FAITH CAPSULE: What one asks for is rooted in what one thinks 

Numbers 14: I-38

Matthew 7:7 informs all to be asking, seeking, and knocking.
What one is asking is rooted in thinking.
In your asking, plead before Him to separate whatever is not of Him that added to you (consciously or unconsciously) become separate from you permanently.
Jabez knew the need to ask from God, to call on God.
1 Chronicles 4:9-10 records, “Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.”
Do you know what is clouding your destiny, reducing you consciously or unconsciously?
Jabez knew to call for his name change, but do you know what needs to be changed for you to live life for the glory of God?
Jabez asked for change from God, SO GOD GRANTED HIM WHAT HE REQUESTED.
PRAYER
Ask for the hand of God to answer for you, to separate you permanently from forces reducing you, not to live at your divine assignment.
ASK:
Jabez asks for the hand of God to be with him. Ask that the hand of God that is not short shall continually be with you in all the days He has given you.
ASK:
Jabez asked for change from God, SO GOD GRANTED HIM WHAT HE REQUESTED.
Romans 2:11 states, “For there is no partiality with God.” 
Ask God, not partial, to grant you your request. 
Ask Him to enable you to increase, to enlarge you in all He has called you, for His glory.
ASKING AND THINKING
What are you thinking or asking consciously or unconsciously?
In life, what one asks is what one thinks.
God is God that hears what one asks at all times.
Ephesians 3:20 calls the attention of one who believes not to be ignorant. 
Ignorance makes destitute of a believer.
The Bible states, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20) 
The Israelites think and ask against God, and God hears them respond, sending Moses to them in Numbers 14:28, ” Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you.”
All negative confessions of the Israelites followed them to deny twenty years above to arrive at the promise of God.
All negative confessions of the Israelites followed them to deny twenty years above to arrive at the promise of God.
PRAYER
Ask God to enable you to make meditating on His word and communicating with Him day and night become your way of life. (Meditating/communicating will deny thinking or asking wrong before God.) 
ASK:
God reverses irreversible. Ask Him whatever you are thinking or asking that is not of God to become reversed so that you will not be a victim of what you think or ask.
