I am a Christian

Let's talk about being a "Christian".

You know the world has inculcated on their minds that if you are a Christian, you are not bound to make mistakes or sin.
You should walk straight, be always a good person just like Jesus.
In short , you should be perfect.
(Which is so wrong)

I had my first attempt as a Christian back in the 2010's.

But I left the church.

You know why?

Because they gave me alot of stuff to do!

You must do this , do that. Forget your sexual preference. Go to church every Sunday. Read the Bible daily...which I didn't like!

Forward to this day.

I am back to being Christian.

And it is so different compared to the first truth that I know which stressed me out.

It is true when Jesus said in the Bible,




Jesus is our rest.

Rest from all our worries , anxities, fears and uncertainties.

Now, I go to church not because
I NEED TO.

I go attend church because
I WANT TO and it makes me excited everytime!

Can you tell the difference dear friends?

Now, I read the Bible not because some pastors told me to.

I read the Bible because I want to get to know more of my Jesus!

Wooow!

This change in me is amazing!

And it's effortless.

If you , my friend have experienced this in your Christian journey,
I want to pray with you.

That you too shall be set free !

The truth that as a Christian,
we need Jesus everyday because
He is our savior from everything will set you free.

We should all stop looking at our shortcomings, ourselves and start to look up to Him instead with praise and full of thanks for what He did at the cross.

As a Christian, our main task is to praise Him and not trying to fix our flaws. If we look up to Him. He will fix our flaws and then change us from the inside -out. That's what Jesus meant when He said, you come to Him , He is your rest.
And He doesn't lie.

You see, If we keep looking at our mistakes or failures as a Christians, it would take us forever. And it will only separate us more from God.

In this world, we can never be perfect because only Jesus is perfect.

When Jesus was at the cross,
He didn't say,
" hey you, have you read your bible today. Are you good today? If not I will come down from here and won't die for you. "

No!

At the cross, Jesus never thought on all of these.
What was on His mind and heart was that ," IT IS FINISHED!"

Jesus took all your failures, shortcomings, sickness, confusions at the cross and cloth you with His Righteousness so today, you and I deserves all the blessings.

Halleluyaaah!

Jesus is your wisdom so ask Him to lead you to His truth.

Let us pray.

Dear Jesus,
If the person reading this is in total confusion and lost as a Christian,
Please lead him to Your truth.
Your truth sets him/her free!
Thank You Jesus for being our awesome savior.
We shall praise you forever.
Amen!

Abundance Through Jesus’ Poverty by Joseph Prince

Abundance Through Jesus’ Poverty by Joseph Prince

2 Corinthians 8:9
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

When we think of God, we think of the most powerful and richest being in the whole universe. But do you know that our Lord Jesus was actually born into a poor family? We know this from the offering His mother Mary brought to the temple after Jesus was born, according to the Law for purification. (Luke 2:22–24) She brought a pair of turtledoves or young pigeons, which was the only type of offering the poor could afford. (Leviticus 12:2, 8)

But with Jesus in their lives, Mary and her husband Joseph didn’t remain poor. Wise men came to Jesus with treasures — “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:11)

Jesus’ presence brought gold, frankincense and myrrh — two of the most expensive spices — to His family. The wise men must have come with quite an entourage for the Bible records how all Jerusalem was fearful when the wise men came to the city. (Matthew 2:3) Can you imagine the amount of gold, frankincense and myrrh which accompanied that entourage, and which was given to Jesus’ parents?

My friend, the moment you are born again, you have Jesus in your life. And when you have Him in your life, get ready for His abundant supply to come your way! But don’t look for the blessings, look to Jesus — He is the power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18) The presence of the Son of the living God in your life attracts good things. Because of His grace toward us, Jesus, though He was rich, was made poor at the cross for your sake so that “you through His poverty might become rich”.

Beloved, when you have Jesus in your life and when you know that He has paid the price for your abundance, you can boldly declare, “Jesus was made poor at the cross for my sake so that through His poverty, I am made rich in all things!”

