His label. His reputation. And instead of accepting it, he prayed one bold prayer: “Bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory.”This sermon confronts the quiet compromise many believers live with:- Settling in marriage- Settling in finances- Settling in calling- Settling in identity- Settling in mental and emotional battlesWhy do Christians live with less than God's best?Sometimes it's familiarity. Sometimes it's a warped view of ourselves. Sometimes it's laziness. But the answer is the same: recognize it, cry out to God, and contend for more.You are not just a church member. You are not just a disciple. You are a child of the Most High God.Stop settling. Start contending.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Journey of Contention03:38 The Importance of Not Settling06:44 Understanding God's Best for Our Lives09:36 Recognizing Familiarity and Its Impact13:12 The Role of Self-Worth in Contention16:27 Overcoming Laziness in Spiritual Growth19:29 Lessons from Jabez: A Model of Contention22:19 The Power of Prayer and Personal Responsibility25:31 God's Response to Our Contention30:30 Conclusion: Embracing God's BestShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

In part four of Act Like Men, Pastor Chris reframed what strength really is. Through the story of Jabez, we saw a man who refused to let pain define him and instead built his life on blessing, presence, and protection through prayer. Because strength isn't proven in what you can lift — it's revealed in what you rely on.

Pastor Jabin Chavez opened up night one of Revival preaching on the prayer of Jabez, calling the church to “Reverse the Curse” by becoming people of consistent prayer. Prayer is what sets you apart, breaks limitations, and invites God's blessing and favor over your life. He emphasized that through prayer, God not only blesses you, but also frees you from labels, past pain, and generational cycles so you can walk in your true identity and pass down faith, freedom, and blessing to the next generation.

Vision Sunday 2026 is a powerful look at where God is leading GO Church and how we can be part of His greater mission. Drawing from the Prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10, Pastor JC challenges us to pray boldly for God’s blessing, expanded influence, guiding presence, and divine protection—not for our comfort, but so we can bless our city and the nations. In this message, we celebrate what God has done, share the vision for the next five years, and unpack our mission to gather together, grow in Christ, and go make a difference. Vision gives us the ability to see clearly and run with purpose—and this is an invitation to step into what God is building next.

At the conclusion of a week of fasting and prayer Pastor Cerena walks through the Prayer of Jabez and guides us as we pray along.
When life gets heavy, when decisions get hard, when stress piles up—prayer often becomes our last resort instead of our first response.We pray after we worry.We pray after we try to fix it ourselves.We pray when we're already exhausted.But prayer shouldn't be our last resort when everything falls apart; it should be our first response before anything else begins.What if this year was different?What if, before the pressure… before the panic… before the plans… we prayed first?This series is about learning how prayer can become the foundation of our everyday lives—not just something we do in emergencies, but something that shapes our decisions, our relationships, our peace, and our trust in God.If you're walking into the new year with questions…If you're carrying stress, fear, or uncertainty…If you're asking God for direction, healing, or clarity…This series is for you.
In Part 2 of our Pray First series, Pastor Alvin walks through the Prayer of Jabez and shows how bold, faith-filled prayer positions us to live beyond our past, our shame, and our self-sufficiency. Jabez's life began with pain, but his prayer pointed toward blessing, influence, and purpose. This message challenges us to trust God's heart, ask for His blessing without fear, depend on His presence, and walk in His protection. Because when we pray first, we stop leaning on ourselves and start living as people called to make an eternal difference. Prayer isn't passive. It's how we align our lives with a God who is more than enough.

Join us as we continue our "Teach Us to Pray" sermon series as we focus on the "Prayer of Jabez" and its meaning for our lives today.
A simple prayer can reset a life and reframe a nation's direction, and that's where we begin—asking for blessing as stewardship, God's hand as guidance, and protection from evil that harms neither us nor our neighbors. From there, we press into a stark historical reading from Pope Pius XI that unmasks how destructive ideologies often arrive dressed as peace and charity, and why prayer and penance remain powerful, practical tools for discernment. This is not nostalgia; it's a call to see clearly and live honestly.We move through the poetry of Song of Songs, where love stands as strong as death and refuses to be bought, and into Matthew 16, where Jesus asks the most searching question: “Who do you say I am?” Peter's confession, the promise that the gates of hell will not prevail, and the hard turn toward the cross challenge our appetite for comfort over obedience. The Transfiguration confirms the path—glory is real, but it comes through listening and trust. Along the way, the Psalms lift our eyes to God's strength and unfailing love, while Proverbs warns how flattering lies steer hearts toward ruin. Together they form a pattern for a resilient spiritual life: pray boldly, guard your heart, embrace sacrifice, and speak with wisdom.We also honor Chief Gunner's Mate George F. Brady, a Medal of Honor sailor whose grit under fire saved his ship. His story reminds us that character—quiet, costly, steady—builds the kind of culture we say we want. If you care about faith that thinks, history that warns, and courage that acts, you'll find practical encouragement here and a few anchors for the week ahead.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.

What if 2026 isn’t about playing it safe… What if it’s about expansion? On this powerful episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black introduces The Jabez Way—a bold, faith-driven challenge to step out of comfort, stop shrinking your calling, and start living with greater responsibility, courage, and impact . Drawing from 1 Chronicles 4:10, Mr. Black breaks down the Prayer of Jabez—not as a feel-good verse, but as a dangerous prayer for leaders who are ready for more. More influence. More territory. More accountability. More of God’s hand on their life. This episode connects biblical truth, leadership psychology, and neuroscience to ask a confronting question: Are you asking God to bless you… or are you prepared to steward the blessing? You’ll hear: Why leadership is always about people, not positions How uniqueness is not a flaw—but the key to your effectiveness Why identity-level change is the only change that lasts How expansion always comes with responsibility Why pain can make you bitter… or better (just one letter apart) Mr. Black also delivers The Jabez Declaration for 2026—a bold, prophetic affirmation for those ready to think bigger, believe deeper, and walk into new territory without apology. If you’ve felt stretched, restless, or stirred for more… If you know you weren’t created for small thinking or safe living… If you’re ready to move from Bitter to Better… This episode is for you. Enjoy today’s Inspiration, Education, and Application on Like It Matters Radio—because when you expand your thinking, you expand your life… and when you live like it matters—it does.

Send me a Text Message!In his book "The Prayer of Jabez" Bruce Wilkinson writes, "To bless in the Biblical sense means to ask for or to impart supernatural favor. When we ask for God's Blessing, we're not asking for more of what we could get for ourselves. We're crying out for the wonderful, unlimited goodness that only God has the power to give us." I think the problem is that somewhere along the way, we quit believing that God's blessing matters, or maybe we quit believing that God really wants to bless us. But let me tell you God's all-in on your blessing!
In this powerful installment of the Miracle on Your Street series, Ps Colin unpacks "The Gift of a Scaled Life," revealing how the Prayer of Jabez unlocks God's desire to expand your territory and turn your deficits into abundance. Discover how surrendering your capacity, service, and expectations to the Father can transform the pressure of growth into a limitless life that overflows to everyone around you.
Though the name is relatively unknown, and his prayer is relatively short, the prayer of Jabez is a classic. From this short prayer we can create a prayer list that will enable us to talk to God about some things that really matter in our lives.
Prosperity preachers twist the prayer of Jabez as a template for getting whatever we desire from God. Yet the true lesson of this Old Testament prayer is far more profound.
