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.
1 Chronicles 4:10
What a powerful prayer. Lord, enlarge my territory. When we call upon the Lord to broaden our scope of evangelism, ministries, blessings to others and ourselves, He will. You will meet others through divine connections and He will move in ways never thought possible. He will open doors other wise closed and mountains will be cast into the seas. We must be prepared and equipped with the knowledge and wisdom of God to know what to do with this very honored gift. The Lord will use you and work through you when you ask. He will call upon you and do wondrous things through you. My husband began a small evangelist ministry within our home where people met twice a week and went out in town and talked to people about Jesus. Through his "core of 4 people" they led as a whole 86 people to Christ in their first year. The Lord has now enlarged our territory by taking those same 4 people and has formed a weekly bible study that has tripled in size and is now becoming a home grown church. All within a year and a half. What is happening is the seeds that the ministry first harvested in the fields are now being blessed by God and are growing thus enlarging our territory. Very exciting to be a part of it. So are you ready to challenge yourself for God? Are you ready for the journey of your life by enlarging your own territory? May the Lord bless you and keep you.
