Laws of Abundance - #3

Laws of Abundance - #3

Malachi 3:10
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there  will not be  room enough to  receive  it.

Giving of all tithes is the third law in the eight laws of abundance. You may be living in the poorest place on earth but if you apply these laws of abundance, you will experience financial abundance like never before. These heavenly laws will work in any place and will turn any desert into the garden of Eden.

Tithe is 10% of your income and it belongs to God. Irrespective of how much your income is, when you tithe, you are positioning yourself for increase. When you tithe, you acknowledge God as your Source and Sustainer. Tithe is acknowledgement. When you refuse to tithe, you are declaring independence from  God and independence is dangerous for a human being. We can see this in the life of Adam when He declared independence from God - He lost everything. Man was never designed to live independently of God. Tithe is a declaration of your total dependence on God. Leviticus 27.30 says, 'And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord ’s. It is holy to the Lord.'

Friend, in the Old Testament, Abraham gave His tithe to Melchizedek. In the New Testament, we, as the seed of Abraham give our tithes to our Melchizedek, Jesus Christ. Tithe is a response to the wonderful blessings of God and opens the doors for greater blessings. Do not rob God and let Him have access to your finances through your tithe. Have dominion in your finances. Your abundance is on its way!

"I don't rob God. I am a cheerful tither. When I tithe, I acknowledge God as my Source and Sustainer. I live under an open heaven with an abundant supply of blessings. Overflow always. Always abundance. Always more than enough."

Matthew 6.33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

The second law in the laws of abundance is having a kingdom mindset. There is no such thing as a law that doesn't work. Laws always work. If you operate by the eight laws of abundance, no one can stop you from living a life of abundance. Refuse to stay poor. Refuse to stay in scarcity, lack and financial struggle. Refuse to look at others. Look to Jesus!  Love people but only look to Jesus!

Kingdom mindset - Jesus said in Matthew 6.33, 'Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...' Notice the word first. That means before anyone else or anything else, put the kingdom first. Give the kingdom of God top priority in your life. It simply means putting God's house before your house. Give priority to His family, His house and His kingdom. When you put God's house first,  He will take care of your house. When you put His business first, He will take care of your business. Each one of us used to put ourselves first before anyone or anything else - thats how the world lives. This is why we could never enjoy abundance in our finances. Let's renew our minds and start giving more importance to God and His kingdom. In the book of Haggai, God gives His people the reason why they were not enjoying the goodness of God in their finances - because they neglected God's house and gave more importance to their own houses. Put God's house first! No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, put God and the things of God first, you will start experiencing abundance like never before.

Friend, put God first in your treasure. In your finances, put God first. In your time, put God first. In your energy, put God first. Matthew 6.33 says, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Don't try to earn all things - its a tough life. Don't struggle for these things instead let all things be added to you. Put God first and let abundance overtake you. Go on with Jesus!

"I am a citizen of the kingdom and my priority is the kingdom of God and His righteousness. All things are being added to me. I never lack. I am never in want. I never struggle. Always overflow. Always abundance. Always more than enough. Hallelujah."

Laws of Abundance - # 1

Laws of Abundance - # 1

III John 1:2
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Being prosperity minded is the number one law in the laws of abundance. Prosperity in all areas of your life is directly proportional to the prosperity of your mind. This verse says you prosper as your soul prospers.

Financial abundance is God's will for each and every child of His. Psalms 35.27 says, The Lord delights in the prosperity of His servants. John 15.7 says, My Father is glorified when you bear much fruit. II Corinthians  8.9 says, For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor so that we through His poverty might become rich. How do you become prosperity minded? By meditating on the word of God concerning prosperity. Through these verses develop an image of prosperity and build a prosperity stronghold in your mind. It's difficult to receive prosperity and enjoy it if you are not prosperity minded. Prosperity in all areas at all times in not man's idea. It is God's will for all of His children. Some fight it, some disagree with it and some even rebuke it. But those who receive it will enjoy it. Eradicate poverty, lack and scarcity from your thinking and let the word frame your thinking, let the word change the way you think and see things. You are a child of the Most High God and no child of God should ever be poor and needy. Never.

Friend, this world needs the church to be prosperous because only the body of Christ can replenish the world. God wants you to live and walk in abundance. Become prosperity minded. Become increase minded so you can receive the blessings of God and become a distributor of Gods wealth to this dying world. Expand the kingdom! Enjoy your life! Help the poor! Jesus is coming back!

"I live in supernatural prosperity every day of my life. I have a prosperous soul and I am prospering in everything I do. No lack. No scarcity. No shortage. Always overflow. Always abundance. Always more than enough. Hallelujah”

This is life!

This is life!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ecclesiastes 12:13
Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion: Fear God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.

What is life? How would you define and describe it? Some would say family. Some would say having lots of money. Others would say having peace. What would you say?

