1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 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.”
There is something about our faith and trust in God that touches him to the point that he will withhold no good thing from us. Such was the case with Jabez. There is little known about him other than his prayer. But what a powerful prayer!
Looking at 1 Chronicles it contains a genealogical record. Jabez, in a single phrase added to his lineage, regarding his prayer, demonstrated to all how to pray God’s will over our lives.
According to an article entitled “What Is the Prayer of Jabez in the Bible?” (Biblestudytools.com), “Jabez’s inheritance was by faith over heritage. God blessed Jabez, not with prosperity in return for his prayers, but with provision for the will God wished to execute through his life.
With Jabez, we must not read his prayer as a request for private blessing, but as a cry for God to bless him as a part of God’s covenant people. His name, ironically, means pain and sorrow.”
I agree and the amazing part is that his because of his faith and trust in God, that name that may have initially been all about sorrow came to mean more. God has a way of changing us when we come into contact with him so that we are no longer the same as we use to be. Spiritually changing our name. Abram became Abraham. Saul became Paul. Similarly the stigma of Jabez’s name (which meant pain and sorrow) was removed and his name was given to a city of Judah where the families of the scribes dwelt (1Chronicles 2:55).
Let’s look at Jabez’s Prayer:
-And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Calling on God. This seems standard to some but believe it or not, many try to obtain the blessings of God without honoring his name. They want to decree and declare, but we must approach God correctly before we can hope to access his goodness. Just look at The Lord’s Prayer. The first part (our father which are in heaven Hollywood be thy name) is all about giving honor and reverence to God.
-Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed,
Seeking God’s will. Bless me (in fact; in reality; in truth; truly). Acknowledging it is God’s will to bless, but asking that he would bring the blessings to pass in his life.
-and enlarge my coast,
Asking God for More. Increase me God. This is not a simple request. Luke 12:28 tells us to – Whom much is given much is required. Words easily uttered, but should not be done thoughtlessly. Can you successfully maneuver under the mantle of more? But as God is leading you to pray this prayer ask it in confidence. God gave you the unction because knew you were built to handle it!
-and that thine hand might be with me,
Asking for God’s Continual Guidance. Acknowledging we can do nothing without him. We need God in every decision so we can be a good steward of the coming blessings, and the enlarged coasts. Jabez recognized to try and navigate these new waters without God’s constant guidance is to steer toward certain failure.
-and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! Ask for God’s Protection. With such natural and spiritual wealth the temptation to sin also increases. Jabez understood unless God kept him he would be subject to falling victim to all kinds of evil (sin). This evil would eventually cause great distress to him. He needed God’s protection. He wanted to avoid this even before it became an issue. 1 Thessalonians 5:22-23 KJV, “Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
My favorite part – “And God granted him that which he requested.”
We can we learn from Jabez’s prayer? God has a plan for us all. We cannot allow what people would want to call us or how they would label us l, to be our story. We have to lean into God and trust his plan. We have that God given yearning in our hearts, and we feel the urge of “more” within us. We must have that vision. We must align our faith with what God is saying to our hearts and work towards that goal. That same pull from the Holy Spirit is what caused Jabez to pray this prophetic prayer. His prayer not only line up with the covenant God made with Abraham, it also showed the level of faith and trust to take God at his word.
A couple definitions:
Envision means to imagine as a future possibility; visualize.
Embrace is to accept or support (a belief, theory, or change) willingly and enthusiastically.
What about you? What has God spoken to you regarding your life? Don’t let go of it. Even if you cannot fully envision it now, continue to pray about it. Embrace it in prayer. Ask God to prepare you to skillfully handle the blessing, to operate in the spirit of excellence so the he gets the glory.
Do not get distracted by your current state or size. The Bible says not to despise small beginnings. But choose to lean into the vision and trust God’s plan. You will get that expected end.
Luke 24:1-2, “Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.”
Because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Because he lives all my fears are gone. I know who holds my future. My trust is in him.
Luke 23:33, “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”
Luke 23:46, “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.”
Be good to one another.
Take a moment of reflection this Easter season. What better time than Good Friday? The day that is set aside is in commemoration of crucifixion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Jesus, who knew no sin, took on all our sins so that we might be free.
Take a moment to review your life, and those who may have wronged or hurt you. Decide to exercise forgiveness. In doing so, you release the burden of the situation from you to God.
Choose to show and spread brotherly love to one another. Start with a smile of acknowledgement. You may never understand how your smile can impact someone’s day.
Be kind, and appreciate even the smallest of blessings.
