Renewed Mind

At last, most of the things that need to be done were completed and rest is something that is really lacking in my spirit, soul and body. I thank Daddy God for His mercy and grace that I will never lack because of the divine exchange that Jesus had done for me on the mighty cross. Jesus said "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

It sounds simple though and yet many times, I can hardly understood how Jesus can be the Way, the Truth and the Life when all things start to fall upon me. However, I thank God for the message that my pastor had preached during the midweek services, that God had already qualified me for His thousand-fold blessings and I'm claiming my blessings and inheritance in Jesus' Name!

I'm claiming my financial breadk-through in Jesus Name and that multi-million dollars inheritance is mine. I'm claiming them right now at this instant in Jesus Name. Daddy God, I want to draw as much as possible from You because You have qualified me to be the partaker of Your inheritance. I don't care what the devil is trying to tell me. I just focus on Jesus and His Finished Work for me on the cross that He was made poor to set me free of poverty and lack. He was made lonely so that I do not lack in quality friends.

Daddy God, help me to hold on to this truth and I want to hold on to this truth. The devil cannot do anything to me coz Jesus had purchased me with His Blood. I'm totally cleansed and free from every curses because He was hung on the tree, for it is written, "Cursed is He who was hung on the tree.." Daddy God, since Jesus was hung on the tree, all the curses that were meant for me fell upon Him. It was Your Love for me that hung Him on the cross to die for my sins and to take away all my sicknesses and diseases.

Thank you Daddy God. Esp for the miracle that You have given to me today that I don't even have to worry about the carpark fees. You have made it such that I don't have to pay a single cent out of my pocket. Thank You Daddy God.. Likewise, You can also pay my income tax without me having to pick a single cent out of my pocket too. :P Thank You Daddy God, for all Your Provisions coz You are my El-Shaddai. The Ultimate El-Shaddai.

Jesus DID die for you but where in the Bible do you see him promising you lots of money? Who in the Bible became RICH by following God? Was Jesus a rich man?

To Paula who commented "Jesus DID die for you but where in the Bible do you see him promising you lots of money? Who in the Bible became RICH by following God? Was Jesus a rich man?"

Before I say anything, a few questions for you to ponder..
1. What makes you think Jesus is not a rich man?
2. Why does Jesus die for us on the cross?
3. What is the significance of His death for us all?
4. Where does He come from? Who is He from?
5. Doesn't He come from the Father in Heaven?
6. Isn't He sitting at the right hand of the Father? Matthew 26:64 --> Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
7. Isn't Daddy God in Heaven a rich Father?
8. Who are we as believers? Aren't we in Christ? As it is written, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)
9. What are the fruits?
10. And why does Paul said this in 2 Corinthians 8:9 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
11. Are we under Grace which is of our Lord Jesus or are we under the Law which is of Moses?
12. Are we in the Old Testament era or in the New Testament era?

Perhaps you can enlighten me. I know that our Father in Heaven wants us to be prosperous. This is what the bible says in 3 John 1:2 --> Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

What is prosper in all things? All?? Doesn't that include prosperity? If it doesn't, then Daddy God will have to change saying that Beloved, I pray that you may prosper only in spiritual things and be in health spiritually, just as your soul prospers. Doesn't it sound too spiritual?

I thank Daddy God that He said "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." This tells us that as our soul which is also our spiritual health and being prospers, all things on earth also prospers which includes healthy body, riches and supplies.

And it is also written in "1 John 4:17 --> Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." What does the world refer to over here?? Heaven or Earth??

btw, who created the earth?? It's Jesus who is the creator of the Earth coz John 1:1 says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Who is this "Word"? Isn't the Word our Lord Jesus??

What did Jesus do during His days on earth?? Didn't He heal the sick, provide the best wine during a wedding feast, provide the people with abundance of food? Didn't Jesus gave the best of everything to mankind? Did He reject anyone from receiving His blessings? Whom did He have problems with?? Only the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Scribes, the Law keepers, etc.. But never on the commoners!

Since as mentioned earlier, since Jesus is the Creator and He's God, are you telling me that Jesus is not a rich man?? When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, what are the events that happened?? Three Kings visited Him and brought their most precious gifts of their kingdom to Him. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Isn't Jesus a rich man?? I will never say Jesus who is my God, my Savior, my Lord a poor man. He was made poor on the cross for the divine exchange for us on earth. He was resurrected on the 3rd day and went back to Heaven, sitting on the right hand of God. Does that make Him poor?? Isn't He in Heaven now?

Do meditate on it. Sorry if I've offended anyone but this is the truth from our Father God and Lord Jesus. I will be damned if that's not the truth! Anyway, as it is also written, there is now no more condemnation for me coz I'm still the righteousness of God in Christ. Not by my efforts nor by my behavior but by whom I am in who is my Lord Jesus! Amen!

