00:00:02 hi um morning everyone today's scripture reading is taken from 1 John chapter 1 verse 5 to10 this is the message we have heard from him and declare to you God is light in him there is no Darkness at all if we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness we lie and do not leave out the truth but if we walked in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his son purifies us from all from our sin if we claim to be without sin we deceive
00:00:34 ourself and the truth is not in us if we confess our sin he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sin and purify us from all unrighteousness if we claim we have not sinned we make him out to be a liar and his will is not in us this is the word of the Lord hi good morning FBC okay nice to see all of you here uh let's uh start with a word of prayer father we thank you for bringing us here together to listen to your word and to Worship You Lord we thank you for this opportunity to be able to call you
00:01:31 as our father as our God lord and Lord I pray that you speak with us now speak to us open our eyes to hear open our hearts to really to understand and hear from you and remove any filters we have any preconceptions we have in things help us to be humble and pray that you speak through me as well and please help me as well to be able to understand and apply this into my own life as well and for the rest of the members to their own lives as well in Jesus name we pray amen okay today what we are be going to be go
00:02:02 through going through is following from what uh William uh was sharing last week 1 John uh chapter 1 and last week when William was sharing about the sermon the sermon was about having fellowship with God he shared that the purpose of having fellowship with go with God was actually to have joy This Joy from God that will really change your life forever so if you want this Joy listen up for this uh second part of it to hear how do you get this Joy the passage continues at verse 5 as Florence was sharing just now this is a
00:02:41 message we have heard from him and declared to you God is light in him there is no Darkness at all if we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness we lie and do not leave out the truth first thing to know is if you want to have this Joy John says that it is not for you to find Joy your own way but find out what God is saying this is a message we have heard from him not any message but message from God himself okay and declare to everybody who's listening God is light in him there is
00:03:17 no Darkness at all God is holy God is perfect in him there's no imperfection there's no sin there's no Darkness at all if we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the Darkness we lie and do not live Our Truth which means if we say that we are of God we have fellowship with him we are members of ABC we are Christians we are not supposed to be walking in darkness so all of us over here as Christians we kind of understand that already we understand that Christians we become Christians because we know we have
00:03:49 sinned and therefore we become Christian and so we should be okay right yes or no depends so I think most of us will say yeah I think I'm quite okay deep down in your hearts I think you you think you'll be quite okay I don't to be very stressed now right you think actually I'm quite okay I know what sins are I avoid them in my life the things that you know bad people do that won't do and so I think I'm quite all right so what I share is Christians recognize and apprehend Darkness to a certain extent
00:04:19 we all can do that we all been taught to do that as well and so I'm going to ask you a few questions here now uh many of you here would have uh mothers or maybe some of you are looking for boyfriend and future husband so I ask you who's the ideal Bachelor over here maybe choose a boyfriend for your for your daughter next time do you want this guy Roger he is a very rich man he prly booked for Goldman Sachs uh now he's been indicted going to jail he was involved in MD m one MDB case you want him no next guy this is Richard huckle
00:05:00 he is a Christian or rather he goes to church he serves in the Sunday School Ministry he's being implicated for 71 counts of sexual offenses against children anyone wants no right last one this is sayana kimpa he's a drug lord anyone want him no right I think all Christians will say no these are all people from the darkness we will not want to be associate with him we do not associate with such people and we know they are sinners right this is what say and so we also exclude all other people uh when we say what is Darkness I think
00:05:35 all of us we understand Darkness to a certain way we said that down is what well a Christian should not smoke should not swear can be a womanizer no pornography no bribing no drugs no abusing the wife uh no violence right correct I think this is kind of what we understand and so these are things that we understand we know already but let me ask how about this guy do you think this is a good guy or not so this is this ideal Bachelor he's 30 years 32 years old top racing agent in K okay he's very successful uh his
00:06:12 agency is doing really really well and he wants to he has Big Dreams to expand his business across Asia not just in K not just in pank he wants to grow across the whole Asia he likes to travel the world for photography so we can take nice photos for you ladies I know you like that right he owns three sports cars so when you go out people will look at you right and more than that he's a godly man you know instead of 10% offering he gives 15% offering to the church okay 15% offering and his monthly
