Happy 1st Anniversary!


In 5 days' time, it will be the first anniversary of the launch of the Anointed Sermons podcast on iTunes.

And what better way to celebrate it than by God showering his unmerited favour upon it!!!


I was checking out the statistics and noticed that there has been a sudden exponential spike in the number of sermon downloads.  The month of Dec 2012 is not over, and there is already more than 3,500.

When the podcast was first launched on 2 Jan 2012, there was about 1,000 downloads that month.  It peaked to about 1,500 in April 2012, and therefter hovered around the 700 level.

Just a bit of background for those who may not know about Rev Reuben.  He was 5 years with Paya Lebar Methodist Church (PLMC) as her youth pastor, from 1 August 2007 to 31 July 2012.  He was transferred back to his home church Toa Payoh Methodist Church (TPMC) effective 1 August 2012.

PLMC has a membership of about 2,500.  TPMC has about 800 members.  The number of downloads this month has exceeded the combined memberships, which would indicate that the audience for his podcast has gone beyond that.

Because his sermons are focused purely on Jesus and His finished work, God is prospering his ministry.  Do we have another Ps Joseph Prince in the making?  Why not? :-D

Both of them preach without having to refer to any printouts or notes, which means that the Holy Spirit is the One giving them the utterance and they preach sincerely from the heart.

Ps Prince's church started with just 200 in the early 1990s and have exploded to more than 30,000.

Sure am looking forward to the day when Rev Reuben preaches to tens of thousands.  Amen?

Meanwhile, Happy 1st Anniversary!
