It is only the grace of God that has enabled me
to produce yet another Article,
even though as I had informed you
that I am occupied with a personal project
in July, August and early September.
This is probably the last Article for this week.
Please see the Appendix
for the Featured YouTube comments.
Excerpt from the Article:
And just in case,
Joseph Prince slanders us that we are opposed to healing,
which he has done many times before,
let me say again, we aren’t.
We are for the healing that Kong Hee
and the vast majority of Singapore Pastors preach
– that although God can heal, He may not in every case.
But we are against Joseph Prince’s false teaching on healing
– that God must heal in every case.
(This article was also sent to Rev Dr Ngoei Foong Nghian, General Secretary, National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) office, and for the attention of the Executive Committee Members.)
Article 1: Joseph Prince’s gift of knowledge is mere guesswork, the work of a con man
In 5 sermons in 2024 on
7 July, 12 May, 14 April, 7 April & 31 March,
Joseph Prince said;
In the 7 July 2024 sermon, Joseph Prince said:
“Now for this first one, the Lord is healing someone with a right knee condition.”
“There’s someone here, you have a right eye condition. The Lord is healing your eye right now.”
“Someone is concerned, just recently, your hair and I can see you holding the hair at the back and pulling it out. I don’t know what you do that. And you see strands of hair in your hand. God is restoring your hair right now because you asked for it. In Jesus’ name receive that.
In the 12 May 2024 sermon, Joseph Prince said:
“I see someone, your toes have all gone black. You injured your toe some time back. Look at your toe now. It’s healed. Completely healed.”
“Someone with a tooth condition. You had it come to you I think only yesterday or 2 days ago, just recently. Now you are completely healed, all the pain is gone.”
“Someone with a throbbing headache just left in Jesus’ name. Praise the Lord.”
“Somebody here, you have injured your lumbar area. Now you are healed. You can move freely.”
In the 14 April 2024 sermon, Joseph Prince said:
“Or even right now, there’s someone here with Parkinsons, in the name of Jesus be restored.”
“If you are healed in your gums; someone got healed of a few ulcers in your gums.”
In the 7 April 2024 sermon, Joseph Prince said:
“Someone’s hair is restored. Praise God. There are bald patches. You just realised that. Now, you can’t look into mirror right now. Maybe, you can feel it. But God has restored hair. And it’s black, alright. It’s not white hair. Praise the Lord. Thank You, Jesus. So, with renewal of youth.”
In the 31 March 2024 sermon, Joseph Prince said:
“Someone has been having watery eyes for some time and right now. You just had it just now this morning when you woke up. In fact, you thought of not coming but now your eyes are healed. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.”
“Stomach condition healed completely. Praise the Lord. You had a bit of like, if I can describe it, stabbing pain. You feel like someone just inserted a small knife into your stomach and you’re feeling it.”
First, when Joseph Prince said, “Someone…”
no one ought to be fooled
as it can refer to anybody or everybody.
It’s not the gift of knowledge;
it’s the gift of guessing,
disguised and spiritualised as gift of knowledge.
(I have only shown you about 11 occasions
when he said, “Someone” in the context of healing.
This is just a tip of the iceberg.
His “Someone” remark in the same context of healing
appears plenty of times in his sermons.)
No person is named, ‘Someone’.
So, Joseph Prince ought to quit using the word, ‘Someone’
and start calling out names.
if he really has the gift of knowledge.
In this way,
whether Joseph Prince indeed has the gift of knowledge
can be tested.
Even if Joseph Prince does not call out names,
he should at least call or point the person out
from among the audience
that he or she is being referred to.
Also, we can know for sure,
that the person knows it is truly referring to him or her.
The joke is that in a 5,000 audience
when Joseph Prince said,
‘Someone here has a knee problem
and God has healed you now,’
the ‘someone’ could well refer to many in the audience
with the same condition as he has described.
If Joseph Prince really claimed
to have the gift of knowledge and healing,
he must be more specific.
He must say there is someone
with pain in his shoulder,
and God will heal him,
and his name is Peter Lim.
So, all others with the same affliction of shoulder pain,
who isn’t named Peter Lim,
would know God isn’t referring to them.
If Peter Lim is, indeed, healed,
this would remove all doubt
that Joseph Prince is not making mere guesses,
but he is exercising the gift of knowledge and healing.
I have been watching
Joseph Prince exercising his so-called gift of knowledge
in plenty of his sermons for many years,
but I have never heard him a single time,
mentioning a specific name
that that person would be healed.
Naming names would remove all doubt
that Joseph Prince is not making mere guesses
– that what he said about someone with pain in his shoulders
is referring to a specific individual
out of the many with the same problem.
Do you know why Joseph Prince
wouldn’t dare to name names?
He knows he would get it wrong
and that would straightaway expose him
