[dropcap]B[/dropcap]eing deeply hurt by the tragedy that befell us my thoughts provoked me to put them into words.
Well, the tragedy made by ourselves for ourselves shattered our good image and has brought us to great humiliation in the eyes of the world.
What a shame! How disgraceful! How horrific!
To whom or from whom are we to penitently implore or obtain mercy in order to get redeemed? Ninevites in the Old Testament, being covered in sackcloth sat down in ashes and on fasting called mightily on God for their wickedness. They eventually obtained God’s love and mercy. We have come to that point of imploring state.
I wish the highest church body viz., the NBCC to proclaim such a message, in other words, decree of commitment, for the churches in Nagaland and together make a fervent plea to God to mercifully help us do away with the blot of our vilest sin and redeem us from the dungeon of our filthiness (raping, killing, adultery, dishonesty and all kinds of corruption).Church is the most accessible platform to address and preach at the nick of time.
Thankfully there have been many who think right and write rightly, whom I ever salute. But a sorry fact is that, people who need to be counselled for a change never sincerely read or learn the write-ups or for that matter, bother about the practical things one needs to know.
Therefore the Church, beside preaching about salvation, needs to speak about the practical things we Christians/ Naga Christians ought to do and not to do, through knowing the howabouts of each member in their respective village/church. Above all things, we need to become Christians and not suffice by being mere Churchians (as projected by writers’ write-ups in the last year’s print media).
The 5th March, a Black Day, was the making of none other than the same demonic raping instinct which urged those perpetrators to become inhumans who did not spare even the lifeless human body. The God of heaven and earth dared not have looked at those demonic men then, because He is full of mercy and love.
In regard to our ever-arguing unemployment problem and the so termed invasion of our employment avenues by the IBIs, please, everyone sincerely read the write-up of our esteemed writer Mr Benito Z. Swu, ‘The tragedy of it all’, in our esteemed dailies on 10th & 11th March 2015.
We have a lot to learn and come to a realizing point from the write-ups of our esteemed writers. Thank you brother Benito! Thank you Sir K.K. Sema and everyone else! God bless you and may your talents of high ideals be used more for educating & reforming us and for glorifying God!
Condoling the family members of the man who died in the police firing and appreciating the compensation the State government announced for the victim’s family. It is, however, wiser on the part of certain organizations to undo the gesture of terming ‘supreme sacrifice’. It was sheer ill-luck on his unaccountable role and not a sacrifice.
The principles of Christianity or for that matter the religion that we profess as Christians need to be reached to every household and thereof practised by every Naga to regain our goodness that we usually exhibit.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
