Restfully Productive by Joseph Prince

Meditate On

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew 11:28–30
Restfully Productive
When you read about Jesus in the Gospels, you’ll find that He was very active. He preached, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons and dealt wisely with the cunning Pharisees. Yet, in doing all these things, Jesus was always very restful. He was never worried, stressed out or desperate.

When He and His disciples were in a boat on their way to the country of the Gadarenes, a fierce storm arose. The disciples panicked, believing that the boat was going to sink them all into a watery grave. But what was Jesus doing? He was fast asleep! The gusty winds, violent lashing of the waves and rocking of the boat didn’t wake Him up—only the cry of His disciples did. What did He do next? He rebuked the storm and brought perfect peace!

When they arrived at their destination, a fierce, severely demon-possessed man came out from the tombs and met Jesus. His disciples, who were with Him in the boat, were suddenly nowhere near Him. But Jesus, cool as usual, stood His ground and with one word—“Go”—sent the demons fleeing (Matthew 8:32). He brought peace to the man, restored to him a sound mind and gave him wholeness.

My friend, this Jesus who is restful yet so effective lives in you. Look to Him and be yoked to Him. Ask Him to lead and guide you each day. Flow with Him and you will find an inner rest and peace that enables you to be effective and fruitful wherever you are!

Jesus Was Born To Save You by JosephPrince

Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10–11
Born To Save You by JosephPrince


Meditate on the first words of heaven to man at the beginning of the New Testament: Don’t be afraid.

What encouraging, hope-giving and empowering words of grace! And what were these precious words a prelude to? The proclamation that Jesus would come to be our Savior.

My friend, whatever you are facing today, hear heaven’s encouragement to you—“Do not be afraid.” Do not be fearful. Do not be discouraged. Why? Because Jesus is your Savior.

He came to be your Savior. He didn’t come to be your judge to condemn and punish you. He didn’t come as a lawgiver to give you more laws to fulfill. No, He came to be your SAVIOR. That’s what Jesus is and wants to be to you.

So what does a savior do? If you’re drowning, will a savior condemn you for having fallen into the water and laugh at you for not knowing how to swim? Will a savior throw you an instruction book on how to swim? Of course not! He will jump right in to save you, no questions asked!

Beloved, when it comes to saving you from whatever puts fear in your heart, Jesus is the best there is in the entire universe. He didn’t come just to save you from hell just so you can enter heaven when you pass from this earth. No, He wants to save you every day from anything and everything that you need saving from! See His mighty hand reaching out to you, powered by a heart that has no condemnation, but only love for you!

Feeling Discourge?

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

Why Jesus Became One Of Us
By Joseph Prince

Have you ever wondered why, when God came down to us, He had to take on the form of human flesh? My friend, it’s so that He could become our kinsman Redeemer.

You see, in ancient Israel, if you had lost your land or something through poverty or bad debts, it’s possible to have someone buy it back or redeem it for you. However, that person had to meet three conditions. Firstly, he had to be a relative of yours. Secondly, he had to be wealthy enough to buy back the land. Thirdly, and most importantly, he had to be willing to do it.

My friend, Jesus came down to us in human flesh so that He could fulfill the first condition, that is, become our relative or one of us. Now, do you think that as King of the universe, He had the means to buy back all that we’ve lost? Yes, of course, but most importantly, He was willing to it—and He demonstrated this with outstretched arms at the cross!

Beloved, have you lost your health? Have you lost your peace of mind? Have you lost your direction in life? Jesus, your willing kinsman Redeemer, can redeem it all for you. Look to Him and not man. Let Him restore to you all that you’ve lost and even bless you with more than you had before!

The Real Meaning of Christmas

I am so blessed to know the real meaning of Christmas.

It is not having parties, drinking around or just be naturally happy.

Being rich is just an added bonus. But no. I am not saying I am a millionaire or have all the richest in the world. Not just yet. But soon. All because of Jesus.

Right now, I have troubles on my own. Financial problems that need to be resolved.

But let me tell you straight...

Right now, with all these in hand,
I am not scared. Because I know the Lord our God is with me. (Emmanuel). And not against me and so He will do things for my own good. It might be a little shaky but it's ok. As long as Jesus is in the boat, I will get to the destination where He always wants me to be.


Christmas is all about Jesus.