00:06:42 income for 250,000 a month okay or not ah see everybody says okay right okay really this pass really want to contact or not right you want to cont right now let me ask this question what is if what if I tell you this person at the same time he gets his sales by any means necessary now I got a chat with chansen just now before we started asked what are the things that sales people some property agents that do that actually unscrupulous nowadays and he share a few things with me right so how does it get
00:07:21 sales unnecessary why does it get so much sales so how does it is if he wants to sell properties in one area he just post fake photos he bought properties recently you can't understand they post fake photos everywhere so when you call they show you very beautiful photos extremely dir cheap price when you call you know what's the answer so already so he got a contact already what do you want to buy then he got a contact he can sell to you and then if you say oh you want to buy that unique in this Tana you know what it
00:07:50 does he has friends who are actually um people who hack data from the government all that they already become a business you can actually go online and and buy data this unit what's the phone number of the owner you can get it you can pay for it already so can get all this and therefore it can close any deals he wants okay so he can do it and therefore he can get 250,000 ring a month easily he ask him he said that's the rule of the game everybody in property does it according to him next thing he teaches his uh team
00:08:22 members to game the banking system system as well so when the person want to buy property he doesn't ask you to buy one he say this property is so good this are is so good don't buy one you buy five okay how to buy five you cheat the banking system when you submit the the bank loan application right you submit five to five different banks together SEO Secrets cannot register so fast so can get approved five banks all together if you've been in the industry long enough you look look for properties you
00:08:52 heard people telling you all this already okay this is called loan compression so he teaches you all these things and his success is in his self is his business he his self is in his business number four he has so much time to travel taking photography everywhere but has no time to serve in church why because he give 15% to church really right he's doing so well already number five he has money to buy cars but has no money to pay extra overtime to his admin because a new ruling over time is actually official is actually
00:09:27 compulsory so you know how to get over it you tell them you do over time on voluntary basis okay but you get the work done okay you voluntar do it but you get the work done no extra over time for you six it gives the church but it doesn't give to the poor why because God says give to church man and some of people on the street side you don't know whether they're really truly Beggars or not right so give to church enough really so do you think he's a good guy or not still want is come there uh still
00:10:01 can so but I want to share you this number one caveat my wife must give caveat this is just an example there are a lot of good property agents out there right there a lot of good property agents out there please do not go and attack all of them there are a lot of good people out there right if you don't know you come to FBC us around with good people here right right but what I want to share you is this a lot of times we as Christians we are desensitized to s siny we understand sin to be a certain
00:10:34 we draw a box and sin these are the sins that very prevent people all can see it and therefore these are things that we are very careful about but things that are not so known to men people don't really talk about or know about we just kind ignore it so this is what dor say say a man may be greedy and selfish spiteful cruel jealous and unjust violent and brutal grasping unscrupulous and liar stubborn and arrogant stupid morals and de to every noble Instinct and still we are ready to say of him that he is not an immoral man why
00:11:11 because in the old days Christians only care about one thing are you sexually promiscuous or not are you a person that actually uh do you actually have this uh sin in sex or not if you don't have it everything else goes it's okay so Christians a lot of times for our current Society is we are desensitized to sin and darkness now if you still don't understand what I'm trying to tell you about this Darkness uh that that the text is talking about look at this way if your daughter brings a boyfriend home and he
00:11:46 drives this car and he tells you that Mommy we're getting married already will you say okay or not okay seriously okay last time I was dating my wife you know what I drove I drove a proton isara the airor doesn't work one you know it wasn't easy right so I'm telling you it is something that is is not just us it's actually accepted in society we have certain standards we we understand things a certain way in the old days this is actually being called Thrifty the car is going the car looks perfectly
00:12:26 well I can drive around what's the problem with it right the there's nothing wrong with it but a lot of times we as Christians we have actually not understood one thing we are already living in darkness and we've embraced the darkness already but we don't know about it we've accepted certain standards and we say that these are things that's needed you know why in fact the whole economy runs on gluttony do say continues over here the glonous consumption of manufactured goods has become before the word the
00:12:59 prime Civic vir you expected to be gluttonous why because the machines can produce cheaply only if they produce in vast quantities in short if you do not buy if there are not enough people buying something the cost cannot be low the machines cannot be running okay because unless the machines can produce cheaply nobody can afford to keep them running and Because unless they are kept running millions of citizens will be thrown out of employment and the community will stuff which means the world that we're living in runs on this
