Hesed we shalom,
Brothers and sisters.
Today(21st of September 2014) in conjunction with the Feast of St.Matthew the Evangelist; holy Apostle and Holy Martyr, we, the Instaurare Omnia in Christo(IOC) Movement, celebrating the celebration of the 51st Anniversary of Independence Day of Sovereign State of Sabah(August 31st, 1963-2014).
Therefore,
On behalf of IOC Movement, unworthy me wish this very Nation to whom our lips kiss her soil and in here that unworthy me urge every Catholics to be faithful and loyal to their Nation; a Homeland and Motherland of their ancestors.
Sovereign State of Sabah is one of a Borneo States after Sovereign State of Sarawak, and the Sovereign State of Brunei. North Borneo(former name for the Sovereign State of Sabah) was a British protectorate under the sovereign North Borneo Chartered Company from 1882 to 1941. After World War II, Jesselton(former name for Kota Kinabalu) has replaced Sandakan as the Capital City. (British) North Borneo achieved her Independence on 31st of August 1963 and the declaration of Independence was declared in Keningau.
With Jesselton(now known as Kota Kinabalu) as her Capital City and Catholics live in peace and harmony. However, many of our soft hearted people of the Sovereign State of Sabah are living in uncertainties of their future. That is why today, unworthy me on behalf of IOC Movement Administrators Board and the whole members would like to address this issue critically. For we could not involve or live in falseness but must confide in truths which is flows from the Truth; the Lord Jesus Christ.
On this auspicious day, unworthy me would like to direct us to our Holy Apostle St. Matthew the Evangelist . He was the tax collector; the publican, for Rome and literate enough to write the Holy Gospel . When St. Matthew heard the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ: “Come, follow Me” (Mt. 9:9), he left everything and followed the Holy Savior. He was a witness to the Suffering, Death, and Resurrection of the Holy Savior, and of His glorious Ascension into Heaven.
Publicans who collected taxes from their countrymen did this with great profit for themselves. Usually greedy and cruel people, the Jews considered them pernicious betrayers of their country and religion. The word “publican” for the Jews had the connotation of “public sinner” and “idol-worshipper.” To even speak with a tax-collector was considered a sin, and to associate with one was defilement. But the Jewish teachers were not able to comprehend that the Lord God had:
“…come to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance”
~Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 9:13.
In the order of the books of the New Testament, the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew comes first. Palestine is said to be the place where the Holy Gospel was written. St Matthew wrote in Aramaic, and then it was translated into Greek. The Aramaic text has not survived, but many of the linguistic and cultural-historical peculiarities of the Greek translation give indications of it.
Therefore,
Unworthy me would like to highlight the need for every Catholics especially in Sovereign State of Sabah to start choose between truths or falseness.
If you my brothers and my sisters will take the decision to adhere to the Truth and all truths; especially on the matter of Catholics to be truly faithful to their Motherland; the Sovereign State of Sabah, then do not be afraid. Repentance; even if you are not at wrong, is the key to your freedom to embrace truths and the Truth.
O how peaceful this painful decision of yours because you will be persecuted greatly. Being Catholics and following the Call of the Lord Jesus Christ to kiss the Holy Mother Church is already very painful and yet unworthy me is calling all of you to add more incoming miseries into your life, O my true brothers and sisters.
It is an irony that a public sinner that is cheating people as part of his life(before he is repented) like St. Matthew, was the one that has been Called and he answered the Holy Call to be His Holy Apostle, and to add more to it, he is the one that need to write all truths about the Truth to be the Most Holy Gospel. It is how wonderful that his heart is beating heavily; full with his love to the Lord Jesus Christ, because the truths that he will relay to us. Yes, he has written it down to be passed to the generations and generations of trustworthy Catholics while he himself is not a trustworthy person before he is repented.
Thus,
Will you my brothers and sisters to be the one that will be condemned to Hell(Sheol) by doing what is filthy in the eyes of the Almighty God which is being a hypocrites(Concealing the truths and suppressed it)?
O how tender of the hospitalities that you will provide to the people that were coming to the Sovereign State of Sabah. How charitable of you that has covered the wound of foreigners, O how blessed is your hand to feed the hungry foreigners with your local food as if you are meeting with the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of their faces. Do not hesitate to uphold your Motherland the Sovereign State of Sabah while you are still being generous and forgiving but make sure that you my true brothers and sisters do not easily taken down by falseness and tyrannies.
No Catholics in Sabah and Sarawak is to be excused to love and uphold the Holy Tradition, Holy Scriptures and Holy Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Only by being truly obedience to the Authority of Papal Bull of the Apostolic Constitution; Quo Primum, and motu proprio; Summorum Pontificum that we could restore everything in the Lord Jesus Christ to its rightful place; especially the Traditional Latin Mass. It is also a non-compromise obedience that true Sabahan must be loyal to their Motherland; the Sovereign State of Sabah. Being loyal means that you must uphold Justice for your Motherland and speaks truths in actions and deeds for the Sovereign State of Sabah.
Thus,
IOC Movement wish and greets all of Sabahan and Catholics who is living freely in Sovereign State of Sabah with our prayers and conviction. May the Most Holy Trinity; One God, will preserve all of you from any harm and danger, and then additionally increase your zeal in defending your Motherland's Dignity and Sovereignty.

John Paul J. Nick.
Supervisor,
IOC Movement.
