Well into 2026
We are now well into 2026 and with a blink of an eye, the U.S has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Who is next? Maybe Cuba, Mexico or Greenland. God’s prophetic timeline has sped up and thus we need to be cognizant of how global affairs are unfolding. Likewise we too can lose our finances, material property, our soul or life if we are not vigilant. The black horse of the apocalypse is just a few years away. The western world is broke and hence resorting to military force to seize natural resources from other countries. Maduro had planned to sell Venezuelan oil on a basket of BRICS currency instead of the Petrodollar which would have nailed the U.S currency.
The Caribbean may seem distant from us, but we ourselves are not far from potential strife with racial politics rearing its ugly head, again & again, in Malaysia. I was only 4 months old when May13 racial riots flared up in KL and my panicky parents hid me in dad’s hometown in Hulu Langat. Our material wealth can vanish anytime so it is best to put our trust in God rather than material wealth. Naked we come, naked we go, for there are no pockets in a shroud (生不带来，死不带去).
PLANNING
I didn’t go anywhere during the holidays except spent quality in my study and my prayer closet. I had sat down and set my personal goals, my business goals and how I plan to finance them. The word “plan” is mentioned 205 times in the Bible, so planning must be important. We do our best to listen and discern His voice as we plan, as biblical planning recognizes the role of God to empower the plans. "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps" (Proverbs 16:9).
"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty" (Proverbs 21:5)
Over the years God has gradually stripped me the hindrances that kept me from moving forward (Hebrews 12:1). Yes it is time to streamline our focus and energy for the task ahead, getting rid of things that don’t serve us. Meanwhile we need a balanced perspective on matters concerning our lives, with a considered view of future goals.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us (Hebrews 12:1)
One’s future goals is not about rigid control but about purposeful, prayerful, and diligent stewardship of one's gifts and time, surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit and the overarching purpose of God's kingdom. I am over many years learning to yield to His will, instead of stubbornly following my own desires, and to surrender my life completely to Him
BE CONFIDENT
Philippians 1:6 reads "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (NIV) – God's work in you is reliable.
For those who trust God’s leading we are assured that He will not fail us. I look forward to the road ahead – my new FreshGrab retail shop which may be the first of many, the Regenerative Medicine business in Shanghai/GZ/Shenzhen, RW, Fussy eater project, etc.
"But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him" (NIV) Jeremiah 17:7. Trusting God brings blessing and confidence. Amen!
See you at the TOP ya!