for his fraudulent claim.
Second, after Joseph Prince has given
his so-called words of knowledge in the worship services,
he would have people testify
that they are so-called healed.
I have meticulously gone through
the relevant portions of each of these 5 sermons.
But I discovered that none of these 12 times
in which Joseph Prince gave his so-called words of knowledge,
was mentioned or testified by anyone
that he or she was healed
in the respective worship services.
(If you possess any of these 5 sermons, please go through it
and see if what I said is true).
Let’s just take one example:
12 May 2024 Sermon:
“Someone with a tooth condition.
You had it come to you I think only yesterday or 2 days ago, just recently.
Now you are completely healed, all the pain is gone.”
If Joseph Prince’s words of knowledge in the above
is really from God on 12 May 2024,
then the one who was completely healed of his toothache
would have been so eager to testify in the worship services
by signalling to Joseph Prince’s Pastors
who would go running around looking for such testimonies.
Joseph Prince would give the lame excuse
that his Pastors may have missed this particular case.
Even if that were true,
what about the 11 other cases?
Or, Joseph Prince would offer another excuse
that people can be healed 30-fold at the beginning,
then 60-fold as time progresses, etc.
So, must his words of knowledge be the same;
instead of falsely saying that the person is completely healed.
Joseph Prince would frequently ask those who were healed
to write their testimonies and submit to New Creation Church.
So, the onus is on Joseph Prince
to prove that all 12 of them were healed
and had submitted their testimonies on or around the period
when he gave the words of knowledge
that those people were healed.
If Joseph Prince cannot produce these testimonies,
which he hasn’t till today,
then he is confirmed to be a con man
In conclusion, Joseph Prince’s so-called gift of knowledge
is mere guesswork
that is calculated to con the masses.
And just in case,
Joseph Prince slanders us that we are opposed to healing,
which he has done many times before,
let me say again, we aren’t.
We are for the healing that Kong Hee
and the vast majority of Singapore Pastors preach
– that although God can heal, He may not in every case.
But we are against Joseph Prince’s false teaching on healing
– that God must heal in every case.
Article 2: Joseph Prince must declare that he didn’t go for face improvement or taken pills, not just during the 5-week of his absence in June 2024, but also during the entire length of his 30 years of ministry?
In a sermon on 30 June 2024,
after an unexplained absence of 5 Sundays
Joseph Prince said;
“In case you’re wondering where I was,
just a bit of explanation. Why?
This is family. This is family.
No, no, no moral failure by the grace of God.
No disease by the grace of God.
I didn’t go for an operation, no, no.
No facelift.
No, no, no, no.”
First, Joseph Prince said this is family;
and that is why he had to explain his 5-week of absence
on 30 June 2024,
the first Sunday he preached after he came back.
If Joseph Prince really treats
New Creation Church members as family,
he should have explained his 5-week absence
the Sunday before he left.
Why only explained after he had gone absent for 5 Sundays
leaving everyone in his church
to second guess the reasons for his absence.
Does this sound fishy to you?
Second, Joseph Prince claimed
that he had not gone for any face improvement
during his 5-week absence.
But the more important question is
has he gone for some form of face improvement,
not just during the 5-week absence,
but also during entire length of his 30 years of ministry?
Is he taking supplements or pills on a regular basis
in order to achieve his young and ‘spotless’ look?
This is because his former look when he was younger,
seems to be a little different from his recent look.
Please compare his recent look
with his former look in this video.
to view the 50-second video:
You would have noticed
that the pigmentation on both sides of his faces
were pretty obvious in his former look,
which in my estimate, is at least 14 years ago.
And this pigmentation would become even more obvious
with the passing of years.
So how come they seem to disappear in his recent look?
That is why many have written that he has gone for Botox
or plastic surgery or taken supplements.
I myself have noticed watching him from videos
that in his earlier and younger years,
there are already spots on his face,
but they seemed to have disappeared
in his latest look.
It is either due to the excellent skill of his make-up artist
to make them ‘disappear’,
or he has indeed gone under the knife,
or due to the supplements that he is taking?
Joseph Prince must make a public statement
at the earliest opportunity
that he didn’t go for Botox, or plastic surgery
or taken supplements even once
to achieve his young and ‘spotless’ look.
This not the first time I have asked him
to make a public statement
But till today, he has kept silent.
If he still refuses to make a public statement
that he didn’t go for face improvement, or taken supplements
at all during his 30 years of ministry
to achieve that youthful and ‘spotless’ look,
then he is indeed a FRAUD scamming the millions
with his false Health and Wealth Theology,
and the Holy Communion being the best medicine doctrine.

