We are in the house of God. When all of God’s people come together, the church of Jesus Christ is well and alive. The church is where two or three are gathered together in His name. The building is not the church.
Those outward, tangible, and visible things are nothing more than types and shadows and all these points to Jesus Christ and He has come. We don’t have types and shadows. We don’t have pastors swinging incense here.
The real incense is happening all the time when we raise our hands and worship God. There are angels around us. We don’t need physical cherubim to demonstrate there are angels. The church is larger than what we can see right now. The angels are here and they are sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. We are the heirs of salvation. We will get to realize how indebted we are to this ministry of angels, how they have watched over us, protected us, and kept us in the way. We don’t worship angles and we don’t talk about angels so much in terms of putting them in the center. When we come to church, it is always our Lord Jesus Christ. The angles come to obey Him.
The more of Jesus we see, the more of grace and favor are being brought to you. The more you will enjoy the peace of God.
The more of Jesus we see, you don’t even realize that you are changing. A bad tempered person will have no more this form of reaction coming forth from him. The true change is effortless.
We are to be conformed to the image of Jesus.
People talked about predestination. The bible said those who are saved they are predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. God foreknew who would be here today but God cannot make anyone to accept Jesus. God made man with a free choice. God will not touch our free choice and therefore God can rebel against God.
God foreknew how we would use our free choice. God foreknew we will accept the gift of His Son. Predestination is for those who are saved.
Jesus is all together lovely. No one is like Jesus. People will fall in love with Him.
Jesus spoke two words “follow Me” and strong fishermen have thrown down their nets to follow Him. Children would love to jump on His lap and touch His face.
The disciples would not get familiar with Him. When He is strong, He would not hurt you. Sometimes a rebuke hurts but that is love.
Jesus will cause us to think of our benefactor. You are not afraid anymore to be shown of your weaknesses.
2 Peter 1:2 (NKJV)
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
We want our favor multiplied. We all want peace. Shalom and peace is perfect well-being.
When we feel like blessing everyone that is shalom.
Of all the expressions of our Lord Jesus Christ in the bible which one did the Holy Spirit deems the most precious, the most illustrious, the most beautiful of all the types, pictures, and offices of Our Lord Jesus Christ? – It is the picture of the good shepherd and His flocks.
When God look at the church, God sees the church as a flock.
David said in the Psalm “The Lord is my shepherd”.
Psalm 23:1-6 (NKJV)
The Lord the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David
23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
Of all the titles of Jesus, of all the roles that He plays, this is the sweetest and most well-known title. Even children can memorize this passage.
Psalm 22 begins with “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Psalm 22 speaks of Jesus Christ, the Messiah sufferings on the cross.
Psalm 24 speaks of “Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.” The King of glory refers to Jesus ascension. Psalm 24 also spoke of Jesus return for all of us.
We are now in psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd. The Lord is our feeder and we shall not want or lack. There are rich people who are poor. They are wanting for peace, tranquility, a wonderful family, true fulfillment, rest, true food, they are frustrated and depressed.
The truly rich have lack for nothing. They don’t lack for peace, wisdom, and favor.
Jesus said that He come that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
John 10:10-11 (NKJV)
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
Jesus refers the thieves as the Pharisees and religious leaders. There are people who can teach and rob you. They rob you of your peace, your assurance in Christ. The devil here become personalized and uses these sorts of teachings to steal, kill, and destroy.
Verse 10: The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
The context here is “I am the good shepherd”. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
The context of the abundant life is to see Jesus as our shepherd.
Verse 2: He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
The shepherd makes us lie down in green pastures. That is food. When the sheep lies down on the green pastures, they have food and rest.
What is the greatest need in the body of Christ today? – Food. The body of Christ is hungry. All pastors and leaders are to give people food. You don’t slap the body of Christ. The people will grow if they are fed well.
The body of Christ is not feeding. Something comes by growth. The greatest need is food.
True Food will produce holiness.
The next thing is the body of Christ needed is rest.
Psalm 23:1-6 (NKJV)
The Lord the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David
23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
The moment we have food and rest, we will not be in any lack.
Verse 3: He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Picture of sheep going around the hill in circle making paths
The paths are made by the sheep. This is also known as the path of righteousness.
The top of the hill is known as tikvah and is also known as HOPE.
A good pastor will also go through the same truth and bring the sheep slightly higher up the hill until they reach the top. Each time he leads, the path is higher. This is the path of righteousness for His name sake.
Solomon wrote 1500 songs. There are many songs written in the bible but the Song of Songs written by King Solomon will be the songs that celebrate the love of Christ for His bride.
1 Kings 4:32 (NKJV)
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.
There are 3 ways we can study the Song of Songs.
The Song of Songs is like in the tabernacle of Moses, the Holy of Holies, the holiest spot.
The Song of Songs is the songs that speak of the love of Jesus.
In the body of Christ, there is not much love going on. There is competition and there are people who want to put you down. There is a lack of love for one another because there is a lack of love for Jesus. There is a lack of understanding of His love for the church.
If we love Jesus, we will love His flock. We love the things that belong to our beloved. We love because He first loved us.
The Song of Songs is the most beautiful song; the holiest of all songs, the greatest of all songs, the most romantic and loving, because they unveil the love of Christ for His bride.
There are 3 ways to interpret the Song of Songs:
- Dispensationally – Israel and Jehovah
- Redemptively – Jesus Christ and His bride
- Individually – You and Christ (Pastor will be preaching on this)
There are 8 chapters in the Book of Song of Songs.
The Shulamite woman is depicted as the church.
