Mathew's Nuggets

Dear Friends...

From the Oven of Shyju Mathew :) a Brother I
deeply admire and respect..Read it for yourself
and please subscribe to his blog.

God Bless you all !

Howdie there Good Peepal ? ;)

God has made us all unique ..just like everyone
else !! (smile).

See our lives are not like a ship lost in the ocean.
Yet many of our lives do reflect it .. tossed among
the waves ..

We are created beings. That means the Creator must
have had a purpose in Creating ?

Your life has a purpose. You were created by God. You
didn't evolve. You were designed for a purpose. God has
given you a dream for your life.

You need to find out God;s will for your life.Then you
need to be moving in the direction of God's given dreams.
You may not have arrived , but you should have left.

There are steps for stepping into God's perfect will for
your life.

YOU CANNOT FULFILL GOD'S WILL ACCIDENTALLY.

We are living at this present time for a very decisive
PURPOSE.

You are afraid of launching out into the Ocean.. My question
is what are you afraid of losing ?

Ephesians 5 :17 :- not be unwise any longer , but understand what
the will of God is .

and finally God sends His supplies and resources to where He told
you to go , NOT where you are right now !

(Exposition on Luke 5 by Bro Blessan)


Huge crowds thronged Jesus wherever He went .

One such day, when the crowds were "pressing in on Jesus "
he got onto a boat !

Question - Of the thousands of boats that were docked on the
lake shore, he saw TWO boats.Why did Jesus get on Peter's Boat ?
Answer - Well for the same reason Jesus stood under the tree
on which perched little Zachaeus !
Jesus says,"I want YOU Peter !

- thrust out a little from the land and spoke to the crowd

Question - Why did Jesus move away from the crowd ? Shouldnt
he have been nearer the shore ? Shouldnt he be close to the crowd ?

Answer - If the boat is docked , then Simeon wont be needed , but if
the boat is in the water , who will steady the boat when Jesus is preaching?
Simeon cant leave the boat and go and in the middle of the water , Simeon
cant leave the boat and go wash nets !! He had no choice but to listen to Jesus
share the Word .

and when he had finished speaking -

Jesus spoke to the crowds on the shore , but there was one with him on the boat
who heard him speak all the sermon thru - Poor Peter.Jesus SAW him for a great
WORK on EARTH.Many a times Jesus will not directly speak to you, coz He knows
you wont listen.Being the wise God HE is, He will "put you in a spot" and then
speak the Word.

How many of us have been in pretty difficult spots and had no choice but to listen
to the WORD ? JESUS says,"Peter, I need you "

and WHEN he had FINISHED speaking -

To the blind man, Jesus didn't teach on the Word. To the bleeding woman Jesus
didn't spend time teaching, but for Peter - He made him sit through a SERMON.

WORD FIRST , then Jesus turned to address the NEED !!

(read my earlier post on Miracles and the Word by Bro Blessan)

Simon, Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch of fish !

Jesus didnt ask Peter !! He knew it all along that Simon Peter had struggled
to make his ends meet. Then why didnt Jesus do the Miracle first? and the
Sermon later ? Lets look at Peters response

"Master - at your word .. I WILL"

How did this change come about? coz he been listening to what Jesus spoke all
along ..Now Peter is ready to get some Faith in ..At your WORD I WILL

( read my note on Prophetic Encounter and Prophetic Impartation - Bro Blessan )

Wow Wow Wow !! I cant barely hold the revelations in !! Its POWERFUL !!

Lets continue with the drama -

Result "and WHEN they HAD dont this , they inclosed a HUGE Multitude "

The Miracle is not just to feed Peter's belly ,

he beckoned unto his partners which were in the other ( SECOND) ship

Jesus had his eyes on the SECOND BOAT too and HE chose to call them this way ..
through Peter and through the Miracle in Peter's life !

vs 10 says these partners were JAMES and JOHN !!

JESUS SAW them TOO !! but they are going to come through YOU !!
Jesus says, " I need you PETER "

vs 11 - THEY FORSOOK ALL and went with him..Why ??

look at the word "THEY" .Tho Jesus got on Peter's boat ....
Not just PETER - BUT JAMES , JOHN and ANDREW too..

See the AWESOME DRAMA of GOD'S ELECTION !!

I feel like shouting JESUS says , " I NEED YOU PETER"

vs 8 and vs9 vs 11 - when Peter SAW , he FELL down !!

Look what the Miracle did - It confirmed the Deity of Jesus ! and
APPOINTED some people for a DIVINE WORK in HISTORY !!

and Jesus Appoints him with this DIVINE PROCLAMATION

"Fear NOT , Henceforth , I will make you FISHERS of MEN "

Jesus had no problems with Peter's personality. If God made you
then He also knows how to repair you.

But in that Awesome PROCLAMATION , JESUS Said

" I WILL MAKE YOU " Leave it upto Jesus !!

What God plans to accomplish through you will shake the
ground beneath your feet ..thats why He said,"FEAR NOT"

Gods work through you WILL ALWAYS Be BIGGER THAN YOU !!

so FEAR NOT , for I WILL MAKE YOU !! says Jesus

Blessed ?Aye are you blessed ? Is it Shouting and Rising up inside you ?

( I have taken the liberty of presenting what Bro Blessan spoke in my style , but it
maintains the Spirit with which he spoke . I have added more revelations where the
Holy Spirit spoke so into my heart as I meditated on it.But ALL CREDIT
to Bro Blessan. I Thank the LORD for a Man like HIM !!)

GIANT SLAYER TRILOGY PART THREE

Generations later, a small strapping lad whom even his father didn’t
think him fit enough to be a soldier in the army and delegated him
as a lowly shepherd boy was SEEN by GOD .

