Following what he described
as "ten years of building, encouraging, and inspiring people with the
gospel of Jesus Christ through television broadcasts, new media technology, and
humanitarian outreach" Singapore based Grace preacher ,Joseph Prince,
founder of the popular Joseph Prince Ministries announced to partners with
excitement on Wednesday that the church has hit the decade mark.
The Ministry came into
being in 2007.
In a letter to
partners of the church, made available to TRN by the Ministry's today, the now
famous Pastor thanked the partners "for believing in and supporting the
work of this ministry over the past ten years. Your faith-filled prayers and
financial support have made a difference as the Grace Revolution continues to
spread across the world".
Recounting how the Grace
Revolution came into being, the pastor narrated that " While on vacation
in the Swiss Alps with his wife Wendy in 1997, there amid the majestic
landscape, the Lord spoke these words to me about preaching on His grace
without attempting to balance or mix it with law. “If you don’t preach pure,
unadulterated grace, people’s lives will never be gloriously blessed and
gloriously transformed.” the Lord mentioned to him.
gloriously transformed.” the Lord mentioned to him.
Eager to see lives
liberated from and victorious over every destructive habit and sin, he
said he fully embraced His mandate and went home to begin preaching the
gospel that the apostle Paul had preached, to his church congregation in
Singapore.
"From that point on,
this ministry has been all about exalting the person and grace of our Lord
Jesus, and His perfect finished work. Very quickly, my church grew
exponentially as people experienced a genuine encounter with their beautiful
Saviour through the gospel of grace.
"During the time my
church in Singapore was enjoying His grace, the Lord was also showing me how
the gospel of grace needed to go beyond the four walls of our church.
"God began to open
doors for this ministry and in April 2007, we aired our first television
broadcast on Daystar Television. Many who watched the broadcast wrote to tell
us how they were greatly blessed and profoundly impacted as they heard for the
first time how God loves them unconditionally in spite of their imperfections
and wants to bless them with His undeserved, unearned, and unmerited grace.
"As viewership grew
and more people tuned in to watch and hear that grace is all about the love of
God through the person of Jesus, the ministry began to increase the number of
broadcasts. Soon, the gospel of grace was being broadcast daily through
multiple television networks, as well as online via our ministry website.
Today, our broadcast
program has more than 230 airings a week across America, allowing millions to
hear about the amazing love of our wonderful Savior.".
According to him, One of the biggest
highlights for him over the last ten years has been to see the Lord open the
door for the gospel of grace to be shared in Israel, stressing that given
the special place that Israel has in God’s heart, he consider it a great
privilege to have preached about His grace on location in the Holy Land back in
2012 and more recently in 2016.
"And thanks to
satellite technology, people in God’s chosen nation are now hearing about the
gospel of grace as our program is broadcast daily in Israel. It is so amazing
to see how the gospel had gone one full circle back to the land where it all
began! Praise the Lord for His favor on this ministry!"he intoned.
“Over the years, I have also
been blessed to have personally connected with many precious people around the
world whenever I speak at events or in churches. It was wonderful being in
America in 2013 and 2015, where I was able to share powerful, Christ-exalting
messages with precious individuals in Houston, Dallas, New York City, and Los
Angeles.
"I felt so refreshed
to have met with individuals who openly shared with me how they have been set
free from bondages, and are today living and enjoying the new covenant truths
and promises that Jesus purchased with His own blood. From restoration of
marriages to supernatural cancellation of debts, miraculous healings, and
liberation from long-term destructive addictions, many of these precious souls
are now living glorious lives!"
In the letter which was
made available to TRN by the Ministries home office, Joseph Prince further
reported that his first book, Destined To Reign, was
published in 2007 to help believers understand that God’s secret to reigning
effortlessly in life is all about receiving the gift of righteousness through
Jesus’ finished work at the cross.
Continuing,
"Amazingly, ten years on,"he said, " this book is still changing
lives—testimonies are still coming in weekly from people who tell me how their
lives have been turned around for the better after reading Destined To
Reign.
"I am deeply moved and
humbled that God is still using this book, as well as my other teaching
resources, to help precious individuals navigate their way to freedom. Your
prayers have definitely made a difference!"he said of the Partners.
According to him, The Lord
put in his heart to set up a local church with leaders who can minister His
unadulterated grace to His flock and point them back to Jesus’ finished work
and who they are in Christ, submitting that everything he teaches about the
gospel of grace functions best in the context of a local church where there
is fellowship, accountability, and wise counsel. Something powerful, he added,
happens when God’s people are planted in an assembly of believers that is part
of the body of Christ. Hence, he said in 2014, the Lord led the way for
the setting up of Grace Revolution Church (gracerev.org) in Dallas, Texas.
"Now, a spiritually
vibrant community of Jesus-centered believers gather each Sunday to proclaim
the beauty of Jesus and His finished work at the cross. They also seek to
cultivate authentic relationships with one another through frequent fellowship
and help those in need via Christ-centered outreach programs."he
mentioned.
