Today is the Day of Your Miracle

Concluding Message

Final sermon by Ps Emma Claudia Castellanos at the G12 Asia Conference 23 Aug 2025

Scripture:

Mark 5 talks about the woman who has been bleeding for years. After spending all he money on treatment with no avail, she decided to go and touch Jesus. She touched his garment and she was healed of her sickness.

She heard about Jesus. She visualize that she can touch and be healed. She is persistent to touch him despite the crowd, hoping that just a touch will make her well and it did. And Jesus said to her that " your faith has healed you...go in peace and be freed from your suffering".

4 steps to receive a miracle from God from the experience of G12 International Charismatic Missions church in Bogota.

1. Receive a promise from God in the Word

2. Visualize the promise - it starts with the imagination of the miracle. You are what you think.

3. Decree with your mouth - to issue a formal authoritative command. A decree commands action.

4. Persistence in prayer - we need to dedicate time for God, to be still and know that He is God. Time for prayer before something happens - 40 days

Promise of good health

3 John 1:2 beloved, i pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul

Prayer that FCBC will add 1500 people to the church by 2026

There are more chapters in the pages of Acts, and we will write them. Pray to the Lord that he will send laborers to the harvest.

Time Management or is it really Project Management?

We have been told since young by others that in order to do something well, we need to have good time management. As one who leads projects for a living who knows a thing or two about this, I will say that time management is a fallacy. Purely speaking, time management (just like managing people) refers to managing time in which we control time, i.e. we can accelerate it (to make it go faster), slow it down, or to stop time. We can do this with a lot of things but we cannot manage time - it continues to chug along, whether we like it or not. If you were to ask me the time and my answer is, say 9:00am, that time is already gone because it is 9:01am when you continue with what you are doing. Time is like a freight train or a subway that we can only latch on to and hope we can do things within the allotted time. Ask the student who needs to submit the paper at 11:59pm Sunday night or the employee who need to submit the report Mon morning 9:00am. In truth, what ...

The Mental You - Reducing Stress part 2

Just like there are always 2 sides to each story (the good and the bad), we can tackle issues in 2 ways - either head on or perhaps we can do something opposite altogether. The previous post is primarily concerned on how to overcome stress by reducing it. Another way is to focus on something totally unrelated to stress. So, rather than looking at fixing the bad, we focus on the good such that there is little room for the bad. Let's work on this together... Positive Thinking What do you see if you turn on the news, or start looking at social media? More often than not, aside from the beautiful people and cute cats, the news is mostly gloom and doom. There are wars and rumors of wars, climate change due to global warming causing floods, and other disasters, earthquakes at various parts of the world. So, it's no uncommon for us to no longer see the world in rose-tinted glasses but glasses with murky lenses. And yet, to reduce stress, this is the one thing we must do - to think ...

Parenting

How did you do it? This question has been asked by many of my friends and colleagues when they found out about my children. We had initially thought that what we went through is typical. But as we talked to more and more people, it is only then we realized that the journey is not so common after all. Singapore has been ranked amongst the top countries in the world by PISA, short for the Program for International Student Assessment that is under the OECD umbrella. In some years, it is actually ranked number 1. In other words, to be able to get through the Singapore education system is difficult enough as it is. The Journey to College By the grace of God, both my kids did well in the system by being selected into the Gifted Education Program (GEP) - for the top 1% of students - and then getting into Raffles Institution (supposedly the number 1 school in Singapore), and achieving straight As in the Singapore-GCE Cambridge "A" levels, and then receiving offers from a few o...
