China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) made global headlines in 2021 when it sustained a temperature of 70 million °C for 1,056 seconds, five times hotter than the Sun’s core. The goal is to replicate the fusion process that powers stars and create a future of limitless, clean energy. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion produces no greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste. Although it is not yet commercially viable, milestones like this bring us closer to a world free from fossil fuels. Could fusion energy be the key to solving our global energy crisis?

On July 16, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao met with Roy Jakobs, Chief Executive Officer of Royal Philips. The two sides exchanged views on topics including Philips’ cooperation with China and government procurement. Wang Wentao noted that China is the world’s second-largest consumer market and the second-largest importer. President Xi Jinping has made it clear that China’s door will only open wider, and the country’s policies on utilizing foreign investment remain unchanged and will not be changed. The Chinese government keeps improving the business environment, promotes the construction of a unified national market, protects intellectual property rights in accordance with the law, and strongly boosts domestic consumption. Wang expressed the hope that Philips will continue to deepen its presence in the Chinese market and strengthen investment and innovation cooperation with China. Wang emphasized that unilateralism and protectionism are disrupting the international economic and trade order. He encouraged Philips to play its role as a member of the industrial community and continue to push the Netherlands and the European Union to support free trade, uphold the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core, and push for the stable development of China–Netherlands and China–EU economic and trade relations. Roy Jakobs expressed strong confidence in the Chinese economy. He stated that Philips will increase its R&D input in China, facilitate the setup of its China R&D headquarters and the launch of new products, actively participate in the China International Import Expo and the consumer goods trade-in programs, and serve as a bridge to promote China-Netherlands and China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

You don’t understand Vietnam. You don’t understand Asia. And frankly, you don’t understand power. You speak of "destiny" like some overconfident schoolboy mistaking American suburbia for geopolitical insight. Let me say it clearly: Vietnam is no one’s vassal. Not China’s. Not America’s. Not anyone’s. We didn’t spend a thousand years resisting Chinese dynasties just to roll over today. We didn’t shatter French colonialism and bleed the most powerful military in the world to death in the jungles of Quảng Trị just to be told what our "destiny" is by someone who thinks Canada is the model for sovereignty. You confuse proximity with submission, and trade with dependence. That’s your first fatal error. Vietnam shares a border with China—yes. But we also share something deeper: A memory. Of war. Of peace. Of resistance. Of cooperation. And unlike you, we understand the psychology of coexisting with power. We know how to draw lines—how to defend them when we must, and how to keep the peace when it serves us. Your comparison to Canada is not only lazy—it’s insulting. Canada gave up its spine long ago. Vietnam never had the luxury. We learned to survive when survival meant fighting giants. Canada outsourced its soul to Washington. Vietnam forged its own. You think strategic autonomy is impossible? You’re already behind. Vietnam already has it. We trade with China. We trade with the U.S. But we serve neither. We hosted Biden. Then we hosted Xi. Then we hosted Putin. That’s not vassalhood. That’s leverage. That’s multipolarity in motion. You're stuck in a binary world—one where you're either a satellite or a superpower. That worldview is collapsing, and you don’t even see the cracks. And here’s the part that stings the most, isn’t it? Vietnam, a country bombed into the Stone Age, is walking into this new world with more dignity and independence than your empire ever had. We don’t need 800 bases to feel strong. We don’t need to sanction the planet to stay afloat. We don't need to threaten war to be heard. We just stand. And we endure. While your empire panics over TikTok and builds trade policy out of fear, Vietnam navigates history with memory, clarity, and will. So no—we are not destined to be anyone’s vassal. We were forged by fire. You were softened by comfort. And as the empire you worship drowns in its own debt, division, and delusion, Vietnam will still be here. Anchored by history. Sharpened by struggle. And free by choice. Don’t mistake survival for subservience. Don’t mistake proximity for control. And don’t ever mistake Vietnam for a pawn. We were born in resistance. And we don't kneel. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

