Dimapur, November 21 (MExN): Chairman of the NSCN (IM) Isak Chishi Swu today send out a message calling upon all Nagas “to give up chauvinism of all forms and divisive thinking” and instead to “unite our hearts together” in order to achieve the goal for the benefit of all Naga people. In a message titled, “To be a worthy citizen of Nagalim for Christ”, the NSCN (IM) chairman while stating that “God is watching with His infinite love and mercy”, affirmed that if only Nagas can have unity, “the rest will be done by Him”.
“I urge every Naga citizen whoever he or she may be, whatever he or she thinks, wherever he or she may be, to think soberly and take a decision and take note of the most important responsibility to save the righteous cause of Nagalim for Christ”, Swu stated in his one page message received here. Pointing out that Nagas would have to seriously ponder upon the unity of its people, Swu urged that “reconciliation, forgiveness and compassion reign among us in Nagalim today”.
The NSCN (IM) chairman also made known to the public that the concept of Nagaland for Christ was not derived from the human mind pointing out that “for Christ in essence” meant for the Nagas to live for Him. “Naga people without any exceptions should realize that Nagalim is created in a special way for which we have to thank God in the first place”, Swu stated adding that Nagas had received God’s “marvelous grace through the faith of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord to have eternal hope of glory”.
Stating that God had given Nagas the stewardship of message of grace to be given to the whole of humanity, Swu appealed that in order to execute God’s will, Nagas as a whole would have to “rise up to the occasion in one accord”. In this regard, the NSCN (IM) chairman expressed regret that the “devil has taken advantage of the differences and misunderstandings” among the Nagas and was “continually misleading us through his cunning devices to let the Nagas remain divided”. As such, Swu maintained that “the course of a nation cannot be left unattended by every sensible citizen.” For this “...it is seriously felt that the necessity of saving our people from this predicament, with a new correct perspective, is a must to uplift our national precarious situation and a change of our mind is extremely necessary now at this juncture”, Swu stated.
