NAGALAND FOR CHRIST
(With regard to some Tangkhul Naga history)
From generation to generations, the Eastern Asia ( North East or the seven sister
states), the Kapo valley and the Kachin Hills were inhabited by the
Nagas. British India govt. divided the Naga nation into 4 (four)
division (parts), the last part (portion) called the NAGA HILLS
“Excluded Area” was handed over under
the care of Assam governor. Once again the Naga nation arose against the
India govt. for its independent state like the Nagas resisted the force
occupation of British in the past.
As the Naga people pray and work
for the cause of the Nagaland for Christ, people were tempted to the
16th point agreement of 1960 under the statehood which was not possible
and against the will of the Naga people. Still, the India govt. tries to
divert people’s aspiration of self determination and freedom.
Nagaland means Nagalim. The only difference between two words is that
the first word is generally used in English. Now, it’s used as Nagalim
according to the inspiration of God to one of the Naga prophets of which
no one can question God’s plan. This, we believe is God’s will and
command.
In order to spread the good news of the Savior Jesus
Christ every nook and corner of the world for mankind, and at the end of
the 18th Century a great wave of spiritual revival spread for and wide
across the England for attaining “England for Christ” in the Europe
continent. In the same manner, the North East India began to witness
Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind through one W. Clerk, a missionary
to Nagaland in the Malung Kemung (AO Village) for the first time in the
year 1872, and William Pettigrew, a missionary to
Manipur(Ukhrul/Tangkhul) in 1894.
As inspired by God, Dr. Frank
bartleman worked hard and spread the gospel in California in 1905 in the
America continent that Jesus Christ is the Savior of mankind. He wanted
to uphold “California for Christ” through spiritual revival (another
way of revival page – 12).
Before the prophecy of Khasung (Tangkhul
Naga), there were no activities of the so called Naga Club in the
beginning. He had revealed that Ruichumhao would lead the war one day.
His prophecy came true as Ruichumhao was chosen the leader of the
Christian Labour corps at the time when the four kuki Chiefs refused to
sent their men
As British Labour Corps. Ruichumhao was a religious
man. He used to pray even in the battle field. And he got an opportunity
to submit a memorandum to King George V of England. That was the 1st
memorandum submitted by Ruichumhao.
Suisa Rungshung, the prophet
said, “During 1918-1919 a voice of the Holy Spirit came to Sadhu Sundar
Singh as saying “Sunder Singh” a kingdom of mine shall be established on
earth in which the prophets shall reign’ to this Sundar Singh replied
that, let this be in the land of my Sikh people’. The voice answered,
‘No’ this is for the 2nd Israel (2nd chosen people) my Naga people’. The
voice further told Sundar Singh to inform the Naga people. Sundar Singh
sorted out those who know Naga people at New Delhi and informed them.
They found out Ruichumhao Rungsung just after his arrival from France
and conveyed the matter, and asked him to pray for that purpose. Before
coming home from France he went to England to meet King George V as he
was invited. And a short span of time over there with the King was a
moment of political revival of Naga Freedom for Ruichumhao. Ruichumhao
started praying for the same. In the meantime, an order was received
from the govt. to lead against the Kuki rebellion to resist their
uprising. Before that, the Kukis had beheaded many Tangkhul innocent
villagers of the three villages viz. Zingsui village in 1880, Chingchui
village in 1893 and Phungcham village 25th March 1868.
Unable
to bear the sorrow of going to fight against his neighbors’ by the
order of the higher authority and for his deep aspiration for obtaining
Naga freedom and to end the ongoing war in favour of British/England,
Ruichumhao went upto the top of the British Campus Hill Zingshong
(Kharing kaphung) to devote in fasting
for 7 days. Nobody knew that Ruichumhao was taking fasting prayer there
as he did not tell anyone. But, some visioners were observing an angel
coming down from heaven and sacrificing on that hill top every day for 7
days. Later on, it was confirmed that the days of Ruichumhao’s fasting
and the days of the Angel’s sacrificing were coincided. It was also
confirmed that the coincided incident took place in the year of 1918. At
the end of that fasting prayer the words of God came to Ruichumhao as
saying ‘Ruichumhao your prayer is accepted (answered), the war is over”.
