Dimapur, Feb. 9: Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) called upon all the believers and churches, irrespective of denominations, to pray for peace and order to be restored in our land again.
Stating Nagaland is in crisis, it said the current political situation and social unrest in the State is a matter of great concern.
‘If there is ever been a time to drop to our knees and pray for our State it is now. We pray because, in our own wisdom and strength, we find ourselves inadequate to face the challenge before us,’ NBCC statement said.
NBCC, therefore, called upon all the believers and churches, irrespective of denominations, to pray for peace and order to be restored in our land again.
In a time like this, NBCC appealed to pray for our leaders so that they would have the foresight to make wise decisions, taking into account future generations. It also asked to pray for open minds and listening ears so that our leaders would be opened to wise counsel.
‘Pray that truth and justice will prevail over political correctness and tolerance, both in our own lives, in our culture and in our government,’ NBCC urged.