00:13:28 Everybody Must consume if you you do not consume then there will not be business if there's no business there's no sales there's no salary and you get fired so how so why you see is the whole world that we are living in whether we know it or not we actually living in darkness in fact sin is legitimized in this world when you watch Netflix you don't realize it but it's actually encouraging SLO it's encouraging to just sit there and don't do anything don't care about anything just be lazy when you watch
00:13:55 Facebook how many times have you checked on your friends look at how their like and en you they get to go travel when am I going to travel okay maybe that maybe that or if you want a fling you want to have uh you know you just want to find a partner for a night uh go to Tinder you can get it so all these different things on on Twitter in the states is very famous people go and start arguing on Twitter in Malaysia it happens on Facebook and all these different things we have it runs on sin but this is what
00:14:29 we have accepted and when we look at it we say yeah it's okay we don't realize it but this is how the world is and so we all feel the impact of sin as well from the war in Ukraine covid Malaysians being on in on 1.4 trillion of death and the recent um flood in Sri muda as well can see that all these are the result of sin all these are the result of sin so the world that we living in first thing for us to know is this being a Christian doesn't mean that if you don't do these few things you don't drink you don't smoke
00:15:05 you don't do drugs you don't do pawn means you're a good person no what we are supposed to do is if you read the text later is to really understand and to repent of our sins all the time so the first point I have for you is this you and I have grown accustomed to Darkness in life we live in the darkness and we don't know what darkness is the story that Tim K sh was if you ask a sh if you ask a fish how is the water the young fish will say I don't know what what's water actually because you live
00:15:34 in water so long you don't even know what water is already that is what we have going through we live in darkness so long we don't even know what darkness is already just an example of Property agent I told you they wouldn't really know what is Darkness anymore certain things are just accepted in life this is how you do things in this industry this is how we do things and in every single industry in every single thing you do including parenting including schooling everything we do it has this efforts
00:16:01 inside has this Essence inside so we have to look at what we do every single day and really think is this something that we supposed to do not is this something accepted accepted to God not so what is solution what is a way what can we do next capitalism socialism communism all these don't work as all of you know it doesn't work and it continues to fail nowadays maybe you go and the Chinese way of doing things find ways to go to Zen and all that to try to find a way to uh become different or you use
00:16:36 technology can technology solve our problems of Darkness or can you go to Mars or not resolve this or maybe superpowers can handle it for us the key thing for you to see is all these solutions that the world throws at this the problem of the world is is this these are all in a viscious cycle we are in a Clos loop system for engineers you understand it's a close system what it means is basically everything that you see everything is happening is in a very close environment there's no exteral data there's no external input and so
00:17:10 whatever that you see inside will continue going on and on and on in fact all of these Solutions over here I'd like to highlight one for you to see which is the Chinese word over there those of you who who can understand Chinese who can read Chinese says understand it says Su ch this is what the and his people are say if you want to really have peace in the world first thing you do is you change yourself you become better then you deal with your house your household then you take care of the country then the whole
00:17:48 world but if you really read the passage it says how do you actually become better the answer is you need to change your character how can you change your character by getting knowledge and how do you get knowledge the answer they have is to explore what's happening in the world more understand more things but the challenge again is this you can read all you want out there in the world but if it's still within this Clos loot system there's nothing much you can do the solution we have is only this one
00:18:14 thing we need an other worldly solution we need external input in this Clos loot system to solve the solve our challenge of this darkness and over here the solution is in verse 5 and S this is the message we have heard from him and declared to you God says that if you want to resolve Darkness if you want to resolve this darkness in the world there's only one way to know that God is light he is the answer for everything not what we think but what God says is the way to solve it in verse seven but if we walk in the
00:18:50 light as he is in the light we fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his son pries us from all sin all means is if you want to resolve sin there's only one way you have to walk in the light as he is in the light and ask for God's forgiveness and for him to cleanse your sin we cannot save ourselves we cannot remove the sin that we all have we all understand this it means that the problems and challenges you face every day the pain that you go through the challenges that you have can