‘You may go’. On returning home from prayer hill, it was already
proclaimed that the Great War is over. Thus, the war ended on 9th Nov.
1918.
From this, Ruichumhao realized that ‘all these are the
will of God to make him (Ruichumhao) know that Nagaland is and will be
for CHRIST and God desires Nagaland to be His Kingdom on Earth in which
the prophets have to reign.
Since then, all the Naga people had
been praying for an Independent Homeland for Christ and had been
dedicating themselves to be qualified Holy citizens of the land of
Christ. And they had been asking divine strength to be able to propagate the gospel of Christ all over the world.
Later, in the year 1923 the spiritual revival spread both in Nagaland
and Manipur and reached Somdal Church, the native place of Ruichumhao,
Maran (the prophet) on 7th May 1923.
Journey to for Christ was
followed through prayer and spiritual revival by each and every
individuals and churches of Naga inhabited Regions. And the grace of God
was bestowed upon the people and answered their prayer by way of
granting them an opportunity to submit the 2nd Memorandum to the Simon
Commission, India by the 20 (twenty) signatory members of Naga club on
26-3-1928. This ever first joint memorandum is also known as the
“ORIGINAL LETTER”. And the second memorandum was submitted to the same
commission on the 10th Jan. 1929.
After a gap of 10 (ten)
years, a group of 4 (four) persons namely: Subhas Chandra Boss, Indian
Freedom Fighter, Suisa Rungsung (Naga Prophet) Manipur Naga, Shri.
Wungshang, political agent of Burma (Myanmar) and Shri. Hijam Irapot
Manipur Meitei submitted a joint memorandum to the British India govt.
in 1939.
Amongst the Naga people Shri. AZ. Phizo, Thungte
Chang, Weha Rengma, Chri Samisa Syatsie, Talha Piu Sema, Ivacho Sema and
David Kemp etc. are some of the names of Naga leaders worth to be
mentioned.
The people of Nagaland experienced a step forward in
the battle of the Nagaland for Christ during the year 1960-62 through
spiritual revival and God’s grace at the time when R. Suisa was the MP
in the parliament in Delhi. And in order to re-kindle the spiritual
revival of the Tangkhul people of Manipur, R. Suisa called upon Mr. Juba
AO and Samuel Lotha. In this way, Naga people were spiritually awaken
time and again. And by the grace of God, R. Suisa, the MP was able to
table the Indo-Naga problem in the parliament house and to Nehru, the
prime minister of India.
Uncle Suisa was arrested in connection
with the Naga Integration movement. He was kept behind bars at Dumdum
jail, Calcutta (Kolkata) from 10th Feb. 1962 up till 10th Feb. 1963.
About Christianity R. Suisa has said, ‘The non-Christian of Meetei
valley shall be converted Christian and Burmese (Myanmarese) the next
and so on. Thus, Nagaland shall be the soul searching centre on earth.
And miracle is the weapon of the Nagaland for Christ. Prophets and the
religious Christian elders shall perform miracles through the grace of
God.
‘The Nagalim for Christ’. Therefore churches in Nagalim need to
revive and search for the spiritual weapon. With swords in our hands
and spiritual swords in our hearts, together can only defend our
Nagalim. Without these weapons, our dream for the Nagaland for Christ
shall be a nightmare. And this was the prophecy of a prophet from
Nagaland in 1952.
Some years after Oja Suisa left New Delhi as
the term of MP expired; Jawaharlal Nehru then invited Suisa repeatedly
to come to Delhi. As Suisa hesitated not knowing the intention of Nehru,
he sent for Khasung of Sirarakhong and Machihan of Tuinem to come down
to Imphal to the house of Soyam Amu of Lamlong where Suisa usually
stationed. On their arrival Suisa informed them of the repeated
invitation to discuss and find out the ways and means of solution to the
Indo-Naga conflict. Khashung told Oja Suisa that it was already
revealed long ago during the 1923-30 revival led by your elder brother
R. Ruichumhao that you had been chosen to afford for the solution of the
Indo-Naga conflict.
