Message To The Youths | Rh. Raising  Member, Collective Leadership, NSCN

Older generations, physically impaired persons and children often  admire and yearn for the life of youths because young people in  that stage of time are vibrant, dynamic, lively, ambitious,  adventurous, patriotic and socialistic. The prime life of youths is  like the beautiful morning time from sunrise to noon. Youth life is  a golden age that every man and woman pass through.

Youth life may be likened to a ‘blank paper.’ Whether consciously  or unconsciously, you are writing something good or bad in it. The  wise youth inscribes a great name in history whereas the fool  imprints a bad name. Life is also like an arrow in your hand.  Hitting the target yields reward, but missing the target means  losing your chance forever. Don’t miss it. We shall never come  this way again.

Youth life should not be viewed from physical dimension only, it  should also be viewed from mental dimension. To be a robust  youth or an intellectual youth is not enough, every youth must be  social and political oriented.

Above all, youth life must be viewed from spiritual dimension.  Faith in the omnipotent name of Jesus Christ is the deciding factor  in all walks of life. His name is the power-house of life. A person – young or old, man or woman becomes invincible only when he/she connects with that power-house. What we say in his mighty  name, it happens.

Many great leaders chosen by the Lord for his works have been  youth figures like Joshua, Caleb, David, Gideon, Samson, Samuel,  Daniel and others. These anointed individuals are known as  Nazirites. Nazirites are those who are wedded to the cause of the  Lord and His people. The people of Israel have remained strong  and invincible across generations, mainly because of the presence  of Nazirites among them.

God is looking for our youths to champion the noble cause of  Nagalim for Christ. Our youths are the bulwark of our people and  land. Whether we accept it or not, we are born for a divine cause.  We have a cause to fight and live for. Enemies of all hues have intruded into our land and home. In time like this, no one is  expected to sit on the fence or run away from them on any pretext.  As enemies have come to attack us we must defend ourselves  with counter offensive strategy. However, relying on human  strength alone will not suffice unless accompanied by the Spirit of  the Lord. Samson, the Nazirite was strong and invincible so long  as the Spirit of the Lord was with him, but he became weak and  helpless the moment the Spirit of the Lord departed from him.

Can we imagine of building a sovereign state without Nazirites?  We cannot build a church or even a village without Nazirites. Can  we outfight numerous enemies without Nazirites? I don’t think so.  We need Nazirites in our land. I am fully convinced that with the  spirit of Nazirite we can outmanoeuvre and outfight the  aggressors. Nazirites have survival instinct and strategy. The Lord  says “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.” Let us  pray to the Lord that he raises an army of Nazirites in our country.

The good Lord has given talents to all youths without exception.  But talent needs to be sharpened and polished on the anvils of  educational institutions and school of life to shape it into a world  class. Every department of governments, companies, organizations  and institutions look for dynamic, educated and computerized  youths because the world today is now highly computerized. It demands of us skilled workers.

People in slavery need Nazirites; oppressed and exploited people  need Nazirites; atheists and idolatrous people need Nazirites and  immoral and corrupt societies need Nazirites. We cannot dream of  bringing peace and progress in our land without Nazirites. We  need Nazirites not only today, but also in days to come.

Our society today is corrupt and immoral; it is rampant with drug  addicts, drug paddlers, alcoholics, criminals, rebels and traitors.  Our society needs revolution, but revolution without Nazirites is a  wishful thinking. We need an army of Nazirites to regenerate and  rebuild our society. One may be young or strong, one may be wise  or educated, one may be rich or in a high social position, but a  person bereft of the spirit of Nazirite is nobody in history. A  Nazirite is a historical force to be reckoned with. Indeed, our  people need Nazirites.

We need an army of Nazirites in our land. We need an army of  Nazirites in our political front; We need an army of Nazirites in  our military front; we need an army of Nazirites in our economic  front. We need an army of Nazirites in all institutions. We need Nazirites because it is they, who move the world; it is they who  move mountain; it is they who subdue nature; it is they who can  read the sign of time and it is they who can turn the impossible  into possible.

Nazirites are born or made by decision to live for a divine cause.  They are the people who advocate for a cause, fight for a cause,  live for a cause and die for a cause. What Nazirites have done is  history because they do nothing but the will of God and His  people.
Nazirites don’t build houses, they build home.

Nazirites don’t fight for fame, they fight for a cause;  Nazirites don’t build wall, they build bridge;

Nazirites don’t impose their will upon others, they convince others  of the truth;

Nazirites don’t seek for material comfort, they seek for spiritual  comfort;

Nazirites don’t worry for the desert land, they worry for the desert  heart;

Nazirites don’t worry for the poor equipments of the fighters, they  worry for the poor spirit of the fighters;

Nazirites don’t have defeated heart, they have winner’s heart;  Nazirites don’t run away from problems, they confront problems; Nazirites don’t worship creations, they worship the Creator.

Nazirites put the word of God first, matter next;

Nazirites put the heart first, the head next;

Nazirites put the soul first, the body next;

Nazirites put concept first, revolution next;

Nazirites put idea first, kingdom next;

Nazirites put man first, the state next;

Nazirites put God first, man next.
