  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:35.505 --> 00:01:37.674
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:37.674 --> 00:01:39.008
  • Joseph prince: you know, you may have five loaves
  • 00:01:39.008 --> 00:01:40.343
  • And two fish and you say, "what are these among so many,
  • 00:01:40.343 --> 00:01:43.079
  • Among so much needs that i have in my family,
  • 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.582
  • In my job, in my career?
  • 00:01:45.582 --> 00:01:49.052
  • What do i have?
  • 00:01:49.052 --> 00:01:50.386
  • I have only these qualifications.
  • 00:01:50.386 --> 00:01:51.721
  • What are these among so many?"
  • 00:01:51.721 --> 00:01:53.056
  • But when the lord blesses it-- i say, when the lord blesses it,
  • 00:01:53.056 --> 00:01:57.460
  • It will prosper.
  • 00:01:57.460 --> 00:01:58.928
  • Today i want to share with you one thing,
  • 00:01:58.928 --> 00:02:00.730
  • One thing that you can do, just one thing that you can do
  • 00:02:00.730 --> 00:02:03.199
  • That will cause you to prosper in every area of your life.
  • 00:02:03.199 --> 00:02:06.102
  • How many would like to know that?
  • 00:02:06.102 --> 00:02:07.837
  • Just one thing, just one thing that you do.
  • 00:02:07.837 --> 00:02:09.906
  • And i learned this when i was about 14, 15 years old,
  • 00:02:09.906 --> 00:02:11.874
  • Believe it or not.
  • 00:02:11.874 --> 00:02:13.209
  • Many years ago, one of the first things
  • 00:02:13.209 --> 00:02:14.978
  • God taught me was this truth:
  • 00:02:14.978 --> 00:02:16.312
  • That this is one thing that you do,
  • 00:02:16.312 --> 00:02:18.248
  • And you will prosper in every area of your life.
  • 00:02:18.248 --> 00:02:22.085
  • First and foremost, look at the life of joseph
  • 00:02:22.085 --> 00:02:23.987
  • Because there are some people who have joined us,
  • 00:02:23.987 --> 00:02:25.455
  • And they say that, "pastor prince,
  • 00:02:25.455 --> 00:02:26.789
  • All this prosperity,"
  • 00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:28.124
  • And all they are thinking of is money, money, and more money.
  • 00:02:28.124 --> 00:02:31.561
  • I'm not talking about prosperity in terms of money.
  • 00:02:31.561 --> 00:02:33.663
  • Yes, it may involve money.
  • 00:02:33.663 --> 00:02:34.998
  • Money is just a small part of it.
  • 00:02:34.998 --> 00:02:36.933
  • When god says you prosper-- look at this man.
  • 00:02:36.933 --> 00:02:39.102
  • He was a slave in an egyptian house.
  • 00:02:39.102 --> 00:02:42.238
  • His name is joseph.
  • 00:02:42.238 --> 00:02:43.573
  • "the lord was with joseph, and he was a prosperous man,"
  • 00:02:43.573 --> 00:02:46.943
  • In the old king james.
  • 00:02:46.943 --> 00:02:48.278
  • This new king james: "he was a successful man;
  • 00:02:48.278 --> 00:02:51.447
  • And he was in the house of his master the egyptian."
  • 00:02:51.447 --> 00:02:53.950
  • Remember, right now, where you see him,
  • 00:02:53.950 --> 00:02:56.519
  • He just came into the house.
  • 00:02:56.519 --> 00:02:58.221
  • He was sold at the slave market.
  • 00:02:58.221 --> 00:03:01.424
  • Joseph came from a very blessed family.
  • 00:03:01.424 --> 00:03:06.129
  • He has a very good lineage from abraham, isaac, jacob.
  • 00:03:06.129 --> 00:03:10.300
  • He's the son of jacob-- all right?--
  • 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.201
  • One of the twelve sons of jacob,
  • 00:03:12.201 --> 00:03:13.970
  • And his brothers were jealous of him
  • 00:03:13.970 --> 00:03:15.471
  • Because he was favored by the father.
  • 00:03:15.471 --> 00:03:17.573
  • His story is the clearest type of our lord jesus christ--
  • 00:03:17.573 --> 00:03:22.078
  • How he was rejected by his jewish brothers,
  • 00:03:22.078 --> 00:03:24.347
  • Became the bread of life to the gentile world--
  • 00:03:24.347 --> 00:03:27.583
  • Amen?--how they didn't recognize him
  • 00:03:27.583 --> 00:03:29.352
  • The first time they saw him.
  • 00:03:29.352 --> 00:03:30.687
  • The first coming of jesus,
  • 00:03:30.687 --> 00:03:32.021
  • Jesus's jewish brothers never recognized him, amen?
  • 00:03:32.021 --> 00:03:34.757
  • And for 2,000 years, he's the bread of life
  • 00:03:34.757 --> 00:03:36.259
  • To all of us.
  • 00:03:36.259 --> 00:03:37.593
  • Second coming, how jesus said, "i am your brother joseph.
  • 00:03:37.593 --> 00:03:42.432
  • And a heavenly joseph will reveal himself
  • 00:03:42.432 --> 00:03:44.400
  • And all israel will be saved," the bible tells us.
  • 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.602
  • So there's a lot of beautiful types and shadows
  • 00:03:46.602 --> 00:03:49.305
  • That is hidden there about our lord jesus christ.
  • 00:03:49.305 --> 00:03:52.041
  • So they were jealous of joseph, and they sold him
  • 00:03:52.041 --> 00:03:54.110
  • To a passing caravan of midianites,
  • 00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:57.380
  • And the midianites brought him all the way to egypt.
  • 00:03:57.380 --> 00:04:00.683
  • At the egypt slave market, he was being sold.
