EVERY AFRICAN SHARES THE SAME DESTINY WITH JABEZ

EVERY AFRICAN SHARES THE SAME DESTINY WITH JABEZ AND BEN-ONI and like Jabez we can change our circumstances for better in this dispensation of knowledge.

WHAT IS IN A NAME?

chess Jabez knew that every name has a significant historical or spiritual background or altar that backs up its meaning.
For example , most children born in the south –east during the Nigerian civil war bore the name ;Ojukwu the name of the Biafian Leader while those in the middle belt were called Gowon after the Nigerian leader.
Jabez knew that his name has a wrong meaning from the honour God planned for him, so he cried out to God for a change.

HE ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT EVERY NAME CARRIES AN ALTAR OF BLESSINGS OR CURSE.
Jabez realized that the name of a person personifies what you worship-Nweke –{son of a eke or python or son born on eke market day.}Nwosu, son of Osu or outcast.
Most people that bear “Ekpo” from a certain tribe are very unpredictable in character. This is because ,”ekpo” either means masquerade or ghost.

JABEZ READ FROM HISTORY BOOKS OF ANCESTORS THAT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR NAME AT OLD AGE. God changed the name of Abram{prince without a child to father of many nations[Father of many Nations}.God changed the name of Jacob from Jacob{cheat or supplanter to Israel{one that has power with God].

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NABAL DID NOT CHANGE HIS NAME-

1 Samuel 25:25

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him:…….. though from the tribe of the great warrior Caleb, Nabal was mean ,selfish and wicked. He despised David the anointed king of the people of Israel calling him a run-away servant.

1 Samuel 25:10

And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

NABAL DIED WITHOUT AN ISSUE OR A LEGACY. HE WAS CURSED IN DEATH.DIED OF HEART FAILURE OR CARDIAC ARREST.

1 Samuel 25:37

But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