The king is the shepherd king loves her and woos her until she loves him. She waited for him to return when he is away on a trip.
This is the story of the church.
The woman is loyal to the shepherd king.
King Solomon is the shepherd king.
This is a beautiful love story. The more you know how much Jesus love you, the more you will end up loving Him.
In the Song of Songs there are 7 depictions of Christ, 7 ways Christ is portrayed.
Chapter 1 – The shepherd and his flock (This is the focus for today’s sermon).
Chapter 2 - The king at his table. Jesus is hosting us and we came to His table and had communion. God prepares a table in the presence of your enemies.
Chapter 3 - The merchant man and his fragrance. The Song of Songs is full of fragrance. The believer is the businessman. Jesus is also portrayed as the businessman and deals with spices.
Chapter 4 - Jesus is depicted as the gardener and his garden. This is a beautiful picture of a devotional life.
Chapter 5 - The bridegroom and His bride. Jesus loves us as the bridegroom. The Lord rejoices over you. The Lord does not love you as a husband. He loves you like the bridegroom. Bridegroom love is fervent and romantic and on fire. Husband love is different. Jesus loves you as if it is still on the first day of wedding. Jesus kept the nuptial love as the first day of wedding. The Lord rejoices over you.
Jesus has only His eyes on you.
We are kinder to strangers than our family members and that is a problem. We need to bring back the thank you.
Do what you did the first time. Love is a verb.
Chapter 6 - The lover and his beloved.
Chapter 7 - The Lord of the vineyard.
These are the 7 depictions of Christ.
The focus today is on the shepherd and the flocks.
Song of Solomon 1:1-6 (NKJV)
Solomon’s Love for a Shulamite Girl
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
The Banquet
The Shulamite
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
For your love is better than wine.
3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
Your name is ointment poured forth;
Therefore the virgins love you.
4 Draw me away!
The Daughters of Jerusalem
We will run after you.
The Shulamite
The king has brought me into his chambers.
The Daughters of Jerusalem
We will be glad and rejoice in you.
We will remember your love more than wine.
The Shulamite
Rightly do they love you.
5 I am dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
Because the sun has tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own vineyard I have not kept.
Shulamite is the feminine form of Solomon. She is the beloved. Solomon depicts Jesus reign, golden era, when He come gain and rules this earth. Solomon depicts Christ in His glory.
David depicts Jesus when on earth.
When Jesus came as a baby, the kings of the earth brought myrrh, gold frankincense.
Jesus second coming will bring forth gold and frankincense. There is no more myrrh because myrrh represents bitterness.
God made this universe. God is a triune God. Tri is the word for 3.
What we are discussing is not light talk but heavy talk.
The universe is made of 3 fold things. God is Father, Son, and Spirit and God made man with spirit, soul, and body. The tabernacle has the outer court, holy place, and the Holy of Holies. We are to take care of our body.
Scientist tells us that we are made of time, space, and matters. Time has three parts, past, present, and future. God made time. God is not confine by time. God can go back to your time and heal your childhood. God can go to the future and prepare the way for you.
There are seven signs of Jesus in the gospel of John.
The first sign is when Jesus turns water into wine. He is the Lord of time. Good wine takes seven years to make according to the bible. Every seven year the land rest. Anything we can plant on this earth, we can plant in Israel.
The lowest place on earth is in Israel, the Dead Sea,
The Lord compresses time. Jesus took the water and turned into excellent wine that needed 50 years to make.
The second sign is The Lord of space. This is concerning the healing of the Nobel man son. The Nobel man came to Jesus to seek for healing, the son is not with Him. The son was healed. Distance is no problem for Jesus.
Another sign is He turned five loaves and two fishes to feed ten thousand people. He multiplied matter.
Time has triunity also – past, present, and future. Space has three dimension length, breath, and depth. Matter is energy, motion, and phenomenal.
Yahweh is made up of three verbs in Hebrew – the One who was, the One who is, and the One who is to come.
When you come to Jesus you don’t have to worry about natural forces. Don’t worry about the way the world is going. He can transcend time. He can go into the future. Jesus can go back to your time and heal you in your childhood. The most important thing is to come to Jesus. He loves you.
We are sinful in and of ourselves. Jesus loves us in spite of our sins. He put in grace, and righteousness on you. We need to know this to appreciate His love. Jesus then put His grace, His comeliness, His beauty, and His righteousness on you. That is how you experience His love.
Song of Solomon 1:7-8 (NKJV)
(To Her Beloved)
7 Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?
The Beloved
8 If you do not know, O fairest among women,
Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
Verse 7: Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?
The Shulamite is talking. The church is talking.
She is asking her shepherd lover where He feed His flock. She is hungry for food and she is hungry for rest.
Jesus said “come unto Me you who are hungry and heavy laden.” Jesus will rest you. You became more stable and when people meet you they can sense something about you. You have a touch of the divine. There is something charismatic about you. There is something about you that make them hungry for Christ because you have been in the presence of Christ.
She is hungry for food and rest. This is the greatest thing the church need today.
How did the shepherd respond?
Verse 8: If you do not know, O fairest among women,
Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
This is the first time the shepherd responded. This is Jesus responding.
Jesus calls you the most beautiful among women. Jesus calls you to follow the footsteps of the flocks and come to New Creation Church.
We put Jesus in the center. We see more and more of Him because He is altogether lovely.
You will be fed if you follow Jesus.
If you want to have more feeding, you are to feed. You are to find someone to feed. What you learn on Sunday and from the word, go find someone, a colleague, a friend, and feed them.
Give them food. The world is also hungry for food. Those things in the world are not bread that satisfies.
