A Christian woman in Malaysian politics - YB Hannah Yeoh


A Christian lady in Malaysian governing body - YB Hannah Yeoh
We have heard so many in a final couple of years about a supervision as good as mercantile transformation programs, as good as many people put their goal in such programs to boost as good as enliven Malaysia. However, a Bible says which there is usually one thing which can enliven Malaysia, as good as which is righteousness alone. Not monuments, not infrastructure, not a vibrant economy, not a great sounding slogan, yet usually righteousness alone. And unless you deal with issues related to righteousness, Malaysia cannot be exalted. It will usually be a cosmetic shift which is being implemented.

Due to a crime in Malaysia, many immature people feel which they cannot consequence a decent living here. They have spin undone as good as have left a country. Many immature Malaysians have spin adults elsewhere. The sin of crime is such a disgrace to them which they do not wish to stay behind in Malaysia as good as be related to this nation anymore. There have been many parents, even Christian parents, who have in one way or another, speedy their kids to go abroad to find improved jobs. However, God has a devise for us here in Malaysia, as good as His devise involves exalting Malaysia in South East Asia as good as additionally globally.

Hannah's Experience in Politics in a final 5 years
Hannah never had any aspiration which involved politics. At a age of 28, she assimilated DAP in PJ Utara generally to support her crony Edward Lim. Her role up to 2008 was to hope for for food as good as drinks for a opening of Tony Pua's service centre. She does not know many leaders or domestic issue! s. Like many immature people, she was usually concerned about her pursuit as good as serving in church. She did not know a difference in between a Member of Parliament, a State Assemblymen as good as a Local Councilor. If you do not know a difference in between these, you have to find out so which you will not opinion for a wrong chairman as good as for a wrong reasons. Hannah assimilated governing body since she longed for to quarrel crime as good as race-based politics.

Why politics?
> Evil triumphs when great group do nothing.
> Fight corruption
> Fight race-based politics

Hannah was saved as a Christian in 1998, as good as during which time her concentration was upon Bible studies as good as serving in church as good as in a Overseas Christian Fellowship in Australia. Since then, her enterprise was to preach God's Word, to go everywhere as good as attest of God's firmness in her life.

In 2002, after completing her law degree in Australia, Hannah came behind as good as did her chambering for 9 months locally, as good as was admitted to a High Court in Malaysia. She made skeleton to lapse to Australia, since similar to many immature people, she did not suffer Malaysia. The 9 months of chambering was tough, with unequivocally low pay, as good as she longed for to conduct off Down South.

Hannah motionless to do her CLP in Tasmania so which she can work in Australia as good as leave Malaysia for good. She was additionally in a attribute behind afterwards with her boyfriend in Australia, as good as similar to many immature people, she usually longed for to be with him. She longed for to work in Australia as good as offer there, consequence some income to send it home to her parents.

But God had an additional devise in mind. You can run divided from God's will, yet you can never run divided forever. If your heart is to find God's will, God will close doors as good as have sure which you travel in a right plan. If you have ! been con fused as good as wish to be sure of God's devise for your life, urge as good as go on to find God's will, as good as God will close doors which have been not meant to be. God did which for Hannah.

Six months later, after completing her CLP in Australia, Hannah cumulative a great pursuit as a warn in a eminent organisation in Tasmania. All her friends from alternative fields have Permanent Residence (PR) yet no job. She was a complete opposite. She had a pursuit yet a supervision refused to give her a PR. She became unequivocally bitter as good as angry. She thought she could get a PR as she cumulative a job, yet a supervision pointed out which there were many alternative Australian law graduates yet a job, so since should it be given to a Malaysian! girl. So, she had to work difficult to proof herself.

Hannah's employer motionless to finish this conflict with a supervision by withdrawing her employment. Therefore, her mental condition came to an end. She had to come behind to Malaysia as good as face reality; she had to be detached from her boyfriend as good as she mislaid her pursuit there.

As Hannah was upon her way home from a law organisation in Australia, a Lord gave her a verse.
"For you know a skeleton you have for you," declares a Lord, "plans to prosper you as good as not to mistreat you, skeleton to give you goal as good as a future. (Jeremiah 29: 11)
It did not seem to have sense, as she felt which coming behind to Malaysia was a devise to mistreat her. She had to certitude God during which time as good as conform Him. She did not try to open brand new doors.

