Excerpt No 1:

 

For example, the recent ‘Joseph Prince Study Bible’

 

is all about Joseph Prince earning more money

 

because to access to this ‘Joseph Prince Study Bible’,

 

there is a monthly subscription plan:

 

Basic: S$23.98 per month

 

Essential: S$34.98 per month

 

Unlimited: S$49.98 per month

 

You must remember

 

Joseph Prince has a worldwide market.

 

If just 10,000 people subscribe to the Basic plan,

 

he would have a cool $239,800 per month.

 

Just think of the humongous amounts of money

 

he is earning

 

from the preaching of his grace gospel.

 

The Apostle Paul whom he claimed as his mentor

 

will never, never, never do that.

 

Excerpt No 2:

 

In summary, it is a terrible shame and outrageous

 

that Joseph Prince would

 

keep on, and keep on, and keep on

 

bringing up the issue

 

about him not receiving a salary from the church

 

when he is earning the millions

 

– from preaching the True Gospel?

 

No!

 

From preaching the False and Heretical Gospel

 

that not only does not save,

 

but it would lead the multitudes to hell.

 

That is what is nauseating!

 

It is indeed an abomination

 

that Joseph Prince is earning the millions

 

by preaching the False Gospel

 

that would lead many

 

that he had earned the money from

 

to their eternal destruction.

 

Excerpt No 3:

 

Joseph Prince by saying that when you have sinned,

 

you come to God to confess your sins;

 

you are lying, acting hypocritically

 

and exhibiting false humility,

 

is accusing the Lord Jesus

 

for egging believers to lie, act hypocritically

 

and exhibit false humility,

because Jesus did command us

 

as He had commanded 5 of the 7 churches in Revelation

 

to repent of their sins

 

as not all future sins are forgiven.

 

One, such as Joseph Prince,

 

who dares to accuse the Lord Jesus

 

of such serious misdemeanors

 

to mar and destroy His reputation and character,

 

must be a wolf

 

who is sent from and empowered by the devil himself.

Part 1: Joseph Prince keeps boasting that he wasn’t drawing a salary from the church – but he hides from you the other half-truth about the background that led to it

 

Joseph Prince keeps boasting about the fact

 

that he didn’t draw a salary from the church,

 

in many of his sermons like a broken record.

 

You’ve got to believe me

 

as I listened to his sermons (full sermon) every Sunday.

 

And Joseph Prince boasted about the same issue again

 

in his most recent sermon on 27 Apr 2025, 5 days ago.

 

In the sermon on 27 Apr 2025, 5 days ago,

Joseph Prince said:

 

“I believe in this so much

 

that I didn’t want to take a salary.

 

After all, I stopped drawing a salary from the church

 

since 2009.”

 

Yes, Joseph Prince said he didn’t draw a salary since 2009.

 

But, as usual, he has only told you the half-truth.

 

The other half-truth Joseph Prince has hidden from you

 

is the background that forced or compelled him

 

not to take a salary.

 

Let me quote from Wikipedia (emphasis with colour highlighting is mine):

 

“On 5 October 2008,

 

in an interview with the Sunday Times,

 

Prince, also the executive chairman of the church council,

 

acknowledged that he was “well-paid”

 

with his salary going up $50,000 a month.[4]

 

On 30 March 2009, The Straits Times 

 

reported that the church had paid one employee

 

between $500,001 and $550,000 in its last financial year.

 

… While not confirming the identity of the employee,

 

the church responded that its policy

 

is to “recognize and reward key contributors

 

to the church

 

and Senior Pastor Prince

 

is the main pillar

 

of our church’s growth and revenue.”[8][9] 

 

This fact that Joseph Prince

 

was so highly paid by New Creation Church,

 

received a lot of bad publicity in 2008-2009,

 

not only in the Singapore Church scene,

 

but also the Singapore general public

 

as it was reported in the Straits Times.

 

Pressure was mounting

 

and meeting/s were convened in New Creation Church

 

for the leadership to explain

 

and justify Joseph Prince’s high pay.

 

It was under such a background;

 

and in order not to incur any more backlash from the public

 

and bad press,

 

Joseph Prince was forced or compelled

 

not to receive a salary from the church.

 

What I cannot stomach

 

is that he often paints his no-salary as a huge sacrifice

 

when the financial proceeds, which amounts to millions,

 

from the sales of his books, sermons on CDs,

 

not just in Singapore but around the world

 

is enough to last him many lifetimes.   