Footsteps of the flocks – is not individual feeding but you come together. We are the flock of God. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
Sheep don’t go by individual. The individual sheep are the ones that get attack. We move in flock.
There is one guy who is alone, cutting himself, and spend time in the tombstone. This is the person who was demon possessed.
The devil will make you feel that these people are a bunch of hypocrite. Jesus loves all of us and can transform all of us.
We are all hypocrite to a certain extend. Hungry flock is always around. We can easily find someone to feed.
When Jesus rose from the dead one week after that, He appeared one morning in the galilee beach. Jesus made breakfast after His resurrection. Jesus spoke the word to His disciples and they caught the fish.
Jesus rose from the dead with all power and authority in heaven and earth but He still makes breakfast. Some people who gain some spirituality will not touch the mundane things anymore.
The real heavenly life is one that can do things, the practical things, the small things, and the mundane thing with the touch of royalty.
Jesus tasked Peter three times whether he loves Him. Jesus told him to “feed My lamb”. Of all the things, Jesus biggest concern is about His flocks. Jesus also asked Peter to “tend my sheep” and “feed my sheep”.
Lambs are the younger believers. “Tend” is to feed and protect and that the flock is well taken care of. The sheep are the older one.
Jesus entrust this to Peter who a few days earlier denied Jesus.
The Lord restores with quality.
Isaiah 40:11 (NKJV)
11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
The first part of the verse is the ministry of feeding like a shepherd. Jesus sees them as a sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 (NKJV)
36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
Weary is tired and without rest. Jesus didn’t see them as rebellious. The people were like sheep without a shepherd.
Once in a while it is good that we stop and see through the eyes of Jesus. Jesus is kinder than you think.
The church is not a boot camp. It is a place where the sheets are gathered to one shepherd.
The best way to fight the devil is through the bread. The bread of life came as bread. Lechem means bread.
לֶחֶם
(Mem – Chet – Lamed)
Lechem is bread in Hebrew.
The Lord will fight for you. Fight is Lachem is Hebrew and has the same Hebrew spelling. Bread comes from the root word for fight. The best way to fight against the devil is to eat the bread of life. Amen!
When you sit at Jesus feet and eat, He defeats your enemy. Amen!
The Lord prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies. This is not the proper warfare or warfare of the carnal. This is not the warfare of the world which is to put on your arms and fight.
We are fighting from victory.
The devil is not stealing your health that you don’t have. The devil is putting a symptom in you. You are healthy and not trying to be healed. You are to rebuke the symptoms as you are already healed.
You eat healthy because you want to eat those foods. You exercise to express that you are healthy.
When you sit at Jesus feet to listen to Him is never wasted time. Jesus is the Lord of time. Whatever time you give Him, He will multiply them back to you.
We all make time for what is important.
The Lord is able to multiply time.
Many people said they don’t know an hour has passed.
Luke 11:11-13 (NKJV)
11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Jesus repeated this in the Sermon on the Mount. Instead of the Holy Spirit, the verse mentioned good things. Our Father wants to give us good things.
Jesus is typified by the bronze serpent on the cross. Moses lifted up the bronze serpent because they were bitten by snakes.

Bread – is about good ministry.
Those who look to Jesus on the cross are healed. It is not your looking but the person you are looking at.
The snakes came in to bite those people because they were complaining about the manna God gave them. The people said the manna were worthless.
Divine health is better than divine healing.
The bible said man eats angel’s food.
The shepherded feed the sheep with bread which is Jesus Himself.
Bread is any teaching that is the systematic exposition of the doctrines of the bible. This is basically expounding on Christ. Jesus said He is the bread of life. Bread is the person of Jesus.

Fish is the practical application. Fish is always moving.
Bread without fish is not really enjoyable food. We are to take time with Jesus and feed and meditate on the daily devotional. We will walk in the mall or your workplace with a sense of heaven about you. This is the practical application aspect.
Ephesians first three chapters are about bread. The last three chapters refer to fish as the practical application.
God made fish with fins that keep the good in and the bad out. God made fish to move fast when they sense pollution is coming with their fins. God tells His people to eat fish.
Lobster and pigs eat in the pollution. There is no condemnation when you pork.
Egg – from the egg we can get food or get meat. Egg is something you take home with you to meditate, to incubate, and to brood over.
We are to take the teaching of the word and brood over it. It will produce life. Brood is a loving act.
A good ministry does systematic exposition and then there is practical application and then there is also meditational.
We are also to watch out for the negative ministry.
The negative: Bread – stone
There are people who are stoning from the pulpit. People get whacked. Stones are dry and cannot get nourishment out of stone. The Law was written on stones.
Some pastors whack sin from the pulpit. The pulpit is for feeding and not for beating. Stones hurt. Stones can kill.
The negative: Fish – snake
The poison is in the mouth of snake. The poison is in the mouth. The pastor cast aspersion and doubts in the people.
The negative: Egg – scorpion.
The poison of the scorpion is in the tail. Sometimes you hear a person preached and everything is good until the end. Right at the end, the message can become distorted. The sting comes in at the end.
Jesus will grill the fish and feed you. Scientist said egg is good.
We need more than food. We need God’s protection and we need The Lord.
God call these good things. We need to go back to the bible.
Today God wants to give you bread, fish, and egg. Many have been eating very well. It is time we find someone to feed.
In feeding you are fed. We feed them by unveiling Jesus to them. It is not hard to talk to someone about someone you love. God is good. This has to come from the heart. Our vision is to see Jesus in his loveliness.
