\"\"<\/a>Make a decision today, to be debt-free, and receive a life of abundance. Pray for it, plan for it, and make it happen. Consider the prayer of Jabez:<\/p>\n

\u201cDear God, bless me and expand my territory! Let Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that it will not hurt me. And God please grant what I ask.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

There are believers who will tell you God performs miracles. Ask the same people if they believe a money miracle is possible, and you\u2019ll get responses\u00a0 that run the gamut from hemming to hawing.<\/p>\n

We believe that we\u2019re in this thing we call \u201cmoney-management\u201d all alone. Master Card has my name on my billing statement, nowhere does it say: \u201c& God.\u201d Yet we know, we never stand-alone. God is with us in spirit, and when we\u2019re paying our bills.<\/p>\n

Bruce Wilkinson figured out a way to harness the power of the Jabez prayer, and bring prosperity into his own life. He shared it with others in his best-selling book, \u201cThe Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s five secrets to prosperity we learn from the Prayer of Jabez:<\/p>\n

1. Jabez wanted to be more and do more for God, and so can you.<\/p>\n

2. Jabez is still remembered not for what he did, but for what he prayed.<\/p>\n

3. The Jabez prayer distills God’s powerful will for your future. It reveals that God longs
\nto give you much more than you may have ever thought to ask for.<\/p>\n

4. The little differences in the life of Jabez made all the difference.<\/p>\n

5. God believes you can do bigger things and you need to believe it too. God works through you and He wants you to be surrounded in abundance. It all begins with prayer.<\/p>\n
