The Promise Of The Father by Joseph Prince

The Promise Of The Father by Joseph Prince

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!

God's word us health to our flesh!

My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your sight;
Keep them in the midst of your heart.
For they are life to those who find them
And health to all their body.
Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.

PSALM 4:20-23

Heir Of The World Today by Joseph Prince

Heir Of The World Today by Joseph Prince

Romans 4:13
13For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

God promised Abraham that he would be the heir of the world. Now, don’t be too quick to say, “Well, that promise was made only to Abraham and not me.” The verse says, “For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.” So the promise was not just made to Abraham, but to “his seed” as well, that is, you and I who belong to Christ — “And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:29)

Notice that God did not say that you would be the heir of the country you are living in, but heir of the world! The Greek word for “world” here is kosmos, which means the universe as well as the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments, riches, advantages and pleasures. All these are yours to inherit through the righteousness of faith in Jesus and His finished work at the cross. This righteousness is given to you as a gift from God, so you don’t have to earn it through good works.

For God to fulfill His promise, He has to prosper you. You can’t be the heir of the world and be poor or in debt! Not only that, He must keep you healthy because you can’t inherit the world when you are sick and always flat on your back.

Don’t listen to people who tell you that you will only get to enjoy these blessings when you get to heaven one fine day. Why would you need riches in heaven? There, even the streets are made of pure gold. (Revelation 21:21) And why would you need healing in heaven? There is no sickness there. So you need the health and wealth in the here and now!

Beloved, God wants you to be the heir of the world today. So lay hold of your rich inheritance today. Jesus paid for it with His blood. Don’t push it all to the sweet by and by!

Aging, Fainting or Believing?

When someone's birthday is coming and when it's obvious to know that one can't really escape aging.. You can't help but sigh. There's an excitement part that stirs you up inside but there's also sadness that tears you apart.

My birthday is almost coming. Well, not that soon but it's gona happen in few weeks time from now on.

For years, fears eluded me with this horrible thought.
"Oh, nooooo I'm getting old! What happens when I grow old? Is it ok to be old? You see, as one ages, he grows weak and sickly. Honestly, I don't like that Lord. "

Panics.

Mmmmmm..
Who wants to grow older than you think possible??

Not me, of course.

Actually, I am like Peter Pan!lolx!

But you see, if you can't avoid aging. Then I thought there must be some ways to enjoy the process. No, not Botox or any surgery ok? Hahah!

I want the Supernatural way!

This morning, as I was so engrossed in that thought,

Lo and behold!

God has given me some answers to ponder and celebrate!

He says,

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

-Isaiah 40:31 KJV


Halleluyaaaah!

I am one of those who "wait upon the Lord...."

So, I am claiming that!

I will be healthy as I grow!
I shall live well and strong because God says so!

Same thing will happen to my loved ones and to all those who believe too!

Now, isn't this something AWESOME to shout about?

Halleluyaaaaaah!!!

Halleluyaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

Halleluyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

:)

Have a blessed Monday everyone!

May God's word make you smile today. :)

But for me. You are very SPECIAL.

That's why I died for you. :)"

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)
