WARFARE DAILY DEVOTION

WEDNESDAY 15TH OF 2025

THEME: HIDDEN PAIN 3

SCRIPTURE READING PSALM 34:15-22

🔑 KEY VERSE: There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. Ecclesiastes 9:14-15 

Friend, the Bible says: 

This poor man was the only wise man found in that city and by his wisdom he was able to deliver the city from the great king that come against the city, yet no man remembered that same poor man. 

Do you know the pain to be educated and still be poor, when you look at your certificate, your knowledge and your creativity, you ask yourself why poverty? 

People comes to you for counseling and get their breakthroughs yet you are still in poverty with all your wisdom, it's painful.

No matter the name and the title you have, if you are a financial failure, you are a savants to those who are financially successful because you will always look up to them for financial help 

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. Eccl 9:16

Hear this: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard, how can the wisdom that delivered a city be despised? Just because it's came from a poor man, do you think that man was a happy man?

He became a nobody in a city where he supposed to be better than everybody, do you know the pain in the heart of this man, all because he was a poor man, his efforts were not appreciated.

How do feel when the lady you been dating for over five years, you are planning towards getting married, all of sudden a rich man came up, not educated as you are, not handsome as you are but because of his money your woman left you for him, you can still dress well, laugh and smile with people but your heart is broken, that is pain of poverty

 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow 1 Chr 4:9 

Jabez was regarded as an honorable man, he was highly respected among his brethren but to Jabez himself, he was in pain of what is the use is a title when you have nothing to shown, you lived in a rented house you are not able to pay the bill, your children are dropping out of School because you can't pay their School fees and you are answering Dr, answering proff, answering Bishop, people every where are celebrating you but you return back to your house, your children are at home in need of school fees, your Land Lord is waiting for you to pay your rent and you don't have dine, it's heart broken, this was the case of Jabez and it's also the case of many today 

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 Chr 4:10

You could feel the pain in Jabez's prayers: that it may not grieve me! Jabez was living with griev but nobody knows, he alone was suffering it.

Jabez came face to face with reality: Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed: it's time you face the reality of poverty in your life and and deal with it, you cant pretend that all is well when you know that all is not well

Jabez called on the God of Israel, the Bible says: God granted him that which he requested

What are Jabez request: 

1. Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed

2. Enlarge my coast, 

3. That thine hand might be with me,

4. That thou wouldest keep me from evil, 

If you look at the four request of Jabez, you see a man confronting the pain of poverty through prayer and the good Lord answered him and turns things around for him, you are the next on the line if you are ready to deal with the pain of poverty in your life.
