Bible Text: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Memory Verse: “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.” 1
Chronicles 4:10, NIV
There was a man whose family members had written him off as a total failure. No one believed anything good could come out of his life. Worse still, he also had written himself off until he came across a book on “self-discovery,” he followed the steps on how to do better, which he did and became a better person.
The mother of Jabez named him “pain” due to the experience she had during his birth. This became part of him as he indeed experienced pains and misfortune. Not until he was able to discover himself, he did believe his life could be better, and so he prayed to God who is able to make an everlasting and life changing turnaround. God heard him, and he became the most honorable among his brothers.
Discovering oneself has many blessings attached to it. It helps to identify and understand our abilities and real identity. Until you discover who you are in Christ Jesus, you will only remain an object of ridicule. So arise, come to Jesus, ask Him for directions, ask that He order your steps and realign you and He will help you to discover yourself and how to achieve your purpose in life.
Insight: It is the picture you see about yourself that will drive you to your palace.
Prayer: O Lord, I cancel all negative perceptions working against my life and destiny in Jesus name.
