I stumbled this YouTube video recently and decided to blog about it.
Did you know that the top 8 on American Idol sang Shout To The Lord twice?
First they sang it on April 9th starting the song with My Shepherd. Then then on April 10th, they sang it again but this time they started with My Jesus. Watched by millions around the world, this is a great step forward, indirectly spreading the gospel. And a very cool move by FOX for letting them do it the 2nd night with the full version. This was awesome. Praise God!
I just make a donation of just 1k RM to the Thai orphans through Pastor Cheah Chee Moon. His dream is to ensure the homeless children under his care in Chiang Rai, Thailand, acquire a sound education. To achieve this, the 46-year-old Penangite recently embarked on a fund-raising mission to collect money for the schooling expenditure of the 56 children in his centre, called Agape Home. Riding a 30-year-old Honda Cub, Cheah travelled from Thailand to Singapore through the west coast of peninsula Malaysia.
“I am hoping that people will generously donate a ringgit for every kilometre covered.” said Cheah, who expects to have ridden about 6,000km by the time he returns to Thailand. Cheah’s involvement with orphaned and destitute children in Thailand began in 1984 when he went there as a missionary worker.
He found that there were far too many of them, some ending on the streets after both their parents succumbed to AIDS. “Some of these children were also HIV-positive and needed special care,” said Cheah. “My heart went out to them and I decided to take up the challenge of giving them a better life.”
He added that these street children had little opportunity in life and no way of acquiring an education. After years of working hard as a missionary to take care of their needs, he set up Agape Home several years ago to take in destitute children and give them a proper education.
According to Cheah, he wanted the children in Agape Home to go as far as possible academically. “Once they are well-educated, they will be able to take good care of themselves,” said Cheah, who runs the home with the help of four workers. He said homeless children had better opportunities in Malaysia compared to Thailand as there were many centres in Malaysia catering to their needs.
Cheah can be contacted at 016-408 3401 or call 012-227 2289 (Pastor Albert Ong). For security purpose, I am not putting the bank account number here or the bank account name. Just send Pastor Cheah a message and he will sms you the banking details to make the donation for a worthy cause helping the orphaned kids.
Here is a youtube video showing the queue to New Creation Church about one and a half hours before the service starts. Imagine such hunger to hear God’s word being preached by Pastor Joseph Prince, a modern day very annointed prophet and preacher. And they are not queuing up for ang pows or some free gifts from Her World magazine.
In fact, one of the shop owners got so curious what people are queueing up for that she decided to join in the crowd and then became a Christian and accepted Christ into her life. That’s the living testimony of how people came to know this dynamic church that preaches to the whole world, United States included via satellite TV. And this was my former church when I was still in Singapore. I really missed not being able to attend in person the 4 services on Sundays. If you happen to be reading this and is in Singapore, just check up on newcreation.org.sg for the time of the service and make sure you don’t miss it. I promise you won’t regret it.
I have been amazed at the success of Pastor Joseph Prince’s preaching to the world. He is the senior pastor of New Creation Church in Singapore. From a mere 100 plus members, New Creation Church has grown to be about 15,000 members now. It has the largest Hokkien service in Singapore with more than one thousand members.
Why do people love Pastor Prince? For one, Pastor Joseph Prince has received word of healing, word of faith from the Holy Spirit. He is very much in tune and walks closely with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I mean, this guy really listens and receives fresh manna from heaven. You could say he is a modern day prophet. And whatever he says has come to pass and people who listen to him have made money. Sometimes he drops nuggets of gold to his congregation by telling them when to buy gold for instance, at the right time and when to invest money. Not only were people made richer, some of them have been healed from sickness and terminal cases. Though not everyone has been healed, but the fact that many were healed listening and following his teachings, speaks volumns of his annointedness.
I still continue to buy his teaching CDs, music CDs, sermons and books from his web site in NewCreation.org.sg Indeed Pastor Prince is extremely annointed and blessed. Recently he has paid 100 million singapore dollars downpayment for a new iconic building for his growing congregation in Singapore. If you think he is a cult leader, definitely people around the world won’t be fooled by him. He preaches to USA, Uganda, India and a few other countries around the world via tv satellite. Now you Singaporeans are very lucky to be able to catch Pastor Prince live in New Creation Church. Though the queue is very long, but it is well worth it.