 

Furthermore, why does Joseph Prince wants to bring up

 

his no-salary issue,

 

even today in his 27 Apr 2025 sermon, 5 days ago,

 

even though he is earning the millions.

 

For example, the recent ‘Joseph Prince Study Bible’

 

is all about Joseph Prince earning more money

 

because to access to this ‘Joseph Prince Study Bible’,

 

there is a monthly subscription plan:

 

Basic: S$23.98 per month

 

Essential: S$34.98 per month

 

Unlimited: S$49.98 per month

 

You must remember Joseph Prince has a worldwide market.

 

If just 10,000 people subscribe to the Basic plan,

 

he would have a cool $239,800 per month.

 

Just think of the humongous amounts of money he is earning

 

from the preaching of his grace gospel.

 

The Apostle Paul whom he claimed as his mentor

 

will never, never, never do that.

 

What is most shameful is that Joseph Prince keeps on saying

 

that Paul was the one he had learned

 

all his grace theology from.

 

Also, New Creation Church members were told

 

that they can write cheques to Joseph Prince

 

and put it in the offering bag,

 

which many would have done so.

 

Luke Pong, an Ex New Creation Church member for 20 years

 

shared in his Testimony (click to read):

 

“We were told we can write cheques to Joseph Prince

 

and put it in the offering bag

 

which I did,

 

and we can claim to be the next in line to be blessed.

 

This is because of Joseph Prince’s teaching

 

such as Psalm 133:2,

 

which is a grossly distorted teaching

 

that Joseph Prince as head of New Creation Church

 

must be greatly blessed first

 

before these blessings trickle down

 

to layman and church members.

 

Joseph Prince was greatly blessed indeed.

 

He lives the higher and higher life,

 

and having more and more fanciful holidays,

 

while most of us live in HDB flats, waiting for our breaks.”

 

In summary, it is a terrible shame and outrageous

 

that Joseph Prince would keep on, and keep on, and keep on

 

bringing up the issue

 

about him not receiving a salary from the church

 

when he is earning the millions

 

– from preaching the True Gospel?

 

No!

 

From preaching the False and Heretical Gospel

 

that not only does not save,

 

but it would lead the multitudes to hell.

 

That is what is nauseating!

 

It is indeed an abomination

 

that Joseph Prince is earning the millions

 

by preaching the False Gospel

 

that would lead many that he had earned the money from

 

to their eternal destruction.

 

 

Part 2: Joseph Prince is gravely insulting all poor believers when he strongly implied that there is something wrong about being poor, and he falsely accused the Lord Jesus for preaching the Prosperity Gospel – that the poor can become materially rich

 

In the sermon on 27 Apr 2025, 5 days ago,

 

Joseph Prince said:

 

“How else do you explain things like

 

when Jesus said

 

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me (Lk 4:18a),”

 

for what,

 

to make the rich poor?

 

No.

 

He (Jesus) says to proclaim the good news to the poor (Lk 4:18a).

 

What is good news to the poor?

 

That you remain poor.

 

I don’t think they will say that is good news.

 

It’s to enrich them.”

 

Since Joseph Prince openly said

 

that Jesus came to preach the Gospel to the poor

 

to enrich them,

 

he has to have at least one concrete evidence

 

that Jesus indeed made the poor materially rich.

 

Hey Joe,

 

“I expect an answer from you in your next sermon.”

 

But as usual, Joseph Prince would stay as silent

 

as a church mouse.

 

This is because there isn’t a single evidence

 

that Jesus had indeed made a poor person materially rich

 

during His 3 years of ministry

 

in the entire 4 Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

 

In fact, Jesus has come to make people poorer, materially:

 

Mark 10:31 NIV

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

 

Luke 12:33 NIV

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

 

Jesus, in Mark 10:31 and Luke 12:33,

 

teaches that we are to give up

 

our material riches:

 

Mark 10:31a NIV

“Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor,

 

Luke 10:33a NIV

Sell your possessions and give to the poor,

 

for spiritual riches:

 

Mark 10:31b NIV

and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

 

Luke 12:33b NIV

Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

 

But Joseph Prince falsely teaches

 

that Jesus came to make the poor materially rich.

 

Also, Joseph Prince by saying,

 

“How else do you explain things like

 

when Jesus said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me (Lk 4:18a),

 

for what,

 

to make the rich poor?

 

No.

 

He (Jesus) says to proclaim the good news to the poor (Lk 4:18a).

 

What is good news to the poor?

 

That you remain poor,”

 

he is clearly implying

 

that there is something wrong if believers are poor.

