“Lord
Bless Me Indeed”
10
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and
enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I
will be free from pain." And God granted his request.
What
a bold request of Jabez. How many
of you have the guts to ask God to enlarge your territory?
Most get theirs enlarged only to have it taken away.
You see when God enlarges your territory it takes away from satan and his
territory. Do you think for a
moment that he will sit there and just let you have it without a fight?
I think not! Just like Jesus says in Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to
him who knocks, the door will be opened."
Do you for a minute think
that all of this will just be dropped in your lap without a price?
Oh God loves to bless those who bless others but when you start walking
in Christ and doing what God wants you to do that means you will be taking away
from the realm of the evil one and he would love nothing more than to take you
out for doing it. But if you stand firm once your territory is expanded and you
have been blessed, stand firm in the knowledge that satan CANNOT win, you will
truly be blessed and be a blessing to those in need. I challenge you to say this prayer daily and stand firm in
Jesus and receive that blessing and that enlarged territory and bless others.
Empty your blessing bucket that it can be filled again. OOOO now
there’s a sermon in that.
