The Coronavirus - A Wake Up Call!

The world has been immersed with fear from the Coronavirus but I haven’t seen a big change in people’s attitudes toward God or an outpouring of evangelism heading towards a spiritual revival. So why not? God has been sending warnings to mankind since the beginning of time. Some heed those warnings and others either make excuses or write it off as a natural occurrence.

From the people I have come across, they seem more inconvenienced with the virus than anything else. They can’t go on their vacations or go shopping like they used to. They are having to stay at home and help their kids with school work. A lot of them are out of a job and sit around the house all day playing video games and watching TV. No one can attend any sporting events or concerts. Even the pools and beaches have closed. Yet very few are worried about the long term ramifications of what this is doing to the economy, our bodies and our mental health.

God sends us merciful messages via coronavirus, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, famine, etc and beckons us to repent. People seem inconvenienced and not desperate! The countries attitude after 911 was so different than what we are facing now. I am not sure if this was because we actually had a physical enemy to fear. But it didn’t take long after the destruction of 911 that things went back to normal and the patriotic mood depleted. I didn’t accept Christ into my life until I was burdened beyond my strength! I pray that people will wake up and realize their need during this time for God. I wish that people wouldn’t have to go through the pain I experienced but God’s ways are not our ways and we need to trust Him that His will be done in every situation. Keep praying for people, our country, the world.

Replying about their attitudes, to me, it seems they're ruder then ever.And we're more divided then ever.But we shouldn't be too surprised, because we read in Revelation,during the second part of the Tribulation,"And the rest of those who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of their murders nor their thefts nor their sorceries nor of worshipping idols that can neither see nor hear nor speak.And they did not give glory to the God of Heaven who has authority over these plagues."

2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Do not be a rude person. Be nice. Smile. Be happy. Jesus loves you and cares for you. This Corona virus has come to us as a wake up call from Jesus. Our life is in His hands. Just read Gods word. Pray daily and wait for Jesus coming in the clouds to take us all home to heaven. Remember, we are tenants. Jesus is the Landlord. He will come sooner than we think.

People of the world are far away from Jesus. Just as the time of Noah, people were buying and selling everywhere and mocked at Noah for building a big ship to house him,his family and all the animals of the earth, till rain came and took the lives of everyone away. This is really a wake up call coming from God. Covid 19 has come to let us know that our life is in Gods hands and everything we do must change and see salvation coming from God. Bread of heaven, feed us till we want no more. Fill our cup, fill it up and make us all whole. In Jesus name. Amen
