Wearing Kids Face Masks in School - Protection from COVID-19 and other Sicknesses
Maeleth after ballet class wearing her kids face mask.
Summary: Wearing kids face masks in school has been effective at reducing the cases of children falling sick. Your little one can wear a mask and yet look stylish and adorable! My 4 year old daughter Maeleth recently started school on 1 September 2020. For the past 4 years, she has been with my wife and I at home, 'homeschooled' in a way. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, it is mandatory for children to wear kids face masks to school. It is compulsory in Singapore to wear face masks when you go out, whether you are an adult or a child. I believe this prevention measure is why the cases of COVID-19 in Singapore have dropped to single-digit new cases each day. Even in preschools, teachers and parents are realizing that their little ones are staying healthy and not falling sick as often as before. The law requiring children to wear masks in preschool will be lifted soon, but Mae's school sent all parents a letter, saying that they strong recommend that the children continue wearing kids face masks to school because it has been effective in keeping them healthy. It really sucks when little ones fall sick. Besides incurring medical bills, there is the stress of caring for a cranky, ill child. Wearing a mask is effective protection because kids don't fully understand the importance of practicing hygiene. They touch their eyes and mouth with dirty hands, and pick their boogers whenever they feel like doing so. Besides that, there is the transmission of germs when fellow student sneeze or cough in other students' faces. Nowadays, there are beautiful kids face mask designs available for purchase. Let's look at some!

4 October 2020 - Freely Receive Healing from God - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince preached a powerful sermon about healing. God wants you to be healed and healthy. When we believe the true Gospel which is the Grace of Christ, it will be easy to freely receive healing! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. How Great is Our God 2. I Stand in Awe of You 3. I Stand in Worship - New Creation Worship 4. Shackles (Praise You) 5. I Cast All My Cares Upon You Pastors can discern the needs of their congregation in the spirit. We are Tripartite beings—spirit that have a soul and live in a body. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 - Our spirits are born again—new creations. When Jesus returns for us, He will transform our vile bodies into glorified bodies. The resurrected Jesus has flesh and bones. The glorified body is touchable, and yet transcends matter, time and space. The ministry of reconciliation is a ministry that every believer has. God took the initiative to reconcile the world to Himself. Back when Jesus was on earth, He was not imputing the people’s trespasses to them, and today He isn’t doing that either. We are not in the age of God’s judgment. COVID-19 is not God’s judgment upon the world. When Jesus was on earth, as many as touched Him were made whole. They were all sinners, and yet their sins did not disqualify them from receiving healing from Jesus. Jesus was not counting their sins against them. God is already reconciled to us. The father in the parable of the prodigal son was always scanning the horizon for his son, before his son had decided to come home. The problem is not God, but us who need to be reconciled to God by believing that God loves us. Grace is not cheap, but Jesus paid it all so that it is free for us. Freely you have received, freely give. If you don’t believe that you receive healing freely, you will put conditions upon others before they can be healed. At the cross, Jesus called the Father “My God, My God” so that we can call the Father “My Father, my Father”. There was a divine exchange at the cross. Jesus received our sins apart from His actions, and gave us His righteousness. We received His righteousness apart from our actions. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:17-21 WEB) Mark 16:15 - The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for every human to freely receive. “He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation.” (Mark 16:15 WEB) Acts 20:24 - The Gospel is called the Gospel of Grace. “But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:24 WEB) Galatians 1:6 - The Grace of Christ is the Gospel. “I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;” (Galatians 1:6 WEB) Acts 20:21 - The Gospel is to be believed. Repentance towards God means to change your mind about God. For example, you used to think that God was angry with you, and after repenting, you believe that God is always for you. “testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.” (Acts 20:21 WEB) What the world needs is not morality preaching. Morality is a fruit, but not the root. The root is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God saves individuals, one at a time, not nations. Saved individuals can impact their societies and eventually transform nations. Matthew 9:36 - Some people who are profit-minded would think how much money they can get from that multitude. However, Jesus saw the multitudes and He was moved with compassion for them. He saw them as sheep without a