God Has A Plan For You!

Sometimes, you feel down.

Mixed- feelings of confusions, fears, depression and frustrations brought about

by external events of your life attack you

and then lead you to ask yourself this question, " Am I believing the right thing? or person?"

Let me answer your question.


If you believe in God. I say, YES! DEFINITELY, You are believing the right person.

If you believe in Jesus as your savior, I say YES again! Because Jesus is your SAVIOR as written in the
Bible.

So keep holding on and stop entertaining your negative thoughts and emotions.

Listen to praise songs like the  one I'm watching right now --->ONE WAY JESUS by HillsongUnited

For SURELY, you are on the right track with Jesus!

Things that you wish or want to happen may haven't manifest yet , I say, be patient
and enjoy the bumpy ride. Because God never promises a smooth journey, but He promises a safe landing.

Don't ask too many questions now. because it's a trap!

Just say, " Thank you Jesus, for keeping me...Thank you Jesus for saving me from these unhealthy, negative thoughts."

One more thing, you need to write this down again, and read it everytime
you doubt in God's plans for you.

One of my faves.:)

“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. Then you will call on me and come 


and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me 


and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” 




(Jeremiah 29:11-13) 






Beauuuuutiful right??


TGIF everyone!

Prayer of Protection

Let us all pray for the people and victims in New Zealand, ChristChurch's earthquake Beloveds.


We are BLESSED because we are here, online, blogging , facebooking or twittering whilst the other
poor souls outhere are fighting for their lives in different calamities like floods , terrorism, tsunamis and earthquakes.




Let's pause for a moment. 


Close your eyes now and just say a simple prayer for them.


 D E E P       S I L E N C E.










------------------
There you go.
Take a deep breathe.






------------------


I actually spoke in tongues with the Children of God in mind. 


When situations like these gives fear in your heart.. I say, "BE STILL". 


Because we have our Abba's promises of protection written in the Book of Life!


Keep this verse in your pocket. Write it in your notes where you can look or read through it anytime, everyday.


Memorize it.

"The LORD is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The LORD protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid. "

-Psalm 27:1.

I have created an artwork for this so if you have the chance, you can print it out yourself.

Can you stand above your problems?? (con't)

Ok. I'm back!

Are you still there?

Hope so.. :)

Anyways, I just had some cool revelations this afternoon.
Now, I'm gona continue this topic with a simple illustration
I created while taking my lunch.
Please a look closely in my drawing.






As you can see, someone is standing above the bubbles of career stress, fears, big problems, debts, small problems, wrong thoughts, health problems, relationship problems confusions, and the list would go on.

Like I said, anything can be a problem as long as it makes you feel uncomfortable for a long period of time. Because that in effect will eventually
result to stress, highblood pressure if ignored...then you will have health problem.
Still a problem, right?

The man above it all, lets assume that it will be YOU!

Wooow!

Yes! You are standing above your problems now dude!

Halleluyaaah!

Now.

because I've demonstrated it as a bubble in time, I wana point out that it would become shaky, and there will be unpredictable movements from time to time that it will lead you to lose your balance.

Now to sustain your strength above it?




You might say, "we must try hard to keep the balance...
and spend all our strength to stop the movements!"
(the shaking I meant is when problems attack you)

I say, my friend, you don't need to do all those things.

That is so exhausting!

My advice is....

Just REST.

When you're drowning, it's safier to just lie on your back and rest on the water than struggling to make it above the water.

Just rest...

How to rest?

Simple.

Just call unto Jesus, shout His name and say,

"Jesuuuuuuuus! I am tired of all these and I want to rest!
Please come into my life ....control it the way you like it
so I can rest!

Lead me to Your peace and everlasting joy, Jesus!

I'm so tired of believing the wrong thing and now I want to make it
victorious with You on my side..

Thank you for loving and dying for me....amen!"

Woooooow!

Beautiful words, aren't they?

Makes me smile..:) really.


(breathe in.......breathe out)

Oopps...

Ok, I'm not sure if I'm going to have part 3 on this..

Stay tuned.
Or you can throw in some questions ..

:)

Can you stand above your problems??

Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love. - Eric Liddel


-------
Imagine a life where there's no problem.
It's a cool thought right?

Life here on earth with
a problem to solve is "normal"..It's an everyday thing,
One courageous encounter.

We live to breathe problems. ( but don't agree with me yet.)