I don't know why @rickawsb wrote his article in Chinese but here's an unfiltered English version of it:🧵👇 The “GENIUS Act” and the New East India Company: How USD Stablecoins May Challenge Fiat Systems and Nation-States By: Rick AWSB “This is an extremely sophisticated asymmetric strategy. The U.S. is exploiting its adversaries’ weakest point fear of losing control to build its own moat. I. Ghosts of History: The Digital Return of the East India Company History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. When Trump happily signed the GENIUS Act into law, what came to mind was a powerful image from history: the East India Companies of the 17th and 18th centuries commercial behemoths granted sovereign powers by their nations. These were not mere merchants, but corporate sovereigns, blending soldiers, diplomats, and colonizers. This Act, though appearing like a regulatory tweak, in truth marks the chartering of 21st-century “New East India Companies” stablecoin issuers gaining legitimacy through U.S. law. It's the beginning of a transformation in global power dynamics. 1a. Charters of a New Power Four centuries ago, the Dutch and British East India Companies (VOC and EIC) had the power to hire armies, mint currency, make treaties, and wage wars. Their state-backed monopolies defined the age of globalized sea trade. Today, the GENIUS Act essentially charters modern-day equivalents stablecoin giants like Circle (USDC), potentially Tether, and possibly tech giants like Apple, Google, Meta, and X. No longer rebellious crypto startups, they are now pillars of U.S. financial strategy. Their “routes” aren’t sea lanes, but 24/7 borderless financial rails the new arteries of global commerce. 1b. From Trade Routes to Financial Rails The old companies controlled physical routes with cannons and forts. These new “digital East India Companies” will control global value flows. If a U.S.-regulated stablecoin becomes the default for cross-border payments, DeFi, and real world asset trading, its issuer gains immense soft power defining compliance, freezing assets, and setting financial norms. 1c. Symbiosis and Conflict with Nation-States Like their historical predecessors, today’s stablecoin giants may evolve from tools of national strategy to independent power centers. Initially supporting U.S. hegemony and countering China’s e-CNY, they may eventually act in ways that contradict U.S. foreign policy, especially as their shareholder interests diverge from state agendas. The U.S. may face tension between control and dependence, possibly leading to future updates to the stablecoin legal framework. II. Global Monetary Tsunami: Dollarization, Deflation, and the End of Non-Dollar Central Banks The GENIUS Act is more than a charter. It’s the start of a monetary tsunami. The collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971 laid the groundwork. In the coming era, people in fragile economies may prefer stablecoins over failing national currencies, leading to hyper-dollarization and devastating local deflation. 2a. The Ghost of Bretton Woods Under Bretton Woods, the dollar was tied to gold and all other currencies to the dollar. This created a paradox (Triffin Dilemma): to support global trade, the U.S. had to run deficits which eventually undermined confidence. Nixon severed the gold link in 1971, ending the system. The dollar was reborn as a fiat instrument backed by U.S. strength and network effects. Now, U.S.-approved stablecoins elevate this to a new level bypassing national banks and reaching every smartphone directly. 2b. Hyper-Dollarization In places like Argentina and Turkey, people flee inflation by using dollars. Stablecoins remove friction: no banks, no capital controls, no physical risk. From Vietnam to Dubai, and Yiwu to Hong Kong, stablecoin usage is exploding. When inflation rises even slightly, capital doesn’t “flow out”. it vanishes instantly into the crypto ether. This threatens national currencies with obsolescence. 2c. Deflation and the Disappearance of State Power Once hyper-dollarization hits, governments lose: • Seigniorage (printing money) • Monetary policy tools The result: plummeting local currencies, collapsing tax bases, and failed governance. The GENIUS Act, combined with tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), may accelerate this collapse. 