Make Grace The Principal Thing

Pastor Joseph Prince

The Glory Of Kings

I have been wondering lately why there are so much differences between those believers who based their faith in their own performance and those who based their faith in Jesus' finished work.  I observed that towards the end of their discussions be it in Facebook or in forum..., they usually end up "killing" each other with "the sword" in their hand. This wondering has prompted me to ask the Lord for answers...

The Lord is always faithful. He is never too early or too late in what He wanted to deliver. As I was reading Proverbs chapter 25 this morning, I got my questions asked at the 2nd verse of this chapter. 

Proverbs 25:2 ~ It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 

God had conceal the mystery of the Gospel and it takes a king to search out this matter. When God preached the Gospel story to Abraham, he believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. The mystery is in the Gospel. The key word is believing the Gospel. This believing system led this righteous Abraham to be a king. 

On the other hand, Moses wrote about the righteousness that is by the law saying: "Whoever does these things will live by them." Therefore, in Moses point of view, performance is the key word and consequently, this leads to a life of a servant.

What the Lord had done at the cross had set us free for the Spirit we received does not make us slaves, so that we live in fear again; rather, the Spirit we received brought about our adoption to sonship and by Him we cry, "Abba, Father." To reign like a king in our life, we must continue to receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of His righteousness.

No wonder there are so much differences between those who are righteous by faith and those who are righteous by work. According to the Word of God, only those who are righteous by faith are addressed as kings like father Abraham. Those who are righteous by work are addressed as servants like Moses. No wonder kings see things differently from servants. No wonder kings speaks differently from servants. No wonder there are so much disagreements because they all see things from a different platforms... i.e. the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.

So, if you see like a king and talk like a king, do not be "downhearted" by the reactions shown by servants because they just cannot comprehend what a king like you, see and talk! God has concealed the mystery of the Gospel for kings and only kings not servants, are given the wisdom to search out this matter.

‎Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness (Jesus' righteousness or righteous by fauth, not righteous by work)  like the stars forever and ever. (Danial 12:3 NASB)

I did not notice that today is 25th of February. .. meaning 25:2 or Proverbs 25:2... until just now, before I decided to note down this revelation as a post in this blog...

Wow... What a wonderful revelation from the Lord from the right chapter @ the right time... It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

"Is There Any Oil in Israel?"

David Jeremiah

Ezekiel 

36:11 ~ I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Deuteronomy

33:24 ~ About Asher he said: "Most blessed of sons is Asher; let him be favored by his brothers, and let him bathe his feet in oil.

Genesis 

49:22 ~ "Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall.

49:23 ~ With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility.

49:24 ~ But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,

49:25 ~ because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb.

49:26 ~ Your father's blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

Ezekiel  

38:5 ~ Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets.

Transfer Of Wealth

Believer: “Father God… Please give me money…!” “You know that I have been praying for money for a long time already….”

Father God: “I don’t have money… In heaven there is no money… The least valuable thing in Heaven is gold and I have used them to make road…”

God cannot lie. What He says is true. There is no money in Heaven. Let us ask from God wisely and let us ask for wisdom instead of money… Do not ask for a "wife" or husband" from Him also... Because wife or husband belong to others and He has to separate "husband and wife" to give you the "wife" or "husband" that you are praying for! That is not possible because our God is a good God... Ask for wisdom instead of wife or husband...!

The wealth of the sinner is led up for the righteous. The money is in this world and in this end time, the money is from the sinners and the money will be supernaturally transfer to those who are righteous by faith, like Abraham!

The bible sets forth a divine plan of God that as we draw near to the second return of Jesus, His Kingdom will grow through out the world and His kingdom will draw in the wealth of the ungodly and will use it to bless and bring the Kingdom to the poor and lost and the last and the least. This plan must surely stir every member of the body of Christ to step out and play their part in this plan and plunder the ungodly of their wealth and pass it on to the extension of the Kingdom.

Proverbs 13:22 ~ A good man leaves an inheritance to his sons' sons, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Ecclesiastes 2:26 ~ ‘To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God’ 

Isaiah 60:5 ~  Then you shall fear and become bright, and your heart shall throb and swell for joy; because the abundance of the sea shall turn to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

Isaiah 60:11 ~ Therefore your gates will always be open; they will not be shut day nor night, to bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings may be led.

Isaiah 61:6 ~ ‘You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast’.

Isaiah 66:12 ~ ‘I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream’.

At the time of writing this post, a Facebook friend of mine Terence Yeo from New Creation Church, posted on Facebook an article on the nation of Israel discovered a world potential largest gas field off the coast of Israel. The other referential article is "Will Bible Lead To Oil Reserve Under Israel?" This discovery is just in time before the turmoil in Egypt which had been number one gas exporter to Israel. With this discovery, Israel is now energy independent soon! Pastor Joseph Prince preached on this in 90s and early 2000s. Now in 2009, the prophesy is fulfilled !

My heart was impressed by these verses from the 26th chapter of Book of Leviticus lately. It is towards the end of the book. The proclamation of the blessings from God started towards the end of this book because this book is all about the ordinances and the types of scarification pointing to Jesus' work at the cross.

Leviticus 

26:6 ~ I will bless your country with peace, and you will rest without fear. I will wipe out the dangerous animals and protect you from enemy attacks. 

26:7 ~ You will chase and destroy your enemies, 

26:8 ~ even if there are only five of you and a hundred of them, or only a hundred of you and ten thousand of them. 

26:9 ~ I will treat you with such kindness that your nation will grow strong, and I will also keep my promises to you. 

26:10 ~ Your barns will overflow with grain each year. 

26:11 ~ I will live among you and never again look on you with disgust. 

26:12 ~ I will walk with you--I will be your God, and you will be my people. 

26:13 ~ I am the LORD your God, and I rescued you from Egypt, so that you would never again be slaves. I have set you free; now walk with your heads held high. 

Father God will have respect to us, and make us fruitful, and multiply us, and establish His covenant with us, because we have respected His Son’s finished Work at the Cross… and we have respected the ultimate will of our Father God in Heaven. We believe in His finished work and we are righteous by faith, so did Abraham, the father of faith!

The Firstborn Blessing

On 28-01-2011 @ Jerusalem

Here is the 4th witness video synced up with videos 1 & 2, the two other most likely to prove authentic in my opinion. The light flash is consistent, as is the acceleration speed of the object as you will see, unlike witness 3's video.

Original Story:

Two witnesses who happened to be at the Armon Hanatziv panoramic lookout over Mount Zion and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel at 1am managed to film what might be one of the most interesting clips ever captured (see video). The sighting took place on the morning of the 28th of January.

The men notice the large ball shaped light suspended in the night sky and begin to film. At a little after one minute into the clip the light descends almost to ground level directly over the Temple Mount. The light hovers there for a short while and then flickers and shoots upwards at an incredible speed, to the shock of the witnesses.