Shepherd—that is God’s beautiful heart for the world. “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36 WEB) 1 John 4:19 - We cannot love God with all our strength, mind and heart. Only God can do that towards us. The Law exposes our weaknesses and shows us that we need a Savior. “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 WEB) Luke 4:19-20 - The “acceptable” year of the Lord is “dektos” which means the age where the favors of God are freely flowing towards us. We are not in the day of God’s vengeance. Jesus was reading from the book of Isaiah, but He closed the book and didn’t finish reading the verse. We must learn to rightly discern the dispensations. “and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.” (Luke 4:19-20 WEB) Isaiah 61:2 - This is the part that Jesus did not finish reading. The dispensation will change once the Tribulation begins (the church won’t be here because we will be raptured first). “to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;” (Isaiah 61:2 WEB) 27 September 2020 - Receive Double Portion for your Losses - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught today that God wants us to believe that we are righteous, and to feel at home in His presence. For everything that Satan has stolen from you, you can confidently declare that "This is mine" and expect God to give you double restoration for your losses! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. King of my Heart - Sarah Mcmillan 2. Rain Upon my Life - New Creation Worship You can receive healings and breakthroughs through prayer, even from a distance. Space is not a limitation for God. Jesus compressed time in an instant by turning water to excellent wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. That was Jesus’ first miracle. The second miracle He did was healing the nobleman’s son from a distance. These two miracles show that Jesus is the Lord of Time and Space. Cana means “to acquire or to get”. Galilee means “a circuit”, like the winding staircase. We receive from God as we walk in a circuit, up the winding stairs. Another incident of Jesus healing someone from a distance: the healing of the Roman centurion’s servant. Jesus healed just by speaking a word, without laying hands upon the servant. When you believe that you will receive your healing as the word goes forth, without anyone laying hands on you, Jesus calls that “great faith”. God is not limited by time or space. We have to preach the rhema word of God out of the logos. Rhema is the “now word”, the quickened “word in season” for us. Romans 7:6-11 - Pastor Prince is not against the Law. He is for the Law, for the reason that God gave the Law. If a nation lives according to the Ten Commandments, that nation will be prosperous. But once the law keeping systems fall, you will you see anarchy, rioting and looting. The Law only gives behavior modification, but not heart transformation. It is the Gospel of Grace that transforms us from the inside out. If you break one commandment in the Ten Commandments, you are counted as having broken them all. When the children of Israel boasted in their ability to keep God’s commandments, the next thing you see is that they made the golden calf. The Law stirs up sinful passions, making one sin more. When you remove the Law, it’s like you’re removing the stone from Lazarus’ tomb, allowing him to step forth. Are you removing the stone from decaying flesh (an unbeliever), or a person who has been resurrected like Lazarus (represents a born-again believer)? For the case of a believer, the Law is a hindrance. Grace makes you exceed the requirements of the Law. There is no such distinguishing between moral law, ceremonial law and sacrificial law. The context in the passage below is talking about the Ten Commandments—“you shall not covet” is one of the commandments. Sin takes advantage of the commandments of the Law, like a base of military operations, to produce all sorts of sinful passions in your flesh. The strength of sin is the Law. The more you try not to do something, the more you are doomed to do it. Sin is in a dormant state in the flesh without the Ten Commandments. “But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead. I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death; for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.” (Romans 7:6-11 WEB) 2 Corinthians 3:7 - The Ten Commandments is the only part of the Law that was engraved on stones. It is the ministry of death. When a person placed himself under the Ten Commandments, he subjects himself to death. The devil is never more subtle than when he comes as a religious spirit. “But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,” (II Corinthians 3:7 NKJV) Romans 3:19-24 - The purpose of the Law is to close every mouth from saying that they can be righteous by their own performance. To keep the Law perfectly means to not sin in both thoughts and deeds. No mortal person can do that. On the Mount of Transfiguration, Elijah (a picture of the prophets) and Moses (a picture of the Law) testified of Jesus. Everyone has sinned, so everyone is qualified to receive the free gift of righteousness through faith in Jesus. Universalism is a heresy. The gift of righteousness is available to all (to receive), but it only comes on all who believe. Lordship