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.2 Corinthian 8: 9

Who in the Bible became RICH by following God?
PETER! net breaking boat sinking fishes, if you could remember


Was Jesus a rich man?
Do you see Him had any lack in the bible? out of mouth of fish carried money for Him to pay tax. Is He poor?

paula said...

"He became poor"...Jesus came to earth and did not live an extravagant life. He lived simply and walked around with the prostitutes, lepers, fishermen. Not the people with big houses. Read the story of the rich man and Lazarus.

Yes, he came to make us rich. But I don't think "rich" means that we will become millionaires. COULD God give us each a million dollars? Of course! You are right, He is God and he has all the money and more in his hand.

But if he gave us each a million dollars, would that draw us closer to him? What would we do with that money? I know I would travel, buy clothes, buy a house, and send some of it to poor people. Still, I think what God will do is provide more my needs. Jesus had no lack. God provided money for him when he needed it from a fish.

God has provided the money that I need my entire life.

However if someone tries to convince me that I should ask God for a million dollars, I have to think about that.

I just don't want you to get depressed or even worse, angry or disillusioned with God when your million dollars don't arrive. Someone is telling you this because it is what people would like to hear, but it is not necessarily true.

Whoever is telling you this stuff about getting a million dollars, don't give them any money because according to them they should be getting it from God.

I look forward to hearing from you again....

To dare to ask for anything that we need shows that the person knows the Fathers' heart and she knows Father loves her.

"For you do not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba Father"

The Spirit Himself bears withness with our spirit that we are children of God,

and if children, the heirs - heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together."- Romans 8: 15-17

"To redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out 'Abba Father'"
Galatians 4: 5-6


And look at all the Gospel, what is the name of God that Jesus reveal to us? Father.

So if the Almighty God who created the heaven and earth, and we are His heirs, what kinda inheirtance we have and we can obtain from our Father? Do Father just blessed Abraham with spiritual blessing? Didn't Abraham has silver and gold, cattles and herds until those who dont believe in God can see God's favor heavily upon him. And we are Arabham's seed in Christ arent we? "Therefore it is of faith and it might be according to grace so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all(Romans 4: 16)"

For a broader perspective, in the old convenant while you read blessings and curses in Deuteronomy 28, you would find out that God blessed the old convenant ppl with pracitcal blessings, and in Hebrew 8 it is written that we the church obtained a better convenant, and new convenant which was established on better promises(Hebrew 8: 6). If God our Father said it is better, it must be better isn't it?

For a narrower persective, my friend was claiming the promises, not simply just ask God for money, she is claiming what God has put in our account because of our dear Lord Jesus had died for our sins, bore our judgement and rose up for our justification. And allow me to be a little bit impolite here, who tell you that when she has money she will be minding things of the world and forget about God? Didn't paul prayed for Corithian Church that God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you always having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good work (2 COr 9: 8)

Prosperity with a purpose, be blessed to be a blessing and support the work of kingdom of God.

Money isnt evil, the love of the money is the root of the evil, money can only expose ppl's heart, same amount of money some ppl, they will go crazy, to when you give to those sons of God who know the Father loves them and who love the Father because the Father 1st love and 1st gave, they would use the money for the glory of God.

And I know you've heard of this saying "there are ppl preaching about wealth and health gospel." Sorry wealth and health are not the gospel, the Gospel is the Son of the living God put away His majesty and came down and died for us and reconciled us to God so that what we deserve, He paid, whatever we dont deserve, He gave. that gives the gut to my friend to ask God for a finacial breakthru, not base on the system of world nor using her own flesh and sweat to get the wealth, but she didnt forget that is God, our Father who gives us the power to get the wealth. what is wrong with turn to God instead of the world for our needs, troubles, trials? Jesus didnt promise us that we would be trouble free, suffering free, but He did promise us the He had overcome the world, and the matter of fact is, we are in Him (please read Ephesians reading the "in Him")

Christianity is not set of moral values and moral codes, if it is, the new convenant is not much better than the old. but GOd had emphasized through Paul that the true Gospel is: we through the Grace of God justified by faith and we are not alienated from God anymore, we call Him "Abba Father" and we have all liberity to talk about all the things with Him because He cares for us.(1 peter 5: 7)TO whom be the glory forever more Amen.

Paula, I am still in awe until now that Christianity is not one of the religions, Christianity is a proven fact that For GOd SO love the world and gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Think about it, God gives us eternal life freely as gift but it costed Him His only begotten Son, "how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8: 32

Just enjoy His love, and you must read Romans 7 to 8, very liberating.

Well Paula, being wealthy doesn't mean that the person will become a heartless miser. No doubt that a wealthy person may not have a peaceful heart and life. However, that isn't the case for a believer in Christ. Whatever that Daddy God has given, He will never add sorrow to it. I'm sure it's written in the bible coz I've read it. Whatever I'm writing in the blog, I'm claiming what Jesus had given to me. Even if the money comes and goes fast, part of it is definitely going to the church and I've the desire to request that my Senior Pastor to decide over it. I'm not doing it in my own name at all coz who am I to claim that it's my own efforts and money? Isn't it, Jesus our Ultimate Lord and Savior?

