Daily devotion

Good morning, here's the word for today, Saturday August 8, 2020.

Blessed Indeed

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: “Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protection—don’t let evil hurt me.” God gave him what he asked.

1 Chronicles 4:10, MSG

TODAY'S WORD:

The name Jabez means “pain, sorrow, suffering.” Every time someone said, “Hello, Jabez,” they were saying, “Hello, sorrow. Hello, pain.” They were prophesying defeat and failure. You can imagine how he could have let that make him feel inferior and insecure. But despite what people labeled him, he had the boldness to ask big, that God would bless him with abundance and protection. And God blessed him indeed.

Like Jabez, you may have reasons to settle where you are—what you didn’t get, what people said, the odds may be against you—but the good news is that God is for you. He can thrust you further than you ever imagined, but you have to pray bold prayers. Ask in spite of the circumstances. Ask in spite of what people are saying. Ask in spite of what the enemy keeps whispering in your ears. If you’re going to reach your highest potential, you have to learn this principle of asking big.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

“Father, thank You that when the odds are against me, You are for me. Thank You that nothing and no one is more powerful than You, and I can dare to pray bold prayers. I believe that You are going to bless me with abundance as You did Jabez. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

This beautiful morning, I send unto you word of the LORD in every area of your life that your heart is troubled and spirit fainting there shall be divine touch and visitation. You will receive good news that will bring joy unspeakable and revive your fainting spirit. New songs shall burst out of your heart and you will have cause to take dancing steps, God will water your dry ground and solidify your slippery path. Your trees will bear fruits at the appointed time and there shall not be scarcity of good things in your life. The wasters and devourers will be locked out and Every covenant of death, sickness, poverty, shame and stagnation concerning you is hereby cancelled in Jesus name, Amen. Good morning and Have a blissful Weekend.
