His mother named him Jabez because his birth had been so painful - 1 Chronicles 4:9
When we receive a vision for something specific, we are to pray equally specifically
Jabez was an honorable man whose name meant "pain"
Only recorded words was a well-known prayer - "Please be with me in all I do and keep me from all trouble and pain" - 1 Chronicles 4:10
God said yes to everything Jebez asked:
- God would bless him - went to the source of all good things
- God would expand his territory - wasn't afraid to ask things specifically
- God would be with him inall that he did - he knew was heading nowhere without God
- God would keep him from all trouble and pain - aka asked for a humble heart and for ability to do right
