God’s faithfulness is not always seen in the moment — but it is always revealed in His timing. My following MMC story is a powerful example of how God completes what He begins, even when we ourselves forget the very things He started. Yesterday I received an email notification that my Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) registration was approved by the committee. 

I studied in a medical school from 1987-1992. Then there was only one (1) medical school for the entire state of Western Australia. One hundred and twenty (120) slots each academic year, and after 6 years of studies, one hundred (100) of us graduated.

SEED PLANTED

In 1993, I worked as a houseman in various Perth hospitals. In January 1994 I had come home to KL for a week to see my parents and by-the-way filed in my MMC registration and totally forgotten about it for three (3) decades.  Those days there was no internet to check. After the week back in KL, I went back to Perth to work as a Medical Officer.

Life took me back to Perth. I moved on without knowing the MMC registration was approved. I worked. Seasons changed. And like many of us, I forgot the seed entirely. Yet God did not forget. What we leave behind,  He carries forward. What slips from our memory remains fully intact in His divine timeline.

A DIVINE REMINDER

Fast forward 32 years. My work situation changed. 

Circumstances forced me to reconsider my MMC registration and getting my Annual Practising Certificate (APC). But it wasn’t just circumstance — it was the prompting of the Lord that I checked the internet and found my MMC registration number online from 32 years ago which shocked me.

The Holy Spirit brought something back to my remembrance that I had completely forgotten. So I went to MMC to check. They told me I had applied in 1994 which I had totally forgotten. They asked me to re-register which I did on August 17, 2026.  Not a coincidence. Not luck. Not administrative chance.

It was God saying:

“I have not forgotten what you entrusted to Me.”

This is the faithfulness of God — He brings back what He planted, even when decades have passed.

RESTORATION

And then — the email.

My MMC full registration is approved.

Not a new blessing.
Not a sudden miracle.
But the completion of something God began 32 years earlier.

This is the faithfulness of God:

• He finishes what He starts.
• He preserves what we forget.
• He aligns circumstances to His timing.
• He brings us back to the path He prepared long ago.

God’s promises do not expire. His plans do not dissolve. His timing is perfect.

What This Testimony Teaches

Your journey reveals several truths about God’s faithfulness:

1. God remembers what we forget

Even when decades pass, His plans remain intact.

2. God’s timing is perfect

He brings things to completion when the season is right.

3. God prepares the future long before we reach it

My 1994 seed was a provision for 2026.

4. God guides through promptings

The Holy Spirit nudged me at the exact moment I needed to act.

5. God’s faithfulness is personal

Not general, not theoretical — but tailored to my life.

A Closing Reflection

The MMC approval is more than a professional milestone.
It is a spiritual marker — a reminder that God has been walking with me since 1994, preparing my steps, preserving my future, and fulfilling His promises.

My testimony declares:

“Great is Thy faithfulness — yesterday, today, and forever.”

I have reframed myself from a sales representative in Abbott and supplements (placenta) expert, to a longevity advocate and soon a wellness entrepreneur.  

Transformation is about changing who you are at the core — your mindset, values, or habits. It often comes from deep reflection, crisis, or intentional reinvention. I have had my share of crisis which led me to evolve to my present day self. 

Sure there are many regrets in my journey, many lingering questions like should I have done the compulsory 3 years government service to get my Annual Practising License back in 1994? But life is full of endless possibilities and destiny had made its turn. But I believe all my experiences, even failures are part of my transformation journey. So none of the years were wasted. Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Transformation in personal development mirrors this — it’s not just about skills, but about becoming a new creation in thought and identity.

Doing more of the same

I see some doing more of the same, which builds consistency, which I believe is good as mastery of any skill comes from repetition – be it a surgical procedure, a language,  or selling a product. Luke 9:23 calls us to “take up our cross daily.” That’s repetition — the staircase of consistent obedience and practice.

However, there is a plateau risk as without transformation, you may hit ceilings where effort alone no longer yields growth. The art of growth is knowing when you need a radical reinvention versus when you need consistent discipline.

Transformation sets the direction, it changes your trajectory; repetition provides the fuel. Transformation is God reshaping your skill sets and vision, while consistency is your daily walk with Him. Together, they create a rhythm of growth that is both personal and spiritual.

I am not afraid of isolation, failure or shame; because I have already lived there and survived it. I have become stronger not because I have never broken down or fallen to the bottom. In fact quite the opposite. 

I quietly healed, completely alone- with no rage, no chaos, no violence. Life took me apart, drove me to a corner and reduced me to my lowest terms. Broke with no direction. I decided to rebuild myself when God opened the door in 2020, brick-by-brick with nobody coming to save me except the Lord.

I don’t need anyone to believe in me, believe in my dreams. I don’t need anyone to validate my pain nor applause my progress. I thank God for this kind of refining as it can’t be taught in a class or read from books, but only forged in isolation, brokenness, when nobody understands the pain and nor see my hidden tears.

I will keep rebuilding, stop chasing, stop explaining myself to people who already decided not to understand or believe where I am going. I may not be the ready-made thing you are looking for as God is still molding and building me. I have learnt to stop searching for completion in another person, as it is only found within myself. I don’t need anyone’s approval as God has already approved of me. Instead I will guard my peace and rebuild.

When man says it is over that is when God takes over. Life stripped me down to nothing, then I looked at the truth about myself, sucked out the marrow of life, and knew that is a journey I had to go through. I was thrown to the very bottom so hard that I couldn’t recognize myself down there, till the Lord gave me the strength to claw my way up. 

When life fell apart and every single person quietly disappeared while I was facing multiple legal actions in court for debts, I learnt that that the only person I couldn’t abandon was myself. Even in the pit I knew God will never abandon me. I may be in the pit but my mind was on the palace. Going forward, I now carry a clarity, a considered view of future goals which cannot be faked, cannot be taught. I will live deliberately, God-reliant, grounded in way no one needs to understand.

Bryan Johnson (the world's most famous biohacker), the self-acclaimed most tested; most bio-measured man on earth revealed that he is suffering from “Autoimmune Gastritis” for which there is no cure.  In his own word his stomach is eating itself.

So the man in his own words say that we may be the generation that won’t see death is also going to die like all of us.  The idea of “Don’t Die” is in contrast to the natural course that Scripture describes.

Bryan conducting his "Don't Die" summit

I was sad to hear of his diagnosis as I am an admirer of Bryan Johnson, but always felt in my heart that God’s word remains despite men’s attempt to control its own destiny and bypass the natural order that God had placed. God specifically said that our years shall be 120. 

I am all for bio-hacking to enhance longevity and increase health span. It is wonderful that biohacking can enhance our health for a time, but we can’t escape the reality that we live in a world that’s subject to decay. The Bible talks about “bondage to decay” in Romans 8 that the whole creation yearns to be delivered from. Our ultimate hope for true enduring life is found in Christ Jesus, not in human efforts or the advancement of longevity science. 

Modern day biohacking no doubt can improve lives and make us healthier, but to defy death is questionable. It is a modern day attempt to push human limits in the same way the Tower of Babel aimed to reach heaven.  So let's pray for Bryan's health, for him to know the Lord, and his salvation.

When will our body not perish?

When Jesus returns our earthly bodies will come to an end, instead we will receive new, imperishable bodies that are free from death, sickness and decay (2 Corinthians 5:1-10) - moving from a mortal state to an eternal one.
