Title: Little Prayer, Big Reward (4 of 4)
Series: Prayer Challenge
Author: David Ireland
Text: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
1.0 Our God is a Prayer-Answering God.
1.1 He answers both small and large prayers.
R. A. Torry, pastor and author once noted, "Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's infinite grace and power. All that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer."
A) There are needs we have that only God Himself can meet. Prayer is the key that gives us access to God's storehouse.
1. Don't overlook the power of little prayers that appear insignificant. They can move the hand of Almighty God.
2. In reading the 4th chapter of 1 Chronicles we're met with a genealogical list that seems almost of little importance. Suddenly we're met with a quick break that causes us to stop dead in our tracks.
1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (NIV)-9 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.
B) The little prayer by an unknown man with an unusual name, Jabez, received a big reward because God granted his request.
What would happen if YOU prayed Jabez's prayer?
1. There are four parts to this little prayer. Each part can be prayed separately. But I'd like you to learn each part and then pray all four parts.
2. Then, wait expectantly for God to grant your request like he did for Jabez.
2.0 Let's Dissect this Powerful Little Prayer.
1 Chronicles 4:10a (NIV)-Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me....
?2.1? "God, BLESS Me."
A) It almost seems self-centered and selfish to come right out with this prayer request, "God, bless me". Yet, Jabez did. And God granted his request.
