Receive By Grace Through Faith by Joseph Prince


Daily Devotional

Receive By Grace Through Faith by Joseph Prince

Galatians 3:5
5Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?...

Imagine that you are at a healing service. An alcoholic walks into the church reeking of alcohol. He sits behind the pianist, a nice elderly lady who has been serving in the church for 50 years. Both of them are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The healing power of God is present. In an instant, the alcoholic, who has never been in church before, gets healed. The pianist does not.

Most people, on hearing stories like this, would get upset and confused. They might ask, “Shouldn’t God heal this nice, old lady who has been serving Him faithfully all these years, and not that debauched drunkard?” You see, many people still believe that God heals only the deserving.

But that is not how God works. God looks at faith, not works. His power is made manifest in those who trust His goodness instead of their good behaviour. So if we go back to the above example, God wants to heal both the alcoholic and the nice elderly pianist. All they need to do is to receive by grace, or unmerited favour, through faith.

You see, we cannot earn the blessings of God. We receive them by believing God’s love and grace toward us. If we receive the greatest blessing — salvation — by simply believing that Jesus did it all for us and not by working for it, what makes us think that the other lesser blessings can be obtained by our works?

So if my daughter Jessica falls sick, I don’t go to the Father and say, “Father, heal my daughter because I am Pastor Joseph Prince and I preach healing to the people.” No, I go to Him by the blood of Jesus and say, “Father, I thank You that 2,000 years ago, Jesus bore Jessica’s sickness in His body. On that basis alone and by Your grace, I pronounce her healed in Jesus’ name.”

When you simply believe that you receive your blessings based on Jesus’ finished work and by His grace alone, you will receive your blessings!

No Grumbling, Please




No Grumbling, Please

And do not grumble.

—1 Corinthians 10:10

Grumbling and complaining are not what I want from you. When you grumble, you are telling Me that you don’t like the way things are going in your life—that you hate My way of doing things. And when you complain, you are showing an ungrateful heart.

Thankfulness is your protection against the sins of grumbling and complaining. Being thankful also keeps you close to Me. So—when you have too much homework, when your parents give you an extra chore, or when I’ve said “not now” to one of your prayers—don’t grumble or mumble under your breath. Instead, thank Me for the things that upset you. Before you know it, you will start to see those things differently. And you’ll start to feel better too.

1 Corinthians 10:10; Hebrews 12:28–29; 1 Thessalonians 5:18

The King Is Not Angry With You By Joseph Prince

The King Is Not Angry With You
By Joseph Prince

Proverbs 19:12
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

The Bible tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) But have you ever wondered why he acts like a roaring lion?

It has something to do with a lion’s roar. In the Bible, the roaring of a lion speaks of the king’s wrath — “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion”. So when the devil walks about like a roaring lion, he is trying to give you the impression that the King is angry with you. And when you believe that God is angry with you, the devil knows that he has got you.

When you think that God is angry or displeased with you, you will not be confident of His love toward you. Instead, you will expect and fear punishment from Him. And you will want to stay away from Him because you do not wish to incur His wrath any further.

But the truth is that God is not angry with you, even when you fail or blow it, because all your sins have already been judged in the body of His Son at the cross. As the Lamb of God, Jesus became your burnt offering. That is why He said, “I thirst.” (John 19:28)

Those who heard Him say that at Calvary that day thought that His thirst was physical. Actually, His thirst was spiritual because He was being “burnt” by the fire of God’s wrath. He was being judged for our sins. His body exhausted all of God’s wrath until every claim of God’s holiness was satisfied and His wrath appeased!

Now, there is a law called “the law of double jeopardy”, which states that the same crime cannot be tried twice. Today, the fire of God’s wrath will never fall on you as a believer because it has already fallen on His Son at the cross. He judged your sins then, but in the body of His Son.

So right now, you are not under the King’s wrath but His favour. And His favour rains down on you like dew on the grass every morning!

God Wants You To Draw From Him By Joseph Prince





For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45
God Wants You To Draw From Him
By Joseph Prince


Did you know that giving to you actually brings joy to God’s heart? When you place a demand on Him—like look to Him to heal you—you let Him be God. When you draw from His fullness—His abundance of life, health and blessing—you delight Him!

When you come empty and draw from God, the One who has endless supply, you honor Him and let Him be God. You free Him to pour His abundant supply of health, wholeness and peace into your life! That’s why God wants you to come expectantly to Him for your healing and for every single one of your needs today.

