Adrian Rogers Sermon Archive C. The Protection of Jabez’s Prayer
Mike Kolen, who played linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, told me, “When I graduated from Auburn University, Coach Shug Jordan said to me, ‘Mike, will you do some scouting for me?’ ” He said, “Sure, Coach.”
Now, ladies, scouting means to find high school players that know how to play football.
He said, “Sure, Coach.
What kind of a man do you need?”
He said, “Well, Mike, you know, there’s a guy: You knock him down, and he just stays there.”
Mike said, “We don’t want him, do we, Coach?”
He said, “No sir.”
But he said, “Mike, there’s a guy: You knock him down, and then he gets up, and then you knock him down, and he stays there.”
Mike said, “Well, I don’t think we want him either, do we, Coach?”
He said, “No sir.”
But he said, “Mike, there’s a kind of guy: You knock him down, he gets up; you knock him down, he gets up; you knock him down, he gets up; you knock him down, he gets up.”
Mike said, “Boy, that’s the one we want, isn’t it, Coach?”
He said, “No sir, we don’t want him, either.”
He said, “I want you to find that guy that’s knocking everybody down; that’s the guy I want.”

This guy who is knocking everybody down is the special one out of all these other guys.
What made him special?
He got good at something and then just kept doing it!
I want to talk about another great guy tonight that was special for one reason!
He loved the Lord.
Out of over 500 names, he is the only one who ended up with his own 2 verses.
The Prayer of Jabez - Book by Bruce Wilkinson
talks about 500 people and then Jabez
Formula for Greatness
1 Chronicles
Jabez listed with more than 500 other names
*Scan all the scriptures with all the names and then stop on Jabez
Wait a MINUTE!
This guy’s more than a Name for YOU! Pay attention!
Why is Jabez pointed out!
If He a favorite of God?
3 Things to notice about Jabez
Jabez’s Desire - He wants to be GREAT for God
Jabez wanted a KING SIZE Blessing
Enlarge my territory!
Make it BIG GOD!!!
He was GRATEFUL, But He wanted to do more for GOD.
He wanted BIGGER Opportunities.
He wanted to be stretched!
Now you said this morning not to over do it, not to overload yourself and tonight you are telling us to ask God to Stretch Us!
That’s Right!
Stretch you is different than overloading yourself with activities.
Now, what again is it that Jabez is wanting to be GREAT for?
If it for Himself or for God?
God does not judge a man by how many servants he has, but by how many men he serves.
Paul Seeks Greatness
Philippians
We are so talented and blessed with tremendous abilities.
Are we using those for the Lord?
Are you using those for the Lord?
What is it you can do to be Great for God?
Who am I? Who was Jabez?
He grew up under the title PAIN! Suffering and Pain is the way Jabez was introduced to the world.
Jabez’s Declaration - His Prayer - Out of everyone listed, Jabez is the only one praying.
He prayed specifically!
He prayed with Purpose - I want more blessing - Stretch me - Bigger you are, More God can fill
, ,
He prayed with Power - He asked for God’s hand to be on him
He prayed with Protection - Keep me from Evil - We fail when we stop praying
