I had been working for almost 20 years, holding senior leadership positions in some global technological companies in the last six years. Due to global restructuring, I was given a golden handshake (severance package) in September 2012 and had been on the lookout for my next career. Despite reaching out to many head-hunters, there had only been a few opportunities that surfaced.

In December 2012, right after I came back from our church’s Israel trip, I had two opportunities but somehow, the doors were closed, I could not understand why. I felt down and discouraged. I held on to the word for our church that God would close doors that are not good for us and He would open doors that are best for us and what He opens, no man can shut.

In January 2013, the very same company that had closed its door of opportunity, came back to me and asked if I was interested in another role. Not only was I given a more senior role, but the company’s profile and the larger regional exposure were what I’d wanted all my life.

The chemistry with my immediate boss was very good. My new package was also 50 per cent more than the earlier opportunities that the Lord had closed. I can only look up to Jesus and know that He has opened this door of opportunity. Looking back, I have learnt to be patient and to wait upon the Lord for His blessings.

I am so thankful to Jesus and hold steadfast to His promise in Jeremiah 29:11. Indeed, He has a plan for all of us, and a plan that will prosper us to give us a future and a hope.

Glory to God. Hallelujah!

My wife and I were married on 6 November 2010 by Pastor Gabriel Tan.

Although we had been believing God for a baby since our marriage, we were relying on our own efforts to “make it happen”. After a few months of waiting, my friends started to give me “tips” to increase our chances of pregnancy. Some even advised that we see a doctor. Needless to say, nothing materialised out of our own self-efforts to conceive.

On 11 May 2011, Pastor Lawrence Lim shared with us his experience of how his firstborn was given by God and that no amount of self-efforts could produce a baby. He taught us to rest and told us that “the battle belongs to the Lord”.

We also attended a seminar by Pastor Nerida Walker where she confirmed in the Word that it is God’s will that no woman shall be barren. From then on, we no longer strived to make our baby a reality, but trusted God that we would be given our promised child in His timing.

Sometime in April 2012, as I was reading Psalm 113 in my Bible, I read in verse 9 that “He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children." It was something that Pastor Prince had previously taught us. This verse jumped out at me and I started to meditate on it. 

On 6 April 2012, the Holy Spirit prompted me that God would fulfil His promise of a child. The conviction was so strong that when my wife missed her appointment to carry out an X-ray on her back, I didn’t nag her to proceed as soon as possible. Instead, I told her to give the X-ray a miss.

Soon after, my wife took a test and found out that she was pregnant. Throughout the pregnancy, we constantly experienced God's grace. When I started worrying about how to bring up my child in the ways of the Lord, Pastor Prince preached the sermon titled, Parenting Keys For Today, on 28 October 2012.

Yeo Hao En Gideon was born on 13 November 2012, a wonderful, handsome and healthy baby boy. We thank the Lord for His love and blessings.

Thank you Pastor Prince for your message of grace and for the wonderful family of New Creation Church.

Dear Pastor Prince,

I purchased your sermon, The Power Of The Anointing Oil, but only got to listen to it sometime later on 24 February 2013. I had been suffering from a pain in my tailbone for many months and tried massages and muscle relaxants, but they only provided short-term relief.

After listening to your sermon, I immediately went ahead to get a bottle of olive oil and prayed over it. The very night after partaking of the Holy Communion, I opened my bottle of "freshly anointed oil" and applied it on the affected area. Instantly, I felt a heat sensation around my tailbone while I declared healing over it. Subsequently, I went to bed.

The following day, I didn’t feel the pain anymore. I wanted to be absolutely sure so I waited for one more day. Indeed, the pain had gone away. God had completely healed me!

Praise the Lord! I now know that we don’t have to dwell on whether He will or will not heal, but to believe boldly that healing is already ours to claim. All we need to do is to just believe His Word and receive His healing.
