Dear Friend,

1 Chron. 4:10 Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying “ Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."

Four things Jabez prayed:

1. That God would bless him indeed: Spiritual blessings are the best blessings: God's blessings are real things, and produce real effects.

2. That He would enlarge his coast: That God would enlarge our hearts, and so enlarge our portion in himself, and in the heavenly Canaan, ought to be our desire and prayer.

3. That God's hand might be with him: God's hand with us, to lead us, protect us, strengthen us, and to work all our works in us and for us, is a hand all-sufficient for us.

4. That he would keep him from evil: The evil of sin, the evil of trouble, all the evil designs of his enemies, that they might not hurt, nor make him a Jabez indeed, a man of sorrow. God granted that which he requested. God is ever ready to hear prayer: his ear is not now heavy.

We trust you are that person whom God wants to bless.

Come join us as we meet on Sundays and during the week at various centres in the city of Thane.

The Lord abundantly bless you.
