The Prayer of Jabez: A Kingdom-Oriented Theology of Wealth, Liberation, and Stewardship

Image
This seven-day blog series takes an exegetical and theological deep dive into the Prayer of Jabez, moving beyond the distortions of prosperity theology and into a Kingdom-oriented vision for wealth, expansion, and stewardship. Each day features a textual reflection, spiritual application, and recommended action steps. Day 1: The Prayer of Jabez — More Than a Selfish Request "Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, ‘Because I bore him in pain.’ Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, ‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!’ And God granted what he asked."