Take the time to attend Easter Service and embrace the full impact of the season. It is so much more than buying new clothes. And it has nothing to do with a bunny!
Luke 19:13, “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, occupy till I come.”
It is time to occupy.
Occupy is to reside, fill, keep, take control of by military conquest or settlement.
God has given his people many gifts, talents, callings, etc. We are given charge over ministries and organizations, but we face stalls in progression, and we wonder where God is.
We understand (to a certain extent) what we are supposed to do but are afraid to make the first move. Instead, we find a reason to explain why we have not yet taken our place or actively working with these God-given gifts. We make excuse afterexcuse and will call it something else. We tie it up in a cute bow and say we are waiting for God to reveal himself or provide additional instruction. But the truth of the matter is we forgot who we are in Christ and so have forgotten the God we serve!
An awfully familiar scripture we may have heard many times, and probably quoted a time or two – 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” This scripture we need to keep on the speed dial of our mind. We may need to lean on this severaltimes a day. It is a weapon to use to fight any time we feel the tentacles of fear trying to creep up on us and choke out our spiritual ambition.
The story in the text, Luke 19:11-27, tells the parable of a Nobleman who took a journey to receive his official appointment to rule a kingdom. Like with anyone seeking a position of power, there will be some who want them in the position and some who don’t. Before he left, he called his 10servants to him. These were men who knew the character of the nobleman. He gave them money to work with and told them to deal skillfully with it (occupy till I come).
Let’s stop here to take a deeper look. The Nobleman did not leave instructions on what they were supposed to do with the money. He trusted his servants to operate within their specialized skill set to make a gain or increase on the pound.This is what God does with his children too. He has given us gifts and callings and makes sure we are aware of what he has placed in us. Throughout our life and walk with him we have brushed up against these gifts many times. We may not know their full scope, but we are not ignorant of what we have been given.
I believe this is also where many fall prey to fear. Because we can sense the magnitude of our gift and become intimidated to go after it to the degree God requires. Instead, we trick ourselves to believe we are waiting for God to reveal himself to us.
However, God has done what he has done! Now the ball is in our court to make the next move. Read James 2:14-26. However, we are going to focus on verses 14, 17, 20, 22, and 26.
Verse 14 – asks a couple important questions – what does it profit to have faith and no works? Can faith (alone) save him?
Verse 17 – answers the questions – faith, if it has no works, is dead being alone.
Verse 20 – reiterates and confirms the answer given in verse 17.
Verse 22 – confirmation that our faith is made perfect by our works.
You may ask what that means. Simply put, when you believe a thing you must walk, live, move like you do, you put your faith in action and walk it out in your life.
Verse 26 – sums up the matter. Just as the body is dead without the spirit, so is out faith dead without works.
God expects his people to step out by faith and make moves. Now, we do not do this blindly. We fast and pray; we seek direction from God. We also search the scriptures, and we do our research. We go after education that will allow us to move with knowledge in the spirit of excellence.
This is key. We must study our craft (the area where our gift, talent, calling, and anointing resides). Then we make strategic and calculated moves – while we are still actively seeking the Lord.
Think about Abraham. After everything God did for Abraham and Sarah to get Isaac here, Abraham knew there was no way God would take away that same promise. He remembered the God he served. He understood that Isaac would need to be alive so the promised could be fulfilled. So, Abraham knew that somehow Isaac would leave the situation alive and well. Abraham assured Isaac that God would provide himself a sacrifice (see Genesis 22:8). He had faith and put works to his faith. In his obedience, Abraham lifted his hand with the knife to slay Isaac, but God stopped him and provided a ram in the bush.
Now looking back at the text again – let’s look at the Greek translation of ‘occupy’. It means to concern oneself. Dwell, live, inhabit, reside, populate, possess, hold, own, have, master. To busy, employ. To conceive, understand, sit in.
They were to become fully engaged in working with the pound to increase it.
God expects the same from us. We are to become fully engaged with our ministry (gifts, talents, callings, etc.). We must concern ourselves with the gift of God. We are to seek to understand it, to sit in it (fully accept it and embrace). We are to possess it and conceive (reproduce) and populate the space God has given us to operate in. God has invested in us, and he does expect a return on that investment.
Failing to add work with out faith is to bring judgement upon ourselves.
When the Nobleman returned the ruler of the Kingdom, his first order of business was to check on his ten servants. To get a report on how the increased the gift. The first two servants surveyed did well. They added to that which had been given. This was not so with the last servant surveyed. This servant hid the gift in the ground and did nothing with it. This angered the new ruler, and he passed harsh judgement on that servant, while he rewarded the faithful servants.