Pastor Prince’s prayer of blessings over the congregation before end of 1st service:
Pastor wants us to know that we are one flock and the Lord Jesus is there always for you as well as throughout this week. Pastor wants us to see Him as our shepherd lover just for this week. See Jesus as your shepherd lover just when you are about to sleep and seeing Him carrying you in His bosom feeding you, protecting you. Let’s rest in His love for us.
This coming week will be a great week for you. The Lord bless you with the blessings of Abraham and the blessings of Deuteronomy 28. The Lord Himself keep you, preserve you, protect you from every sickness, from the H7N9, from every disease, from every infection, from dengue, from all the powers of darkness and from all the power of the evil one through His own shed blood.
The Lord make His face shine on you and be favorable to you. May you find yourself enjoying the favor of God everywhere you go.
The Lord lift up His countenance on every family under the sound of my voice and grant to you and your loved ones His wonderful shalom, well–being, health, and peace.
In Jesus name, thank you Lord, and all the people said Amen!!!
Gav.

Testimony
Christopher – Grandma (Gma) 90yo. Hospitalised. Told to prep for the worst. Looked v weak and unconsc. Felt prompting to pray for her. Anointed her. She was still unconscious. 20min later, he received a call that Gma was awake, chatting away and eating. Few days later, was fit enough to go home. Shared when unconsc felt fearful and after a.oil was applied, she felt it lift and she woke.
From States- Years struggle w horrible bouts of Prone’s disease… Bouts of diarrhoea, nausea and abdm pain. Declared Jesus finished work over it. The LORD is so good. Disease is gone. Doc said no sign of disease or inflammation anymore.
================ First sermon
When God’s people come together- the church of Jesus Christ is alive and well. Where two or three are gathered in my name. People think church is building – that is Judaism ideally. Types and shadows. By Jesus who was pointed to at by the type and shadow is here. Every time we worship Jesus, He is here. Angels are around us. The church is larger than what we see right now.
Why are the angels here? Minister to the heirs of salvation. One day in heaven we will see how indebted we are to this ministry of angels- protection. But we don’t worship angels. They have come to obey our LORD JESUS CHRIST. The more we see Jesus, the more we enjoy His Shalom and inheritance.
Don’t realise sometimes even that we are changing as we listen to Jesus.
Man who had v bad temper but experienced effortless through change. We are being transformed.
Pre-destination- some people say some are pre-des to be saved, some not. No. Can say if we are saved, pre-destined to be transformed.
God foreknew who would accept Jesus. But he did not make us choose to accept Jesus. There is free choice. God foreknew and those he foreknew, he predestined. Predestination is for those who accept His salvation.
No one is like Jesus. He is a man of mans. He spoke two words “Follow Me” and strong robust men left their fishing nets and followed Him. There is something about His charisma that kids longed to jump on His lap and touch His face. There is something about Jesus. When He is strong He can’t hurt you in a bad way. Sometimes rebuke hurts but it is done out of love. When we know our debts are paid, we can look at every past ledger and be filled with gratefulness. No longer defensive or fearful.
1Jn1:9- if it means earning forgiveness to u then u better make sure u confess every sin. U will go bonkers. Not possible.
Shalom- feeling so alive u wanna bless everyone on the street.
Of all the expressions of Jesus in the bible, which did HS deem most illustrious and precious? Pic of the good shepherd. Shepherd and His flock. God sees His church as flock
Ps23- The LORD is my shepherd.
A man dying of cancer and was led by inner man to go Israel to watch sheep, study Ps23. To study it and will be healed.
A biz man – many years ago- lost for business ideas. Lie down on couch and closed his eyes. Meditated on Ps23 from rest and an idea came to mind. The idea made him a millionaire.
U don’t meditate for the money.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. – even kids have the grace to memorise this. Ps22—- He has done this- finished it. About Jesus on the Cross. Ps24—- lift up your gates (Jesus ascension and of second coming) We are NOW in Ps 23. Not Ps22, Ps24. When the LORD feeds us, we will not lack.
Many rich people in the world but poor in their life- lack of rest or true fulfilment or shalom.
We are truly wealthy. We don’t lack His shalom or His favour.
No pt wasting 40y to gain riches and then waste 40y to gain back lost health.
There are people out there trying to rob our peace. Enemy using them.
John 10:10-11–> See Jesus as Shepherd.
Exposition of Ps23 see DVD
“Lie down in green pastures”- food and rest
Greatest need for body of Christ- Food
The body of Christ is hungry. Whenever u stand up, give people food. All over the world, the body of Christ is hungry.
Feed and be patient. And the child will grow. Some things come by growth. Be patient. If give good food, they will grow up healthy and well. Good food. True food.
Body of Christ also desperately in need of rest. Ps23 speaks of this both. Once we have food and rest, we will not lack.
Bedouin boys with sheep and the sheep would walk in circles and leave a path (terraces) behind them—- “He leads me in the path of righteousness”. Each time the Shepherd will lead the sheep one step higher to feed. The peak of the hill is called “Tek-va” which means hope. Need to go through the same truths. But each time higher and higher.
Song of Songs – by Solomon 1Kg 4:32. He wrote 1005 songs. In the bible we have many songs but of all songs, the Song of Songs will celebrate the love of Christ for His bride. Holy of Holies. Song of Songs.
In the church today, many competition and people looking to put u down. Why? Little love for Jesus. If we love Jesus, we will love His flock. We love the things that belong to our beloved.
Lack of love because of a lack of understanding.
We love because He first loved us.
