Kred Studios - It's a Way of Life

As many of you know, I'm starting my company soon. I'm still in the midst of preparation. Actually, it's more like I'm in the midst of consolidating my thoughts and plans, and feelings and everything that's been mashed into one big gigantic ball about what this is all about.

But in the midst of all this deciphering, some things did fall into place to give greater clarity of the vision ahead.

I came up with the name Kred because it is a nickname which I've used since I can't remember when. The other one that I used since I was in Secondary 3 was this nick called Moo-moo Man (note: this is an important piece of info which you will find out why in the very near future) It was derived from a very old techno song by E.M.F., for those of us who lived through the 90s if you still remember.

It came one morning when I was spending time with the Lord. I was in my room and I told Him, "God...!! Tell me... what do I name the company?? Lord...!! I want to do it YOUR way!!!"

Then there was a clash of thunder and my room shook and the letters K.R.E.D. appeared in a mist of smoke written across the tiny constraints of my room...

NO!! It didn't happen this way!! I'd be freaked out if the Lord spoke to me like that in my room!

In a gentle voice in my heart, He just told me...

"Do it your way..."

"God... is that You??"

"No!!! Impossible!! It must be my flesh!! My heart is evil!!" *stab stab my heart... "NOooo...!! My flesh must have overtaken me...!!! Argh..!!" *continues stabbing my heart.

Well, yeah, it was pretty hard to believe what I heard, but the following Sunday, during our adults prayer meeting, Chao Yang came to pray for me and released these words.

"The Lord wants you to know that through this company, He will fulfill the desires of your heart."

Zun bo??

Anyway, I felt it was the Lord's confirmation to do it my way. Why my way? Cos it's always been a desire in my heart to start a company that does creative stuff and help ppl on how to do it.

So I came up with this slogan: Kred Studios... It's a way of life...

Well, imagine my surprise when I heard that mentioned during the Jackie Pullinger conference where she said, serving the poor is not a set of programs! It's a way of life...

What really struck my heart was when she preached about being set free from the system where hearts are killed by the way we live our lives these days and how it pains the heart of God. The Lord began to open my eyes to what my company will be about. It will be to set free the hearts of many kids out there who are being oppressed by the system of this world. To teach them to live out the desires of their hearts, rightful desires that had been put there in their hearts when the Lord first formed them in their mothers' wombs.

So first, I gotta just believe the Lord, step out and live out my dream so many others can follow too.

It's no surprise then that this Sundays sermon by guest speaker Landa Cope is about living out the desires of our hearts. Often times, we conform to what this society demands of us and we kill our hearts so we can survive. But the sad thing is, when you kill your heart, which is the fountain of where life flows from, you end up a walking zombie. Not only that, you cut off the only place where you can hear God's sweet, tender voice.

I've been holding this dream in my heart for the longest time in my life. I know I've been called to the market place. Twice it has been prophesied over me; once by Ps Khong himself and another by a Prophet from our church. And now, I need to simply obey and step out of the boat and walk, and know that He will carry me... across the ripples of water... to the other end of the shore...

"if God says it, I'll believe it and that settles it."