We must ask ourselves, what will God say when he comes back to find that nothing has been done to expand upon the investment he has placed in us?
But when we do step out on faith and add works to it – we occupy till he comes – God is glorified. There is no excuses not to.
Philippians 4;8-9,”8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
I just wanted to say how glad I am for salvation. I am overjoyed at the wondrous work Jesus’ great sacrifice at Calvary’s Cross. Jesus paid it all for me (us), and today I am just thankful and grateful!
Worship is my position and my attitude.
Worship is the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity – “the worship of God”
Today I intend to take time to just thank him and bask in his presence. I invite you to join me. As the old song says “when I think of the goodness of Jesus, and all he has done for me my soul cries out hallelujah. I thank God for saving me.”
There is a release and a freedom in worship. You can let go of everything – stress, trauma, worry, and fears, etc – and just focus on him. The best thing is when your worship is over you don’t ever have to pick those things up again. You can leave them all at the Master’s feet. John 8:36, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” Let us walk in the freedom. For we maintain it through worship.
My prayer for you is that you have a blessed and safe Friday. And an excellent weekend.
Keep your mind free and focused by thinking on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Allow your mind to meditate on those things which strengthen you spiritually and bring glory to God. Let the love of God fortify you.
Luke 19:1-4, “1. And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2. And, behold there was a man named Zachaeus, which was the chief among publicans, and he was rich. 3. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.”
Before we jump into this, let’s explore some key definitions:
Determination: firmness of purpose; resoluteness.
Curiosity: a strong desire to know or learn something. (Some synonyms for curiosity are eagerness, interestedness, intrusiveness, investigation, nosiness). It is the state of being curious; inquisitive, wondering, ready to poke around and figure something out.
Curiosity is the urge you feel to know more about something.
Some say there is a downside to curiosity, for there is an old proverb – curiosity killed the cat – which is used to warn of the dangers of unnecessary investigation or experimentation. It implies that being curious can sometimes lead to danger or misfortune.
However, the scriptures give us a different view. Deuteronomy 6:21-21 is an example of how God warn that future generations would have questions about what happened here (curiosity). God told them how they should respond. They were to provide all the details, keeping nothing back. 1 Peter 3:15-20, God advise the people that they should always be ready to give a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.
Curiosity is not a bad thing!
Most of the time, when you have an urge, or desire, or curiosity – when it comes to God, the things of God, or making changes in your life – it is rooted in God.
I remember about 2015/2016, I had a strong desire to go natural with my hair. At the time, I did not know why. I was still living in Phoenix, AZ and dealing with the heat of the desert where having a relaxer was the easier way to go. But I had this strong urge to do it. I did have some female issues (I did not know at the time – they could be traced back to the use of chemicals on my hair), but no other reason to want to make this change. But I followed the urge and did a lot of research to satisfy my curiosity about natural hair lifestyle. After my research I realized the change was beneficial to my health. Additionally, we eventually relocated from Arizona to North Carolina in 2016. The change made sense for my new climate, it fixed some other health issues I was unaware of at the time, and my hair is stronger and healthier than ever. All because I followed the urge with prayer and research. I believe it was God’s will for me to make this change.
This is just one small example from my life. I am positive if you look back over your life, you can find your own examples.
When you have a pull or urge to make some changes or to make some moves don’t disregard it or blow it off. Prayerfully consider it, because it is probably God who is maneuvering you to the place he needs you to be. Let the Lord lead you!
Let us first explore Zachaeus’ story.
He had an urge (a curiosity) to see Jesus. He did not know him, but he heard about him. Zachaeus was curious to go see Jesus in person. He moved with determination (firmness of purpose, resoluteness).
He faced some roadblocks:
– He was chief among publicans.
– He was rich.
– He was short (little in stature and he could not get through the crowd that was around Jesus).
But he had some great qualities:
– He was persistent.
– He was smart.
– He was determined.
Zachaeus found a way to satisfy his curiosity. He knew the way Jesus was heading. He ran ahead of him and climbed a tree that would put him in a place to see Jesus.
Zachaeus thought he was just going to see Jesus, and that was that. But Jesus had other plans for Zachaeus. His curiosity put him in the place that God needed him to be. Jesus got to the tree and look at Zachaeus “…Zachaeus make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.” Luke 19:5b. Just that quickly Jesus changed Zachaeus’ life. He gave to the poor and righted any financial wrong he may have committed.
