Elimination of Tribalism in Nagaland Should Become a Success Story
Many Nagas are excited that the recent protest against Government policy resulted in Elimination of tribalism in Nagaland. This is indeed a historic that all the tribes of Nagaland worked together in complete Unity.
However, there is a question if all will like this great achievement practically last forever ? If all individuals and tribes are favoring a total elimination of Tribalism in Nagaland; each one should contribute his/her participation towards common good as it happened few days ago, yet in a refined way. Social thinkers, Intellectuals, Christian writers and public leaders should contribute scientific and Biblical methods for shaping a peaceful Naga society.
I, the least one, wish to share that the Elimination of tribalism in Nagaland will become a success story if Nagas fully apply Nagaland for Christ’s concept. If Nagas focus on the teaching of the Prince of Peace, Jesus the Son of Living God; if our minds are set on heavenly rewards; If we think that we are all descendants of the same parents, descendants of Noah, Adam and Eve and firmly believes that our Heavenly Father is our Father. There is a possibility that we will be able to live without tribalism in the land of Nagaland For Christ.
Secondly, “the Spirit of God said on 8th July 2015 that the Nagas are all Israel.” Dessen Tagor of India has a book ” Israel in India,” He wrote that the Nagas are Israel. There are many such prophesies from different servants of God. So if we respect those precious message and think as the descendants of Abraham; if we consider ourselves as the children of God and follow the footstep of Jesus Christ; if you and I reflect the character of Jesus Christ it will be possible.
Thirdly, as we all know that there will be no discrimination in Heaven but all people, tribes, languages, colors, and Nations will rejoice together in the spirit of one family with our God as our Father. We have never heard God, the Father, God, the Son and God the Holy Spirit quarreling. But their unity is eternally perfect.
Therefore, if we Nagas imitate God(Ephesians 5:1) and desire Heavenly life. Nagas will be able to live without tribal issue. We will surely enjoy Heaven on earth.
