The story of your life is about to change positively, because that situation is not permanent. God is bigger than your problems and will do something about it, so let your heart not be troubled. Only believe in Him.
Jabez is a unique Bible character; he started out on a bad not, cause the day he was born he was named "
child of sorrow". Each time his mother called in the morning, she would say '
Sorrow! Come here.' One day, he got fed up being called "sorrow." He chose to change; and he cried out to God saying
'my mother calls me sorrow, but I want a change of name. My friends calls me sorrow, I want a change of name. I want You to bless me indeed; I also want You to enlarge my coast. I want you to lay Your Hand upon my life and I want You to keep evil away from me. I don't want to have anything to do with sorrow again!' The Bible records it that God granted his request.
Can you see a picture of your life in the life of Jabez? If you call upon God today, He will answer you. According to the Bible, even though Jabez was more honourable than others, his family bondage was his limitation. What was working for others could not work for him; and nothing was working for him because of the curse that was working against him.
Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 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.
1 Chronicles 4: 9 - 10 (NIV)
Many are victims of hereditary curses, such as sicknesses and diseases, marital spells - where grown up adults cannot get married and settle down. While some who are married cannot have children.
There are families where divorce and separation has become the order of the day; as the couples are constantly fighting each other, and there's nothing to make them feel happy and enjoy their marriage. In some families, everyone lives below average - where no one can become great. Many have gone to school, received great certificates yet no jobs; for them it's always a case of near-success syndrome. Then, there are curses responsible for premature death in a family lineage, a case where everyone in the family dies at a tender age.

It is the day you decide that you won't suffer again that your suffering comes to an end. If Jabez could receive his deliverance, then you too will break out and your story will change in Jesus name.
Amen!