You know, I was almost going to accept that fact.
But fact changes.

Deep within me, something was uncomfortable and I
could feel it was shaking the entire me, ALL OF ME!
---- shouting at the very depths of my soul,

When it finally caught my attention, I heard it said,
"Life is not meant to live with problems!!"

The world can try to talk you out that, it's ok to have problems
and just leave you somewhere in your messed up lives wonderin
for awhile and maybe forever.

If your bestfriend will comfort you with words like,
" I also go through the same things that you are in right now. It's ok.
There's always tomorrow. Everything will be alright."

I bet! You'd be just listening to him with a blank, frozen face,
still sobbing and full of fears and tears ..

You try to hide in your confused mind. Nodding, just to pretend
it's going to be ok.

But guess what,
problems may be resolved now, but believe me, another problem will surfice
again not maybe tomorrow but the next day.

It's a cycle.

It's a loop.


No, I am not being negative.
Look around you. It's happening everyday!

You gotta wake up!
Only movies got a happy ending!

( but dont believe me just yet. I'm almost there)


In the dictionary,

Noun: Problem
1. a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved


I hope you really are following me, because I accept I am not a good writer.


Pause...

Ok, example.

Right now, as I'm writing this blog, I have a problem.
I know, you too have a problem because you found yourself
in my blog while searching for something on the internet, right?

Small, little things in our mind that make us uncomfortable,
I consider it as a "problem".

Going back from what I said that I have a problem..

I am reaching in my forties and as I evaluate myself , on that age
without having my own car, home, savings or any other property
is for me quite a problem.

Steve Jobs- a technology icon with billions and billions in his bank account still got a problem..reaaaally big problem because his health is deteriorating..

A poor man's wish-- " I wished I have all the money to solve all this problems" stands to be useless when I feel and know that Steve Job's only wish right now is to be healed!

You see, problems are everywhere!

But do you know the TRUTH that you can stand above your probems??

Yes. It is possible!

It's happening to me and I'm gona share it with you today..


But oops...it's 12.17noon ..it's lunchtime and I'm quite hungry.
Hold on will be back after lunch.

Told you, I am not a good writer and Im no way fast so please you need to bear with me.

Thank you and BRB....

Life Above The Sun by Joseph Prince

Life Above The Sun by Joseph Prince

John 10:10
10… I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

When you are not enjoying abundant life, you will feel as if life is full of toil. In your heart, life is meaningless and empty. You feel like someone “grasping for the wind”. (Ecclesiastes 2:11)

It seems as if nothing you do adds up to much. The Bible calls this life “under the sun”. (Ecclesiastes 2:11) Someone who lives life under the sun may or may not know God, but God is either forgotten or not the center of things in his life. His thoughts are earthly and he does things to gratify his flesh. In the end, he finds life depressing and unfulfilled. Life under the sun is full of despair.

But this is not so with someone who lives life above the sun with God. For life with Him is filled with joy and pleasures at His right hand. (Psalm 16:11) Life is abundantly full and good just as Jesus promised — “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”.

When you live life above the sun, your thoughts are heavenward and you become Christ-occupied. You live for Him because you know that all things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16) When you live for His glory, your life takes on a new meaning and purpose.

God’s Word says, “And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” (Colossians 1:17) The Greek word for “consist” means “held together”. In Christ, all things are held together. And that is why when Christ is the central figure in your life, you will have it all together. Your mind will be held together. Your hopes and dreams will be held together. Your family will be held together by the cords of His love.

Your life will not be empty, but full of God’s goodness because “Christ in you, [is] the hope of glory”. (Colossians 1:27) It is a wonderful life — this life lived above the sun. And you will have an even more wonderful life to come in heaven!

Praying for Steve Jobs.
So sad his billions cant heal his cancer :(
Steve Jobs, if I talk to my God about your condition and then He will heal you even if you don't believe in Him.

Will you come back to Him?

Mmmmmm... Let me know ok.

I have mentioned you to Him and He is now listening.




‘Cancer-stricken’ Apple boss Steve Jobs may have just 6 weeks to live'



London, Feb 17: A tabloid has claimed that Apple founder, Steve Jobs, is stricken with pancreatic cancer and may have just six weeks to live.

The National Enquirer has published new pictures of the man behind the iPod, iPhone and iPad suggesting that the things are worse than Apple would have the world believe.

