You are a child of God!

You are a child of God!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

Believer, you are a child of God. The moment you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, something extraordinary and miraculous happened. Something changed. Something beautiful took place. You became a child of the Most High God. To Jesus be all the glory!

This verse is not a promise, its a fact. The word of God is a mirror, it shows you who you actually are. The more you look into the mirror of God's word, the more you will discover yourself and once you know who you actually are, life becomes victorious. You are as much a child of God as Jesus is. This is why Jesus came, He came to bring many sons to glory. II Corinthians 5.17 says, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he  is  a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. You are no more a slave of God, you are His beloved and precious child. The revelation of this fact enables us to be bold in our fellowship with the Father. It enables us to be bold in our battles with Satan and his forces. It enables us to be bold in the presence of man. You become absolutely fearless because you know who you are!

Friend, be conscious that you are a child of God. God Almighty is your Father and He loves you as much as He loves Jesus. You are a child of God. Think accordingly. Speak accordingly. See accordingly. Live accordingly. Make decisions accordingly. Manifest yourself and let the world see Jesus in and through you. This is your time! Go on with Jesus! Nothing else matters!

Become an Intercessor!

Become an Intercessor!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ezekiel 22:30
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

Intercession means to stand in the gap and pray for the salvation of the people of this world. Your intercession can bring people to Christ and thereby save them from the coming judgement and the day of wrath. Become an intercessor!

Intercession is the very heart of God for God desires all men to be saved. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is why we intercede for the lost and unsaved so that their eyes would be opened and they would turn to Jesus and escape the day of wrath. Acts 4.12 says, Salvation is found only in the name of Jesus for there is no other name given under heaven whereby mankind can be saved. Revelation 20:15 says, And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. The only entrance to the Book of Life is by faith in Jesus Christ because Jesus died for the sins of humanity, was buried and rose again on the third day perfectly justified. Anyone who believes in Jesus escapes the judgement, wrath and condemnation of God because Jesus took it all and paid for it all with His own blood. Pray for your family members, your friends, your relatives, your loved ones and stand in the gap for them and snatch them from the fires of hell. Selfishness refuses to intercede. Love intercedes! Compassion intercedes! Mercy intercedes! Write down the names of your unsaved loved ones and start praying for them diligently to be saved. Through you prayers, demonic powers will be bound, labourers will be released, souls will be saved and Jesus will be glorified. Stand in the gap and save people from the eternal and horrible fires of hell. Start today! Intercession is powerful.

Friend, every believer is called to intercede. Why don't you enroll yourself as an intercessor in the kingdom of God? Standing in the gap and praying for the lost is big in the eyes of God. We must save as many as we can from the fires of hell. Stand in the gap! Remember who you are! You are the salt of the earth! Preserve and add value! Become an intercessor!

Laws of Abundance - #8

Laws of Abundance - #8
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

The eight law - Forgive, walk in love. This law is the final law in the laws of abundance. No matter where you live or how insignificant your job or salary is, these laws if applied will guarantee abundance in your finances and you will become a channel of God's blessing to many generations. Distribution centres for the glory of God.

All of these eight laws of abundance work by faith. Everything in the kingdom of God works by faith and faith works by love. No love, No faith. No faith, No results. I Corinthians 13:13 says, And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. If we are to walk and enjoy abundance in our finances, walking in love is a must. Jesus commanded us in John 13. 34, 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.' Unless we forgive others, faith won't work. Unforgiveness, grudge, bitterness and envy blocks your faith and makes it unfruitful. These are faith blockers and it's very dangerous because faith is the only connection to God. So, make a quality decision to walk in love and permit your faith to express itself fully and powerfully. God loves me and that's why I love others. When you know how much God loves you and how much He has forgiven you, loving and forgiving others becomes easy. Walking in love is a response to Gods love for you. The level of your love walk depends on the level of your revelation of God's love for you.

Friend, the love of God has been poured out into your hearts by the Holy Spirit and therefore you can walk in love everyday of your life and you can forgive anyone. Make growing in the revelation of God's love and walking in love the number one priority of your life. Love never fails! Abundance awaits you. He who walks in love abides in God and God abides in him for God is love. Satan and His entire family cannot touch love. Love is the key! Go on with Jesus!

"I walk in the revelation of God's love and I love people passionately. I forgive and I live above offence. My faith works effectively and therefore I keep moving higher and higher in my finances by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Laws of Abundance - #7

Laws of Abundance - #7
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Matthew 16:19
"And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

The seventh principle in the laws of abundance is taking authority in the name of Jesus. Jesus has given us keys of the kingdom, which means He has given us authority. This authority is in the name of Jesus and the day you got born again, you have the right to use the name of Jesus!

In His name, we bind demonic forces who hinder the manifestations of our harvest. Just like Satan and His forces tried to stop the answers to Daniels prayer, these forces cause much hindrance in the manifestations of answers. However, we have something that Daniel didn't have, we have authority over these demonic forces in the name of Jesus because Jesus has defeated them. In His name, we bind demonic forces and at the same time, we loose our angels to bring our harvest, our hundred fold to us. Hebrews 1.14 says, 'Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?' Angels are sent to serve us. Put your angels to work by giving faith voice to God's word. You are so powerful in Christ. Use your authority in the name of Jesus! Every believer has the right to use the name of Jesus and bind demonic forces and release angelic forces to work on their behalf.

