It could be that you\u2019ve had a secret problem in our state for twenty years, thirty years, even longer. The length of time you\u2018ve struggled doesn\u2019t diminish God\u2019s power or take away from the fact that HE loves you and wants to see you set free.<br>It doesn\u2019t matter how many times you\u2018ve tried and failed or what others have said to you or about you. God knows you better than anyone else. He knows you even better than you know yourself, and He says that you can succeed- and with His power, you can.<br>We have came across a list of people who were list encouraged us. These were people who refused to give up but kept on moving in the direction of the goals they had established for themselves, and by the grace of God they eventually reached them:<br>\u2022 Winston Churchill was considered \u201cwashed up\u201d after committing what everyone agreed was a tactical mistake during World War I.<br>\u2022 Lucille Ball was told early in her career that she had absolutely no ability as an actress and that she should forget about show business, go home, and find a nice man to marry.<br>\u2022 Zane Grey was told by a publisher, \u201cYou can\u2019t write; you\u2019ll be able to write,\u201d and to please quit wasting the publisher\u2019s time with his \u2018rubbish\u201d.<br>\u2022 Beethoven had such difficulty learning to play the piano that his music teacher gave up on him.<br>\u2022 Thomas Edison was considered a dunce by his elementary school classmates and the grades he received supported their evaluation.<br>\u2022 Louis Pasteur received a failing grade in chemistry class.<br>\u2022 Abraham Lincoln failed at almost everything he tried- business, politics, and law- before he was elected president in 1860.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Black men in USA they tried for many decades but that failed but today Barak Obama the first black men to contest for the post President in USA<br>This list could go on for several pages with names of great, successful people- but people who, for at least part of their lives, were not considered great or successful by anyone\u2019s measure.<br>Whatever your life has been so far doesn\u2019t have to say anything about what it will be in the future. Past failures don\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be future successes. You may be in bondage today, but that does not mean you won\u2019t be free tomorrow.<br>\u201cIt is never too late to take a new direction and move boldly towards a new destination\u201d.<br>\u201cIt is never too late to square our shoulders and meet the challenge head on\u201d.<br>\u201cIt is never too late to fight back and achieve success\u201d.<br>\u201cAre we still fighting?\u201d<br>In spiritual sense, there are thousands of people in our land today who are in the position of Iraqi soldiers before they surrendered. They\u2019re bruised and bleeding, still refuse to lay down their weapons and surrender. May be we are the one of these people, who still did not surrender our life to God for our nation. If so we need to take a moment and read the Bible from the book of Judges Chapter 20\u2019 we should ask ourself a very important question for our Nagas tomorrow;<br>\u201cWhat I am fighting for?\u201d Another question to consider is,<br>\u201dWhom I am fighting for \u201c.<br>You probably do not even realize it, chance are very good that you are fighting against God himself. Just as Iraqi soldiers had no way to win the war against the US and its Allies thing about, their is no way you win if you are fighting against God\u201d The ironic thing about it is that God does not want us to fight and kill among Nagas.<br>The Old Testament stories as \u201cProof\u201d that God can be downright ferocious if we Naga people cross Him. Look what happened to Sodom and Gomoroh they say.Not only were the evil cities destroyed by fire, but they were covered by water.<br>We Naga people don\u2019t believe or we have forgotten the wonderful stories in the old testament of a loving God and in the New testament showing Jesus in a loving light<br>Lastly but not least humble appeal to all the collective leaders of Nagas, Let with one stroke of your pen and let the one shoot of our bullet change the destiny of Naga\u2019s future according to God\u2019s will.<br>\u201cFor Nagas tomorrow\u201d<br>H.Vikato Zhimo Naga<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn\u2019t matter how many years you\u2018ve been struggling to break free from whatever it is that holds you bound.