The new photos show Jobs looking painfully frail and weak, with his jeans and dark top hanging loosely on his 6ft 2in, rail-thin body.

Jobs weight is said to have dropped from a pre-cancer 175lb to 130lb now, according to the National Enquirer.

His thinning hair is a sign of the effects of the advanced chemotherapy usually used to treat the disease.

The photos, which were taken on February 8, showed Jobs going for breakfast with his wife Laurene Powell before heading to the Stanford Cancer Centre in California.

"Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks," the Daily Mail quoted critical care physician Dr Samuel Jacobson as saying.

"He is emaciated and looks to have lost a lot of muscle mass, which spells a poor prognosis," Jacobson added.

God is my Refuge!!

I am soooo blessed to have known this truth.
Where everything and everywhere there are floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, deadly and weird disease ready to attack anytime, Me and my loved ones are kept safe by our Heavenly Father.

God is forever my refuge.

Halleluyaaaah!

Read on and be blessed.

The Lord Is Your Refuge by Joseph Prince

Psalm 91:1–2
1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”

Every day, we are bombarded with news of conflicts, natural disasters, diseases and new strains of drug-resistant viruses. We also hear of people losing their loved ones in freak accidents. And we ask ourselves, “Is there a place where I can take refuge from a world gone mad?”

Yes, there is! God foresaw all these things and He has promised in His Word protection from every evil known to man. There is no trap set by the devil that our Father cannot deliver us from, if we trust in Him and take Him as our refuge. That is His promise in Psalm 91.

Whether it is an earthquake at midnight, a crazy sniper, an unknown virus or a terrorist attack, God says, “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.” (Psalm 91:5–6)

Because you have made Him your dwelling place, angels are watching over you right now. (Psalm 91:9–11) They give heed to the voice of God’s Word, so you should give voice to God’s Word. This means that you should agree with and speak what God’s Word says about His preserving and protecting you. Then, angels are sent to minister for you. (Hebrews 1:14)

My friend, don’t say, “If it can happen to them, it can also happen to me!” Say, “A thousand may fall at my side and 10,000 at my right hand, but it will not come near me!” (Psalm 91:7) The world says that you cannot but expect danger all around. God says, “You are in this world but not of this world. You have My protection because you are of Me and in Me.” (John 17:14–23)

You have access by faith into the secret place of the Most High where no evil can touch you. There is no need to fear living in the end times because the Lord is your refuge and fortress. His Word says so. And those who trust His Word completely find His Word completely true!

Justin Bieber - PRAY [video]

I love this song from Justin Bieber. He is a cool kid and
I pray he will come to know Jesus soon. :)

Chasing Happiness Is No Fun!

Last Sunday I was so blessed enough to be able to watch Chingay 2011 here in Singapore... I was just along the road taking this pictures.




It's an annual float parade that brings in lots of fun and priceless moments.

It's breathtaking and the colours it shows you make you wana jump, dance
and celebrate life!

Its energy it brings is contagious!












































































Awesome right?

But guess what.

The excitement that I felt that day is just temporary.

It won't last. That's why you need to take pictures or videos to document
the event so one day, you will have something to smile about by just looking at the pictures/videos.

You see and I know that you know,
Happiness....comes and goes...

It doesn't last.

That's why people are trying so hard to tame it.

Me?

I've stopped chasing "happiness".

...because in this world, all I need is lasting joy.

Happiness comes from the word "happ-enings" ..
It depends on what's going on around you which are
unstable, shaky and temporary.

Joy comes from within.

Joy is lasting and consistent no matter what's happening around you.
No matter what your circumstances are.

I remember when my father and sister passed away,
My friends and colleagues seem to feel that I got this peace
and joy within me that they mistakenly praised me for being strong.

No. I wasn't strong. I knew that time, Jesus was lifting me up and filling my sorrow with unexplainable peace and joy...

I am smiling while typing this out..:)
I couldn't imagine myself getting out from that situation alone.
Jesus must have carried me all the way. ...just like the story of
"Footprints in the Sand."


Halleluyaaaah!

Mmmm. I just need to tell you this, wherever you are, and whatever it is that you're doing and still you end up empty ....

try Jesus...

Keep asking for His eternal peace and joy...

You need it in each of your waking life.. Promise..:)

Hope you enjoyed my photos..

Don't forget to Like us in Facebook for we need encouragement each day...

Have a blessed day!

I am Forgiven. You are forgiven. Just believe.

