Facing Reality

The Nollywood in most of us will want us to believe that by the time we stretch out our hands with the Bible
and shout Holy Ghost fire five times, fire will come from no where and burn down Corona virus.
The Assistant God among us will want us to believe that for the righteous and holy people, they are saved from
Corona virus and can never be infected.
The spiritual prophets that speak directly to God among us will want us to believe that they are going to China
to destroy Corona virus because it is impossible that they are prophets of God and the disease will be killing
people.
Those whose faith seemed greater than that of Abraham are busy telling us that closing churches, not shaking
hands or even giving Holy Communion on the hands because of Corona virus is a sign that we are faithless.
Friends, many people have died because of this virus. Some are priests/pastors.
I have always mentioned it here, some of these brands of believes and understandings of God make mess of
Christianity. Most of us, even without knowing, carried the fetish, diabolical, and magical part of our traditional
religion into Christianity.
The team that may find the vaccine for this terrible virus may not be Christians and they don't have to be. Some
of those that have died so far of this virus are not more sinners than any of us and it is not a sign that we serve
God wholeheartedly more than them.
Faith is not denial. If you see a terrorist putting a bomb in your house and instead of taking the common sense
measure of running away with your family, you decided to stay there lifting up your Bibles and speaking in
tongues in the name of praying over the bomb, it will explode and you will die.
Simple precautions like washing your hands regularly, don't touch your face, if you feel any symptom, call for
help, keep your faith in God alive whether in your house or in the church, is this difficult to do?
We all know this. . .
In spiritual or moral matters listen to priests/pastors more before anyone.
In legal matters, listen to lawyers more before anyone.
In health matters, listen to a qualified doctor or professional medical practitioners more before anyone.
This is common sense.
But we know that preachers will always make every issue look like they are spiritual issues. That is where they
get most of you.
You are not married. . . Boom, it is spiritual.
You are owing your landlord. . .it is spiritual.
Your father died due to poor health care in your country. . . Boom, it is spiritual.
Corona virus is killing people. . .boom, it is spiritual.
Is Corona virus spiritual simply because we have not seen the cure or what? There was a time HIV/AIDS, TB,
Ebola were also branded as spiritual. What happened to them now, do we still see them as spiritual?
Or
Does Corona virus affect people's spirits or souls even after it has affected the body that is making us to say it
is spiritual
Why do we think that the God who gives us faith to believe will contradict himself with what he gives us to know
through reasonings and common sense?

All ailments are spiritual. But because they affect the body, they can be cured medically

One should take all the preventive measures necessary, but if at last the one gets it, God can heal the one. I am not tellng you to believe because I dont know the God you serve. The Almighty God, God who can, and does all things, is the God I serve. He is able, willing and ready to heal anyone of this sickness. God can prevent you from gettng the sickness in the first place. I am not sayng one should DELIBERATELY go and mix with a patient to test God. God doesnt work that way. In the course of ur routine life you can come in contact wt a patient without knowng, God will protect you. God honors those that honor Him. Do you honor God? If you do, be rest assured He wl honor you, includng making you not to get this sickness, and healng you if it attacks you. Do you believe?

You are very very correct bro. I like the fact that u stated this " one should take all preventive measures necessary " There is no sickness that God can't prevent or cure. But we on our part needs to safeguard ourselves first from contacting the virus and that's the message the priest is trying to pass across.
