‘Gloria Patri-7 Nights of authentic worship for the glory of the Father’ ended on a high note with prayer, healing, worship and celebration at IMC Hall here.
Calling on the congregation, mostly comprising of young Nagas, Administrator of Sinai Ministry, C Meren Jamir, said an event is not an end in itself. Revivals have just become another calendar event. It begins and ends in the church. It does not go into the schools, the roads, the markets and the places we go, he observed.
“What do you do when the school walls are falling, the hospitals are not functioning and the village councils are talking of shutting it down because doctors prefer to be posted only in Kohima and Dimapur,” the administrator put across to the people attending the event.
“Nagaland holds key to a lot of things but we have compromised and adopted a culture of acceptance of all the things going wrong as part of our lives. We need to take our testimonies around the world of what the Lord has done in the Naga Hills. Let us do something,” he said.
With an aim to “raise the Nagas to their full potential”, the Sinai Ministry has decided to conduct a leadership school called R5. He informed that with the goal to extend the “Kingdom of God” by emulating and applying “heavens’ standards here on earth,” the month long residential school will he be held with the purpose to disciple, train and release future leaders in obedience to the Bible. R5 stands for Revive, Restore, Recruit, Release and Reform.
It was followed by a sermon, where Pastor of Kingdom Culture Project, Visasier Kevichüsa delivered a powerful message, challenging some traditional teachings and doctrines. He said that pain is real but joy is normal in Christian life. Teaching on “revealing and claiming the sonship of God the Father”, Pastor Visasier said, “Our God is not mad or sad. He wants us to live in continuous happiness because we are His sons and daughters.”
Collaborating with Highland Dawn Media, the Nagaland Christian Radio broadcast the worship event to the world with a Live Video broadcast in HD. Viewership of the event included people from India, Canada, South Africa, Indonesia, the UK, New Zealand, and Thailand.
During the seven days’ worship, free will offerings were collected for funding food to feed the underprivileged in and around Dimapur.
The partnering organizers were Baptist Youth Fellowship Dimapur, Baptist Revival Church, Lotha AG church, Kingdom Culture Project, Help International, YWAM Dimapur, TROTB, The JamTree, The Connect-Studio, IMC, Zip Sound, Pro-driver Kohima, Release Worship Team, Highland Down Media, Nagaland Christian Radio online, The Watchman, The Morung Express, Sinai Ministry and Nagaland Printing Solution.