My Daily Verse:

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us

 

and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 

(1 John 4:10)

"I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?" 
— C.S. Lewis

Blessed Is Everything That Comes Forth From You by Joseph Prince

Blessed Is Everything That Comes Forth From You by Joseph Prince

Deuteronomy 28:4
4Blessed shall be the fruit of your body…

The Bible records that Jesus’ spit healed a blind man (Mark 8:23–25), Peter’s shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:15), and handkerchiefs and aprons from Paul’s body drove out evil spirits and diseases. (Acts 19:11–12) This tells us that what comes forth from our bodies can be so blessed that it brings about blessings and miracles to others.

Indeed, God said, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body…” He was not just referring to your children, or He would have simply said, “Blessed shall be your children.” No, God meant that everything that proceeds from your body will be blessed. All that is of and from your body will be of top-notch quality!

This includes your health. So even if your doctor has said that you have a particular medical condition in your body, just believe that God calls your health, the fruit of your body, blessed. And expect to walk continuously in divine health!

God calls your thinking ability, the fruit of your body, blessed too. You will impress your teachers and schoolmates in school with your mental prowess, or your superiors and colleagues at work with your innovative ideas and solutions. Your mental faculties will be of quality par excellence!

If you are married, you will enjoy a truly blessed marriage and a fulfilling sex life with your spouse. A secular song that laments, “I can’t get no satisfaction…” will never be true for you because God calls your marital relationship (both the emotional and physical parts of it), the fruit of your body, blessed!

If you are a parent, God calls your children, the fruit of your body, blessed. This means that they are special, having exceptional qualities. So the child you are taking care of is not just a child. You are holding a champion in your hands. He will grow up to be a general in God’s kingdom!

Beloved, because Jesus has paid the price — His body was beaten, scourged and pierced for you, all these blessings are yours. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body!

Proclamation Against Egypt in the Bible

Pastor Joseph Prince shared this Bible verse in the service yesterday.

Indeed,
The Bible has the future!

The burden against Egypt.

Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
“ I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

Isaiah 19:1-2

No matter what your current circumstances are, just keep going to church.

Keep believing in Him
and you will be ok.

Trust me. I have been there. Done that!

Discerning The Lord’s Body by Joseph Prince

Discerning The Lord’s Body by Joseph Prince

1 Corinthians 11:24
24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

Have you ever taken a close look at the Matzah bread that the Jews eat during their Passover meal? The bread, which is unleavened, is pierced with rows of little holes forming stripes. It is also slightly burnt. Many churches today use this bread for the Holy Communion.

Do you know why the bread is pierced, striped and burnt?

My friend, the bread that you hold in your hands when you partake of the Lord’s Supper speaks of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ when He bore our sins and sicknesses on the cross.

Like the bread, He was pierced in His brow by the crown of thorns as well as in His hands and feet by the nails. He was also pierced in His side by a soldier’s spear. The prophet Isaiah says, “He was pierced for our transgressions…” (Isaiah 53:5, NIV)

Like the bread, He was scourged on His back until His flesh was all torn and bloody, and His bones were exposed, so that today, you can say, “By His stripes I am healed!” (Isaiah 53:5)

What about the burnt marks on the bread? The full fire of God’s wrath fell on Jesus, burning up our sins into ashes, and at the same time, bringing out the fragrance of the offering of Jesus. Today, your sins and lawless deeds are but ashes, and your Father in heaven remembers them no more! (Hebrews 8:12)

So the next time you partake of the bread during the Holy Communion, know that Jesus was pierced for your sins and scourged for your healing. He bore God’s fiery judgment so that you will never be judged for your sins! He also bore your diseases and carried your pains so that you can walk in divine health!

When you discern these precious truths about our Lord’s body, you are partaking of the Holy Communion in a worthy manner. And you will not be weak and sickly, nor die before your time. (1 Corinthians 11:27–30) No, you will be strong and healthy, and you will live long!

The Power Of Your Words by Joseph Prince

The Power Of Your Words by Joseph Prince

Proverbs 18:21
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Most people, when they desperately want something, will say things like, “I am dying for that piece of cake!” Few will say, “I am living for that piece of cake!”

What is worse is that we are quick to mention death when things go wrong. We Singaporeans are quick to say things like, “Die lah! Die lah!” at the drop of a hat. Nobody says, “Live lah! Live lah!”

