About Gospel Partner
Gospel Partner is an initiative to get the gospel of grace out to as many people as possible.

Don’t grow old and die and miss the very essence of what life is all about God loves you.
Do you know something today? We celebrate Resurrection day, Jesus rose from the dead. He conquered death for you.
And I, this is God reaching out to you, not men trying his best. No, no.
It’s God coming down and declaring His love for us.
Jesus grace is greater than all our sins believe. Don’t try to reason believe.
Don’t try to, to be your own savior.
It’s a gift from God probably about four years ago.
I was just flipping through the channels and just came across a guy in a leather jacket preaching some truth and stopped and watched for a while and it literally blew my mind because he preaches the truth.
He tells us about grace and he just makes you know that Jesus is here for you and His grace is all you need.
It just keeps you constantly wanting to grow more and hunger for more and go for more.
But yet it’s so simple and so amazing.
It just blows my mind in my husband was an alcoholic for 18 years, got sober about seven years ago and because of the grace message, no more condemnation has really set him free.
I said this is really good news.
He said this is the good news that I’ve been waiting for all my life to hear what you have just watched is a glimpse of the many lives that have been touched by the gospel of grace.
This is what gospel partner is all about sending the good news of Jesus Christ into the world to reach the last, the lost and the least, wherever the Gospel goes, it brings victory, deliverance, breakthroughs and miracles.

Praise the Lord be expecting. God is a God of miracles.
Amen. Perhaps you came here today and you know your, your spirit is downcast.
You are feeling depressed because you’ve had a bad report from the doctor.
You’ve tried all kinds of things and even the medicines they gave you.
They will say that it’s just to maintain and to control it. But God is a God of miracles.
God can touch you and heal you.
He made your body, not only He made your body, he redeemed your body, amen by the blood of Jesus.
God loves you. Remember that you are not alone. You’re not just a face in a crowd.
God loves you. He knows the numbers of hair on your head and he knows exactly what you are going through even now that you don’t even share with your closest partner.
He knows it and he loves you. You say, Pastor Prince, you might not know what I’ve done.
Pastor I know God knows everything about you and he loves you. That’s the best kind of love.
You’re never very secure with someone that you are putting your best foot forward.
If during dating, for example, you are always putting your best foot forward and the person falls in love with you, you’re never really secure because you’re wondering in your heart whether the person loves you for you as you really are or because you’ve been putting your best front.
God knows all about you and God loves you.
He sent his son to die for your sins.
And because today 2000 years ago, Jesus rose from the dead as a testimony that all your sins have been put away you and I can sing that song.
Amen because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Amen. Give him praise church and you may be seated. Hallelujah.
Take some time to know the person on your right and on your left because for the next three hours.
Ok. I’m just kidding. Say something good like this to them. Ok. Hey, uh you look good.
A pastor. I cannot lie then say you know what you look good just now in the dark.
All right.
Look at somebody else and say something good is going to happen to you.
A man.
The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
One of my favorite, if not my favorite verse because this marks my ministry is a ministry of differentiating for people, law and grace.
Even among Christians, among believers, we still have a erroneous idea that God demands from us. God demands from us.
You know, when you worship God and you feel like God is stern. God is angry.
I remember years ago, I was uh praying and I, I I was praying and I tried to imagine because he’s my heavenly father, right?
God is my father. I imagine to myself, an old man with white beard, white hair.
And then I, I was just praying and then God stopped me and he says, why are you?
Why do you see me like this?
I say like what like an old man, I say that because you are father.
Mhm And my father at that time had, you know, white hair already.
And he says, a son up here in heaven, nobody is old, growing old is because of sin.
Men begin to, to age. His body gets weaker, gray hairs come out and then they die.
It’s because of sin, the wages of sin is death.
But God says up here, we are all forever young.
I literally heard that we are up here.
We are forever young and I began to see a God who is dynamic, a God who is young and you know what?
If you live in Him, you’ll be forever young, just like the old hymn says forever young.
I wanna be forever young. You know that old church hymn.
Do you really want to live forever forever?
Anybody, you can live forever and you can live forever young today. Amen. In Jesus name. Hallelujah.
Eternal life is living forever with the quality of life because you know those who end up in hell, they also live forever.
When you think about it is still life right forever, but it’s not eternal life.
Eternal life is the life of God.
The life that God lives by that uncreative, that disease free, that, that ageless life, that eternal life, the quality of life becomes yours through Jesus Christ.
