Dealing With The Coronavirus As A Christian: What You Must Know by unstoppable51(m): 9:20am On Mar 29, 2020
It is no news that a virus “coronavirus” is currently spreading across the globe like wildfire. As with earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes and other natural disasters, opportunists are already taking advantage of the situation to say that God is the one using this particular virus to punish the world for their sins and force them to come back to Him.

On the other hand, those who do not believe in the existence or the goodness of God, are making it look like God doesn’t care about the world. “If He cares, why will He let such an evil thing come upon the same people He claims to love” they say.

If you continually give a listening ear to such, they will take away your eyes from the more deadlier diseases and infections that God has in the past delivered and given man the wisdom to keep them in check. Such statements will even make you forget the supernatural healings we have witnessed God perform on the behalf of those who trusted in Him.

Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psa 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies


Testimonies abound of people getting healed of medically incurable diseases. Very many of them. God has continually demonstrated His goodness in pulling men from the pangs of death, right there on their sick beds. Even when the doctors have given up on them. If He did it once, He can do it again and again, and again! We simply have to hold on to His promises.

From the activities of the virus, we are confident that God is definitely not behind it. And knowing this, we can be bold enough to reject it from our lives. By prayer and by common sense!

By prayer here, I mean praying for yourself and members of your family. That their lives are spared from this virus and every other one out there. That no harm by any means come upon them.

You also pray for the world, that the wisdom of God be given to our medical personnels who are out there in search of the cure. That the light of God shine on the right part for them. That they look and see the medical solutions, even in the least expected areas. That they leave no stone unturned, looking down on it and concluding that solutions cannot come from such.

Some sicknesses and viruses can be demonic. As is the case of the man we read about in the scriptures.

Mat_9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
Mat_9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.


While the rest of the people saw the man as having a medical challenge. Jesus saw the challenge as spiritual and addressed it as such. So while we pray for the men working tirelessly in the medical field for a solution to this, let’s also pray that nothing supernatural hinders their efforts. Especially by causing the virus to spread even further, beyond control.

Apart from handling the outbreak spiritually, also apply common sense in your day to day activities when it comes to avoiding the virus. The essence of God giving us a brain is so that at moments like this we can use it and stay safe from certain things. Like my mentor use to say, “the blood of Jesus washed away our sins, not our brains.”

Abide by the safety and prevention guidelines being rolled out by our medical personnels whom God has given the wisdom to guide us at such a time. Do not put yourself and others in unnecessary danger and then blame God for the aftermaths. Learn about the virus from very reliable sources and don’t join others in spreading falsehood about it.

Most importantly, do not live in fear of the virus or the infections. Our God is well able and strong to heal and deliver us from it. He will give the scientists wisdom to find the medical cure for it. But even in the absence of that, we trust in His divine power to keep us.

We saw the rise and fall of anthrax, bird flu, ebola and the rest of them. In no distant time from now, we will see the end of the coronavirus too. It shall join the list of the viruses and diseases we have all seen and overcome.

While we wait on that, I pray “that both you and all that concerns you be kept safe at this time. That angels work tirelessly on your behalf spiritually and physically, to keep you very far from the virus.”

Never forget to apply common sense and abide by the health guidelines given by experts on this. Remember, Jesus washed away our sins, not our brains. And he did it for only one purpose- so we could use it.

Coronavirus is not God’s way of punishing or teaching the world any lesson. Quit attributing to God the very destructive works of the devil.

James_1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

If it’s not good and perfect, it cannot and can never be from God!

I hope this blesses you!

If you believe God is the Master and Lord of the whole universe, if you believe nothing ever happens in the world without God's approval, then you must believe He allowed this for a reason. Divine retribution upon a rebellious race isn't a revenge and it won't be the first time God is judging humanity by allowing their own sins become the source of their punishment.

NB: this pandemic is only a tip of the iceberg, more deadly ones are coming but God has a way of protecting His righteous ones.

I didn't see "this thread is for Christians only?"

"Are you a christian?"

Wow, it is good every one can comment on a christian topic.

My say on this is that everyone should learn how to pray in their house.

Read your bible, pray, believe God is supreme and be hopeful things are gonna get back to normal.

His ways and thoughts are different from ours. Because He is silent doesn't mean He is blind, or deaf. He is still on the throne using the earth as His footstool.
Faith of many will melt and crashed and many eyes will be opened to the Light of God which is our Lord Jesus.

QUARANTINE IS IN THE BIBLE. Leviticus Chapter 13 shows God instructing Aaron and Moses and giving them conditions under which sick Israelites should be quarantined. Breaking rules set by the government on social distancing and prohibition of physical gatherings is not an application of faith: it is plain foolishness. We cannot be more Christian than God Himself.

Dunno about other Christians, but I want the rapture to happen. Let this hustle, fighting and struggles come to an end.

Fact check - - - - > Do you know many atheist will run back to Nairaland to search through threads when the rapture happens?? I would have loved to see the comments they will make that time but tufia.. I won't miss the first flight. cheesy

Our help is in the name of God, the maker of heaven and earth.

He promised that the plan he has for us is of good and not of evil, to give us an expected end.

Our expectations is to end the virus ASAP Lord God.

It is well.
By the time this pandemic will be over, I will be waiting for all those gullible pastors to come and collect corona thanks giving offering or corona special pledge because you are alive.
Many of the scammers among them will use all format to recover all the money they have missed in this period.
They were asking one to support the church members that are less privileged the other time, he was saying tithe belongs to God, he can't spend it. I was wondering, what's the whole duty of man as commanded by our Lord Jesus? Pastors should be the last person to have any tangeble money in their special accounts now while their members are languishing in hunger.
Now many of them have gone mute, let this pandemic be over, you will see them boasting and reformatting.
