Reconciliation Effort

 

We had a Zoom meeting on May 21. Among those who attended were the Chairman of RFM Malaysia, Dato Chua Jui Meng, RFM Deputy Chairman Edmund Chan, Apostle Jackie Mare, President of Heal the Land Ministries, South Africa and Chairman of RFN Singapore Apostle Wee Tiong Howe, RFN founding members, Rev Dr Elisha Chieng, Rev Dr Paul K P Ang, Rev Pauline Phua and Ps Andrew Tan. 

The meeting was to discuss the reconciliation effort, a request made by Ps Terence Jedidiah Poh of Asia Revival Centre, Penang through Apostle Jackie Mare to conduct a Zoom meeting on May 23rd for the purpose.

On the meeting of May 21st, we have unanimously made a collective decision which I have written to Apostle Jackie as follow:-

Dear Ap Jackie Mare,

I thank you very much, my beloved sister in Christ, for your heart to bring reconciliation between Pr Terence (PT) and I, the aggrieved party. Just to let you know, I don’t have any bitterness against him or anyone. I’ve concluded long ago that the unseen enemy is behind all these as this is not the first incident, nor will it be the last. 

AOF is an end-time power ministry, and the devil knows it. He will go all out to hinder this ministry and discredit it. We know the schemes of the enemy. The devil can even use God’s elect to work for him and we are not ignorant of it. The Bible has ample examples of such betrayals. The devil only works through those who want to do his bidding. 

I can meet PT and he can apologize, and I can accept his apology in love, but does this resolve the matter completely? The matter is more than just a cursory apology and acceptance. It is a spiritual matter that requires counselling and ministry accountability. If the root cause is not identified and dealt with, it will recur and cause more harm.

What Dato Chua shared on May 21st resonates with me. When one denounced the genuine work of the Holy Spirit and attributed it to the work of the devil without due diligence in checking, it is an alarming matter. One must also ask, did our Lord Jesus try to reconcile with those that said that His work is of the devil? No. It is blasphemy. Only God can deal with him. I’ve forgiven him. But I constantly asked myself, can I forgive, when the Word of God said that it is an unpardonable sin? I’m not a theologian, and I hope that someone can enlighten me? It is a complex matter not to be rushed through. 

The ministry of AOF is Holy Spirit’s fire and it is not strange fire. To have me accepting PT’s apology without him fully accepting AOF’s ministry is of God and not of the devil, I will compromise my integrity and more seriously, agreeing with him in attributing the work of the Holy Spirit in AOF ministry to the evil one. I do not want to unintentionally agree with his accusations by my acceptance of his apology, if he does not fully retract, point by point, the accusations that he made against AOF, I don’t see the purpose of having the meeting. 

I do not want the meeting to be a session where I have to clarify what I said in my sharing. I can see it coming by him asking you to ask me what I meant when I mentioned “Star Wars”.  For your info, I borrowed the term from the late Dr Morris Cerullo when he mentioned that there will be coming a time, that “Stars Wars” are coming and “the force of Almighty God is yours”. I was illustrating the point that our God will give His people supernatural weapons to fight the enemy of our souls in these last days. Our God the Almighty God is akin to “The force” in Star Wars. 

In summary, I will only meet him if he will fully retract what he said against my ministry. He must specifically say that he fully retracts what he said against AOF and I; he was wrong to say that AOF and I minister “strange” or “profane” fire. He must categorically say that he believes that the ministry of AOF and Rev Dr Paul Ang is of God and is biblically sound; that Rev Dr Paul Ang is a man of God who fears the Lord. If he agrees, his retraction and apology must be posted publicly on all the social media he has posted his accusations against AOF and I.

Whether he agrees or not, I forgive and bless him as I’ve done. We have spent much time on this, and we will move on if he is not ready to fully retract his accusations. When he is ready, we may revisit the case. There is much to do, and we should not be distracted. We will have to repair the damage done and to slowly bring healing and unity to the body. AOF will have to work doubly hard to gain back confidence in its ministry. May God grant you enthusiasm tempered with discernment, wisdom, and strength in this matter. 

Shalom!

Rev Dr Paul KP Ang
