HOW CAN YOU FEED A LARGE CROWD?

Matthew 14: 14-21 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some…

TRUTH vs. FACT

FACTS are important. That is why we seek more FACTS. Without them, it will be hard to make decisions. The bible talks about Abraham whom God acknowledged as righteous because he believed the TRUTH, in God and His promises. But Abraham did not just believe blindly. He acknowledged the FACTS. God told him that he…

Walking on the Water

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from…

Understanding Money

Money is what we receive in exchange for the value we give. It is also what we accumulate if we know how to save, manage and invest what we earn. Thus, money is a means of exchange and a store of value. It does not have any intrinsic value. It has value only because of…

Plan with FAITH

During the early years of my freelancing, my wife and I did not plan our finances. We had a common account where I deposited my earnings, from which she drew her household expenses. In the same way, from the same pot, I also drew for my needs to cover gasoline, maintenance, business expenses, etc. We…

Curse or Blessing?

When I was young, stories of stragglers would sometimes hug newspaper headlines. To me, they were both amusing and weird. Stragglers are Japanese soldiers who were still hiding in Philippine jungles, when the second world war was already over, thinking that the war was still going on. For them, their surroundings did not change, and…

Do you see God’s purpose for your life?

I want to have God’s purpose in my life, prosper and be successful. But I don’t look like a candidate for that sort of thing. I am a mere call center employee, trying to earn enough for my family. I ride the MRT early in the morning and catch a ride going home. My days…

Birds, Bees, Butterflies, Trees and Flowers

“Therefore, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly…

Zero Sum Game VS Abundance Mentality

Zero Sum Game theory is based on the principle that resources are like a pizza pie with only a limited number of pieces. This is a game theory and obviously it works like a game. For one to win, he must beat the other party. There can be no two winners. If I get a…

VANTAGE POINT

I once heard of an Indian folklore about six blind men who heard of an animal called an elephant but did not know how one looks like. To find out, each of them touched the creature. Each one of them gave a different description. The one who touched its trunk said it is like a…

Read Luke 5:1-11 v3: Jesus climbed into the boat belonging to Simon Peter and asked him, “Let me use your boat. Push it off a short distance away from the shore so I can speak to the crowds. Many lessons can be learned from this story: Jesus wants to use our business as a platform.…

BUSINESS MUST MAKE MONEY

As a financial consultant, I have encountered people who say that they want to go into business, but don’t want to make too much money. This may sound absurd but true. Some people feel guilty when they make too much money. This attitude can elicit praise from people who are looking for altruism which is…
