‘Youth Week’, organised by the Youth Department of Chakhesang Baptist Church Ministers’ Hill, Kohima (CBCMHK) under the theme ‘examine your faith’ concluded on Sunday coinciding with the Nagaland Baptist Church Council and the Chakhesang Baptist Church Council’s ‘Youth Day of Prayer’, the Media and Publicity Committee, CBCMHK informed.
Speaking on the theme, Associate Pastor of CBCMHK, Asüne Swüro said that believers are to inspect closely whether they are living in faith and examine their motives, actions, and current condition of their heart. Believers should avoid things that their faith does not approve of and take care of the spiritual health, which is very important, she added.
She urged the gathering to abide in God and examine their faith and work through the perspective of God.

Youth Director of CBCMHK, Rakodu Nukhu, while delivering the message in the afternoon devotional service, challenged the youth members to examine the covenant that they have had with the Lord in their lives.
He said that faith is based on the covenant and told them to base their faith on the covenant, that is, through the blood of Jesus Christ, to be able to stand in faith. “Covenant is our light and we are called to carry this covenant forward”, he said.
In this race of life, one is seeking reward but as Christians, the reward comes from the Lord, Nukhu added while cautioning the youth on basing their faith in other things and challenged them to base their faith through the blood of Jesus Christ.
