Jabez’s Strategy For Overcoming Limitations

9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1Kings4:9

The only way out of a pit is up. When you find yourself thrown in the dungeon of life like Jabez by circumstances or forces greater than you, what you should first realize is that the greater the depth of your affliction the greater your heigth of success. The greater the story, the greater the glory.

Problems are problems because we can do something about them. What you say in your problem days determines whether you will overcome or not. The first step to failure is to blame someone else for it. Jabez could have chosen to throw in the towel and just give himself a flimsy excuse for not succeeding.

His problem drew him closer to God. He allows us like metals go through the fire to be remould into what he wants us to be. Most atimes, these problems are the foundations which must be well constructed before God builds a skyscraper of success on it for us.

As you choose your word in your situations, heaven will honour your faith in Jesus name.