  • 00:04:00.683 --> 00:04:02.952
  • Imagine how you feel standing down there,
  • 00:04:02.952 --> 00:04:05.188
  • Tied--all right?-- most likely completely naked.
  • 00:04:05.188 --> 00:04:07.824
  • And they are saying, "100, 100, 500, 500, 800, 800, 1,000,
  • 00:04:07.824 --> 00:04:12.428
  • 2,000," and on and on and on.
  • 00:04:12.428 --> 00:04:13.996
  • You are being sold like cattle.
  • 00:04:13.996 --> 00:04:16.566
  • And all of a sudden, someone gave the highest bid,
  • 00:04:16.566 --> 00:04:18.901
  • And it was potiphar.
  • 00:04:18.901 --> 00:04:20.470
  • So that's when you see this story.
  • 00:04:20.470 --> 00:04:22.171
  • So he went to potiphar's house, remember?
  • 00:04:22.171 --> 00:04:24.173
  • No proper clothes on his back.
  • 00:04:24.173 --> 00:04:26.075
  • Probably they just dressed him up
  • 00:04:26.075 --> 00:04:27.577
  • In the most crude and elementary clothing--
  • 00:04:27.577 --> 00:04:32.782
  • Right?--of a slave.
  • 00:04:32.782 --> 00:04:34.584
  • And yet the bible says, "the lord was with joseph,
  • 00:04:34.584 --> 00:04:36.652
  • And he was a successful man."
  • 00:04:36.652 --> 00:04:39.222
  • The most important thing-- you might not have--
  • 00:04:39.222 --> 00:04:40.923
  • You know, i don't believe for one moment
  • 00:04:40.923 --> 00:04:42.325
  • He has anything that he can call his own.
  • 00:04:42.325 --> 00:04:44.894
  • So for us, even if there's no bank account,
  • 00:04:44.894 --> 00:04:47.130
  • There's no savings account, there is no stocks,
  • 00:04:47.130 --> 00:04:49.932
  • Or whatever it is-- all right?--we have nothing,
  • 00:04:49.932 --> 00:04:52.135
  • Literally nothing, we're not even married,
  • 00:04:52.135 --> 00:04:53.736
  • We have nothing, as long as the lord is with you,
  • 00:04:53.736 --> 00:04:57.640
  • You will end up with everything.
  • 00:04:57.640 --> 00:05:00.777
  • And that's why the message was so clear,
  • 00:05:00.777 --> 00:05:02.745
  • And we don't have jewish minds.
  • 00:05:02.745 --> 00:05:04.313
  • We don't have old testament mindset.
  • 00:05:04.313 --> 00:05:06.682
  • So when the angel appeared to mary to announce
  • 00:05:06.682 --> 00:05:09.585
  • The birth of jesus and the angel says,
  • 00:05:09.585 --> 00:05:12.688
  • "and his name will be emmanuel," which means "god is with us."
  • 00:05:12.688 --> 00:05:17.093
  • The lord was with joseph.
  • 00:05:17.093 --> 00:05:18.628
  • For the parents, they jump for joy
  • 00:05:18.628 --> 00:05:20.496
  • Because when they hear that, that means what?
  • 00:05:20.496 --> 00:05:22.999
  • You'll be successful.
  • 00:05:22.999 --> 00:05:24.333
  • Your family will be blessed, amen?
  • 00:05:24.333 --> 00:05:26.869
  • You are a specially favored family.
  • 00:05:26.869 --> 00:05:29.372
  • And you can put your name there: "the lord was--"
  • 00:05:29.372 --> 00:05:32.108
  • I don't have to--okay, you can put your name there.
  • 00:05:32.108 --> 00:05:35.945
  • "the lord was with joseph, and he was a successful man."
  • 00:05:35.945 --> 00:05:40.082
  • Can i have a good amen. all right?
  • 00:05:40.082 --> 00:05:41.884
  • And this kind of success from the lord--
  • 00:05:41.884 --> 00:05:44.554
  • No one can push you down
  • 00:05:44.554 --> 00:05:46.589
  • When the lord makes you a success, amen?
  • 00:05:46.589 --> 00:05:49.459
  • It's like a plastic ball.
  • 00:05:49.459 --> 00:05:51.194
  • They try to push it down into the water.
  • 00:05:51.194 --> 00:05:54.130
  • The moment their effort is not there, it bounces back up.
  • 00:05:54.130 --> 00:05:56.766
  • That's your life.
  • 00:05:56.766 --> 00:05:58.401
  • They might push you down for a while,
  • 00:05:58.401 --> 00:05:59.735
  • But you always bounce back, amen.
  • 00:05:59.735 --> 00:06:01.704
  • It'll bounce to the top. praise the lord, amen.
  • 00:06:01.704 --> 00:06:04.507
  • The bible says, "his master saw that the lord was with him
  • 00:06:04.507 --> 00:06:08.110
  • And that the lord made all he did to prosper
  • 00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:10.379
  • In his hand."
  • 00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:12.048
  • What an amazing statement, what an awesome thing
  • 00:06:12.048 --> 00:06:16.319
  • When heathens like potiphar,
  • 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.088
  • Who obviously worshiped the sun god of egypt,
  • 00:06:19.088 --> 00:06:23.459
  • And he could see that the lord-- not his sun god, but the lord--
  • 00:06:23.459 --> 00:06:28.130
  • Was with joseph.
  • 00:06:28.130 --> 00:06:30.099
  • What an amazing statement to your family, to your friends,
  • 00:06:30.099 --> 00:06:32.368
  • Your classmates, your colleagues,
  • 00:06:32.368 --> 00:06:34.403
  • Your bosses, amen, that they can see
  • 00:06:34.403 --> 00:06:37.206
  • That the lord is with you.
  • 00:06:37.206 --> 00:06:39.408
  • They can see the lord is with you.