 

This is a great insult to all the poor believers in the world.

 

Isn’t Joseph Prince aware

 

that there are multitudes of poor believers,

 

especially in the third world?

 

And even in the first world, there are poor believers too.

 

So, Joseph Prince owes all these poor believers

 

around the world, especially in the third world

 

an apology for insulting them

 

as he has strongly implied

 

that there is something wrong about being poor.

 

If Joseph Prince really believes

 

that the Gospel will make the poor rich,

 

Joseph Prince needs to quit talking and start acting

 

by going to the third world nations

 

to prove that his Prosperity Gospel Doctrine really works. 

 

If Joseph Prince really believes in his Prosperity Gospel Doctrine,

 

why isn’t he focussing his preaching ministry

 

on the Third World nations

 

such as Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Laos, Cambodia, etc.

 

These are the countries that need his secret

 

on how to be prosperous and be healthy and wealthy,

 

and not places like Singapore, America, Australia,

 

Europe and England

 

that he is constantly focussing his preaching efforts on.

 

The poor Third World nations need Joseph Prince

 

and his ministry of prosperity, wealth and health

 

much more than the USA and Australia do

 

– so please go there, personally.

 

Go and preach in Laos, Myanmar, Ethiopia, etc,

 

and start to deliver the people there from poverty,

 

and make them wealthy.

 

Could Joseph Prince tell us when was the last time

 

he went to a third world nation to preach 

 

so they don’t have to remain poor

 

but they would become rich

 

and so that they could be healed of their diseases?

 

I am not asking his pastors but Joseph Prince,

 

since he himself is making the claim

 

that the gospel would make the poor rich. 

 

Do you wish to know the reason

 

Joseph Prince is focussing his preaching efforts

 

on the First World

 

instead of the Third World?

 

The open secret is that Joseph Prince’s

 

Prosperity Gospel and the Health and Wealth Theology

 

can only ‘work’ in the First World.

 

No wonder Joseph Prince is so afraid

 

of putting his Health and Wealth Doctrine to the test

 

in the Third World nations.

 

No wonder Joseph Prince never (or hardly) goes personally

 

to preach the Prosperity Gospel Doctrine

 

in the Third World nations.

 

This is because Prince is sorely afraid

 

that his deceptive Prosperity Gospel Doctrine

 

would be uncovered.

 

Jesus came to preach the Gospel to the poor, 

 

but why is Joseph Prince focusing his preaching efforts

 

on the rich?

 

If Joseph Prince claims to be Christ-centred, 

 

then why is he not following the example of Jesus

 

to preach the Gospel to the poor?

 

Do you wish to know why?

 

This is because Joseph Prince is driven by money.

 

The first world churches could give him big offerings,

 

but the poor churches couldn’t,

 

and you have to financially support them instead.

 

In a teaching session, Zac Poonen said:

 

“And these preachers who preached prosperity;

 

Jesus said it’s the sick people who need a physician,

 

not those who are healthy.

 

Why do you preach prosperity to people

 

who are already prosperous?

 

Why not go to the poorest nations of the earth,

 

Bangladesh, villagers of Tamil Nadu, Sudan.

 

You think these preachers

 

will go there and preach prosperity?

 

No.

 

Because it’s a hoax.

 

They preach prosperity among rich people

 

because it’s the rich people

 

who will give them their tithes,

 

and they can become rich.

 

Don’t be deceived

 

by all these people you see on television

 

who preach prosperity.

 

It’s the sick who need a physician.

 

It’s the poor who need to hear about prosperity.

 

Why don’t they go to the poorest countries?

 

Doesn’t that occur to you, you are all clever people?

 

Doesn’t it occur to you that sick people need the doctor?

 

It’s the poor people who need the prosperity message.

 

Why go and preach health to healthy people.

 

Why go and preach prosperity to people

 

who already got more than enough money.

 

It is one of the greatest deceptions

 

of today’s Christendom.

 

You are not going to hear it from me, I’d tell you that

 

because that’s not the truth

 

because my example is Jesus.

 

There was nobody more blessed than Him,

 

and He was not prosperous.

 

Even when he wanted to see a coin with Caesar’s head

 

and He didn’t have one in His own pocket.

 

He said,

 

“Can somebody please lend me a coin.

 

Whose head is this?”

 

That’s how He lived on earth.

 

Is He a prosperity preacher?

 

Did He go round telling people,

 

“Follow me

 

and you will have wealth in abundance.”

