You are a saint.

You are a saint.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 Corinthians 1:2
to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place--both theirs and ours:

When you hear the word 'saint' people think it's only for those who lived a holy life, did many charitable works and made a lot of sacrifices.

This verse tells us, if you are in Christ, you are sanctified and you are called as a saint. You are a saint right now. The moment you got born again, the moment you came in Christ, you became a saint. The word 'saint' means 'set apart ones'. Set apart from sin. Set apart from the ways of the world. Set apart for God. Set apart for His call. Set apart to live holy and a life that pleases Him.

You are a saint - as holy, as righteous, as pure, as blamless and as clean as Jesus Himself. Every member in the body of Christ is a saint. Your faith in the works and blood of Jesus has made you a saint. Saints, what a great God we serve! Jesus is Lord! The best is yet to come!

"In Christ, I am sanctified and I am a saint. I know who I am. I am what God says I am. I am set apart for God. Hallelujah!"

Live Holy!

Live Holy!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Philippians 2:13
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Without holiness, no one will see the Lord or experience the manifestation of His goodness. Your sanctification is God's will.

Living holy simply means living a life that is seperate from the worldly ways and dedicated, devoted to God. Some say, it's impossible to live a holy life in this dark wicked world. If you try in your ability or will power, you will never be able to live a holy life. The presence of Christ in you makes you as holy as Jesus himself. Believer, you are holy and therefore you live holy. This revelation is the first step in living a holy life. Christ is your sanctification.

Abide in Him. Dwell on His word. Stay connected to the Vine. As you do it, the Holy Spirit will change your desires, He will create in you holy and godly desires and will give you the power to fulfill those desires. The key however is to stay connected! As you abide, He works. The moment you stop abiding, the work stops. What a great God we serve!  Hallelujah!

"Jesus is my Vine and I stay connected to Him. His life, His ability and His sufficiency flows in me and I live a holy life because I am as holy as Jesus.Christ is my sanctification."

Unlimited potential

Unlimited Potential

Philippians 3:20
But we are citizens of heaven, and it is from there that we expect a Deliverer, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

You are a citizen of heaven. Believer this is not a promise, it's new testament reality, a fact.

What limits Indians cannot limit you because you are a citizen of heaven. Don't live as a citizen of any earthly country, live as a heavenly citizen. You have unlimited potential - there is no limit to what you can achieve. Earthly citizens are limited, heavenly citizens are unlimited.

Do not limit yourself because citizens of heaven have no limits. Nothing is impossible for you. For one who comes from above is above all. Discover yourself! Know thyself! Be You! Live You! Born to Fly!

"I am a citizen of heaven. I have unlimited potential and I ever increasing with the increase of God. There is no limits to what I can achieve. I have no limits. Born to fly. Hallelujah! "

Unlimited possibilities

Unlimited possibilities

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

How many things? ALL THINGS. The moment Christ came in you and you came in Christ, you became a new being with endless possibilities.

Never say, I am unable to do the will of God. You are able, you are well able because Christ is your ability, Christ is your sufficiency and Christ is in you. You are well able to do God's word. You are well able to fulfill your God given calling, to live a holy life and to finish your course with joy. Never doubt! Only believe and walk on with Jesus!

"There are no impossibilities for me. I can do all things because Christ is my ability and my sufficiency. I always win and I only win. Jesus is my Lord"

Cheerful giver!

Cheerful giver!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

2 Corinthians 9:7
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”

God loves a cheerful giver, one who loves to give and gives joyously. Enjoy your giving! Rejoice that you get an opportunity to raise your income supernaturally! Hallelujah!

Giving to God is a privilege because you are not giving to someone who lacks something, you are giving to the One who owns everything. When I give based on God's word with a cheerful heart, knowing that God loves me and that my giving is for my benefit then things begin to change in my life and in my finances. When you lack word knowledge concerning giving, you complain, grumble and think people are trying to steal your money and therefore you hold tightly to your resources blocking your own prosperity. Shake off the fear and step out of the boat on the word of God. Refuse to be poor. No seed of Abraham should ever be poor or be in lack. Never.

A proper understanding of the character of Jesus, of His word and of His love for you will make you a cheerful giver. You will not only love to give but you will live to give. For the cheerful giver, the word says, God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work. Your seeds will be multiplied and the fruits of your righteousness will be increased. What a joy! What a blessing! What a privilege! Give like never before!

"I am a cheerful giver. I love to give and I live to give. I give based on God's word and out of love for Jesus. I live an all sufficient life for my God has made all grace abound towards me. Hallelujah!"

The power of meditation!

The power of meditation.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

Word meditation is vital in the life of a believer. Without meditation, there is no revelation and without revelation there is no transformation.

Lack of meditation results in dryness of life, flesh begings to dominate the spirit, worldly things become more pleasing and spiritual things lose interest. Always make yourself available for word meditation. Word meditation will enable you to be a consistent doer of God's word. Take a verse or a portion of Scripture and think on it. Write it down and ponder over it. Say those verses over and over again under your breath. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you insights and revelations from those verses. As you do, the word will become alive for you and will start talking to you. You will experience joy and freedom of the Holy Spirit. You will never be the same.

Meditation takes the word down into your spirit. Your spirit soaks and absorbs the word and becomes one with it. The word in your spirit and in your mouth will change any situation around. Lack of meditation keeps the word only in your head and it won't do you any good. Dwell on the word and let your success be seen by all. Glory!

"God's word is my delight and I meditate on it day and night. I am one with the word and it is changing my thoughts, my words and my actions. Everything I do prospers!"

Touch of gold.

Touch of gold.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 1:3
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

I am sure you might have heard this statement, 'Everything he touches turns to gold.' It talks about consistent and lasting success. Think about this, success in everything you do. What a life!

For some it's just a dream, for others it's next to impossible. Some conclude that it's only for a few lucky people. Believer, this is your life - a life flowing with unending success and prosperity in every step. Verse 3 is a result of verse 1 and verse 2. Psalms 1:1‭-‬2 says, 'Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night.' Because unending success is a result, therefore it's a choice.

Meditate on the word day and night. Think, ponder on it, reflect on it and study it day and night. Chew it day and night like a chewing gum. Let the word become your delight, your thrill, your happiness and your joy. Let the word become your first love and your top most priority. Everything a word man touches turns to gold. Hallelujah!

"God's word is my delight and I meditate on it day and night. My life is an unending stream of success and prosperity. Everything I touch turns out to be successful. Thank you Lord Jesus!"