  • 00:06:39.408 --> 00:06:41.511
  • Don't forget: it's not because of the way you dress.
  • 00:06:41.511 --> 00:06:44.080
  • It's not because you are good-looking.
  • 00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:45.781
  • I mean, it's not because of anything like that,
  • 00:06:45.781 --> 00:06:47.149
  • But because he can sense the presence--
  • 00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:49.452
  • There are many others who are like this--
  • 00:06:49.452 --> 00:06:50.920
  • But there's something, a plus factor, about you.
  • 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.422
  • The lord is with you.
  • 00:06:53.422 --> 00:06:55.157
  • How would you like that to be your testimony, amen?
  • 00:06:55.157 --> 00:06:58.728
  • And the bible says this: "and the lord made all he did
  • 00:06:58.728 --> 00:07:01.597
  • To prosper in his hand."
  • 00:07:01.597 --> 00:07:03.933
  • "the lord made all he did to prosper in his hand."
  • 00:07:03.933 --> 00:07:07.703
  • The bible doesn't say that he was diligent,
  • 00:07:07.703 --> 00:07:10.139
  • Although i believe he was.
  • 00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:11.574
  • The bible doesn't say that he was forward-thinking,
  • 00:07:11.574 --> 00:07:13.809
  • Although i believe he was, all right?
  • 00:07:13.809 --> 00:07:16.345
  • The bible doesn't talk about wise planning,
  • 00:07:16.345 --> 00:07:18.114
  • Although i believe he did.
  • 00:07:18.114 --> 00:07:20.216
  • All the bible says is that whatever he did,
  • 00:07:20.216 --> 00:07:22.952
  • The lord made it to prosper.
  • 00:07:22.952 --> 00:07:25.588
  • The lord made it to prosper.
  • 00:07:25.588 --> 00:07:27.723
  • There are a lot of people doing the right things.
  • 00:07:27.723 --> 00:07:30.526
  • You are in a lot of competition.
  • 00:07:30.526 --> 00:07:33.162
  • A lot of people are doing the right things now.
  • 00:07:33.162 --> 00:07:35.598
  • A lot of people know to do the right things now.
  • 00:07:35.598 --> 00:07:37.767
  • With all the access they have in social media
  • 00:07:37.767 --> 00:07:39.468
  • And all the available information
  • 00:07:39.468 --> 00:07:41.103
  • And all that, a lot of people are doing the right things.
  • 00:07:41.103 --> 00:07:43.639
  • But with you, the lord made what you did to prosper.
  • 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:49.011
  • How would you like that to be your testimony?
  • 00:07:49.011 --> 00:07:51.113
  • And the word "prosper" here is the word "tsalach."
  • 00:07:51.113 --> 00:07:54.083
  • Say it, "tsalach, tsalach," all right?
  • 00:07:54.083 --> 00:07:57.620
  • And tsalach means prosper in a way you burst forth,
  • 00:07:57.620 --> 00:08:00.856
  • All right?
  • 00:08:00.856 --> 00:08:02.191
  • You're like water breaking through the dam--tsalach.
  • 00:08:02.191 --> 00:08:04.527
  • It's forward advancement.
  • 00:08:04.527 --> 00:08:06.329
  • It is--the same word is used all over the place,
  • 00:08:06.329 --> 00:08:11.100
  • And most of the hebrew-- the words for prosper
  • 00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:14.403
  • In the old testament-- all right?--
  • 00:08:14.403 --> 00:08:16.072
  • In hebrew is this word, tsalach.
  • 00:08:16.072 --> 00:08:18.441
  • And even when the spirit of god came on samson--read carefully
  • 00:08:18.441 --> 00:08:22.211
  • In the hebrew--the spirit of god tsalach on samson,
  • 00:08:22.211 --> 00:08:25.247
  • Came on him to prosper him.
  • 00:08:25.247 --> 00:08:27.516
  • And he tore the lion apart, all right?
  • 00:08:27.516 --> 00:08:30.453
  • For whatever purpose, amen, i want to pray in jesus's name
  • 00:08:30.453 --> 00:08:34.056
  • That this anointing of tsalach comes on you.
  • 00:08:34.056 --> 00:08:37.026
  • "so joseph found favor in his sight, and served him.
  • 00:08:37.026 --> 00:08:39.295
  • Then he made him overseer of his house,
  • 00:08:39.295 --> 00:08:41.764
  • And all that he had he put under his authority," amen.
  • 00:08:41.764 --> 00:08:45.968
  • So he trusted because the lord is with him
  • 00:08:45.968 --> 00:08:48.070
  • And the lord made everything he touched to prosper.
  • 00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:50.239
  • Whatever it could have meant-- the last time i shared on this,
  • 00:08:50.239 --> 00:08:52.975
  • I talked about maybe he took care of a cabbage patch.
  • 00:08:52.975 --> 00:08:55.244
  • The cabbage start flourishing.
  • 00:08:55.244 --> 00:08:56.746
  • It's the best-tasting cabbage you ever had.
  • 00:08:56.746 --> 00:09:00.249
  • It's the best-tasting cabbage into kimchi.
  • 00:09:00.249 --> 00:09:02.952
  • Somehow it all comes back.
  • 00:09:02.952 --> 00:09:04.286
  • All right, so whether it's the pioka,
  • 00:09:04.286 --> 00:09:06.489
  • Whether it's the way he relates to all the other slaves--
  • 00:09:06.489 --> 00:09:08.724
  • All right?--they liked him.
  • 00:09:08.724 --> 00:09:10.493
  • He had favor with them.
  • 00:09:10.493 --> 00:09:11.894
  • So potiphar noticed this,
  • 00:09:11.894 --> 00:09:13.362
  • And potiphar noticed the plus factor:
  • 00:09:13.362 --> 00:09:15.231
  • That the lord was with joseph.
