Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) has appealed to the church for dedicating Sunday, January 29, as a prayer for “our land”, for the leaders in the state government, who could deliver the right decision, and for the tribal leaders who represent people.
In a press release, the NBCC expressed concern over the “unfolding ULB electoral crises” and appealed to all stakeholders to exercise restraint, patience and understanding for the larger interest of the people. It also expressed regret that desirable outcome from negotiations have not arrived. NBCC, however, appealed all to stop blaming each other as “we are all aware that by doing that we have found ourselves in the present predicament of fear and apprehension.”
Further, the council said common people were anxious and yet hopeful thinking that wisdom would prevail, but that too seemed far-fetched at the moment. However, NBCC said “we have not lost our hope in God!” adding that this was a time for Christians to sincerely pray for God to intervene in the worst situation “we all can imagine.” NBCC has further called upon all to pray that God would intervene, soften the stance, mindset of all the parties who have in their hands to save the situation.
