I will not write these lines about any prophet, nor of anyone who has written a book of the Bible, or any disciple of Christ, martyr, king or prince of the Bible. This paper is about someone named Jabez, although it only appears in two verses of the word, is noteworthy because the script says he prayed to God and He heard their prayers, granted what he asked for and blessed. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
"And Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, to which his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bore him in pain.
Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying: Oh, you would bless me, and if enlarged my territory, and if your hand be with me, and deliver me from evil, that does not hurt me! "And God granted him what he asked."
Jabez's name comes from the Hebrew "osebo" meaning pain. His mother gave him this name because it was given birth in pain, much suffering came into this world, to the point that she called him "that cause pain." Raquel Similarly, in giving birth to Benjamin, before the end, she called her son Benoni, ie "son of my pain ", but despite that came and caused pain, as we know, Rachel died in childbirth, gave Jacob a new name, Benjamin, meaning" son of my right hand ", that is fortunate.
often
sow in tears before his time we may reap in joy. Jabes and Benjamin arrived in great pain but God blessed them later.
Although pain is our heritage, the joy is the promise announced.
Psalms 30:5 "For a now his anger, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Last night weeping and joy cometh in the morning.
Matthew 5:4 "Bienaventuradoos those who mourn for they shall be comforted"
A servant God once said: the path of pain and only that path leads to that place where pain is unknown.
In this life we \u200b\u200bhave trouble, spend a lot of things, but the selfless suffering here in this journey of Christian life, leads to eternal life, where there will be no more suffering or pain.
Jabez received this inheritance from the pain of speaking before, but the joy came into his life brought by the Lord in the mañana.El cried to God saying: Oh yeah bless me indeed!. He expressed his desire to be blessed by God, but their speech is perceived he was submitting his will to God, crying out, but saying, "If you want Lord if you wanted to bless me indeed, if your hand be with me and keep me from evil, that does not cause me pain. "
God's heart was moved with compassion, was pleased with his attitude and his heart and he says the word granted his request. Dear friends, when darramamos our lives at the feet of Christ, humbling ourselves and denying our claims, dreams, thoughts themselves, ultimately ourselves and ask according to His will say thy will and not mine, He like this and our prayers are answered according to his purposes in our lives. God does not despise a broken and contrite heart, our Father is pleased when we submit to His will and please with a humble heart.
A simple and natural example to explain this. My wife Susan likes me, loves me, cares, with peaceful attitude waiting for me when I return to work and submit in love. Therefore, when I perceive that attitude of heart towards me, I want to love, care, pleasant, do good and I can easily do so if she has any need to the extent possible, be covered.
The more our God, if he pleases in our lives, then our prayers have come up as a nuisance and perfume to their presence. He will act according to His will and His riches in glory and that we ask not for our own sake but for his work and his kingdom, we will be granted.
Here we make a break and explain that the motivation of our life should be the kingdom of God. "No trabajéis for food that perishes, but for which endures to eternal life."
not compatible to be a Christian and be thinking, looking and looking for material things. "I do not receive because you ask amiss", here is the kit of the question, whether we live, the live, not to enrich, not to expect to be prospered materially, this does not concern us and hope this will be against desired blessings the heavenly kingdom. There is no place in the middle, if we are asking to fatten our coffers, we may be asking for our own destruction. Conversely, whatever we ask to advance the kingdom of God according to His will, we will be done, as this is what the Lord wants. So far this little clarification.
Jabez's desire to be kept from evil and that this caused him no pain and the blessing of God, was answered by the Lord. Jabez was probably a man of prayer. In verse 9 says that "it was more honorable than his brothers," certainly was an example for them to be pious and righteous before God, someone with some spiritual weight. Perhaps the family counselor, who relied their brethren in the midst of any problem, someone who was a witness at home, in short, Jabez was a man God had blessed through prayer. Also, as it was Jabez, Jacob was greatly blessed and transformed through prayer. After that night and did not return to be the same. We all know the story, he said, not leave you until you bless me and was able to confess after their fight in prayer and pain, and tomorrow, "I saw God face to face and my life is." It was transformed by Lord, it was his past and his pain behind and was given a new name.