The Bible says the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Our Lord. All of us have sin with, with sin because the Bible says we sin because we are sinners.
We don’t become sinners because we sin all of us.
When we were born into this world, we were born in sin, the apostle prins. That’s not fair.
You see if you think about it, our lives are intricately linked with our father, our grandfather and on and on.
You see that. Yeah. But uh uh if, if you’re saying I receive my sin from Him.
Yes, God has designed in such a way that our lives are linked. Think about it.
If your grandfather died when he was five years old, you wouldn’t be here today.
Think for a while. Amen. If your grandfather didn’t exist, you wouldn’t be here.
Our lives are linked. So when the first man Adam and Eve, God gave them a choice, in fact, God, God is so generous.
Always remember, God is not holding back on you. God will give you everything.
And in fact, God always gives more than enough.
And when the first Adam and Eve, when God first made the first man and woman, God put them in a beautiful place called Eden.
Amen. Man try to paint it and, and, and, and try to illustrate it.
No one can, can picture it is everything that’s beautiful to the eyes, everything that is good to eat.
Amen. And then in the middle of the garden, God put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And God told man do not eat from one tree.
Now, that means God says, eat freely from every tree.
You see the generosity of God, but don’t eat from one tree the day you eat of it, you will surely die.
Now, why did God do that? And why, why was the tree there?
You might ask Apostle Prince might as well don’t put a tree there, right?
But you see if God made man, not like a robot.
God can make men like a robot worship me, obey me. And today the world will be functioning perfectly.
But then is that what God wants a robot to love him? No, God made man.
The bible says, let us make man.
In our image, man is made in God’s image and God gave man something called free choice.
So to, to exercise that free choice, you cannot just give someone with free choice, everything good.
And then you say, you know something else I give you free choice and and but everything that He he chooses is good that there is no demonstration or exercise of that free choice.
So God put one tree down there and God says, don’t eat from that tree the day you eat of it, you will surely die.
And you know what happened? Man chose that tree.
Now when you choose the tree, when you choose sin, you choose to disobey God.
You cannot, you cannot have your cake and eat it. The, the wages we call wages salary, right?
Penalty of sin is death and not just death physically but death eternally.
But when men took from the tree, God knew that man is cut off from him.
You cannot just say, well, Pastor Prince, uh uh you know, I mean from a tree and and you know boys will be boys.
Why God just everything under the carpet. If God did that. Yeah, he’s a God.
Of love, but he’s not a righteous God.
If there are no laws and orders in this universe, this universe will collapse.
If the judge says, you know what I know you murdered three ladies and all that. No problem.
You know what? You had a bad childhood. Boys will be boys, never mind acquitted. Then you know what?
He’s not a righteous judge. We cannot respect a judge like that.
So God is holy, righteous, but God is love. God loves you. Do you know something today?
We celebrate Resurrection day, Jesus rose from the dead.
He conquered death for you and I, but you know that God never meant for men to die.
It is not in God’s heart. In fact, God count counts death as an enemy.
That’s why people cry at funerals deep down in our hearts.
We know even Jesus wept at Lazarus uh funeral, right?
Jesus wept because He knew that this is not his father’s plan for men.
In the very beginning, death is foreign to us.
We don’t want to grow old. We don’t want to have sickness.
That’s why we go to the doctor and we don’t want to die.
It is inherent in every man.
But every time you pass by a funeral, you know a service that’s going on somewhere under the void deck here in Singapore, right?
It reminds you again, people don’t like to talk about death.
They don’t like to talk about funerals and all that but I mean, I need to know something death has been conquered by Jesus Christ.
Today we celebrate the resurrection. He didn’t rise up spiritually. He rose up bodily.
And you know why he rose up bodily? Because our sins have been put away.
Sin is the problem that separates men from God.
Just like if you love someone that you love very much your child or whatever, and the child has cancer and the cancer is in the child.
You don’t love the cancer, but the cancer is in the child.
But you hate the cancer, you love your child. God hates sin, but God loves you. Amen.
Sin is destroying everything beautiful that God has for you. Amen. The good life.
And we see it all the time. Even celebrities are taking their lives.
Now you thought that you become famous, they become wealthy, everybody, you know, and there are millions of uh uh uh people tuning in to the social media and all that large following.
But then they take their life. You want to do yourself well.
If I have fame and fortune, I won’t be doing that. Are you sure?