“Joseph Prince divides families too.
We don’t go to his church,
but my husband sometimes listens to his online sermons.
So, when I pray for loved ones to come back to God,
my husband says there’s no need
because “once a butterfly, always a butterfly
(even though it’s now wallowing in the mud)”.
And if I’m worried that they may have lost their salvation,
then I’m being “judgmental”.
Mind you, I’ve never said anything,
or even hinted to them
that they might be losing their salvation,
I’m only praying for them
(and not even telling them I’m praying for them).
Our own church is big on discipleship,
but why do we even need to disciple
if “once a butterfly, always a butterfly”?
After all, God accepts us for life,
the moment we have said the sinner’s prayer, right?
How I wish our pastors would come right out
and clarify this issue, once and for all.
But nobody actually confronts Joseph Prince directly,
except George Ong.”
@laelsoolang9329
“And it’s so many other contradictions
between what Joseph Prince says in his sermons
and what we’ve been taught.
Our pastors really need to come right out
and explain whether Joseph Prince is legit
or should people stop listening to his sermons.”
@WordsofGodThe
“I don’t know why?
When I clicked on that link
to watch Joseph Prince’s sermon again,
I happened to hear the part that he said,
” .. I have all kinds of testimonies.
Recent one was: a lady whose grandma or I think a mother
was diagnosed with Alzheimer .. was COMPLETELY healed.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNn38T1bDsg&t=824s
Do you know how ironical it is to boast about it
when his pastor (Pastor Lawrence Lim),
in his last Sunday sermon on 14 July 2024,
disclosed that his mother
has been diagnosed with Dementia or Alzheimer too.
Probably, they are now desperately taking the communion,
hoping that she will be healed COMPLETELY too.
However, the funny thing is:
If everyone in NCC has been taking the communion
‘like a medicine’ for so many years,
how can they get this sickness?
I have to scratch my head and ask Joseph Prince,
“How in the world
can someone in your church (your pastor’s mother)
who took the communion daily like a medicine
become so sick that she could not ‘discern’ who is his son,
but as someone who kidnapped her to the nursing home ..
‘I do not wish to disclose people’s family matters;
however, this is really what I heard
and I have to sound the ‘alarm’
(Pastor Lawrence Lim has finally admitted,
in his 11 am sermon this Sunday,
that his mother has just gone to the nursing home)
Maybe Joseph Prince could argue
that Pastor Lawrence Lim’s mother is a non-believer
who has never taken the communion
and that’s why she got such a sickness.
However, that will not make sense too
because there are many believers in New Creation Church
who took the communion daily
and they still got different kind of sicknesses too.
So, obviously Joseph Prince’s promise
of taking the Holy Communion as a medicine is not true.
I have to sound the ‘alarm’
if the teaching of discerning the Lord’s body
is so corrupted that the manifestation and consequences
of it are so ‘alarming’.
What happen if the churches
can no longer discern the Lord’s body anymore
because of false teaching?
What happen if all the churches
just want to keep quiet and mind their own business?
They could be accountable
for not discerning the Lord’s body too
(for not speaking out for the body of Christ),
and more and more people in the churches
will become sick in the long run:
1 Cor 11:24-32 KJV
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me .. (28) But let a man EXAMINE himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (29) For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not DISCERNING the Lord’s body. (30) For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (31) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (32) But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.”