Yet, the truth is that every word you speak has power — to build or destroy hopes and dreams, to restore or cause loss, to heal or break the spirit, to bring delight or despair, to bless or curse — for God’s Word says that death and life are in the power of the tongue.

So stop lining your words up with the negative circumstances. Instead, start lining your words up with God’s Word and release the power of His Word to work for you.

For example, instead of speaking lack and poverty, say, “God’s Word tells me that the good things are already here. I therefore pronounce my life blessed. I pronounce my life prosperous. I pronounce my life great. Darkness and gloom, poverty and sickness, defeat and depression, will not be in my life!”

Instead of speaking sickness and death, say, “I will live long. I will not die young. Jesus died young for me so that I can live long for Him. I am the righteousness of God in Christ and God’s Word declares that no evil befalls the righteous. So no evil will come on me now and in the future!”

Instead of speaking fear over your children, say, “God’s Word declares that the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Therefore, my children are delivered from every curse, every power of darkness and every evil. In the name of Jesus, I call forth a great, bright and blessed future for my children!”

God wants you to have a life filled with good days and an abundance of every good thing. So say, “In the name of Jesus, I command blessings, favor, health, prosperity, protection, dominion and power to fill my life!”

Peace Amidst The Storm

Amidst the noise and confusions the world loves to throw in my life,

The shaking, stress, little problems here and there, frustrations, boredom.

My peace...

My truly unexplainable joy

My restoration.

My healing.


It's thru Jesus!

:)

Thank you Jesus.

Indeed, Your "Truth" has set me free!

Good morning everyone!

Whatever's bugging you right now, all I can say is just talk it out to Jesus. He loves to communicate with you. Don't worry if sometimes it feels silly. For me, it's sillier when u worry. Ok?

Have a blessed day!

God Helps The Helpless by Joseph Prince

The world tells you,
"God helps those who help themselves. "

I was really uncomfortable on this phrase. What if you've done the best you could and still you find yourself helpless on the ground.
Who's gona help you now?
Who's gona pick you up because the world says "God helps those who help themselves. "?

I say, it's still God.

Because I found out this beautiful truth that God helps the helpless and those who keeps calling on Him for refuge, restoration, healing and protection!

Halleluyaaaaaah!!!

Read on...
God Helps The Helpless by Joseph Prince

Psalm 63:7
7Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

I have had people tell me, “Pastor Prince, please pray for me. I can’t see a way out of the mess I am in. I know that this whole thing is my fault. Right now, I don’t even know whether God will hear my prayers.”

If you think about it, a whole lot of our troubles are of our own making. But it is when we deserve the punishment and not the blessing that we can receive grace — the undeserved favor and unmerited help of God!

When we stop trying to be deserving of God’s help, we find God more than willing to be our Savior. But when we continue to try to work things out, we are trying to be our own saviors. God will say, “Save yourself because I can’t help you when you don’t need My help.”

You might be thinking, “But Pastor Prince, don’t you know, God helps those who help themselves?”

Contrary to popular belief, this saying that “God helps those who help themselves” is not in the Bible! God does not help those who help themselves. He helps those who are helpless and dependent on Him. He helps those who look to Him as their only source of help for their problem.

If you say, “My problem is that I am weak.” God says, “That is not a problem. I am your strength.” If you say, “Lord, my face is the problem. I am ugly.” God says, “My face will shine on yours. I am your glory.” If you say, “Lord, I am the problem. I am a nobody.” God says, “I will make you a somebody.”

Unfortunately, many of us are still trying to help ourselves, thinking that for certain matters, we don’t really need God. But God says, “Without Me, you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Do we really believe that? Or do we believe that without Him, we can still do some things to help ourselves?

Only when we realize that we can do nothing, and are nothing in and of ourselves, can we do all things through Christ who strengthens us! (Philippians 4:13) Then, we will see the undeserved, unmerited help and favor of God deliver us from every evil!

Mere Christianity notes

I stumbledupon this little notes of "Mere Christianity" from C.S. Lewis.

I am blessed by it.
May it bless and pour wisdom n you too.

"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."
— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)

I love this daily devotional from Joseph Prince.

You know for years, I was in bonded.
I longed to worship and wanted to get to know who God really is but sad to say, some "religous", self-righteous preachers prevented me from doing so.
They demanded too much from me which got me so frustrated and depressed.
Exposed from wrong Christian teachings, I told God ,"Hey, if you want alot of stuffs from me.
If you keep demanding alot of things from me then I might as well go away. Because you know that I have NOTHING to give you! You know that I will always fail you! "

So, for years, I went to live on this earth alone.

