PANDEMIC IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE FROM GOD
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
"Then his people believed his promises. Then they sang his praise. Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done! They wouldn’t wait for his counsel! In the wilderness their desires ran wild, testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland. So he gave them what they asked for, but he sent a plague along with it." Psalms 106:12-15 NLT Bible
The word 'plague' is the word used in the King James Version ' leanness of the soul' and it means a ' plague or pandemic '
A plague or pandemic is the result of twisting the truth of God's word , it is the result of rejecting God's wisdom while engaged in hypocritical praise singing ; many preachers teach that an energetic dynamic praise session and the ' sowing of seeds ' guarantees a miracle but contrary to this the scriptures in psalm 106:12 says God's people praised God but went about contravening universal laws that guarantees a safe ecosystem and wellbeing . This resulted in an outbreak of a pandemic that claimed many lives .
The scriptures explains this in Job 33:9-10 NLT Bible " You said, ‘I am pure; I am without sin; I am innocent; I have no guilt. God is picking a quarrel with me, and he considers me his enemy." We are thought that we have to please God in other to be blessed by him. Meanwhile , the scriptures say we are already blessed with ALL BLESSINGS ( Eph1:3 ) the born again believer is not short on blessings.
The blessing of the lord is like an umbrella and until opened it is of no use to the owner . The blessings exist as potentials that guarantees success and peace and these potentials functions under certain conditions outlined in Galatians 5:22-23.
Deliberately neglecting this has consequences , Job discovered this the hard way , " For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. “Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones. They lose their appetite for even the most delicious food. Their flesh wastes away, and their bones stick out. They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them. “But if an angel from heaven appears a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright— Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s, firm and youthful again."
Job 33:14, 19-23, 25 NLT
.
A parallel of this in the new testament is in 1 Corinthians 11:29-32 NLT
Bible " For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died. But if we would examine ourselves, we would not be judged by God in this way. Yet when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned along with the world."
Regardless of the severity of a pandemic there is a cure than can only be revealed by God " 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."
2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT Bible
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe that Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation , I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and healing from sicknesses and diseases in Jesus name .