  • 00:09:15.231 --> 00:09:17.833
  • Now, how many of you, at this point,
  • 00:09:17.833 --> 00:09:19.702
  • You want this to happen to you?
  • 00:09:19.702 --> 00:09:21.470
  • Okay, keep on reading.
  • 00:09:21.470 --> 00:09:22.805
  • It says that-- "so it was, from the time
  • 00:09:22.805 --> 00:09:24.940
  • That he had made him overseer of his house
  • 00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:27.009
  • And all that he had,
  • 00:09:27.009 --> 00:09:28.344
  • That the lord blessed the egyptian's house
  • 00:09:28.344 --> 00:09:30.212
  • For joseph's sake; and the blessing--"
  • 00:09:30.212 --> 00:09:32.348
  • It's possible for god to bless a heathen's house--
  • 00:09:32.348 --> 00:09:34.884
  • All right?-- an unbeliever's company,
  • 00:09:34.884 --> 00:09:37.086
  • For your sake, all right?
  • 00:09:37.086 --> 00:09:39.255
  • And since he did that, "the lord blessed the egyptian's house
  • 00:09:39.255 --> 00:09:41.824
  • For joseph's sake;
  • 00:09:41.824 --> 00:09:43.159
  • And the blessing of the lord was on all that he had
  • 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.128
  • In the house and in the field."
  • 00:09:46.128 --> 00:09:48.898
  • God wants you to prosper and be in health
  • 00:09:48.898 --> 00:09:51.901
  • Even as your souls prosper.
  • 00:09:51.901 --> 00:09:53.903
  • So, again, i repeat: it's more than just money.
  • 00:09:53.903 --> 00:09:57.373
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:09:57.373 --> 00:09:58.741
  • Because joseph had none. he had no money.
  • 00:09:58.741 --> 00:10:01.177
  • Only the lord was with him.
  • 00:10:01.177 --> 00:10:02.511
  • But whatever he did, the lord caused it to prosper.
  • 00:10:02.511 --> 00:10:04.914
  • It's better than a midas touch.
  • 00:10:04.914 --> 00:10:06.882
  • King midas said--whatever he touches, let it turn to gold.
  • 00:10:06.882 --> 00:10:10.152
  • And his wish was granted until his daughter--
  • 00:10:10.152 --> 00:10:12.321
  • His beloved daughter ran to him
  • 00:10:12.321 --> 00:10:14.423
  • And also became a statue of gold.
  • 00:10:14.423 --> 00:10:15.858
  • But this is better: whatever you touch, prospers.
  • 00:10:15.858 --> 00:10:18.728
  • And that's why we lay hands on the sick.
  • 00:10:18.728 --> 00:10:21.263
  • Whatever you touch, prospers.
  • 00:10:21.263 --> 00:10:23.065
  • When you touch the sick, sickness become health.
  • 00:10:23.065 --> 00:10:26.202
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:10:26.202 --> 00:10:27.536
  • You touch your dog, your dog become a happy dog, amen?
  • 00:10:27.536 --> 00:10:31.640
  • I'm referring to your dog, not your husband, okay?
  • 00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:34.110
  • Touch your husband also.
  • 00:10:34.110 --> 00:10:35.444
  • Learn to touch your husband, amen?
  • 00:10:35.444 --> 00:10:36.979
  • And he'll be a happy husband. praise god.
  • 00:10:36.979 --> 00:10:38.481
  • Touch your wife, amen? touch your children.
  • 00:10:38.481 --> 00:10:40.116
  • Bless your children!
  • 00:10:40.116 --> 00:10:41.917
  • Amen, praise the lord. hallelujah.
  • 00:10:41.917 --> 00:10:44.754
  • It's a very interesting thing that this word tsalach, prosper,
  • 00:10:44.754 --> 00:10:48.224
  • Is used here in another passage of the bible,
  • 00:10:48.224 --> 00:10:50.960
  • And this time we see what i meant by saying
  • 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.362
  • Everything you prosper.
  • 00:10:53.362 --> 00:10:54.697
  • Look at this verse: "whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
  • 00:10:54.697 --> 00:10:59.468
  • Let's all read it: "whatsoever he doeth shall prosper,"
  • 00:10:59.468 --> 00:11:04.006
  • Or she doeth.
  • 00:11:04.006 --> 00:11:05.341
  • This is the old king james. "whatever you do will prosper."
  • 00:11:05.341 --> 00:11:11.013
  • "whatever" means whatever, nothing excepted, amen?
  • 00:11:11.013 --> 00:11:15.317
  • Even your mistakes can prosper, amen?
  • 00:11:15.317 --> 00:11:20.122
  • I say even your mistakes can prosper.
  • 00:11:20.122 --> 00:11:22.458
  • So whatever he doeth shall prosper.
  • 00:11:22.458 --> 00:11:26.128
  • God does not waste words. god is the god of his word.
  • 00:11:26.128 --> 00:11:31.000
  • If god says, "whatsoever"-- god is glorified when his people
  • 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.172
  • Honor him and say, "i agree whatsoever."
  • 00:11:36.172 --> 00:11:39.475
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:11:39.475 --> 00:11:40.810
  • So this "whatsoever" here is a verse taken
  • 00:11:40.810 --> 00:11:43.279
  • From this verse in psalms 1, verse 3:
  • 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:47.516
  • "and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water."
  • 00:11:47.516 --> 00:11:51.687
  • Now, allow this word to paint an image of faith in your heart.
  • 00:11:51.687 --> 00:11:55.424
  • In a world that has so many images of dearth
  • 00:11:55.424 --> 00:11:58.027
  • And poverty and terrorism and darkness out there
  • 00:11:58.027 --> 00:12:03.165
  • That the media is showing you and all that,
  • 00:12:03.165 --> 00:12:05.701
  • Let god's word paint a faith picture
  • 00:12:05.701 --> 00:12:09.471
  • That this is you, child of god.
