Nagaland for Christ 1


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.

Preface to Raising Clan





PREFACE TO THE RAISING SHANG HISTORY.



The descendants under the lineage CLAN of common ancestors in particular by the name of RAISING SHANG or the “I - HAO Tangkhul Raising Kinsfolk” in the promise of God initiates to take note of our History into a written document handed down to us by word of mouth since time immemorial.
The world-renowned historians aptly stated “Human history is the one subject where no one can begin with the beginning”.
However, man through centuries have tried to find the answer to a number of questions covering generations after generation, that arise in his mind about his personal identity, i.e. “ WHO AM I? “ This is a universal basic question and this basic question demands and answer.
The components of an answer to this particular question that cannot be easily ignored are:
a)      His relationship with the universe inconsistent with the reality of existing life, under a supreme Creator.
b)      His struggle for a healthy survival fully aware of death as the first enemy of mankind.
c)      His attitude towards life and death, the mystery of life before birth and after dead.
d)      His equation with nationality, race, stock, kinsfolk, kinsman, shadowing under ancestral background, community, family - siblings, relatives, friends, neighbors and human society at large.
The deeply akin descendants of RAISING SHANG at the present age with an intense desire and ardent longing in our resolute commitment after successive discourse presented by the advanced age kinsfolk added by narrative legendary tales of Tangkhul Naga tribe have suitably yielded to bring forward a recorded written history of the RAISING descendants.
Every inhabitant originally settled earlier than pre-historic events residing within the localities of customarily established Tribal villages in Ukhrul District Manipur is known as Naga Hills in recent past that bears the title of his Clan by the name of Rephung, Raihing, Raiping, Raising…etc each of which is one by blood are sons and daughters of a single parentage. There are a great number of our kinsfolk brothers and sisters scattered elsewhere around the North-Eastern region of India covering parts of Manipur, Nagaland, and Somrah Track (Myanmar), etc. running the same heredity genetic blood belonging to Raising Clan based on Justified counts of mythological and historical facts.
Scaling to begin from the time centuries-old the humble submission to the existence of invisible Omnipotent divine Creator since primitive stages of our forefathers entitled them to obedience and worship. The nature of their devotion to the Supreme Being continues as far as down to this generation embodying the faith of their offspring of these days to embrace Christianity.
Wherefore, unto all ages to come, blessed by God with knowledge of the distinction between right and wrong, goodness and evil, the creation of the heaven and earth and the creation of man and woman accounted in Genesis from Scripture is the basic fundamental source of human history.
Eventually, one generation goes and other generations come, among them of which our ancestors known by the name of Raising descendants are very much part of the divine creation scattered on the face of this Planet. The people of Raising descendants belong to Mongoloid stock possessing a common outlook, tradition, customs, culture, and structure relating to Asian people.
Generally, even in the primitive stages of the pre-historic period, our forefathers were master of a full-grown mind and had the intellectual capacity to translocate their settlement toward greener pasture of the North-eastern region of India. More importantly, the most interesting opinion about them is that they were capable of relating to their environment and condition of life from time to time and from place to place covering centuries multiplied by centuries, ages after ages the world around. This historical background had precisely enlightened upon every one of us, worthy enough to root out our identity in an open searching to “WHO AM I?”

Tangkhul Idol



                                               FOR THE PROPOSED EVENT.


We the Tangkhul Naga Today (Entertainments & Production House) understand that every individual, society, organisation were bound by rules and regulations, Guidelines under every concerned Authority.     We don’t intend to go against any organisation, Association but need your suggestion, direction and support for the proposed event “THE TANGKHUL IDOL”
Our Short Profile & Mission.
Seeing the development and popularity of Music today there are so many talented Artists whose talents are hidden, confined, unexplored and given a chance, would excel and grow as professionals. Without any major platform to showcase their talents, many artists, bands have been limited only in our own room to play.
However, Tangkhul got lots of talented artists waiting to be explored and still progressing well in the field of music. Tangkhul is also one among the music lovers particularly in North East India and other parts of India as well.
Today we would like to introduce “TANGKHUL IDOL” which is being organised for the first time. Our objective is to hunt for those young talented artists and bring them from their confined world towards exposure.
We also need your support and encouragement to fulfil our project/programme.
We see some very talented people whose career gets cut even before it begins, some sooner and some later.  We aim at determining the best undiscovered young artists in our Tangkhul Community.

