We understand your concern and will join you in prayer for Ting Poh Yew. Let us first address the biblical principles regarding false teachings and the uniqueness of Christ.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6 WEB). It is crucial to understand that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, not through any other religious practice or figure. The Bible warns us about false teachings and idol worship, "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ." (Colossians 2:8 WEB).
The cult of Yiguandao combines various religious traditions and promotes false teachings, including the worship of Wusheng Laomu and the belief that all religions lead to the same ultimate truth. This is contrary to biblical teachings. The Bible clearly states, "You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3 WEB).
Regarding the issue of vegetarianism, while it is not sinful to be a vegetarian, it becomes a problem when it is done as a form of worship to other gods or as a means of gaining righteousness apart from Christ. The Bible teaches that all foods are clean for those who are in Christ Jesus. "For every creature of 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 4:4-5 WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to pray for Ting Poh Yew. We ask that You intervene in his life and deliver him from the false teachings of Yiguandao. Open his eyes to the truth of Your Word and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation.
We rebuke the spirit of deception and idol worship in his life. Help him to reject the false worship of Wusheng Laomu and turn to the worship of the one true God. We pray that You will expose the lies of the enemy and fill him with the knowledge of Your truth.
We also pray for his dietary beliefs. Help him to understand that it is not what enters a man's mouth that makes him unclean, but what comes out of his heart. Guide him to make food choices that honor You, but not as a means of earning salvation or righteousness.
We pray for the dismantling of the Yiguandao cult and for the salvation of its members. May they come to know the truth of Jesus Christ and be set free from deception.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for Ting Poh Yew and trust that God is able to deliver him from the grip of false teachings. Always remember to test every spirit and every teaching against the Word of God.