salvation is a heresy too. Some people teach that “if Jesus is not Lord of all, then He is not your Lord at all.” This puts a lot of pressure upon people to earn salvation by works. Salvation is received freely by faith alone. Jesus’ death made a way for us to come out from the marriage to the Law. Believers may fall into sin but they won’t live in a lifestyle of sin. If you’re saved you won’t live in sin. Your default mode will be wanting to please God. “Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin. But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;” (Romans 3:19-24 WEB) Romans 10:3 - You can’t establish your own righteousness by your works. The only way is to receive righteousness by faith in Jesus. “For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.” (Romans 10:3 WEB) You cannot sin away your salvation. The gift of righteousness cannot be lost. When you were an unbeliever, your righteous works couldn’t make you righteous. Now that you are saved, your sins cannot make you unrighteous again. What Jesus the last Adam did is greater than what the first Adam did. 20 September 2020 - Receive Health and Prosperity from your High Priest - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught us how to practically receive health and prosperity through the ways God has graciously provided for the church: the Lord's Supper and the tithe. Just as Melchizedek brought the bread and wine, blessing Abram, Jesus is our high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. Goodness of God - Bethel Music 2. In The Presence of Jehovah 3. My King - New Creation Worship Originally preached at Hillsong Church’s Sunday service on 7 July 2019. The devil has come against the church prospering in all things—including financially. There is a spirit of intimidation working against the church. Wherever the Gospel has gone, it produces health, healing, wellbeing and prosperity. Wherever the Gospel has not reached, women are still subjugated and people are still stuck in poverty. 3 John 1:2 - Prospering in all things is not about spiritual prosperity only. Spiritual prosperity is already in the “even as your soul prospers”. If you give to the Lord, prepare to receive more than you gave. You can count how many seeds are in an apple, but you can’t count how many apples are in a seed. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2 WEB) 2 Corinthians 8:9 - The context of this verse is about giving and finances. They didn’t even give Jesus the courtesy of a loincloth. He hung there naked on the cross as the soldiers gambled for His clothes. Jesus became poor at the cross. He wasn’t poor before that. “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.” (2 Corinthians 8:9 WEB) Hebrew 5:10-12 - God judges you based on how good your high priest is. As the high priest goes, so goes the nation. Jesus is our high priest in the order of Melchizedek. This portion of Scripture about Melchizedek is the most quoted Old Testament Scripture in the New Testament. The Melchizedek is nothing but blessing, and blessing. There is no cursing like under the Levitical priesthood. Jesus' priesthood also has no cursing because Jesus became a curse on the tree to redeem you from the curse! The revelations about Melchizedek is solid food, not milk—it’s for matured Christians who are ready to receive. “named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing. For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.” (Hebrews 5:10-12 WEB) The only time Melchizedek appears in the Scriptures is after Abram won a battle against four kings to rescue his nephew Lot. 13 September 2020 - Praying in Tongues: Your Powerful Threshing Sledge - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught that the gift of praying in tongues is a precious firstborn inheritance. It is a New Covenant weapon that destroys your mountains of problems and receives God's blessings, so pray in the Spirit often! God is no respecter of persons. What He can do for someone else, He can also do for you. While we were still sinners, God sent Jesus to die for us. Children who are loved will imitate their parents. The entrance of God’s word gives light, even if the message seems to be irrelevant to your situation. If you can’t see, just switch on the light instead of cursing the darkness. Isaiah 59:19-60:3 - The western countries had the revelation of the power of the name of the Lord first. But the glory of the Lord will be seen in the eastern countries (Asia). “Rising of the sun” reminds us of Japan, “the land of the rising sun”. God is going to do great things in the eastern countries like Japan, South Korea and even North Korea. Glory comes after grace. Keep God’s word in your mouth, especially praying in tongues. The notable thing that Isaac did was to uncover the wells dug by Abraham. Those wells were covered up by the Philistines. The devil is covering the wells of God’s word but God is progressively uncovering these truths now. A lot of believers are afraid of the word “prosperity” spoken in church. The devil has covered this well. Many hypocrites preach against prosperity but they themselves have big houses and two or three cars. God’s will is for us to prosper in all things—but not for greed. Pray in tongues. God’s glory will arise upon you. “So shall they fear