Chapter 13: Creativity

Written on 16 October 2008


On 15 October 2008, Rev Yee invited me for dinner at ARK (Anglican Retirement Kampong). I have already known him and his family in Labuan (my hometown) for several years. When I reached ARK, I was told that there were some puppies around the area. So I went to search for the puppies. These are the pictures of the puppies.


The moment that I saw all those puppies, I thought, “These puppies are so cute.” I even grabbed the puppies one by one and look at their face. Suddenly, I began to wonder one thing. If we were to compare who has the best creativity, I would say God is always the best.

People often comment about my creativity, “Great!”, “Excellent!”, “Creative!” However, I know that there is an enormous gap in between my creativity and God’s creativity. Why do I wanna say that? Take a look at this video below.


If God didn’t design and create dogs on the 6th day of creation, we will not see the dogs now. Can the girls say “WOW! This puppy is SO CUTE……….!!!!”? Look at its paws, the eyes, the face, the ear, the fur…. Can you create something like that if God didn’t show you the features of a dog?

As it is written in the bible, Genesis 1:24 - 25
“And God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, the wild animals each according to its kind.’ And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”

Look at these 4 points:
1) ‘livestock and creatures that move along the ground’ means animals (poultry and wildlife) , amphibians , reptiles and insects. There are 4 kinds of creatures. Remember that, readers!!

2) ‘…according to its kind’ means different types of design in one same particular animal. For example, in dog family, You have Hush Puppy, Chi Wawa, Husky, Bulldog etc… What about different types of cats? Snakes? Bears?

3) ‘And it was so.’ means God created all kinds of living creatures IN JUST ONE DAY!! Think carefully, Readers! You can’t copy God’s idea of the fur, scale, eyes, paws, ears, body, legs… any part of any creature. Can you design a cute creature? Even if you were given a year to create one cute creature, you still cracked your skull! What more about creating thousands of different creatures IN JUST ONE DAY?!! CRAZY MAN!!


4) ‘And God saw that it was good.’ Of course, it was GOOD! I should say FANTASTIC! God created beautiful creatures IN JUST ONE DAY!!!

What about the 3rd day of creation?
God made various kinds of vegetation
IN JUST ONE DAY?

What about the 5th day of creation?
God made various kinds of living creatures in the sea and various kinds of winged bird under the sky
IN JUST ONE DAY!!!

Do you think it is easy to design those living things IN JUST ONE DAY?!

YOU CRAZY AH?!


The most amazing creativity is that God used only 6 days to create this world!!! What can we do in 6 days?! NOTHING!! Christians, I know you all will never realize this truth until I tell you so.

Do not just read Genesis 1 as if you are reading fairy tale. Feel it!!! Elaborate the awesome creation of God!!! Look at the living things around you!! They are all the tiny little part of God’s creation which was created only in 6 days. Do you understand what I am saying? Appreciate the wonderful creations of God. It is JUST MARVELLOUS!



Remember my brand “Jack’s Stuff”… If God didn’t give me this creative idea of designing this logo, I would never have created Jack’s Stuff. Readers, you agree? Indeed, God is great!!!


As I recalled all these verses and looked at the puppies again, I said, “God, No one can have the creativity like You do.

You are so AMAZING!”
