God Will Cause Your Gift To Prosper You by Joseph Prince
God Will Cause Your Gift To Prosper You by Joseph Prince
Proverbs 17:8
8A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; wherever he turns, he prospers.
When we see something moldy, we throw it away. But when Alexander Fleming saw his culture dishes contaminated with mold, he discovered penicillin. You see, he had a gift which prospered him.
Joseph, a Hebrew slave in Egypt, had nothing except his gift of interpreting dreams. But look at what that gift did for him. It prospered him. He interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and became the most powerful man in Egypt after Pharaoh. (Genesis 41)
“But Pastor Prince, what if I don’t have any gift?”
My friend, don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t have any gift. God has given each person a gift which can open doors of opportunities and bring in great blessings.
Maybe you are just not aware of that gift you have inside you, or perhaps it has profited you nothing thus far as you have not found out how best to use it. You need to take your gift and ask God for wisdom to cultivate it until it becomes such a powerful tool or “precious stone” that wherever you turn, you prosper.
This was the case with a church brother who was tremendously gifted in the creative arts. For a long time, he lacked the confidence and boldness to leave the security of his police job and step out on his own. But when he began to seek God’s wisdom for his situation, God gave him boldness to leave his job and go back to school to pursue the creative arts. In school, he prospered, becoming one of its top students and impressing the principal so much with his creative gift that he was offered a teaching position in the school even before he graduated.
Now, please don’t go and quit your job after reading this. What you should do is ask God for wisdom regarding your gift. For when the wisdom of God is added to your gift, that gift becomes “a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; wherever he turns, he prospers”.

God knows His plans for you...
You got retrenched.
You are in great debt.
You suffer loses.
You lost a relationship.
You cried, wept and got depressed...
You look up and see...
things are different now.
Because through what Jesus has done on the cross, God is totally with you.
But sometimes, things can get a little shaky.
At one moment, you fear of what will happen to you tomorrow.
You then start to be so restless and stressed out just thinking of the future.
But I say,
Don't worry.
Just keep walking with Him.
Because He is Your Abba, Father who will do great things for you.
One day, you will just wake up asking yourself, " Am I in a dreamland Lord?"
Yes. Because Jesus is in you. Everything will change for the Better and Good!
That's one of His promises to us.
Still not convinced?
Read this.
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
(Jeremiah 29:11)

Disapppintments...disappointments...disappointments
Disappointments...
Disappointments...
Disappointments.
It's inevitible and while you're still breathing....it will always breathe you. Grabbing and taking hold of you from the neck up. Choking you.
So,
What to do when it happens to you?
Guess what, I have realized
It's always NOT "what you're gona do or what you're trying to do. "
It is "Who is with you. "
I've experienced disappointments lately.
I tried to be very patient about it, you know play smart and thought about creative things so as to get out from that loop real quick.
But to no avail.
It's still happening.
The more you avoid it,
The closer it gets.
For ordinary people, it's normal.
But hey!!!
I am no ordinary person.
I am a child of God!
Amen?
So these "disappointments" are not meant to bring me down everytime it happens.
I got Jesus.
Like i just said, "it's not what you're trying to do. It's WHO is with you..."
Me?
I got Jesus.
And guess what,
I know these disappointments are here and there and everywhere.
But for now, what's happening to me, while feeling this pain just amazes me.
It's just so awesome to know that this emotion is not actually eating up my soul like it used to!
Woooohoooo!
You see,
I know it's just there somewhere floating ready to grab hold of me as its prey!
Instead...
Right at this moment, while blogging this all out, I feel so light, calm and cool.
I feel the peace within.
That PEACE that Jesus' promises in the bible.
You might wana ask me,
Why do I know that PEACE comes from Jesus?
Because He always tells me so..
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
John 14:27
The way things are. It's a fact,
you can never change things and make it agree to your expectations.
So the way to do it, is
to look within.
Give up.
Talk it out to Jesus and
everything will be alright!
Halleluyaaah!
Yeah. Thats me talkin.
Give it all up to Jesus!
It's lunch time here in Singapore Beloveds!
Have a blessed and great day ahead!