  • 00:12:09.471 --> 00:12:12.241
  • "you shall be like a tree planted
  • 00:12:12.241 --> 00:12:13.576
  • By the rivers of water"-- "rivers" is plural.
  • 00:12:13.576 --> 00:12:15.945
  • One river runs weak, or becomes weaker in its flow;
  • 00:12:15.945 --> 00:12:22.218
  • Another river is flowing.
  • 00:12:22.218 --> 00:12:23.786
  • There are rivers of water sustaining you all the time--
  • 00:12:23.786 --> 00:12:27.223
  • "that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
  • 00:12:27.223 --> 00:12:31.060
  • His leaf also shall not wither."
  • 00:12:31.060 --> 00:12:33.896
  • And there's another bible verse that says,
  • 00:12:33.896 --> 00:12:35.664
  • "the leaves of the tree are for medicine."
  • 00:12:35.664 --> 00:12:37.900
  • Now, this is supernatural medicine
  • 00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:39.235
  • In the book of revelation.
  • 00:12:39.235 --> 00:12:40.636
  • So we put that two and two together--
  • 00:12:40.636 --> 00:12:42.037
  • Bible interpret bible--
  • 00:12:42.037 --> 00:12:43.372
  • We say that the leaves is your health.
  • 00:12:43.372 --> 00:12:45.774
  • In other words, you'll be perennially green.
  • 00:12:45.774 --> 00:12:48.510
  • You're always green.
  • 00:12:48.510 --> 00:12:51.013
  • ♪ we are the young ones ♪
  • 00:12:51.013 --> 00:12:53.482
  • ♪ still we are the young ones ♪♪
  • 00:12:53.482 --> 00:12:55.751
  • And all the people said--
  • 00:12:55.751 --> 00:12:57.086
  • Congregation: amen.
  • 00:12:57.086 --> 00:12:58.420
  • Joseph prince: all the people-- those who don't say, "amen,"
  • 00:12:58.420 --> 00:13:00.356
  • Let them grow old, lord, hallelujah.
  • 00:13:00.356 --> 00:13:02.958
  • It's okay. amen.
  • 00:13:02.958 --> 00:13:04.627
  • We say, "god satisfies our mouth to believe that our youth
  • 00:13:04.627 --> 00:13:08.664
  • Is renewed like the eagle's."
  • 00:13:08.664 --> 00:13:10.366
  • So "his leaf also shall be-- shall not wither,"
  • 00:13:10.366 --> 00:13:13.335
  • Doesn't really matter what happens around him,
  • 00:13:13.335 --> 00:13:15.204
  • Doesn't really matter what happens around him.
  • 00:13:15.271 --> 00:13:17.206
  • I think you need to know this, people: that even if the world
  • 00:13:17.206 --> 00:13:20.042
  • Is facing drought where you are,
  • 00:13:20.042 --> 00:13:22.011
  • If there are rivers of water flowing around you,
  • 00:13:22.011 --> 00:13:24.647
  • You will prosper.
  • 00:13:24.647 --> 00:13:25.981
  • Your leaves will always be green.
  • 00:13:25.981 --> 00:13:27.349
  • And we have seen that.
  • 00:13:27.349 --> 00:13:28.684
  • Not too long ago, i was in israel.
  • 00:13:28.684 --> 00:13:30.753
  • And in 2010 i saw this happen in tel dan,
  • 00:13:30.753 --> 00:13:35.291
  • When actually a lot of places were very hot
  • 00:13:35.291 --> 00:13:37.660
  • And, you know, were dry.
  • 00:13:37.660 --> 00:13:39.962
  • But in tel dan there were rivers of water flowing,
  • 00:13:39.962 --> 00:13:43.299
  • So much so that i saw this picture of myself
  • 00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:45.801
  • As that blessed man planted by the rivers of water.
  • 00:13:45.801 --> 00:13:48.871
  • I asked one of our cameramen to take--actually,
  • 00:13:48.871 --> 00:13:51.173
  • I meant this to be my own personal picture,
  • 00:13:51.173 --> 00:13:52.641
  • All right?
  • 00:13:52.641 --> 00:13:53.976
  • And this is the picture.
  • 00:13:53.976 --> 00:13:55.311
  • I think many of you have seen it, all right?
  • 00:13:55.311 --> 00:13:56.645
  • This is in israel, at tel dan, right in the north.
  • 00:13:56.645 --> 00:13:59.615
  • And you see rivers of water just flowing, and it's so green.
  • 00:13:59.615 --> 00:14:02.384
  • Everywhere around this place is green, amen.
  • 00:14:02.384 --> 00:14:05.587
  • "he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water
  • 00:14:05.587 --> 00:14:08.424
  • That brings forth his fruit in his season.
  • 00:14:08.424 --> 00:14:09.858
  • His leaves shall not wither.
  • 00:14:09.858 --> 00:14:11.226
  • Whatever he does, prospers," amen?
  • 00:14:11.226 --> 00:14:12.962
  • So here it says, "he brings forth his fruit in his season."
  • 00:14:12.962 --> 00:14:16.131
  • You know, when i look at this verse,
  • 00:14:16.131 --> 00:14:17.466
  • One of the most beautiful pictures
  • 00:14:17.466 --> 00:14:18.801
  • That come to me is our lord jesus christ.
  • 00:14:18.801 --> 00:14:21.270
  • There is a season for everything that he does.
  • 00:14:21.270 --> 00:14:23.172
  • There's no one more morally beauti--
  • 00:14:23.172 --> 00:14:24.940
  • You know, jesus veiled his majesty.
  • 00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:27.910
  • He veiled his official glory.