But like I said on my past blogs, life on earth as it ages became so empty, heavy and dangerous. So on these shaky moments, I seeked for refuge. Then I found myself talking to God again.

I asked God,
"Where are you? If you're for real then lead me to you..."

Fastforward to present..

Im here... Smiling at you. :)

I know God answered my question because life right now
has become so beautiful!

And awesome that all I wana do is to worship Him all day!

The secret is...

Just talk to God as you are.

Worship Him as you are.

Be yourself.

No pretensions. Fears. Worries. Etc.

For God knows you can never perfect. That's why He sent Jesus
to die for you on the cross so you can be perfect in His eyes!

Halleluyaaaah!

Thank you Jesus because in You I found my righteousness.

With you I am superclean, sin- free and beautiful.

Thank you Joseph Prince for leading me to the Truth that sets me free!

Happy and blessed Monday everyone!

Worship God As You Are by Joseph Prince

Ephesians 5:27
27that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Have you been to a worship service where you stood with your hands raised, ready to worship God, only to hear the worship leader say, “Before we worship God, let’s all search our hearts”? Then, as you search your heart, before long, you dig up something that you don’t like. The next thing you know, your hands are no longer raised and soon, you find yourself sitting down — you don’t feel good worshiping God any more.

My friend, I have good news for you. Come and worship Him as you are. Come into God’s presence Jesus-conscious, forgiveness-conscious and grace-conscious! Come into God’s presence bringing only Jesus the spotless Lamb of God as your offering.

Your worshiping God is like the times God’s people in the Old Testament brought their offerings to the priest. The priest examined the animal sacrifice to ensure that it was without blemish. The priest did not examine the sinner. If the animal was without blemish, God accepted the animal sacrifice as well as the offerer who brought the animal.

So when you come into God’s presence, don’t do any self-examination and be discouraged when you find faults in your life. God does not examine you. He sees you through the full value, and all the loveliness and acceptance of His Son. (Ephesians 1:6) He sees you holy and without blemish!

Remember the woman who was referred to as a sinner, possibly a prostitute? She went to the house of the Pharisee who was hosting Jesus and wiped Jesus’ feet with her hair. (Luke 7:36–50) That was her act of worship.

She came to Him as she was. Yes, she knew that she had sinned, but she worshiped Jesus first because of who He is. She was Jesus-conscious. Then, she heard Jesus say, “Your sins are forgiven.” (Luke 7:48) She received the forgiveness she needed from Him.

Whatever you need from the Savior, come to Him as you are. Worship Him for who He is and then you will hear Him say, “Go your way. Your restoration has come. Your prosperity is here. You are healed. You have been made whole!”

Everlasting Righteousness by Joseph Prince

Everlasting Righteousness by Joseph Prince

Daniel 9:24
24“Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness…

On Sunday, we hear a message that says, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” On Monday, we are still confessing, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” But come Wednesday or Thursday, we begin to confess our sins! Then, when Sunday comes, we get a fresh revelation of our righteousness in Christ and we start to confess our righteousness again. Why do we do that?

It cannot be that on Sunday, we are righteous. Then, a few days later, we become unrighteous because of sin, but are “re-righteoused” when Sunday comes again. No, our righteousness is an “everlasting righteousness”! Jesus has obtained “eternal redemption” for us. (Hebrews 9:12)

“But Pastor Prince, I have just sinned. How can I still be righteous?”

My friend, it is not what you do that makes you righteous. It is what Christ has done at Calvary. Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s [Adam] disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” It is the obedience of one Man — Christ — and not your obedience, that has made you righteous!

God wants you established in what Christ has done. He wants you conscious of your everlasting righteousness in Christ. How do you do that? You can listen to anointed messages that remind you of your righteousness in Christ. And don’t just know it in your head. Speak it. Every morning, tell yourself, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ!” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

You don’t need a revelation of how sinful you are. You know it when you sin. The devil reminds you of your sins. Even your friends and loved ones sometimes point out your sins. What you need, instead, is a revelation of how forever righteous you are in God’s eyes, especially when you sin.

And when you are conscious of this gift of righteousness that is everlasting, you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17) You will reign over sin, bad habits, sicknesses, lack and everything that holds you back from a victorious life!
