“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.” (John 5:1-9a NLT Version)
This is your Sunday Share meditation. Since I have challenged you weekly to take note when the word is preached on Sunday and to review your notations, let me give you the major points that Pastor M.R. King made in the message from the Lord on last Sunday to show you that I am not telling you to do something I don’t do. As always, I recommend that you go to Salt Of The Earth’s (Indianapolis) Facebook site or the church’s recent YouTube posting to hear the whole sermon. The points our Pastor elaborated on as he preached on the subject, “Praying Past the Pain” are as follows: (1) Ask God to pour into you. (2) Prepare for what God pours into you. (3) After He pours, stay connected to God. I promise you that you will benefit from listening to this specific word. It was not just specifically for me, but it was specifically for you too!
Bonus: Here are some side notes that I wrote down. Perhaps they will be helpful too. (1) Don’t let others’ perceptions to put a pause on your persistent performance as a believer. (2) Prayer puts us in a position for a better outcome. (3) God can rewrite your story when you pray intentionally. (4) Don’t let what people called you in the past sidetrack you from what God wants you to be now. (5) Be aware of this: When God brings you to a new level in any area of life: “New levels mean new devils.” (6) Don’t receive your blessings and then lose your dependence on God. (7) Stay cognizant of your limitations, but at the same time be aware that God is not limited. There you go, seven bonus points. Seven usually stands for completion. Smile!
Listen! I not only attend church, but I give my attention to the preached word. How about you? Have a great day! Be blessed!
Committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
Dont stop Praying when God answer your prayer. We must staty connected to God.