Accordingly, R. Suisa went to Delhi and
met Shri. Power and Shri. Harish Chandula senior journalist to help
solve the Indo-Naga problem in the month of May 1964. Then, the cease
fire agreement was officially declared through Nagaland Baptist Church
Council (NBCC) on 6th Sept. 1964. But the talk continued up till 1967.

Uncle
Suisa said ‘that while he was at Chedima Peace Camp, along with Mr.
Honlei of Tushar village and prayed in fasting at a small cave 1 km away
from Peace Camp to the south-east (now New NH cutting through) for 15
days. There, each letter of Nagaland for Christ in different colours was
revealed to Oja Suisa. Then and there,
Uncle Suisa grasped the faith in God’s revelation that the divine vision
of Sadhu Sundar Singh was really for the Nagas with a purpose.
There should not be unnecessary bloodshed as it is the Lord’s war.
Uncle Suisa said, “When 10 (ten) persons (soldiers) died, hundreds of
dear and near ones mourned. When hundred soldiers (persons) died
thousands and thousands mourned. In this way hundred and thousands might
take a wrong turn. And he said that our country being small,
accommodation of soldiers beyond 2000/3000 was not possible. So, let the
wicked/enemy also survive as they were”, said uncle Suisa.
uncle Suisa said that the weapon of the Nagaland for Christ are not guns
and barrels, but the words of God with ceaseless prayer. Spirit filled
people will be the soldiers for the LORD. Those who received the gifts
of the Holy spirit in visions, prophesies and revelation should lead the
war of the Nagaland for Christ
NAGALAND FOR CHRIST
1. To
lead and command the people of Israel, Moses fasted for 40 (fourty) days
and 40 (fourty) nights in prayer. God answered his prayer and gave him
the 10 (ten) commandment to be yard stick for him and the Israelist.
2. To please and achieve the will of His Heavenly Father Jesus went to pray in fasting for fourty days and fourty nights.
3. In 1923, it had been revealed in the Ismail church (Sirarakhong
church) that a prophet for the Nation will come from Tuinem village
people will witness his sacrificial way of life for the Naga Nation.
As the revelation of God came true, the two prophets of Sinakeithei,
Mr. Simeon and Machihan told R. Rungma, the prophet of Tuinem village
that the time of the clock that hang at the top of KARAO Kaphung (hill)
has rung. So he was asked to offer in the way that God desired.
R. Rungma went to pray for forty days and forty nights without food and
water for the cause of Nagaland for Christ from March 1st to April 10th
1982.
The following points mentioned here under are some of the promises revealed in the vision.
a. He was presented the Namet (chain/necklace) usually used by the Great/High priests.
b. He was given with 5 (five) talents.
i. Freedom would be given.
ii. Power of prayer would be granted.
iii. Christian government would be permitted (granted).
iv. Power of healing would be bestowed.
v. Power of gospel preaching and
vi. He was given 7 (seven) cross. He would carry 5 (five) cross for
himself. Friends would help carry the other 2 (two) cross. And if any
friends not found he would shoulder all the seven for himself.
For 26 (twenty six) years, from 1982-2008 in the Tangkhul region and up
to Nagaland, he took up his cross and carried out healing ministry,
gospel preaching and fasting, prayer till his last breathe and went to
the place where uncle R. Suisa had been awaiting at Zion on dt. 01-05-08
leaving his beloved family members, near and dear ones, friends,
relatives and the church members.
Likewise Moses also
sacrificed himself and led his Israel people for forty days and forty
nights to enter the Canaan. To save and redeem the people of the world
from sins, Jesus Christ also sacrificed himself for the same number of
days. R. Rungma also served for the Nagaland for Christ throughout his
whole life and he continuously remained in fasting prayer for forty days
and forty nights for the cause of the Naga Nation as a sacrificial lamb
of the Naga people.
