Chapter 126: Why Feeling Pressurized?

During Vivit's wedding, everyone was watching the video with full of sensation. When the video had finished, many came to ask me about videography. And some even asked me how I manage to shoot the whole scenario by myself alone. "The video clip shows us that it could be more than two videographers. How many videographer are there?" In fact, it is true. God only used one person to shoot the whole wedding event.

Then one young lady said, "Jack, I am impressed. You indeed inherit a God-given talent. Hence I believe you must be enjoying your work when you are video-shooting."

"It is true that I enjoyed my work. yet I do have pressure." Smiling as I replied.

Feeling surprised "Why feeling pressurized? You have the skills already."

"Allow me to explain... Though I praise God for giving me the talent, I still have pressure. The reason lies on people's big day which is WEDDING. To them, it is a precious day. They paid for the videography because they want their DAY to be remembered. And they place their GREAT TRUST in my hand. And how can I ruin their great wedding? We, who work in this field, will feel the same. We must find the best moments to capture. And forever the couple will remember the event, whenever they see the video. Though we have the skills, everything in the wedding event appeared only ONCE, not twice. Once the best moments are gone, it's gone forever."

As I was explaining, she nodded in agreement. I continued,

"That is why I still need God to help me in every video clip. I trust God. Every video business I pray hard, I must humble myself to allow God to reign in the video business. I will always pray when I do the video-shooting, such as 'God, help me to find a great angle.' I must always remind myself it is not me to make the wonderful video, but God Himself. With God's help, that is why, so far, every customer is satisfied with their wedding video. Not only I depend on God, I must also do every video clip in love as if I am serving God. Not only to satisfy every customer's desire, it must be pleasing to God too. God tells us to show our deeds to others, so that His name will be glorified. God gave me this talent; therefore, I must use it in the name of Jesus and glorify our God. To God be the glory!"

The lady, including the people around her who were listening to me, were amazed by God's wonderful work. Together they praised God, and asked me, "Jack, where is your namecard? We will help you to promote...

your videography."

Psalms 40:4
"Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods."

Chapter 116: 2012

Yesterday was Christopher's birthday. He invited me and Amanda, my dear for dinner and movie. The movie is 2012. Before that, everyone in Facebook was saying that 2012 is really an awesome movie.

After watching 2012, I was very amazed by the multimedia guy. He is a genius in his marvelous video editing. How I wish that I can be like that one day for my video business.



Many people who watched 2012 will probably get the same message about "Love one another", that is to appreciate those who are besides us, and ask one another for forgiveness. And most people learned that human beings cannot be selfish, because all of us are living in this world. Supposedly we are one family in God's creation. Therefore, regardless of religions and races, we are one, and we should be united to save one another.

However, I believe most of the people who watch this movie will not get the same idea as mine. This is an important message which everyone will listen and therefore forget. Hence, let me remind the readers one more time.

The black was fighting for the right to save the humans who were still outside the ship. In less than ten minutes, the waves would wipe out the rest of humanity if they were late to save them outside. Then this black said, "I have a friend. Now he is dead. He was the one who tells us about this information. Because of him, there is why we are saved. Unfortunately, my friend sacrificed his life and died in the tsunami."



Just because of one man, the humanity is saved. Just because of one information, the humanity is saved. Though he sacrificed his life for humanity, it's worth after all for the saved humans to carry down their next generations.

Readers, here is the real message. There is ONLY one man who can really save humanity when the judgment day comes. He is the Messiah, Jesus Christ. He was sent by God, the Heavenly Father, to do God's will - to save humanity. One information Jesus brings - those who believe in Him and they shall be saved.

John 6:40
"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

John 12:50
"I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

For those who do not believe, they are already condemned. Jesus Christ did not only come to world with this information, he also sacrificed his life for us, once for all. The cross is the mark of Jesus' redemption. But he rose from the dead and lived again, till this present day, and forever He shall live! Hallelujah!

Jesus warned us about the end of days. I tell you the truth. You think the movie 2012 is scary? The judgment day will be ten times more horrible than this. Therefore, repent and turn back to God. Believe in Jesus Christ and inherit eternal life to build relationship with God, our Father in Heaven.

John 5:24
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

Chapter 111: Agency

I will be an agent for Prudential Corporation. Yesterday I entered the company and looked around the boards which showed the people who had achieved their target.

