There comes a time when enough is enough and you just want to get to the bottom of things and seek God for deliverance. Jabez was in that kind of a place where he was just tired of what was going on in his life, an identity that had nothing to do with him but his mother. He did not focus on blaming the mother, but he went straight to God who put him in the womb of his mother.

Palms 34:17 “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”

Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well.” There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way God created us in the womb. It’s after the creation that the enemy always attacks.

• Pray and ask God to break every power that has hindered you from manifesting the way you were created, wonderful, beautiful etc.

Psalm 142: 1-7 “I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.”

• Ask the Lord to restore the blessings that was yours from creation.

• Ask the Lord to enlarge your territory.

• Ask the Lord to be with you and protect you from harm.

• Ask the Lord to free you from any pain of distress of life.

Genesis 32: 24-28 “So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak. “But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”

It was not easy with Jacob, he wrestled (struggled) with the angel of the Lord for his deliverance. Jacob the deceiver was changed to Israel the nation; what a difference? All because he took matters into his hands; he had a family issue he was afraid of, the brother who was waiting to kill him. He was also fleeing from Laban his father in-law. Jacob came to the place where he could face his own fear. He wrestled with God for his freedom, he was not ready to quit the presence of God without a solution to his problem.

• Ask the angel of the Lord to visit and deliver you

Daniel 3:22-25 “The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

• Ask for the faith of these four boys to be your portion.

• Ask for the 4th man in the fire to arise and delivery you from any pit where the enemy may have held you.

Acts 16:25-26 “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.”

• Call for the earthquake of heaven to shake the foundations of the earth and release you from every demonic jail in the name of Jesus

Joel 2:32 “And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.”

• Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord has a chance to be delivered. Call on the Lord from Zion for him to rescue you.
