We understand that Dexter2020 is seeking prayer for Brian Phe and Poh Yew, who have been promoting veganism and combining religions, leading others astray within St. Andrews Cathedral. Let us address their issues, pray together and encourage them to align with biblical principles.
Firstly, it is crucial to acknowledge that our prayers should always be directed to God in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can access God the Father and it is only by His name we can be saved. As it is said in the bible, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace," Ephesians 1:7 (WEB). Also, "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' " Romans 10:13 (WEB).
Now addressing Brian Phe and Poh Yew. God warns us not to add to or take away from His word. Combining religions and forcing others to follow unbiblical practices is a form of idolatry. Brian Phe and Poh Yew are not promoting unity in Christ but rather confusion and division. They have made veganism an idol, placing it above or equal to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We must pray for them to see the error of their ways. This is a clear example of what the scripture means by, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Colossians 2:8 (WEB).
Regarding veganism, the Bible tells us, "They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer." 1 Timothy 4:3-5 (WEB).
Therefore, God created all food to be received with thanksgiving. We should not let dietary preferences cause division among believers. As it says, "One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables." Romans 14:2 (WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Brian Phe and Poh Yew. Lord, they have been blinded and deceived, promoting veganism as an idol and causing division within St. Andrews Cathedral. We pray that You open their eyes to see the truth of Your word and their actions. Help them to understand that their practices are not honoring to You. Convict them of their stubbornness and pride.
Guide them back to Your truth in the Bible. Lead them to see that they are not to combine religions and thus causing confusion. Help them to know it is only by the name of Jesus we can be saved. Father, help them to see that all food is to be received with thanksgiving.
Surround them with godly counsel and correction in the Bible. Thwart their efforts to spread false doctrine and lead others astray. Unite St. Andrews Cathedral under Your truth and Your truth alone. Help them to come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. May the unbelievers or pre-believers not be cheated or deceived.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Encourage Brian Phe and Poh Yew to study God's word diligently and seek His truth. Remind them that God desires unity, not division.