I came back from KL last night after 4 days staying in Subang Jaya for business and also to attend my friend’s niece’s wedding dinner in 5-star Nikko Hotel in Ampang, near to KLCC. Below are some of the beautiful photos taken during the trip.
Here is a nice Christmas house with trees in Sunway Pyramid shopping mall in Subang Jaya. You can hardly find such beautiful decorations in Penang.
Another view of the attractive Christmas tree with presents and golden baubles.
Lights lighted up during the night for Christmas season in Sunway Pyramid.
A Christmas Snowman.
More Christmas window shopping.
More Christmas trees.
This is a giant Christmas tree of lights in the lobby of Nikko Hotel.
On our way back from Nikko Hotel, I took the liberty to snap this photo of Petronas Twin Towers at night in KLCC which was very near to the Hotel.
All women are daughters of Sarah, wife of Abraham. When Sarah was 60 years old, Pharoah, King of Egypt wanted her to be in his harem. She was beautiful in her old age. And when Sarah reached 90 years of age, Abimelech, king of Gerar, wanted her in his harem as well. Sarah’s youth was literally renewed like the eagles. Even at the age of 90, a king wanted her and she had the strength and youth to conceive seed. God renewed Sarah’s youth and opened her womb to conceive Isaac at 91 years old. She was physically attractive and looked young in her golden years. Imagine, two kings wanted Sarah to be in their harems and she must have looked very attractive to them physically. This is not spiritual renewal that you cannot see but tangible and real. Thank goodness, all women are daughters of Sarah and we need to wait upon the Lord to renew our youth.
You might be wondering what those two terms above mean. Well, Eschatology is defined as the study of events on earth that leads to the establishment of God’s final kingdom. On the other hand, missiology is the study of strategies and initiatives that determines the final population of God’s kingdom.
Hence, Eschatology + Missiology = Our Destiny.
Basically, a kingdom requires a king, a territory and subjects. What happens when you have a king, subjects but no territory? A refugee camp!
God established himself a kingdom through creation. Adam and Eve were the first man and woman God created. When Eve sinned, Adam suffered from temporary lapse of judgement. Afterall, it was Eve who asked Adam to taste the forbidden fruit and hence, it was woman who sinned. Interesting eh?
All churches preach Good News to its people. But the most annointed church I have ever attended was Pastor Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church. Now it has 15,000 members and still growing very fast. During my time in year 2000 while I was still in Singapore, it was about 6,000 members, then exploded to 12,000 member a couple of years later and now it has 15,000 members. People loved hearing the true Gospel and right preaching and teaching. It does not mix the Old Testament with the New Testament. You cannot mix Law and Grace together.
Around 2002, New Creation Church provided satellite services to parts of Africa like Uganda where the people get to watch the service live and the church gets to keep all the offerings. It was also beamed live to parts of India like Goa and Gujerat. And now by listening to his CDs, New Creation Church has gone a step further by broadcasting its services on DayStar Television Network from Mondays to Fridays at 2:00pm in the United States. This speaks volumes about my former paster’s very very annointed preaching and healing services. People get blessed listening to Pastor Prince preach the right Gospel and they are no longer under bondage by the Law in the Old Testament. Jesus came to set us free, and we should read the New Testament of much promises, grace and God’s Blessings. Sometimes I wish we get to watch Pastor Prince live on TV in Malaysia like the Americans. They are so blessed.
With almost two decades of full-time ministry behind him, Pastor Joseph Prince has become the leading voice for a new generation of believers — a generation that builds its hope on the abundance of God’s grace and the gift of His righteousness.
A founding member and pioneer leader of New Creation Church, Pastor Prince initially served as an elder and associate pastor. However, his appointment as senior pastor in 1990 marked a turning point in the history of the church, which started experiencing growth at an accelerated rate never before seen in its history. The 15 years under Pastor Prince’s leadership have seen God multiplying the church congregation from about 150 to more than 12,000!
A highly sought-after speaker in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Southeast Asian region, Pastor Prince’s sermons are broadcast weekly in Uganda, a nation hungry for the Word of God. Through his conferences in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Holland and Norway, he has also impacted many church leaders and ministry servers. Having built and established the leadership and congregation of New Creation Church on the gospel of grace, Pastor Prince is now actively fulfilling the vision that God has given him to spread the good news of the gospel of Christ to the nations.
