SUNDAY SERMON BY PASTOR RAJESH MATHEW, 17 August 2025 

John 6:11-13- And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost." 

Your financial levels will shift in your life. 

The Holy Spirit has given me a very clear Word tod ay to facilitate a shift in your financial levels. To have you experience a supernatural deliverance in this area.

• 70% of Christians are in debt, according to a report. However, this topic is not encouraged in church circles. However, when you read the Word, Jesus touches this topic. • In all four gospels, one miracle of Jesus is covered in all four books and that is about Jesus multiplying the bread and fish. Anything written once in the Bible is good enough, written twice requires us to pay attention, written thrice means this is going to happen soon in your life and that written four times means God will do this not just for you but also to those connected to you. It will manifest in your and your children's life. 

John 6:5- Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”" 

• When disciple John writes, it is a personal Gospel. It is differently written from the Book of Mathew, Luke and Mark. For example, Nicodameus came to Jesus at night you ask what must I do to be saved. In the 4th chapter, a Samaritan woman, came to Jesus and had a personal encounter. The book of John gives a very close description of these making it personal and real.

The relationship with Jesus is personal. Jesus is personal whether it is concerning your blessing, calling, future or life. He is personal. 

• In 6th chapter Jesus asked Philip how to feed the hungry. This is the only place where Jesus asked for advice! Where shall we buy bread, Jesus asked? 
• Philip took out his calculator and said even if we put together all year’s salary amounting to about 200 denarii, we will still not be able to feed everyone. Our God is not a God of lack. He is a God of abundance. Jesus is able to increase your smallness and limited supplies 
• Philip spoke about the impossibility but Andrew spoke of the possibility. He said, there is a boy here with five loaves and two fish. Paul Yonggi Cho, a great preacher said that he’d rather be in Andrews school than in Philip’s school! 
• When you have lack and when you see an opportunity, see some possibility. Some people will take away your faith who will never help you see your possibilities.

Ask God to show you possibilities.

• Andrew saw hope, he saw possibility. Andrew said, this boy has a tiffin box and if this tiffin box can be given to the Hands of Jesus, a miracle can happen. You need faith. • Faith helps you see possibilities and within that you will see miracles. • In 2 kings we see a woman steeped in debt and her children would be taken away to be bonded labourers. But God broke that debt.

Holy Spirit will bring you out supernaturally from your debts. May miracles happen in this area. 

• A widow had a little bit of oil. May be a litre or half litre. But God said, I don’t want to see how less the oil is but your faith has to be big. Bring all the vessels and pour the oil into them. The oil did not run out, in fact the vessels ran out! 
• If you take a step of faith in obedience to God, it will grow and multiply. Glory to God! God is the God of increase. Jesus is faithful to fill you. Be filled in Jesus’ Name! Whether you are here in person or connected online, Jesus is able to fill you still. 
• What you have in your hand may be little but you have a BIG God. Philip saw the crowd and Andrew saw the possibility. 

1. BE AT REST

John 6:10- Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So, the men sat down, about five thousand in number." 

• There is rest before a miracle, not tension and worry. Before a miracle is an inner rest. How will I pay my EMI, how will resolve the issue of my child? Don’t be worried and tensed. Just sit with Jesus and be at rest. Don’t be so worked up, and upset. Just calm down, just chill and sit with Jesus.
• Peter in fact, went to sleep in the Jail and Jesus slept in the midst of the storm! • If you learn to be at rest, at peace. Sabbath is the day of rest, don’t go for duty, don’t go to collect your manna, don’t make your children study even on that day. Be with Jesus. 

2. GIVE THANKS

John 6:23- 23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks— 

• The bread came after giving thanks. The miracle came after Jesus thanked the Father. If you thank the Lord for what you have, God will bring the miracle. I’ll tell you the secret Angels of God come only into a place where there is thanksgiving. How will I build my house? How will I pay my EMI? How will I go on the trip?
• Look at your salary and say thank you Lord. The Lord will bless my life and my family through this alary.
• When there is a need, you need to learn to give thanks. When Jesus gave thanks, the bread multiplied. 

3. MIRACULOUS PROVISION FROM HEAVEN

John 6:41- The Jews then [a]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 

• Jesus gave thanks and bread came from heaven and people are watching this. And then the Lord says, I am the actual bread that came from heaven. 
• When you give thanks, miraculous provision from heaven is released. Start giving thanks, and heavens will open over you.

4. PROVISION ‘AS MUCH AS YOU WANT’

John 6:11- 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them [a]to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 

• God gave AS MUCH AS THEY WANTED. God’s miraculous power will give you as much as you want! God will satisfy. As much as they wanted. 
• God gave them fish and that was the desire of the people there. He gave them what they desired.
• By faith receive as much as you want. 
• The Bible says that there were 12 baskets left. Where did the baskets come from? Perhaps there was a businessman who makes baskets for earning sitting amidst the crowd in the Presence of Jesus. Bring your business into the presence of God and he will bless it.

HOW DOES YOUR FINANCIAL LEVELS CHANGE? 

• There are levels and there are dimensions. 

o Level shift is like moving from one floor to the next floor.

o Dimension shift is like moving from this building to another building. o Realm shift is like moving from one country to another country.

