0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. I'm going

0:54 to talk to you today about the God of the more than enough. Yes,

1:00 many times, especially a religious spirit sets in where we're just thinking that

1:03 we're very humble. We just say, you know what, I don't want

1:07 more, It's just enough. If God pays my bills, if God just

1:11 gives me enough to just get by scratch true life. You know that's not

1:15 the God we serve, right, We serve a God who's the God who

1:19 wants to give you more than enough. Not just for yourself, but God

1:23 wants your life to be a testimony of how powerful he is. He wants

1:26 your life to be a witness to nonbelievers about the reality of who he is.

1:32 He wants your life to be something that you can say, you know

1:37 what, you can use this as a platform to be a blessing to other

1:41 people. God doesn't want to just give you enough for you to get by.

1:45 He wants to give you more than enough, so that you can be

1:48 a blessing to more people in your life as well. What I want you

1:52 to understand is anything about the moment when Peter and his friends they fished all

1:59 night and they caught nothing, And what did Jesus do when Jesus intervened in

2:02 their life. Jesus did a miracle and and the scripture says that they got

2:08 a net breaking load of fish. You see, Jesus could have just given

2:13 them enough for the day. You say, you know what, you didn't

2:15 catch any fish all night, so you has some fish for you to just

2:19 make it through today. Tomorrow you'll get a good catch that's enough for you

2:23 to manage. Or Jesus could have just given them like maybe five or six

2:27 fish for them to just go enjoy their family. You'll be happy. Some

2:31 fish just for you to make it through the day, make it through the

2:35 night, make it through till you get your next good catch tomorrow. But

2:39 the Bible says that when Jesus stepped in and intervened, there was a net

2:45 breaking load of fish where not only Peter God blessed, but he had to

2:49 invite his friends other fishermen to come along and help, so they all together

2:54 God blessed because of this one intervention. What I want you to understand is

3:00 God wants to do something so big, something beyond what you can imagine,

3:04 not just for you to get by, but to give you more than enough

3:07 net breaking load of fish, so that not only you get enough, but

3:10 you get more than enough. But other people who are connected with you are

3:15 also going to be blessed because of you. Don't just live for yourself.

3:19 Don't just say it's enough if I get enough to pay my bills. Now,

3:22 God doesn't just want to bless you for you. God wants to bless

3:25 you so that you can be a greater blessing to other people. There are

3:29 so many people in this world who need the Gospel. There's so many people

3:32 in this world who need to get that touch and the love of God and

3:36 all of that requires finance. It. Yes, there's a part to play

3:40 with it. You say, the prayers are good. Prayers are yes,

3:44 prayers are good, But there's also somebody who needs to go. You need

3:47 somebody who needs the finance. And there's so much of money involved. You

3:52 know. Sometimes I know that Christians in general have a negative opinion when it

3:57 comes to money. They're like, oh, pastors, reachers, they have

4:00 to money, and you know, so on and so forth. Maybe there

4:01 are a few people who are misusing money. I'm not denying that. But

4:05 the truth is when I organized meetings myself, when I do what I'm doing

4:11 every single day, all this involves money, Guys. I don't just get

4:15 it on a silver plate. Everything involves money. The podcast toos, or

4:19 when I have to travel to minister somewhere or you know, or when I

4:24 organize a meeting, everything involves money. I still remember there were days when

4:28 I organize meetings and my salary for one old month was less than the meeting

4:33 cost for one meeting. You know, sometimes I would spend so much because

4:38 that was how much it would require. What I want you to understand is,

4:42 you know, sometimes the people who make these comments against people who are

4:46 after who are asking for money. They think that, oh my gosh,

4:48 these people don't understand, you know, they're they're asking for money. But

4:53 the ones who say such things, you asked them, have they ever paid

4:56 any bills to a church for a church? Have they organize the meeting?

5:00 No? They haven't. Right, So, when I'm trying to tell you

5:03 guys today, here's this truth. There's so much of need for the Kingdom

5:08 of God. There's so many people who are hurting even now. There's so

5:11 many opportunities available for me to reach out to people. There's so many doors

5:15 that are knocking for me. But there's one idea that I'm still praying that

5:18 God will give me enough finance for me to step into that. You know,

5:21 God is my provider, and I believe that at the right time and

5:25 God wants me to step into it, He's going to provide. And it

5:28 may not just be through the fact that I'm working, and I you know,

5:31 put it right now, that's what I'm doing most of the ministry.

5:35 You know, expenses are covered because I'm working. But you know, there's

5:39 also a lot of other opportunities that come and I can't take up many of

5:43 them because of finance. You'll get what I'm saying. So pray that God

5:47 doesn't just, you know, give you enough, but ask him for more

5:50 so that you can be a greater blessing. Guys, don't just live for

5:54 yourself. Now. I don't want to come off as a guy begging for

5:57 money. You guys know, if you're listening to this message for the first

6:00 time, it is listening to me for the first time. I don't want

6:02 you to sound like I'm after money or I'm asking you guys for money,

6:05 But I just want you to have the product perspective here right when it comes

6:10 to money, prosperity and all of these things. Understand, it's not that's

6:15 what Kingdom minds it is all about. But you're saying, you know what,

6:17 I'm not just asking for me. I'm saying, God, you know

6:20 what gives so that I can be a blessing to other people. You know,

6:24 the podcast host it involves money, the recording platform involves money. Everything

6:30 on a regular basis, it all goes in not just rupees Indian rupees.

6:33 It goes out in dollars. Okay, every single month, a lot of

6:38 dollars go out and it is expenser Okay, I don't want to come and

6:43 give you the exact specifics in this episode, but it is expenser. Everything

6:47 is expenser. But at the same time, we need to preach the gospel.

6:50 The gospel is free, but the medium we use to preach the gospel

6:55 is not free, and we need that finance. And likewise, you know,

7:00 either you need for yourself to foster God's call over your life. Maybe

7:06 God is calling you into some area, maybe to shine his light in finance,

7:12 in ministry, in business, in anything unders and the Lord has been

7:15 putting in your heart. Or it may be to support other visionaries, other

7:19 ministries, other charitable organizations, somebody else who's called whatever it is today,

7:26 I pray that you will have that broader perspective and say, God, I

7:30 don't want it is limit you. I want to take the limits of and

7:31 ask you to give me the mindset to ask you for more than enough,

7:36 so that you know what. I don't live for myself, but I'm living

7:41 to build your kingdom. I'm living to pay somebody else's as well. I'm

7:46 willing to be used for the glory of God so that God can use me

7:50 my finance, my blessings, my provision my resources to preach the gospel to

7:57 somebody else, to tell somebody else about Jesus for the advancement of the Kingdom
