Perfect Preparation

Text: 1 Chronicles 2-4

Rhema Verse: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 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.

Message: Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for a future Only He can see. Jabez' mother experienced birth pains more than any other pain from her child delivery kaya ganun ang pinangalan niya kay Jabez. And because of her mother's declaration for her son, he experienced many pains also. God knows why Jabez needed to feel that,,, because it would lead Jabez to call on the LORD ALMIGHTY and a perfect preparation for a great future ahead.

There were many painful experiences I have gone through in my life, in my family and in the business area. But when i looked back sa mga kapalpakan at masakit, costly experiences one thing is true: those experiences really taught us alot, and God carried us through. My dad always says, there's NO mistakes, only lessons.

Promise: God's ways are not man's ways. I can rely my whole life with God, ONLY HE can give me the best future there is.

God's Command: Just believe! Walk through the "experiences" I am with you, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Warning: Do not lose sight of what God can do!

Application:Today we are not feeling well, my husband has a fever and one thing he said strikes me, instead of murmuring he praise God and said, thank you Lord for the update! Although nahihirapan siya, he knew we needed to go through the colds to boost our immune system. Thank you Lord for my wonderful family, thank You Lord for we know there is a great future ahead. Teach me not to lose sight of Your grace and love for me in times of trouble Lord.
