Jabez, Pushed by Pain into His Destiny

By Lily Chestnut

The Jabez story is compelling and has been preached, taught, and written about numerous times. Yet, the focus is primarily on Jabez’s prayer, but what about his mother and father?

Jabez, a victim of circumstances, refused to remain so but found the secret that allowed him to transform his pain into a driving force that propelled him into his victorious destiny. Learn from Jabez’s example, and you too can rechannel your pain and rip off any negative labels attached to your life by tapping into God’s power and becoming a more self-confident and happier you.

Lily Chestnut

Pastor Lily Chestnut is a Native New Yorker, retired middle school teacher, entrepreneur, and author. She is also the pastor of New Direction Prayer and Praise Outreach Ministries, an online church with a daily Intercessory Prayer Line. She is not a professional comedian, but she occasionally does mini skits for fun and birthdays. Pastor Lily has created a character called “Lucille,” and many of her friends and family look forward to Lucille’s appearances. Her passion is to encourage and uplift anyone who needs to be reminded of God’s great love, grace and mercy; and that He has the answer to every problem or situation they may encounter. Pastor Chestnut firmly believes in the power of prayer and teaches that it is the vehicle that can help lead to positive change in the lives of all who desire it.