Song of Songs can be interpreted a few ways
Dispensation-ally- Israel and Jehovah
Redemptively- Christ and Bride
Individually- U and Christ
The king is also a shepherd. Loves her and woos her. She waits for him and is faithfully awaiting his return.
SOS – 7 depictions of Christ
- shepherd and his flock (today’s focus)
- king at his table (chapt 2- Jesus is hosting us. We had communion. Ps 23 also talks about the table. Eat. )
- merchant man and his fragrance (chapt 3. SOS mentions many fragrance. The business man – the believer- rept Jesus.)
- gardener and his garden (chapt 4. Devotional life.)
- bridegroom and his bride (chapt 5. The LORD rejoices over you. He loves you like a bridegroom and not a husband- bridegroom lovers fervent and on fire. Jesus is our husband but he is always our bridegroom- intimate love that is fresh. Always looking at you w passion and rejoices over you as bridegroom rejoices over his bride. Jesus only has eyes for you. Some people after marriage start talking curtly to each other. If we are kind to strangers, we can be kind to our family members too. Bring back the please, could you, thank you. Start treating wife like the best thing in the house. Some people say they can’t help but hit their wives but they can help it and not hit a bigger man standing before them. Physical attributes and spiritual attributes of Jesus described here. Beautiful depiction.)
- The lover and his beloved (chapt 6)
- The LORD and His vineyard (chapt 7)
Shlomo- Solomon. Shulamite.
David pic of Christ on earth. 3D army. Solomon pic of Christ in His glory. Kings of the earth will bring Him gold and frankincense but no more myrrh (bitterness and suffering).
Triune God- three. Trivia- where the three roads meet.
We have a soul, a mind but we live in this house (body). Only have one. Make sure you take care of your body.
Science–> Time, Space, Matter. 3 parts.
Time also has three parts- past, present, future. God is the LORD of Time. Not confined by time. God can go in to your past and heal your childhood and go into your future and prepare it for you. Jesus turned water into wine- shows how He is LORD of Time. It takes a long time for vineyard to be ready to produce wine, and then for the wine to be ready (takes time to age).
Wine in Israel takes 7 years for vineyard to be prepared to give wine. Not just 3. According to Talmud. In Israel, land rests every seven years. Only place in world u can go to snow cap mountain then to swimming afterwards in the sea.
The LORD is the LORD of space – the nobleman’s son was not with him. Jesus healed him the moment he told him go your way, your son lives. Distance is nothing to him.
The LORD is the LORD of matter- five loaves and two fishes. Energy, motion, phenomena.
YHV- the one who continuously existed in the past, the one who exists now and the one who will exist.
He can transcend time. Come to Jesus. He loves you.
The lady says I am dark and lovely. In and of ourselves we are sinful. He loves us in spite of our sins—> How we experience His love.
Song of Songs 1:7-8 “Tell me whom I love”- beautiful way to address spouse. Not “eh”, “you”, “oei!”
Greek – Come unto Me. I will rest you.
When u come to Jesus, u have a touch of the divine that makes them hungry for Jesus. Been in the presence of Christ- rested by Jesus.
The first time the shepherd responds – v8- If you do not know, fairest among the flock. Follow in the footsteps of the flock. Follow the flock and you will be fed. If you want more feeding, feed. Find someone to feed.
Flock- not Indiv feeding. Come together. Indiv sheep get attacked and devoured. Don’t come to church because think people are hypocrites but they too are one. All of us are. Which is why we need Jesus.
Jesus resurrected and with power— and he made breakfast for disciples. Real royalty- does the mundane with a royal touch.
Jesus to Peter- feed my lamb, tend my sheep, feed my sheep.
Lamb- younger believers
Tend- feed and protect and care
Sheep- mature believers
Jesus entrusts these to Peter who just denied him with cursing and swearing. Don’t think u failed last time, means he can’t love u. He always restores with quality. World- bird with broken wings can’t fly high. Jesus restore us with a stronger wing, soar higher.
Isa 40:12
- ministry of feeding. How? Like a Shepherd. See Matt 9:36 Jesus saw them not as rebellious but as hunger and tired. Like sheep without shepherd. We got to stop looking through eyes of man and look through the eyes of Jesus. Kindest.
Church is not a bootcamp. Place where sheep are gathered before the shepherd
Lechem- bread
Bethlehem- house of bread
Stand still, the LORD will fight (lechem) for you.
Root word for bread is fight.
The best way to fight the devil is to eat the bread of life. You eat and He defeats your enemy.
Armour in Eph- put it on to stand, not fight. We stand on HIS victory.
We are healthy but the enemy places symptoms in us. Already healed. You eat healthy not to work for health. But because you enjoy healthier food. You work out not for health but to show you are healthy with His health.
Make time for what is important. The LORD is able to multiply time.
Pastor sees NCC as a church of leaders. Light of the World.
Jesus said- if a son asks for bread, will father give a stone? Luke 11:11-13
Sermon on the mount – good things
Medical science- SNAKE depicted around a staff. (Pic of Jesus- who so looketh, liveth) Just look. It is the person you are looking at.
Why snake bit them? Divine health> divine healing. Manna- pic of heavenly food. The people said their soul was tired of worthless food (champion food actually). Shepherd fed the flock with bread (portion of Himself- I am the bread of life). Bread is the person of Jesus.
Some people like to snatch defeat from victory. Find something good, not always looking out for the bad things. Focus on the bright side of life. Two prisoners in cell- one look at mud, one look at stars. Both are there. Focus on the greater truth.
POSITIVE MINISTRY
Bread – JESUS! Everything that is Jesus.