See Your Situation Through God’s Eyes by Joseph Prince

See Your Situation Through God’s Eyes by Joseph Prince

Psalm 1:3
3He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither;and whatever he does shall prosper.

When darkness covered the face of the earth, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (Genesis 1:3) When a certain man paralyzed for 38 years lay helpless at the pool of Bethesda, Jesus said, “Rise, take up your bed and walk,” and immediately, the man was healed, took up his bed and walked. (John 5:8–9)

You don’t say such words unless you see something others don’t. God does not see the way man sees. Man, however, must see the way God sees. We must see the vision of the Almighty.

The prophet Balaam saw the vision of the Almighty when the Spirit of God fell on him. As he looked down from a mountain at the camp of the Israelites, he found himself saying, “How lovely are your tents, O Jacob! Your dwellings, O Israel! Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the riverside, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters.” (Numbers 24:5–6)

Balaam would not have said this unless he saw Israel not in the natural, but as God saw it. At that time, the Israelites were a discontented lot, always murmuring and complaining in the wilderness. But when God looked at them, He saw them like flourishing gardens planted by the rivers — fruitful and prosperous.

Beloved, God wants you to see yourself the way He sees you — “like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper”. So see yourself like a tree planted by the rivers of water, bringing forth fruit in your season. See yourself as one who will not wither, whose health will not fail. See whatever you do prospering!

See the vision of the Almighty. That vision is always a good vision. Whenever you see your situation through God’s eyes, you will find that your situation will change because when you see as He sees, you allow Him to work as the Almighty in your life!

A Matter Of Spirit By Joseph Prince

For years, The Spirit has always been there to point me to the right "truth" of who and what our Almighty God really is.

In this mad, fallen world.

I could be alone.

Even if will be surrounded with lots of friends and relatives or families,
emptiness will never stop poking me.

But alas!

I kept praying Jesus to guide me always. No matter what.

And forward to this day, a veil has been taken out.

I realised, you could do whatever you like in this world (I'm talking about good and positive things here. Or if you've done something as a mistake. Do not worry. As long as you keep Jesus in your heart. He will fix it for you) for the truth that sets you free from all fears is knowing that God is your heavenly Father and He wants a solid and unshakeable relationship with you.

If you are not there yet,
do not be frustrated. We, as Christians are always work in progess.

I suggest, you ask Jesus to always guide you. Do not always depende on feelings if He is there or not cuz feelings deceive.

Sharing another powerful devotional from Joseph Prince.

Be blessed everyone!






God sent forth His Son…to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Galatians 4:4–5

A Matter Of Spirit
By Joseph Prince

As an heir of God, you have a rich inheritance. All the blessings of your heavenly Father are yours!

“Well, Pastor Prince, if it’s true that I am an heir of God because I’m His son, then why am I still not seeing the blessings?”

I asked the Lord the same question once. I said, “Lord, why is it that there are believers who don’t seem to be blessed despite the fact that they are Your sons and heirs?” The Lord said this to me, “It’s a matter of spirit.” Then, He pointed me to Romans 8:15, NIV—“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” He was telling me that walking in His blessings has to do with having a spirit of sonship.

How does the spirit of sonship operate? By the cry, “Abba, Father!” The Holy Spirit left the word Abba, meaning “Daddy” or “Papa,” untranslated in Romans 8:15 so that we will know that God wants us to have an intimate relationship with Him. Seeing God as Daddy and calling Him “Daddy” or “Papa” removes any distance and breaks down every barrier between you and God. It brings you into an intimate relationship with God and that’s how the spirit of sonship operates.

So beloved, have a spirit of sonship. Don’t see God as an impersonal, distant being who doesn’t really care how you feel. He isn’t just Almighty God, He is also your Daddy! Have this sense of intimacy with Him all the time and start to walk in a greater measure of your Daddy’s blessings!

God Daily Loads You With Benefits By Joseph Prince

God Daily Loads You With Benefits
By Joseph Prince

Deuteronomy 28:6
6Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

In the Jewish community, the promise, “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out”, refers to being blessed in the affairs of one’s daily life, whether in or outside one’s home.

