NAGALAND FOR CHRIST (With regard to some Tangkhul Naga history) (Strictly copyrighted by Marshall Shongjan Shimrayy) From generation to generations, the 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.
