Prophetic Word For The Year – 2012 - A Year Of Unceasing Fruitfulness

On January 01, 2012, Pastor Joseph Prince of New Creation Church shared with the church the theme given by the Lord for the year 2012 that it will be "a year of unceasing fruitfulness" as spoken in Jeremiah 17:5-8.
Jeremiah 17:5-8
New King James Version (NKJV)
⁵ Thus says the LORD:  “ Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD.

⁶ For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
⁷ “ Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.
⁸ For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear^[a] when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.

The Lord likens us to be trees planted by the river and where there is moisture there is good nourishment and when the tree is healthy it will bring forth green leaves that has good medicinal value. In addition, the tree will not cease to bear fruit even in a year of drought as it is firmly rooted by the river.

The key to the blessings is that the tree is planted by the river and its rich source of water.
The word of God is the river with the running waters and we are encouraged to draw from the River; we are to meditate on the word of our Lord, an action of committing to memory and then bringing it back up to meditate on it and then letting the word sink into our hearts and permeate our entire being.

When we are immersed in God's word, the fruit will come just like the tree does not concentrate on producing fruit but the roots of the tree concentrate on drawing up water for its own nourishment and then the fruit will be produced naturally.

So as we enter into the year 2012, let us hold fast to His promise that it will indeed be a year of unceasing fruitfulness even in the midst of a drought in the world.

Prophetic Word For The Year – 2011 - A Year Crowned With His Goodness And Our Paths Dripping With His Abundance

The year 2011 started with great hopes for many as the Singapore economy was chugging away at a very healthy pace after the stellar performance in 2010. There were great expectations for good salary increments and bonuses carried over from the previous year and so when Pastor Prince shared the theme for 2011 with the church on Sunday January 02nd, the church received the word with gladness and ran with it.

When the US and European markets began to show a slowdown towards the middle of the year, we had to be reminded not to focus on ourselves but on what the Lord had given us - that the year has been crowned with His goodness and that the year will end well with abundance.
2011 was a challenging year for me as in the area of my business and I saw a slow-down in the number of projects. However to my amazement there was no lack as we were able to cruise through with supernatural provisions of finances. As I began to look away from the physical and focused on what the Lord has for me, things started to move in the supernatural. I had calls from potential clients wanting to engage my services from 2012 onwards and projects that I thought were buried were revived supernaturally. One of my clients wanted to engage the services of my company back in late 2010 but due to non-availability of government subsidies turned down my proposal quotation in January 2011. However in April 2011 there was a revision in the definitions on eligibility by the government agency and immediately this same client could avail itself of the subsidy and so they started to engage their head-office in discussions on budgets. The project received a further boost when its branch in Thailand was almost submerged in the Bangkok floods between August and October and I was called to receive the good news that they were finally able to engage my services.
Another blessing came in the form of a 'three-fold' package. One lead company wanted to come alongside with two of its smaller but critical vendors to implement business continuity management as a group but the lead company did not qualify as it was deemed to be a subsidiary of a government statutory body and hence all three automatically became non-eligible. However by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the decision was reversed and now all three companies will be eligible for the subsidies.
Indeed the Lord had crowned my 2011 with His goodness and He had caused my path to be dripping with His abundance and as I entered the new year 2012, it is with great joy knowing the He NEVER fails but is always ever ready to bless and prosper me.

Prophetic Word For The Year - 2010 - Year Of Restful Increase

With an expectant heart many of us at New Creation Church attended the services on Sunday January 3rd believing that the Lord indeed has a word of prophecy for us for this year and surely He did not fail to deliver us the word. Through Pastor Joseph Prince, the Lord declared that this year 2010 will be a "Year of Restful Increase".

 We will see our increase (especially for those who had not experienced theirs in 2009) but we are to adopt a restful stance as we see our respective increase unfold before our very eyes. We are not to struggle for it or to worry and become agitated over it for surely the Lord WILL provide as He had always done so.

Now, does that mean we are not to do any work? just rest and the results will pop up before us? No, that is not what the Lord meant. For those who want to believe the word given, we are to continue to work at whatever we are doing but ours is not to strive hard for it. We are to adopt the stance that Jesus so often in the gospels had admonished us to do, "let not your hearts be trouble". 

So we are not to worry about the outcome when we put in our efforts for the Lord will surely give the increase. Just as the farmer goes out there to till the land and sow the seeds in the ground and God will take care of the growth, likewise He will do the same for our situations for surely we are worth more than the sparrows in the air.

Indeed one month of 2010 had just gone by us and we need to constantly remind ourselves of WHOSE we are; we are children of the MOST HIGH GOD (El Shaddai and El Elyon) and nothing is too small for Him to overlook nor too big for Him to overcome for He is our Creator God and if He cared to give us the Greatest Possession He Had - His Beloved Darling Son to die for us on the cross - how will He withhold from us our requests?