Fish (practical application)- bread wo fish is not enjoyable. Both together. Study and feed on that. His love is always fresh for me.
Egg (incubate and meditate)- Gen 1- Spirit of God moves over water. Move- same Hebrew word used when Eagle put wings over young. Loving. Brood over the food. Meditate on it. It will produce life.
Eph- 1st three chapt (bread), last three (fish). Fish has fin that gets them out of trouble. And equipped to filter through the pollution.
NEGATIVE MINISTRY
Stone- dry, no nourishment, law was written on stones. Ministry of whacking. Slap whole church from pulpit to whack one person. Pulpit for feeding and not whacking. Never go to pulpit and preach out of anger and bitterness. Stones hurt. Can kill.
Snake- poison is in the mouth. First mention of snake in the garden of Eden. U listen thm to preach and they will teach something else other than God’s Word. Cast doubts and aspersions. To those who see Jesus, everything is beautiful. Those who are perverted, see perversions. In the mind.
Discipline and correct kids- discipline is necessary. Correction gets them to grow straight.
Scorpion- poison at the tail. Everything is good and then at the end of the sermon, undo the sermon. “…not everyone is kept saved, you know better now that you are saved.”
Medical Science- discovered EGG is good. You need both yolk and white. Last time ask people to eat white and avoid yolk. The person who promoted protein only, slipped and hit head and died. You need the LORD, not just healthy food. Stick with the bible.
U have fed well. Don’t you think it is now time to go find someone to feed? In feeding you are fed. U feed by unveiling Jesus to them.
Look at NCC’s church vision (see church website).
God foresaw we would sin and prepared His son to come die for our sins.

[[[[ Begin Quote Joshen Zu Xian ]]]]]
Intro:
Remember that the House of God is any place where 2 or more are gathered in His name. The more of Jesus you see, the more grace is revealed. The more you see Jesus, you, your life, your body, your whatever, be it habits, weakness, circumstances, will be changed without you realizing it.
Predestination has been given a bad rep (some ppl say only those God has “chosen” will be saved), but the truth is ,
Romans 8:29-30
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
In other words,He already knows who will accept Him, and He predestined those people to be like Him. For those who are saved, and those who will be saved in the future, they are destined to become like Jesus. And Jesus is altogether lovely.
——————————————————-
Main segment:
Of all the expressions, depictions and illustrations of Jesus in the Bible, which is the most precious, most beautiful role/character that the Holy Spirit brings up time and time again?
It is the picture of the Good Shepherd and His flock.
Psalms 23
23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
There was a man, who had a deadly cancer, and with his remaining months left to live, he went and joined himself to a farm and stayed there, spending time with the sheep and meditating on Psalms 23. At the end,long story short, he was healed.
Another man,who was sleepless in bed cos he needed a good business idea, began meditating solely on Psalms 23, and soon after he got an idea that made him a millionaire. All this by meditating in the Shepherd.
Now, we know what is Psalms 23, but what is before that? Psalms 22.
1
M yGod, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
16
For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced[c] My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
18 They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.
And what is after Psalms 23? Psalms 24.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Now, we are not yet in Psalms 24, cos Jesus has not yet come in. So still in Psalms 23. So what does it say?
When the Lord is your Shepherd, you SHALL NOT lack but have life more abundantly! Check this out: John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
What is thecontext?
11 “Iam the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
When you see Him as the Good Shepherd, that is the key to having life and life more abundantly. Back to Psalms 23,
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
when the sheep is lying down in green pastures, what is it enjoying? Food and Rest!
The greatest need for the body of Christ is FOOD .
The people are hungry. If you want to see growth, be it natural or spiritual, first feed them well, and also, be patient. The second greatest need is Rest, and Psalms 23 has both, and if you have these, food and rest,you will never lack.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Now, what is the paths of righteousness?
pathsofrighteousness.jpg
Do you notice the ‘lines’ on the ground? Those trails were made by shepherds leading their flocks round and round the hill while grazing, and these paths are known to the jews as Paths of Righteousness. And at the summit, that place is called “Tikvah” literally translated as “hope”.
——————————————————————
main segmentpart 2
Song of Songs(SoS) was written by King Solomon, who also wrote 3000 proverbs and 1005 songs, and this one the Holy Spirit calls the SoS. Kinda like the Holiest of Holies. It is a song that celebrates the love of Christ towards his Bride.
Ps sidetracks:
If ever you notice that there is a lack of love for one another, it is cos of a lack of love for the Lord. and that is cos of a lack of revelation that you are LOVED by God.
Back to topic : SoS can be read 3 different ways, dispensationally,redemptively, and individually.
Dispensationally= interpret between Israel and God.
Redemptively = ” ” Christ and Bride
Individually = ” ” You and Christ
In SoS, there are 7 different depictions of Christ. Pastor propose to have midweek bible study on the SoS, woot!
1. Shepherd andflock.
2. King at the table, chapt 1 v12
3. Businessman and his fragrances and spice , chapt 3
4. Gardener and his garden , chapt 4
5. Bridegroom and bride, chapt. 5
Ps sidetracks: notice it is written that Christ loves the church like a bridegroom loves his bride, and not as a husband loves his wife.There is a difference. There is that special joy and awe that a bridegroom has before it fades away and “my darling”becomes “oei!”
Remember that love is not a feeling, it is a verb. Actions speak louder. If you have lost that first love, then go back and do the first works in order to rekindle that fire.
Back to topic:
6. Lover and beloved.
7. Lord of the Vineyard.
—————————————————————————-
Interestingly, the entire universe is ordered in groups of 3.
First in God we have the Father, the Son and the Spirit.
