The God of Unlimited Abundance
“and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up twelve full baskets of the leftover broken pieces.” (Matthew 14:20 AMP)
When I read my Bible, I see a generous God who doesn’t set any limits to His blessings.
When Jesus worked the miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes, the multitudes ate until THEY were satisfied.
In other words, we set the limits in our minds.
Another example:
“I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”” (Psalms 91:16 WEB)
Who is the one who is satisfied? It is God satisfying us! Meaning we decide what we deem as long life.
“who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalms 103:5 WEB)
Again, God satisfies our desire with good things.
Some of us are so lazy with our faith that we can’t be bothered to exercise it to believe and ask for more.
Always be in a posture of receiving more supply from God. There is an unbreakable connection between you and Heaven. Keep seeing fresh grace for everything being delivered to you.
At times, religious thoughts hold us back from believing for more. For example, “I shouldn’t be so greedy. I should be content with my lot in life. If God wants to give me more, He will.”
This is a lie! Jesus’ finished work at the cross already overpaid for you so that God has approved you to receive every spiritual blessing!
If you receive anything less than EVERY, then you’re wasting the potential of what Jesus did for you at the cross.
Yes it’s good to be content in every situation, but God wants to give you everything that Jesus died for you to have!
It won’t happen if you have a maybe yes maybe no attitude—that’s unbelief.
Also, if you are really so enthusiastic about winning souls and sharing the Gospel, then you need both provision and health to do that.
It takes money to print books and Gospel tracts, to rent event venues for preaching, and to help the poor, widows and orphans.
You also can’t do all these personally if you’re always sick and weak.
Don’t keep thinking about your provision and health already being enough for you. You need to receive MUCH MORE so that you can be an even greater blessing to others.
“Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from of all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.” (2 Kings 4:3 WEB)
Look, God doesn’t want you to just have a few containers. Enlarge your capacity to receive more oil of God’s blessings. See God as generous and holding nothing back from you!
“He said, “Take the arrows”; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; and he struck three times, and stopped. The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it; whereas now you will strike Syria just three times.”” (2 Kings 13:18-19 WEB)
God doesn’t want you to just co-exist with your spiritual enemies and always struggle in a stalemate with them. He wants to give you overwhelming victory over them!
So many of us just strike three times instead of receiving more and believing for more. When we pray, we aren’t persistent, and we’re not bold in asking for more.
“But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”” (Matthew 13:23 NKJV)
If you settle for the thirtyfold manifestation of God’s blessings and stop asking for more, then you’ll never experience the hundredfold.
I sense that God want us to smash those self-imposed limits in our mind and see that He is the God of unlimited abundance.
Life and life more abundantly is our portion.
Meditate on the pieces of Scripture that I’ve shared and see how God’s blessings are not dependent on Him being satisfied, but us being satisfied.
We choose how much is enough. If we really want to make great impact for God’s glory, then we need to have faith for more. For the sake of others, we really need to prosper in all things and be healthy, even as our souls prosper!
In my new book “Messiah’s Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on all 37 recorded miracles done by Jesus in the four gospels.
I believe that as you see Jesus working miracles, unveiling God’s heart of love, goodness and mercy towards man, you will also receive faith to see more miracles in every area of your life!
Your capacity to receive will be increased as you grow in your revelation of Jesus!
Testimonials for the book:
“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA
“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore

I enjoy all the beauties and the good in life: a bouquet of flowers, rainbows, the delicacy of porcelain china, the touch of snuggly fabrics, the scent of nature, the list could go on and on.
Samuel and I married early, we bought our first apartment with limited budget, I still tried hard to make the most of it to fit my “perfection”.
The small balcony was filled with plants and flowers. It was my secret garden, I can sip my cup of coffee and watch my greens all morning.
Not just the balcony; my kitchen was equipped with aesthetic and functional silverware and pots; I knocked down the tiles provided by the construction company, just to choose my own tiles, not to mention what I went through to find the right fabric and color for those hand towels.
Thus, I can not accept the fact that I was going to spend the rest of my life in a wheel-chair.
There was no more perfection.
The first year was the darkest time in my life. It felt like decades. No matter how hard I tried to squirm out of the whirlpool of darkness, the more I struggled, the more I was sucked into it. I was drowning.
There’s so much than what you see “a person in a wheelchair” who’s paralyzed. You don’t have bladder control, you suffer dysautonomia which simply means you have pains and cramps sending to your system by your damaged nerves. There are also issues like obesity, osteoporosis, and kidney, heart and lungs problems.
My stubborn tumor cuts me from T8-9, meaning from about 3 cm above my belly button until my waist down, I don’t feel a thing, and I can’t budge a toe. All of a sudden, from 167 cm tall, I became 125cm. With that height, I can’t see the faces of people, I can’t smell the fresh air, and no more scenic views for me.
Due to the PTSD, I started to lose weight, but with no balance and muscle to straighten my back, my tummy always stuck out. I looked like a shrimp that has a 6 months belly in a wheel chair. I had to throw out all my tight and pretty clothes in change of clothes that could cover up the bulging tummy, and easy to put on pants with elastic waists. My beloved shoes had to go too, my feet are easily swollen, I need bigger shoes.