Sometimes, when God closes a doorway for us, you sit during a close doorway as good as chuck a tantrum, cry as good as moan for months as good as you do not pierce on. We have to learn to get up as good as pierce on. When you select to conform God as good as certitude in His Word, He will perform His promises to you. He is not similar to Man. He cannot lie. When He tells ! you whic h He has a devise for you, to prosper you as good as not to mistreat you, you have to certitude in Him.

From one male he made each nation of men, which they should inhabit a whole earth; as good as he determined a times set for them as good as a expect places where they should live. (Acts 17:26)

You have been not born as a Malaysian by mistake. God dictated for you to be a Malaysian. Unless God privately tells you to move, do not move. Stay behind as good as fool around your part here, as a Malaysian.
Marriage

Hannah got tied together in Jan 2008. Parliament was dissolved in Feb 2008. The afterwards Prime Minister, dissolved Parliament upon Feb thirteen amidst rumours upon a date of a election. Even now, there have been many rumours about a subsequent general choosing as good as people have been speculating a date for a 13th General Election. Just recollect which it can come upon us anytime, so you need to be prepared.

In February, when Parliament was dissolved, Hannah got a call from Edward. Edward told her which DAP asked if she could be upon standby for choosing to be a claimant for Subang Jaya. She consulted her husband, who told her to contend "yes" to be upon standby, as good as to hope for a assembly to find out some-more about what being upon standby meant. They spoke to a parents, as good as both Hannah's father as good as father-in-law pronounced which right away is a time to do something for this country. A assembly was arranged, as good as Hannah's father secretly prayed which God would close a doorway if this was not His plan, yet if it was God's will, it will be confirmed which unequivocally day which a chair would be hers to competition for.
Lies
Hannah received her confirmation during a meeting, as good as in two weeks she had to hope for for a debate in Subang Jaya. Up to which time, she still did not know a difference in between a roles of a Member o! f Parlia ment, State Assemblymen as good as a Local Councilor. She did not know many about Subang Jaya, even yet she had lived there all her life. Therefore, she had to investigate a issues, as good as be wakeful of what is happening. She had to investigate a obligatory administration as good as what they championed as good as fought for, as good as in turn, confirm what she was starting to champion or quarrel for a people of Subang Jaya.
It was a formidable two weeks before nomination day, as good as she felt unequivocally anxious. She was not used to walking in to a bustling grill to shake up up everybody's hand, relocating from list to list to ask people to opinion for her as good as give her a chance. She had to go to a pasar malam to shake up up a traders' hands as good as everybody's hand. Outside schools, she had to wait for for a parents to pick up up their kids, as good as palm out leaflets to them, asking them to opinion for her. She additionally had to speak during ceramahs, something which she hated since she did not think which she was a great speaker. It was unequivocally daunting for her to speak for a initial time during a ceramah to debate as a claimant for Subang Jaya. During which time, a distinguished people from her party came to Subang Jaya to validate Hannah as a candidate.
Almost immediately, people proposed spreading lies about Hannah upon a internet, observant which she has no time to offer a people as she usually got married. Hannah additionally vowed during which time which she would not have any personal attacks upon her opponent. It was utterly tough, yet she motionless which as a Christian, if she did that, she would not be glorifying God. She will challenge them upon their policies, yet she will not approach any personal attacks.

Many people who had known Hannah for a long time came to speak during her rally, together with her father-in-law, her school teachers as good as even her pastor. By a beauty of God, she cumulative a two-thirds majority, a! s good a s she won with a margin of 13,851 votes.

God's Provision
After spending a lot of income upon her wedding, Hannah as good as her father were left with nothing much. They rented a house during a start. When she was told to run a campaign, all they could afford was RM700, meaningful which by convention, they indispensable during least RM100,000 to run a successfully campaign. They did not have a money, so they usually committed it to God in prayer. God sent two Christian elders from two opposite churches who were businessmen to support their campaign. They supposing a sizeable volume to her yet awaiting anything in return. With which money, they could imitation T-shirts as good as buy some-more flags. Donations proposed coming in as good as they raised usually sufficient to about RM100,000. God is unequivocally faithful. If He calls you to do something, He will provide.

When Hannah found out which she had won a election, she had churned feelings about it. She was half-excited as good as half-sad since she knew which hold up was not starting to be a same again. But this was in fulfillment of a prayers of a saints. Intercessors have been praying for years for God to lift up immature people as good as to send them in to a government. It has happened in 2008 as good as God will do so again in a coming elections.
Principle of Influence in Politics
These have been a principles which have guided Hannah, which could be used by all.