2d. White House vs. The Fed Domestically, a conflict may brew. If a Treasury-controlled stablecoin system emerges, it could sidestep the Fed, allowing the Executive Branch to exert monetary influence directly especially in election years or sanction enforcement. This may trigger a crisis in faith over Fed independence. III. The 21st Century Financial Battlefield: U.S. vs. China and the “Free Financial System” Externally, the Act is a strategic maneuver in the U.S.-China rivalry an ideological and infrastructural clash. 3a. A New Financial Iron Curtain Like the post-WWII Bretton Woods institutions (IMF, World Bank), this new “free finance” network powered by USD stablecoins is open, efficient, and diametrically opposed to China’s model of state-controlled finance. 3b. Permissionless vs. Permissioned China’s e-CNY is fully controlled, running on private ledgers, with full traceability. The U.S., in contrast, backs permissionless blockchains (Ethereum, Solana). Developers worldwide can build freely, with the U.S. acting as “credibility anchor” for the USD. This asymmetric strategy attracts innovators and users, while China’s surveillance model alienates them. It’s a contest China structurally can’t win. 3c. Bypassing SWIFT: A Dimensional Attack China and Russia attempt to sidestep SWIFT. But stablecoins render that effort obsolete no middlemen needed, no banks required. The U.S. isn't defending old infrastructure; it's creating a parallel game with new rules enforced by code, not treaties. 3d. Winning the Network Effects War The fusion of the dollar with crypto’s innovation creates an exponential network. Developers and users will flock to where liquidity and freedom are highest. Compared to the closed, RMB-centric e-CNY, the open USD ecosystem will dominate globally beyond China’s limited spheres of influence. IV. The De-Nationalization of Everything: RWA, DeFi, and the Collapse of State Control Stablecoins are the Trojan Horse. Once users hold stablecoins, the next step is tokenizing all assets, stocks, bonds, real estate, IP into on-chain digital instruments, detaching them from national jurisdiction. 4a. Stablecoins as the Trojan Horse Governments welcome regulated stablecoins as safe crypto. But in doing so, they unintentionally onboard users into crypto ecosystems one tap away from Bitcoin, ETH, DeFi, and privacy coins. Platforms like Coinbase become one-stop crypto supermarkets. USDC is the gateway drug leading users toward more freedom, higher yield, and greater autonomy. 4b. RWA: Assets Escape National Jurisdiction Imagine: • A Chinese team tokenizes app ownership • Traded on a permissionless DeFi protocol • An Argentinian buys it with stablecoins No bank, no SWIFT, no borders. This isn’t just new payment rails it’s a parallel universe outside the Westphalian order. When capital de-nationalizes, so do capitalists. 4c. The End of Traditional Finance Banks, brokers, and payment systems exist to mediate trust. Blockchain replaces this with public, tamper-proof records and smart contracts. Functions replaced: • Lending → DeFi protocols •Trading → AMMs • Payments → Stablecoin transfers • Securitization → RWA tokenization V. The Rise of Sovereign Individuals & The Twilight of the Nation-State When capital flows freely, assets ignore borders, and power shifts to networks and private giants, we enter a post-national age where the individual becomes sovereign. 5a. The Prophecy of The Sovereign Individual In 1997, Davidson and Rees-Mogg predicted that the Information Age would make power more mobile than ever. The state would be unable to tax knowledge and capital that exists online. Stablecoins, DeFi, and RWA make this real. A person can now: • Hold global assets •Move capital instantly • Stay outside any one jurisdiction States lose grip. And their ability to tax or control fades. 5b. The End of the Westphalian System Since 1648, the world has been ruled by nation-states. But if productive individuals live in cyberspace, state borders become meaningless. States may resort to coercion predatory taxes, surveillance accelerating elite exit. Eventually, they may become "nanny states" serving only immobile, less wealthy citizens. 5c. The Final Frontier: Privacy vs. Taxation Today’s chains are transparent. But zero-knowledge tech (ZKPs) will bring complete anonymity. Combined with stablecoins, this creates an untouchable financial black box breaking the state’s final tool: taxation. Conclusion: The French Revolution replaced monarchs with nations. This revolution led by stablecoins and AI replaces territorial sovereignty with network and individual sovereignty. It’s not just a transfer of power it’s a decentralization and de-nationalization of power. We are witnessing the breakdown of an old world and the birth of a new order that grants individuals unprecedented freedom, but also unleashes unprecedented chaos.