Look at what YHWH told Samuel, “ I have SELECTED a King for MYSELF
among his sons” and when Samuel anointed David with oil , the BIBLE
says the spirit of YHWH rested mightily upon David from that day
forward. (NASB version) David told Saul, “While I was tending sheep
…I have killed both the lion and the bear and this UNCIRUMCISED
Philistine will be like one of them”

I have always thought that David was anointed to kill the lion and
the bear and that’s why he did what he did. This passage tells us
that the anointing came only later – AFTER he killed the LION and
the BEAR . Evidently he knew the terms of the Covenant –
whatever shape they came in , he refused to let them rule. LION
BEAR, GIANT..NO trespassing! Now do you see Why GOD SELECTED
DAVID ?!! He was a practiced killing “his’ giants before he went for
the BIG ONE !

We want God to use us to kill the GOLIATHS of the Land, but wait ,
First kill the LION, Kill the BEAR who is trespassing your land and
stealing away the sheep under your care ! Then even if you are holed
up in the depths of this big wide world, God will send His anointed
prophet to where you are !!

And when that happens, look at what God will cause people to
do for you.

I Samuel 16: 18 says of “a young man” who spoke to King Saul,
“I have seen a son of Jesse ..who is a skilful musician, a mighty man
of valor , a warrior , one prudent in speech, and a handsome man
and YHWH is with him”

People unknown to you will recommend your name to the President
and to the people in high positions.

They will say of you ‘YHWH is with you!’
THE ANOINTING WILL TAKE YOU PLACES WHERE YOU CAN’T GO!


Look at this wonderful passage of the Scripture :

2 Samuel 2: 1-4 says David inquired of the Lord where should I be
anointed King and it’s interesting that the YHWH LORD said,
“to HEBRON” Whoooo!! Interesting !!

Now it has come to its HEIGHT of GLORY- Israel’s favourite King was
crowned in HEBRON – Amazing that a GIANT SLAYER is crowned
KING in the Land formerly known as the LAND of the GIANT ARBA!!
Isaiah 62 :3 is for you : “ Gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all
kings they glory and thou shall be called by a NEW NAME , which
the mouth of YHWH shall name”

O! KINGS and PRIESTS of the KINGDOM – Hasn’t he promised, “Take heart,
I have overcome the world”! Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to
WAR!! Again let us look at some interesting scriptures

Numbers 13:2 and 6 say Caleb was a leader among the sons of Judah.
I Samuel 17:12 says David belonged to the tribe of Judah.
Mathew 1:1 begins by wrapping it all in the verse “THE BOOK of generation of
JESUS CHRIST, the SON of DAVID, the SON of ABRAHAM.

(Wow, I don’t doubt whether it was actually the Holy Spirit who inspired
Mathew to write that cumbersome genealogy. It ain't boring anymore! )

Jesus chose to come from the lineage of Judah. THE LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH

And outside Judah’s city gates, on the MOUNT of GOLGOTHA , He CONQUERED
the GREATEST GIANTS of all – DEATH and SIN !! Now He holds the Keys of Death
and Hades and Beckons to all who would care to listen -
Isaiah 62 : 4 says “ Thou shalt be a Crown of Glory in the hand of the LORD and a
ROYAL DIADEM in the hand of thy GOD”

Do you RECEIVE THIS TODAY? Blessings to all!

GIANT SLAYER TRILOGY – PART TWO

We have seen how Hebron was where Abraham buried
Sarah. Sarah was the Mother of the Promise .It was where
the co-labourer of Abraham was buried. She helped bring
forth the Promise to the world.

Genesis 23 says Abraham buried Sarah in the cave of field
of Macphelah facing Mamre ( that is Hebron) in the land
of Canaan. So the field and the cave that is in it were
deeded over to Abraham for a burial site by the sons of Heth.
It’s interesting to note that Hebron was called Kiriath Arba
even in the times of Abraham and the people of the land
respected Abraham so much that they said “Hear us my Lord,
you are a MIGHTY PRINCE among us.” What had happened to
the children of Abraham that generations later they called
themselves GRASSHOPPERS before the very people that
bowed down before their FATHER ?

My Brother , My Sister WHOSE CHILD ARE YOU ?
Do you know WHO CALLS HIMSELF YOUR BROTHER ?

Hebron was earlier occupied by Giants – and they named it
Kiriath Arba – after the father giant Arba who begat Anak,
who in turn had three giant clans – Ahiman , Sheshai and
Talman. It was at this land that Caleb boldly proclaimed;
Let us go up at once for YHWH is with us. The unbelief of the
Israelites stopped Caleb from carrying out his mission.
Forty Five years later, Caleb went ahead and “dispossessed”
the three giants and renamed it Hebron. Othniel, his nephew
and later his son in law caught hold of his spirit and became a
GIANT SLAYER himself. Speak of Impartation.

Joshua 14:14-15 says Hebron , THEREFORE , became the
INHERITANCE of CALEB the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite
BECAUSE that he wholly followed YHWH , God of Israel.
CAN you see this ? What was deeded to Abraham finally
became an inheritance to

ONE MAN – ONE who DARED to BELIEVE in YHWH.

Do you see the New Testament as a Title Deed? Our Lord has
already won the Victory over all .

GO IN AND POSSESS the LAND –by FAITH in our Lord!

Where did you bury your God given Promise/Dream? Is it
today known by the GIANTS living in that land? Today if you
believe; the LORD wants to give it back to you for an INHERITANCE !
Where were u Buried and Bowed down? IF you will, (again I say IF)
believe, IT will be your INHERITANCE ! Keep it for generations !