 

Zac Poonen rightly said that the Prosperity Gospel

 

(preached by Joseph Prince)

 

is a hoax,

 

and it is one of the greatest deceptions of today’s Christendom.

 

Zac Poonen also clearly stated

 

that Jesus was never a Prosperity Gospel preacher

 

(that Joseph Prince has falsely made Him to be).

 

Next, if Joseph Prince said

 

that Jesus came to preach the Gospel to the poor

 

to enrich them,

 

why is the New Covenant Church of Smyrna

 

suffering from poverty.

 

Jesus declared that the Church of Smyrna was materially poor

 

but spiritually rich:

 

“I know your afflictions and your poverty 

 

– yet you are rich!” (Rev 2:9 NIV).

 

Joseph Prince would say to the Church of Smyrna:

 

“To the people in the Church of Smyrna, don’t you know that being materially poor is a bad testimony to the world?

 

The world would think that you are believing in a poor God, who doesn’t even have the power to get you out of poverty.

 

You must believe that God’s purpose is to prosper you. 

You have forgotten that you are the children of the King of kings and Lord of lords, and no wonder you are living in poverty like poor paupers.

 

It’s just too bad that Jesus must have forgotten to teach you the ‘prosperity principles’ of success.

If only Jesus had taught you how to pray in faith, you could have experienced victory, blessing and prosperity, and avoided all that suffering, persecution, imprisonment and even martyrdom!

 

What a shame that Jesus has missed teaching you such glorious principles of success, conquest and prosperity.

 

Come on, you ought not to suffer from poverty. 

Christ became poor so as to make you materially rich. 

You have obviously forgotten about what Christ came to do in His finished work of the cross. 

How can the children of the King be wallowing in poverty? This is really a shame.

 

So, start to declare with your mouth in faith that you are very rich as Abraham was. 

I’ve learned about praying in faith from my mentor, Kenneth Hagin, and it’s bound to work.”

 

Did Jesus say all that rubbish to the Church of Smyrna?

 

No.

 

Jesus did not rebuke them for their lack of faith,

 

as Joseph Prince may do to Christians who aren’t prosperous.

 

The Church of Smyrna was facing financial hardship,

 

perhaps because of the persecution they had been enduring.

 

Although they were suffering poverty,

 

Jesus encouraged them that they were spiritually rich,

 

being destined to inherit the victor’s crown (Rev 2:10).

 

Joseph Prince needs to tell us

 

that if every New Covenant church is supposed to be rich,

 

why is the Church of Smyrna (Rev 2:8-11) in a state of poverty?

 

And did Jesus reprimand the Church of Smyrna for being poor?

 

Did Jesus rebuke them for not praying with enough faith;

 

to pray themselves out of the curse of poverty?

 

Joseph Prince may have done that, 

 

but never once did Jesus reprimand them for their poverty.

 

Conversely, Jesus affirmed the Church of Smyrna:

 

“I know your afflictions and your poverty 

 

– yet you are rich!” (Rev 2:9a NIV).

 

Jesus was well aware that they were living in a state of poverty,

 

yet, Jesus never told them they had to get out of their poverty

 

because they were cursed.

 

Jesus was not as concerned

 

whether they were materially rich or poor,

 

but He was utterly concerned

 

whether they were spiritually rich.

 

Listen, people

 

– for those who are still blindly supporting Joseph Prince

 

or trying to protect him,

 

tell me,

 

– why is the teaching on wealth and poverty

 

so different between Joseph Prince and that of the Lord Jesus?

 

Joseph Prince teaches that

 

no Christian or church should ever be in a state of poverty,

 

and he may even reprimand those who are poor

 

for having no faith to pray themselves out of their poverty.

 

But Jesus didn’t even rebuke the Church of Smyrna

 

for finding themselves in a state of poverty,

 

but He praises them for being spiritually rich.

 

Why?

 

– Because the Prosperity Gospel Doctrine of Joseph Prince

 

was never in the mind of Jesus.

 

Can you now see that Joseph Prince

 

is not preaching the real Jesus;

 

he is preaching his version of Jesus

 

– the counterfeit Jesus!

 

 

Part 3: Where is Paul in Joseph Prince’s Prosperity Gospel doctrine, and why is he using Old Covenant Foundations to support his New Covenant Prosperity Doctrine?

 

In the sermon on 27 Apr 2025, 5 days ago,

 

Joseph Prince said:

 

“How many times in the Bible, the Bible tells us that

 

Joseph prospered because of his wisdom.

