And we pray 🙏🏾/🤲 this 2nd day of September, for God to Shine upon us, in Jesus’ MIGHTY Name, Amen.

As from today, you shall begin to walk in divine wealth. Every chapter closed by men against you shall be re-opened in your favor in Jesus’ Name, Amen. Those who gather to frustrate your vision will beg to be part of your celebration in Jesus’ Name. The Lord will give you a new name and a new identity that will bury all the ugly stories associated with your background. A similar grace that made Jabez more honorable than his brethren will distinguish you among your equals. All areas where money may disgrace you, the mercy of God will raise men of influence in your favor in Jesus’ MIGHTY Name, Amen.

Jabez changed his destiny by praying boldly and directly to the God of Israel, asking for God’s blessing, the expansion of his territory, His powerful presence, and protection from evil and pain. Despite his name meaning “he who causes pain,” a reflection of his painful birth, Jabez’s sincere and faithful prayer was answered by God, Who granted him a life of favor and honor, proving that a person’s future is not predetermined by hardship.
Jabez’s Prayer for a Changed Destiny

Jabez’s prayer, recorded in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.