Maybe there’s not everything to life. Jesus himself says, what shall it profit a man?
He gains the whole world but he lose his own soul. Amen.
So you, how much, how much do you, do you hate the cancer in your child?
The same amount that you love your child? If you love your child a lot.
You will hate that disease a lot. You say, why, why, why does God hate sin so much?
Because God loves you very much? Can I go to Amen? So there had to be a solution.
God can just say, you know what I’m done with Adam and Eve, I’m done with all the generations that will come up from them.
Uh You know what, I’ll make a new creation after I’ve, I’ve met angels.
I’m not referring to our church. Amen. I’ve met angels. I’ll make a new creation. Amen.
I’ll just wipe them out. God could have done that. Amen.
And today people won’t use the breath that God gives them to blaspheme him to speak against him. Resolve. Amen.
I mean, I’m glad I’m not God.
So we know in our hearts that, you know, we pass by a cemetery.
No, no one likes to pass by a cemetery. Am I? Right? We still have cemeteries here in Singapore. Right.
Right. Nobody likes to go down there for a date or a picnic.
One time a pastor was at a cemetery and um he heard crying.
So he looked around for that, the direction.
Then he saw a man holding a tombstone, crying, sobbing, body, racking, sobbing, you know, and he went over and said, sir, sir, I’m a pastor.
Can I pray for you? He was crying and he says, uh someone you love.
He was, by the way, he was saying, don’t leave. Why did you leave? Why did you leave?
And the, and the pastor says someone you love, he says, no, my wife’s first husband. Ok.
Anyway, the point is no one, like no one likes to be in a cemetery.
Ok. I’m in trouble with my wife. Now, my wife don’t have a first husband.
Ok. This is the first husband and the last woman. Emma.
It better be the last, uh, I don’t think she can ever have anybody else once she has had Amen.
So God ordained a system, God could have wiped out man.
But God ordained a system by which that God can be righteous in forgiving man of his sin and treat men like righteous.
Alright. The system is called even though we say the law was given by Moses.
Moses is a servant, not the son of God in a house, a servant don’t have the the standing with the father that a son does.
Jesus is the son, the law, the 10 commandments was given through a servant.
But grace and truth came through the son Jesus Christ.
The law was given, I can give something from a distance I can send through.
Now this Amazon, amen.
Free advertisement again as if He needs it, Mr Bezos and, and we can give from a distance.
But if I come to your place personally, if I come, that’s, that’s personal, that’s getting real close.
Well, the law was given when God gave the law.
God says, thou shall not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not murder. All that right.
God spoke from a mountain and through an intermediary, the Bible says, through angels and um the mountain was veiled in, in dark clouds and it was, it was, there was an the earthquake and there was lightning and the sound of voices and, and even the Bible says, the best of them of all.
Israel Moses says, I exceedingly fear and I was trembling, not just fearing and trembling, but exceedingly.
He said, he was trembling. And the Bible says from in that kind of atmosphere, God gave the 10 commandments.
So that’s the law, but we are not under the law. Now, we are under grace.
The law demands grace that came to Jesus Christ. True grace. This grace and truth is true.
Grace supplies the Lord demands thou shalt not, thou shalt not, thou shall not.
Grace says here, receive the supply and the Lord God demands righteousness from sinful men.
That man says, I can’t, I, I, I try to be righteous, I cannot amen. But under grace.
God says, take the gift of righteousness. It’s only to be received.
The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Our Lord.
That’s why the first miracle, public miracle of Moses was to turn water into blood resulting in death.
Remember when he struck the river Nile, the first miracle of Jesus, the first miracle of grace is to turn water into wine, resulting in celebration.
Remember the story, the the uh wedding, they ran out of wine. He can do the same in your marriage.
He can turn what is simple and blend like water into intoxicating wine. Amen.
Praise God under the law.
God said I’ll by no means pass by your sins, but I’ll visit your sins to the 3rd and 4th generation.
That’s what God said under the law. But under grace, God says, I’ll remember your sins no more.
So there, there’s been a change. I mean, anyone can see there’s been a change.
The law says, do, do, do grace says done at the cross.
On the last words of Jesus is finished, finished. Done. What is finished?
Man’s sin is forgiven all of God’s holy requirements.
Fulfill on our behalf, the law magnified and fulfilled. Amen.
The law was given to Moses. But grace and truth came to Jesus Christ.