Lead diligently
We have opposite gifts, according to a beauty given us. If a man's present is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to a needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him oversee diligently; if it is display mercy, let him do it cheerfully. (! Romans 1 2:6-8)

People do not respect quiescent leaders. This relates to all areas. There is no shortcut. God expects us to work. Many politicians appear usually during elections to get votes, as good as after elections they disappear to fool around golf as good as travel overseas. They hardly have time for a people. As a Christian politician, you have to be different. You have to offer diligently. You have been a servant first.

Pray yet fail
Then Moses pronounced to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here."(Exodus 33:15)

Hannah has attempted starting upon for months to offer similar to a Martha, as good as forgot to be a Mary during a feet of God. She ended up unequivocally dry as good as frustrated. She has learned to urge as good as rely upon God a way Moses did. It is vicious to urge as nothing functions yet prayer. She claims which this is unequivocally helpful, generally when you face an indignant or antagonistic crowd.

Honour your Word
Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' as good as your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from a evil one. (Matthew 5:37)

Therefore this is what a Lord says: "If you repent, you will revive you which you may offer me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people spin to you, yet you contingency not spin to them." (Jeremiah 15:19)

Many people cannot certitude politicians since they think which politicians have dull promises. Hannah is unequivocally aware of this as good as she would discuss it a people which she will try her most appropriate yet she cannot have any promises. Politicians lose their credit when they distortion or have dull promises. So it is unequivocally vicious which politicians be clever with what they contend since they will be judged by their words. You cannot shift your stand.

As a politician, you have to conduct complaints. Hannah can improved understa! nd Moses ' plight after receiving thousands of complaints each month around email. Yet, by being a chairman in authority, you additionally have opportunities to encounter a needs of people, to caring for a sick as good as feed a poor.
Delegate
Have them offer as judges for a people during all times, yet have them move each formidable box to you; a elementary cases they can confirm themselves. That will have your load lighter, since they will share it with you. (Exodus 18:22)

If you wish to do many things for God, you cannot do it all by yourself. You need to nominee a work. This relates to all areas, together with corporations as good as ministries. Do not try to bear all a burdens upon your shoulder. Moses understood which when his father-in-law told him to widespread his load by delegating duties. Realise which you cannot do it alone.

Invest in a young
Train a child in a way he should go, as good as when he is old he will not spin from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Focus not usually upon this generation, yet concentration upon a subsequent era as well. Many politicians do not wish to concentration upon a subsequent generation, i.e. a children, since immature kids cannot vote. However, a country's asset is manpower as good as tellurian resources, as good as you need to begin conversion a young. That is since Hannah spends her time with Malaysian students in Singapore as good as additionally East Malaysian students to inspire them to lapse home to have a difference for a land.

Mindful of who you paint as good as no compromise
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ as good as gave us a method of reconciliation: which God was reconciling a universe to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us a summary of reconciliation. We have been therefore Christ's ambassadors, as yet God were making his! seducti veness by us. We implore you upon Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:18-20)

As a State Assemblyman, Hannah receives her charge from a people of Subang Jaya which consist of people from opposite faiths. Whilst she represents all peoples, she knows which spiritually, she represents Christ. In her position, she has to be during temples as good as mosques as good as attend to their problems. She has to be there for her people. Yet, she is aware which she represents Christ, as good as which God is a sceptical God. So while she is there during a temples as good as mosques, she does not do a "popular" thing to experience in a ceremonies or ceremony their gods.

Do not ceremony any alternative god, for a Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a sceptical God. (Exodus 34:14)
In your zealousness to offer God, you contingency not compromise. Your charge in conclusion comes from God, as good as God can regularly take it back, if you have been not serious about worshipping Him.
Seek counsel
Plans destroy for miss of counsel, yet with many advisors they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22)

If you wish to all a time have right decisions, you contingency find counsel. Do not be as good unapproachable to ask for advice. Do not be as good unapproachable to admit which you do not know everything. Hannah seeks warn from comparison politicians as good as pastors.

Mind your own business
Make it your aspiration to lead a still life, to thoughts your own business as good as to work with your hands, usually as you told you, so which your every day hold up may win a respect of outsiders as good as so which you will not be contingent upon anybody. (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

Blessed have been a peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:9)

This does not meant you should be indifferent. This means which you should stay committed to what God has called you to ! do, to d o it good as good as do it faithfully. If it is necessary, speak up upon issues, yet do not be a busybody as good as get involved in sparse governing body or domestic fights. You have to do what you have been called to do faithfully, yet you additionally have to caring for others.

