God can summarize anybody’s life in 2 verses. The 1st verse is for the HISTORY,
while the second one is about DESTINY
1.
To progress in life STOP LOOKING /DIGGING FOR DETAILS FROM THE PAST. Jabez knew that he
was born in sorrow; that was enough for him; he didn’t dig deeper to find out
the cause of pain his mother went through.
-
The moment you begin to think about your past
,you get stuck
-
Don’t stick on people and their opinions, -you will stink people
-
There are some places that you are to go you
must drop some people
2.
For you to progress, you need PRAYER
Your prayer gives you access to the
invisible;
PRAYER WORRIERS- are shallow people
in prayer. They pray while watching the watch
PRAYER WARRIORS – they pray like
Jesus, without ceasing.
-When prayer warriors pray, they pull
heavens down, and the shallow prayer worriers benefit from the presence of God
pulled down by those who spend quality time with God. Example: when Jesus went to pray on the
mount, he left the shallow disciples alone, went with three, again he saw the
three are still shallow for Him, so he moved yonder to pray, and while they
remained behind sleeping, Jesus called on God till Moses and Elijah appeared,
and the three disciples benefitted from His deep prayer-because through it they
saw the glory of God.
3. For you to progress you need WORSHIP
You
may need qualification to be a preacher, but you do not need any qualifications
to be a worshiper.
Worship is value placed on God. Worship God
when things are right, and worship when they all go wrong , worship in happiness,
worship in sadness, - worship Him all the time.
God
is not looking for preachers, or prophets, he is looking for worshipers,
When you worship well you attract God. The devil
was brought down because he was once a great worshiper , who was overtaken by
pride. And now the he (the devil) is envious of man, because man has been
called son of God, yet he was never called that name despite his great role
before God.
When
a man worships well, all heaven is attracted to him and he receives all favors
that were being given to the devil. This makes him fight worship in all
ways.
4.
For you to progress, you need ENLARGEMENT
For
you to access God, you need enlargement in all areas of life- prayer, worship,
church, etc. you cannot receive bigger things if you still have the same CAPACITY you have always had
See full message on BUILDING
YOUR CAPACITY
5.
For you to progress in life you need THE HAND OF GOD
The hand of God will enable you to conquer
all battles . without it you cannot overcome the challenges of life. It is the
Hand of God that can elevate you high above every difficult situation. The bible
says in Ezekiel 37, that, the Hand of God took me and carried me away (NLT).
6.
For you to progress you need to BE KEPT AWAY FROM EVIL
Jabez said- keep me from all evil. Jesus prayed –lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil in the LORD’S
PRAYER. Because evil, sin and struggles limit the move of God in life.