In humans, we have the Spirit, the Soul and Body.
On earth, Land,Sky and Sea.
In time, Past Present Future
In Temple, Outer court, Inner court, Holy of Holies
In matter, Solid, Liquid, Gaseous.
In dimension, Length Depth Height.
Joshen’s commentary: I’m still not sure why Ps share this… lol…
——————————————————–
Now, in John,we also see 7 signs that show that Jesus is God.
1. Water into Wine – Jesus as Lord of Time. By Isreali standards, a good bottle of wine will require vines at least 7 yrs old, and storage of about 50 yrs ( i dont know about wine so =/ )
2. Healing of the Nobleman’s son – Jesus as Lord of Space.
3. 5 Loaves + 2 Fish – Jesus as Lord of Matter.
4.
5. } Possibly to be expounded on during midweek (2 mid weeks?!!! WAAAA AWESOME!!!)
6.
7.

Before closing:
SoS1;7-8
(ToHer Beloved)
7 Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who veils herself[g]
By the flocks of your companions?
She is hungry for food and rest. And his response?
8 Ifyou do not know, O fairest among women,
Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goat
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
If you want tobe fed, feed others.
Joshen’s Commentary: I find this to be very true. Whenever I share something about revelations the Lord has given me, or I share what Ps has preached, I often times get further insights and revelations while I am still speaking. I understand what it feels like when Ps says “I want to stop and take notes on myself”. And this happens most often while I am preaching to/sharing with a friend face to face.
John 21
9 Then as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
Look at Jesus, after He rose, in all His POWER, made breakfast. Then turning to Peter, He said
1. feed my lambs.
2. tend my sheep.
3. feed my sheep.
Feed the young ones first. Protect the rest, and feed them.
There is a song, adapted from Isaiah 40:11
11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
What is the best way to fight the devil?
לָחַם lacham, which is spelled exactly like לֶחֶם which is pronounced lechem
now, lechem =bread, from where we get Bethlehem, Beit-lechem, House of Bread.
and lacham has two meanings. The first is to make war, and to fight. The second is to devour or to eat.
In Numbers 14:9
9 Onlydo not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread;their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”
The best way to fight the devil is to feed on Jesus. That is why a table is prepared for you in the presence of your enemies as said in Psalms 23.
Bread is a very powerful picture in the Bible. The children of Israel were bitten by snakes because they despised the manna, and called it worthless bread. That manna which was food for the angels, champions food, they called cheap. That’s their mistake.
Look at Luke11:11-12
11 Ifa son asks for bread[a] from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks fora fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
Bread = any systematic teaching of the Bible, more specifically, the teaching of the Bible to reveal Jesus.
Fish =practical application.
Ephesians is a perfect example. First 3 chapters, expounding on Christ, last 3 chapters, exhortations to practical application.
Egg = something you can take home and meditate and incubate, and when it is ripe, it will hatch and produce chicks, which is meat
On the flipside,
Stone = Legalistic teaching, judgemental teaching. Preaching that slaps 10000 people to discipline a select few. Leaders, be courageous, if you need to correct, seek the offender out and do so, instead of hiding behind the pulpit. The pulpit is not for beating but feeding.
Snake = Teaching with poison in the fangs/mouth. Teaching that casts doubts on God’s word. We have no business with these things.
Scorpion =Teaching with poison in the tail. Yes! .. but! teachings. Yes! God loves you and died for you…. BUT you must do this do this do that.. Yes God is love but… He is hooooooly… -.-///
—————————————————-
closing :
Do you want the Father to give you good things?
New CreationChurch’s Vision:
To see Jesus in all the loveliness of His person & the perfection of His work, & to make Him known through the preaching of the gospel.

Jesus is my Shepherd!
The church is where 2 or 3 gather in Jesus’ name.
When we worship God with our hands raised, angels are around us. The church is larger than what we see right now! The angels are here to minister to us. We are the heir of salvation. The angels have protected us and kept us.
They have come to obey Jesus!! The more we see Jesus the more we enjoy and transformed.
All true change is effortless.
God’s purpose is for us to conform in the image of Jesus.
God foreknew who will be here and accept Jesus. God don’t make us to accept. He don’t touch our free choice. God foreknew how we will use our free choice. Those received Christ, He foreknew that we are predestined to be transformed like Jesus!
There is no man like Jesus!
When Jesus is strong He will not hurt me. When our loved ones correct us is because He loves us!
Our Lord Jesus is been revealed more and more today!
God’s favour and peace multiply in our lives!!
Shalom is perfect well-being! When you feel alive, that is shalom!!
Picture of good shepherd. Shepherd and His flock.
A biz man had lost of ideas. He meditated on Psalm 23 and his biz turned around and he was made millionaire.
The Lord is my Shepherd and i shall not be in lack!
Psalm 22, is oh my God why have they forsake Me..
This speaks of Jesus on the cross
Psalm 24 speaks of the King of Glory shall come in.
We are not in Psalm 22 or 24, we are in 23!
The Lord IS my Shepherd. He is still IS! We will not lack. We are the richest person on planet earth! We are not lacking for peace or rest.
Jesus said He has come that I may have life and have it more abundantly.
Psalms 10:10-11
So he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his strength.
He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
The abundant life is to see Jesus as our Shepherd.
Psa 23
PSALM 23
The Lord the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
The greatest need in the body of Christ is FOOD!!!
Feed and be patient. Something comes by growth. The greatest need is food!!
Good food will produce.
Rest is needed
When the sheep has food and rest, he will not lack!