I really admired those who worked really hard to change their life. They want to have a better life. As for me, I want an extraodinary life. I had been praying hard for my future at all times. God, have mercy. I am standing in a society without wings. I have no one to depend on except You, God.

Agent plays very importantly when he is meeting his clients. Agency is a relationship between an agent and a principal. Whatever he does on his business, he is representing the principal. The duties of an agent normally involve in a written contract. A contract contains terms and conditions about the agency and also on behalf of his principal. The principal will be responsible for all contracts which his agent has made.The agent needs to perform his works with care, skill and diligence. And an agent is supposed to bring good news to his clients about his products. Hence, if anything happens to the agent, the principal is in big trouble. However, the agents in Prudential Corporation are so confident that they definitely know they are trusting the right thing.

Therefore, the Prudential Corporation logo is...

"The Face You Can Trust"


It immediately strike me with a face of Jesus.

Jesus is the Son of God, yet He is also working as an agent between God and human. God is the "principal". Whatever Jesus does, God will be responsible. To bring the good news to the human, and save the lost... That's His work which God has sent Him to do. In order to gain access to God, Jesus is the agent (the way, the truth and the life). Now I understand being responsible as an agent for someone is extremely big. Furthermore, Jesus Christ paid His life, once for all, for the entire human races. How much can I feel that Jesus is in a big responsiblity of saving humanity?



Since Jesus had helped us to gain access to God, so we must be Jesus' agents to tell others about the relationship with God. To tell others about the Gospel so that they can be saved. This is an important agency.

Let's be agents for Jesus, so that He will bring good reports to Heavenly Father.

Start our agency now.

John 14:6
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Chapter 103: Six Years Back

Six years back in church.
This is the moment which God led me into His Glory... The purpose of writing them down is to remember how great God reveal His Glory to me.

All of these excluded the ministry in art (e.g. Photography), drama, visitation, logistic, leadership, counseling, healing, preaching, teaching and delivering... Though as compared to other pastors and missionaries, I still have alot to learn. Yet I felt that God had brought me up to this level in only six years. Amazing...!

Behind all these, there are much sorrow, conflicts, misunderstanding, troubles and misery. However, in return, it brought Glory on our Almighty God. Though now some people in church may ignore and neglect me, I will still continue on with my journey. Some people do not even want to say "Hi" to me when they saw me. Yet, God, I will walk extra mile for You and forgive these people. God, Your love will surround me.

God is good all the time.
Now, I also know God wants me to go to another level: to face the real world. This level is even more challenging. God, You still remember my prayer: to be extraordinary.

Joshua 1:9
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Chapter 94: Third Party

"Jack, your youth live concert video is amazing!"
"Oh! Thanks so much! I am greatly encouraged!"
"Ha ha... I wish I was there."
"Ya! Don't worry. Anyway, how are you?"

"I am crying actually. I am making a hard decision."

Huh????


A girl was chatting with me in MSN.
"Ok, girl. Tell me what's going on? Maybe you need an ear, I am here to listen."

This girl started to tell,
"I have 2 boyfriends now. Both are at different places. The old one doesn't know I am having a new boyfriend. I love the new guy more than the old one."

I was completely stunned!
"Wow! Ok... Continue..."

"My old boyfriend treats me very well. He will give me whatever I want. He never control me. However, the new guy does not treats me well. He always criticises me saying I have affairs with other boys. He demands so much from me, that I need to change so much for him. Yet it is ok. Because I love this new one more."

I was speechless, replied, "Ok, continue..."
"This is my problem now. Who am I going to choose?"

"It is better to choose the old one. He does not do anything wrong to you. Yet you have betrayed him. Since you say he is so nice to you, why not finding him back?" I answered,

"Why do you say that? I love the new one more."
"The new one will not give you happiness. He treats you very badly now. In future, there are more worse to come. He cannot give anything to you, unlike the old one. He disrespect you. I tell you the truth - this relationship will not last long."

The girl interrupted, "You seem to know the situation very well. The new one even say we are done. He does not want to share his girlfriend with others. Even if I break up with the old one, the new one will not wanna continue too."

