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!
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. -Isaiah 53:5

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.

God Is Behind Your Increase By Joseph Prince
God Is Behind Your Increase
By Joseph Prince
1 Corinthians 3:7
7So then neither he who plants is anything,nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Sometimes, we think that the increase or success which we enjoy is the result of our own efforts or hard work. Now, I am not advocating laziness, but the truth is that God is the one behind our increase.
We see this truth when we read the story of Ruth, a young widow from Moab, who worked as a gleaner in a barley field from morning till evening. Now, we could attribute the entire ephah — a substantial 10-day supply — of barley she collected at the end of the day to her hard work. After all, she did work all day in the field.
But when we read about how Boaz, the owner of the field, had secretly told his reapers to “let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean” (Ruth 2:16), we know that it was because of Boaz’s intervention that Ruth ended up with so much.
I believe that Jesus, our heavenly Boaz, does the same thing for us today. He causes people to favor us and “drop” blessings on us because He loves us. Then, He causes us to “pick up” these blessings. Often, it happens so seemingly naturally we forget that it is the Lord who has blessed us with the increases.
A church member who runs a florist business shared that once, God caused someone who needed a lot of flowers to “drop” a huge order with her. She also shared that she was hardly making any money even though she had been working hard for many years. But when she became a Christian after coming to our church, she began to confess every day that God’s favor was on her. Within a few weeks, that big order worth S$14,000 came in. Only God could have given her such a supernatural increase.
My friend, your hard work is not behind your increase. The Bible tells us that it is “God who gives the increase”. He is the one who is behind your increase and He delights in blessing you because He loves you!

Jesus Gives You Rest By Joseph Prince
...Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28, NLT
Jesus Gives You Rest
By Joseph Prince
You don’t need to be a Bible scholar or theologian to understand rest. You just need to be someone who knows Jesus, because it is Jesus who gives you rest!
My friend, perhaps you’re dealing with a challenging physical condition in your body today. And if you are weary, confused and tired because of all your efforts to get healed, just go to Him right now and tell Him, “Jesus, I’m so tired and confused. I’m scared too. Please hold me in Your arms and give me rest.”
You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to. You can just cry in His presence. Beloved, He already knows all that you are going through. And the One who bottles your tears will surely rest you and give you peace. He will lift you up and strengthen you until you are full of His shalom-peace—inside and out!

Unconditional Love That Heals By Joseph Prince
...great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.
Matthew 12:15
Unconditional Love That Heals
By Joseph Prince
It didn’t matter who they were or what kinds of past these people had. As long as they sought Him for healing, Jesus healed them gladly and graciously. He never asked them what they had done or not done, or if they had repented. He never asked them to sign a pledge to follow Him and never told anyone that He would not heal them because they deserved to be sick.
Surely, none of them were perfect in their thought life or behavior. Surely, there were some who came to Him without strong faith. Yet, all this didn’t matter to Jesus. All that mattered to Him was that they had been suffering and needed to be set free.
Beloved, see this compassionate Savior when you come to Him for healing. He puts no demands and no conditions on you. He simply wants to heal you and set you free!

Laughing at Troubles
Thank You for the reminder Lord.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
—Proverbs 31:25
Learn to laugh at yourself and at the world. Instead of getting bogged down in the mud of worry and fear, laugh and be happy because I am by your side. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so I delight in hearing you laugh. I feel happy when you trust Me enough to enjoy your life.
Don’t let worrying over troubles—especially things that haven’t even happened yet—keep you from laughing. Live each day to its fullest by being full of My Joy. That doesn’t mean you won’t ever have any problems. It doesn’t mean you won’t ever be sad.
But it does mean that when troubles come, you can still have Joy because the Creator of the universe is right there beside you— helping you with your problems.
So learn to laugh at your troubles . . . and you’ll find that they aren’t nearly so troublesome.
