God is willing to bless our efforts

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: Jabes asked the Lord for a blessing and to widen his territory, which can be interpreted as asking for greater opportunities and a wider scope to operate in. The Bible encourages us to broaden our horizons and take entrepreneurial initiatives, and not to settle for small things. God blesses those who dream big for His glory and ask Him to expand their capacity and influence.

It is an inheritance of all the children of God that when we enter the ways of the Lord the sails of our boat will flow with the blessed and prosperous wind from the Lord and that we have the right to expect good things, and what is more, we must hope good things that are going to happen in our lives because waiting for God's blessing becomes a prophetic energy that attracts precisely that blessing from God.

If you do not ask the Lord because you do not expect to receive anything you will not receive anything, you have to expect good things from God and you have to ask for good things from the Lord, and that includes the expression of Jabes "if you gave me a blessing" in a global sense of what the word blessing is.