Know Thy Enemy 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Sun Tzu, a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher, once said, "Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated." Knowing ourselves alone is like a blind archer shooting arrows at a target, hoping one will hit the bullseye. Knowing ourselves and our enemy is like an archer with eagle-eye vision, and with every arrow he shoots, he will surely hit the bullseye. Therefore, we cannot walk naively through life, blind to our enemy, knowing nothing of him except his name. Ignorance is not bliss. In the book of Hosea, GOD said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children."  Who is our enemy? Anything or anyone that turns us away from GOD is our enemy. Therefore, as children of GOD, we cannot be as innocent as doves but also as wise as serpents to know who our enemy is. We cannot be like Eve, knowing good and not evil or knowing light and not darkness. She is not at fault because she has not taken the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil during that time to know the existence of evil. She only knew a friend but not a foe, good but not evil, that could turn her fate for the worse. Hence, she was as innocent as doves. We cannot be like that because within us is the knowledge of good and evil, so we must be more than innocent as doves but as wise as serpents to know the traps of evil. We cannot be living in a fool's paradise, thinking that GOD will save us from the hand of the devourer. He will not since He did not save Adam and Eve from the deceit of the Serpent that led them into suffering, pain and death. Why would he make an exception for us? To beware of our enemy, we should never let anyone sweet-talk us into believing anything that seems too good to be true—it probably is. GOD's actions speak louder than His Words. Unless those gifts are under goodwill, everything of GOD, protection, provision, blessings, or promises requires us to walk on the tightrope of obedience. Even though Eve is ignorant, naive, or impressionable, she could not have fallen into the Serpent's lie if she had walked tightly on the rope of obedience. God's protection and provision are only found in obedience, and anything out of obedience is out of His protection. Hence, once Adam and Eve disobeyed, they had to leave Eden away from GOD's protection and provision. GOD did not show them leniency even when they were first-time offenders deserving a second chance.  Once fallen, the second chance only came a few thousand years later in the form of Jesus Christ. Even if we are given a second chance, it does not exempt us from being disobedient to do as we wish. We still have to be obedient in the face of temptations. Even if Jesus's love covers all sins, it does not mean we can continue sinning. Anyone who continues to sin shows he is unrepentant. Forgiveness requires a repentance heart and demands us to turn over a new leaf. If there is no change and transformation, it will mean that there is no repentance. In the epistle of 1 John, John states, "No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him." That implies that knowing GOD will teach us to stop sinning, which is where forgiveness comes in. If we keep sinning, then we need more than forgiveness; we need tolerance. But GOD is willing only to forgive sin, not tolerate sin. Coming back to what is written in the book of Hosea, we are destroyed by a lack of knowledge because we have rejected knowledge. At face value, we are blockheaded to reject knowledge, but in reality, our fallen nature refuses to accept the things of GOD. It is written in the Epistle of Galatians, 'For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so you do not do what you want.' Therefore, no matter how hard we endeavour, as long as our flesh is alive, we will refuse to learn. It is not that we do not want to, but we cannot because the flesh, our gatekeeper, has a natural rejection of the law. The law of GOD goes in one ear and out the other. Metaphorically, we are like a filter that absorbs all evil influences and sieves out all good. Through the prophet Hosea, GOD reprimanded the Jews for being blockheaded, but it is not a Jewish problem but a universal one. Anyone who wants to become a child of GOD will face the issue of incompatibility of their fallen nature with GOD's. They are like oil and water, immiscible. Indirectly, GOD is saying through the prophet Hosea that whoever rejects the law is incompatible with Him and cannot be His children. Therefore, anyone holding on to his flesh becomes an enemy of GOD and cannot be his child. In today's context, many believe that once their sins are forgiven, it means that God has accepted them as who they are—fallen beings. Do not be deceived. If this is true, then many things cannot add up. If the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins and transform our fallen nature, then Jesus would not ask us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Jesus's