GOD is changing your levels, dimensions and realms according to your faithfulness and faith. 

1 Corinthians 16:1-2- 16 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 

• According to the level that God has prospered you, you should give. When you give according to your current level of prosperity, then God takes you to the next level of prosperity.
• You need to know your level of prosperity first and then you need to understand whether you desire the next level of prosperity and then you need to think of how you need to give to get to the next level of prosperity.

God opened the next level in Three ways: 

With the money that you give, the money will unlock a partner in your life.

• First level- A human partner who will help you.
• Second level- God’s Holy Spirit will partner with you
• Third level- God’s Holy Angels will come and take you to the next level. 

If you are to accomplish only small things in life, then you don’t need anybody’s help. But if you have a dream and a vision in your life, you have big aspirations, then you need somebody to come into your life to partner with you and get you into your next level.

Acts 4: 36- 36 And [a]Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of [b]Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 

FIRST LEVEL - Greek for koininos. It means ‘Partner, sharer, companion, participant’.

This same usage is seen in Luke 5:10: 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” 

• James and John. They were partners in business. 

Philemon 1:11- 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me. 

• If you give your money, God will send partners to support you.

Acts 4:37- And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is by interpretation a son of encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet" 

• Joses came to the apostles and placed the gifts at their feet. May the Lord give you such a partner in your life.
• You too can be that kind of partner to somebody else. Koinonos is God sending someone to you to support you.

SECOND LEVEL- When the Holy Spirit Himself comes to help you -Greek word for this isKoinonia- Not by power, nor by might but by the Holy Spirit.

• Jesus told Peter that go fish and place your hand in the mouth of the first fish you catch and you will find what you need to pay our taxes in its mouth.

The Lord Himself shows you where your money is. 

The Spirit of the Lord will show you. 

I was looking for a land to build my house a few years earlier. I am not telling you this because I want your money to build my house. I don’t want your money. God is my provider and I will only increase because I am in a covenant relationship with God. That day, the Lord told me to invest into a particular share. I had no clue about the stock markets. But That share began to increase. By the time it was time to buy the land for my house, this share had increased by 300%. 

I sold those shares and bought that land. There were two more people with me who had bought those shares with me but the very next day after I sold the shares, the prices crashed!

The Holy Spirit will show you where your blessing is! 

Acts, chapters 5:1-11-a married couple named Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land but lied to the Apostle Peter and the Holy Spirit about the amount of money they donated to the early Christian church in Jerusalem 

• Peter asks both of them ‘why did you lie to the Holy Spirit?’, which means the Holy Spirit is involved in your money matters. 
• The Holy Spirit needs humans to move through. This is a principle. Giving to God is giving to the men of God or people of God. 

Zechariah 4:6- Not by networks but by the Holy SPIRIT. Not by networks or resources but by the Holy Spirit of God.

There is no donations in God's kingdom. There is sacrifice, tithing, giving and sowing. The next financial levels are opening up for me by the Lord

• Revelations 21, the Word says that gates of heaven are made of pearls sand precious stones. If you like all this, don’t got to hell.
• The beauty of heaven is nothing compared to the beauty of Jesus. 

THIRD LEVEL – 

Acts 10:1-4- 10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian [a]Regiment, 2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave [b]alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 About [c]the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” 4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 

• Your giving can open dimensions for your life. His prayer, his devotion, his giving opened up dimensions over your life. This caused angels to come into his life and he saw visions. And the angels say that all you do has become a memorial before God.
• What is a memorial? It is a big structure symbolising greatness. That’s why he saw angelic activity.

Consistently sacrifice is needed always to see the supernatural. 

• If the angel calls your name once that is enough.

This morning let the yokes upon your finances break off. 

Malachi 3:10-11- 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. 11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” says the Lord of hosts; bring say the Lord of angelic armies.

• Who is saying this? The Lord of hosts, the Lord of angelic armies. Every time you give, you activate the ministry of angels. 
• When you are faithful in your giving unto God, the angelic realm is open in your life • That there be meat in My House- You are being overfed God’s Word. • Let that realm open up over some of your lives. The Lord will rebuke the devourer. • I started giving when I heard Kenneth Copeland says- You need God to rebuke the 

devourer. Why? One disease is enough to take away everything you have saved. A person was in the hospital and the bill was 25 lakhs. His savings were gone! • Your giving will rebuke the devourer, that is coming against you and your family. When you give, the Lord of the angelic army will rebuke it! 

• One person came and told me, ‘We sold our house to treat my mother’.

Your money can open dimensions that you can never think of, when you give unto God! 

Philippians 4:18-19- Indeed I [a]have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

• Paul received the gift and responded with speaking this blessing in verse 19. We don’t sacrifice to God, we don’t give to God and yet expect Him to bless us. 
• But when you give, there is a glory bank. He releases His glory over our lives. “Supply” means to be fully furnished with everything you need for life. God is continuously furnishing and pouring into your life. is not just provision, it is supply. Provision meets specific needs—like building a house or educating your child—but supply is a continuous overflow. It is like a fully furnished house. Has everything that I need for my needs.
