Jehovah Jireh


Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Hi its me again!!!
Hahah I would like to share with you how God has blessed my life. Just a brieft background...
I graduated from NTU with a 2nd Class Honors in Chemical Engineering. Right after I graduated, I enrolled myself into SOT in 2008. This was a challenging time for me as I had to give tuition to sustain m SOT school fees and also to give to building fund. As such I had to take on 4 tuition jobs to support myself. That time I made a faith pledge of $XXXX.(For more details pls contact me!=p) I began giving and giving, and without realizing I actually exceeded my pledge amount. This was the time when the financial crisis hits hard at the world economy. As such, right after SOT, jobs were scarce and most of my friends who were chemical engineers, had already gotten a stable job of monthly income of at least $3000. It was totally demoralizing to find myself out of jobs for a long time. Finally I managed to find a job as a sales engineer after 5 long months of praying and waiting. Though this new job I took on wasn't what I wanted to work and it pays fairly low for a graduate, it was a platform for God's miracle to take place.
Within 6months, I was headhunted by another sales company, and I was blessed with the following:
1. My Current company paid for all the my remaning days of notice which I need to serve in my old company, just so that I can start work immediately. Its close to $2000
2. There was a immediate pay increment of 50% (inclusive of transport allowance)
3. In less than a month, I was blessed with a Car, Honda Jazz worth $ 49 000. (My dad paid in full, which I am paying him monthly)
4. 4 months later I was confirmed, there was a 10% increment in my pay
5. In 2009, I became the one of the few youngest sales person that reach my sales target
6. In 2010, the blessings of God just keep pouring. In the month of March I close a sales of $300K.
7. In less than 4 months, I already achieve more than half the sales target for the yr 2010. Because of this overachieving sales, I received a recognition from the company. In fact, I am the only sales person and in fact the youngest sales person that consecutive hit 2 quarterly targets.
8. I was also given overseas exposure for trainings and conferences in this 1.5 years
9. My boss hinted that in 2011, I will be taking on an inspiring role, to lead someone. I will be under a probation for a yr, and if I pass this probation, I will be officially a team leader.
10. I managed to exceed my yearly target by 4%!!
In the midst of the job change, the transitions, God has also used me as a cell group leader. I remember Him placing an impression upon me, saying that "If I take care of His house, He will build my house". God has shown Himself really faithful as we put God first He will really make all grace abound towards us. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above what we can think or imagine.

He is Jehovah Jireh. When you sow, you shall surely reap!

Work






2010 has been a really exciting year when there was really UPs and really DOWN times in my life. The transtitions had caused me to be a tougher person on the inside.

I learnt that people may not be as simple as what they seemed to be, through the departure of some. I also learnt that there are different style of leadership, but having to adapt to the different ones was the main challenge had faced last year. There were times I cried in the office, which left Boss stranded and helpless. Afterall he does get a shock out of his life to see his colleague break down.
Thank God for Buddy, Ching Yee, Des, Chris, SH, and Wati. Esp Chris, who gave me so much trust and always believing in me despite the silly mistakes I made. He is one of the nicest, funniest boss I ever come across. Thank you for being so bold in taking up the challenge as our ASM, without you, I won't be who I am today! You taught me to learn to be composed, to be rational and to be a thinker. You gave me a chance to walk on water, step on uncomfortable zones, and to stretch.
SH, thank you for being a friend, a boss and a leader. You are truly inspiring! You demostrated what it means to be physically being there for someone. I am amazed.
Sis, you are the most courageous person I deemed in the company. I am so encouraged to see you soar high!
Julian, thank you for always being here for me when everything went wrong.
Wati, I love you! Thank you for being a listening ear!
Des, thank you for being a mentor, a brother, an encourager who runs along side with me. If there is a role for a coach, I bet you will be the Best for one!
May 2011 be the best year yet

The Pillars of the House











The best leaders in town!

Special thanks to Yi Lun, Zhen, Pei Yun, Jessica, Sarah, Jing, Cindy, Jasmine, Pris, Elaine Buddy, James and Cassie dearie whom I can freely pour my heart to, and you are always so encouraging and so spiritual :) I got so much to learn from you all. Thank you for loving God and people so much that your life is my inspiration! Thank you for hearing me out all the time! I really grew because you have sowed into my life.
Zhen and Lun, thank you for always believing in me. I am who I am because of what you have done in my life. I love you!

Reviewing 2010- W531

Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”











I had decided to share about this First!
Thank you for giving me a chance to be your leader, my dearest W531. I guess your gentleness has really made me great. I guess you guys really taught me how to love, how to give, how to not give up, how to love God.. You are just simply amazing! You are the strength when I felt like giving up; the pair of wings when I felt that I can't walk any more. Thank you for always being here for me through my ups and my downs. You see me through. Ling, Bel, Stan, Grace, Hui Wen, Weekiat, Samuel, Jason, Kun Wu, Ace, Chaofan, Hanliang, Samuel Ecc, Mathew, Jireh, Zhi Hao, Wei Jie, Nat, Zhi Jiang, Megan... :) Thank you for accepting me who I am, for making up for all the weaknesses in me, for being here for me. 2010 had been a year which I have been made stronger because of you!

A brand New Year!







Wow.. Its 6am on the Second day of CNY 2011.

This is a website that I have not visited for a year! To be exact, live updating has already halted for 3 years!!!! Goodness.... Look at how time has flown. To tell the truth, staring at this blank space, I have not yet decided what to type about. Updates about my life? My dreams and desire for 2011? Wouldn't it be easier with a "Pls look at VCR" then all will know what has gone past for this year of 2010! haha. Prob just a lazy man's comments.

2010....
It really has been a year that zoomed past in a split second. It seems like just yesterday when we were celebrating 2010 cny!

I guess let's segreggate it into the 4 main areas of my life: Family, Work, Ministry, Relationship

Family
A year I had a lot of surprises from my dearests, namely: Dad, Mum, Ah Lu, Ah mei, not forgetting my Ah Ma.
Daddy & Mummy really spurged their love on me, with the daily morning calls, the morning chats in my room, the breakfasts prepared, their smses, the breakfast times, their presents, their blessings.... I just am so thankful and blessed to have the priceless possessions like them. I guess without their support, I would have crashed somewhere. Not forgetting my intercessor, Ah Lu. I just wanna say I love you! You are the Best in the Universe! I love the midnight chats, and you always coming to "nua" on my bed, and hearing my woes daily! My sis has always been a very cute character in my life, who never fails to bring me back to my adolescence, and always teach me to have the simplicity of life. I love you dearie. She is like an angel! My Grandma is a strong and mighty woman, who is so adorable and so caring! I have one more important person to mention, that is my Aunty. She is simply just the greatest helper I have. She never fails to teach me what is servanthood, what is humility. Loves*
