DON'T BE LIMITED
And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, ‘Because I bare him with sorrow.’ 1 Chronicles 4:9
Do you find yourself in a situation where everything you do is opposed? Have you gotten to a state where you are at the brink of throwing away your confidence in the Lord’s promise for you? Hebrews 10:35 says, “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.” This is because nothing should be able to limit you.
Jabez was more honorable, more favored and physically handsome than any member of his family, yet he was limited by the meaning of his name. His name meant one who was born in sorrow. Yes, he was honorable than all others, but he was also full of sorrow. Nevertheless, when Jabez travailed in prayer his destiny transformed. Every successful person had to overcome a limitation before reaching higher levels in life.
God has destined you to excel so refuse to be a failure or a by-word. 1 Corinthians 16:9, “a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries” but God leads us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). Decide today not to allow finances, fear, education, sickness, age, height or society to limit you. Get into prayer & renew your mind with the word of God and nothing can limit you this year!
Prayer
I thank you Lord that you have designed a great future for me. I know that the devil will do anything possible to limit me from getting to where you want me to get to, but as I stay in touch with your Spirit, nothing can limit me. I thank you in Jesus’ name, Amen.