Yahweh’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which Yahweh’s breath drives. “A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh. “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from henceforth and forever.” ““Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you. For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 59:19-60:3 WEB) Acts 2:16-19 - God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh in these last days. When we prophesy, God will show wonders. “But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.” (Acts 2:16-19 WEB) Follow after love and desire spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit will work through you. When you sense a flowing of God’s love and compassion, follow that prompting and the gifts of the Holy Spirit will manifest. These gifts are not just for ministering to believers, but to unbelievers as well. 6 September 2020 - Activate the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught us how to rely on the Holy Spirit which produces in us a higher standard of moral excellence than is possible under the Law. By relying on the heavenly prayer language of "praying in the Spirit", we can repair our bodies, minds and position ourselves to receive breakthroughs which we don't know how to pray for in words! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. See a Victory - Elevation Worship 2. Turn your Eyes Upon Jesus 2 Peter 1:2 - Grace, mercy and peace (shalom) is not multiplied by us doing more, but through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. “Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,” (2 Peter 1:2 WEB) Romans 10:14,17 - Faith can come and increase by hearing and hearing the word of Christ. The context here is hearing through a preacher. “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? ...So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:14, 17 WEB) Philippians 2:13 - The indwelling Holy Spirit works (energeo) in you to become both willing and able to do His purpose. “For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13 WEB) Ephesians 4:28 - The Law says “Do not steal”, but Grace asks us to work with our hands so that we can give. If you keep the Law. you can avoid stealing and still be stingy. But Grace makes you generous. “Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.” (Ephesians 4:28 WEB) Acts 20:35 - With man, we are more blessed to give than to receive. “In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”” (Acts 20:35 WEB) 1 John 3:16 - The Law says “do not murder”, but Grace teaches us to lay down our lives for the brethren. Grace supersedes the moral requirements of the Law. “By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” (1 John 3:16 WEB) Colossians 4:6 - The Law says “Do not lie”, but Grace makes us speak gracious words, seasoned with salt. The Holy Spirit is grieved when we don’t speak words of Grace. Even though Gideon was hiding in the threshing floor, God still called him a valiant man. This is extending undeserved favor. “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” (Colossians 4:6 WEB) Ephesians 5:25 - The Law says “You shall not commit adultery”, but Grace teaches and empowers you to love your wife just as Christ loved the church. If you are on bad terms with your wife, just focus on Jesus and see Him loving you. “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;” (Ephesians 5:25 WEB) Romans 7:4-6 - We are not under the covenant of the Law, but under the covenant of Grace. Jesus supersedes the standard of the Law, and yet He empowers us to live righteously. The Law will not bend to help you become righteous or live righteously. “Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring out fruit to death. But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.” (Romans 7:4-6 WEB) Sudio Elva Review and Giveaway (Wireless Earphones with IPX5 Neckband and Bluetooth Flight Adaptor)3/9/2020 Sudio Elva Review and Giveaway (Wireless Earphones with IPX5 Neckband and Bluetooth Flight Adaptor) Sudio Elva is a great pair of wireless earphones that's suitable for outdoor exercise and also good for frequent travelers. Read on to find out more of its features which I like. Don't forget to participate in the giveaway! I’m so excited to receive Sudio Elva which is a different type of wireless earphones from Sudio Tolv, Fem and Ett which I have been using, 30 August 2020 - Bear Fruit to God Under Grace - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught that when a person tries to keep the Law, the sinful passions in the flesh are aroused, causing that person to sin. The only way to bear fruit to God is through Grace who is the person of Jesus Christ. Praise and worship songs performed: 1. I See Grace - New Creation Worship 2. When I Look Into Your Holiness - Integrity’s Hosanna! Music 3. In Whom I Can Trust - Steven Wee 4. I Look To You - Robert S. Kelly The “now word” that God is speaking is the rhema word. The Scriptures in general is the logos word—the written word. When you are well-read in the logos word, the Holy Spirit can speak to you from within through the rhema word. Enjoy God’s word and feed on it. Spend time in God’s word until your heart leaps with joy. 2 Corinthians 3:6-7 - The Ten Commandments were the only part of the Law engraved on stones. Peter called Paul’s letters “Scripture”. The