We wish to appeal to all our dearest brothers and sisters of Nagaland that each one use the Name “ Nagaland For Christ “ so dear to your/our hearts.
The name “Nagaland For Christ “ is not a human composition Name. The name is in used because God revealed to various saints and prophets at different times, places and to different tribes. There are several prayer centres /Ministries with this name “ Nagaland For Christ” and these people always pray for the welfare of Naga people. The Prayer Centres and Churches use this Name in prayers that Naga people will able to keep the commandments of God and do God’s will and so on.
The Name is used by Naga National Workers because they have testimonies and God’s messages. Nagas are not the creation of Nature but are God’s children and we enjoy His blessings and creations. There is nothing wrong that Nagas take the Name of God and use ” Nagaland For Christ.” Because there is no other name(s) in whose name(s) we can be saved. (Acts 4:12). As Doctor is very important for a serious patient so also God’s Name/salavation/grace is very important for a worst sinner. The Naga society is sick with different complications and diseases. In this body of sickness, you may be big or small, rich or poor, Holy or filthy but Nagas must all “ Pray without ceasing.” (1Thes.5:17) for one another and for Naga family so that God will heal us all and guide us to move ahead.
It is very sure that there will be some people who use Jesus ’ Name for cheating, stealing, for extortions, for killings etc. If anyone is misusing God’s Name, great danger await them(Ex.20:7;Mt.18:6-7;Mk.9:47-48;Rev.20:13-15),yet, these people too must repent now and stop doing evil(John 5:14; Prov.28:13),However, the times of stumbling, shaking, testing and refining of faith comes to all believers. So while condemning few people, if you happen to hurt the innocent believers who are interceding day and night with tears for Naga people at ” Nagaland For Christ Prayer Ministries, Prayer Centres and Naga believers who dearly used the name” Nagaland For Christ.” in their prayers, with whom the Holy Spirit dwells, you will be badly injured spiritually as it happened to a group of boys at Bethel (2Kings 2:23-24). Jesus said,” … blessed is anyone who takes no offense at Me.”(Lk.7:23).
Nagas are not protected and blessed for the people who misused Christ’ Name but because of the righteous people who earnestly pray to God and do God’s will. Therefore, We wish all our dearest Naga brothers and sisters to use the name “ Nagaland For Christ “ so dear to your hearts and be blessed. There is a great benefit of loving Jesus Name so close to our hearts.