“It takes Rev George Ong to reveal Paul Cain’s background.
Joseph Prince never mentioned it for very obvious reasons.
It’s not what people say;
it’s what they don’t say, like Joseph Prince in this case,
that sucks the New Creation Church members in.”
@WordsofGodThe
“Joseph Prince, Paul Cain, Brian Houston,
Benny Hinn, and Kenneth Copeland,
all want to preach the gospel to the ‘poor’,
so that the ‘poor’ will prosper them.
This is indeed the true ‘gospel’ that will prosper them;
however, at the same time
they know that they have to give the ‘poor’
a very false ‘gospel’
that will make them keep giving to them.
So, at the bottom, the ‘bottom line’ is everyone is a fool,
except those who are at the top
(like Joseph Prince and his ‘prophetic’ teachers
who preach the ‘gospel’).
Although they keep saying
that they are the ‘FOOLS’ for preaching the ‘gospel’,
actually they know they are the ‘GENIUS’!

This report says,
“.. Another complaint involved Mr. Houston
spending 40 minutes while under the influence of alcohol
and anxiety and sleeping medication
in a woman’s hotel room after a HILLSONG CONFERENCE .. ..
IN 2019 ..”I just want to highlight this,
Do you know who was the main speaker
in Hillsong conference (Sydney 2019)?
JOSEPH PRINCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNn38T1bDsg
Do you know how many people
(including the Singapore and oversea pastors)
stayed in the hotel?
Of course, a great crowd of people
who would be a great ‘party’ of celebration too.
While everybody got ‘high’
after hearing a ‘prospering’ message,
celebrating the good success,
and going back to their own hotel rooms,
Mr. Houston went to the lady’s room instead.
So, my question is why would a pastor do it
(after hearing Joseph Prince’s message of ‘grace’)?
If Joseph Prince claimed that
his prospering message of grace is the ‘goodness of God’
that leads sinners to repentance
and that they will never need to repent from any sin
(if they keep hearing only his ‘grace’ messages),
why did Mr. Houston do it.
If a pastor would not even behave
after hearing the ‘grace’ message,
will it work for a sinner
who will just want to hear ‘grace’ only?
So, the ‘hyper’ grace message without repentance
is after all A LIE.
It is just another tool of hypocrisy
for those who do not repent,
and who will take advantage of others
and prey on those who are too ‘weak’
to speak out for themselves
in a highly ‘self-righteous organization’
(like Hillsong or the churches
linked to the hypocritical ‘grace’ message).
While the Bible did say that the goodness of God
leads to repentance,
it never said that the goodness or grace
will do away with the preaching of repentance
or the requirement of repentance.
Obviously, Joseph Prince’s ‘grace’ message without repentance
is a half-truth
(which is used to preach against the doctrine of Christ).”

This video exposes Joseph Prince to be a crazy guy
who twists God’s words however and whenever he likes.
This man is not even biblical-trained
and his only proud qualification is:
“God spoke to me last night”.
Will God speak against His own words to him?
Obviously not.
Joseph Prince is the blind guide leading the blind,
both will fall into a pit.
Wake up New Creation Church!
Look at the evidence that exposes this man.
He is a snare that causes you to stumble
and turn off the right path.
Don’t just go to a feel-good service because of this man.”

“Joseph Prince, a half-truth junkie.
A half-truth junkie preaching the armour of God
with a STRAIGHT FACE
when the very first piece of the armour is the belt of truth.
Without truth, the whole armour of God would be useless
for the Word of God is truth.
He is truly a master of false appearance.”

@joyceliew4352
“May we ask you what do you mean by that?

Yes, we do “bear in mind” what we are saying.

“Matt 22:14 KJV
For many are called, but few are chosen.

@lindsaylim5806
“God chooses the humble.
Do you see humility in Joseph Prince?
Something is wrong with a church
if the members keep praising the pastor and his sermons
as the main reason for their breakthrough.
Are you aware
that God hates the proud and opposes them?
God is also a jealous God
– He won’t share His glory with any human.
What we see in New Creation Church is idolatry
when the members keep quoting Joseph Prince
and glorifying Joseph Prince in their testimonies.
Be discerning!”
@vijayrem-mn6id
“Your hidden assumption
is that God would choose only the perfect.
You think God with His infinite wisdom
must work according to your assumption?
Are you saying Joseph Prince’s teachings
should not be examined and questioned
because we are all imperfect people?
Do you think that all imperfect people are the same
and there is not one wolf disguised as a sheep
and therefore,
we can blindly accept any preacher’s teaching?
It’s up to you to discern and choose whom to believe.
If one enjoys being used and lied to,
he can always choose a false preacher.”
@davidching7803
“You must be from New Creation Church,
or you are someone who doesn’t read your Bible
and simply blindly follows
Joseph Prince’s sugar-coated false teachings.
Most people from New Creation Church
don’t worship Jesus and they don’t read their Bibles.
They idolised money and worship fleshly Joseph Prince.
They are treating Jesus like money God,
only to pray and ask for big houses, money
and nice look/body.
And they still naively think that they could go to heaven.
You must be one of them.”
@vijayrem-mn6id
“Your argument seems to be that Joseph Prince’s teaching
should not be questioned since nobody is perfect.
That argument would result in self-deception.
There are some wolves disguised as sheep,
looking askance at your ATM.
Not to examine a preacher’s teachings
simply because nobody is perfect
is to play into the hands of false teachers.
However, if one enjoys being used and lied to,
he can always remain undiscerning
and choose to follow a false prophet.”
@kengoppingoppin
“You must be a New Creation Church goer,
who loves Joseph Prince.
You must be believing all that he preaches
and have never had a doubt about him.
Why do you land up in that state?
Have you ever asked yourself
why do you adore or idolise him?
Have you ever introspected and wondered
if he has already had a hold on your mind and soul?
Have you ever checked what he says against the Bible
and compared it with other pastors around the world?
Have you ever tested his Holy Communion teaching
by refusing to see a doctor when you are sick?
Have you ever asked how much have you given to him
and how much of his prosperity promises
materialise in your life?
These are reality checks to help and benefit you.”
