My Cup Overfloweth

Monday, 9th June 2008

Those who have been following my blog have realised that while I used to blog every day, ever since I changed jobs, I have only been blogging on weekends and public holidays.

Well, today calls for an exception because something most wonderful happened in the office.

My CFO was in KL and Hongkong over the past 2 weeks. This morning, he called me into his room to update him about what happened in Singapore while he was away. After about 15 minutes into our conversation, he told me that the reason why he could safely be out of the country for 2 weeks without worrying was because he knew the Finance department was in safe hands.

He went on to say that recruiting me was the best decision that he had ever made and placed upon me other accolodates that really made me feel very paiseh. He then told me that the MD and he had jointly decided to confirm me with effect from 1 June 2008 and presented me with an envelope containing my confirmation letter. I was told to open it in front of him, and I could not believe my eyes! I was being given a 20% increment!

I thought that God had prospered me enough in my previous company by giving me 5 increments in the space of 3 years, and also the 2 biggest bonuses of my entire career. But here He was like telling me, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

I had never had such a big increment in my entire career, and somehow, I know that things are going to get even better because God has stayed true to His Word in Mal 3:10 and opened the floodgate of heavens upon me. I remember that ever since listening to that sermon on tithing by Rev Dr Wee Boon Hup in July 2005, I have been going beyond the tithe (ie. giving more than 10% to church). This has coincided with the beginning of the increments and bonuses, and more increments and bonuses. To put things in perspective, God has caused my basic salary to increase by 60% compared to what it was in October 2005!

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I give you all the praise and all the glory for filling my cup to overflowing, and for granting me great favour with my CFO and MD. Thank you for blessing my career. You are indeed an awesome God! Hallelujah!
