In the book of I Chronicles, we meet a man named “Pain.” That’s right. A man whose name means “pain.” That man is Jabez. Jabez had a number of shadows in his life: 1) His character was strong but his brothers were not so good. 2) He was a pain to his mom. 3) His future was not bright. 4) His father had bailed on the family. 5) He was poor. And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, KJV Even though the above passage represents only two verses in the entire Bible, I believe this prayer is significant. And I’m grateful for the Bible letting us know about that prayer and the man who offered it. The B.E.S.T. will help us remember it: B*less me “Oh, that you would bless me!” E*xpand my ministry “Enlarge my territory.” S*tay with me “Let your hand be with me.” T*ake evil away “Keep me from harm…” So now, we are going to see a few of the highlights: 1) Don’t pass on your pain: As difficult as the pregnancy and childbirth may have been for Jabez’s mother, she continued that cycle of pain by passing that pain onto her child. We must take care not to pass on our pain. Just because we’re hurting doesn’t give us the right to hurt others. 2) You can always pray to your Heavenly Father. God is a “father to the fatherless” (Psalm 68:5): Even though others (including our parents) may let us down, God is there. We can always pray to Him. 3) We can bring God our pain: He wants to hear from us, and He wants to help us. Never forget: God loves you. 4) We can ask God for blessings. We serve a God who enjoys blessing His children. 5) We need God to keep us out of trouble. Jabez asks God to keep him from evil. We’ve all seen how prominent Christian celebrities and leaders have fallen into sin and disgrace. It can happen to any of us. We need God. We need His protection. 6) It’s honorable to want to stop the pain. Hurting people often does hurt other people, but Jabez is considered “more honorable than his brothers” because he wanted the pain to stop with him. He didn’t want pain to define him anymore, nor did he want it to be a part of his legacy. Be honorable. Do your best not to spread pain. With love, Your Sister, Prophetess Azrael Divine

The Difference Between Judas and Peter Repentance is more than being sorry and wishing you could undo the past. Repentance is turning to Jesus! While Peter was standing outside the house of the high priest, someone identified him as a follower of Jesus. Peter must have been terrified that he would also be arrested and tortured. He denied Jesus three times, and then “he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, ‘I do not know the man’” (Mat. 26:74). Then Peter went out and wept bitterly. On the day that Jesus died, there were two men surrounded by darkness—Judas who betrayed Him, and Peter who denied Him. But there was a great difference between them. Judas was filled with remorse, while Peter was filled with repentance. Remorse looks inside and says, “I wasted my life.” Repentance looks to Christ and says, “I give You my life.” Judas was sorry, but he was not repentant. Repentance is more than being sorry. It is more than wishing you could go and undo what you did. Repentance is turning to Jesus Christ. “Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret” (2 Cor. 7:10). Peter repented, and two days later Jesus rose from the dead. He was reconciled with Jesus. Judas despaired, and he took his own life. He was only two days away from hope, but he never lived to see it. If you want to avoid a plunge to disaster, never give up hope. Maybe that’s your battle right now. You feel surrounded by darkness. You’re loaded down with failure and guilt. You cannot see any way out of the situation you’re in. Are you going to be like Peter or like Judas? They were two days away from the miracle of the resurrection. Two days! No matter how great the darkness, there is always hope in Jesus Christ. If you believe there is even a spark of hope for you, don’t panic. Ask God to help you do what Peter did. Your Sister, Prophetess Azrael Divine

Somebody asked me about my biggest testimony in my life So here's my answer: I was born completely dead and my body already turned grey. So my mom screamed and said "Lord I kept this child in my womb for straight 9 months and I'm not going to let win over this child because this is your child too". So she prayed and the doctors and nurses tried every move but the doctors started to backout but the head nurse said that she would live and I would make it. When all the hopes were gone my mother was still praying and that head nurse used the oxygen at it's maximum and my breath came and I screamed and my life came back and now here I'm standing as a minister of God. So let me know ask you, do you believe in resurrection? Your Sister Azrael Divine

Difference between wisdom and knowledge God wants us to have knowledge of Him and what He expects of us. In order to obey Him, we have to have knowledge of the commands. But as equally important as having knowledge is having wisdom. Knowing facts about God and the Bible is not all there is to wisdom. Wisdom is a gift from God. James 1:5 states, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” God blesses us with wisdom in order for us to glorify Him and use the knowledge we have of Him. The book of Proverbs is perhaps the best place in the Bible to learn of biblical wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 speaks of both biblical knowledge and wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, / but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” To fear the Lord is to start on the path to knowledge, and God can then begin to provide us with wisdom through Christ, who the Bible says is wisdom itself: “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30). Knowledge is what is gathered over time through study of the Scriptures. It can be said that wisdom, in turn, acts properly upon that knowledge. Wisdom is the fitting application of knowledge. Knowledge understands the light has turned red; wisdom applies the brakes. Knowledge sees the quicksand; wisdom walks around it. Knowledge memorizes the Ten Commandments; wisdom obeys them. Knowledge learns of God; wisdom loves Him. With love, Your sister Azrael Divine