So see Him ready to pour His abundance out for you. See Him rejoicing when you call upon Him. Meditate on and see His heart of love that always wants to give to you. Receive from His fullness and see your healing and answer to every need manifest!

You Are Highly Favored Because Of Jesus! by Joseph Prince




to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Ephesians 1:6

You Are Highly Favored Because Of Jesus! by Joseph Prince

The Bible tells us that God has made us “accepted in the Beloved”. The Beloved here refers to Jesus and the word “accepted” means “given special honor” or “highly favored”.

So because you have received Jesus who is God’s Beloved, and you are found in Him, you are also God’s beloved son or daughter, deeply loved and highly favored by Him! Now, because you are highly favored by God in the Beloved, you can expect to have favor with your spouse, children, colleagues, clients and yes, even your in-laws! When you speak, people listen. When you step into a room, it lights up. Everything you touch is blessed and increased.

Beloved, as you meditate on how you are deeply loved and highly favored by your heavenly Father, expect good things to happen to you today. Expect divine protection because His favor surrounds you like a shield. Expect every need to be met by the One who highly favors you. Expect good, because you are precious in His eyes!

God Can Turn Your Evil Day Into Good Days By Joseph Prince




God Can Turn Your Evil Day Into Good Days
By Joseph Prince


Esther 9:22
22 rest from their enemies... sorrow to joy... mourning to a holiday...

Today, many Jews still celebrate the feast of Purim. The name Purim is derived from “the lot” which a Gentile, Haman, cast concerning the fate of the Jews when they were in Persia under King Ahasuerus.

Haman, the villain in this story in the book of Esther, hated the Jews and sought to exterminate them. He got King Ahasuerus to allow him to issue a decree to annihilate all the Jews in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar. But God used Queen Esther and her uncle Mordecai, both Jews, to turn the tables on Haman and save the Jews.

Haman was hanged on the very gallows that he had constructed for Mordecai! Then, the king allowed Queen Esther and Mordecai to issue a counter-decree to allow all the Jews to defend themselves and destroy their enemies in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar!

So instead of the Jews being exterminated on that fateful day, their enemies were destroyed! God turned an evil day for the Jews into good days. He turned their mourning into rejoicing and gave them victory over their enemies.

My friend, God can do the same for you today. He only wants you to remain in your position of rest in Christ. You see, because of Jesus’ finished work at the cross, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ, far above every principality, and evil assault the devil can throw at you. (Ephesians 2:6) Just as Mordecai sat within the king’s gate, and refused to stand up and bow to Haman, let’s not “bow” to the devil by being persuaded to move from our position of rest in Christ. Don’t allow him to get you worried, frantic and doing things to save yourself.

Queen Esther was also in a position of rest before Haman was executed. (Esther 7) She was seated on a couch as Haman pleaded with her for his life. While doing so, he accidentally fell over the couch where the queen was. The king, thinking that Haman was assaulting his queen, sent him to the gallows!

Beloved, remain at rest in Christ’s finished work, and He will turn your evil day into days of rejoicing and feasting!

Is it really Lonely at the Top?




The richness of this world will never satisfy.
That is why I see so many rich and famous ppl
died lonely, depressed and lost while on drugs.
They ended up not knowing on what to do with their wealth so they try it on something else. Something that excites them "temporarily".
And then they will say, " It's lonely at the top!"

Maybe you heard some of them.

Yes. It is lonely at the top when you have everything and don't even know who the creature of all these things.
It's lonely when you don't know Jesus
and let Him touch your life.

Even King Solomon have said that in the Bible.
Everything here on earth is just "Chasing the Wind. It never satisfies. "

"I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Ecclesiastes 1:14

One day, I asked God for wisdom on all these.

Cuz I am a go-getter, adventurer person.
I love to dream big things and achieve success.
But I got tired of chasing worldly stuff although I'm still not there yet.

So I prayed God, "Abba, if all these things on earth will never satisfy, show me what will and I will follow You. Lead me to Your kind of success.

And then fastforward to this day, here I am.
Always wanting to be near Him.
Soaking in His presence.
Reading books about Him.
Reading the Bible.
Reading Jesus quotes and following all Jesus worshippers on social media.
I just got crazy about Him.

And all I can say is WOW!!!

All my life, I never felt this joyful, contented and fearless. (yes. He will also make you fearless)
Fearless, because in the midst of my troubles, trials and problems I still ended up praising Him.

And finally, I can say...

"Now that I know the difference of being "happy" or "joyful" , shall I settle for less?"
