Entire Family Of Nobodies, But God Changed Their story
An entire family of nobodies, but God changed their story. The account of that story is what many would desire to happen to them, especially seeing what is happening in the country today.
The children have been on holiday and would soon be resuming, but fillers from different quarters show many parents anxious, having not been able to provide all those things, including school fees that the children would take to school.
In fact, some have a history of poverty, such that runs in the family.
The story you are about to read is that of a man in a similar situation: who an entire family of nobodies, but God changed their story, as shared by Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), which he has titled: God Will Change Your Story”
“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 4:10 KJV).

The scriptures gave the account of a man called Jabez from the tribe of Judah. His entire family members were nobodies.
They were not honourable but stranded people. Nothing good came from that family. Even his name was called “sorrowful”.
But I perceive that he learned this was not God’s plan for his life. So, Jabez changed the rule. He said: “Lord, I don’t want to end like my brethren.
Bless me, indeed! I don’t want an ordinary blessing. For too long,
I have not been able to speak for myself, but when you are ready to bless me, bless me with the blessing that will speak for me. Enlarge my coast, lengthen my cords, and preserve me from evil.”
Then God answered him. Thus, Entire Family Of Nobodies, But God Changed Their story!
That same God will answer you. He will change your story. Just like Jabez, you, too, will testify to the glory of God…