So here, God is saying that you are blessed in your everyday life. Do you believe it? Do you believe that every day, your family and work life are blessed? Or do you think that you are blessed only during Christmas when you receive your gifts and year-end bonus, or when you get that promotion you have been wanting? Perhaps you think that the blessed life only begins when you meet the man or woman of your dreams!

No, my friend, you are blessed every day and you have God’s Word for it. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” And because God’s Word says so, believe that every day of your life is loaded with benefits. Every morning, when you get up, believe that it is a day that the Lord has made, and rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24) Start the day expecting it to be loaded with the benefits that God has prepared just for you.

At night, when it is time to sleep, know that you will be blessed when you get up in the morning because there will be another load of benefits from your heavenly Father, who so loves you unconditionally, waiting for you!

You can’t make your blessings happen. But if you will just believe what God has said in His Word and act like it is so, the blessings will manifest in your life. In fact, God wants to bless you more than you want to be blessed! His Word declares it: “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out... Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!”

Beloved, believe God’s Word. Believe Him for the blessings and you will find yourself loaded with His daily benefits!

Because only Jesus is perfect

I lost my cool again today.
(No, it's not an everyday thing )
It's just a moment to remind me that I am not perfect no matter how much I try to be perfect.
To be pleasing to everyone.
To my colleagues or to my partner...is tough.

It may work to some but to others,
Nyah!

You know this experience has given me a deep realization and made me thank our awesome God more.

He knows that none of us can be perfect and follow the 10 Commandments, so once and for all, He decided to let His only son Jesus, to die for us at the cross.

God wants us so much to be reunited with Him that He did that.

How awesome is that truth!

That's how special you and I to Him.

Makes me wanna cry and wants to go run boldly to Him and hug Him.

Imagine if He just let us work on our salvation? The heaven would be empty.

But thank God He knows us well.
Our weaknesses, strengths , failures. He saw it in us, that's He let Jesus' sacrifice at the calvary be our covering. So now, He sees us perfect because of JESUS!

You know, if you make mistakes, fail or think that you have disappointed or annoyed someone , just say,
"I am the righteousness of God through Jesus." And let this truth change you from the inside out.

I am still work in progress. Yes.
It will really take a long time I know for me to be at least pleasing to anyone and walk in Jesus' ways. But don't let that stress you out. Everyday is a struggle enough.
Instead, thank Him for Jesus.

Every mistake you make,
remember Jesus ...He loves you unconditionally.

Off to our service now at New Creation Singapore.

Blessed Sunday everyone!

Chat soon.

Only Jesus’ Finished Work Works by Joseph Prince

Meditate On

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
John 19:30

Only Jesus’ Finished Work Works by Joseph Prince

Whatever the problems confronting us today, there is only one solution for them—Jesus’ finished work. His perfect work at the cross covers our family life, finances, health, career...every area. It puts God righteously on our side, and enables us to be blessed with His provision and good success in all things. In contrast, our trust in our works will come to nothing, for there is nothing that we can do to earn God’s blessings.

Today, if you’re facing a challenge, simply depend on His finished work and not your works. If you’re experiencing symptoms in your body, meditate on and believe that Jesus was scourged for your healing (Isaiah 53:5). If you’re in the midst of financial lack, meditate on and believe that Jesus was made poor at the cross so that you can be richly supplied in all things (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Beloved, He has done it all for you. Fix your eyes on His finished work. It is the only work that works!

Sin Cannot Stop God’s Grace! By Joseph Prince

Sin Cannot Stop God’s Grace!
By Joseph Prince

Romans 5:20
20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

When a top executive is charged for corruption or a church minister is caught in the very act of adultery, you will probably hear the phrase “fallen from grace” being used of them. We have come to believe that when someone falls into sin, he falls from grace.

But God wants us to know that when someone falls into sin, he does not fall from grace — he actually falls into grace! Thank God His grace is there to put the person back on his feet.

The Bible tells of prostitutes and corrupt tax collectors — sinners — who fell into God’s grace and got back on their feet. If the sin in their lives could stop God’s grace, they would never have been able to receive His grace of healing, help and power to live right.

