Jabez, a reflection of Christ.
1 Chronicles 4: 9- 10


The Prayer of Jabez
- He declared God’s lordship and headship over his life.
- He knew blessings come from God alone.
- He wanted his territory to increase.
- He wanted God to be with him
- He wanted God’s protection

Who is Jabez?

Observation:
- The name Jabez only appears three times in the Bible:
twice v.9, once v.10
- This unknown man appears in the midst of the genealogy
as an isolated narrative.

It is my perception that when a person appears suddenly like this, he must have something that reflects in his life the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We see in Jabez..

1. He was born in pain or sin.
2. He was more honourable than all his brothers.
3. He cried to God.
4. Jabez cried out for 5 things…
5. God granted his request.

Application:
So what do we do.

1. We must be like Christ… more honourable than all our brothers
2. We must cry out to the Lord… for the people
3. We must be willing to sacrifice, so that God will hear our prayer and answer.