When God gave the 10 commandments, God knew man would sin and man says all that God says, we can keep, wow, sounds very noble, sounds very solid.
But you know something that is confidence in your flesh and God knew that’s the reason why God gave men the 10 commandments.
God knew if there’s no 10 commandments. If I say you’re a sinner, you say what’s a sinner?
But if God gave the 10 commandments, even the best of us will fail.
And Jesus came and Jesus showed man that’s what Moses meant when he says, it’s not just committing an adultery, thou shalt not commit adultery.
It’s not just committing adultery like going bodily with, with your, your uh uh a person who’s not your partner, who’s not your life partner.
It’s not your wife, not your husband bodily. It’s not just bodily doing it.
It is even when you lust for someone in your heart, that’s adultery.
Jesus said murder is not just taking a knife and plunging into someone’s heart physically, murder is hating someone in your heart, even though the person is still alive.
Why did Jesus say all that to bring all of us to the end of ourselves so that we see our need for him, the savior.
But man is so proud that man would not want to.
You know, I I I I’m a self made man. I’m this.
Listen, my friend 100 years from now speaking naturally not a single person under this room will still be alive.
Death is total a man like I said, God never meant for men to die.
It’s not his dream for men to grow old even right? But men are growing old. Amen.
They grow old, they become decrepit and they die. Is this God’s dream for men. No sin came in.
That’s what I’m saying. Sin. Mar sin, defile, sin destroys sin will cost you more than you want to pay.
It’s like cancer. Don’t mess with sin. Amen. Amen. Get Jesus in your life. Praise the Lord.
What did Jesus do? So in the Old Testament before Jesus came, there was a Tabernacle like a small temple where God used this illustration to help men understand.
And for this, I need some volunteers real fast. Come on, I need my lamb and I need my priest.
OK. But uh wow, so fast. OK. Uh I think you’ll be on this position. OK?
Now I’ll be the sinner. I’ll be all of you. You and you are represented represented here in me. OK?
This is me. This is you. Yes. OK. This is the high priest.
This is the priest, the priest of Israel.
So in the Old Testament, when you read the Old Testament, you find there’s a priest in the Old Testament.
Jesus Christ today is our high priest, right? But in the Old Testament, God uses this for visual aid.
Amen. It is illustration of what is to come. These are shadows.
What Jesus did at the cross is the substance. Amen.
So every time someone sins he will bring his lamb follow me, lamb.
This is a black lamb, by the way. OK? All right. Say something about whatever. OK? Cool.
Are you uh from uh family? OK. Anyway, come follow me. All right. So this is the sheep.
All right. And I bring my sheep to the priest in the temple. OK.
Now I bring my priest and my priest, my sheep to the temple. Amen. Alright.
So look at him, look at him. The priest does not look at me, I sin.
The reason I bring the lamb is uh my sacrificial lamb. I sin you and I have sinned this.
This priest priest represents God. So his eyes right now are like the eyes of God representing God.
Looking for blemishes, looking for sins, looking for what is not holy. Amen. Notice He doesn’t check me out.
He doesn’t look at me no notice that when I bring my lamb, he doesn’t look at me.
It’s redundant to look at me. Why it will serve no purpose.
It’s very obvious why I am there. Why am I here? I have sinned. So no point examining me.
The reason I’m saying this is because a lot of people when they come to God, they think God is examining them.
OK? Watch this now.
So I bring my lamb here to the priest and the priest checks the lamb for any blemishes.
It must be without blemish. Why? Because it represents Jesus Christ. Jesus is sinless. Amen.
No, no sin, no imperfection, no blemishes. Amen. Praise the Lord.
That’s why I believe that Jesus is the most good looking person that ever walked on this earth.
He cannot grow old. Amen. Because uh uh you know, there’s no blemish in Him.
There’s no imperfection, his whole body actually driven by Mary, but there’s no sin in his body.
So there cannot be anything that defiles. So I believe Jesus is the most good looking. Amen.
The Bible says in the song of songs, he’s the most attractive of 10 thousands, an expression of the most attractive of all.
Amen. So praise God. So he looks for blemishes because this lamb represents Jesus Christ. OK? So amen.
The hair too long. OK. Can acceptable, OK. Acceptable.
And then the priest will pass me all the while. He doesn’t look at me.
Remember this when you come to God, when you come to God, God is not asking how good are you?
God is asking how good is your lamb man? OK.
So if it’s good, he has a knife, by the way, he says it’s good. He gives me the knife.
