Anglican Mission in Canada and Richmond Emmanuel Church have launched MISSION 113 Campaign starting January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. We have received the baton from Archbishop Yong to continuous the call His Grace received in 1993 to bring more souls to God's eternal Kingdom! Please watch the two videos below to know from Archbishop Yong how Jesus used him to bring MISSION 113 to the Anglican Diocese of Sabah and beyond:

“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 46:8-11, Deuteronomy 18:1-20:20; Luke 9:28-50; Proverbs 12:10)
Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Psalm 46:8-11
he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”
Luke 9:28-35
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Luke 9:28-35
The past three to four years many people asked is it God's work to make the whole world upside down with COVID-19 and all kinds of disaster? Why God is so cruel to kill so many people, to allow so many people to suffer?
No one is God, no one can answer those questions on behalf of God!
But, today's Psalm 46:8-9 tells us that when this world is being brought to a state of desolations by wars or other sufferings, it is God's work, even though we might never understand! What we need to do when those time come is to "Be Still"!
If we are willing to "Be Still", then God's Name will be glorified, God will be with us and we will be in the most secure fortress and refuge, His own fortress!
The wonderful thing is that we can have a better grasp from today's Luke 9:28-35 to understand what does "Be Still" means. Because "Be Still" is the secret of how Jesus could be with His Father, received the Father's direction and power!
When we follow Jesus' secret every morning and that is "Be Still"!
"Be Still" is, you do not need to do anything. The only thing you need to do is just like Jesus to talk to Mose and Elijah in person, somewhat like we FaceTime someone far away. Well, even better, because Mose and Elijah were actually there in person!
It is no more in past tense that Jesus reading the Old Testament, but in present tense to listen to what Moses and Elijah said representing the Law and the books of the Prophets!
We can see that in today's Luke of how Abba Father talked in present tense to Jesus, Peter, James and John! And, this is "Be Still"! Jesus was teaching his most beloved three apostles, Peter, James and John what "Be Still" really means. May be the other nine apostles were not teachable yet!
And, Jesus is teaching you what "Be Still" really means! Are you teachable?
This is the secret for us to be restful physically and spiritually, this is the secret for us to be with the Lord, to receive instruction from Him and His power to do things He commands us to do every day!
Are you willing to follow Jesus' model to be still each morning to rest in the presence of God?
Reflect on these questions: 1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now? 2. What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus, to be holy - that is to do what Jesus wants you to do and not to do what Jesus wants you not to do? Family Corner: Find an opportunity to share with your family the importance of today's message.
