KOHIMA, May 13: The Naga Political Groups and the Naga tribal Hohos have appealed to all churches in Naga areas to observe a united moment of prayer on Sunday, May 18, 2025.

According to a statement issued by Forum for Naga Reconciliation on Monday, during a meeting held on May 5 and 6 at Pruzie, Kohima, the Naga Political Groups and the Naga tribal hohos jointly resolved to request the churches in Naga areas, through the respective apex Church Association/Councils to take a moment to pray for the following points.

Prayer Points:

1. Let us come before the Lord our Maker and acknowledge that He is our eternal triune God above all gods! Let us humble before Him in worship and extol Him with thanksgiving and praise. (Psalm 95)
2. Let us recognize the sovereignty of God over the destiny of all the peoples of this world. It is God who has determined the times and exact places of all people where they should live (Acts 17:26). Therefore, as Nagas—although scattered in different regions—let us give thanks that we are a unique people in God’s sight, created and redeemed for God’s glory.
3. Let us remember, ‘All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23). In sincerity, let us confess our shortcomings, wrongdoings, and all evil committed before God and to each other. Let us ask forgiveness from God and from each other, so that healing and God’s favor will rest upon us.
4. Let us plead with God, with one heart and mind, to hear our prayer of lament. True, lasting peace has eluded our lands for more than 75 years. Let us seek God’s intervention in the impending Naga political situation. Let us plead that God will act not because we are righteous, but for His name’s sake and enduring mercy. He will hear our prayer and intervene. (Daniel 9:18,19)
