COVID 19: THE HUMBLER OF HUMANITY

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

God, being a jealous God Deuteronomy 4:24; Exodus 34:14 has always proved His displeasure over sin, especially when it comes to idol worship. In fact, the children of Israel paid dearly for aligning themselves with idol worship in Numbers 25:1-9, that a whooping twenty four thousand (24,000) people died in that plague. Therefore, it can best be assured that sin brings death just as the world is currently battling with the COVID - 19 pandemic around the world today. James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

As deadly and frightening as the COVID - 19 pandemic, this coronavirus has however humbled the world power, taming the pride and arrogance of man towards his neighbour. It has proven to the powers that be especially the rich that we are all humans and equal before God after all. The groovings around the world has suddenly become none existence due to the fear of contracting the coronavirus, which in itself is not a death sentence though.

All of a sudden, the rich and mighty among men stopped organizing birthday bash parties in Dubai, Italy, Spain etc. They suddenly stopped medical tourism to London, India, America etc. They no longer go for holidays in Canada, Philippines, Australia etc. Their business trips to China, Germany, France etc becomes a no go area. In fact, no more display of flashing and exotic cars, buildings, jewelries and even cash among them. The world of sports and betting crumbles.
They now realise that indeed, God Almighty reigns in the affairs of men. Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Now, as the world contends in combating the spread of the COVID - 19 pandemic, let it be known to all men that repentance from sin and wickedness among men will proffer a speedy solution to end this disease. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Give your life to Jesus Christ now and you shall be saved. Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

May God heal our land in Jesus name. Amen.

Shalom!
