January 10-Jabez

Day 5
HOW DO I RECEIVE GOD’S BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE?
It’s very simple: Do what Jabez did. He “called on the God of Israel.” Even though God has the power to drop every good thing into our lives automatically, He has another plan. His plan is our task. And our task is to ask!

1.What do these passages tell you about asking?
Matthew 7:7-11
Philippians 4:19
James 1:5-8
Hebrews 4:14-16

2.Read Matthew 7:11. What key ingredient is required to be given “good things” by our heavenly Father? How does the prayer of Jabez illustrate what Christ is teaching here?
3.One of the most inspiring parts of Jabez’s prayer for blessing is the word indeed. Jabez asked for an incredible amount of blessings. Read carefully Ephesians 3:20. How does Paul describe the word indeed?

AT LEAST TAKE A BUCKET…
Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you. JIM ROHN
