When We Have Prayed Like Jabez

Lessons:

1. It is not wrong for us to pray that God enlarge our borders as long as we have set those borders within God’s purposes. Ang mga layunin Niya ay layunin ko.
2. Enlarging our borders means seeing the possibilities he can turn us into. That is seeing His VISION for us. Ang kanyang kinikinita ay akin at nagiisang kinikinita para sa akin.
3. Enlarging our borders also means believing that He can accomplish all these great things He has set before us. That is moving along in FAITH. Kasama ako na may pananampalataya na may gagawin siya sa buhay ko.
4. Enlarging our borders also means the willingness to carry out what the Lord
has already set us to do. This is what we are to do WORK. Ito ay nangangahulugan na Na sasama
tayo sa paggawa ng mga ipapapagawa niya.

Ano ang mangyayari kung tayo ay manalangin kagaya kay Jabez? What will happen when we pray like Jabez? There are two things we get from our praying like Jabez,
1. CROWNS IN FUTURE GLORY . Mga korona sa luwalhati niya
2. JOY AS WE LIVE TODAY. Kasiyahan sa buhay ngayon
Our concern today will not be on the crowns that we get, but rather the joy that we have as we follow the Lord in obedience as we pray like Jabez did.