"Girl, this is serious, man! You better take his words. He really does not want to carry on with you anymore. The reason is he is the third party. If you break up with the old one, he will still think there is a possibility that you will have a new affair in future. It is hard to trust. You cannot blame him."


"Ok, what should I do now?"
"Listen to my advice. Stop this new relationship right now. And find back the old one. And promise me that you will not do this again in the future. No more third party relationship. The old one is very pitiful. He loves you, respects you, and gives you everything you want. And you betrayed him. This is tragic!"

Lastly, she concluded, "Ok, I will give this new guy another chance. If he does not change, I will break up and find back the old boyfriend."

WHAT?! *Faint*

Romans 7:15
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."

Chapter 81: The Most Foolish Thing

When I woke up in the morning,
suddenly I recalled this incident…
It was about 4 months ago…

During the night, someone called me
“Jack, this is the most foolish thing which I had ever done.”

When he came to me, he was about to cry. I calmed him down, encouraging “Hey! Bro! What’s going on? Relax. Tell me slowly. I will listen.”


He was weeping. I could see the tears in his eyes. He said “I broke up with my girlfriend.”
“Oh… Ok. Don’t feel sad. You will be fine! Be strong.”

“No, Jack. This is not the point. After the breakup, she finds me back. I said I do not want to see her anymore. Then she even asks my mother, my friends, her friends to find me.”
“Well, this is the consequence which she needed to face when she dumped you.”

“I still love her. However, I just could not forgive her because she broke up with me for no reason.”
“Well, now, do you wanna give her a chance to meet her? You still can…”

Before I finished my sentence, he interrupted

“Jack, she is dead.” Then he burst into tears.

“WHAT! When is this?”
“This afternoon…”

I did not know what to do during that time. I just sat down there and listen to his cry. I knew what he meant by “the most foolish thing”. He lost his chance to see his ex girlfriend. At that time, he still loved her. Due to the breakup, he created hatred in his heart and refuse to meet her. When he found out that she was dead, her parents actually explained to him, saying that the reason why they broke up may be laid in this fact. He sorrowfully said “Now I know why we broke up… I really regret! I really regret!!”


Readers, the reason he regretted is because of his unforgiving attitude. Forgiveness is really needed in everyone’s life. Learn to cherish opportunity which can create new miracle between you and your friends. God forgives us our sins; He even gives us a new life. Since God forgives us, we must forgive one another. Jesus Christ came to die for our sins, because He had forgiven us. He loves us. Though you are hurt by others, you still need to forgive them. Learn to face your enemies with a smile every day. Learn to reconcile with them and forgive them wrongdoing against you. Do not regret if anything happens out of your expectations. Remember this verse below...

Matthew 6:14-15
"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

The last sentence he said
“If she is still alive now, I will…”

It’s too late.

Chapter 65: Good VS Bad

When it was the Homiletic class, we were given a work to extract the significance between Old Testament and New Testament: Isaiah 61:1-6 and Luke 4:16-24. I began to find out an interesting fact. Jesus did not read out the last past of Isaiah 61:2:

“and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,”

At that time, Jewish were brought to Babylon to be slaves. They were ill-treated badly. So, it is not surprising that their heart contained full of vengeance. They wanted to take revenge so badly. Though people in Old Testament did repent and mourn to God, it does not mean “all” Jewish. I believe they even curse the Babylonians, by saying something like “Beware! My God will destroy you one day!”

The Jewish did not remember the good things which our God had done for them. That is why God kept on repeating, “I am your God who brought you out of Egypt.”, “I am the God of your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” However, I truly believe that the Jewish remembered mostly on the hatred of what their enemies had done to them.

I do not understand why Isaiah, the prophet, wrote this sentence “vengeance of our God”. Whether it is of God or of human, this is not my point. I only wanna tell you all one thing: Human remembers “bad” more than “good”.

Why do I say that? Good and bad things, which will you recall more often? Obviously, the answer is “bad things”. After reading this now, I am very sure that some will say, “No. I am not like that.”

Do not claim yourself to be holy.
Gossip and praise, which do you talk more?
Sorrow and Joy, which do you share more?
Rebuke and compliment, which do you recall more?
Love and hatred, which is harder for you to put down?
Your fav star and God, which is easier to remember?

I can ensure that you are on the “bad” side.