 

He prospered, Egypt, during a time of famine.

 

Abraham, during a time of famine, prospered.

 

Isaac sowed in the land of famine.

 

You don’t sow in the land of famine.

 

And he reaped not 30-fold, not 50-fold,

 

the Bible says a 100-fold,

 

so much so that the Philistines were envious,

 

that’s called jealous of him.

 

You listening? Amen.

 

We don’t preach it.

 

And now you know, it’s like we have stopped preaching it

 

because maybe of intimidation of people

 

trying to put you into certain group.

 

People like to label people.”

 

Joseph Prince needs to explain to us

 

why did he pick Abraham, Isaac and Joseph

 

instead of Paul as the model, or example,

 

to showcase his Prosperity Gospel Doctrine.

 

Isn’t Paul, who is a New Covenant saint, a more fitting choice

 

than Abraham or Isaac who are Old Covenant believers

 

– as, after all, we are in the New Covenant?

 

Isn’t Paul Joseph Prince’s hero

 

– as he has constantly been telling the world

 

that Paul is his mentor

 

that he has learned much of his grace theology from?

 

Isn’t it logical

 

that the poster-boy of his Prosperity Gospel Doctrine

 

ought to be Paul, and not Abraham, Isaac or Joseph?

 

People of God

 

– you ought to realise by now,

 

why Joseph Prince couldn’t pick Paul

 

– as Paul’s life of persecution and suffering, and poverty

 

during certain periods of his ministry,

 

are a total contradiction to his Prosperity Gospel doctrine. 

 

Here Paul describes himself and his associates

 

as being “poor” and “having nothing.”

 

2 Corinthians 6:10 NIV

 

10 “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; 

 

poor, yet making many rich; 

 

having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”

 

Although Paul was materially poor, 

 

he was “making many rich.”

 

Obviously, Paul, being materially poor,

 

was not making others materially rich, but spiritually rich.

 

If Joseph Prince said that every New Covenant believer

 

is to be very rich as Abraham was,

 

why did Paul describe himself

 

as being poor and having nothing?

 

If Joseph Prince said that every New Covenant believer

 

is to be very rich as Abraham was,

 

why was Paul, a New Covenant believer himself,

 

not the recipient of it, when he said: 

 

“To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty,

 

we are in rags, we are brutally treated, 

 

we are homeless” (1 Cor 4:11)?

 

Next, why is Joseph Prince using Old Covenant Foundations

 

to support his New Covenant Prosperity Gospel Doctrine,

 

which is expressly forbidden by his own teaching.

 

In ‘Destined To Reign’, Joseph Prince wrote:

 

“The new covenant only begins after the cross, 

 

when the Holy Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost.”

 

If the New Covenant only begins after the cross

 

as Joseph Prince has clearly and categorically written,

 

he has, absolutely, no right

 

to apply the wealth of Abraham and Isaac, etc,

 

which is under the Old Covenant, and before the cross,

 

to New Covenant believers.

 

In ‘Grace Revolution’, Joseph Prince wrote:

 

“You can’t simply take something

 

that was recorded and spoken

 

during the dispensation of the law of the old covenant, 

 

and apply it to new covenant believers today.

Likewise, you cannot take what was recorded and spoken

 

before the cross of Jesus 

 

and apply it to new covenant believers today.”

 

If that is the case, why is Joseph Prince

 

using the wealth of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph

 

which is under the Old Covenant, and before the cross,

 

and apply it to New Covenant believers?

 

Doesn’t Joseph Prince know

 

that the era of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph happened

 

“during the dispensation of the law of the old covenant”,

 

and “before the cross of Jesus” (using Prince’s own words)?

 

If that is so, according to his own grace doctrine,

 

Joseph Prince is not permitted, whatsoever,

 

to use the wealth of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph,

 

which happened under the Old Covenant and before the cross,

 

“and apply it to new covenant believers today” (using Prince’s own words)?

 

Can you see how blatantly self-contradictory Joseph Prince is?

 

When there are truths under the Old Covenant,

 

such as God,

 

who showed His anger at His Old Covenant people,

 

and that which speak against his grace doctrine,

 

Joseph Prince will immediately offer the excuse

 

that they are under the Old Covenant,

 

and therefore, are inapplicable to New Covenant believers

 

because the New Covenant God

 

will never show His anger at them.

 

But when Joseph Prince

 

finds teachings under the Old Covenant,

 

such as the blessing of wealth on Old Covenant people

 

on Abraham, Isaac and Joseph, etc

 

that could be used to support

 

his New Covenant Prosperity Gospel doctrine,

 

he changes his tune entirely,

 

and arbitrarily, makes them the exception.