00:19:26 only be solved if you go to God and ask for his help that is the only way so the second point we have is God is a light that will drive away all Darkness you see a lot of times when it comes to Darkness we say that this is the world that we live in what can we do so we come to church we come to church then we serve in church we do our best in church but when we go out to the world we live as everybody does because it's not easy to live and swim against the tide it's never easy if you try to do that you find that it's very very
00:20:01 difficult but God is saying this not only can you live in the darkness because I'm here with you but because I'm here with you you can be involved in driving out the darkness as well from the world if God is with you you can be involved in driving out the darkness from the world as well so Point number three is we are to walk in the light we are to walk in the light how do you walk in the light verse 7 here says but if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with one another and
00:20:38 the blood of Jesus his son pufies us from all sin the point the key word I want to share with you is this when you walk in the light he is in the light and you fellowship with one another this one another is not between brothers and sisters based on text is actually about you and God when you walk with God you have fellowship with him you have fellowship with god fellow Fellowship gives us this idea of us singing songs together having meals together having a good time together but this word Fellowship is a word coinonia and this
00:21:09 word has a much deeper meaning Fellowship means in association with it means in participation with it means you are in partnership with God so imagine God being in partnership with you when you become a Christian when you call Jesus your savior when you go to him and when he cleanses you from a sin you are actually becoming to have partnership with him you have partnership with him in your entire life so imagine everything you're doing your business your work maybe you are a pharmacist or maybe you are a doctor and Jesus is
00:21:45 saying that I want to be in partner with you okay I want to partner with you in your work that is what it means and all the things you go through anything you go through I'm going through it together with you I'm in communion with you and I will do it together with you first point how do we walk in the light by being in Fellowship in partnership with God next one if we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us if we confess our sins he is faithful and just and we forgive us our
00:22:16 sins and purify us from all righteousness if we claim we have not sinned we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in Us in over here the key point for you to see is if you read the earlier text it says that we are not supposed to be living in darkness but why does it then say we need to confess our sins why do we confess our sins if we are not living in darkness the answer is Walking with God doesn't mean a life of perfection walking in the light Walking with God doesn't mean that you become a
00:22:47 sin immediately it just means that every single day you continuously repent of your sins when you do something wrong you repent every single day when you actually before sleep maybe you should think about what you have done is it the right thing should I change repentance is not just saying the siners prayer uh maybe before you have your communion or or whenever that you just free but from time to time you really think the word I said that day is it correct and not was I hurtful to my wife that day I is yes I'm
00:23:20 sorry and all the different things that we do was I actually dealing with my kids correctly or not was I right to my staff was I harsh to the church members that day when dealing with them is for us to consciously think and repent and that is the way we actually become a person that's walking in the light third Point how do you walk in the light if you look at 1 John 2: 9-1 it says anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the
00:23:58 light and there's nothing in them to make them stumble but anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness they do not know where they're going because the darkness has blinded them so what it means is is if you claim to be walking in light you should not be hating your brother or sister if you still hold grudges about people you still are angry at certain person you cannot let go you will not be in association with certain person you are not walking in the
00:24:29 light if you love your brother and sister you are walking in the light it means that God has a certain expectation of us when you walk in the light when you know Christ you will be able to love others why because the blood of Jesus has cleansed us from our sin if Jesus can die for us and given us everything what is a small little mistake that someone did for us so for us we should be able to live a life of love and change the way we actually act towards others now all these things I sh you over here is very a fairy I know that
00:25:07 okay it's it's basically Theory 0 101 Christian that all of you know this already okay walking in the light is number one living in partnership with God that God is being with you number two is not Perfection but continuous repentance and number three is living a life of love and all of us know this and therefore what I want to do next is actually not so much of a sermon but to share with you on how is this being applied how is this being lived out now um to find example to share with you on how people do this is not easy because