Seeing the development and popularity of various competitions such as American Idol, Indian Idol, British Got Talent... etc, we hope that this event would be a stepping stone for the youngsters of our community and would provide them the much needed platform to excel and nurture in exploring their talents as every participants, competitors would bring out their best effort. Natural ability may give gifted artists an advantage, but without effort, success is not guaranteed. And without such event our talented artist would only continue to confine their talent.
Our mission is also aimed at learning and experiencing criticism and evaluating a positive way of living. Because every competition helps us to understand the role of criticism and their responses that affects our success. What our artists/competitors need to understand is that unless we evaluate our work, we can’t get the best. When we get criticism, even harsh criticism, the best response is to pay attention and then take another look at what we did to earn that criticism.
Rather than looking at it as some kind of disaster, we should look at it as a learning experience, an opportunity to improve and grow. While our young artists hardly understand this.
We have seen some artists/competitors play the blame game, but they are not the ones who make it or win the game. It’s difficult to achieve success when the responsibility for that success rests in the hands of others or the hands of fate. The artists who do well recognize the role they play in their own success and do all they can to gain that success.
One thing we would like to acknowledge the artists/competitors is to hold the refusal to accept responsibility for their success. It’s easy for them to blame others for their lack of success - Parents /Guardians push too hard, Teachers didn’t push hard enough, Rules were unfair everywhere. However, as long as they blame others, they can’t take control of their own lives.
And hence we want to see “TANGKHUL face nationally and be exposed to the world.”
We also want to give the experience of trying hard, “try and try again” Sometimes gifted artists have a tendency to give up when the going gets tough as many things come so easily to those gifted and  talented, they don’t always do well when then encounter something that is not easy for them. We have seen from the competition like American Idol, Indian Idol or the British Got Talent, American got talent that the successful contestants don’t give up. They often have to sing song, display different styles they aren't comfortable with and don't do well with. But they don't give up. They try their best and come out stronger even if they don't get high marks, grade or points from the judges.
 We also want to promote our culture through this event. We have seen that some seminars, expeditions, expo, were rarely held. Local culture has rarely been seen as playing a significant role in development outcomes. Nor does empirical research routinely consider the role of local culture in fostering a more complete understanding of community development. Instead, culture is often viewed as an outgrowth of a particular region and dependent upon various experiences, not an independent force. We understand that local culture as well as our cultural activities provides a sense of identity for rural communities and residents and to the outside world. This identity facilitates common understandings, traditions, and values, all central to the identification of plans of action to improve well-being. We also strongly believe that Culture contributes to building a sense of local identity and solidarity. It influences the confidence to each and every citizen and would understand together to address specific needs and problems apart from our artists or singer.
Lastly, with the tremendous development of the communication and information sectors, particular attention has been paid to the need for the young talented artist including cultural communities and cultures while promoting and exposing our hidden talents to the outside world.

Regards
Idol Teams

Take the time to see the beauty around you. There’s more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don’t live in the past or the future.

8. Laugh

14. Mind Their Own Business
Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family. Don’t get overly concerned with what other people are doing or saying. Don’t get caught up with gossip or name calling. Don’t judge. Everyone has a right to live their own life the way they want to – including you.

15. Optimism
See the glass as half full. Find the positive side of any given situation. It’s there – even though it may be hard to find. Know that everything happens for a reason, even though you may never know what the reason is. Steer clear of negative thoughts. If a negative thought creeps in – replace it with a positive thought.

16. Love Unconditionally
Accept others for who they are. You don’t put limitations on your love. Even though you may not always like the actions of your loved ones – you continue to love them.

17. Persistence
Never give up. Face each new challenge with the attitude that it will bring you one step closer to your goal. You will never fail, as long as you never give up. Focus on what you want, learn the required skills, make a plan to succeed and take action. We are always happiest while pursuing something of value to us.

18. Be Proactive
Accept what cannot be changed. Happy people don’t waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being. Determine how you can take control by creating the outcome you desire – rather than waiting to respond.

19. Self Care
Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical checkups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water. Exercise your mind by continually energizing it with interesting and exciting challenges.

20. Self Confidence
Don’t try to be someone that you’re not. After all no one likes a phony. Determine who you are in the inside – your own personal likes and dislikes. Be confident in who you are. Do the best you can and don’t second guess yourself.

21. Take Responsibility
Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when they’ve made a mistake.

Begin today by taking responsibility for your happiness. Work on developing these habits as you own. The more you incorporate the above habits into your daily lifestyle – the happier you will be.

Most of al l: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