Fear God
The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to a fairness of my hands he has rewarded me. (2 Samuel 22:21)

Who may ascend a hill of a Lord? Who may mount in his holy place? He who has purify hands as good as a pristine heart, who does not lift up his essence to an idol or swear by what is false. (Psalm 24:3-4)

It is those with purify hands as good as pristine hearts whom God will bless. It is unequivocally vicious for a statesman to come before God with purify hands, as good as purify hands meant which you contingency have firmness in doing taxpayers' money. Hannah makes it unequivocally transparent of being under obligation in terms of details of allocation as good as a disclosure of amounts raised in fundraisers.

Family First
He contingency conduct his own family good as good as see which his immature kids conform him with correct respect. If any one does not know how to conduct his own family, how can he take caring of God's church? (1 Timothy 3:4-5)

If you cannot conduct your own family, how do you conduct your duties as a politician? That is since people have fun of sex videos as good as sex scandals involving politicians, since if they cannot be faithful, if they cannot honour even their own wife, they have been many likely to cheat upon you. Remember which method begins during home first, since a people closest to us deserve a unequivocally best, before you go out as good as give to a rest.

The enemy will regularly attack a matrimony as good as a family first, since if he can hypnotize you during home, he can do many some-more damage to your work outside.
For im mature people who have been not yet married, do not go out as good as demeanour for a hold up partner upon your own. Trust God to send a right chairman to you instead. Unless you have someone who can determine with you as good as travel with you in your calling as good as your passion, you cannot do matrimony together. If God had not sent a male who additionally has an seductiveness in nation office building to Hannah, it will be so formidable for her. Therefore, you should wait for for God to send a right one to you.

Delight yourself in a Lord
Take delight in a Lord, as good as he will give you a desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)

Hannah's mental condition to go to Washington, D.C. was over when she looked to a Lord to yield for her. She got to go upon an all-expenses paid outing to America for a care training program, as good as she was there for a inauguration of President Barack Obama during his initial term.

Hannah motionless to demeanour to a Lord to yield for her to go to London as well, as good as she received a news which she will be representing a Selangor state supervision during a Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference. She not usually went to London, yet to a European Union as well, to observe a supervision there.

When Hannah was awaiting her initial child, she additionally looked to a Lord to yield for her caesarian operation. They indispensable during least RM11,000 to operate in a in isolation hospital. They motionless to leave this to God, as good as planned to have a caesarian during a in isolation sanatorium during USJ, which was a cheaper option. Before her record was eliminated from a in isolation sanatorium to a clinic, she went to Skyline SIB during Kota Kinabalu to preach. After she sat down, Pastor Philip Lyn went up upon stage as good as pronounced he felt led to pick up an charity for Hannah's baby. Hannah felt God was murmur to her, observant which this was for her desired caesarian. It was unfit to pick u! p an cha rity of RM11,000, yet during a finish of a collection, they handed her an envelope with RM11,300.

Hannah can attest which in these 5 years, God has indeed supposing for all her needs. She does not miss anything. Obey God, as good as He will perform your needs.

In a beginning of her calling, Hannah was dissapoint since she felt she had mislaid her hold up as good as she could not do a things which many immature people could do, since she was right away a public figure. She wondered if entering in to governing body had been a right decision, since she seemed so far from her longing to be a preacher. But if she had not obeyed, she would not have had a opportunity to preach during churches! , to universe leaders as good as to in isolation schools, similar to she is doing now.

When God calls, conform Him. It may seem which you have been upon a road now, yet stay true as good as obedient, as good as God will unveil His complete devise to you. Stay true to your convictions, even when it hurts, as good as even when it is inconvenient.

Conclusion
It is right away a unequivocally vicious time in Malaysia. If you wish Malaysia to change, you cannot rely upon a leaders alone; shift in Malaysia depends upon a people. You can have a most appropriate leaders to oversee a country, yet if a people complain, if they have been disobedient, if they do not wish to change, if they go on to endure unrighteousness, they cannot come in a Promised Land.

Remember Joshua 5:6-7. Do not let a era pass by. Vote for righteous leaders as good as fool around your part in ensuring which Malaysia is giveaway from crime as good as race-based politics.