My choice of clothing and trend was banished.
The nerve pains follow me EVERY SINGLE DAY, 24-7. The medications can only do so much. Isn’t it an irony? I can’t feel my son’s hands touching my legs. Or someone just come and pinch me, let me get some real pain here. Nope, they are all gone. Dealing with the pains of my body takes up most of my energy everyday.
I had to record everything that I take in and out too. I had to decide to rely on adult diapers or to use catheter. My pride and frustration was about to explode. It took one year with the help of my doctor to understand my body and find the way that I was most comfortable with.
My legs are paralyzed, and my weight kept on dropping. Physically and mentally I was a mess.
I could never get to my balcony anymore; my pretty tiles had handles on them; my velvet dresser chair became an obstacle for my wheel chair, so it had to go.
My porcelain tea cups were too high for me to reach. I can no more decorate my table exactly the way I want to.
These were nothing compared to how I had to pretend everything was alright with in front of Andrew. He was two, and he was just ecstatic mommy wasn’t leaving him every two to three months. I played and laughed with him everyday, until he sleeps.
But it was a pretty pass.
I have witnessed him tumbling down the stairs in a friend’s house. I was right there! There was nothing I could do except to bite my lips from screaming out loud. Hundreds of things that could have happened to him, and my SOPs zoomed through my mind in the flick of seconds. Samuel ran over to pick up our frightened baby, Andrew held out his arms to me. I held him tight, checked him from head to toe. I thank the Almighty that he was not hurt.
Sometimes, I sat on my recliner instead of the wheel chair. Andrew wanted me to follow him to his room and play. I took a piece of my heart and threw it to him, he catches it, pats his own heart. “Mommy is following you now.” My two-year-old walks always without any complaints.
I tried to be the super-mom that I wanted to be, I took Andrew downstairs to play by myself. When I tried to catch a balloon that flew away, I fell head over heals. Andrew was in so much fright that he refused to go anyway alone with me for the longest time.
I suck everything up in the morning, my tears, my frustration, my sorrows. Once Andrew falls asleep, the waterworks ran like tap water, it wouldn’t stop. No one can comfort me, no one could help me, not even Samuel. We have been fighting this battle for years side by side, we were not ready to face the defeat.
I wasn’t ready to talk to anyone about this. I can’t lose my sanity in front of Andrew. He deserves a better mommy and a lot more happiness.
My blue print for being a Mother was to be there for my kid: race in the park, lie on the grass and gaze at the sky, teach him how to swim. When it’s time for school, I want to be friends of his friends, I am going to run for the coolest mom in the whole class.
But now, life isn’t pretty any more.
All good that’s left, was Andrew.

Happy 4 year anniversary to this special video that changed my life! This video is especially meaningful to me because it was my first art video and it went viral coincidentally on my birthday - on January 24th 2012. I'd like to think it was God or the universe's way of pushing me to stop worrying if my art was good enough and start sharing my work instead. :)
I remember feeling a little down the day I turned 25. I thought I'd have everything figured out by then but I was just fresh out of university and more confused than ever. I thought about how at 20, I told myself I'd spend more time painting so I could end up with an art project or exhibition by the time I graduated. Throughout architecture school I never really painted much though, from the fear of my work not being perfect enough. Or maybe it was because of the amount of assignments I had. There was always some sort of excuse. As I lay in bed that night, I told myself that that was to be a year of taking new risks, and of doing things I had not done before, or else I'd be feeling the same way at 30.
In 2011, I got out of my comfort zones. I moved to Shanghai to work as an architect, worked on a bike business idea with my friend Joel, and in the weekends, worked on my art. Some projects failed along the way. In December that year, Joel flew to Shanghai to work on our bike business and he made the mistake of shooting this video. The bike business never took off because this video went viral. My video was uploaded around Christmas, and view counts jumped from the hundreds to half a million in weeks. It blew my mind, it made me want to disappear, it made me feel really silly ("Painting? With a basketball? What was I thinking?!"), but a part of me was also amazed by all that was happening - I was getting recognition for my art. It wasn't a private little project I was sharing with friends and family anymore!
I'm so glad I chose to put myself out there despite my doubts and insecurities. My faith is a big part of my life and I've learned to trust this journey in the past 5 years - all the high highs and the low lows. One of the most rewarding things is how this has allowed me to meet so many new people over the years. I'm thankful for the people who have reached out to guide me, and for people like you guys who continue to support my work. I love how diverse we are from age to culture to location and it made me see that we all want the same things - love, belonging, good relationships. I started creating art with objects to encourage others to see the beauty around them - even in the mundane and ordinary, and I love seeing that look of wonder and possibility in other peoples' eyes. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life and be able to bring joy and meaning into lives I cross paths with.
I'm overjoyed that my past five years have been the most amazing journey of my life so far. I've also learned that life does not have to be all figured out and that it's OK to wander. Life is a constant journey of learning and discovery.
I'm excited to enter into a new decade of my existence (if you've read till this point you know my age now lol!! You guys are loyal fans haha...and YES I CAN'T BELIEVE IT TOO). I know it'll be amazing...a different kind of amazing!
<3