My Homiletic Lecturer - Dr Cheng
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, did not read that sentence “vengeance of our God”. I truly believe that He wanted us to learn to let go of our bad memory, and reconcile our enemies. Instead of “vengeance”, he teaches us to love and forgive. That is why many people are changed in the name of Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:9
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good."

Chapter 6: Malaysia C Walk Legend

Written on February 2008



I think when people heard about Jack’s Stuff. Mostly, they will recall about music, MTV, photography… and CWALK! There was one time that Benjamin and I went to Centerpoint, KK. He heard some people looking at me, saying “Look! The CWalk guy!”, “Jack’s Stuff!”, “CWalk!”
















The Crip Walk, or C-Walk, is a steady movement of the feet used to spell out gang-related symbols and images. It originated in the early 1970s in Compton, a poor suburb of Los Angeles, California, popularly referenced in rap lyrics. What began as a symbolic movement of the feet in the early 1980s, soon inspired a hip-hop dance in the late 1990s. This style of dance today is known as the Crip Walk.

A common practice for Crip members is to use the C-Walk to celebrate the initiation of a new member. It is also largely believed that the C-Walk was used as a warning to other gangs of a future attack by the Crips, or as a signal in a robbery. For example, the lookout would stand outside of the store and act as surveillance, while the robbers would lay in wait and await the signal: the C-Walk. Allegedly, Crips would also C-Walk after shooting or killing a rival gang memberin celebration.

The Clown Walk (also known as the C-Walk) refers to a modern dance style, usually done to hip hop music. It is a variation of the Crip walk, a gang related dance. Clown Walking, however, was created to distance the relationship between the dance style and the Crips gang. Another variation of Clown Walking is Crown walking, which focuses mostly on flow rather than speed and flash.
_______________________________


Why do I still CWalk then? There are a lot of people who complain and rebuke me for CWalk culture… I don’t care how they think. I do it in a right way. CWalk is for passion and fun.

Everyone must believe one truth. All creations come from Jesus, even CWalk! I am saying to the Christians now. Remember! All Creations worship Jesus. Amen.

I don’t adapt in the Gangster culture, or anything evil. I just wanted to CWalk for the Glory of God.










How does it happen that I started my CWalk?
I know a dance called Shuffle. Tono is one of my youths in Labuan. Currently, he studies in Singapore. Before he left for studies, he showed me Shuffle dance in youtube because he is a shuffler. If you type “Shuffle Malaysia” in youtube, you will know how it looks like. After watching the shuffle, Tono saw a video named “CWalk”. Then he checked on the video. That’s how I get to know CWalk in the first place.












Tono said that CWalk is really cool. And many people had failed to CWalk because the footworks are very complicated. He himself is a shuffler, but he prefers CWalk. Then I asked him a question, “Anyone does CWalk in Malaysia?” He replied, “No… I see no video of Malaysia CWalk in youtube.”

In my mind, I prayed to Jesus, “Lord, I want this CWalk to be a legend in Malaysia.

Let me be the first one who starts a video about CWalk Legend in Malaysia. Let me be the light of the world through CWalk. I wanna make a difference and glorify Your Holy name through CWalk.”

I said to Tono that I would like to try CWalk. He said this to me, “Jack, this is going to be tough. It takes a long time to master it.” Then I said to Jesus, “By one month, I will master the footwork of CWalk in the name of Jesus. May the Lord help me!”

I know one day in Malaysia, CWalk will be very famous. Many people will start to CWalk. If I don’t start CWalking now, it would be too late to catch up with the new generation. After that one month, I went to a new place called Tawau. In Tawau, no one knows about CWalk. I did my CWalk practices where no one was around. Accidentally, someone saw my CWalk. And that’s how the people in Tawau started their CWalk journey.

Jack’s Stuff C Walk in KK.


Many people had known me through CWalk. They will acknowledge me as a Christian.
I am in the success of seeking the Greater Glory of God. No one understands, but Jesus is the only one who knows my heart.

Let His name be widespread throughout Malaysia in my CWalk video. His name is to be lifted up high forever! Amen!

CWalk is one of the ways of life. You must CWalk into a level where everyone can feel the groove and relaxation in your CWalk. Make sure everyone can see every step of our footwork, yet they can’t learn from seeing it. This is what I called professional CWalk. My CWalk is Crown Walk.
