Spiritual force: Blood Sacrifice of the Lambthe Circle/Shield

Unduk Ngadau – like the noon’s day sun, came the light of Huminundun or Huminodun, perfection in human character brought about through trials, testing, sufferings, tribulations and self-sacrifices, even to lay one’s life for another, there is no greater love than those who put their own life (and career) to the service of others. This underlying and life-giving force that propels the struggles of the Kadazans – sakag do Kinoingan- to this day. They are looking forward for a “better to-marrow” when the promises of “love conquers all” will come true. This is the nourishment which gives them the strength to move on in spite of the betrayal of friends and comrades in politics, commerce and other earthly human endeavor – the Word and Spirit of God, symbolized by the two stalks of padi (66 grains reminds them of the June 6th plane blow up in 1976).

Two thousand years ago, a sinless person was crucified for the sins of the kadazans. He became the Sacrificial Lamb (Huminundun) that redeems the kadazans (MANKIND) from the slavery and bondages of sin. The Blood of the Lamb of God, who is in reality the Word and Spirit of God, and is God, is that promised power and life force that protects and guards the Sovereignty of the Kadazan People.

KCA, an acronym for Kacih Cinta Abadi, Eternal Unconditional Love, which was evidenced in God the Father’s sacrifice of His own Son to redeem mankind. Even to this day, the motto of KDCA is still “Kosompuuvan doid Koubasanan”, which means “Unity in Culture” or U n C, a coded message from the Almighty meaning Unity in Christ – the Word and Spirit of God, the Treasury of God’s Wisdom, the Tataba that Pairin and others are trying to locate. C.U.L.T.U.R.E. is an acronym for Christ’s Unconditional Love, Truth, Understanding, Redemption and Enterprise.
