COVID-19, is one of the signs of the end-time, and one of the four judgments of God, upon the world, that is defiled with the sins of bloody crimes, love of money, pride of life, oppression of the poor, whose tears have reached heavens. These four judgments of God are written in EZEKIEL 14:21, and I quote, “For thus said the Lord God; how much more when I send my four judgments upon Jerusalem, THE SWORD AND THE FAMINE and the NOISOME BEAST and the PESTILENCE, to cut off from it, man and beast?”
What the God of heaven wants to achieve with COVID-19, is to bring the people of the world unto repentance, so that they will look up to Him for salvation, and to acknowledge the fact that He is the Lord, as written in Isaiah 45:22 and I quote, “LOOK UNTO ME AND BE YE SAVED, ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. FOR I AM GOD AND THERE IS NONE ELSE. In EZEKIEL 33:11 God says and I quote, “I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF THE WICKED: BUT THAT THE WICKED TURN FROM HIS WAY AND LIVE.”
In 2 CHRONICLES 7:13, it is written and I quote, “If I shut the heaven, that there will be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence (COVID-19) among my people.” And in VERSE 14, it is written, if the people of God who are called by His name, will only humble themselves, and turn from their own wicked ways, and seek His face and pray, as they assemble together, the Lord will hear from heaven, He will forgive their sins, and then heal the land of this deadly virus.
But if churches are shut down and the people of God forsake the assembling of themselves together, the Lord God in His wrath, will shut the heaven against the land, and there will be no showers of blessing from heaven, upon such a land. The door of God’s mercy will be shut against that land, and the days of Covid-19 will be prolonged. The days of Covid-19 can only be shortened for the sake of true churches of God, who cry unto Him, night and day as written in MATTHWE 24:22, and I quote “AND EXCEPT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE SHORTENED, THERE SHOULD NO FLESH BE SAVED: BUT FOR THE ELECT’S SAKE THOSE DAYS SHALL BE SHORTENED.”
In 1 JOHN 2:18, it is written and I quote “LITTLE CHILDREN, IT IS THE LAST TIME: AND AS YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ANTI-CHRIST SHALL COME, EVEN NOW ARE THERE MANY ANTI-CHRISTS: WHEREBY WE KNOW THAT IT IS THE LAST TIME.” ANTI-CHRISTS WILL ADVOCATE FOR THE CLOSURE OF CHURCHES, BECAUSE, very soon Anti-christ will make himself known to the world, after the rapture of the saints of God, which shall take place, like a thief in the night, when no man knows the hour or the day, or month or year.
Thank God, that the Governor of Edo State did not succumb to the pressure of anti-christs, to close down churches but he continuously emphasized on social distancing. This Governor honoured God and His church, which is the body of Christ. And the Lord God will honour him, because it is written in 1 SAMUEL 2:30c, and I quote “FOR THEM THAT HONOUR ME I WILL HONOUR, AND THEY THAT DESPISE ME SHALL BE LIGHTLY ESTEEMED.” Other Governors in some States despised God, by closing down churches. These Governors are ignorant of the scripture that says that “EXCEPT THE LORD KEEP THE CITY (AGAINST COVID-19), THE WATCHMAN (any Governor) WAKETH BUT IN VAIN.”
Therefore, the role of the true men of God in these perilous times, is to cry to God, to keep Edo State under His “watch.” The Name of the Lord, which is the truth, is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe as written in PROVERBS 18:10.
In MATTHEW 21:13, JESUS CHRIST SAID, HIS HOUSE, THAT IS THE TRUE CHURCH, SHALL BE CALLED THE HOUSE OF PRAYERS FOR ALL NATIONS. Therefore, if true houses of prayers are shut down, where will prayers be offered unto God for Covid-19, to come to an end.
True men of God must have faith in the power of God to deliver the people from death, caused by this virus; and faith in His power to put an end to this deadly virus, because Jesus has the key of hell and of death, as written in REVELATION 1:18, and I quote “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
In ISAIAH 59:1-2, it is written, and I quote “BEHOLD, THE LORD’S HAND IS NOT SHORTENED, THAT IT CANNOT SAVE; NEITHER HIS EAR HEAVY, THAT IT CANNOT HEAR: BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD, AND YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE FROM YOU, THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR.” The sins and the iniquities of most men of God, and the people of God, have shortened the hands of God from saving us from Covid-19, and have made Him, not to hear the prayers of men of God, especially the sin of hypocrisy, amongst most men of God. And except men of God, turn away from their hypocrisy, there will be no healing in the land, even if they pray, because Jesus has pronounced woes upon hypocrites, as written in MATTHEW 23:25-28, and I quote “WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! FOR YE MAKE CLEAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP AND OF THE PLATTER, BUT WITHIN THEY ARE FULL OF EXTORTION AND EXCESS. THOU BLIND PHARISEES, CLEANSE FIRST THAT WHICH IS WITHIN THE CUP AND PLATTER, THAT THE OUTSIDE OF THEM MAY BE CLEAN ALSO. WOE UNTO YOU SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! FOR YE ARE LIKE UNTO WHITED SEPULCHRES, WHICH INDEED APPEAR BEAUTIFUL OUTWARD, BUT ARE WITHIN FULL OF DEAD MEN’S BONES AND OF ALL UNCLEANNESS. EVEN SO YE ALSO OUTWARDLY APPEAR RIGHTEOUS UNTO MEN, BUT WITHIN YE ARE FULL OF HYPOCRISY AND INIQUITY.
Men of God, who are hypocrites, are blind guides, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel, leading, their congregation astray unto the ditch!
Let them who have hears, hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