What is the meaning of surrender? The act of surrender in a spiritual sense means putting aside our own desires and will, and wholly giving over to God’s direction. It’s not a gesture of defeat or resignation, but rather a powerful act of humility and trust in a plan that’s greater and more encompassing than our perception. Scripture is replete with tales of individuals who, despite the overwhelming odds against them, chose to surrender to God’s will. From the monumental faith of Abraham to the quiet strength of Mary, each account offers a unique insight into the rewards and challenges of surrendering to God’s divine plan. The Benefits of Surrendering Your Plans to God While the concept of surrender may bring unwelcome feelings of fear, the benefits are life-affirming. Surrender invites peace into our hearts, allows us to experience freedom from worry, and opens the door to unanticipated blessings. Far from being a sign of weakness, surrendering to God shows great faith and trust. God proves Himself faithful day after day, and His plans are always for our good. Accepting God’s plans with grace means constantly recommitting to having a mindset of thankfulness and willingness to adapt to the changes. It’s a state that brings joy, even in the face of uncertainty, reminding us of the boundless love God has for each of us. If you trust God’s character of love and kindness, you will find surrendering your plans easier each time God shows you a path different than the one you’re on. James 4:10: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” So, let God speak to your heart about humbly accepting His good plans and surrender yourself completely to Him.

What Does the New Testament Say About Tithing? We’ve established that the Old Testament had a lot of tithing and offering rules, but what does the New Testament say about tithing? After Jesus saved humanity from eternal death, He introduced a new perspective on tithing and offerings (John 3:16). Jesus endorses tithing – but expects His followers to exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees whom He encouraged to continue tithing (Matthew 23:23). Here are the key ideas of the principle of giving: 1. God owns everything, and His people are “money managers.” God continues to give everything they need, including money (1 Corinthians 10:26). In turn, they are to manage the money so His blessings and generosity are not wasted. Moreover, gaining money is only possible through Him, so Christians may show their gratitude by returning a portion to Him. 2. Giving to God is the best antidote for materialism. Money can’t buy happiness. Instead, happiness is gained by who a person has (God) rather than by what the person has gained (things). “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth… But to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” (1 Timothy 6:17) 3. Christians are to give to the church in proportion to God’s provision. Instead of asking, “How much is required?”, Christians are to ask, “How much can I give?” Tithing in the Old Testament established rules for proportionate giving. Today, anybody dedicated to Christ should be able to offer an appropriate portion of their wealth voluntarily to support the ongoing operations of their church. Is Tithing 10%? A tithe is a tenth, but it doesn’t have any intrinsic spiritual value. The tenth of the spoils Abraham gave could be interpreted as "top of the heap." It was the first and best Abraham had and he decided to give it. Paul makes it clear that generosity should be cheerful and voluntary (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). We should not allow the Old Covenant law of tithing to become a stumbling block to embracing the New Covenant's behavior of generosity. Some people may start at 1% and work their way from there. The point is breaking the curse of "love of money" through rearranging our priorities on building the Kingdom of God. When Did Tithing Start in the Church? Tithing started even before the Law was given to Moses, mostly as a voluntary return for how God helped His people overcome major challenges. We can see this in these two verses: Genesis 14:20: Abram “gave [God] a tenth of everything” to show his gratitude for defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings that allied with him. Genesis 28:18-22: Jacob promised God that, “of all that You give me, I will give You a tenth” in response to God’s blessing that the Covenant promises given to Abraham will now flow through him. When Did Tithing Become Money? In a way, tithing has always been about money. In Biblical times, the Israelites were asked to tithe their crops and livestock because they didn’t have the paper bills and checks of today. They were largely using a barter system, which means produce, flocks, and herds were their money. As the world was slowly introduced to the forms of money we now know, the tithing system also adjusted accordingly. In this way, the Old Testament requirement for giving 10% of crops and livestock is equivalent to 10% of income in today’s economy. Is Tithing Biblical? There are different opinions on this question. Some Christians believe that we are still held to the standard of tithing 10%; others believe that we are released from this law, but that we are still called to radical generosity. Regardless, Christians still believe that everything they have comes from God, so it’s only natural that they “tithe” a portion of their earnings in thanksgiving to the God they serve. Ultimately, the 10% tithe is only the beginning of what generosity could look like for the Church. With love, Your sister Azrael Divine
