- God wants us to prosper (Luke 16:32)
- Don’t fear for fera paralyzes us. (Lk 2:35)

Jabez’s name was given an honourable mention out of the 600 names. Jabez is a common man with uncommon faith.

1.) Jabez has a great ambition.
- he wanterd to expand and grow in life for God
- Some misconceptions:
- Confusing humility with faith (lack of faith)
- Confusing contentment with laziness (Philippians 4:11)
- Confusing spirituality with small things (serve God in bigger ways)

2.) Jabez has a growing faith
- attempt great things for God, expect great things from God
- what is your handicap?

3.) Jabez has a Genuine Prayer Life
- because of his simple prayer
- God’s power in his life (Jn 15:5 we can do nothing without God)
- God’s presence in his life
- God’s protection over his life