00:25:40 people generally don't share about what they've repented about in life cor so what I've taken the Liberty to do is to share with you my personal walk with you to let you see what I've done and um perhaps it can be uh blessing to you as well now kav I'm far from perfect I'm not a really good Christian myself as well but over here I try my best every single day to become better and to start off I want to share with you the first point to understand is you're not doing it alone you're doing it in partnership
00:26:11 with God and recently I attended this um Global Leadership Summit I saw Samuel over there and uh Idris Jala shared this very interesting point he asked this question how would you behave if Einstein leaves than you how would you act differently if Einstein the spirit of Einstein is in you when you go for exams will you be worried or not if you go to work and you're doing some very difficult things do you think your brain power will be not enough or not no right because Einstein lives in you or how will you live if Bruce Lee is
00:26:56 in you for ladies Bruce is in you when you go out and you walk around chid are you wor anymore anything becomes a weapon they can use right so can you imagine how would you live if you really believe that Christ lives in you the king of kings the Lord of lords the creator of the whole world the source of all energy is in you how will you really live if you really believe in that that is a key question to ask if you're really living and walking in the light and Christ is in you and you really really believe it the way you
00:27:39 live would be different when you walk in darkness on Monday when you go to work when you go home and deal with a kids that are naughty the way you behave the way you act will be totally different and so what I've done is I've actually gone through all this myself and I actually Ponder a lot and I want to share with you my personal walk you this is the company that I've been uh investing my time in for the past about six to seven years uh my company is called sales connection and this our raison datra raison datra basically
00:28:09 means our purpose of being and this is my personal Journey Sal connection is a company that is um in the software space we built software it's called SAS software as a service which means that you just need to download app we can use this system that we have and this system is meant for businesses to use we help companies to run more efficiently so to give you an idea what we do is this if you have salese Engineers technicians anyone that don't work in office or you have a lot of retail outlets everywhere you have a
00:28:42 problem the problem you have is you cannot manage your business very accurately we find that when it comes to business right if everyone is sitting in the same office you can easily manage it one communication is very easy just next to each other anything you don't know you just shout the person can actually answer and you can easily talk to each other but when you have a Workforce that's totally distributed some in KL some in pank maybe you maybe servicing airon elevators projectors compressors all
00:29:10 these different machines or even for some facilities different properties you cannot know for example if I ask you you have five Outlets how is Outlet number one doing you wouldn't know the answer you will WhatsApp the person hey how are you doing have you done all these things I asked you is a sop follow you have no way to keep track of it and so we found that this is a very good opportunity for us to join and when we actually started the business what I wanted to do was I wanted this I wanted to get
00:29:38 rich so five six years ago I decided that okay I found a good business opportunity I want to get rich already so I want to actually want to proide for a family now okay so everybody needs to Pro for the family so I want to proide for family and do something that actually I enjoy as well and we decided to explore and uh invest our time to to build this uh business uh this system for people to use and this industry we're in have a very uh challenging and interesting scenario the scenario is this the bosses are always very stressed
00:30:11 because they cannot get to know how the business is running the technicians Engineers are all outside running around doing a work but the quality is never good enough customers are always complaining saying that the work is not done not delivered on time and nobody knows what's really happening and so this a very Challenge and so they come to us and say that can you give me a solution the the solution we give them is basically end to end solution from the minute the sales comes in all the way until having
00:30:40 a contract signing a contract installing equipment testing it doing preventive maintenance uh breakdown service all the way until at the end of it we put in solution systems to make sure that all of the processes are taken care of and the quality is followed that's the reason why I'm Shing this to you okay just listen up over here and so why is this important to them is because fi service dictates customer lifetime value which means this if you do not give a good service to your customer your customer will leave they go to somewhere
00:31:13 else so it's very important that they give a good service to their customers and so what we have done in essence is to provide a business whereby we can help the bosses to earn more money make sure that all the employees are working very hard but my question question to you is this if this is I'm what I'm going to do for the rest of my life is this living enough for my neighbor is helping my is helping employees becoming productive loving enough to my neighbor if all I do for my entire life is helping other businesses to become
