Let's not run away from the pain

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: Jabez was more illustrious than his brothers, meaning he had substance and weight in his personality. Perhaps his painful childhood, due to his negative name, prepared him to pray with power and authority. Pain can be an ally and a crucible that increases our faith and polishes our character. Don't run from pain, use it as an ally to prepare for great things that God wants to do in your life.

The name 'Jabes' was a negative prophecy that released a spiritual energy that in a sense condemned Jabes to a life of pain, because that was what he meant: jabes, pain, and that's how his mother conceived it.

In 1 Chronicles 4:10 he tells us that Jabez invoked the God of Israel saying: "Oh if you would give me a blessing and expand my territory, and if your hand were with me, and you would deliver me from evil so that it would not harm me" he says God what he asked.
