As a child, Jesus was born. As a Son, He was given.

Jesus became our kinsman redeemer, like how Boaz became Ruth’s kinsman redeemer by marrying her and taking care of her. Boaz was willing, wealthy (able) and a relative (of Naomi)—these are the qualifications a kinsman redeemer must have.

In order for Jesus to redeem us, He had to become like one of us—a man.

Luke 4:18 - Jesus went about doing these, in obedience to the Father’s will.

““The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,” (Luke‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Death was never God’s will for man. He wants us to be part of His family and enjoy eternal life with Him.

Death came in because Adam sinned. The whole earth fell with Him.
Adam was appointed as the ruler of the earth and when he fell, his whole kingdom fell with him.
Adam bowed his knee to Satan, an outlaw spirit, and committed high treason against God.

Matthew 2:2 - In the Old Testament, the first question asked after man fell was “Where are you Adam?”
In the New Testament, the first question asked is, “Where is He who is born the King of the Jews?”
That is because Jesus is the solution to man’s fall.

““Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”” (Matthew‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Genesis 3:15 - The woman’s “offspring” is in the singular tense. It is referring to Jesus who would defeat the devil.
The word offspring can also be translated as “seed”.
A woman does not have seed, so it is a prophecy about the virgin birth.

“I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”” (Genesis‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Isaiah 7:14 - The virgin would conceive and bear a son—this is a sign to identify the prophesied woman’s seed.

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭WEB‬)

Matthew 1:20-23 - Why the necessity for a virgin birth?
God the Father sent His Son into Mary’s womb and she conceived Him.
Mary had sin in her blood, so how is it possible that Jesus was born sinless?
Today we know though scientific study that the mother’s placenta does not give blood to the baby in the mother’s womb.
The placenta only brings food, nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s bloodstream to the baby, and removes waste and carbon dioxide away from the baby.
Jesus has blood, but it is His own divine, precious blood.

“But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She shall give birth to a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.” Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel”; which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”” (Matthew‬ ‭1:20-23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Why did God make the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? It is because God did not want to create robots. He wants man to choose to obey and love Him out of man’s free will.
God planted that tree there for a real opportunity for man to exercise his free choice.
Look at the abundance of goodness that God gave to Adam. Adam could have freely eaten from every tree in the garden except for that one tree.

Leviticus 17:11 - It is blood that makes atonement for sin because a being’s life is in the blood.

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.” (Leviticus‬ ‭17:11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Pastor Joseph Prince taught that Jesus, the prophesied "woman's seed", has a double claim to the throne of David through Mary and Joseph. A legal claim through Mary, and a regal claim through Joseph.

Through Mary, Jesus has the legal claim to the throne, thanks to the change in the law of inheritance initiated by the daughters of Zelophehad

Numbers 27:4-8 - God is pleased whenever He finds faith. God loves it when you ask Him for your inheritance. He wants you to possess your possessions.
Why is this story important? It’s actually important with regards to our Lord Jesus Christ. 

“Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.” Moses brought their cause before Yahweh. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.” (Numbers‬ ‭27:4-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Hebrews 11:6 - God rewards you when you seek Him by faith. 

“Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.” (Hebrews‬ ‭11:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Luke 2:11 - Jesus is a Savior, not a Lawgiver. 

“For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Joshua 14:11-12 - By faith, Caleb remained physically young and strong at the age of 85, and went up to defeat giants and take the mountain of Hebron as his possession. 

"As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in. Now therefore give me this hill country, of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the Lord said.”" (Joshua 14:11-12 WEB)

Joshua 15:18-19 - Caleb’s daughter had the same spirit of faith as her father.
God loves “bless me” prayers because we cannot be a blessing to others if we are not blessed.
If you are sick and broke all the time, you cannot be a blessing to anybody.
God wants to bless you and make you a channel of His blessings.
Don’t be afraid to ask God to bless you. 

“When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off of her donkey, and Caleb said, “What do you want?” She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.” (Joshua‬ ‭15:18-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 - Jabez’ name means “pain”.
God loves it when His people want to receive more from Him.
Jabez is called more honorable than his brothers because he did not resign to his destiny of having a life of “pain”. He boldly asked God to bless him abundantly.
When you ask God for big things, you are complimenting and honoring Him. 

“Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him with sorrow.” Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” God granted him that which he requested.” (1 Chronicles‬ ‭4:9-10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Ephesians 3:20 - God promises to exceed what you pray for. For example, don’t just ask for a job, ask for a position! 

“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,” (Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Gospel of Matthew traces Jesus’ genealogy back to Abraham. It traces His paternal side (Joseph’s lineage).
The Gospel of Luke traces Jesus’ genealogy back to Adam, and it traces His maternal side (Mary’s lineage).

Jeremiah 22:30 - Through Joseph, Jesus has a claim to the throne of David, but his ancestor, Jeconiah, was cursed by God.
The curse says that Jeconiah’s descendants would never sit on David’s throne.
This means that Jesus cannot become King through Joseph’s lineage.
Joseph, who is the king's descendant, was poor because his bloodline was cursed.

“Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne, and ruling in Judah.”” (Jeremiah‬ ‭22:30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Satan tried to prevent the “woman’s seed” from being born by causing his fallen angels to intermingle with human women during Noah’s time, corrupting the human gene pool.
This resulted in the birth of the Nephilim (in Hebrew it means “fallen ones”) who were giants.
The “woman’s seed” has to be born as a full man.
Noah and his family were the only humans with pure genes left.

Satan also tried to prevent the Messiah’s birth (who we know is Jesus) by having Pharaoh slaughter all the Hebrew baby boys in the river Nile. Satan also instigated King Herod to kill all the male infants in the region where the Messiah was prophesied to be born.

Luke 3:23 - Mary’s father was Heli. Because the daughters of Zelophehad caused a change in the law of inheritance, Jesus could have a legal claim to the throne of David through Mary’s lineage.
Through Mary, Jesus has the legal right. Through Joseph, Jesus has the regal right. 

“Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,” (Luke‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Matthew 1:16 - The Holy Spirit guards the words of Scripture carefully. Joseph is called the husband of Mary, but not called Jesus’ father. 

“Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” (Matthew‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Romans 5:8-9 - We have been acquitted through the blood of Jesus. It is a judicial pardon.
There must be blood to atone for sin. Jesus’ blood has eternal quality because He is God.
Believers will never go through the Great Tribulation because we are spared from the wrath of God.
We are looking forward to Jesus’ return. When He returns, our vile bodies will be transformed into the likeness of Jesus’ glorified body.
Until then, keep yourself in the love of God (Jude 1:21). “Keep” means protection and preservation. Not you loving God, but God loving you.
Ascending love is never greater than descending love. The love of a parent for the child is always greater than the child’s love for the parent.
Will God wait for you to love Him before He will love you? No, He loved you first.
When you realize how much God loves you, you will also love God and one another. 

“But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.” (Romans‬ ‭5:8-9‬ ‭WEB‬)

John 17:11 - “Keep” means to protect and preserve. 

“I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.” (John‬ ‭17:11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Proverbs 11:21 - Receive this promise for your children.

“Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.” (Proverbs‬ ‭11:21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Proverbs 10:6 - We are righteous not through works, but by receiving it as a gift through faith in Jesus as Lord. 

“Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.” (Proverbs‬ ‭10:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It is not about you loving God with all your heart, but God who has loved you with all His heart. 

Pastor Prince released words of knowledge for healing: 
Lower back pain.
Knee pain.
Eyes with a ‘watery film’ just cleared out.
Arm condition.
Someone who was expecting a good end to the year just received a bad prognosis from the doctor about his stomach area. God is healing him.
A woman’s womb is being healed. There is a feeling of warmth.

"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."

Messiah's Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ

$14.99 $9.99

I have prayed for others and seen instant healing miracles and received supernatural words of knowledge about them. I have also received miracles through prayer and others praying for me.

The Bible clearly reveals God’s will for every believer to walk in the miraculous. If you’re tired of a Christian walk that has no evidence of God’s manifested power, all it takes is to replace some wrong beliefs so that unbelief can be cast out. This is what I believe the Holy Spirit wants to do through this book.

Under the New Covenant of Grace, every blessing is received by faith. Faith comes by hearing about Jesus and this book is all about Jesus and designed to impart faith to the reader. During Jesus’ ministry on earth, He didn’t work any miracles by His own authority as God. He relied completely on faith in His Father and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit purposefully chose 37 of Jesus’ miracles to be recorded in the four gospels. This is no coincidence. Each miracle reveals something powerful about our Lord Jesus. As you behold Jesus' love, grace and mercy expounded in these 37 miracles, I believe that you will see miracles erupt in your own life!  

Testimonials from readers:

“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA

“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore

God's Appointed Time - Being Fruitful in Every Season of Life

$14.99 $9.99

Understanding God’s appointed time will allow you to flow with what He is doing and experience profound peace in all situations.

Many believers are frustrated and even bitter against God because they lack the revelation about God’s system of times and seasons.

They want things to happen in their own way, at their own time, and when it doesn’t happen as expected, they throw tantrums.

In this eBook, which is a compilation of thirty devotionals I have written on this topic, you will learn how to receive God's grace for every moment of time, and even speak and do things so aligned with the Holy Spirit—effectively acting as one.

This is what Shally, a sister-in-Christ, said about "God's Appointed Time": "Thanks for this awesome series, Milton. I have been very blessed and need to hear so many truths in it because of the season I am currently in. I was looking for answers and they came daily in your messages. Blessings in Christ Jesus to you and family. May your seed multiply and grow in His Grace and righteousness."

As a launch offer to get this eBook in the hands of as many readers as possible, I am offering "God's Appointed Time" at a 25% discount for 1 day only. Order and download your copy of the eBook before the offer ends! Looking forward to reading your feedback and reviews about it soon!

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!​​​
