Good morning Man of God,my Question is like this: Do you think God's hand is with us in this season. Why is it that it looks dark, this Coronavirus disease is killing people. Now what's confusing me more is that there are these who are insulting Servants of God to be fake because they are not going there to pray for the patients if their anointing is real?
Answer:
Thank you for your question. Our maturity is tested during such times like these. We approach difficult situations according to the lighting we have. Truly, God's hand is with us. Such plagues are not the first in human history. In the book of Numbers 21, there was a plague of poisonous snakes that claimed lives of thousands. Nowhere in the bible is written that we will never experience hard times.
Read Isaiah 43:2. ......though you pass through the fire ,you will not be burned.
Such times expose a lot of hearts with hidden grudges that come out as revelation so we should be careful what we listen to. Any revelation that does not draw us only to Christ, but to men is not of God.Those who are called of God and have matured will concentrate on bringing a solution that even the Body of Christ will be strengthened not divided.
1Kings 18 is the story of Elijah. He never wasted time debating and analyzing the lies of the prophets of Baal. He simply called them up to the mountain for an experience of the real God of Israel and after the encounter, the nation of Israel repented. Its so surprising that even those know how to correct others and accusing others to be fake also believe in the power of God but they are hiding, which shows there is no difference with the ones they accuse.
The Kingdom of God has no referee, everyone is a part of a solution in a crisis. We hear trying to exalt Fathers of faith who were there before as if they were more superior than the ones living today. Unfortunately this is a serious habit with generations. Even those who are of faith call Abraham father of faith(Roman's 4).Now tell me,did people of his day call him father of faith like we do to him today or he was just one crazy guy who just lives in tenth always burning sacrifices?Do you know that our coming generations if Chtist's coming delays are going to quote us who are living and walking if faith today. Do you know the bible says even Apostle Paul's generation is not complete without us? (Hebrews 11:40)
Let's not take this season as the end of the world, we are coming out of this. Instead we should come out stronger, more united and much encouraged.
If you take for an instant as of today globally, we have over 4 million cases of Coronavirus, 276 thousand deaths and almost 1,4 million recoveries.
If you see the recovery number against the deaths, you can see that this deadly has been defeated. Our confusion as the Church comes when we fail to celebrate those recoveries and concentrate the losses, I'm not saying we should ignore the deaths, I'm simply pointing a fact of victory.
This disease is said medically has no cure, how is it that we have so many recoveries than deaths? Who then said those healed and recovered did not pray? I tell you, after this lockdown, you will be shocked how many testimonies are going to be celebrated from the recovered ones. God is taking his glory. We will be shocked to hear what God was doing during this season of peril. The devil has been defeated. Churches are going to grow after this,what the devil thought he can destroy the Church,God is going to use it as a display of His power. I tell you, somewhere some place, God is busy with his people ,healing them and preparing for the biggest testimonies of our century. Be of good cheer, God is on our side, we have won the victory in Jesus' name!