Joint Heirs With Christ Jesus by Joseph Prince
Joint Heirs With Christ Jesus by Joseph Prince
Romans 8:16–17
16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ...
As long as you are born again, you are no longer a “slave”, but a son of the Most High God. And God does not just call you His son. He also calls you “an heir” through Christ. (Galatians 4:7) In fact, Romans 8:17 says that you are “joint heirs” with Christ.
As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you inherit everything that He is. How precious Jesus is to the Father, is how precious you are to the Father. The way the Father loves Jesus, is the way the Father loves you!
How accepted are you by God today? Look at Jesus. That is how accepted you are! Christ is the measure of your acceptance. How favored are you by God? Look at Jesus, who is seated at the Father’s right hand. You enjoy that same favor today because whatever Christ enjoys, you enjoy!
As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you also inherit all that He has obtained from the Father. How much Jesus has, is how much you have. How prosperous is the one who made all things, and who put the gold, silver and diamonds in the earth? So are you in this world! (1 John 4:17)
I used to read the Bible to find out how to be a rich, successful and victorious Christian. But now, I read it to find out more about Jesus because I know that when I find Him, I find my every blessing in Him. (Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3)
My friend, all that Jesus is in heaven today, you are in this world. All that belongs to Him belongs to you. That is why it is in your interest to know Him more, to see Him in all His glory and beauty. And because Jesus is so rich and glorious, it will take you a lifetime to discover everything that He has done for you and has for you.
Beloved, you are an heir of the Most High God. You are a joint heir with Christ Jesus. So find out all the blessings that your rich inheritance includes and start walking in them today!

God has the last words
You know as human, I've already used up alot of my resources and strength to almost everything.
But to where?
...down to nothing.
Thinking...planning... Executing plans.
When my Citizenship application had been rejected, thoughts swirled and pop out of nowhere.
I said, I must have Plan B.
Then I started to think of trying it out to another country. Find a new job. New career. New life.
And then fear got me for a little while which made me weary.
For sometime, I was restless.
But then, I realized God had already said NO!
Well, at least
for now.
Because He told me,
"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."
Proverbs 19:21
Oh no! Ok Lord, I shall wait.
I shall move on, with You as my partner.
Whatever my decisions are, from now You still have the final words.
So I trust you in that ok?
I know you won't leave me and I know You know what's really best for me. So for now no complaints yet. Heheh!
Thank you Jesus because You are my partner in this world.
Good Monday morning everyone!
Have a blessed and prosperous week!

Only Christ’s Atonement Satisfies God by Joseph Prince
Only Christ’s Atonement Satisfies God by Joseph Prince
1 John 2:1–2
1… if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins…
Today, Jews still observe Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. As the name suggests, it is a day set aside to make atonement for one’s sins. But for Christians, this beautiful feast points to Jesus and what He did for us on the cross. Because of His sacrifice, all our sins have already been perfectly atoned for. That is why, should we sin, we know that “we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins.
Now, it does not say that if anyone repents, we have an Advocate with the Father. It says that if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father. The moment a child of God sins, straightaway, his Advocate, Jesus Christ, goes into action to pray for and protect him.
What about repentance then?
The word “repentance” is metanoia in the Greek, which means to change one’s mind. For example, you used to believe that Jesus was just a good man. Then one day, you repented and believed that He is the Son of the living God, who died for your sins and rose again on the third day, and you gladly took Him as your Savior.
Bible repentance is not this idea of hitting or punishing yourself to atone for your sins. Don’t turn it into a human work, like the man who went to a priest to confess his sins. When they were done, the priest asked the man, “By the way, what do you do for a living?” The man replied, “I’m a contortionist,” and proceeded to give a demonstration. Another man came along wanting to confess his sins. When he saw the contortionist all twisted up on the ground, he said, “If this is repentance, forget it!” and ran off!
My friend, there is no need to climb the Himalayas or whip your back bloody to atone for your sins. No amount of self-punishment or crying can atone for them. Your sins have already been punished fully in the body of Jesus. Only His finished work satisfies God. So change your mind and simply believe that Jesus alone is the propitiation for your sins!
