Day 6 of Transformation Crusade ends
Kohima, January 20 (MExN): Nagas have lost “our” way and become worshippers of money, materialism, politics, fashion etc. This was articulated by Rev Shan Kikon, pastor of Faith Harvest Church on the sixth day of Transformation Crusade today held at Local Ground here. He minced no words in saying that “we” want to be popular, powerful, and be in beauty contests, according to a press release.
As speaker of the day, Rev. Shan Kikon spoke from the Bible passage of 1 Kings 19:1-21 and shared that God has a special calling in Nagaland. In retrospect, he said Nagas practiced Animism and were head-hunters, but God loved us and sent the American missionaries to bring transformation in Nagaland. He shared that though Nagaland is a very small state, yet it is God’s plan that Nagas take the gospel of God and preach it to other parts of the world. However, he lamented that Nagas have become materialistic and hungry for power and fame.
“We are Christians just in name, but our hearts have gone astray from Him,” the note quoted Rev Shan as saying. In this context, he said God wants to bring up anointed people like Elijah and queried if the congregation was willing to stand up like Elijah. “God does not look at our qualifications, your riches, fame and strength, but he looks at your heart,” he said. “You need to make up your mind and God will raise and use them mightily at the right time.”
The press release stated that thousands of people dedicated their lives to rise up and be anointed by God, to become Elijah of the land, to be used mightily at the right time, for the glory of God on the sixth day of Transformation Crusade today in Kohima. Hundreds of people were also healed from different kinds of sicknesses and around ten non-Christians were healed, who also accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, the note informed.
Earlier, the programme was led by Surjay, Assistant Pastor, Nepali Baptist Church while praise and worship was led by Faith Harvest Church.