It's about God's love for us through Jesus.

Yes. That simple.

You can spread all your love by showing this love to your loved ones and to other people who needs it the most. That's good.
But above all these things
Christmas is all about Him.

I heard some people who are going through alot at this moment and they would say,"I don't think I can celebrate Christmas.it's too tough for me to celebrate it. "

I would say,"Why not?"
This is the best time that you should celebrate it with Him. Because He came just for you including all your problems.

Jesus who came down on earth as a child to save the world. To save us His children.

You see, if you're like me at this very moment that is going through tough times. Let's hug each other while looking up to our savior.

He will never forsake us because He came down as a man here on earth, again, to SAVE US. So do not fear. God loves you and me so much that He won't let a thing, come down to "kill us". Read PSALM 91 as a proof of His promise.

The real meaning of Christmas is not just happiness when you're happy.

The real meaning of Christmas is celebrating it with pure joy and peace, inspite of everything that's happening around you. Because you know You have Jesus in Your life for real and this time NOTHING can defeat you.

When Jesus was born, you are already standing on a Victory ground !!!

Keep this truth in your heart and mind.

For this will surely give you unshakeable peace that no man can steal from you.

Be blessed on this day my friend.

Jesus loves you and He is celebrating this remarkable moment with you.

Just keep on thanking and praising Him.

Merry Christmas and talk soon.

Always Ask Jesus for His Guidance

In life, you will always have the drive to do things in so many different ways. Firstly, based on your dreams, emotions or the way you are exposed to people.

You will always have someone to follow or take an advice on.

For security reasons, you may might want to follow the trends or what other people are doing based on their success.

I say, that's ok.

But if sometimes, you will get to a point that you're tired of doing it all over again , with your own strength and efforts. Then it's time to seek the Lord's advice.

I will get straight to the point.

Our Father knows what He wants for you. He has declared in the Bible, that He always want whats best for you. He doesn't want to harm you or destroy. He only wants to give you hope and a good future.

Check it out in one of my fave verses Jeremiah 29:11. You will see your future from there.

Embrace it. Put it in your pocket. Read or meditate on it everyday.

Yes. I know. You always go through some challenges along the way. But be rest assured those are just temporary.

With Jesus' guidance,
Definitley , you will always be on the right track.

How To Erase Doubts About God

If everytime you find yourself in fear about what's going to happen in your future, career,relationships,business ventures. Say this out loud.




It works everytime!

You need to get back to God's promises in the Bible.

That's why those verses are in there.

It's His covenant to us.

So, use it. Overuse it. Abuse it!

It's yours to keep.

Jeremiah 29:11 is for you!

Jesus is our Provider

Just an update, my partner is back at home now. Recovering.

I say "Halleluyaaaaah!"

Guess what... It was a miracle.

Confirmed!! God was working through her.

For days, the doctors couldn't figure out the source of her bleeding, so one night , before her surgery, I prayed like this...

"Bleeder, whatever you are, you MUST show up tomorrow before the doctor's will open her up. You have no right to stay in her body. Because her body now belongs to Jesus. And no one can touch it except for His glory. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen!!!

Then, yes!!!

The doctor's never performed surgery on her!

They found what seems to be the bleeder. Have burnt and clipped it and voila!

I'm truly awed by His POWER!

Halleluyah!


Now, our next "problem" that we are facing is her hospital bills.

Here in Singapore, it's so expensive to be hospitalised.
No wonder, one cab driver have told me, if one is ever hospitalised here in Singapore, it's better to die than you end up paying all these bills.

No!

Not us because we have Jesus!
We are highly favoured and deeply loved! Our bill has reached 34,000SGD. Imagine that?

But I am not scared. Yes I'm worried abit but that has cleared it all up when Jesus said in the Bible,
"For we are not given the spirit of fear but of love,of kindness, of joy, and of peace. Halleluyaaaah!!!!

I believe, Jesus is our provider.

So if you are having financial problems right now just like me,
Let's declare this.

"Jesus , we thank You Lord You are our Shepherd. You shall not leave us in wants or in needs. Because as our Heavenly Father, You shall provide us of what we need. Thank You Lord for the coming blessings. Thank You also for protecting our family and loved ones...Yes! You are mighty to save us in this situation Lord. Thank You!!! "

Pause.


Smile.


His miracle is coming. :)