blood can only wash away our sins but not transform our fallen nature. When Jesus said, "It is finished." And bowing His head, He yielded up His Spirit. It does not mean that, with His death, we are free from our fallen nature. Our enemy hopes we will believe that. Jesus meant He had finished his mission on earth. He conquered man's eternal death so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. If Jesus's death is enough to put to death our fallen nature, then it is redundant for Jesus to ask us to deny ourselves. That is to say, Jesus has done His part, figuratively, to bring us to the water. We must drink the water ourselves. If we want to belong to Christ Jesus, according to the Epistle of Galatians, we must crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. No one can do that for us except ourselves. We hold the last piece of the puzzle to salvation as we have the final say - to crucify or not to crucify our flesh. Now, standing between God and us is our common enemy, the fallen nature. With Christ's death on the cross for our sins, God no longer holds against us for the old debt, which is committed by our fallen nature. God is willing to let bygones be bygones. However, bygones will never be bygones if we keep sinning by listening to our fallen nature, keeping the beast alive. In the epistle of Romans, Paul states, 'For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.' This verse refutes the catchphrase of 'once saved, always saved.' No one is saved until they put to death the deeds of the body. That is to say, if there is no death of our fallen nature, we will not be saved. When we believe in GOD, He expects us to be transformed. A confused mind is the devil's playground. Therefore, we must be clear of the changes between the old and the new covenants. Jesus came to fulfil the old covenant by His death on the cross, bringing about the new covenant. If we are not clear about the change, then we will be like Eve, falling into our enemy's deceit. To understand this change, we must understand Paul's writing by understanding who he is. Jesus recruited Apostle Paul after He had resurrected, in a spiritual encounter, where Jesus appeared to Paul in an audible voice. Paul is unlike Jesus's twelve disciples, who among them were fishermen, tax collectors and peasants. Paul was a Pharisee, a student of Gamaliel, a man held in great esteem by all Jews. Therefore, Paul was not a nobody like the rest but someone proficient in the Law of Moses. He wrote and contributed about fourteen out of the twenty-seven epistles of the New Testament, having a dominant no lesser than Jesus's disciples. Instead of selecting one of the twelve disciples whom Jesus closely taught to champion the post-Christ movement, GOD chose Paul, who had never met Jesus and didn't claim to have met him. Paul is similar to Moses, who was taught by the best of the Egyptian court, and Paul, who was trained by Gamaliel, recognized as a Pharisee doctor of Jewish Law. Through Moses, GOD established the Old Covenant and through Paul, the New Covenant. Many of Paul's writings are challenging to comprehend and are unlike those written by Jesus's disciples, who are narrations of Jesus's ministry. Paul's writing expounds on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. When we put to death the deeds of the body, we are no longer under the law but under the Holy Spirit. Jesus's death parted a way for those who believe in Him to walk out of the bondage of sin like GOD parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to leave the bondage of Egypt. Unless we are willing to sin no more, we will not move out of the bondage of sin. The good news is the door remains open and will be opened forever to anyone who wants to leave their sin behind. The contention is not about the open door but who is exiting through the door. Many praise GOD for His goodness for the open door, but no one is leaving their Sodom and Gomorrah because they love sinning too much to leave. Therefore, no matter how good GOD is, it has nothing to do with anyone unless he wants to stop sinning. After evaluating all that Christ has done by His death on the cross, Paul still warns us that if we live according to the flesh, we will die, implying that the flesh is still alive in us, residing in the still soft voice, leading us into the way of evilness. Jesus's death or blood has no detrimental effect of it. It is still much alive, working its way to our death. It is like some cancerous cells working within us that cannot be removed by any means except by the Holy Spirit. Only those under the Holy Spirit have the power of the Holy Spirit to put to death the deeds of the body by sinning no more. Only then will they live. Many do not know that our enemy is well hidden within us, the first one to greet us in the morning and the last one to wish us goodnight, always talking to us and helping us make decisions. Those who listen to it become futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Paul