Ana also poured out his heart before God's presence. She cried to the Lord in distress and says in 1 Samuel 1:18 that it was and was not more sad. Arrived at the temple in distress, cried to him with great despair and sorrowful but left with joy and happiness. God blessed her, consoled and answered their prayers. She did not ask Samuel to have you at his side, but consecrated him to God even before birth, and acted accordingly.
All these are examples of people who poured out their hearts to God and cried out to him and answered their prayers.
We must yearn to live in prayer and, like them, spilling our hearts before God. Our faith must be tested in the midst of affliction and testing, but then surely we will see His glory. In Matthew 9:21, the wife of blood flow is said within himself: "If only touch the hem of his garment, I shall be whole." She spent many years in pain at night, but joy came in the morning because their faith and their cry of the Lord moved the heart and was healed.
But also, as we have said, we must ask God to do His will, we are not always their intention that patients will be healthy, because He knows what we need, even if we die and leave this world will be your perfect will. In the words of praise:
"I do not want to be, or where you want to go, then who am I to choose my path Lord, my God will choose, He knows best, where send me, I'll "pray so as
Jabez, in a conditional to the will of God: Oh yeah
bless me indeed!
That blessing is God's true that we need, that need our life, that will help us for our good. not our purpose, not our will but the will of God in our lives. Jabez asked God's blessing and not yours and you must desire our soul, even if it hurts in the This, in our flesh, but it is the blessing that lasts forever, the Father's will. We are convenient to us to ask God's will and not ours. Anticipate Their purpose we take the helm of our lives take us inevitably the sinking ship.
A woman went to a pastor asking him to pray for her son who was seriously ill. He prayed fervently but eventually said "Lord, if You will save this child." She thereupon said: "I can not tolerate this. You should ask my son to live. I do not want to hear 'yes' or' but ". The minister replied: "Woman, you may live to rue the day you wanted to put your will against the will of God."
Twenty years later, the victim brought to faint under the gallows where they had executed his son for being a criminal.
This is a painful story that shows the devastating consequences of putting our will to His.
Brothers, He knows us and knows what we need, we are at school and wants to teach us and bless us but not our way but His way, which is nice and perfect.
And we know that those who love God all things work together for good, that is, who according to His purpose are called. Romans 8:28
also in James 1:2 tells us to take it all joy when we are in different tests, this is a sure sign that the potter is giving us shape and mold in his image.
Although the pain is now our traveling companion and suffering of the night we grieve and your life is like a long night of weeping, morning will come the joy and cries of joy at dawn.
conclude with this final paragraph of the beloved Spurgeon, that both breaks my heart. God teaches us, help us and comfort us, to be worthy to suffer for Christ and our wash our clothes, purifying our hearts in the beauty of holiness, to enter on that day in the City.
WHATEVER COMES TO ETERNITY, AS A PREPARATION FOR THE WORLD TO COME, ANY THING THAT CAN CARRY THROUGH THE RIVER, THE HOLY JOY will blossom in those fields GROWN BEYOND THE CURRENT, THE PURE LOVE WITHOUT THE CLOUDS BROTHERHOOD TO CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE OF TRUTH FOR EVER, ANYTHING OF THIS HAVE THE WIDE TYPE ARROW EVERLASTING IMMUTABLE BRAND IS TRULY A BLESSING.

IF MY FAITH removed his disguise, and snatched the LA BELLA VISOR FRONT OF BLESSING AND JOY DROP COUNTS AS EVIDENCE IN DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF JESUS \u200b\u200bAND AWARD REWARD HAS PROMISED THAT HE IS TRULY A BLESSING. OH SI bless me indeed!
