The churches across the state under the banner of Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) today observed 12 hours “concerted prayer” from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.
NBCC General Secretary Rev Dr Zelhou Keyho stated that the prayer was organized to express and experience the deep levels of unity among the Christians through corporate intercession.
The believers prayed for unity of the body of Christ and the leadership of the church, for the head of government, the leaders and the policies which will honor God and bring peace and create confidence in the mind of the people, for the different political parties in the State for unity of purpose, for bureaucrats to judiciously execute policies in honesty and for the welfare of the people, for the protracted Naga political issue and the leadership.
It also prayed for honesty, sincerity and transparency of leaders and those working for peace, unity and reconciliation among our people, for the leadership of Tribal Hohos, Civil Societies and student organizations, for children who are in the midst of their board exams and those who are appearing for different exams, for missionaries who have gone out of their comfort zone as our representative.
Further, it also offered prayer for the persecuted church and the Christian minority who are often marginalized, for children who are in schools and those who cannot afford to go to schools, for the teachers that they will be sincere in nurturing our children, for young people, for meaningful and purposeful life, for farmers as they enter into the season of sowing and plantation, for world peace and those going through war and conflicts and for the renewal of believers with Biblically sound spirituality.