describes them as having a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. The blood of Jesus did not put a stop to the evil influences we are hearing. As long as we are willing to listen, it will speak. Once we listen, we become accomplices in crime, like Cain, who killed his brother Abel. Our enemy is much nearer to us than we think and more influential to us than we know. He is not the big bad fox lurking in the forest but the coaxing voice that, as our second nature, justifies us to sin. When we look at the broken lives, broken relationships, or broken bank accounts of many, we know many have listened to its foolishness and treated it as wisdom. We cannot outsmart our fallen nature because it has evolved through time to understand the weaknesses of men. Therefore, we need to stand firm on GOD's commandments and not depart from them. Only then can we not fall into destruction. However, despite our best intentions and determination, it will be challenging because we do not have what it takes to be better than our fallen nature. We are like David fighting Goliath, sure to be defeated. We are, as Jesus commented, 'Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.' Jesus could have given us a better answer as to how to combat the weakness, but He did not. What He said is as good as asking us to wait and see that we do not enter into temptation. It is not that He does not want, but it is not under His purview but the purview of Paul to introduce the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. Without this, the work of the Trinity would not be complete. Only then will we be like Samson in an incident where suddenly, a young lion came roaring at him, and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. We will be tearing apart the roaring lion, our devour. Prayer: Thank you, God, for giving me the Holy Spirit to empower me to defeat my enemy and for opening my eyes to see how easily my enemy can infiltrate my mind and heart—just as easily as the Serpent is able to access the Garden of Eden to talk to Eve. Only when I study your words carefully will I not be like Eve, deceived into believing something that is not true. Continue to teach and guide me through your Holy Spirit so that I will not fall into the devil's trap and sin against you. Amen.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Our decisions are not good enough. As the heavens are higher than the earth, GOD's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. As much as we want to walk in wisdom and understanding so as not to walk foolishly, there is a limit to our sound judgement, keen discernment and deep comprehension. When we make good decisions, we move forward to success, and when we make bad decisions, we move backwards to failure. Many times, we move backwards more than we move forward. GOD has made known to us that we are nowhere knowing how to make good decisions. If we can, then there is no need to trust Him with all our hearts and wait for GOD to act. We are capable of acting for ourselves. Between GOD's wisdom and our wisdom is between heaven and earth. That is to mean the wisest of us are still fools to Him. To say it offensively, we are retarded compared to GOD. We do not do what we should; instead, we do what we should not. Instead of listening to good advice, we listen to bad. In Jesus's opinion, we do not know what we are doing. We are like blind men in the darkness, groping about and not prospering in our ways. To sum it up, we are nothing more than blind, confused and mad. Despite stating so clearly, only those with wisdom will agree, while the foolish have no idea. We have the minds of sheep and not a serpent. GOD understands we have the minds of sheep and not of the Serpent. If Adam and Eve were shrewd enough, they would not be deceived by the Serpent. The fact that they had been deceived proves that they did not have sharp acumen. In other words, Eve did not know she was like a fish caught in a cruel net or a bird trapped in a snare, so she was ensnared in the evil that was beyond her to free herself. Many might think that Eve was plain unlucky to be deceived by the Serpent. She was not unlucky but targeted. No one goes to war without a strategy, and the Serpent was no exception. The Serpent knew that GOD's Word was not alive in Eve because GOD did not speak to her directly. When GOD told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it, he would surely die, He told it to Adam alone because during then Eve was not created. She was created after GOD warned Adam. We have to question the rationale of GOD's action. Why? Won't it be better if GOD were to warn both of them together? What is the purpose of telling one and not the other? We become the weak link when GOD's Word is not alive in us. What Eve knew was secondhand information from Adam. That became the weak link that caused the downfall of man. It was like the Telephone or Chinese whispers game in which messages are whispered from one person to another. Errors typically accumulate in the retelling, resulting in an erroneous message being passed down. Eve lacked the rationale behind the forbidden fruit, so the Serpent could confuse her understanding. Adam could have been the second line of defence to the fall since he was given the word. He did not uphold GOD's Word because of his love for his flesh and bone, and he accommodated her decision. Eve was his missing rib, and only with her, he felt complete. Therefore, whenever she went, he would follow, and whatever she did, he would do likewise. Man was not made to be alone as God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper." Ironically, the helper GOD gave Adam, besides other things, helped him to fall into sin.  