Dimapur | January 28
On Thursday, January 28, hundreds of people from all denominations gathered at the State Stadium, Dimapur and prayed for salvation, healing and spiritual deliverance. This was during the first day of the four-day mega event the “Kingdom Invasion India Conference- Awakening the Body of Christ”.
People suffering from various ailments came expecting to have their needs met. The attendees had come from all areas of the country like Delhi, Punjab, Sikkim, Mizoram and Meghalaya. There were also delegates from Singapore and Canada.
The Crusade began with an invigorating praise and worship time led by Faith Harvest Church, Kohima.
The speaker for the first day was Pastor Shan Kikon, of Faith Harvest Church Kohima who enlightened the attendees on what the “Kingdom of God” truly means. He began by talking about how everyone is looking for happy marriages, for families to be restored, businesses to prosper, and for peace. “How do we get it? This Kingdom of God? It does not merely come from observation, or by searching for it here and there,” he said.
He then stated that when an alcoholic gives up drinking, when a marriage is restored, when the Church begins to experience revival that is the “Kingdom” that we are all looking for. However, Pastor Shan cautioned that the Kingdom’s way is not just what one does on the “outside”, and not everything Christian is also the Kingdom. “Most of all what we see in Christianity is not Kingdom. All the buildings we see are not the Kingdom, but they are built for the Kingdom,” he stressed.
Also touching on core issues of Nagaland, he said that a lot of us think if there is no corruption and extortion in Nagaland then we’ll have peace.
He felt that we blame everyone around us, the government, economy, society for disturbing our peace. A lot of us think peace depends on our situation- if only our husband stops drinking then I’ll have peace, if only my wife stops nagging then I’ll have peace”.
Exhorting the gathering, Pastor Shan stated that the Kingdom begins in your heart, because what is in you affects the situation and what is inside you will change the outside. “If you want to transform your life change your inside first. We are justified and made righteous by faith and not what we do outside but by what we believe in our hearts,” he encouraged.
To this, he added that the head of man can be educated but in the end, man will do what is in his heart. For instance, we all agree that corruption is bad because education tells us that, but in the end our heart will dictate our actions. He advised people of Nagaland to follow what the Bible says, “Guard your heart- be responsible for your heart because your life is a result of what is inside your heart.”