  • 00:14:27.910 --> 00:14:29.878
  • He even veiled his deity
  • 00:14:29.878 --> 00:14:32.848
  • Because great is the mystery of godliness.
  • 00:14:32.848 --> 00:14:34.350
  • God was manifest in the flesh. and yet he veiled it.
  • 00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:38.020
  • He lived like a dependent man. he prayed as a dependent man.
  • 00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:44.426
  • He relied on god's word; yet there's a beauty in hi--
  • 00:14:44.426 --> 00:14:46.662
  • One thing he cannot veil-- he cannot veil this one:
  • 00:14:46.662 --> 00:14:50.532
  • His moral glory, his moral beauty,
  • 00:14:50.532 --> 00:14:54.937
  • His moral excellence.
  • 00:14:54.937 --> 00:14:56.572
  • You see his beauty like this.
  • 00:14:56.572 --> 00:14:58.173
  • And some people, their faith-- especially a gentile woman,
  • 00:14:58.173 --> 00:15:03.278
  • A canaanite woman, a centurion, all gentiles--once in a while,
  • 00:15:03.278 --> 00:15:08.350
  • People like this will penetrate the veil and see him
  • 00:15:08.350 --> 00:15:11.353
  • Who he really is.
  • 00:15:11.353 --> 00:15:12.688
  • I know who you are, amen? and jesus is just amazed.
  • 00:15:12.688 --> 00:15:17.126
  • But he lived, in a sense, that he veiled his official glory,
  • 00:15:17.126 --> 00:15:21.263
  • His deity.
  • 00:15:21.263 --> 00:15:22.598
  • He's always deity, but he veiled it.
  • 00:15:22.598 --> 00:15:24.833
  • But what he cannot veil is his goodness, his grace,
  • 00:15:24.833 --> 00:15:29.071
  • His moral excellence, and his moral beauty.
  • 00:15:29.071 --> 00:15:32.141
  • Let me just tell you this.
  • 00:15:32.141 --> 00:15:33.876
  • Someone will say, "well, pastor prince,
  • 00:15:33.876 --> 00:15:36.578
  • Joshua 1:8 is the only one that i know."
  • 00:15:36.578 --> 00:15:38.280
  • Let's go to joshua 1:8 right now.
  • 00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:39.848
  • It tells you: "this book of the law
  • 00:15:39.848 --> 00:15:41.183
  • Shall not depart from your mouth,
  • 00:15:41.183 --> 00:15:42.518
  • But you shall meditate in it day and night."
  • 00:15:42.518 --> 00:15:43.852
  • Did i show you the key just now, in psalm 1?
  • 00:15:43.852 --> 00:15:46.422
  • All right, go to the verse before that.
  • 00:15:46.422 --> 00:15:48.390
  • The key is "his delight is in the law of the lord;
  • 00:15:48.390 --> 00:15:51.760
  • And in his law does he meditate"!
  • 00:15:51.760 --> 00:15:54.730
  • The one thing that you do that will cause you to prosper--
  • 00:15:54.730 --> 00:15:58.000
  • "whatsoever he doeth shall prosper"--meditate.
  • 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.939
  • When you read your bible, it's not possible
  • 00:16:03.939 --> 00:16:05.741
  • To be reading your bible or read a daily devo--
  • 00:16:05.741 --> 00:16:08.410
  • All right?-- and then, all day long,
  • 00:16:08.410 --> 00:16:10.746
  • You put your face in the bible,
  • 00:16:10.746 --> 00:16:12.881
  • Not in the telephone poles and all that--all right?--
  • 00:16:12.881 --> 00:16:14.950
  • Not into other people.
  • 00:16:14.950 --> 00:16:16.285
  • It's not possible, but what you do is that you take
  • 00:16:16.285 --> 00:16:18.654
  • A bite size of your daily devo.
  • 00:16:18.654 --> 00:16:20.989
  • And there's a verse there. memorize it.
  • 00:16:20.989 --> 00:16:23.092
  • And all day long, under your breath,
  • 00:16:23.092 --> 00:16:25.427
  • Mutter it because the word "meditate" here
  • 00:16:25.427 --> 00:16:27.629
  • Is the word "mutter," mutter, mutter, all right?
  • 00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:31.366
  • Mutter means you speak to yourself,
  • 00:16:31.366 --> 00:16:33.102
  • Like "two times two is four.
  • 00:16:33.102 --> 00:16:34.536
  • Three times two is six. four times two is eight.
  • 00:16:34.536 --> 00:16:36.939
  • Five times--" you know, you mutter to yourself,
  • 00:16:36.939 --> 00:16:39.208
  • Like talking to yourself, amen?
  • 00:16:39.208 --> 00:16:42.177
  • So "meditate day and night," "hagah."
  • 00:16:42.177 --> 00:16:46.281
  • You say, "pastor prince, i don't know how to meditate."
  • 00:16:46.281 --> 00:16:47.850
  • Do you know how to worry? same principle.
  • 00:16:47.850 --> 00:16:51.620
  • Worry is, like, you lie down there in your bed,
  • 00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:54.256
  • You start to revolve your mind around
  • 00:16:54.256 --> 00:16:56.091
  • "oh, boy...the boss wants it by this coming wednesday.
  • 00:16:56.091 --> 00:17:00.963
  • Today is sunday, oh, man," or you think about your child.
  • 00:17:00.963 --> 00:17:04.800
  • "oh, his first day in primary 1, people bully him," you know?
  • 00:17:04.800 --> 00:17:09.805
  • "he's not good with money. how can he handle himself?
  • 00:17:09.805 --> 00:17:12.474
  • Oh no, i see him under the car, oh no," right?
  • 00:17:12.474 --> 00:17:15.077
  • You're revolving around your mind on the dark side,
  • 00:17:15.077 --> 00:17:17.679
  • All right?
