1 Chronicles 4:10 (KJV)
“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.”

Jentezen Franklin serves as the senior pastor of Free Chapel, and his ministry extends globally through his televised broadcast, Kingdom Connection, which reaches millions around the world.
Very early in his walk with God, he discovered the power and necessity of fasting and prayer. From his teenage years this deeply marked his spiritual life.
As a young evangelist, Jentezen often traveled with his brother, who also preached. They rotated preaching nights, and on the evenings when one was not preaching, he would dedicate the entire day to fasting and praying for the other. This rhythm of sacrifice, intercession, and spiritual discipline became a spiritual engine behind their ministry.
Through their consistent engagement in prayer and fasting, doors began to open beyond their expectations. What started in obscurity gradually shifted into global visibility and expanding influence. Today, Jentezen Franklin’s broadcast reaches over 2.3 billion potential viewers worldwide, a powerful testimony of what sustained spiritual devotion can produce.
Prayer is a divine trigger for destiny transformation and territorial expansion. In Scripture, Jabez stands as a timeless example of how prayer can rewrite a life’s narrative. His name meant sorrow, pain, and trouble, yet he refused to accept that label as his destiny. Instead, he cried out to the God of Israel, asking for blessing, enlargement, divine covering, and protection. The Bible records simply yet powerfully: “And God granted him what he requested.”
Jabez teaches us that prayer is not mere religious activity; it is a spiritual force that provokes divine response and releases supernatural increase. When we dare to call on God with faith, sincerity, and persistence, limits begin to shift and possibilities expand.
Having deliberately positioned ourselves in fasting and prayer at the beginning of this year, we can confidently expect divine enlargement — expanded capacity, increased influence, new opportunities, accelerated breakthroughs, and supernatural favor. Just as Jabez experienced a reversal of limitation, God is rewriting our stories and enlarging our spiritual and practical territories.
God has promised that when we call upon Him, He will show us great and mighty things. Therefore, as we praise Him heartily today, let us remain expectant for the manifestation of divine expansions and enlargement in our lives this year.
PRAYER
Lord, I thank You that You have heard my prayers in this season. I receive divine enlargement, open doors, supernatural ideas, and unstoppable breakthroughs. Let Your hand rest upon me as You expand my capacity, influence, and impact this year, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
