Dimapur witnessed a large gathering of believers at the opening of the Nagaland Revival & Healing Festival 2025 which began this evening at the State Stadium, DC Court.
Organised by The Gatekeepers, the event will run until December 4, with Apostle Ankit Sajwan of the Family of Lord Jesus Christ, New Delhi, as the speaker, alongside Pastor Monika Sajwan.
Delivering his message, Apostle Ankit said he had not come to represent Christianity, but to represent Christ, who is the very foundation of the slogan “Nagaland for Christ.”
He said that viewing Christianity merely as a religion is “an insult to Christ.” Apostle Ankit further noted that Jesus never said, “If you believe in me, you will become a Christian.” Instead, he said, Jesus taught that those who believe in Him would become sons and daughters of God, emphasising the Kingdom of God rather than religious labels.
He expressed concern that many young people today are growing up in communities where the essence of Christian faith is missing. “If you do not have the Word in you, you cannot live a victorious life,” he said.
According to the organisers, the three-day programme will include dedicated healing services for the sick and aims to bring together believers and leaders from various communities “to seek God’s presence and experience His restoring work.”
Additionally, two exclusive seminars with Apostle Ankit will be held on December 3 and 4 at The Lighthouse Church, Dimapur designed to equip and strengthen believers.
During the opening day, Dr Naomi Zhimomi and Pastor Edward Odyuo of The Gatekeepers led the service. Rev Moses Murry, General Superintendent, Assembly of God, NEI delivered the greetings.
The gates will open at 2:00 pm, followed by a praise fiesta from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. The healing and revival service will begin at 5:00 pm. Entry is free for all attendees.