  • 00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:19.014
  • Put your mind on the right side. you meditate.
  • 00:17:19.014 --> 00:17:20.349
  • You mutter on, like, for example,
  • 00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:21.683
  • "no evil will befall my son.
  • 00:17:21.683 --> 00:17:23.952
  • The seed of the righteous is delivered,
  • 00:17:23.952 --> 00:17:25.721
  • The seed of the righteous--"
  • 00:17:25.721 --> 00:17:27.055
  • So you start revolving your mind.
  • 00:17:27.055 --> 00:17:28.490
  • So, for example, let's say you have a problem
  • 00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:30.058
  • In the area of protection.
  • 00:17:30.058 --> 00:17:32.594
  • For example, you are afraid 'cause you see the media.
  • 00:17:32.594 --> 00:17:34.563
  • It's full of it. nowadays, it's full of it.
  • 00:17:34.563 --> 00:17:36.532
  • You open any media, social media,
  • 00:17:36.532 --> 00:17:38.600
  • Whatever you see, the front page of your laptop
  • 00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:41.103
  • That opens up--usually, it's some image of terrorism
  • 00:17:41.103 --> 00:17:44.606
  • Or something bad happening in the world and all that.
  • 00:17:44.606 --> 00:17:46.542
  • So your fear starts building up, right?
  • 00:17:46.542 --> 00:17:50.913
  • What do you do? you cannot fight away your fear.
  • 00:17:50.913 --> 00:17:54.349
  • You cannot, you know, will your fears away.
  • 00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:58.187
  • And the only way is to listen, right?
  • 00:17:58.187 --> 00:17:59.655
  • I told you.
  • 00:17:59.655 --> 00:18:00.989
  • And when you meditate, you are listening.
  • 00:18:00.989 --> 00:18:02.324
  • You're muttering to yourself.
  • 00:18:02.324 --> 00:18:03.659
  • So i encourage you: before you board a plane,
  • 00:18:03.659 --> 00:18:07.129
  • As you're on your way to the airport,
  • 00:18:07.129 --> 00:18:08.597
  • As your plane is flying,
  • 00:18:08.597 --> 00:18:10.165
  • The devil will try to put images, all right?
  • 00:18:10.165 --> 00:18:12.467
  • Nowadays, you don't know.
  • 00:18:12.467 --> 00:18:13.869
  • The devil may trap you, all right?
  • 00:18:13.869 --> 00:18:15.971
  • There's a trap.
  • 00:18:15.971 --> 00:18:17.306
  • A lot of people don't know. they can't see the trap.
  • 00:18:17.306 --> 00:18:18.774
  • The trap may come in a can, in a shoe.
  • 00:18:18.774 --> 00:18:21.977
  • Before you know it, the whole plane blows up.
  • 00:18:21.977 --> 00:18:23.545
  • And you start seeing your image of yourself falling down, okay?
  • 00:18:23.545 --> 00:18:26.682
  • You're burning. and that's worry.
  • 00:18:26.682 --> 00:18:29.818
  • You are meditating.
  • 00:18:29.818 --> 00:18:31.153
  • So don't tell me you do not know how to meditate.
  • 00:18:31.153 --> 00:18:33.689
  • So, instead of that, revolve your mind around scripture
  • 00:18:33.689 --> 00:18:37.159
  • That you have memorized-- for example, psalm 91,
  • 00:18:37.159 --> 00:18:39.661
  • The psalm of protection.
  • 00:18:39.661 --> 00:18:40.996
  • Use verses like this: verse 3,
  • 00:18:40.996 --> 00:18:42.931
  • "surely he shall deliver you from the snare," or the trap,
  • 00:18:42.931 --> 00:18:47.302
  • "of the fowler."
  • 00:18:47.302 --> 00:18:48.637
  • Now, the fowler is a man who catches birds,
  • 00:18:48.637 --> 00:18:50.739
  • But he puts a trap.
  • 00:18:50.739 --> 00:18:52.074
  • He doesn't put a trap in front of the bird.
  • 00:18:52.074 --> 00:18:53.475
  • No bird, even the birdbrained-- all right?--
  • 00:18:53.475 --> 00:18:57.312
  • See a trap will walk into it.
  • 00:18:57.312 --> 00:18:58.747
  • So we understand that people are fearful
  • 00:18:58.747 --> 00:19:00.716
  • That there are terrorist elements
  • 00:19:00.716 --> 00:19:02.851
  • That may have traps for us.
  • 00:19:02.851 --> 00:19:04.653
  • But for god's people, god is saying, "surely," not maybe,
  • 00:19:04.653 --> 00:19:08.123
  • "he shall deliver you from the trap," the snare,
  • 00:19:08.123 --> 00:19:11.460
  • "of the fowler."
  • 00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:13.595
  • So if you meditate on this: "surely he shall deliver you
  • 00:19:13.595 --> 00:19:15.430
  • From the snare of the fowler and from the perilous,"
  • 00:19:15.430 --> 00:19:18.200
  • Dangerous, "pestilence."
  • 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.135
  • Or nowadays, you know, my friend,
  • 00:19:20.135 --> 00:19:21.503
  • My close friend from--even from childhood,
  • 00:19:21.503 --> 00:19:24.106
  • All of a sudden was diagnosed with this disease and all that.
  • 00:19:24.106 --> 00:19:26.141
  • You can't tell, man, when one person may get it or not.
  • 00:19:26.141 --> 00:19:29.044
  • You know, it's like lottery.
  • 00:19:29.044 --> 00:19:30.379
  • Someone told me it's like lottery.
  • 00:19:30.379 --> 00:19:32.881
  • Let me tell you this: you don't have to depend on lottery.
  • 00:19:32.881 --> 00:19:35.217
  • You can depend on god's sure, infallible word.