It is no one's fault that many are like Eve, having a compromised understanding as GOD's Word is not alive in them. Therefore, they can be misled or deceived. Many times, GOD is oversold like some commodity which is not Him. Like some marketing products, GOD is packaged and promoted as a miracle drug of great promise. Unbeknown to the naive, GOD does not give out big promises without terms and conditions unless those are common to all. Nothing is as easy as it sounds. Like Eve, we are unable to know the exact meaning of the words once they are stretched, twisted, and rearranged. Flesh-pleasing decisions If not Eve, we could be like Adam, who followed his instincts rather than the Word, pleasing his flesh instead of GOD. Before the fall of man, Adam's flesh was Eve. To please her, he listened to her despite GOD's warning. As they were one flesh, whatever she wanted was whatever he wanted. Listening to her more than to GOD, he ate what she fed him, which resulted in his downfall. After the fall, man's flesh is no longer his woman but his fallen nature. Therefore, whoever listens to his fallen nature will fall as Adam did. After the fall, man and woman no longer exist as one entity. They became separate entities, with Adam giving Eve her name, signifying her autonomy. She was no longer nameless, and neither was Mrs. Adam but Eve. She stood by her own identity and style of thinking. That moment was like an independent day, where Eve gained independence from Adam to signify man's independence from GOD. Man's decisions: Lose-Lose From the actions of Adam and Eve, we can derive two decision-making patterns. One is like Eve, who tried to be smart with reason and logic but could not outsmart her deceiver. The other is like Adam, who disregarded the facts and figures to follow the desire of his heart, living for what feels good. Not knowing what feels good might not be good at all. Either think like Adam or Eve; no one is a winner. That is the sad fate of man; his mind cannot go through intense mental gymnastics to recognise the truth. Therefore, many are, like Eve, easy targets for scams and deceits and fall away from the truth. As much as they cannot trust their mind to reason out correctly, they also cannot trust their heart to feel the right thing to do.  GOD's decisions: Win-Win If we could realise how impaired we are in our minds and hearts, we would be shaking our heads. Adam and Eve are a representation of us, and through them, we know we cannot rationalise well. Therefore, many suffer from making the wrong decisions due to bad judgments. Hence, we need GOD to guide us in making good judgments and sound decisions. For this reason, GOD wants us to trust in the LORD with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding; in all our ways, we must acknowledge Him, and He will make our paths straight. In short, we must not trust ourselves in heart or mind to make proper judgments. As long as we surrender our will to GOD, acknowledge that He is omniscient, and await His decision, He will lead us in the right direction. Hence, we should not make rash decisions based on FOMO (fear of missing out). Instead, we must seek GOD out in all that we do. Even young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Prisoners to bad decisions Everything might sound straightforward. It is not. The complexity of the matter is that even though we know what we must do, only a few know how to act accordingly because no man is free to do as he wishes. We are all prisoners of our fallen nature. Simply put, we are the prisoners of our addictions and compulsion nature where there is no escape. Therefore, the saying - a leopard never changes its spots. That's the reality that many cannot understand. We cannot change ourselves, and neither can we change others. If we cannot agree with the statement, we can try to change our family members and see the futility of our efforts. The only way to change a leopard's spots is to de-skin it and give it a new coat. That is where Jesus comes in. Jesus is the new coat, and He will provide us with His coat of righteousness. If we want to change, we must endure the anguish of being, metaphorically, de-skin. In other words, we must be circumcised, not physically but spiritually, by cutting away the filth of