This is what they do in those days. You find about this.
Uh You read about this in on, on Yom He which is the Hebrew way of saying the day of atonement.
Amen. You find this also the atonement is done by the priest, but every other day is done by the person who comes to bring the lamb.
This is what he does. He must know that his sins caused the death of the lamb.
OK? Now, before I heal, I forgot one more thing must lay hands. OK?
Now this um can I touch your hair serious business with him? OK. All right.
So, so this is what we do. The uh the offerer. I am the offerer, right?
Representing, representing you and I I lay hands on him. Now watch this all my sins.
This is a picture of identification, laying hands, is a picture of identification. Amen.
Uh When I do this, that means in the eyes of God, all my sins have are now transferred like transferred.
Just imagine something dark and, and sinful and all the my filth and all that all transferred to him plus my diseases transfer.
OK? Now the lamb that is without blemish, without imperfection is now blemish, not in blemish, not in Himself, but because of my sins.
He’s burying my sins. Do you understand is carrying my sins.
Then the priest will pass me the knife. And this is what happens.
I heal the lamb because this is a picture of we must know that when Jesus died on the cross, it is our sins that he bore.
He died for us because God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son.
A bell is not a bell to you. Ring it. A song is not a song to you sing.
It. Love is not love until you give it. Amen.
Love gives God so loved the world that he gave his son and God gave his son when the world don’t care about Him.
When the world was rebelling against him. God gave his son amen.
And this is what we said to God in essence, uh Now this is what we think of, of, of, of your son we took him and we put him on the cross.
Amen and God used the cross as the means. That was his plan.
All the while that Jesus will become the lamb of God. Ok?
So all these sacrificial lambs, they can only cover sin like your credit card. Ok?
Listen be the young people, your credit card is not a payment, right?
Gotta tell your teenagers that if they have a credit card, it is not a payment.
Your credit card is not a payment.
Some of you need to cut your credit card if you are, you know, credit cards, not payment.
It is actually like the lamb. This lamb is waiting for the final payment. Amen.
So this lamp carries my sin. It’s like sin is covered every year. Sin is covered every year.
Sin is covered in Israel, every year, sin is covered, sin is covered.
That’s our old testament in the bible.
Sin is covered until one day a young Jewish rabbi, amen, the son of a carpenter.
At least they thought but he’s the son of God.
He came so humble God could have chosen at a palace for Jesus to be born in.
But he chose the smelly manger with all the bleeding of the lamb and and and the ox and there he was born and 30 years after that, he was a young man and he came by the river Jordan in Israel and John, the Baptist saw him and said, behold.
Look, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
So now it’s not just covered, it is taken away. Right?
Ladies, it’s not just sweeping, sweeping under the carpet. One day the day come lift the carpet.
Vacuum everything. Amen. Now it’s no more covered. Your sin is no more covered.
Your sin is taken away by the blood of Jesus because he is the final payment.
He is the true lamb of God. Amen. So I take the knife and I kill him.
What I love the way he, you’re messing your hair, bro.
OK. So the lamb is taken and put on the altar, OK?
On the altar where it burns, the altar has four corners representing the cross of Jesus Christ. Amen.
And, and when Jesus died on the cross, the altar of all altars, the final altar, the final payment.
God doesn’t want any more payment for sin because Jesus one is perfect. Amen.
When Jesus Christ finished, it was completely finished. And for this lamb right now, he’s no longer himself.
He’s actually me and you because I laid hands on him, right?
So actually the fire comes on him and burning at the altar, the fire represents God’s judgment in the Old Testament.
You know, when, when fire comes on someone that means not only that he’s fired from his job, that means he’s under God’s judgment, right?
In the Old Testament. So today, there’s no more fire from God, you know why?
Because at the cross, Jesus consume all of God’s fiery judgment in his own body for you.
And I, and God designed to be so so that His righteousness, that part of Him, that righteous nature of God is satisfied because there has been a payment, the wages of sin is death.
Jesus took your death and my death, Jesus took your punishment and my punishment.
This is not religion, this is reality. This is a relationship with the God of heaven and earth.
This is love. Now, the judgment is consuming my sacrifice and I walk away a free man.
Not only that I walk away with something I never had.
When I came, I was a sinner under God’s judgment. Amen.
Things were going bad in my life, my crop was failing, you know, and I was getting sick all the time.
There’s no blessing in my life. Amen. Because the Bible says I show them Proverbs real quick.