God had other plans for Zachaeus life. He used Zachaeus’ curiosity to propel him to the place God needed him to be. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Earlier we spoke about the urge or curiosity being rooted in God. We may not understand what if pushing us to make moves, but it is God working his plan out in our lives. He is leading us to our expected end.
Now the people wanted to judge Jesus and despise Zachaeus. “And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner.” Luke 19:7. But Jesus set the record straight. He reminded the people that Zachaeus is also a son of Abraham. Jesus told them plainly – “I came to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:9-10.
Side note: we cannot let the opinion of others deter us from doing the will of God. It may seem strange to them. But just as Jesus was focused on his purpose – to seek and save that which was lost, we must have that same focus. Do not fear the judgment of people, because they are going to judge you. Rather stay focused on your purpose. Follow as God leads you.
Be encouraged to follow that pull or urging God has placed in you. You may not fully understand it now. But follow it prayerfully and God will get the Glory!
You asked God for a better life than your parents were able to give you. You wanted different for your children. You had this urge to go to nursing school. It may have been a farfetched dream for you. But the urge to do it was so strong you had to pursue it. You applied to a program and was accepted. You worried about how you were going to afford it and work at the same time. Then you found a program that would work with you schedule and they helped you with financing. All your roadblocks were removed. The next thing you know you are attending class and doing well. Then you graduate and become a nurse, fulfilling your dream. All this time, God was steering you towards your expected end. And he used your curiosity to set you on that path.
What is that thing in your spirit or constantly on your mind that you feel you need to do? Go after in in Jesus’ name. Seek him in prayer for direction and instruction. Do not expect people to understand or to give you the “okay” but know that God will give you an expected end.
Curiosity did not kill the cat. Curiosity that is God birthed leads to the will of God being fulfilled in our lives.
2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
During this month of prayer and fasting we have discussed refreshed, renewed and recharged.
Refreshed: give new strength or energy to; reinvigorate. God expects us to stay connected to him. To turn to him in times of trouble. To ask him for what we need.
Renewed: having been resumed, re-established, or revived. To give fresh life or strength to; revive. To replace (something that is broken or worn out). To be changed into something new and different, something better. That really sums up what renewal in Christ means in that we were remade into something better.
Recharged: restore our charge to by reconnecting to our source – God. To be refilled. To return to a normal state of mind or strength after a period of physical or mental exertion. A spiritual recharge (reconnecting back to God) allows us to get direction and instruction directly from God.
Now we are going to talk about revival.
By definition revival is a reawakening of religious intense and passionate feeling. A restoration to bodily or mental effort, energy, and enthusiasm.
I would define spiritual revival as to breathe life back into something that was dead or nearly dead. To quicken or make alive again. To restore zeal and passion for God and the work of God.
Some of my fondest memories are of different revival services that I have attended through the years. It was blessing to witness the powerful word of God and the move of God. To see people rejoicing, repenting, recommitting their lives back to God. Most importantly, to see the people excited once again to get back in place and operate in the spirit to accomplish the will of God.
Yes, there is nothing like revival.
Jonah 3:1-10, is a great example of the power of revival. We know the story of Jonah and how he ran from the call of God. But God had a plan- a great fish. He knew how to get Jonah in the place he needed him to be to accomplish his will. When Jonah yielded to God and preached to Nineveh, they repented and began to pursue God. There was an awesome revival in Nineveh.
Once received, the goal then becomes to keep the spirit of the revival. Once we have been revived, we must maintain that sense of intense urgency to do the will of God. I know this sounds like a constant state of high alert. And in a way it is. We are to be ever vigilant because our enemy is always on alert seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We cannot afford to forget who we are. We cannot forget the people who are depending upon us to be in our place.
Why spiritual revival?
1. Inspiration – the message of the cross of Christ reveals God’s love for humanity. Inspires believers follow him whole heartedly.
2. A sense of purpose – the love of God illuminates the call on the believer’s life. It propels us into action.
3. Rededication – in those times when we seem to have lost our way, revival sets our feet back on a solid foundation. It clears our mind allowing us to hear God. Just as he did with Jonah, God moves us to where we need to be.
Maintaining revival takes work. We must remain faithful and focused. We cannot stay down when we stumble. We have to forgive ourselves, shake the dust off, and get back in line. This is maturity.
It is never too late for revival.
Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Do not let the enemy lie to you and tell you it is too late. That God won’t forgive you for all the wrong you have done. That there is no good left in you. These are lies designed to keep you where you are. The enemy is only lying to you because he sees God is pulling you away from him.