King Solomon, the wisest and the richest king that ever lived said, 'Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion: Fear God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.' This is life. It's the foundation of life. Nothing else matters! What a powerful and wonderful verse! To fear God simply means to respect the Lord and to give Him honour. It doesn't mean to be afraid of Him like you would be scared and afraid of a snake, it's means to reverence Him, to hold Him in high esteem. To fear the Lord means to love what He loves and to hate what He hates. To fear the Lord means to obey Him, to do whatever He says. Obedience is a result of the fear of the Lord. When it's all said and done, you stand before your Creator and you give Him an account of your life to Him. Every human will stand before the judgement seat of God.

Friend, the only thing that matters in life is to fear God and to keep His commandments. Let this become the motto of our lives. Life becomes beautiful when we know what life actually is. Life is a struggle when the purpose and objective of life is not known. When life is not understood, we run after worthless things only to realise that all of it was just a waste. Be wise and take the advice of King Solomon : Fear God and keep His commands for this is your life. Nothing else matters!

Faith & Words

Faith & Words
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Luke 17:6
So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Everything is possible for him who believes. Nothing is impossible for faith. When you got born again, the faith of God was deposited in your spirit. The God kind of faith that's in you moves mountains and overcomes the world.

It's one thing to have faith, it's another thing to use it. Child of God, use your faith! Faith will move any and every mountain and will overcome the world. Faith will get you what you want. Faith will take where you want to go. Faith will bring you out of any pit that's holding you. Faith is released by words. Faith is put to work by words. Unless you speak, faith won't be released. Unless you speak, faith won't work. Unless you speak, faith won't act. Speak God's word. Find out what God has said about your situation or any area that concerns you. Once you find those Scriptures, meditate on them and start speaking them. The spirit of faith believes in the heart and speaks with the mouth. Speak the word till you are convinced and once you are convinced, keep speaking it. Never stop speaking. Keep speaking the word. Keep talking. What you can't do, faith can do. What your family can't do, faith can do. Release your faith. Speak God's word.

Friend, your faith is released and put to work when you speak the word of God. Jesus spoke to the fig tree, His faith was released and the fig tree withered from the roots. Faith gives God access. When God shows up, everything changes. Speak God's word, Release God's faith and Give God access. Never give up! Everything is possible. Just believe and SPEAK!

Your garden!

Your garden!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Genesis 2:15
Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

Your garden is your calling. Your garden is the place you are supposed to be. Your garden is the work you are supposed to do.

God has prepared your garden even before you were ever born. Your birth is proof that your garden is ready. Your birth is proof that your place and your work is ready. You were not born to make a garden. You were born to discover your garden and get in it. God is the one who plants the garden. So only God can reveal to you where and what your garden is. As you give yourself to the word of God and to prayer, you will discover your garden. As you learn to walk with God and fellowship with Him, He will reveal to you the garden - your place and your work. The garden is the place to be. It's the place of supernatural protection, provision and satisfaction. The garden is the place you were designed to be. God knows your garden and accordingly He has designed you. No other work and no other place will satisfy. Do you know where and what your garden is? Your garden is hidden in the word and as your dwell on the word, the Holy Spirit will direct you and lead you into your garden.

Friend, you have a specific place and a specific work. The priority of our lives is to discover it through the word and prayer. Once you discover it, get in your garden and fulfill your calling with excellence. Refuse to be distracted. Choose to be focused. Keep your eyes on Jesus and finish your race with joy. Nothing else matters!

Christ the Healer!

Christ the Healer!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Exodus 15:26
and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord  who heals you.”

Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer is one of the names of our Lord. He's our Healer and Healing is in His name. Jesus is Jehovah Rapha! Elshaddai, Elohim, Jehovah Jireh and all the other names of God in the Old Testament is represented in one name, Jesus!

Jesus never made any person sick in His earthly ministry. In fact where ever He went He healed people because that's His name, He is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer. He desires to see you in good health, enjoying life to the fullest. Satan is the author of sickness and disease. Sickness is a curse and it comes from the devil himself. A child of God must never tolerate sickness. Jesus paid a huge price to redeem you from sickness and disease. On the cross, Jesus took every sickness and disease on himself and suffered it for you. He didn't leave out any sickness and disease. He took it all. He bore all of it and when He rose again on the third day He defeated every sickness, every disease and declared them powerless over those that are in Christ. He did all of these things so that we could walk in divine health. The sickness that's in your body has been defeated by Jesus. It has no legal right to be in your body. Rise up, use your authority in the name of Jesus and force the illegal resident to vacate your body. Colossians 1.27 says, ...Christ in you, the hope of glory. Christ the Healer lives in you. Think about this, Jehovah Rapha lives in you! The Healer himself lives in you! You are so powerful in Christ. The one who is in you is greater than the all the sicknesses and diseases of this world.

Friend, be conscious that Jesus is your Healer and that He lives in you. The Holy Spirit lives in you. Take some time and meditate on, Christ the Healer lives in me. As you believe and say this with thanksgiving, your faith will connect to the anointing that's in you and you will be completely healed. Faith is the connection! Be conscious of the price Jesus has paid for your health and healing. No more sickness! No more disease! Christ the Healer lives in me and I am healthy, healed and whole in the name of Jesus!