Law is holy but it cannot make man holy. The Law demands everything but gives nothing. Grace demands nothing but gives everything. When the Law was given, three thousand people died at the foot of Mount Sinai. When God gave the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, three thousand people were saved and received eternal life. The Law kills whereas Grace gives life. The Greek word for life is “Zoe”. It is quality life. When someone receives God’s word, God “quickens” that person with His power. Grace is like a good conductor of blessings whereas the Law is like an insulator of God’s blessings. The descending love is always greater than the ascending love—God’s love is always greater than your love for Him. “who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,” (II Corinthians 3:6-7 NKJV) No one has ever loved God with all his mind, soul and strength. Only one man did that: Jesus. The Father opened the heavens to Jesus and said, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.” He only did that to Jesus and no one else. Always see God supplying you the Grace for whatever you’re doing. That is how to live the life of Grace practically. Jesus said to Martha, “Martha, Martha, you are worried about many things.” The root word of the one translated as worried is “Merimnao” in Greek which means “to be distracted”. Don’t be distracted by worries, stress and fears. Focus on Jesus and receive His grace. Attack your problems one day at a day. Trust that God’s supply of Grace will be there when you come to that point in time. Allow yourself to be present in every situation. To live under Grace is to believe that God is always supplying what you need. Galatians 3:1-2 - The word “bewitched” is a strong word which literally refers to witchcraft. The Holy Spirit is given because Jesus was crucified, raised and glorified—not because you are extra holy by your works. In the Old Testament, some saints had the Holy Spirit on them, but not in them. He would perform His purpose and then leave them. Today, we have the Holy Spirit permanently in us. “Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified? I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?” (Galatians 3:1-2 WEB) 10 Ways to Level up Your Look This Year at Yoon Salon Had my hair bleached at Yoon Salon! The stylists were meticulous and knowledgeable. It was a good experience! Do you also agree that changing your hairstyle is a great way to transform your look? If you want a fresh look for whatever reason, perhaps to mark a new beginning in your life, or just to do something adventurous, you can try one of these ten ways to transform your look at Yoon Salon in Singapore. 23 August 2020 - Cleanse yourself from the Touch of Death - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught us how to avoid touching death. The apostle Paul called the Ten Commandments the "ministry of death" and the "ministry of condemnation". Under the Law, there is only death, but under Grace, sin shall have no dominion over us! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. Give Me This Mountain - New Creation Worship 2. What a Beautiful Name - Hillsong Music 3. No One Ever Cared for me Like Jesus No one except God knows how long this pandemic situation will last. It’s important for us to move in sync with the Lord. Flow with Him. If He leads you to rest, do so. During the lockdown, what we experienced was like how the children of Israel spent a time of togetherness and rest at home during the Sabbaths. The reason that was given for Israel to be exiled to Babylon was that Israel didn’t allow the land to enjoy its Sabbath rests. When the land lies fallow, it becomes fertile again. Our spirit and soul came from God’s breath, but our body was made from the dust of the ground. Our body needs to rest. Salvation happens when you rest in what Jesus has done. You can’t work for your salvation. Noah was confined in the ark for a long time. While this happened, God was preparing a new world for mankind, and Noah was the immediate beneficiary. We are yoked to Jesus, like a younger ox yoked to a stronger, older ox. We must flow with what He’s doing, if not we will suffer from a sore neck. Jesus said that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. The side chamber of the temple of Solomon: The first floor is the storage for grain, wine and oil. The second floor contains the sleeping quarters for the priests. The third floor is the treasury which stores the gold, silver and tithes. These three floors reflect what’s going to happen in year 2020 for the church of Jesus Christ. We are still in the second floor, and we will move into the third floor towards the end of the year. 1 Corinthians 11:23 - Paul received a direct revelation about the Holy Communion from Jesus, not from the other apostles. Continue to partake of the Holy Communion and expect His healing power to flow. “For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.” (1 Corinthians 11:23 WEB) Gold primarily represents the righteousness and divinity of God. Silver represents redemption. But gold is also provision. God always foresees the needs you will have. Yahweh Yireh—the God who sees (your need). When Abraham was bringing Isaac up to Mount Moriah, God was probably leading the ram up from the other side of the mountain. |
