From my little experience of being a sales person, observing some successful sales persons and encountering salesmen and women, here's a little conclusion I observed. One of the effective method to sell a product successfully, is to create or to bring out the sense of insecurity within your customer for not having your product. In my lessons of Product Design in my Engineering courses, I understood that products were designed on the basis of customer needs, which rises from a deep darkness within every man, insecurity. Companies feel insecure about their technological capabilities to stay ahead of the game, and pushes them within their financial capabilities to advance in efficiency as well as technology. Insurance agents often bring up speculations on unpredictable life events such as accident, sickness and death (which are actually quite predictable. Well, who doesn't get any of those anyway?) that stir within us that anxiety and insecurity when we do not subscribe to ...

It's 10 days since my grandfather's passing and it's Winter Solstice. My mother misses my grandfather deeply and has not stop grieving. In the face of death we felt so powerless and helpless, but the death of Christ and His resurrection gave us hope, that we may have power over death in Him alone. So hold on to your Christ, because it is by His power we are made strong. Share this power, so that all may be saved in Him alone.

After the visit to Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd, this is what happened in my car.

Indeed the simplest truth is enough. When I went back to KL to see my grandfather, I didn't know how limited there was for me to do. I had to simplify the gospel because I don't even know if he could hear me. I simply know that I have to do it. And so I did, quoting John 3:16 I told him that God loves him and wants to save us from our sins, that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. And then I just started cry feeling helplessly powerless to do anything for my grandfather. All I could do was to pray and ask God for help. And He's the only one who can help me now. I thank God for the trip back home. To help me realise that the gospel is simple and we need to bring it to other as simple as possible. Its just, our fear complicates it.

I was on my way to my aunt's house in Kampar after the Gua Tempurung adventure. I was going to lodge at my aunt's house for a night before continuing the journey back to KL to bring the gospel to my grandpa who is now in vegetative state. I cried while praying because I felt helplessly powerless and I beg God to do all He can for what I cannot.

One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” And he said to them, “ The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Mark 2:23-27 The disciples had a terrible breakfast. On a Sabbath day, they were so much into following Jesus, they forgot their breakfast. When they realised it, they were desperate for something in the stomach already, so they plucked some grains from the roadside field to ease that hunger a bit. Now, you can imagine this to be funny. Some Pharis...

The illness of my grandfather has been hard on my family and I. But I have hope in Christ, that even things doesn't go the way we wish it would, God remains in control, and because God is good, we know our grandfather is in good hands. Bring the good news to those you love, before it's too late. With much regret I did not bring it to my grandfather, I pray you would not have to live with such regret for the rest of your life. But I trust the Lord that He would reveal Himself to him. He's in good hand.
