Pray and FAst on 15th November, 2012 Thursday

It is good to have a fast and pray for ADOS and hope many would join in as we all want to enter the promised land in Sabah as soon as possible without some people.

The day is good as it is a public holiday.

On the venue at STS,  there may have problem of communication especially if many people join in the evening service at STS.  Would we expect a few hundreds of desperate parishioners want to see a quick change?

In that context AS Cathedral ground would be most suitable especially in the raining season.  Do we want to park our cars on the hill roads and walk up in the rain?  Some may want to go there by public transport.

Also is Sabah Theology Seminary (STS) really a neutral ground?  Considering AVCF is so good to find excuse to truncate from STS to save the annual subscription of RM6,000 and also use the excuse to expand ADOS own training school for priests, and hope AVCF would not do it in these few months.  Also AVCF even tried to truncate from the Province of Anglican Church in South East Asia with whatever excuse only known to him.

So why not have it in ASC and also a test to AVCF if he would reject own members?

Nevertheless, the event is as follows:-  thetruthasc.wordpress.com

URGENT: Fast and Pray

Acting on the suggestion of Bishop Ng Moon Hing, the delegates are calling for a prayer meeting on Nov 15 (Thursday), 8pm at Sabah Theological Seminar’s (STS) chapel. The delegates also set this Thursday to be a day of fasting & praying.

The idea is that people fast from after breakfast Thursday on through the day but drinking water as necessary. People are asked to pray throughout the day in their own way but to gather together in the evening for corporate prayer. This gathering will last for about two hours to include devotions, some praise and worship or hymns and of course prayer. People can break their fast either with breakfast on Friday or after the prayer meeting.

We believe that nothing is impossible to God and that He may well have ways of dealing with this crisis that we simply have not thought of. So we want to pray for His intervention to resolve this crisis and bring new life to ADOS.

This prayer meeting will be a special opportunity to draw close to God, to earnestly entreat Him and for like minded Christians who want to see the ADOS crisis resolved God’s way to fellowship together. This will be a prayer meeting NOT a political platform.

On the same note, this blog will implement a one-week extended online fast. Certain activities will be curbed between now and next Tuesday, Nov 13:

• no blog postings for one week (unless there is an urgent news)
• no comments posting for one week

We should all turn to God and seek his face and his ways. Salvation will not come from the blog, but from Him. Spend more time reading his Word instead of the blog, praying instead of gossiping, waiting instead of doing, listening instead of talking. May God help us.
