The Good Life Without The Sweat by Joseph Prince

Mmmm....
The world tells you to work hard to have success.

I did it for years.
I worked hard...spent most of my time at work... almost neglecting my loved ones fearing that I'd lose whatever I thought that could make well.

But...

I failed.

Yes. I worked hard for the "money"...

I might be having a different frame of mind but

deep in my heart, i felt something wasn't right.

I didn't like it that way.

Fastforward to this day,

Now, I stand to the truth that God has His own ways of prospering His people.

A prosperity that doesn't affect one's relationship to either family, loved ones, friends or colleagues.

A prosperity that could make you well physically, mentally, emotinaly and spiritual.

No stress, full of REST and only good days!

That kind of "Prosperity" can only be given by God to His Children.

I am one of His children and I'm gona keep claiming it.

I sooooo love this TRUTH!

Go on now. Read on and be blessed!

The Good Life Without The Sweat by Joseph Prince

Matthew 6:26
26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?


Most people are of the opinion that the good life does not happen without hard work and buckets of sweat. They believe that to achieve success, you first need to have this educational certificate, that professional qualification, this particular job and that many years of hard work. I have good news for you: God has a better way.

We all must work, but the world wants you to believe that there is a natural process of sowing, reaping and gathering, accompanied by waiting, toiling and stress, before the good life actually comes. But God says, “My people do not need to go through this natural process to enjoy the good life for they are not of this world’s system. They can operate out of My economy and I can give them the good life straightaway!”

In the same way that God feeds the birds which do not go through the sow-then-reap-then-gather system of the world, He wants to and will do much more for you!

Your heavenly Father wants you to know the generosity of His heart toward you and how much He wants to make you successful. A case in point is what happened to a church member who believed this truth. After leaving his previous job, he trusted God to provide him with a better one. Within just four months, he found himself heading two companies.

His newly formed distribution company not only clinched a major project in Singapore, but was also made the principal distributor in Southeast Asia for a popular line of products from the United States. His second company, which provided consultancy services, was given two projects by a Korean and a Hong Kong company for a six-figure consultancy fee in US dollars.

Today, God wants you to know that you are not of the world’s system. You are of the kingdom of God — the same kingdom that feeds the birds that do not toil, but simply trust their Creator for all their provisions in life. Be convinced that you are of more value to your heavenly Father than the birds, and let Him give you the good life without the toiling and laboring of the world.





Thought of The Day


Operate out of God’s economy by trusting His heart for you, and enjoy the good life.

When It Is More Blessed To Receive by Joseph Prince

Thank you...

Let me share this daily devotional from Joseph Prince before I doze off. I know it's too early. Well, it's 11:55pm here Singapore time.

When It Is More Blessed To Receive by Joseph Prince

Luke 10:42
42… Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

If Jesus comes to your home, what would you do? Would you ask Him to sit down and then start serving Him? Or would you sit down and start drawing from Him? Would you let Him serve you and fill you up?

Jesus walked into the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary. (Luke 10:38) Martha saw His weariness. She knew that Jesus had been walking for miles, going about doing good, healing the sick and meeting the people’s needs. Obviously, He must be tired, she thought, so she saw Him as someone she had to care for.

Mary, however, saw beyond Jesus’ external weariness into His divinity. She saw that He was someone she needed to draw from. And by doing that, she made Him feel like God — the Savior who had come to serve her and not to be served by her. (Matthew 20:28) Jesus even commended her for choosing the better portion!

Our human minds just find that hard to believe. Some people tell me, “But Pastor Prince, the Bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) When it comes to man, that is true. But when it comes to God, He wants to give. In fact, unless you learn how to receive from God, you will have nothing to give to man.

Which sister gave Jesus the sweeter feast and filled Him up? Martha who was busy preparing food for Him? Or Mary who sat still and drew deeply from Him? It was Mary. She made Jesus feel a sense of His divine glory. She allowed Jesus to be the giver, to be God.

Like Martha, we always reverse the roles. We somehow think that God needs our service, but He actually wants to fill us first. Mary’s ears and heart were more precious to Jesus than Martha’s hands and feet.

We use our ears and hearts to draw from Jesus. We use our hands and feet to serve Him, and there is a place for that. But our sense and appreciation of God’s divine fullness is more precious to Him than all the service we can render Him. And when you draw from Him, you cannot help but become a great giver and server.

