KOHIMA — The 'youth week' organised by the youth department of Chakhesang Baptist Church Ministers' Hill, Kohima (CBCMHK) on the theme “Examine your faith” concluded on Sunday coinciding with the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) and the Chakhesang Baptist Church Council’s (CBCC) 'Youth day of prayer' at CBCMHK.
Speaking on the theme, associate pastor of CBCMHK, Asüne Swüro, said that believers need to inspect closely whether they are living in faith and examine their motives, actions, and current condition of their hearts. She added that believers should avoid things not approve by their faith and take care of the spiritual health.
“Examine your faith and works through the perspective of God,” she said and urged them to abide in God as without the help of God ‘one cannot examine themselves.’
The youth director of CBCMHK, Rakodu Nukhu, while delivering message in the afternoon devotional service, challenged the youth members to examine the covenant that they have made with the Lord in their life.
Maintaining that faith is based on the covenant, he told them to base their faith on the covenant that is through the blood of Jesus Christ to be able to stand in faith.
"Covenant is our light and we are called to carry this covenant forward," he said.
He cautioned the youth against basing their faith in other things and challenged them to base their faith through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Earlier, senior pastor of CBCMHK and pastor in charge of youth, Rev. Dr. Vevo Phesao, led the congregation in the prayer for youth.
About 250 youth members participated in the youth week, which commenced on July 27. The week-long event witnessed wide varieties of activities and culminated with band competition.
All the six youth groups namely Bethlehem, Beersheba, Bethel, Bethabara, Bethany, and Bethesda actively took part in the activities.
Some of the upcoming events of the youth department included prayer and fasting programme, ladies service, youth marathon, youth revival, and sports fellowship. Over 600 youth members have been enrolled under the youth department so far.