  • 00:19:35.217 --> 00:19:38.620
  • And god says, "surely he shall deliver you
  • 00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:40.355
  • From the perilous pestilence," dangerous disease.
  • 00:19:40.355 --> 00:19:46.028
  • Meditate on that. meditate on that.
  • 00:19:46.028 --> 00:19:47.529
  • When the fear comes, quote out loud.
  • 00:19:47.529 --> 00:19:49.931
  • Jesus, when he was tempted three times in the wilderness,
  • 00:19:49.931 --> 00:19:53.235
  • When he was tempted by satan, three times he answered,
  • 00:19:53.235 --> 00:19:56.838
  • "it is written, it is written, it is written."
  • 00:19:56.838 --> 00:20:03.712
  • And i'll tell you this, people:
  • 00:20:03.712 --> 00:20:06.581
  • That many a times, we think-- we charismatics, you know,
  • 00:20:06.581 --> 00:20:10.519
  • Those who are spirit-filled,
  • 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.853
  • They always say that "god speaks to me.
  • 00:20:11.853 --> 00:20:13.188
  • God has a rhema word for me."
  • 00:20:13.188 --> 00:20:14.523
  • All that is true and all that is fine,
  • 00:20:14.523 --> 00:20:16.224
  • But even jesus did not fight with a rhema word from god.
  • 00:20:16.224 --> 00:20:19.861
  • He had a rhema word when he came out from the waters of baptism:
  • 00:20:19.861 --> 00:20:22.531
  • "you are my beloved son."
  • 00:20:22.531 --> 00:20:23.865
  • That's a rhema word.
  • 00:20:23.865 --> 00:20:25.200
  • But he didn't even fight with that.
  • 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.535
  • He fought with the written word. he is god's son!
  • 00:20:26.535 --> 00:20:30.038
  • He didn't say, "hey! s-a-tan, do you know who i am?
  • 00:20:30.038 --> 00:20:35.344
  • You know who i am or not? you know or not?
  • 00:20:35.344 --> 00:20:40.749
  • I'm jesus. i made you."
  • 00:20:40.749 --> 00:20:45.187
  • Did he come out like that, talking like that?
  • 00:20:45.187 --> 00:20:47.289
  • No, but he is jesus, god in the flesh!
  • 00:20:47.289 --> 00:20:51.593
  • He showed us how to overcome satan's attacks and temptations:
  • 00:20:51.593 --> 00:20:55.397
  • "it is written."
  • 00:20:55.397 --> 00:20:56.832
  • Bible. bible.
  • 00:20:56.832 --> 00:20:58.467
  • Charismatics, don't go by saying,
  • 00:20:58.467 --> 00:21:00.569
  • "god spoke to me that he would do this for me,
  • 00:21:00.569 --> 00:21:02.337
  • Do that for me."
  • 00:21:02.337 --> 00:21:03.672
  • Scripture.
  • 00:21:03.672 --> 00:21:05.006
  • You cannot fight with the devil with "god spoke to me."
  • 00:21:05.006 --> 00:21:07.976
  • Fight the devil with "it is written.
  • 00:21:07.976 --> 00:21:10.979
  • It is written."
  • 00:21:10.979 --> 00:21:12.314
  • And by the way, you don't have to always personalize,
  • 00:21:12.314 --> 00:21:15.350
  • Personalize.
  • 00:21:15.350 --> 00:21:16.685
  • I know in the word of faith, we are taught to personalize.
  • 00:21:16.685 --> 00:21:18.286
  • I personalize some of the things.
  • 00:21:18.286 --> 00:21:19.621
  • But, you know, many a time it says--like, for example,
  • 00:21:19.621 --> 00:21:22.791
  • It says, "he will cover you with his feathers."
  • 00:21:22.791 --> 00:21:24.159
  • Then we try to personalize:
  • 00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:25.494
  • "he will cover me with his feathers."
  • 00:21:25.494 --> 00:21:27.129
  • It's okay. it's fine.
  • 00:21:27.129 --> 00:21:28.864
  • But jesus quoted it like "thou shalt worship the lord thy god."
  • 00:21:28.864 --> 00:21:31.733
  • He didn't say, "thou shalt worship me."
  • 00:21:31.733 --> 00:21:33.602
  • If he personalized it, it would be "me," all right?
  • 00:21:33.602 --> 00:21:36.605
  • Just quote, "as it is written."
  • 00:21:36.605 --> 00:21:39.474
  • The spirit of god knows what it means.
  • 00:21:39.474 --> 00:21:41.510
  • The devil knows what it means.
  • 00:21:41.510 --> 00:21:43.078
  • "it is written, it is written, it is written,"
  • 00:21:43.078 --> 00:21:47.115
  • And the devil left.
  • 00:21:47.115 --> 00:21:49.251
  • Amen, are you listening, people?
  • 00:21:49.251 --> 00:21:51.553
  • All right, so, for example, verse 4,
  • 00:21:51.553 --> 00:21:54.656
  • "he shall cover you with his feathers."
  • 00:21:54.656 --> 00:21:57.726
  • So you just memorize, "he shall cover you
  • 00:21:57.726 --> 00:21:59.127
  • With his feathers,"
  • 00:21:59.127 --> 00:22:00.462
  • You feel so loved because only a mother eagle
  • 00:22:00.462 --> 00:22:02.330
  • Will cover the beloved one under her feathers.
  • 00:22:02.330 --> 00:22:05.434
  • Like i shared with you before, a story--
  • 00:22:05.434 --> 00:22:07.436
  • Maybe when you're meditating,
  • 00:22:07.436 --> 00:22:08.937
  • Some of my illustrations come back to you.
  • 00:22:08.937 --> 00:22:10.806
  • Pastor prince shared many years ago about, you know, in a farm.
  • 00:22:10.806 --> 00:22:13.675
