CORONAVIRUS: WASH, WATCH AND PRAY
Oh beautiful
busy country, Nigeria,
The country
whose citizens hastily go about their affairs
‘No time to
waste time’ they always say, one to another
A country whose roads are blocked daily with traffics
hourly,
Popularly
known for breeding tough men who can adapt in any part of the world and in any
situation,
Till
Coronavirus came through a man,
Suddenly!!!
Did you miss my last blog post, kindly read and learn

Hello
dear,
Ha,
my heart is heavy! According to The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)
as at 9 pm yesterday, we had 20 new cases confirmed, we had 131 total confirmed cases and 2 deaths so far in the country. It’s overwhelming how the number
increases daily.
Businesses
are been shut, some states are totally locked down, right to freedom of
movement and associations are now wrongs, permit me to say that even if the
government offers it on a platter of gold , some people will stone the
government for been so inhuman.
Panics here
and there, strong tension like a naked live wire everywhere, pass anyone or
discuss the issue ‘Corona Virus’, you will feel it. Two days ago, I was telling
my friend that some people will die of high blood pressure if they are not
careful and intentional of their thought after all the news they read or give
themselves to .
Speaking of
news, in the past couple of weeks, I have seen, read and watched how just one
disease has changed and is changing the whole world and affecting many lives.
Many people
have come into the realisation that there is nothing in this life. One minute some
people were happy planning their lives with
so much money in their account and the
next minute they are hit with a virus that has no cure, virus that makes them
go into self-isolation and death looming around to welcome whomever the grace
of life doesn’t cover. This reminds me
of Psalm 103 vs 15
As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he
flourishes. For the wind passes over it and it is no more, And its places
remembers it no more.
Though we
are been buried in this nationwide fear, as Christians, there is a lot we can
do about it. Don’t keep quiet, pray, pray, pray (repetition is intentional) about
the disease, pray for Nigeria, pray of Nigerians, pray for all countries affected
by this pandemic.
Mordecai
said this to Esther in Esther 4: 14
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at
this time, then shall there
enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and
thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to
the kingdom for such a time as
this?
So I say to
you, If you altogether holdest thy peace (keep quiet) at this time because you
think neither your family nor friends are affected, other people will pray but
what will you then do if it befalls it?
Kindly pray
and encourage the fearful to trust in God.
What is your face behind the phone? Hmm
Watch! I am
certain God has a hand in this for Lamentations 3: 37
Good insight bro
