Jabez asked for some interesting things. He wanted to expand his influence, be free from evil, and walk in the blessing of God. As believers, we have access to those same blessings. As we are faithful to what God has called us to, we can expect promotion. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law and therefore we are granted access to the Blessing of Abraham (Galatians 3:13). And finally, God has given us access to his angels, and they are ministering spirits sent to protect us and to watch over us. We don’t have to make the same requests that Jabez made, as believers we can simply expect to walk in those blessings as we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all of those things will be added to us.
