25 April 2018 - Everything Good and Bad will Give God Praise - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Encounter Night Sermon Notes

​Even when things don’t seem to be working in your favor, God is working behind the scenes. 

Many times we don’t thank God for protection or help rendered that we don’t know about. 

Esther received favor from God. We need to receive and rely on His favor.

Testimony: There was a student who memorized the whole Book of Proverbs and he received straight A’s for his school exams.
When you touch God’s word, you touch the way to prosper you.
When you meditate on God’s word, you will have good success and make your way prosperous. 

Psalm 1 - Those who meditate on God’s word will prosper in everything they do.
Their leaf will always be green — renewal of youth and health. 
We need to listen to God’s word and not the news. The news says that as your days increase, you will get weaker and older.
God’s word says that as your days increase, your strength will increase. That’s the opposite of what the world says. 
Don’t accept what the world says so easily.

In the Book of Esther, the name of God is not mentioned. The name of God doesn’t appear in it, and yet you see God working behind the scenes. 

The Book of Esther is a book of God’s provision, not so much of His miracles. 
In Greek, “Provideo” - “Pro” means before, “video” means to see. 
God sees your need and provides the supply before you even know of your need. 

An acrostic: GRACE - God’s riches at Christ’s expense

There are four hidden acrostics of the name Yahweh in the Book of Esther. 
Everytime an acrostic appears, it is a pivotal point in the story — a game-changing moment. 
Yahweh in Hebrew is made of the four Hebrew letters: Yud hei vav hei.
English reads from left to right but the Hebrew language reads from right to left. 

Even when you don’t understand God’s word, you are still cleansed as you read or listen to it. 

One of the appearance of God’s name is God name “I AM”. 

Psalm 96:11 - This verse is an acrostic with Yud hei vav hei. 
Without the Lord, the heavens cannot be glad and the earth can’t rejoice. 

“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!” (Psalms 96:11 WEB)

God made Haman’s anger praise Him. God makes everything that man does - whether good or bad - praise Him. The devil may seem to be making inroads in your life right now, but just wait. The health and restoration that is coming will be much better than what you had before.

​Esther’s name was initially Hadassah which means "myrtle" (a type of plant). “Esther” means star. 

Israel was supposed to be the nation that leads all other nations. They will still be that nation in the future. 
But because of their sin, that time was suspended and they were conquered by the kingdom of Babylon and since then, many Gentile nations. 
Finally the antichrist will come, trying to annihilate the Jews and Christians (who receive Jesus after the Rapture). 
We who are believers right now will not see the antichrist because we will already be with Jesus after the Rapture happens. 

Esther 1:1-4 - King Ahasuerus ruled over a huge domain. Persia was a mighty and prosperous kingdom at that time. They drank wine from goblets made of gold.  Shushan is called "Susa" today. China appears in the Bible too under the name "Sinim" -- the word "Sin" is where we get the "Chin" in China.

“Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia), in those days when King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the citadel, that in the third year of his reign he made a feast for all his officials and servants—the powers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of the provinces being before him— when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all.” (Esther 1:1-4 NKJV)

Esther 1:19-21 - The queen rejected the king’s command to appear before his friends and was stripped of her position as queen. 
In Hebrew, the Hebrew letters “Yud Hei Vav Hei” (the acrostic representing Jesus "Yahweh") appear here in reverse which means that God is overturning the current rule. 
If it's in the correct order, Yud Hei Vav Hei means that God is currently ruling. 
Long before the devil has planned evil against you, God has already prepared the provision for your deliverance. 

“When the king’s decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire (for it is great), all wives will honor their husbands, both great and small.”” (Esther 1:20 NKJV)

Esther 2:15-18 - Esther depended on God’s favor. The way to stand out is always God's favor -- favor makes all the difference.
When you put your trust completely in God’s grace and favor, you will go places. Don’t depend on your beauty, smartness or experience.
The women bathed in perfume for six months in preparation for the king. It was extremely lavish. 

“Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her. So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.” (Esther 2:15-18 NKJV)

Esther 3:5-7 - In the Book of Esther, Mordecai represents Jesus Christ, while Haman represents the antichrist to come. Haman was a descendant of the Amalekites. 
The Amalekite (the name means “to labor with pain") represents our flesh. 
The Amalekites were the enemies of the children of Israel. In the Old Testament, because Saul did not completely destroy the Amalekites as God instructed, he was killed by an Amalekite on Mount Gilboa. 
If we don’t subdue our flesh, the consequence is that it will destroy us. 
Haman hated Jews. 
Did someone else get promoted while you got retrenched? Don’t worry, God is behind the scene (maybe protecting you from something terrible that the company would face) and you have favor with God. 
The pur is like a dice/lot. The Jews still celebrate the Feast of Purim (on the 13th of the month) every year. 
A day that the devil means for evil, God can turn it around for good and make it a memorable day.

“When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath. But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai. In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.” (Esther 3:5-7 NKJV)

Esther 3:12-13 - Haman succeeded in persuading the king to approve the written decree. 
Previously, King Cyrus (the predecessor of King Ahasuerus) had already made a decree for the Jews to return to Jerusalem.
The remnant in Jerusalem mentioned in Ezra and Nehemiah would also be killed if Haman‘s plan for the Jews to be destroyed had succeeded.
God can use the small things to overthrow the mighty things of the world. For example: The cry of baby Moses shook the nation of Egypt. 

“Then the king’s scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded—to the king’s satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king’s signet ring. And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.” (Esther 3:12-13 NKJV)

Psalm 76:10 - Even when man is angry towards God and towards his children, God can use that wrath to praise Him. 

“Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.” (Psalms 76:10 NKJV)
​

God is working behind the scenes to turn what the devil meant for evil into something for your good​

I have started a Whatsapp Chat group called "God Every Morning Bible Study" whereby I share my daily takeaways from Bible Study.  We can read the whole Bible together as study mates.  It's sure to be a blessed addition to your life, especially if you're not used to reading God's word on your own -- let's keep each other on track, and encourage each other in the faith.  If you'd like to be added, kindly join as a ministry partner (patron) on Patreon at "God Every Morning" tier or above. Shalom!

​Esther 4:14-17 - God is not hard up on people who can serve Him. 
If you reject His plan for you, He can find someone else to do the job, but you lose out on the opportunity to be blessed. 
If God has a plan for you, He wants to bless you through it. 
Out of the many choices available, Jesus chose Peter’s boat. When Peter obeyed Him, Peter received a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fishes. 
Waiting upon the Lord is never wasted time. They that wait upon the Lord will mount up on wings like eagles, walk and never be weary, run and not faint.
God is a good Paymaster. God will reward you for using the grace that He gave you in the first place. There are some things we get by God's grace, and other things we enjoy as rewards. 

“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!” So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him.” (Esther 4:14-17 NKJV)

Esther 5:1-14 - In Esther 5:4 the Hebrew letters “Yud Hei Vav Hei” appear in the correct order. 
This is the turning point that changed everything for the Jews. 
In Esther 5:13 the Hebrew letters “Yud Hei Vav Hei” appear in the reverse order. 
God made Haman’s anger praise Him. God makes everything that man does - whether good or bad - praise Him. 
The devil may seem to be making inroads in your life right now, but just wait. The health and restoration that is coming will be much better than what you had before. 
When you touch the Bible, you touch provision, health and everything that you need. 
Esther appeared at the right moment and with gentleness - Wise women should do this. 

“Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house. So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter. And the king said to her, “What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you—up to half the kingdom!” So Esther answered, “If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.” Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, that he may do as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared. At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!” Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and request is this: If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.” So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai. Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh. Then Haman told them of his great riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king. Moreover Haman said, “Besides, Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king. Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.” And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.” (Esther 5:1-14 NKJV)

Esther 6:1-14 - God can even give someone a sleepless night to turn around your circumstances. 
God had turned things around here. Now things are in Mordecai’s favor. 

