what should i do?
i have come to the cross road of my life, lots of people keep asking me to close down my company (Anycom), because as a future full time pastor i should focus on God’s ministry and now i should focus only study. that was a moment i was so tired because of my company, study, church and my family. so im thinking to let go some area of my life, i can not let go of my family, church and study, the one thing that i can choice to let go is the company.
my company-Anycom Management & Marketing. me and two of my very best friends, my brothers (without them i will not be who i am today, thanks ian and caleb). we started as an advertising company in 2003, we are young and inocent, the company didnt really make any profit but we survive. in 2004 both of my partners telling me that we are going to organize a wedding fair because it will help us making lots of money, im not really convince by them but i will follow whatever they say(because im the younger and i trust them). but the event didnt turn out what we expect it to be, it cost us loss RM 45,000. it was a very big amount to us, i was so lost and worry, at the age of 22 i was in debt of RM 45k. but by God’s grace within 1 and half year the debt was clear. and i start organize event in jb, at the age of 22 i was already start organize the biggest beauty fair and wedding fair. lots of people can not believe a young guy like me can organize these 2 biggest events in jb, what i can say is God’s grace for me and i working very hard for it. i always remember in Deuteronomy 8:18 "…for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…"
last year when i was study in STM, the comnpany still giving me salary RM 1000, it help me a lots, because i need to pay the the car installment RM 800 per month and my others expenses. this month finally i finish the car installment, but my dad was expected me to help in the house installment which is RM 2300 per month.
people always telling me that God will provide, can God use my company to provide for me?
the reasons i want to keep the company is
1. i will get income.
2. i can have the chance to build relationship with the bosses in the market, they are lost too.
3. i have put in so much effort into the company and it is hard for me to let go and it is my hobbie to organize events.
so now what should i do?

Bro, i can feel ur helplessness as i read ur blog… all that i can say is pray to Him that you want to keep this company, have faith and believe in it! The rest is up to to Him. Either He’ll grant you what u want or give you sth better! I know it’s hard, but He’s the reason we live…He is the center in everything we do.

dear boss/pastor
im confused whether to call u a student or a pastor or a manager…(!!???!) but anyway, those who always push u to close the company are what we called ‘pharisees’. u see, these kind of people are so preoccupied by the stereotype thinking (taboo) that ‘if a person wanted to follow Christ, he must surrender everything fully’. if that is the case, that does not at all mean that God is not your main priorrity, am i right? who on earth says that by running the company, u cannot focus on the church?GIVE TO CAESAR WHAT BELONGS TO CAESAR AND GIVE TO GOD WHAT BELONGS TO GOD! i believe u r annointed and blessed and matured enough to know what belongs to God, right my brother jacob?
