The Fear of COVID-19

The world has been thrown into a state of fear and panic among the most powerful nations. The fear of COVID-19 has generated huge budgets now to contain the disease. Why this fear? The disease is now in several countries spreading like wide fire. The big, the mighty, the little and small are all threatened. The presence of this disease is collapsing economies and bringing the once-powerful nations to their knees. Schools are closing down and workplaces are becoming empty.

interestingly, science and technological advancement have not been able to deal with this disease yet. We are told that it will take sometime before we get a vaccine for this COVID-19. Meanwhile, we do not have any cure for the disease yet.

As we can see, science and technology would always be limited. As humans, we have our limitations. We are not all-knowing as some scientists would want us to believe sometimes. Despite the explosion of knowledge, we are still challenged in dealing with this disease.

Christians must ignite hope to the fearful world. We have a sure WORD for this disease. We cannot fold our hands and cry with the fearful world. When Paul was in that ship and there were challenges, he assured the people with him that the God he serve would deliver them and God preserved their lives. We know the source of this disease. Scientists may have their source and would want to justify that, but we know that Satan is the source of all diseases.

Let us go back to the WORD and reflect on Luke 10:19 and Psalm 91. We must assure the world with these scriptures. We must let the world know that the cure is the WORD. Scientists can go ahead with their research, we can also come around with faith and hope in the WORD. There is a name that is above every other name including COVID-19. Jesus is the name. When we mention the name of JESUS, every other name will bow.

AS CHRISTIANS, WE MUST IGNITE FAITH AND HOPE TO ASSUAGE THE FEARFUL WORLD.