Luke 19:10, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Revival is to reawaken and restore. God wants to reawaken that measure of faith that is dealt to everyone. He wants to restore us to the place we lost when Adam failed in the Garden of Eden. God wants to reconcile us back to himself.
Revival is here and it is waiting for you.
2 Chronicles 7:14, tells us of God’s assurance to those who seek to be revived. But God does have requirements
1. Be humble – be willing to recognize we are nothing without him.
2. Pray – be willing to have open communication with God.
3. Seek his face – pursue his will for your life.
4. Turn form your way of doing things – be willing to give up your fleshy desires and schemes (your way do doing things). To exchange them for him and his ways.
It’s time to be revived and get in place. I invite you to pray this prayer of revival:
Father, we come before you in humble praise. Thanking you for your tender mercies that are new every morning. We ask for a spirit of revival to blow through our lives to clear out everything that is not like you. We pray revival for ourselves, our city, our country and the world. Turn our hearts back to you, oh God. Revive and renew our sense of purpose, so that we may do your will. Forgive us, oh God, and help us forgive ourselves. We thank you reviving us, in Jesus name, Amen!

Isaiah 57:15, “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
I hope you are having a great and blessed Prayer Month 2024. On this final week we are going to discuss revival.
We will dig deeper into what revival is and how we should pursue and walk in it during our Wednesday Bible study. But today, Pastor Adams is talking about the sudden move of God. please enjoy this awesome word to help you prepare for the coming week(s).
Stay encouraged! Don’t give up, don’t give in, because it’s going to be God, immediately!

Luke 22:32, “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”
Contrary to popular opinion ministry is hard. At times it is thankless. People will either be drawn to you or they will avoid you. People want to be in your presence to sponge off your anointing or they are jealous of your anointing. Because of the later there are always plots and schemes in the works against those in ministry.
I call this a catch 22. An impossible situation where you are prevented from doing one thing until you have done another thing that you cannot do until you have done the first thing.
Ministry can be frustrating but the reward far outweighs any frustrations we may face. There is nothing like the feeling of walking (operating) in your calling, knowing that you are helping people. We strive to accomplish the vision but many times the journey to the goal line is a hard fought battle. We suffer loss, temptation, backlash, failures and yes, victories too. The same people who love you today will hate you tomorrow.
Yes, ministry can take a toll. However, to the minister this is a fact of life. And it does not matter. For there is nothing that would cause us to walk away from what God has given us to do.
We may not all have the same type of ministry, or do the same type of work. But the call, the unction from the Holy Spirit is just as strong for us all.
Yes, ministry can take its toll causing the minister to feel drained at times. This is when we need a recharge.
By definition recharge is to restore an electric charge to (a battery or a battery-operated device) by connecting it to a device that draws power from another source of electricity. To be refilled. To return to a normal state of mind or strength after a period of physical or mental exertion.
Vacations are greatly needed, but they can only address part of the physical need. A spiritual recharge helps the body and the spirit. We take the time to plug back into our source. This fuels us spiritually, calms our mind, refocuses our energy towards our purpose. A recharge allows us to get direction and instruction directly from God.
God knows this dusty frame. He knows first hand the tragedy and benefit of ministry. He knows we may get discouraged and face strong opposition, and experience many ups and downs. He knows us so well that he prays for us, so our faith stays strong. Then encourages us that when you get your strength back – go back and help your brother. This is ministry!
So during this month of prayer and fasting, let us not forget to recharge. Shut off every thing and everyone around you and focus on God.
My recharge is simple – I play gospel music that moves me to worship. Then I just enjoy time basking in Gods presence in worship. While I am in his presence I am strengthened, refueled, encouraged, and find a renewed sense of purpose. I get direction and instruction. My peace is increased.
What is your recharge? How do you reconnect to God – your power source? How are you refilled? How do you return to a normal strength and state of mind after spiritual and mental exertion?
Whatever you do to get back to that place where you are effective in ministry – it must start and end with drawing closer to God. Remember people are waiting for you and depending on you to be in your place. We face an enemy who does not take a day off. An enemy who is always on his job. But take heart, God does give us time to take care of ourselves. And he trusts us to get back in line and back to work.
Remember to take time for yourself. You cannot be effective if you are running on empty. Get plugged back in to your source.
Pray this prayer of recharge with me…
Father God, I come before your presence to settle myself and be still before you. I let go of all the baggage and burdens from the battles I have fought through you. I lay all my cares and concerns at your feet. I give them to you. I accept the peace that you give. I walk in your light and the liberty and freedom you have given me. I ask for your direction. I thank you for speaking to my heart and mind. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
