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!