 

On the one hand,

 

Joseph Prince says that the Old Covenant scriptures

 

are not binding on New Covenant believers,

 

and so our priority and focus

 

should be the New Covenant scriptures.

 

Yet, on the other hand,

 

when it suits his agenda

 

to support his Prosperity Gospel Doctrine,

 

he selectively harks back to Old Covenant passages.

 

So, Joseph Prince is really getting all of us confused

 

– are we in the Old Covenant or the New Covenant?

 

Joseph Prince, by using the Old Covenant principles

 

to prove his Prosperity Gospel Doctrine,

 

is effectively saying that we, the New Covenant believers,

 

are still under the Old Covenant.

 

Do you see how blatantly inconsistent and self-contradictory

 

Joseph Prince is?

 

How on earth could anyone ever trust this unprincipled fellow

 

for the flippant, inconsistent and self-contradictory way

 

he handles Bible texts?

 

This is blatant double-talking and brazen self-contradiction.

 

I have once again proven

 

that Joseph Prince is indeed, a serial double-talker.

 

 

Part 4: Joseph Prince accuses the Lord Jesus of Egging Believers to Lie, Act Hypocritically & Exhibit False Humility

 

In the sermon on 30 Mar 2025, Joseph Prince said:

 

“When God has made you the righteousness of God,

 

and you come and pretend,

 

“I’m a sinner.

 

I’ve so much sin, Lord.

 

Forgive me for my sins, Lord,”

 

and He has forgiven you already.

 

Are you coming in truth?

 

No.

 

He doesn’t respond with lies, to lies, I mean.

 

Are you listening?

 

You know what’s a hypocrite?

 

Someone who pretends to be what he’s not.

 

Now, if you are the righteousness of God in Christ,

 

and you try to act like a sinner, alright,

 

you tried to be so called falsely humble in front of people,

 

especially in front of God, and all that,

 

God calls that hypocrisy.”

 

What Joseph Prince is saying

 

is that when you have been forgiven of all your sins

 

– past, present and future,

 

and when you have sinned,

 

you come to God to confess your sins;

 

you are lying, acting hypocritically

 

and exhibiting false humility.

 

Joseph Prince is categorically accusing the Lord Jesus

 

for egging believers to lie, act hypocritically

 

and exhibit false humility

 

because Jesus had commanded believers in 5 of the 7 churches

 

in Revelation to repent of their sins.

 

In a teaching session, George Ong said:

 

“Worse, he (Joseph Prince) teaches against Jesus.

 

Hey Joe,

 

“You said that all our future sins are forgiven.

 

You owe us an explanation.

 

If that is true,

 

why would Jesus said to the church of Ephesus,

 

repent?

 

Repent from what?”

 

Repent from what?

 

From sins, right?

 

Repent from sins.

 

Jesus said,

 

“Repent from sins.”

 

How would Jesus ask them to repent from sins

 

if their sins have all been forgiven?

 

Not only to the Church of Ephesus,

 

Church of Pergamum, repent.

 

Church of Thyatira, repent.

 

Church of Sardis, repent.

 

Church of Laodicea, repent.

 

If our future sins are totally forgiven,

 

Jesus would not have told these to the churches,

 

5 of the 7 churches to repent,

 

repent from their sins.

 

So, I have proven again that you teach against Jesus.”

 

Joseph Prince by saying that when you have sinned,

 

you come to God to confess your sins;

 

you are lying, acting hypocritically and exhibiting false humility,

 

is accusing the Lord Jesus

 

for egging believers to lie, act hypocritically

 

and exhibit false humility,

because Jesus did command us

 

as He had commanded 5 of the 7 churches in Revelation

 

to repent of their sins

 

as not all future sins are forgiven.

 

One, such as Joseph Prince,

 

who dares to accuse the Lord Jesus

 

of such serious misdemeanors

 

to mar and destroy His reputation and character,

 

must be a wolf

 

who is sent from and empowered by the devil himself.

Featured YouTube comments about Joseph Prince’s Terrible Attitude to the Falling Glass Incident at Star Vista on Easter Sunday, 20 Apr 2025 that injured 6:

 

@Kai-p8k

 

“In many other churches in Singapore,

 

the pastor who is preaching from the pulpit,

 

would open with a prayer of comfort and healing

 

to those who have been affected

 

by natural disasters worldwide.