Feed of the sheep will produce pathway. They walk around in circles and this is what Psalm 23 meant by walk in the path of righteousness.
We have a positive expectation to end up in HOPE!
We still need to go to same truth. But every time we go through the path, it is slightly higher.
1 Kings 4:32
He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.
The song of songs celebrate the love of Christ!
We love the things that belong to our beloved. Lack of love to one another is because we lack of love to Jesus.
God made this universe! You live in this body. Don’t check out too early. Take care of your body.
Jesus loves me like a bridegroom. It is always so fresh!! As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, the Lord rejoices over me!!!
He only has eyes for me.
Love is not a feeling, is a work 
If you can be kind to stranger, you can be kind to your family.
Shepherd and His flock
The gardener and His garden
David is a picture of Christ.
Myrrh is bitter – Suffering love
God made man like Himself.
We are a spirit being. There is a place to house us.
Universe is built in Time, Space and Matter.
Time has 3 parts- past, present and future! God is not restricted by time! God is the Lord of time! He made time! He can go to the past to heal our wounds for us. He can go future to path our future for us!
He is our I Am. He is the Lord of time! He created miracle when He turned water to wine. For wine to be used, the Israel has to wait for 7 years.
There are 7 signs in the gospel of John. The 1st one He turned water to wine!!
Anything you can plant on this earth, you can plant in Israel.
The lowest place on earth is Israel, the Dead Sea. Jesus can compress time!!
The Lord is the Lord of Space!
Noble man’s son was healed. Jesus said go your way, your son lives. The son was not with Him and He healed him. Jesus is not restricted by space.
Jesus multiplied 5 loaves and 2 fish. This is matter! He is the Lord of matter!
The One who was, the One who is, and the One who is to come!!
He is the One who is existing and continue to exist!
When you come to Jesus, don’t worry about time, space and matter. The most important thing is come to Jesus!!
In and of ourselves we are sinful. He loves us in spite of our sins! He put His grace on us!!
Song of Songs 1:7-8
(To Her Beloved)
Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?
(The Beloved)
If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
She is hungry for food. She is hungry for rest.
Jesus said come to me, I will rest you.
She is hungry for food and rest. And the good Shepherd come and rest her.
Follow the flock and you will be fed. If you want more feeding, feed!!
Individual sheep are the one that get attacked. Follow the flock!!
Jesus spoke the word and the fishermen caught the fish!
We put Jesus in the centre because He is altogether lovely!!!
Find someone to feed!! Feed them! Give them food!!! Feed them with the Word!! This is bread that satisfy!!
If you want feeding, follow the footstep of the flock!!
The Lord is my Shepherd, i shall not be in lack!!
Hungry sheep is always around. Feed them!!!
When Jesus rose from the dead, He made breakfast!!
The biggest concern for Jesus was His flock.
Jesus told Peter 3 times, feed My lamb, tend my sheep, feed my sheep. Lamb are younger believers
Tend is not just feed but protect.
Sheep, the older believers.
Jesus chose Peter, although he failed last time. He will heal our wings and we can fly much higher and better with His restoration!!
The matchless love of our Lord Jesus! He always restore us with quality.
Isaiah 40:11
He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
Jesus did not see them as rebellious. He saw them hungry and tired because they are like sheep without shepherd.
See ourselves with the eyes of Jesus. He is kinder than I think. His kind heart is kindest beyond all measure.
Matthew 9:36
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
The church is a place where sheep are gathered and we unite to one Shepherd.
Lechem-bread
Lachem -fight feed
The best way to fight against the devil is to feed on the Bread! We are fighting FROM victory.
We sit at Jesus’ feet and eat!!
Stand because it is victory ground!!
We are healthy, not trying to achieve, but we are and have health. It is easier to stay healthy knowing we have health and not trying to get health!!
We all make time for what is important. The Lord is able to multiply time!
We are salt. We make people thirsty in the world.
Luke 11:11-13
If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
The Father wants to give us good things!
Put our mind on the bright side of life. Look out to the window and see the stars and not mud! mud will pass away but stars stay forever!!
Who so look, live! Look to the bronze serpent!! Simplest thing in the world is looking. It is the Person we look at that is important. Divine health is better than divine healing!
The manna is the picture of heavenly food! Don’t look down on the manna. We eat champion food!
Enjoy the food that comes from God and we will be kept healthy!!
The positive side of ministry -
Bread, Fish and Egg
Bread is any teaching – systematic teaching on the bible, expounding Christ.Shepherd feeds the flock with bread. Bread is Himself!
Fish depicts application. Bread without fish is not enjoyable food.
Take time with Jesus.
Jesus always rejoice over me!
It is always fresh!!
Sense of heaven about me! It is application!!
God make fish that has fins that filter the dirty pollution.
Egg is something we sit on it, meditate on it. We get food after the incubation.
Meditate on something you get from preaching.
The negative side of ministry-
Stone, Snake and Tail
Instead of bread, stone is the negative side.
Stone – you get condemned, stone threw on you. You cannot get nutrition from stone.
Stone can kill.
Don’t preach out of anger.
Fish instead – snake
Snake – poison is in the mouth. Instead of teaching God’s word, they are preaching something else. Cast doubts.
Egg instead – tail
The poison in the tail. They kill everything that is good. Implying that not everyone get saved. The sting comes in at the end. Be careful of that!
Children that are corrected grow up strong.
Be in the ministry of Bread, Fish and Egg.
Stay away from ministry of Stone, Snake and Tail!
You need more than just food, you need Jesus’ protection!!!
You need the Lord!!
In feeding you are fed!
Is it hard to talk about someone you love?
