246. Blame AVCF but pray?

update 4.45am on 1st Nov 2013 - All saints day

Dear Rev Moses,

Thank you very much for the prayer items over the 'attack' on Indah Anglican Church in Sandakan.

In a surprise move when a byelection in Sungai Limau, the St Mark Anglican church in Butterworth is visited by PAS top leaders for a dialogue with Christians.

Would that surprise move be an opening for the gospel now?

Lets All Saints' day be really meaningful for all in ADOS and especially for All Saints' Cathedral, KK starting another century of service for Christ expecting a great miracle of revival today for Christ's sake.

Keep on praying unceasingly.

God bless all,

Joshua

to me

Brother Joshua,

Greetings.  Again, thanks for your concern.  Allow me to suggest some prayer points for the situation.  We ought to:

1. give thanks that no one is physically hurt and that all properties are intact, nothing lost;
2. pray that God may frustrate the plans of those who wish to exploit the situation for their own mileage - political, spiritual, etc.
3. pray that God may help the police in their work on this matter;
4. pray that God may protect Rev Alan Lim and the whole church from further disturbances; and that the work of the gospel in that area may flourish unhindered;
5. pray for the perpetrators.  They are in need (though they may not acknowledge it); and that the church, even Indah Church, may reach out to them, and people with similar needs, with the love of God;
6. pray that the work of the gospel in the whole diocese be protected from the Evil One;
7. pray for ourselves that we may seek to glorify Him as we help one another to "grow in every way and be more like Christ" Eph 4:15.

"For all the saints who from their labours rest,

Who Thee by faith before the world confessed;

Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blessed,

Alleluia, Alleluia!"

Happy All Saints' Day, brother.  Be in touch.

In fellowship,

Moses



Dear friends,

When you read this latest item of attack on the Indah Anglican Church and no more beautiful (Indah) when the church wall is defaced or viewed another angle it is "Writing on the Wall".  We are not told of the provocative words in the graffiti and I believe this is the first time our Anglican church is under such an attack.  So without knowing the provocative words, let the Spirit of God leads us into prayers and unceasing prayers as any such attack is now a burden for all Christians and Anglicans.

ADOS has not being under attack but AVCF is under "attack" for known serious wrong done.We cannot take it lightly for the attack on IAC representing Anglican Churches in Sabah and beyond.

Now we all witness the attack on Indah Anglican Church but God's church is still beautiful or Indah no matter what had happened but a pressing message is for us to uphold the body of Christ.

So on 1st November, as an All Saints' Day, our corporate prayers would be answered accordingly

Would appreciate that someone post a common prayers for us as a guide?

Joshua

Dear bro Joshua,

Greetings.  Tq for your concern.  It's Indah Anglican Church being reported here.  IAC is a 'shoplot church'; in the midst of a few eating places frequented by all sorts of people.  Last Sunday, we found some graffiti on the outside wall of the church.  A police report was made immediately.  They have come since, interviewed a few people and took some statements.  We are leaving them to do their investigation.

  We don't think it is anything serious.  Let's hope not, anyway.  Maybe just expressions of frustrated young people over some failed relationships.  But nonetheless, thanks again for your concern, brother.

In fellowship,

Moses

update  at 7.39pm 30 Oct, 2013 -Which church is this?  Good Shepherd???  Who are so daring to do it inside the church compound if not an internal conflict?  Please enlighten Anglicans?  Don't stir up fire by blaming others as it is too dangerous?  What are the provocative words that can be so provocative to Anglicans? Has this got anything to do with the present BISHOPGATE?  Who is the next Bishop of Sabah if AVCF is forced to resign for all the good reasons?  We all want answers???  Joshua

Vandals behind door markings at S’kan Anglican church

KOTA KINABALU: The doors of the Anglican church in the east coast Sandakan along with two vans were vandalised and police are on the trail of the vandals.
Sandakan police chief Asst Comm Rowel Marong said the culprits had scratched both vehicles and deflated the tyres on Saturday, according to a report in the Star.
He said they also wrote “provocative” words using permanent marker pens on the vans as well as the door of the church located about 10kms from downtown Sandakan.
Rowell said police are probing the incidents as vandalism.