“That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. Then the king said, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” So the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. The king’s servants said to him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.” So Haman came in, and the king asked him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman thought in his heart, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” And Haman answered the king, “ For the man whom the king delights to honor, let a royal robe be brought which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden, which has a royal crest placed on its head. Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then parade him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’ ” Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king’s gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.” So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!” Afterward Mordecai went back to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered. When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.” While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.” (Esther 6:1-14 NKJV)

Esther 7:1-10 - Before this, the king didn't know that Esther was a Jew. Mordecai had advised Esther to only reveal her Jewish descent at the right time.
In Esther 7:7 the Hebrew letters “Yud Hei Vav Hei” appear in the correct order. Evil was determined against Haman. This victory was brought about by God. 
The very thing that the devil means for evil, God uses it to cut off his head, like Goliath's sword. 
We need to pray for the non believers who plan evil against us believers because they need our prayers -- If not the evil they planned will come back upon themselves. We believers are God's favored person -- He that touches us touches the apple of God's eye.
In Esther 7:5 the Hebrew letters “Aleph Hei Yud Hei” (Ehyeh) appear which is “I AM”. It is the divine signature of God. 
​In the Garden of Gethsemane when they came to arrest Jesus, Jesus said "I AM" and they all fell.  

“So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther. And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!” Then Queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss.” So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?” And Esther said, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!” So Haman was terrified before the king and queen. Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king. When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?” As the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.” Then the king said, “Hang him on it!” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.” (Esther 7:1-10 NKJV)

About the Book:

​

One day when I was singing praises to God, an image floated up in my spirit: a big and beautiful sandcastle being washed away by the waves from the sea. God was teaching me the futility of holding tightly onto worldly possessions because like the sandcastle, they won't last, and one day will cease to exist.

He taught me from His word to focus on Him and by doing so, I would reap great eternal rewards before Jesus' throne at the start of the Millennium. These rewards will last forever and can't be destroyed or stolen. 

It is my prayer that the revelations in this book will help you to live with a focus on the things above where God is, fulfill your God-given calling in life, be happier and to accumulate more eternal rewards to your account.

In this Book, you will learn about:​

- Heavenly investment advice and the futility of worldly pursuits from a trillionaire in the Bible

- Why God has to reward us in order to be righteous

- When and how God will destroy the current earth and sky to make way for new ones

- The types of fireproof works that earn eternal rewards at the end of time

- The abundant rewards of doing good works while abiding by the non-disclosure agreement between God and you

- The difference between the temporary places of torment: Sheol and Abaddon

- Who is the Antichrist and his name revealed in the Bible

- What is the Mark of the Beast and why it disqualifies its recipients from receiving salvation

- The different judgments at the throne of Jesus Christ and what it means for you as a believer

- How to fulfill your calling and maximize your gifts to receive the best eternal rewards 

Testimonials about the contents of this book:

"Sandcastles Don't Last Forever is very well written, its message loud and clear. Milton Goh gives common-sense insight on often confusing Scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times. My understanding of the Bible has definitely improved."

- Mike Garrett, first Editor/ Publisher for Stephen King and Author of Christian Novel "Innocence Denied", from USA

"This book is absolutely breathtaking. We don't work to be saved but were created to do good works. I am so energized and excited to know God values our works and we will be rewarded. This is all Glory to Jesus... I cant wait to throw my crowns at his feet and thank him for saving my life!" - Evangelist Michael Clark from USA

"Dear Milton Goh, I truly thank our Abba, Father for the revelations in this book. It is so amazing how I begin to discover important verses in the Bible that I have never read. That instead of following riches, with sleepless nights, and actually shortening our lives, we are just to 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ', and 'Love one another'. How beautiful to find out that actually in the Bible there is both 'Earthly or Worldly Investment Wisdom' and 'Eternal Investment Wisdom' according to the revelations here from Ecclesiastes 5:14-17 WEB)!; “It seems like Solomon was not only wise at earning material riches but also at earning eternal riches.” All the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! God bless you Milton Goh for such a wonderful book!" - Nitta Nierra from Belgium

