Nagas has slept enough for many decades. Many of our beloved brothers and sisters had laid down their lives for the Nagas. Many of them had lost their lives with their own consciousness of TRUTH in the schism.
It is true that Nagas has been hunting for the TRUTH for many years but could not find. Jesus said if we are his disciples then we’ll know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set us free (Jn. 8:31-32). Today God has revealed us (Nagas) the TRUTH through His wisdom. God gives wisdom and the wisdom gives knowledge and understanding (Prov. 2:6). 18th Sept. 2010 is the turning point for the Naga’s. No more retrospect rather look forward and March forward for the bright future of Nagas. We are not divided; all are under one umbrella and One in Hope. Be strong and of good courage, fear not for the God is with you (three leaders). Remember, “we (Nagas) all are with you (3 leaders), when we are with you, You (3 leaders) are with us (Nagas) and when you are with us everything is with us.” Let us not forget when we are in Christ, we are a New creation…old has gone and a New has come (2nd Corinth. 5:17).
Israelites were wandering in the wilderness for four decades. We the Naga’s have been wandering in the wilderness over six decades. But today through this reconciliation coordinated by Christ we the Nagas come to believed that Our (Nagas) prayer for the last many years is fulfilling and it must be fulfilled. The three leaders (NNC/FGN, GPRN/NSCN, NSCN/GPRN) coming together on the “Highest Level Summit” gives a great nationalism to the entire Nagas.
Enmity, favoritism, breaches and hostility are under our feet through reconciliation. Reconciliation is an act of unquestionable privilege. God appointed Christ as the minister of reconciliation to the mankind so also God has appointed FNR to be the minister of reconciliation among the Nagas.
I strongly believed that the journey of Our Bright future has begun on 18th Sept. 2010. I should say our honorable leaders have taken a step of “Stepping Stone to Success” through Christ. Being a Naga I would like to suggest for all of us (Nagas) “Keep going…Keep going…Keep going” until we reach our destination and it is my prayer for the Naga as well.
I also would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude towards the FNR for the initiative. You (FNR) are really the ambassador of Christ for the Nagas. May God continue to bless you and continue to flow His blessing from you throughout the Nagas.
Remember Nagas…the Old has gone and New has come” Stand firm in the faith, be a man of courage, Be strong, Do everything in LOVE.” (1 Corinth. 16:13-14)