the fallen, sinful human nature. Only then will we be transformed to be GOD's new creations. We will not be a leopard that never changes its spot but a lamb without blemish. The condition for good decisions To put it another way, without the circumcision of our flesh, we are not meeting the terms and conditions of GOD's contract, making His blessing invalid to us. He will not be our help in times of need. Remember, when we say the sinner's prayer, we agree to turn from our sins and invite Jesus to come into our hearts and lives. To turn from our sins means we will sin no more. To invite Jesus to come into our hearts and lives means it is no longer I live, but Christ lives in me. Our lives will no longer be under our control but under Christ's as our Lord. To do that, we must die for Christ to live within us. We must crucify our flesh. If not, we cannot fulfil our part of the agreement with GOD, making the contract with Him void. Therefore, many Christians are holding onto a non-binding contract because they refuse to crucify their flesh. GOD goes by the book even if He is love. Only when we fulfil the contract will it take effect. Only then will we be the brides of Christ. If not, we will be the foolish virgins that Christ will deny as His. First step of good decision: Stop sinning Getting the first step right is paramount, and without it, nothing we do for GOD does matter. To put it differently, if not, all that we do for Him is a waste of time. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and that step is to sin no more. Only when we master our fallen nature will we sin no more than we can move towards GOD. Those who cannot stop sinning will forever be at point zero, the starting point. If we persist in sinning, then we will be on a journey of a thousand miles in the wrong direction, away from GOD.  Stop sinning sets us free from blind spots. No one ever plans to fail by doing the wrong thing, and no one ever intentionally sin so that they will go to hell. Like the rich man who died at the same time as Lazarus, he did not know that he would go to Hades and be in torment. If he had known, he would have done things differently. Therefore, he wanted Father Abraham to send Lazarus to his father's house to warn his five brothers of the existence of Hades. Many are like the rich man, not knowing what they are doing until it is too late. They cannot see the reality of Hades, evil and sin because all these words do not exist in their vocabulary. They are people of the world, having the mindset of it and not seeing anything beyond that. Therefore, many are like frogs in a pot, not knowing that they are slowly being boiled to death. Living in sin is not repulsive under our fallen nature but instead enjoyable, just as promiscuity is more pleasurable than faithfulness. Why have one when we can have many? Therefore, GOD makes us suffer under sin, so we will know the consequences of sin and seek Him. However, many will not learn, living like fools in paradise. Only when we seek Him will He open our eyes to the knowledge that sin is hideous, repulsive and grotesque. It not only turns us into beasts but also robs us of a fulfilling relationship with our soulmate, GOD. There is nothing to gain from fooling with sin but everything to lose. If we are rich, we might be like the rich man, realising too late that his wealth could do nothing for him in Hades. It would have been better if he had been a beggar like Lazarus. Being poor would deprive many of the opportunities to sin and every opportunity to seek GOD and ensure their salvation. Therefore, no one should despise the poor but instead, be good to them. After everyone's death, there will be a turn of events, like in the story of the rich man and Lazarus; the rich will end up in Hades suffering, and the poor will be in paradise enjoying. If the rich had been good to the poor, the poor would pray night and day, seeking GOD for their salvation. Would GOD not listen to those who mourn for the salvation of their benefactors? The solution: Blindfold ourselves and trust GOD Unless GOD is willing, no one escapes the blindness that plagues the world; no amount of fallen wisdom, understanding, or intuition will do. Therefore, it is futile to trust our hearts and lean on our understanding to lead us to a straight path. It is like an ant trying to move a mountain. As natural men, we will not be able to comprehend the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are nonsensical to us, as ants cannot understand rocket science, and we cannot understand higher wisdom that leads to life because they are spiritually discerned. We need to trust GOD by blindfolding ourselves and follow Him wherever He leads. Then, we can safely say we always make good choices and are on the journey to eternal prosperity. Prayer: GOD, I acknowledge that you are the Lord of lords and the King of kings. I submit my mind and heart to you. Lead me and guide me according to your way so that I will find eternal success. Amen.