Day 4 as a Property Agent

Day 4 of my training as a Property Agent here in Singapore.

It's not easy.

Disappointments here and there.

Last minute cancelled viewing.

Some rude agents.

Fussy landlords.

Calls. Calls. Calls. And alot of calls.

Sms. Sms. Sms. And a lot of sms.

Whew!

Things can happen.
Some events maybe are disappointing
that in my heart it may prompt me anytime to just stop and find another easy boring 8-5day job.

It's easy to do that. Yes.
But well that's NOT me.

For now, giving up is not in my mind yet.

I have prayed to Jesus to give me the desire to make it in this journey. If this is not for me, He will tell me.
If it's for me, you'll see.

Am I disappointed today?

Yes. I am.

But that emotion wont stop me.

It's temporary.

Why do I know?

Because my heart tells me so.

I may not have closed the viewing tonight but it's alright.

I've made some few agent friends to expand my network.

That alone to me.. is priceless.

PLUS.

Jesus is with me.

That's the best assurance that I have. :)

Iron Sharpens Iron by Joel Osteen

Today’s Verse: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17, NIV).

Today’s Word:

One of the best things I’ve learned is that God does not bring people into my life so I can make them just like me. God wants us to be different. He’s given us different personalities, different strengths, different hobbies and different looks. He’s made us all different so we can sharpen one another and cause each other to rise up higher in life.

If you’re going to be happy and enjoy your relationships, you’ve got to learn how to appreciate the differences and learn from the people in your life. If you don’t focus on the right things, you’ll end up allowing the little irritations to cause you to become resentful. Remember, nobody is perfect. If you’re going to grow, you’ve got to be willing to overlook some things. Our assignment is not to fix people. Our assignment is to love people. Our assignment is to sharpen one another so we can move forward in the good plan God has prepared.

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for the people You have placed in my life. Help me see them the way You see them. Help me to appreciate the ways we sharpen one another so that we can help each other fulfill Your plan for our lives. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Seek First God’s Kingdom by Joseph Prince

Like everyone else in this world..

Of course...
I want a great success in life...

Through all the years, I wanted to become like this and that but to no avail. My enthusiasm and excitement withers and needed to a stop.

So now,
I have come think and simply put it NOT on one side but on the Lord's side.

I may still want to do a lot of things and become a lot of "person" to everyone in this world like becoming a professional photographer, film maker, music producer and now a property agent here in Singapore ...

but

From now on,
I will leave it all to Him to decide ..

For sure, He knows where I'm best at.

If becoming a property agent here in Singapore is where my future lies,


I just pray,

" Lord, please keep giving me the desire which never wavers "

...and the rest will follow.

For now, all I needed to do is to get soak in His Words.

That's my vitamin.

Enjoy my vitamin for today.
:)

Seek First God’s Kingdom by Joseph Prince

Matthew 6:31–33
31“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

As a child of God, know that it is your Father’s pleasure to meet all your needs. Jesus Himself tells us, “For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” But God does not want you to seek after things. He wants you to seek first His kingdom. And when you do that, all the things that you need will be added to you!

So your first priority every day is to seek His kingdom. The word “first” in verse 33 is the Greek word proton, which means “first in order or importance, holding the highest place in all our affections”. My friend, God wants us to seek first His kingdom, and all things will fall gloriously in place.

We are not to seek after things the way Gentiles do. The word “seek” in “the Gentiles seek” (verse 32) is the Greek word epizeteo. It means “to seek with all their might with much sweat or with much stress”. However, the way God wants us to “seek” in “seek first the kingdom of God” is the Greek word zeteo, which means “to hunger, to desire to worship”. It is simply a hungering, a desiring for the kingdom of God, without any labor or toil.

But what is the kingdom of God? Romans 14:17 tells us that it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And the kingdom of God dwells within you because the Holy Spirit indwells you. So the kingdom of God is His righteousness, peace and joy in you.

Beloved, if you want to have peace and joy in the Holy Spirit flowing inside you, then seek every day to be conscious of your righteousness in Christ, not your own righteousness, but His righteousness given to you as a gift. Pursue Jesus first. Spend time with Him and listen to His Word. And when you do these things, you are seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the things that you need will be added to you!

My Daily Verse- 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

My Daily Verse
“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:20-22)