Now, it is important you understand that God hates sin because it destroys our lives, relationships and bodies. Sin is evil! But sin is not overcome by us talking about it and relying on our willpower to overcome it. It takes God’s grace to destroy sin. In fact, it is when you are under His grace that sin has no dominion over you. (Romans 6:14) It is when you see His grace in providing His Son to put away your sins and make you eternally righteous that sin will not dominate you.

The devil will say to you, “You think that you can still expect God’s blessings after what you did this morning?” That is when you must remind yourself that Christ alone is your perfection and righteousness. All of us have faults. None of us deserve God’s blessings. That is why we plead the grace of God, which is His unearned, unmerited and undeserved favor toward us.

Sin does not and cannot stop God’s grace. If His grace can be cut off by sin, Jesus would never have come to save us because we were all terrible sinners. But praise God, “where sin abounded, grace abounded much more”!

My friend, God’s grace is bigger, deeper, wider and more powerful than all the world’s sins put together. Receive His grace right now to walk in total victory over that weakness or evil habit in your life!

Jesus’ Blood Is On The Mercy Seat by Joseph Prince

Jesus’ Blood Is On The Mercy Seat by Joseph Prince


Leviticus 16:14
14He shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

If you have watched the movie, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, you would remember that when the lid of the ark was lifted, strange-looking creatures floated out and destroyed the people around it. Interesting as it may be, this is biblically inaccurate — the ark of the Bible did not contain strange-looking creatures. What were the things inside it then?

There were three items in the ark: the golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod and two stone tablets on which God had written the Ten Commandments. (Hebrews 9:4) These items are actually symbols of man’s rebellion. The golden pot of manna represents man’s rejection of God’s provision. The rod of Aaron represents man’s rejection of God’s leadership and the two stone tablets of God’s commandments represent man’s rejection of His standard of holiness.

But because God delights in mercy, He had these items put away in the ark and covered with the mercy seat, which had two cherubim on it. (Hebrews 9:5) And once a year, the high priest would enter the holy of holies where the ark was and sprinkle the blood of the animal sacrifice on the mercy seat. This means that God’s eyes, represented by the eyes of the cherubim, did not see the symbols of man’s rebellion. As long as the blood was there on the mercy seat, He saw only the blood and accepted the people.

Today, Jesus is our High Priest and He Himself has sprinkled His own blood on the true mercy seat in heaven — the throne of grace. (Hebrews 9:23–26) Interestingly, the number of times that the Old Testament high priest had to sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat — seven — speaks of Jesus’ perfect sacrifice. And because His sacrifice is perfect and He is perfect, we who are in Christ have perfect standing forever before God!

My friend, as you come to God today, don’t worry about falling short of His standard of holiness. He does not see your sins. (Hebrews 8:12, 10:17) He sees His Son’s blood on the mercy seat. You have perfect standing before Him forever!

Help Me Pray, Holy Spirit

Help Me Pray, Holy Spirit’
By Joseph Prince

Jude 1:20
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

When my daughter Jessica was little, she woke up one night crying. She was not sick, but would not stop crying even though her mother and I tried to pacify her. I did not know what to do. I went to the restroom, sat on the floor and cried out, “Holy Spirit, You know what is wrong with my child. You know what she needs better than I do, so I yield her to You now.” I started praying in tongues and she stopped crying immediately!

Now, I wish that such instantaneous results are the norm, but they are not. On another occasion, I experienced severe pain from the back of my neck to my shoulders. I prayed for healing, but the pain persisted for quite some time and I was quite concerned.

One night, in my room, I knelt down and prayed, “Holy Spirit, You know this condition. I don’t know what it is, but I am asking You to make perfect prayer against this condition.” I started praying in tongues. I don’t know how long I prayed, maybe an hour or so, until I felt the burden lift. I finally fell asleep, still in pain. But when I woke up, all the pain was gone!

