This is the website of David Prince - A confident Communication of Christ.What is Salvation?Posted on August 4th, 2009
God loved the people of this world so much that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die.
Yes, that’s right! God’s Son Jesus - was sent to earth to rescue everyone of us from our sins.
We at Newday-prince strongly believe that God’s plan of Salvation is very important for everyone.
Why?
Because Jesus died for us, by being subjected to death on a cross.
His sacrificial love bought our freedom.
What does it mean to be saved?
Saving us is all God’s idea, and all His work.
All we do is trust Him enough to let Him do it.
It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing!
No, we neither make nor save ourselves.
God does both the making and saving.
There’s no need to think we deserve this gift of salvation only by our efforts or actions.
There’s no need to analyse, or give payment for it.
No, this gift is absolutely free!
A pure gift. God got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where He always wanted us to be. And He did it by means of Jesus Christ.
Consider this: Do you know for certain that your sins are forgiven?
Do you know for sure that you’re accepted into God’s family?
Do you know for definite that you’re going to live forever?
Do you know without any doubt that you’ll have a home in Heaven?
Have confidence in this; Jesus has forgiven your sins and carry’s on wanting to help you.
All you have to do is:-
Talk to God, admit your wrong-doings, and turn away from sin.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and receive Him into your heart.
Follow Jesus, and give Him control of every event in your life.

Who is Jesus?Posted on August 3rd, 2009
Jesus had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of Himself that He had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, He set aside the privileges of Deity and took on the status of a slave, became human!
We at Newday-Prince strongly believe that Jesus is very important and central to our Christian walk and faith.
Why?
Because of His obedience, God lifted Him high and honoured Him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in Heaven and on Earth - even those long ago dead and buried - will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that He is the Master of all, to the glorious honour of God the Father.
__What’s so special about Jesus?
Focusing on the life of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, all wrote accounts of how Jesus imparted skills and knowledge with such expertise and clearness of speech. He was concerned about our destiny, our relationship with God, and how we should relate to each other.
Jesus also carried out miracles which included: Turning water into wine, feeding the five thousand, walking on water, healing the blind, curing the Paralytic, the leper, epileptic, those with fever and even raising the dead!
Jesus came to find and restore the lost.
He came for those who are rejected from society or home.
He came for those who find themselves in degrading situations.
He came for those who are suffering with sorrow and pain.
He came for those who aren’t in good physical or mental health.
He came for those who move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food.
He came for the city executive, those who are engaged in manual labour, the casual worker or even those without employment.
He came for those who are dazzlingly skilled in any field.
He came for those who have stopped functioning and abandoned their dreams.
He came for those who think their okey-dokey.
He came for anyone and everyone.
Jesus lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death - and the worst kind of death at that - a crucifixion.
He died, to demonstrate how much God loves us, and to give everyone the freedom to receive for themselves - the sureness that our sins are forgiven.
if we acknowledge our sins, and change our wrongdoings, He won’t let us down; He’ll be true to His word. He’ll forgive our sins and clear us of all charges.
Because of what Jesus did, He shows us how much God loves us.
But hey, the story of the life of Jesus doesn’t finish there!
After His death; on the third day, He rose again.
Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. If we believe in Him, even though we may die, we shall live.

Who is God?Posted on August 3rd, 2009
__”Go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:
We at Newday-Prince strongly believe that our God is very, very important, He is central to our Christian walk and faith.

What is Communion?Posted on November 17th, 2008
“Jesus, on the night of his betrayal, took bread. Having given thanks, He broke it and said, This is my body, broken for you. Do this to remember me. After supper, he did the same thing with the cup: This cup is my blood, my new covenant with you. Each time you drink this cup, remember me.” [1 Corinthians 11]
We at Newday-Prince strongly believe in communion as being very important, and central to our Christian walk and faith.
Why?
Because the purpose of communion is for us to remember that Jesus died for us, by being subjected to death on a cross.
His sacrificial love bought our freedom.
What does communion mean?
Communion is also known as “The Lord’s Supper” or “Breaking of Bread.”
For some, it is a meal shared as a sign of love and fellowship.
What’s the significance of bread & wine?
The bread represents the body of Jesus - broken for us as punishment for our sin.
The wine represents the blood of Jesus - shed for us so that we can have a new relationship with God.
The Greek for the word “koinonia” embraces concepts of community, communion, joint participation, sharing and intimacy.
Who can share in communion?
Anyone who has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour can share in communion.
Today, the prerequisite for us as Christians, is to examine our motives, test our heart, and come to this meal with respect.

What is Baptism?Posted on November 17th, 2008
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [Matthew 28.]
We at Newday-Prince strongly believe in water baptism as being very important, and central to our Christian walk and faith.
Why?
Because the Lord Jesus Christ has commanded it - and, because it is a joy to follow our Lord’s example.
In the eyes of the world, baptism is the hallmark of a Christian.
What does baptism mean?
Baptism represents the burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is also an outward expression of having a changed heart and life - the old life is gone, a new life begins to flourish.
What’s the significance of immersion?
Every baptism in the New Testament was by immersion.
The Greek for the word “baptizo” means to immerse, plunge, dip, or bury in water.
[This Greek word rules out "sprinkling!"]
Who can be baptized?
Everyone who has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour can be baptized.
Today, if you have not yet been baptised by full immersion as our Lord Jesus commands, what’s stopping you?