“Thank you Milton. I have just finished reading “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It’s such a good book that's filled with God's word. I love it very much. Might read again if I have the time. Thanks so much!” - Mally Chai from Singapore

"I'm reading this book and loving it! The revelations of the Gospel truth shared and it's life applications are absolutely amazing! I give glory to the Lord Jesus for my dear brother Milton for this exceptional resource. I'm gonna keep feeding on its contents and believe God for supernatural breakthroughs as my mind is renewed in Christ!" - Terence from Tombel, Cameroon

The very thing that the devil means for evil, God uses it to cut off his head. We need to pray for the non believers who plan evil against us believers because they need our prayers - If not the evil they planned will come back upon themselves.

We are not longer "Lo-Ammi" - We are now children of God!

​Esther 8:1-8 - There still remained a problem: any decree approved by the king cannot be revoked. As a solution, the king essentially gave Esther a blank cheque which means that whatever she wrote on the slab/tablet would be approved. 

“On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman. Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews. And the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king, and said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces. For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?” Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews. You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for whatever is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring no one can revoke.”” (Esther 8:1-8 NKJV)

Esther 8:15-17 - Mordecai replaced Haman as the king’s new right hand man. The feast they made is called "Purim", named after the lot that they cast to decide the day to annihilate the Jews. 

“So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor. And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.” (Esther 8:15-17 NKJV)

​Deuteronomy 31:16-18 - Why didn’t God reveal His name in the Book of Esther?
It’s because God said He would hide His face from Israel because they rejected Him. 
God cannot acknowledge them directly but in His love for them He still protected them behind the scenes. 

“And the LORD said to Moses: “Behold, you will rest with your fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. Then My anger shall be aroused against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?’ And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.” (Deuteronomy 31:16-18 NKJV)

Hosea 1:8-9 - At the time of Esther, it was a period of “Lo-Ammi” which means “not my people”. 

“Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. Then God said: “Call his name Lo-Ammi, For you are not My people, And I will not be your God.” (Hosea 1:8-9 NKJV)

Romans 9:25-26 - We are now no longer in a period of Lo-Ammi. We are now sons and daughters of the living God. 

“As He says also in Hosea: “I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved.” “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living God.”” (Romans 9:25-26 NKJV)

When Jesus hung on the cross, the Pharisees were so insistent that Pilate should change the writing on the sign above Jesus’ head which read “Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews”.
This is because in acrostics, the sign read “Yud Hei Vav Hei” (Yahweh) - the name of God. 
Pilate said "What I have written, I have written." God would not allow anyone to change it.
Yahweh lived among us and died as our Savior. 
Because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross, we are no longer Lo-Ammi. We are children of God!

God presents a blank cheque to you. His name is "I AM". What do you want Him to be for you? Tell Him.

* Please Take Note: These sermon notes are not official New Creation Church (NCC) or Pastor Joseph Prince sermon notes. These sermon notes are not affiliated with NCC or Pastor Prince.
I highly recommend purchasing Pastor Prince's sermons on his mobile app "Joseph Prince" on Apple App Store or Google Play Store even after you read these notes as I may have missed out something he shared and the overall experience is definitely different when you listen to him preaching directly!
​Use these notes as a revision guide instead of solely depending on them!

These sermon notes are independently-compiled by me, and I'm just a loyal and regular attendee of the the church's Sunday services, and I feel led to take detailed personal sermon notes of Pastor Prince's anointed messages to share them with the world, which desperately needs the true word of God and the original gospel of grace.

I feel blessed to be able to attend Pastor Joseph Prince's services in person, and would like to help everyone who isn't able to attend in person, to get hold of the messages as soon as it is preached!​​​