Friend, be conscious that you have authority over demons and angels. If you are ignorant of these things, you will never enjoy the abundance that God has for you. Bind demonic powers in the name of Jesus. Loose angelic forces in the name of Jesus. " Satan, in the name of Jesus, I command you, take your hands away from my harvest now. Ministering spirits,  my angels, I release you in the name of Jesus,  Go, get my harvest, my hundredfold. Thank you Father for my harvest in Jesus name, Amen"

Laws of Abundance - #6

Laws of Abundance - #6
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Giving is not man's idea. It is God who commanded us to give. We give because His word says so. Our givings are based on His word. When we give, we are to expect our harvest. This is the sixth law in the eight laws of abundance - Expect your harvest.

Many of us have been told to give but not expect anything back. That sounds cute but it's not in the word. If you don't expect your harvest from God, then probably you will never reap it. We do what God tells us to do and we expect God to do what He said He would do. Luke 6.38 says, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." When you give according to this verse, you are to expect that it shall be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over it shall come into your bosom. Now we are not looking at or expecting from people. We didn't give based on what people said, we gave based on what the word of God said. Therefore our expectations is from God alone. Hallelujah. We look to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus alone. When you tithe or sow seeds, take your tithe and seed scriptures and start expecting with praise and thanskgiving. Never stop expecting because God's word is God's integrity.

Friend, expectation is a vital key in reaping your harvest. Many have missed their harvest because they never had any expectations. The reason God tells us to give is so He can invade our finances and bless us beyond our capacity to comprehend it. Expect! Expect! Expect!

"I believe I receive my harvest, I believe I receive my hundred fold, I believe I receive open heavens upon my life and my finances in the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Glory to God."

Laws of Abundance - #5

Laws of Abundance - #5
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Malachi 3:13‭-‬14
“Your words have been harsh against Me,” Says the Lord , “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is  it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the Lord of hosts?

The fifth law in the eight laws of abundance is having a prosperous mouth. Proverbs 18:20 says, A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Increase is a result of your mouth. Increase begins with mouth. Your words are extremely powerful!

In these verses, God is talking about people who tithe and sow seeds but their words are not in line with the word of God. Speaking negatively and against the word of God hinders your prosperity and keeps you in scarcity all your life. Rise up! Change your words! Move up! It's very important for us to do what God wants us to do and at the same time to say what God says. Your words are your limit. Your words are your ceiling. You will never go where your words don't go. You will only go where your words go. Your words are the steering and the rudder of your life. Speak increase, speak prosperity, speak life and speak glory. Refuse to talk poverty, scarcity, lack and insufficiency. Speak about the sufficiency of God in Christ because the Lord supplies all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Proverbs 18. 21 says, Life and death is in the power of the tongue, those who love it will eat it's fruit. Choose to speak in line with the word of God. Refuse to speak what you see or what your five senses tell you. Speak the word at all times and in all areas. Find out scriptures that talk about prosperity, increase and sufficiency and keep confessing them over your life. Keep speaking, don't stop talking!

Jesus said, you will have what you say. Your words have creative ability. Speak wisely. Speak healthy. Speak wealthy. Speak life. Your words carry immense power. Unleash the power and let your words carry you into the abundance that God has for you. Your abundance is on it's way! Go on with Jesus!

"My words are not harsh against God. My words are in line with the word of God. I live in abundance. I live in overflow. I live in the more than enough zone. The Lord is my Shepherd, my Vine, therefore I never lack. My God has made all grace abound towards me that I always having all sufficiency in all things abound in every good work. Hallelujah."

Laws of Abundance - #4

Laws of Abundance - #4
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

II Corinthians 9:6
But this I  say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Sowing seeds is the fourth principle in the laws of abundance. Genesis 8.22 says “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer and day and night shall not cease.”

The kingdom of God operates by sowing and reaping while the world system operates by buying and selling. Through the kingdom system, five loaves and two fishes can feed more than five thousand people. Let's live by the kingdom system. Whatever you give over and above your tithe is your seed. Whenever you have a need, sow a seed. Sowing seeds is the kingdom way of meeting all your needs. This world is in a financial mess experiencing economic turmoil like never before and the only way you can escape the wicked, unjust and selfish schemes of men is by operating in the laws of the heavenly kingdom. Be a consistent sower. Find a good and fertile ground, seek the Lord concerning anointed ministries that are genuinely working for the expansion of the kingdom and get involved with them and start sowing and investing your seeds faithfully into their vision and work. Jesus said in Mark 10. 29, 30 Whoever sows in the kingdom for His sake and the gospels will receive a hundred fold in this age. Glory to God! As you sow in faith, the Lord will multiply your seeds sown and He will increase the fruits of your righteousness. II Corinthians 9:10 says, ‘Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.’

Friend, always direct your seed towards a specific harvest. Your harvest can be a house, job, spouse, promotion or for your ministry or business or education or a hundred fold return, whatever it may be, if you don't give up you will reap your harvest. Find and stand on scriptures that promise your harvest and take faith step towards the harvest by consistently sowing seeds. Your harvest in on its way! Keep sowing, Keep reaping!

"I am a sower. As I sow seeds in the work of the Lord, I believe the Lord multiplies my seeds and increases the fruits of my righteousness. I receive my hundred fold harvest. Always overflow. Always abundance
Always more than enough."
