Temple desecration and prayer

Savenaca Vakaliwaliwa, Suva

I believe the social media has a part to play in this temple desecration (FS 20/12) but lately, there is a political move within some Christian Churches who are preaching for a change in Government, come the next General Election and its first agenda is to return Fiji into a Christian State.

Winston and so called other religious and demonic forces at work in Fiji are being blamed on our current Secular State.

Lest we forget, when our PM was deciding a name to call his Party, he came up with FijiFirst, meaning all Fijians to be put first and on a level playing field, that no race or religion will be favoured by his Government, therefore a secular state. Today, everywhere you go in Fiji you can hear Christian Churches praying about the coming election, just like before the 2014 election, for God to choose our ruling Government.

The landslide FijiFirst Party victory in 2014 is therefore God's will, including the secular state.

The Bible does not teach that we should force Christ into the lives of non-Christians, but it does teach that when God was born a human being on that first Christmas some 2000 years ago, he came to live and die for them too!

Let us stop this non-Christian act of temple desecration but let us fast and pray for the character of Christ to be formed in us and continue in sharing the Gospel to all unbelievers, for a witness (Matt.24:14).
