雅比斯的禱告, 生命突破的關鍵密碼—-歷代志上4:9[雅比斯比他眾弟兄更尊貴, 他母親給他起名叫雅比斯, 意思說：”我生他甚是痛苦.” 雅比斯求告以色列的神說：”甚願你賜福與我, 擴張我的境界, 常與我同在, 保佑我不遭患難, 不受艱苦.” 神就應允他的所求.］雅比斯的名字依希伯來文, 意思不是”痛苦”, 而應該是”不痛苦.” 也就是雅比斯禱告末尾所祈求的［不遭患難, 不受艱苦.］一位善良慈愛的母親不至於將自己的嬰兒取名”痛苦.” 由於雅比斯的母親[生他甚是痛苦］, 因此希望雅比斯免於痛苦. 偉大的母親寧可痛在娘身, 也不願難產所生的雅比斯再遭受任何痛苦. 猶太人非常重視為嬰兒取名, 都會反覆推敲, 嬰兒名字都會有良好的祝願. 通常不會為嬰兒取一個難堪的名字. 名字跟隨嬰兒一生. 也因為雅比斯的母親如此用心良苦的為難產所生的嬰兒取名, 因而雅比斯比他眾兄弟的發展更加尊貴. 名字是我們生命的密碼, 一石激起千重浪. 魏肯生Bruce Wiikingson所著的雅比斯禱告The Prayer of Jabez是本𣈱銷書. 作者魏肯生認為雅比斯的禱告就比摩西, 保羅, 以利亞, 及大衛的禱告更有力. 引發很大的爭論. 很多人認為摩西的禱告之所以有力, 是因為摩西花時間和上帝在一起, 上帝與摩西面對面說話, 出埃及記33章. 而大衛是上帝稱為合神心意之人, 使徒行傳14章. 保羅也是明自上帝心意的人, 新約聖經有13卷出自保羅之手, 保羅的禱告當然強而有力. 而以利亞的求雨禱告更是驚天動地. 相對的雅比斯的禱告, 四個祈求以我為中心, 是否自私？雅比斯的禱告最大的價值是成為耶穌主禱文, 馬太福音6:9-13的主要內容. 1. 雅比斯［甚願你賜福與我］即耶穌主禱文的[我在天上的父. 願人都尊你的名為聖, 願你的國降臨.] 雅比斯［擴張我的境界］即耶穌主禱文的［我們日用的飲食, 今日賜給我我們. 免我們的債, 如同我們免了別人的債.］3. 雅比斯［常與我同在］即耶穌主禱文的［願你的旨意行在地上, 如同行在天上.］4. 雅比斯［保佑我不遭患難, 不受艱苦］即耶穌主禱文的［不叫我們遇見試探, 救我們脫離凶惡.］耶穌深知雅比斯的禱告文, 耶穌的主禱文對雅比斯的禱告做出最佳的詮釋, 不僅強而有力, 更是神來之筆. 是所有禱告文的壓軸之作. 這也反映出耶穌對舊約律法融會貫通, 推陳出新的基本原則. 馬太福音5:17-19［莫想我來要廢掉律法和先知; 我來不是要廢掉, 乃是要成全. 我實告訴你們, 就是到天地都廢去了, 律法的一點一畫也不能廢去, 都要成全.]
Jabez’s prayer, the key to breakthrough in life – 1 Chronicles 4:9 [Jabez was more noble than all his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez, which means: “I gave birth to him very much.” Pain.” Jabez prayed to the God of Israel and said, “I wish that you would bless me, expand my territory, be with me always, and protect me from trouble and hardship.” God agreed to his request. .] According to Hebrew, the name of Jabez does not mean “pain”, but “no pain.” This is what Jabez prays for at the end of his prayer [no trouble, no hardship.] A kind man A loving mother would not name her baby “Pain.” Since Jabez’s mother [was in great pain to give birth to him], she hoped that Jabez would be spared pain. A great mother would rather suffer pain in her mother’s body than in pain. Jabez, who was born in dystocia, will not suffer any more pain. The Jews attach great importance to naming the baby, and they will think about it over and over again. The baby’s name will have good wishes. Usually, the baby will not be given an embarrassing name. The name will follow the baby throughout his life. Also because Jabez’s mother carefully named the baby born in difficult labor, so Jabez’s development was more noble than that of his brothers. Names are the password of our lives, and one stone stirs up thousands of waves. Weikensheng Bruce The Prayer of Jabez written by Wiikingson is a best-selling book. The author Wei Kenson believes that the prayer of Jabez is more powerful than the prayers of Moses, Paul, Elijah, and David. It has caused a lot of controversy Controversy. Many people believe that the reason Moses’ prayer was powerful was because Moses spent time with God, and God spoke to Moses face to face, Exodus 33. And David was called a man after God’s own heart, Acts of the Apostles Chapter 14. Paul was also a man who understood God’s will. Thirteen books of the New Testament were written by Paul. Paul’s prayers were certainly powerful. And Elijah’s prayer for rain was even more earth-shattering. In contrast, Jabez’s prayer , the four prayers are centered on me, is it selfish? The greatest value of Jabez’s prayer is that it becomes the Lord’s Prayer of Jesus, the main content of Matthew 6:9-13. 1. Jabez [I wish you would bless me] is the meaning of Jesus’ Lord’s Prayer [I am Father in heaven. Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come.] Jabez [Expand my kingdom] is the Lord’s Prayer of Jesus [Give me this day our daily bread. We are debtors as we have forgiven our debtors.] 3. Jabez [Abide with me] is the Lord’s Prayer of Jesus [Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.] 4. Jabez This [Keep me from trouble and from hardship] is the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer of Jesus [Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.] Jesus knew the prayer of Jabez well, and the Lord’s Prayer of Jesus was very important to Jabez. The best interpretation of the prayer is not only powerful, but also a stroke of genius. It is the finale of all prayers. This also reflects Jesus’ basic principle of integrating the Old Testament laws and innovating the new. Matthew 5:17 -19 [Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy it, but to fulfill it. Truly I say to you, even if heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one jot of the Law will be abolished. Go, everything will be fulfilled.]
