Job 29:6 - The Rock represents Jesus. When milk is rich, the top layer is made into butter. It refers to the richness of God’s word.
When we keep washing ourselves in it, the anointing, like oil, flows for us.
Rivers of oil also refers to prosperity—oil was a blessing of provision for the farmers in Israel.

“when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,” ‭‭(Job‬ ‭29:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

You cannot make influence happen for you—it’s God who gives influence.

Luke 18:43-19:2 - Last week Pastor Prince taught about Zacchaeus. Before that chapter is actually the story about blind Bartimaeus which will be the focus in this message.

“Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God. He entered and was passing through Jericho. There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭18:43-19:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In Luke 18, the rich young ruler boasted in his ability to do.
Every time you boast about your law-keeping, the Lord will say “One thing you lack.”
The Law is like a mirror that shows your flaws but has no power to change it.
The rich young ruler is the only person whom Jesus told to sell all his possessions—he was unable to give even one shekel.

In the next chapter, Zacchaeus was too short to see Jesus, so he climbed up a tree to see.
Jesus called him “Zakkai” (meaning just) and said He must stay at his house.
Zacchaeus wasn’t given any laws but his heart and wallet were opened through receiving Grace.
What the Law couldn’t do, Grace can.
The Law condemns the best of us, Grace saves the worst of us.

The Gospel of Mark is the most chronological out of the four gospels.

It takes Four Gospels to describe the beauty of Jesus.
The Gospel of Matthew depicts Jesus as a King.
The Gospel of Mark is the Gospel of the divine Servant.
There is no genealogy in it because you don’t ask the pedigree of a servant.
The Gospel of Luke is the gospel of the Son of Man.
The Gospel of John is the Gospel of God from Heaven.

Mark 10:45 - Mark who wrote the Gospel of Mark failed miserably as recorded in the Book of Acts.
He was homesick and abandoned Paul and Barnabas when they still needed him on their missionary journey.
This servant who failed was chosen to write about the divine Servant who never fails.
Jesus came to Jericho to find someone to serve.
Jesus came with His hands full of God’s blessings, healing and deliverance.

“For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”” ‭‭(Mark‬ ‭10:45‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We are saved by faith in Jesus. Good works come out of our saved state.

Dads, God is using your child to raise you. You think you’re raising your child, but your child is actually raising you.
When you choose to sacrifice your outings with friends, gaming or shows to take care of your child, you will never regret it—it cultivates your character.

Some people ask why God never stopped Adam before he sinned.
If God had done that, God would have made robots who don’t have a choice.
God made us with free choice, so He has to respect that—He cannot infringe on our free choice, even when He is Almighty God.
You are free to choose, but you cannot change the consequence of your choice.
If you choose to touch fire, you choose to get painfully burnt.

Jesus raised people from the dead at different degrees of the body’s deadness—Jairus’ daughter just died, the widow’s son in Naim died that day, Lazarus was dead for four days, etc.
But dead is dead. Likewise, we were once all spiritually dead in our sins.
Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good—He came to make dead people live.

Before Jesus’ incarnation, He was a Spirit without a body.
After His being, He received a body and even today He’s still at the Father’s right hand in a glorified man’s body.
Jesus is forever God and forever Man.

Jesus loves you and He wants to serve you. He wants someone to pour His love on.
That’s why He made man last, after He had created the heavens and the earth.

Martha was troubled and stressed about many things because she didn’t do the one thing that Mary did—Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and allowed Jesus to serve her through His word.
We can serve out of the fullness of first receiving from Jesus—we can only give after receiving from Him.

Exodus 21:1-6 - the Hebrew servant is a picture of Jesus. Jesus loved His master (Father) and wife (the church—His bride), so He decided to go to the cross to save mankind.
He was pierced at the cross and is now a Man forever.

““Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them. “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything. If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’ then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever. “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.” (Exodus‬ ‭21:1-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Psalms 40:6-7 - This passage was used in reference to Jesus.
“Opened” also has the meaning of bore—like to bore the ears of the Hebrew servant who chooses to remain a servant in his master’s house forever.
Jesus is our Servant King.

“Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering. Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭40:6-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Joshua, the commander of the army of Israel shouted and the sun stood still. Bartimaeus the blind beggar shouted and the One who made the sun stand still, stood still. This Servant King Jesus responded to the cry of a blind beggar. Jesus' heart is to serve us, and out of the fullness we receive, we can serve Him by loving one another.

The Son of God who made the sun stand still, stood still at the cry of a blind beggar

Joshua 6:26 - Jericho is a cursed city. Joshua cursed whoever would rebuild the city.
Jericho is a picture of the world which is fallen and under a curse.
Today we are more connected than ever but people feel more lonely and unhappy than ever.

“Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”” ‭‭(Joshua‬ ‭6:26‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

1 Kings 16:34 - Because of the curse that Joshua uttered, Hiel’s two sons died.

“In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.” ‭‭(1 Kings‬ ‭16:34‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Mark‬ ‭10:45-52‬ ‭- Bartimaeus means son of Timaeus—he had no name. Timaeus means “unclean”.
So Bartimaeus can also mean “son of the unclean”.
Pastor Prince believes that Bartimaeus’ father, Timaeus, rebuilt Jericho and because of the curse upon the city, Bartimaeus was paying the price for his father’s actions.
We were all once unclean, but the blood of Jesus has washed us whiter than snow.
There are many poor people with lots of money in this world—they aren’t saved so they don’t have the riches of God.
When Jesus passed by, Bartimaeus asked about it and the person replied that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
At that time, Nazareth was a place of ill repute with brothels. Today Jesus has perfumed the name “Nazareth” with His own fragrance
We need spiritual sight. When we open the Bible, we need the Holy Spirit to open our spiritual eyes of understanding to receive revelation.
The Gospel of Mark was written first among the four gospels.
Bartimaeus called Jesus “Son of David” which was a kingly title.
Jesus was born King—not just born to be king.
Little becomes much in Jesus’ hands. Whatever you put in His hands multiplies in quantity and/or quality.
In the Hebrew translation, Bartimaeus cried out for Jesus to show Grace to him.
The last time a person shouted in Jericho, it was a commander of an army (Joshua) and the walls fell.
This time, a blind beggar shouted and his walls of blindness fell.
Last time it was mighty men who shouted, this time it was a weak man shouting at the mighty Man.
This time the city of Jericho wasn’t destroyed because Jesus didn’t come to destroy lives but to save lives by giving His own life as a ransom for many.
Son of David is also a Messianic title.
Joshua shouted and the sun stood still. Bartimaeus shouted and the one who made the sun stand still, stood still.
At that time, kings only responded to people of status and importance in society.
But this Servant King Jesus responded to the cry of a blind beggar.
People are flaky—they change their minds very quickly. One week they can cry out Hosanna to the Son of David, and the other week they can cry out Crucify Him!
One moment they can ask you to be quiet, and the next moment they can ask you to cheer up.
Don’t put your trust in people—place your trust in Jesus.
You cannot flatter Him into having a good opinion of you, and neither can your words cause Him to have a bad opinion of you.
Jesus clothed us with His own robes of righteousness.
Bartimaeus threw aside his cloak (represents his identity as a beggar)—that’s faith. He wasn’t planning on coming back the same way.
Jesus found refreshment in healing the sick, opening the eyes of the blind—when you let Him serve you, He is reinvigorated.
The more you take from Jesus, the fuller He becomes.
Jesus asked Bartimaeus to go his way, and Bartimaeus decided that his way was Jesus’ way—he followed Him.
Jesus never placed an obligation on people to follow Him after healing them or delivering them. Grace is given freely.
To see Jesus in God’s word is worship—as you see Him in it, you’re being transformed from glory to glory into the likeness of the Lord.

“For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road. When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!” Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!” He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the way.” ‭‭(Mark‬ ‭10:45-52‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Joshua 10:12-14 - Joshua spoke to the sun and the sun stood still—it did not go down.

“Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”” ‭‭(Joshua‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Joshua‬ ‭5:13-15‬ ‭- Jesus came in pre-incarnate form, as a commander of an army with a sword drawn. He didn’t come to take sides—He came to take over.
Many years later He would be born as a baby, grow up and come to Jericho again.
This time not with a sword, but with healing in His hands.

“When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?” He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.” ‭‭(Joshua‬ ‭5:13-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Some testimonials of my writing:

"Great writer and theologian. I love your work. You are in tune with the Holy Spirit."

- Pastor Dave Hammond, Faith Baptist Church of Myra, USA

"Milton Goh my brother, your insight on Grace has set me free from 20 yrs of addiction. I was a 7 time felon but by the GRACE of God I am now an ordained minister. Here is some of my story: I was saved in Dec 2016 and started evangelizing in July of 2017 as soon as I was released. My ministry has led over 800 to Jesus. I go to jails, rehabs, homeless shelters plus numerous churches! Your notes and sermons allowed me to find rest in Jesus. I was getting tired trying to perform what I thought God needed from me. You have made me realize it's 100% the CROSS and now I go constantly for Jesus but never get tired. Thanks for your wisdom and love for Jesus. May God bless you and your family!"

- Evangelist Michael Clark from Cumberland, Kentucky, USA

"Milton Goh gives common sense insight on often confusing scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times."

Sandcastles Don't Last Forever

$14.99 $9.99

This is the eBook version.

If you prefer to get the Paperback version (physical copy), you can get it on Amazon here for US$15.

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

“Excellent book!! I enjoyed reading it so much and definitely recommend it! Milton is so gifted and all his teachings have blessed me tremendously! I thank God for people like him. Get this book, it will be worth it!” - Madeleine from SA, “Unmerited Favor” tier patron

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!