 

However, what Joseph Prince did in yesterday’s service (27 Apr 2025)

 

was he took credit for praying for protection

 

over the congregation

 

towards the end of the Easter Sunday service,

 

which prevented many people from being injured.

 

He should have opened his sermon with the whole church

 

praying for those 6 injured people

 

that they will experience God’s healing and comfort

 

to overcome that event.

 

The decision not to pray for the 6 injured people

 

does highlight Joseph Prince’s arrogance,

 

his lack of humility and remorse for such a tragic event.”

 

@lindsaylim5806

 

“Of course, he needs to hide all negative news

 

about New Creation Church in public.

 

That’s why he never mentioned the 6 injured

 

as a result of the incident. 

 

Typical of a narcissist.”

 

@PraiseHisBlood

 

“Agreed. Not a single word of apology

 

for those 6 injured on his church property.

 

He showed no empathy towards his followers,

 

The least he could do is to offer up corporate prayers

 

for those injured.

 

He described the whole incident

 

in such a nonchalant manner…

 

even smiling and joking!

 

His heart is far from them!”

 

@Kai-p8k

 

“One general observation I noticed

 

is that some Anglican and Methodist pastors

 

led their congregation

 

in praying for the Israelis and Palestinians

 

who have been affected by the Israel Hamas war

 

during the first few weeks of the conflict.

 

… Comparing these observations to Joseph Prince,

 

it is quite concerning to see how arrogant a pastor can be

 

when he chose not to lead the congregation in a prayer

 

for comfort and healing for the 6 injured people…”

 

@joejojo4805

 

“The 2025 theme for New Creation Church

 

is “Year of The Third Day,”

 

and yet the shattered glass incident

 

occurred on the third day – Easter Sunday – at 11:30 am.,

 

shortly after the first service ended,

 

and following Joseph Prince’s sermon.

 

Six people were injured.

 

In the Bible, the number six is often associated with man,

 

human effort, and incompleteness.

 

Taken together,

 

the timing and circumstances of the incident

 

seem to bear the weight of a divine warning.”

 

@jamesteo9165

 

“It is uncanny, the date, time and place of the incident

 

does not escape us.

 

It happened at Star Vista on Resurrection Sunday

 

just about the time he finished his sermon. 

 

The glass fell by itself and injured probably church goers.

 

No divine protection.

 

At that time, the mall must be teeming

 

with New Creation Church members. 

 

A statement and a divine warning from God?” 

 

@vijayrem-mn6id

 

“… Joseph Prince has never expected the glass incident,

 

and never in his wildest dreams

 

would he expect it to happen on Resurrection Sunday

 

of all days! 

 

He must be bitterly disappointed

 

that the incident has shattered that image

 

he has been building,

 

craftily and dishonestly, all this while.

 

This certainly has triggered nagging doubts

 

and serious questions

 

about his sincerity and authenticity…”

 

@kof-w4n

 

“Consider Joseph Prince’s big rubbish, heap of half-truths,

 

lies, out-of-context preaching, distorted truths,

 

twisted verses, heresies, his own non-biblical doctrines, 

 

feel-good preaching, contradictory teachings,

 

manipulated preaching on tithing, 

 

personal stories which promote himself,

 

all the pretentious called-out healings every Sunday

 

with the nameless, faceless testimonies

 

that are unverifiable, servile exaltations of him by his team,

 

harmful and irreverent Holy Communion teachings,

 

acting anointed,

 

talking in a way that put himself in a good light

 

vis-a-vis his critics, playing the victim,

 

telling the congregation he draws no salary (grandstanding),

 

lack of transparency, false prophecies

 

… consider all this trash coming forth from his mouth,

 

and one can understand

 

why the Glass Fell on Resurrection Sunday.

 

… No supernatural favour or protection of the people

 

on that day.

 

The wrath of God??”

 

@jamesteo9165

 

“He knows why the incident happened

 

on Resurrection Sunday at Star Vista after his service. 

 

It is clearly a strong warning from God

 

and also a warning to his followers as six were hurt.

 

Yet, he refused to acknowledge and repent.

 

He can twist his words to make bad look good.

 

His pride and ego and heretical teachings

 

will be his downfall.”

 

@achakvenn

 

“What acute embarrassment for Joseph Prince and his team.

 

Why didn’t they get the area cordoned

 

so that no one would have been hurt when the glass fell?

 

What happened to his god

 

who is always telling him this and that?

