Transforming Perspectives |Do you believe God's power correlates to some sort of magnitude of force? Certainly however more so, Scriptures exposit the power of God being evident of the character of believers having been tempered as steel, becoming as pure gold.Many being unlearned pray for more of God's power, believing it as proof of Faith. Apostle Paul, exhorts in the letters written to the Corinthians of the transformative evidence of the power of God being relatable to spiritual maturing of believers becoming strengthened by the Spirit of God to withstand suffering, trials and tribulations. Elijah, the Prophet performed a powerful manifestation over pagan gods, then became fearful for his life and cried out to God who spoke of the efficacy of power as of a still quiet voice. God's wisdom pertaining to power is knowing when and how to respond in every circumstance, learning the power of listening, slow to speak, not easily offended, not easily angered, and being quick to forgive our offenders. Notably, as Jesus withstanding false accusers without speaking a word.Also, as one of the prophets spoke of the visible workings of the power of God, “It is not by power, nor might but by my spirit, says the Lord.” Therefore, everyone can become more than conquerers in every aspect of life through Jesus Christ.Zechariah 4:6 - Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.Read, Pray and Study - Ist Corinthians Chapter 3.

Transforming Perspectives | Are you aware of the biblical distinctions of Life? Its purposes today, life as a new creation by faith in Jesus Christ or life after death and the expectation or hope of life in heaven. Scriptures are specific whenever referring to Life, so that everyone will understand God's desires for creating mankind, and the heavens and the earth. In the beginning of life, man was given a charge, meaning a task to take care or obtain dominion over the things on earth. However, God's mercies intervening on man's behalf purposed to reconcile man back to his sovereign will. In doing, God decreed the Way for mankind to obtain a new life, as a new creation by faith in Jesus Christ.The new life is inclusive of the promise of salvation in Jesus Christ. Wherein, a believer enters eternal life, a destination, dwelling under the rule and order of eternal God, not confined to any chronological timing of beginnings or ending. Distinctively, Everlasting Life is a condition as believers being transformed as a new creation, having no ending. Resurrection Life is a state of being whenever a believer has passes (dies) from this life yet remains or sleep until a designated time in the end with which a second death has no power.Pray, Read and Study : 2nd Corinthians Chapter 5; the Gospel According to John Chapter 5, and the Book of Revelation Chapter 20 verse 6.Thank you for subscribing and listening to our Podcast's Episodes!

On the Wide World segment hosted by Saturday Morning Show's Glenn van Zutphen get ready to rethink what luxury travel means in 2025. Dr. Guy Llewellyn, EHL Singapore on how luxury travel is undergoing a profound transformation. In this episode, Dr. Llewellyn explores the rise of "silent luxury"—the newest contradiction in the world of upscale escape. For more established travelers, gone are the days of blingy resorts and jet-set Instagram check-ins. Today’s more sophisticated traveler seeks slow moments, secret spots, and soul-stirring experiences that don’t need a selfie filter. We consider how luxury is being redefined by restraint, authenticity, and intention: think private temple tours instead of velvet ropes, hidden food festivals over Michelin white tablecloths, and a detox from social media instead of posting every sunset. Even sustainability is having its glam moment. Dr. Llewellyn’s gives us a business class seat in the next era of high-end, low-noise adventures as we explore why the quietest journeys may now speak the loudest.

On our Singapore Home Brew segment on the Saturday Mornings Show hosted by Glenn van Zutphen: In this episode, we delve into Singapore’s pivotal role in the global fight against Alzheimer’s disease, spotlighting the recent approval of LEQEMBI® by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority. Clinically proven to slow disease progression in early-stage patients, LEQEMBI® is a huge leap forward for treating symptoms and modifying the course of the disease in some patients. This milestone comes as more than 92,000 people in Singapore currently live with dementia, a number expected to rise sharply in the coming years. As the only Southeast Asian site in the international clinical trial, National University Hospital of Singapore played a key part in this breakthrough, with promising results confirmed in the Asian sub-analysis. Joining us to unpack this development are two leading voices in neurology and aging: Professor Christopher Chen, Visiting Consultant at National University Hospital and Director of the Memory, Ageing and Cognition Centre, and Associate Professor Adeline Ng, Senior Consultant in Neurology at the National Neuroscience Institute. They offer insights not just from a medical perspective, but also from the institutional frontlines where science meets healthcare policy and patient care.
