Share it for awareness Churches’ response to News on Satanic worship On August 5, 2013, a meeting of Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) Officials with Baptist Pastor’s Fellowship of Kohima and Dimapur was held at Kenneth Complex, Nagaland Baptist Church Council HQ, Kohima. During the meeting the members discussed on various issues pertaining to Naga society in the present context. The recent news of the so called “Satanic Worship” was also discussed at length during the meeting. Nagaland Baptist Church Council together with the churches have been conducting extensive research and investigations on the above mentioned issue and have come to the conclusion that as far as the investigation is concerned there is no such established place of “satanic worship.” However, the research did find that, there are some elements of satanic influence in some activities among some young people. In this regard, Nagaland Baptist Church Council together with the Baptist Pastor’s Fellowship of Kohima and Dimapur appeal to all the churches and the congregations to be vigilant of such satanic elements as the scripture warns. They also appeal the churches to intensify home visitations and prayers as well as conduct educational seminars and bible studies and most importantly encourage the families to create awareness by educating amongst themselves on the elements of satanic influences. As it says in the Scriptures people under Satanic influences can be delivered through the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, all the believers in Jesus Christ , our Lord should positively work towards this end. The Council along with the churches also request the public not to over publicize the matter at hand because unintentionally there are tendencies to popularize or even blow the matter out of proportion. The Council and the churches encourage the young people not to be overtly alarmed or be confused by the speculations that surround them. But, to stand firm amidst all the confusion and take it as an opportunity to reaffirm their faith in Jesus Christ and draw more closer to Him.
