Personal Stories

I was raised as a believer but was taught some limiting beliefs. I believed if I was trusting God for something and sinned, spoke negatively about it, or got in strife with someone, that would end my “faith walk” of trusting God for my breakthrough, and I had to start back at square one. I also believed that if my breakthrough took time or wasn’t happening, it was because my faith wasn’t enough.

On Friday, I was driving home from work when I tuned in to Pastor Prince’s sermon “Live the Let-Go Life” on YouTube. It was a rhema word for me, the right message at the right time.

Earlier this year, I had been told by my supervisor that the company had to let me go because the firm was struggling amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed to cut costs and unfortunately that involved the removal of my role. Just like that, I was let go the following day.

I came across Joseph Prince’s website when I was jobless. I searched randomly for testimonies of people who had gotten jobs miraculously and an encouraging praise report came up.

We had always wanted a child from the first year of our marriage back in 2011. However, despite our best efforts, we never managed to conceive. It was not until our second year of marriage that we started consulting doctors to understand the complexity of the issues that both my wife and I were facing.

Pastor Prince, we came from a background where we received heavy legalistic teaching before we discovered the gospel of God’s grace.

In February 2018, just before Chinese New Year, my husband was informed that he would be made redundant by his company. He was given a month’s notice.

One morning in January, I watched a sermon by Pastor Joseph Prince titled, Protection From Danger, Accidents And Diseases, on iTBN. As I listened to the message, the verses from Psalm 91:11–12 jumped out at me: “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.”

For some time now, I was in credit card debt and had no savings. I never seemed to get ahead because there was always something that needed fixing in my house or car.

Every time I visited Singapore before the pandemic, I would always make it a point to visit New Creation Church. I’m so thankful that I can now watch the services online every week.

Our 18-year-old daughter had been estranged from us for about 7 years. It was so painful, and at many times, it was hard to choose to keep going. We rested in the Lord’s promises of restoration we heard from listening to Pastor Prince’s messages for over 5 years.

I had to register for my Honors degree at the start of 2015. However, I was unable to as my dad could not afford the fees after paying for my three-year undergraduate course.