The blessings are on the head of the righteous somewhere. Alright. Blessings are on the head of the righteous.
Say blessings are on my head. Thank God. I have a big head. Amen.
Blessings are on the head of the righteous is expression of blessings and blessings will come on you when you are the righteous.
Now, this is what God did today.
Those who believe in Christ, in the eyes of God, you are the righteousness of God in Christ. Amen.
So I, I I came just now bringing the lamb under God’s curse under God’s judgment and my life is depressed.
Amen. I’m introspective. I’m seeing all kinds of terrible things in myself. Amen.
And, and, and my life is so, uh, uh, you know, so frustrating.
I, I, I, I don’t call this a good life. I have plenty of money. Amen.
But I’m, I, I’m a rich, poor man. I’m, I’m a poor man with plenty of money. Amen.
Now, watch this after the sacrifice is being consumed. I walk away. Now I walk away. Different.
I walk away. He took my place. I take his place.
Now, now the blessings of God shine on me.
The sunlight of God’s favor shines on me everywhere I go. Amen. I find that favor abounds.
I have favor with God and with men. I find the blessings of God abound in my life.
Best of all, there’s peace in my heart. Amen. Peace with God which translate the peace of mind.
Peace of soul can have a good Amen. Amen. So praise the Lord.
You walk away different than when you first came. Why the transfer took place? Amen. All right.
Give him a good hand. Thank you very much. Praise the Lord. OK.
Uh We are about to close. So don’t worry. Uh It’s a very short sermon. Amen.
Um Blessed are the short winded for, they shall be invited back. Amen.
You know people who talk and talk and talk and talk, right? You don’t like that, right?
One of them may, may ask you, hey, do you have a cure for insomnia?
Just tell them, try talking to yourself. You have friends like that.
That anyway right now, sit back, I’m gonna show you what transpired at the cross.
Many years ago. I saw this in my spirit.
It’s like a vision the Lord gave me of what happened at the cross.
The Bible says, Jesus became the lamb of God to take your sins and mine. Amen.
And this is what happened in the spirit world. Looking behind the scene, this is what happened.
And the Bible says exactly this happened. Sit back and watch it.
Oh, for they know not what they do.
My God, my God.
Why have you forsaken me? No.
Right.
Finished father into your hands.
I commit my spirit.
Hey man, praise the Lord.
This is the Avenger of all Avengers. Amen. He avenge your sins. Amen.
He avenged your enemy who hates you. Satan himself at the cross. He loved you. He defended you.
This is truly the end game finished. Amen. All our sins come.
So come on, give him praise. Hallelujah.
You know, uh many, many years ago in the uh probably in the early 18 hundreds when the settlers think of cowboy, ok.
The settlers in the midwest, they were trying to find a homestead and places to, to build their families and, and to have a home and, and the ranch and all that, they would travel in wagons.
How many of them would travel in wagons for safety?
And uh also, uh to find help with each other, they usually travel as families and close friends.
So they would travel in wagons.
It’s a true story and one particular instance the day after they, they traverse a long river the next day as they were traveling, they saw from afar some billows of smoke, dark smoke and the smoke was traveling in one straight line and, and they knew that it was wildfire and the fire was consuming the dry grass.
It’s very dry, it’s very hot. And uh the, the fire was coming very fast.
They knew, even though it’s far away, there’s no way they can outrun with their, their wagons and their Children.
They knew that that there was a river that they crossed uh yesterday and all that, there’s no way they can reach the river.
If they can reach the river, they’ll be safe. But there’s no way because it’s too far back.
But one of them stood up some guy with some experience and he said this quickly take your light, your, your, your light, your lighters, whatever they had in those days, say strike fire behind you.
So behind them, they were all in this straight line and the fire was coming this way, not, it’s obvious the wind was blowing really strong this way.
So he says, build a fire at the back, right, the whole stretch.
So they, they, they started a fire that burned this way, not towards them because the wind was blowing this way.
So it’s burning all the way, creating a path here.
A complete spot here that’s dried up, that is completely burned the patch area.
And quickly he says, bring all the wagon and everyone, the women, Children and all, and all of you stand in the burn place.
So they, they all went to the burn place and they stood down there.
A little girl was crying and she was telling the leader of the, the, the the group saying, you know, are we gonna get burned?
Are we gonna get burned? He says to my little child, don’t be afraid.
We will not be burned because we are standing where the fire has been you.