00:31:51 more productive more efficient is it something that is good enough and a question I ask myself because when the business does well people come to me ask hey can you do this for me or no can you do this also they ask for more and more things ways to make the business better and better which is all good which is something we do as well but as a Christian when you step take a step back and really ask yourself is this what God wants me to do is this all that God wants me to do the answer I have is this I don't think my
00:32:20 life is just to do this just to make money and make business more efficient really is this really following Jesus and as I look at it and I try to repent and think about my own life I my my answer is that I don't think this is really what God wants me to do only because in Matthew 15:16 over here says let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven which means if you see very carefully what's the difference between light and darkness the biggest difference between
00:32:55 light and darkness is the light is different light is very very different and Christians are called to be different we called to be not just excellent we called to be different I'm going to repeat this again because I think a lot of people don't understand this you are not called to Jus be a very good employee you're called to be a different employee when you're out there working when you're out there in school you are supposed to be different you do things that other people not do because your
00:33:23 bottom line is different because your end goal is different from others so we are called to be different so what we did was we started to try to understand a bit more why are businesses not efficient why are employees not motivated to work and we ask these technicians and say hey why your boss ask you to go and service five machines every day but you only service four why when they ask you to follow sop and do 10 things you always only do three and you leave the answer comcept is very simple if I do five or do four what's
00:33:57 the difference my boss will never say thank you also right whether I do 10 or do three my boss will not know one you know actually my boss will not have the time to go and check the machine open and see whether I did 10 or three there's no way for them to do it on right and by the way do you know who gets all the promotion that guy who is very good at talking that guy gets all the promotion me I'm so quiet I don't get anything don't care that is life and can you imagine for you you don't go through this
00:34:30 because you are high fly you can climb and can go but for them this is what they see in the life but what I want to share with you is this no one desires to be a bad boss no one joins a company and says that I want to be the lousiest employee in this company Nobody Does it when you join a company when you look for a job you want to be excellent but what we realize is there's a problem the problem is not with the people the problem is with inefficient processes and the lack of single source of Truth
00:34:59 which means that because nobody has a very easy way to find out what's really happening in the business everybody is fumbling around and you fight amongst each other okay is just having a f among your each other because you cannot find out what is really happening so what do we do when I look at it I decided to say that I don't want to just be an efficient company we want to be a company that really changes companies From the Inside Out by changing Culture by changing how things work so what we
00:35:25 want to do is instead of just building better efficient systems for people we want to be able to say that every single part of the process when a person does good work they can be recognized when a person actually does well we can actually encourage them to perform better and the boss has a way to say that when it comes to year review they can click a button they can know everything that you've done well everything that you need help with so that people know that when a work is not done perhaps sometimes it's not even the
00:35:53 problem the customer didn't open a door how can I service why are you complaining about me I I cannot fix the part why because a warehouse didn't bring the part in so there are a lot of these things that we try to do but in short what we want to do is not just to give a tool for management to take care and and actually manage the team but we want a system that allows for keyword the keyword we're looking to do is to allow for human flourishing in businesses so this is the purpose of sales connection the vision we have is
00:36:23 to build good and successful companies with joyful people across the world what does it mean everybody wants to be successful success in this world is is Define simple make money all companies must make money right but Bing money is not enough number two what you want to make sure that you are a good company you want to make sure your customer say you're good your customer say that you deliver a very good product but there's a way to do it you can deliver good product and be profitable by squeezing
00:36:49 your employees you can do that but our goal is to have a system that allows whereby there's triple win scenarios your customer is happy company's happy and the employee themselves all can do well as well so this is what we want to do to really do that and when we look at it even our cultural values I decide to change it to add one more element instead of just talking about entrepreneurship love Integrity teamk Excellence I want added one extra pillar in our culture to say that we want to be different the key thing about sales con
00:37:21 is we want to be different so that when people use the system lives will change life is short as a Christian I can tell them to you know go and glorify Jesus Christ but as people who are non-christians out there this is what we want to write over there life is short make a difference be a channel for good wherever you are so why I'm sharing all this to you is because if you see Matthew 25:35 it says as well for I was hungry and gave me something to eat I was thirsty and give me something to drink I was a stranger