When you are faced with a crisis, you can tell the Holy Spirit, “I don’t know how to pray about this problem. I have done everything I know, but I don’t seem to be getting my breakthrough. Help me pray, Holy Spirit.”

And as you pray in the Spirit, you will feel like there is a prayer going on within you. Flow with it until you feel a release. You will feel peace, the burden lifting and a note of victory inside you. The Holy Spirit will assure you that everything is going to be all right or He will prompt you to do something. Then, you will find that what has been hindering you from receiving your breakthrough is removed, and in its place is the answer you need!

Health Through The Oil, Bread and Wine

Ameeen to this!
I will be sharing soon on how we partake the Holy Communion in our church dear friends. So be ready.
Also, will be sharing on how to sanctify an olive oil so you can use it anytime, anywhere. ♥️
Meanwhile be blessed in today's devotional from Joseph Prince.



The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, and you will be satisfied by them…
Joel 2:19

Health Through The Oil, Bread And Wine by Joseph Princeo

A brother from New Zealand shared an amazing healing testimony with me. After undergoing two surgeries, he was diagnosed with grade eight prostate cancer and given a grim report by his specialist.

A couple, who were elders from his church, anointed him with oil and prayed over him. He felt God’s power go through him. Following this, his wife would anoint him every night with a bottle of oil, and they would pray and take the Holy Communion together. His symptoms started to disappear and he began to feel so much better. At his next checkup, his specialist was amazed. She proclaimed his blood test report ‘‘fantastic” because it showed all indicators in the normal range!

Beloved, the oil, bread and wine represent Jesus’ finished work at the cross. Jesus provided His own body to be punished for the healing of your diseases and afflictions. Rest in the reality that by His stripes you are healed!

The Promise Of The Father by Joseph Prince

Read on and you will be blessed...♥️♥️♥️♥️



The Promise Of The Father

Acts 1:8
8But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told His disciples to “wait for the Promise of the Father”. (Acts 1:4) There are thousands of promises in the Bible, so which promise was He referring to?

The early church knew which promise Jesus was referring to because He had told His disciples, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the Promise of the Father, which you have heard Me speak about. For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” (Acts 1:4–5) Jesus was referring to the baptism in the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues. (Acts 2:1–4)

Jesus wants you to know the value of the Promise of the Father because He said, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me...” He did not say, “You shall do witnessing,” but “You shall be witnesses”. In other words, your very person will be a witness to Him!

This is because the power you receive when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit is the same power that so anointed Peter that the sick were laid on the streets for his shadow to fall on them and heal them. (Acts 5:15) Even handkerchiefs and aprons from Paul’s body were so saturated with the anointing of the Spirit that when they touched the sick, people witnessed diseases and evil spirits leaving the sick! (Acts 19:12)

That same power caused a Holy Spirit-baptized church member, who prayed in tongues, to experience God’s healing power when he laid hands on his mother who was in an advanced stage of cancer. And because she was healed, she became a witness of the love and power of God to her friends and unbelieving relatives.

Beloved, when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, you will be a witness to others that no problem, trial, disease or sickness is a match for the power of the Spirit in you!

Ask Jesus What's Your Purpose

You see, we can all get soooo busy. We need to do this, do that, etc.

Like anyone else who can relate to me, yes! I have spent most of my entire life, just that: Being busy.
But as I reached the end of my rope. I felt there's one thing that's lacking. Although I already felt fulfilled cuz I was busy. But none of those things have really made me happy or complete.
So one day, I prayed. I said,"Lord, please don't make me so busy in this world that I forget the real meaning of life .Lead me to my purpose and how you want me to be. I don't want to leave this earth having lots of questions in mind with full of regrets. Amen!"

Forward to this day...
I feel I'm on my way. It's awesome to know that Jesus, indeed is leading me the way.
And yes, His answer to my prayer is this....PSALM 23...

Will talk more about Psalm 23 on my next blogs.

For now, if you are tired of being busy too just like me ...just talk to Jesus and ask Him for your purpose. He listens. And surely, will show you the way.

Now, let me leave you this beautiful Christian quote that truly
speaks what's in my heart.
