Greetings Beloved,
About 37 years ago, on July 14, 1984, I stepped out into full time ministry. Giving up my florist business in down town Bangalore and obeying His Call. From selling roses and Lillies, to sharing the Rose of Sharon & The Lilly of the Valley.
Being in full time ministry has been an adventures journey. From the largest ghetto in Mumbai to the remotest mountains of Nepal, the path to follow Jesus was to take up the cross and follow Him.
Born in the backwaters of Kerala, raised up in the city of Bangalore, it was a pilgrim journey having no salary or support. Many years of experience living by faith, trusting God for all my needs. From years of ministry as Christian journalist, itinerant evangelist, pastor of Gift of God church, missionary to the Nations has been a walk of faith.
Since May 2001, God opened doors to visit several nations. Yes, my faith journey has been adventurous, like Abraham (Gen 12:1-3)
In the Bible, there was a place called “Peniel”, seeking the face of God. During our troubled times of panic, fear, perplexity among the nations, let us seek His face at Bethel-House of prayer like Jacob who wrestled with an angel till the break of day.
Today get into your secret place of prayer. Seek Him with all your heart to do the Father’s will. The Church needs to stand in prayer & unity as we pray for the healing of the nations. (2 Chr. 7:14)
Our Father in Heaven will bless you as you get radical in CHRIST like faith with passion and devotion. May the burning love and fire of the Holy Spirit go with you as you prepare for the soon coming King of glory.
Yours brother in Him,
Mathew Jacob
For Gift of God Ministries.
Thanks! In prayers, partnership and fellowship in the body of Christ
Hello, I found your business card on the sidewalk in downtown Jackson MS today. I’m in a period of trying to discern God’s call for my life. I’m not the greatest pray-er but really need to do what you say. I’m going to seek Him with all my heart to do the Father’s Will. That’s all I want to do, the Father’s Will. i just want to go all in with Christ and never get burned out in my passion and want to quit.
God bless you!