00:37:55 and invited me in I needed clothes and CL me I was sick and you look after me I was in prison and you came to visit me we're not here just to help those people who are able to be successful but people who the voiceless people who do not who are not able to help themselves we need to be able to provide a service to help them in the business world I think it's starting something new is starting it's called Redemptive businesses businesses that when you start it the whole goal is actually to have a Redemption Insight
00:38:24 where you serve communities where which will not get your service because normally for any business I can tell you any companies any anywhere you work you find the place where you get the most salary same go of businesses you Target customers mnc's they pay the most money but nobody wants to help smmes small little guys who cannot pay much money but if you can build a business model that can totally change it make yourself profitable while being to achieve this things will really change so the king
00:38:49 will reply truly I tell you whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine you did for me so what we want to do is after a lot of reflection if God is really living in me and looking at How I Live whether I want to say that after 50 years when I am 80 years I look back I ask myself what I've done I made businesses efficient is it good enough I think the answer is not good enough but if I can help some companies to become to have this culture where by human flourishing can work I would say
00:39:25 that this would be something that is worth my life so as something I I believe God will be happy about so what is a raon datra is to say that we want to glorify God to let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your fathers in heaven now is this easy or not it is not easy to do something like this is not easy and you cannot sustain yourself through self-will when you go out to work on Monday when you go to school when you go home you cannot sustain yourself to walk in the light by
00:39:58 just just trying to self will to Greed to determination it doesn't work it doesn't help you because why because when you help companies do you know that customers will score you they will use you they will squeeze you no matter how good you are to them they CH try to use you because in Malaysia everywhere already gets used yeah so these things do happen so what is a what's the way to do it how do you handle it do we become like Mando in mandalorean what does he always say way this is the way okay
00:40:35 whatever happens the answer is very simple this is the way this is the way of a Christian Life we have grits we have determination with strength we can do it is that the way of a Christian yes or no no this is not the way this is not way we do not live through self will we not live through just determination the way we do it is not to look for a different way but understand that he is the way the only way you can sustain through this 80 90 years of life whereby I can tell you is not B of roses I just went for
00:41:21 Holiday went to Bali for two days we had a very good time after that I went to per decided to spend seven days in pu we spent seven days in a toilet my son had diarrhea and I spent all the time taking care of him for 3 days after 3 days I started getting diarhea so don't come so near to me please it's been again again and so I just recovered yesterday I can't even stand properly now but I want to share with you your life is not easy there are times whereby things be difficult you ask me and a lot of times when you look at
00:42:06 people you see them maybe having a little bit success you say life is so easy you don't know the buckets of Tears they cry but one thing I share you at the back of it all throughout my entire life journey I can assure you I can give you a written guarantee Christ has never left me through the days that were tough the days where there's one time five six years ago my key engineer left I cried like mad because only he knew how to do the certain things but God always showed up he always let me had
00:42:47 glimpse of his shadow when I needed certain things he would come when I was in the Deep trenches he may not pull me out all totally but if you let me know that I'm still there because he will never leave us and although you are living in darkness although you may going through a lot of difficult times you may have a lot of uncertainty you may not know what to live for as well and to you everywhere around you is just darkness and you just feel helpless but I want you to know this just like the spirit of bruly
00:43:25 living in you you have something better the spirit of the Living God is living in you he's in fellowship with you the word Fellowship is like partnership he says John I want to partner [Music] you all that I have all the resources I have my in my disposal I will make available to you if you just listen you just obey if you just repent and really follow not through your own strength not like Mando who said this is the way but to understand that I am the way I am the truth and I'm the life so brother and sisters remember
00:44:22 this what keeps us going to know that God is love it's not enough to know that God is light the most important thing to know is God Is Not Just light it's like a coin God is Not Just light but God is also love God is Not Just Justice God is love and you have both together and that will continue powering you through until the days until the end of this uh shall we all rise and respond [Music] Lord of fre have wondered all the Earth [Music] unsatisfied drinking from a sea all emptiness has left us dry