Anyway, it's also the teachings that I've received that set my heart totally at peace. I thank Daddy God for showing me the way to my church and I felt so much at home and in God's presence. I've even tried going to another church recently and it's never like home to me until I popped right back into this church. My mom had been changed so much that I can even hardly believed it myself. Something that only God can do.

Perhaps you may not be aware that there's miracle healings that happened and even supernatural prosperity that's already happening around the world or perhaps you have known it all the time. As a matter of fact, I thank Daddy God that I'm one of the receipients of those who got healed of a chronic back pains that caused me to be on continuous medication for 2-3 long years. Why? I focused on the cross at that point in time and what Lord Jesus had sacrificed for me. I kept confessing the Word of God that by His Stripes, I am healed. I'm healed means I'm healed.

This is not the only healing that I got. Last year, I had a series of food poisoning. However, I remember that I kept claiming the Word of God, I'm completely healed within 2 days or even less. To top it all, I even ate bananas which are supposed to have some laxative effects. I remembered very clearly that it's the Holy Spirit that prompted my heart to do so.

If God doesn't give me the prosperity at this point in time, I'll understand coz He knows that my heart is not ready. But I'm not going to deny that truth that Daddy God will prepare my heart to receive. I'm seeking forth isn't the prosperity but it's His Righteousness and His Kingdom. Who is my Righteousness? It's Jesus Himself. Who is God's Righteousness? It's Jesus too! Righteousness is not about right doing. Righteousness is about right being. Being Righteous in Christ brings forth peace, joy and ultimate fruits.

Anyway, I'm not trying to convince anyone to ask Daddy God for the million dollars. All I'm doing is to claim what Daddy God had already given. It's only a matter of time that my heart settles right in with the Righteousness that I'm in. It will definitely be awesome if the person who reads my blog and gets motivated and believed what Daddy God has in store for the person, and I'm sure it's a blessing to me too.

Oh yes, why and when did Jesus became poor? 2 Cor 8:9 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for my sake He became poor, that I through His poverty might become rich. What does this tell us? His poverty. Doesn't it means He is poor? For whose sake? For our sake. By what? By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Why? He loved us! He doesn't want us to suffer on earth.

What kind of testimony will it give to the unbelievers if we as Christians being poor? For those who received abundance of finances and do not portray the love for people in their hearts, they are poor in their spirit. They have not understood the true grace of God. But Praise be to God that He's forever gracious to them!

Paula, trust Daddy God. Always test the questions that you have in your mind.

Ann!! Know what? I'm not sure if I've shared with any one of you before. The Holy Spirit reminded me recently of a "vision" in my heart that I saw a few years back before the Asian Tsunami. This is something that I couldn't understand and it was very scary to visualise that but a peace was in my heart instead. There was an ultimate shield over Singapore and a huge flood was trying to cover the entire area. Now I understood that vision. It's God's hands that's protecting everyone of us from that tsunami disaster! Praise be to God and all Glory to Him and Him only!! Hallelujah!!

Sometimes, I'm really scared of seeing this kind of vision but sometimes it's really fun! :P Anyway, I'm just enjoying the Love of our Daddy God. And know what? Today, I was hunting around Tampines for a green rubber watch strap and it's so awfully difficult to search for it. I went to several shops and none of them had that kind of strap I was looking for. Guess? I prayed to Daddy God to show me the shop that has that kind of strap and the Holy Spirit had been prompting me so many times that I'm able to get it right at my home area.

True enough. I was walking towards the shop that my mind had been visualising. However, when I reach that particular shop, it was no longer there. I walked on and saw a watch repair stall outside another shop. I was arguing in my heart saying that this old man's stall is very small and I doubt he has that strap. But the Holy Spirit told me, what makes you think that he doesn't have it?? I gave a grin in my heart and say, well then, we shall see!

Well.. I gotta bite my tongue and swallow it.. hahaha.. Indeed the old man in that small stall outside the shop, has that kind of strap that I wanted!! Amazingly, Daddy God gave me such a wonderful and pleasant gift! I thanked Daddy God so much for giving me that color strap which I've been searching for days! Oh manz!! Never never depend on my efforts.. DUH! Thank God for anointing all our church pastors. Without Daddy God and His anointing on these pastors, we are going to be like the children of Israel, having to wander in the wilderness for that 40 long years.

Haha, Sharon, He always supplies all things in all suffiency. as small as a color strap, a long waiting worship song, as big as your wildest dreams(joseph had dreams that even his father couldn't understand, but it is God who made his dreams come to pass. We now have a common Father who always believes in us and who has the power to fullfil our dreams, how to lose? our hope is sure) He cares for us and He is more than willing to hold our hands and guides us step by step.
How not to love Him!!!
