He is a very successful and wealthy man just like other tycoons. But one thing that makes him truly different from others and special is, he puts all his trust unto God's hands.
I believe that his staffs must be feeling really lucky and honoured to be able to work under him because he treats all of them as a family. Just like what the bible says,''Love your neighbour as yourself.'' He's indeed put into practice.
Why am I blogging about this man whom I do not even know? It is because I respect him for his strong faith. He believes that Jesus Christ directed him towards God and found himself worthy of being God's servant.
It's amazing that for a 16 year-old school drop out, is much more successful than most degree holders now. Why? Not that he was outstanding, it's his faith towards God which contributes to who he is now.
I came to know that, when he first converted to Christianity from Buddhism, needless to say, he had to bear with all those negative comments and reactions his parents and siblings thrown to him. Instead of ignoring or arguing with them, he gave his siblings a Bible each. As he strongly believes in God's mighty power, a miracle happened eventually. His siblings, one by one they became believeres. Amazing huh? It may be a very long process, but he waited as God gave him the patience. Imagine, just a bible, he managed to bring all his siblings unto Christ. Even I myself has not done this before in my life. Come to think of it, I hardly bring anyone to come to know about Jesus Christ. I didn't even take the courage to do so, shame on me.
James 2:17 says, ''faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.''

Yes, we may be very strong believers in Christ, but if we do not share the gospel, reach out to people out there, we're just no difference with the non-believers. The faith is dead. As believers, we are this group of people who sent by God, to fullfill His heart's desire, bring the people into the house of God, the kingdom of God.
In this society full of temptations, it is very difficult to find a successful man who trusts God with all his heart just like Tan Sri Francis Yeoh. He succeeded not because he's incredibly capable, it's God's strength. God has blessed him as he has honoured Him.
James 1:12 says, "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.''

Philippians 4:13 says, ''I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.''
James 1:5 says, ''If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.''
In short, love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.