 

The onus is on Joseph Prince and his team

 

to explain why they didn’t give any forewarning

 

of this unfortunate event

 

even though Joseph Prince always claims

 

to hear from his god.”

 

@jamesteo9165

 

“Taken by itself, it can be dismissed as a freak accident,

 

but taken together with his car accident,

 

it is an ominous sign.

 

In olden times,

 

the king will be in sack cloth and ashes repenting. 

 

God is displeased and sending him a message. 

 

Man, like Rev George Ong, can only warn,

 

but when God warns, he can judge. 

 

Be fearful and humble himself to repent

 

before the Lord lets a worse thing befalls him.”

 

@WordsofGodThe

 

“Joseph Prince says, “.. Why?  God’s protection ..

 

Like what I said last week, do you remember .. 

 

I prayed for all of you ..  there were fewer people

 

at the food place

 

(where the glass fell and injured 6 people) .. ”  

 

Obviously, Joseph Prince assumed

 

that you must believe him

 

because, if he didn’t pray,

 

probably hundred or even thousands of people

 

might be injured?

 

Well, he might have realized

 

that he is not that powerful or anointed after all,

 

especially after this year’s glass accident

 

and his last year’s car accident…”

 

@marietmc

 

“Joseph Prince is indeed a wicked and sly ‘snake preacher’,

 

who make light of the serious accident

 

that happened at Star Vista on Easter Sunday.

 

He called it spiritual attack?

 

Really?

 

Did Joseph Prince meant to say that Satan’s power

 

is greater than Jesus’ power?

 

That God cannot prevent this accident from happening?

 

Joseph Prince,

 

“Deep in your heart,

 

you knew that it was the hand of The Almighty God

 

that allowed it to happen.”

 

It was also the mercy of God

 

that none of the 6 victims were seriously injured.

 

Why?

 

To send stern warning to Joseph Prince.

 

“Yet, Joseph Prince,

 

you are so proud and unrepentant.

 

You showed no remorse, you’re defiant

 

and you purposely preached

 

on ‘Prosperity Gospel’ again

 

just to challenge God.”

 

… Another thing Joseph Prince loved to let the world know

 

that he is not drawing salary from the church,

 

making it sound like he is making huge sacrifices.

 

Let me tell you why he is not drawing salary

 

– because he is not a pastor,

 

because he hates the works of a pastor.

 

What is a pastor’s job?

 

To the outsider,

 

a pastor is one who stand at the pulpit to preach;

 

this is only one part of his work scope.

 

Another part of pastor’s work

 

is the need to go and visit the sick and pray for them

 

(the sheep) in hospitals

 

when they call in to the church,

 

and to conduct funeral services.

 

A real shepherd needs to come down from the pulpit

 

and mingle with the congregation

 

(Joseph Prince hates this area of work).

 

He once shared that he was called to pray for someone

 

who was demon possessed,

 

and how he was so frightened

 

and he didn’t know how to pray to cast out the demon,

 

that he only wanted to run away.

 

He said he called another pastor for help to do it.

 

He didn’t even reveal the outcome of it.

 

He does not have the true light of Jesus in him

 

because Jesus said in Mark 16:17,

 

“And these signs shall follow them that believe;

 

in my name shall they cast out demons.”

 

(these are so call ‘dirty ground works’)

 

that a pastor must do, but he can’t do it.

 

WHY?

 

Because the spirit of God is not in him.

 

So, in order to avoid doing all these hands-on works, 

 

he pretended to be sacrificing his salary,

 

because he is doing very well in his book selling.

 

He just wants to sell his books

 

and to stand at the ‘high and mighty’ pulpit to talk.

 

For many years New Creation Church congregations

 

felt so touched by him not taking salary

 

(this was announced in the church services),

 

and words spread around

 

that you must support him by purchasing his original CD,

 

and that you cannot duplicate his sermons

 

so as to supplement his income.

 

Wow, what a big sacrifice he made,

 

and yes, his only work is to hear from God

 

and reveal them to the congregation.

 

Yet, he made such a big error

 

when said 10 of Jacob’s children are of the bond women

 

forgetting that Leah, who was the older sister of Rachel

 

gave birth to 6 sons.

 

How can he make such big error?

 

Because this revelation was from the devil

 

and not from God.

 

He made the same error again in another sermon

 

saying majority of Jacob’s sons

 

were from the bond women.

 

Joseph Prince has no spirit of Truth in him (1 John 4:6).

 

He is what Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:5

 

“having a form of godliness;

 

but denying the power thereof:

 

from such turn away.”
