We the Nagas are saying "Nagaland is for Christ". That means the land and the people belong to Christ. Besides this claimed, the Naga people have made a covenant to send ten thousand missionaries for evangelizing the world in 1956.
However, it is well known to every individual and people around us. But how the Naga people are doing currently after promising to fulfil the great commission that has been given by Jesus Christ. It’s now about a half century that the Nagas made a commitment to send ten thousand missionaries.
As far as our knowledge is concerned it’s not enough to claim verbally "Nagaland as a Christian state", and we ought not to be proud of our commitment to send out ten thousand missionaries, but, when are we going to fulfil this.
But it is the desire of God for the Nagas to act as His faithful children and demonstrate to the world that Nagaland is really a Christian state and burning for the lost souls of Christ. But when we see our people today it is contrary to our commitment.
Most of the Nagas think that God is only in the church and not outside the church. We act one thing in the church and different in outside. This is not character of a born again Christian. God hates superficial Christians.
We are holy, righteous, perfect on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday worship services and right after coming out of the church we act like devils. Does God please such worship? No, my comrades in Christ. God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Hence, the Lord warns to stop worshipping Him with a heart of Hypocrisy. God corrected Israel’s worship style through Amos the prophet, "Take away from me (God) the noise of your songs.
For I will not bear the melody of your stringed instruments but let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a might stream" (Amos 5:23-24) Oh! The inhabitants of Naga inhabited areas let us allow God’s justice and righteousness to flow like rivers in our homes, villages, societies and churches. Only justice and righteousness of God can bring true liberty to our nation.
When we meditate deeply, we the Naga are like Israel. The people of Israel forgot God after experiencing signs and wonders in the wilderness, the promise land of Canaan and received bountiful blessings in their lives but they forgot their deliverer, saviour, provider, mater, which was Almighty God. Therefore, the Lord spoke to Israel"---I have nourished and brought up children. And they have rebelled against me. The ox knows its owner and the donkey its master’s crib; but Israel does not know.
My people don’t consider" (Isaiah 1:1-3). Likewise Jesus is telling us to know Him personally as your owner of your life, house and wealth. Besides, let’s consider to seek him first in our lives.
Our loving God is calling you to come back, backsliding Nagas; he wants to heal your spiritual sickness (Jeremiah 3:12-13). Christ is standing at your door to enter.
O backsliding Nagas, allow Jesus to enter and dwell in your life and this will give you full satisfaction, joy and peace that you have never experienced before. This is the right time for us to experience the joy of salvation.
Dear Naga brothers and sisters, et us take counsel from God, make plans according to the leading of the Holy Spirit so that the vision of Nagas will come to pass.
It is the time to stop to go down to Egypt (Isaiah 30:1-7). Egypt is symbolically speaking of sin, wickedness, unclean, worldliness, etc. As we came out from Egypt once we the Naga should never go back to Egypt, and move forward to the way of eternity where there is full of peace, joy and life.
The theme of our Crusade is to "Restore the first love that we lost in between God and us" (Rev2:4).
This is a golden opportunity to every one of you because God’s anointing people are going to deliver the message of God with fire and their message will really transform your life.
Let’s join our hands, our hearts together and pray fervently for great awakening to occur in our land as God sent great awakening in America during the time of John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards. As John Knox prayed God to safe his countrymen, otherwise to take away his life. His prayer goes like this "Give me Scotland or let me die".
Thus, God sent revival and saved the people of Scotland in a miraculous way, so also God has been telling Nagas to rise and shed tears for the lost brethren to come back to God.
Dear fellow- Christians, let us awake, if we are sleeping; this is not the time to sleep and let us arise, if we are spiritually dead. Christ will give us light and to shine forth for the glory of God (Eph 5:14). If you lost the first love with Jesus.
This crusade is for you to restore. So, don’t miss it, come and be healed through this crusade. (Agencies)