And I, we stand before God, even though God is holy.
Amen, we are standing where the fire has burned for all our sins, your sins and my sins and friend.
We stand before God today. Not only our sins are transferred to Jesus Christ on the cross, but Jesus righteousness is transferred to you.
You walked away as if you are Jesus and God will treat you as if you are Jesus as if you are fully obedient and all the blessings of God will come on you and smack you.
Amen. Left right center, the blessings of God will overtake you. You can run fast enough to escape it.
Goodness and mercy will hunt you down. Amen. You’ll find goodness in your life.
Praise the Lord because the Lord Jesus says, I’ve come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.
It’s a friend. The law was given to Moses. But grace and truth came to Jesus Christ.
The law says, if you are a sinner and leprosy those days, they are people who are lepers, you know, they are white all over it and, and, and they have patches and all that and, and people with leprosy, you cannot touch them or else you become unclean.
So that’s the law of Moses. The law of Moses is that sin.
Uncleanness is more powerful sin, uncleanness can contaminate you.
Everyone in this world is under sin and sin is rampant, right? So who will be a champion?
Who will be the Avenger against sin? Who will be the one that can overcome all this for us?
Jesus came amen. Now watch this.
When Jesus met the leper, he preached the sermon on the mound and I I was just there last month, the very spot where he preached the sermon on the mound.
A number of years ago, I was at the same spot where he preached the sermon on the mount, that very area right now.
There’s a banana plantation down there. The mountain is still there.
And one of those huge rocks is where I believe Jesus sat on and after he preached the sermon on the mount, the Bible says, he went the other way and the crowds followed him.
So I was going the other way. I left my pastors there for a while.
I went the other way. And then I saw there was some huge rocks here and there.
And I thought to myself, the Bible says, right after this instance of preaching to the crowd, a leper was probably hiding, came out from hiding and met Jesus and says, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.
The Bible says, Jesus says, I am willing. Every one of you.
Listen, you come to Jesus and you say, Lord, I am unclean but you can make me clean.
I am disease. You can set me free.
Lord, I I am depressed but you can give me your peace, whatever it is, he will never let you go off saying today, I’m not in a good mood.
It is always, I am willing. People always wonder. They know God has the power.
So the leopard didn’t ask if you have the power.
He says, if you are willing, you can make me clean.
Jesus says, listen to these words, I am willing, Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever.
And Jesus touched the leper and watch this under the law.
You touch the leper, you become unclean, but here the unclean became clean is reversed.
Amen, which means Jesus grace is greater than all our sins. Amen. Are you listening?
You know, don’t be so shocked with your sin. Don’t be so shocked with your whatever you see in yourself.
Jesus grace is greater. It will overwhelm him. Amen.
And for the final one and then I’ll close, sit back and watch this scene that we did because of what I saw down there.
I came back and I asked my team to come up with this beautiful video. It’s gonna touch your heart.
It’s gonna speak to you and you know something all of us are like the leer without sin because leprosy is a picture of sin on us.
And Jesus came a long way to find us, sit back and enjoy.
Blessed are the core in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn for. They shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek for, they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful for, they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart for.
They shall see God blessed are the peacemakers for, they shall be called sons of God.
No one can serve two masters or either He will hate the one and love the other or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore, I say to you do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink nor about your body, what you will put on.
It’s not life more than food and the body more than clothing.
Look at the birds of the air for they neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns.
Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Which of you by worrying can add one Cuban to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow? They neither toil nor spin.
And yet I say to you that even Solomon in all His glory was not arrayed like one of these.
If God just the the grass you face.
Hm. And the rain descended, the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house and it did not fall for, it was founded on the rock 20 Lord.
If you are willing, you can make me clean.
I am willing be cleansed.
The Bible.
The Bible says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever we’re not talking about, you know, a religion, Christianity should never be made into a religion.
Amen. It is grace and truth. It is a relationship. Amen.
This is God reaching out to you, not men trying to keep the 10 commandments, man, trying his best men doing this man doing no, no, it’s God coming down and declaring His love for us.
Amen, dying for our sins. God cannot just forgive without payment, amen. Or else he’s not right.
Like a judge cannot just presumptuously let a prison or a criminal free unless there’s a payment. Amen.
Usually he pays for it with time. You do the crime, you do the time, right?
But Jesus took our place, died in our place.
And today we celebrate resurrection because he rose from the dead.
