Dimapur, May 19 (EMN): House of Prayer Ministry (HPM), Upper Naga Bazaar, Kohima, celebrated its 4th foundation day on May 16 on the theme “God’s solid foundation stands firm” with Dr. Ruokuozelie Pienyü, president of HPM, as the speaker.
Addressing the gathering, the speaker stated that Nagas are privileged to build upon a foundation that was formed by the Creator of the universe adding it is not a system of faith and belief that was formed out of experiment and mistake.
“His plan has progressed as He planned, culminating with Christ, the Cornerstone of the foundation, bearing their sins upon the cross by bringing reconciliation,” Dr. Ruokuozelie stated.
The speaker also asserted that many times over the years, foundations collapsed and decayed and eventually there was a need for renovation. He, however, stated that God’s solid foundation was not built with corruptible materials and there has never been a need for renovation. He said the foundation and the building it supports are as strong today as they have ever been.
In conclusion, the speaker warned the congregation that the world around Nagas may change. He said their faith is likely to be challenged in ways that they could never have imagined, but assured that they are secure in Christ.
The programme was compeered by Krupanuo Pienyü, prayer convenor of HPM. The ministry and financial reports was presented by Vilakhonuo Pienyü, HPM general secretary, while the offertory prayer was said by Atane Vizo.
Songs were presented by Akhono Sirie and friends, Elina Zirü and Zelhoutuolie Keditsu. Meciekhono Pucho presented a solo and Mesevinuo Pienyü and friends presented choreography.