And the Bible says in Romans four and I’ll close with this. It says that Jesus was delivered.
Look at the last part, Jesus was delivered up because of our offenses, our sins.
But he was raised up. Why? Because of our being declared righteous. Who did you hear that? Why?
Why, why did Jesus, why was Jesus delivered to the cross because of our offenses, our sins against God, against the Holy God?
Amen? But why was, why was Jesus raised from the dead?
Because we were declared righteous by whom by God. In other words, Jesus resurrection means you are acquitted.
You are righteous. How do you know a pri a prisoner has fulfilled his obligations right?
To the, to the, to the law. How by Him coming out? Amen. He has paid for it.
So Jesus came out of the grave bodily and God declared us righteous.
That’s why God raised Jesus from the dead. God didn’t raise Jesus because He is God’s son.
He always is that. But God raised Jesus because we were declared righteous because the same body that carried your sins.
And mine at the cross three days ago now rose from the dead without our sins.
What does that mean? That means God is satisfied with what he did.
God accepts it and God imputes righteousness to you.
If you believe on Him, God declares you righteous and all the blessings of the righteous will come on your head.
Amen. Praise the Lord. Give him praise church. Hallelujah. Thank you Lord.
But just like back to the choice thing, you gotta choose to believe. Amen.
Only those who believe God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Believe. Don’t try to reason believe. Don’t try to put in your own effort to, to be your own savior.
Amen. Don’t, don’t, don’t grow old and die and miss the very essence of what life is all about is a gift from God.
Amen. Praise the Lord. Remember this, there’s an enemy out there called Satan, the devil.
And he’s the one behind all the world’s sorrows because one day this earth, by the way, there’s not a message keep on coming.
I’ll be preaching why there’s so much mess in this earth. Amen. It’s not God’s doing.
God gave the earth to man and man gave the earth to the devil.
So the devil’s le is running out, by the way. Amen.
God never made earth with earth, earth with earthquakes and all kinds of tsunamis.
And things like that, even the disease and all that you heard just now came because of sin.
But there’s not a message altogether, but just suffice to say this.
Jesus says the thief that is your enemy, the devil, he comes to steal, kill, destroy.
But Jesus says I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly. Amen.
So I don’t offer you a date, Christ. I offer you a living Christ.
He’s alive today and he loves you. Amen.
Thank you Lord Jesus all across this place and everywhere that’s watching this right now.
If you put your trust in Christ, it’s a matter of decision. Is it?
I believe it, Father God, I believe your word and I believe that you love me and I believe you gave your son to die for me.
If that is you, wherever you are right now, pray, just pray with me right now from your heart.
Heavenly Father. I thank you for your gift.
The greatest gift of all your son Jesus Christ.
He died on the cross for my sins, took all my judgment, my condemnation upon himself and finish it all.
There’s no more judgment from you in my life.
No more condemnation from now on.
I thank you that you see me in Christ as if I’m Jesus and you bless me accordingly.
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and you raised him from the dead because you declared me righteous, acquitted thank you father in Jesus name.
And all the people said, amen, praise God, stand to your feet.
I’m gonna dismiss you with the blessings of God and the protection of God.
You know, we do this in our church every week.
We dismiss people with the blessings of God because prayer is not just to soothe you.
It is ready to position even cause events to to go into, into motion for this week to put you at the right place at the right time in the world we live in today.
Our smarts is not enough. Only God can put us at the right place at the right time. Amen.
I’m gonna pray that for you and God protect you and your family from harm and danger. Amen.
Lift your hands all across this place. Father in heaven.
I thank you Lord, because we are righteous in your eyes. All the prayers of the people here.
When they pray, you hear, amen is the prayers, the factual fervent prayers of a righteous man that avails thank you, Father.
And right now in the name of Jesus, the Lord bless you and your families this coming week, the Lord bless you with the blessings of Father Abraham, the Lord bless you all that you touch prosper.
The Lord, protect you from every harm you and your loved ones, from every danger, from every sickness, from all the power of the evil one through the blood of his son, through that blood that has remitted your sins through that same blood.
You have divine protection. I confess that and I declare that over you and your families.
You are still good, good days ahead of you.
The Lord lift up his countenance and grant to you and your loved ones, his shalom peace in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And all the people said amen. Keep coming again. Alright.
We look forward to have you in the church. It’s a blessed time.
You always leave with this kind of wonderful pump up, fired up feeling. Amen. God bless you, love you.
