The Pandemic
I have heard rumours in the past few weeks that some people think this pandemic was initiated by the effort of a few individuals who wanted to find ways to earn more money in the pharmaceutical industry; by creating a disease then finding the vaccine for it. In this way, they will be the only company who will produce the vaccine, therefore, becoming rich. I do not want to believe any of this, because it is hard to imagine that a fellow human being could kill so many people just to scare the world into buying their vaccines.
If these stories we hear are true however, then these people have not accomplished it alone, they must have been influenced by the devil. There is no human being who can source such harm to their fellow human being by themselves without the help of supernatural powers. It works the same way as there is no human being who would go out to preach to people and be able to bring 1 million soles into the Kingdom of God in one meeting. These people must be under the influence of the Holy Spirit for that to happen.
How did we arrive here?
I was thinking about this pandemic and asking God, what happened? How have we arrived here and how do we get out of this? Then after a few days, I had this strong impression within me that said, “our walls are down”. This means that it is like having a house with doors open all the time and anyone and anything can come in and do whatever they feel. I did understand what it meant in a spiritual sense, so I started repenting for myself and my country.
We as individuals have caused our country and nation to sin and consequently, we have opened the door to the enemy. The wages of sins are death, as we all know. Romans 6.23 says that,
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
When we disobey God, as a nation or individual, this means that we are spiritually dead and due to this, we bring judgement to ourselves. For example, if I smoke cigarettes, that clearly says that it may kill me or harm my lungs, I would be stupid to blame the tobacco company if I then suffered from lung disease and say, “you made me sick”. It would be stupid because the tobacco company did their part to warn me, but I ignored the warning.
If this is true, this means that we are qualified to lose protection from God. We become susceptible to the enemy’s tricks. I am not saying that everyone who goes through challenges has disobeyed God, not at all. It could be because of someone’s disobedience, for example:
Paul in his way to Rome, encountered a shipwreck because the captain of the soldiers was against Paul’s ideas and he did not want to do what Paul suggested which would have saved their life and time, God still protected Paul and promised him that, the ship will be destroyed but he and the crew will be saved. Acts 27:9-26
We also know that God punished David. We read in the book of 1 Chronicles:
“Satan revolted against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are.”.
1 Chronicles 21:1-30
70,000 people died, due to king David’s disobedience and the whole nation suffered from his decision.
It does not matter who has done what in this pandemic, we are here now. Somehow, something has happened, and we both know God did not do it. We did it, therefore we as individuals and as the nation/world, we have to acknowledge that we have sinned, and I do believe that a majority of people all over the world have been praying to God to forgive us and help us, according to
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”.
2 Chronicles 7:14
On the 18th of March during my prayer time, I was privileged to have this vision.
I saw a lion, rising from the South, He had fire in his mouth, the fire was spread out as he roared. In front of the fire, there was this enemy chasing people (the virus obviously) The people looked like grasshoppers next to this enemy. As he was busy chasing and eating people, the lion roared very loudly and caused the enemy to turn around where he saw this lion behind him. The enemy tried to resist the lion, but the lion would not comply. In the end, the lion WON. The lion completely consumed the enemy and there was no more! The bible talks about God be a consuming fire. In Deuteronomy 9:3 the Bible says that:
“Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you.”
Deuteronomy 9:3
What Now?
I believe that the sting of this virus has already gone. We receive and we take it and we declare that it shall be no more. “We command the enemy out of our communities and our families in Jesus’ name. God’s word is final in the matter regardless of what we are seeing around us”. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:28-29 that;
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:28-29
His Kingdom cannot be shaken. We believe His unshakable word and not our circumstances as they are subject to change if even if the aftermath seems catastrophic and of a great mess.
The Promise
As I was looking around, I heard the voice saying, “the enemy was intending for full distraction. If I would have allowed him to continue, he would have destroyed millions of people. It has been only 25 minutes of the hour since he started his distraction. I have stopped him exactly at the right timing where I will be able to turn around whatever he is intended for evil. 2 plus 5 equals 7.” This means perfection. The timing is perfect for Him to recompose and cause the intended harm, to work for our good.
Our part to play: Exodus 12
A. The waves of blessings. There are waves of blessings that are coming, in fact, they are all around us. We need to position ourselves to receive the following: –
- The children of Israel were told to stay indoors while the judgement was going around. The blood on their doorpost protected them from the angel of death who was killing the Egyptians’ firstborn. We are in Christ; we are hidden in Him. We take communion each day for protection.
- They were told to dress up, ready for the journey soon after the Passover. We need to put on the full armour of God. In Ephesians 6, the Bible says that
“10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole Armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole Armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
The children of Israel left Egypt fully guarded by God. God had their back. God has our back, however, if we chose to live, we feel like it and at the same time expect God to be God in our lives, perhaps we may need to review our theologies again. He is a very merciful God equally He is also very just.
B. The waves of favour. As the children of Israel were favoured by God and God encouraged them to ask the Egyptians for valuable items. We have similar privileges today. I don’t know what God will do to us, His children, but, I know this, the enemy doesn’t have the last say to God’s people, I believe that the enemy has meant for evil through the virus Covid-19, however, God will turn things around for our sake. Genesis 50:20 says that (this is Joseph saying to his 10 brothers,) “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive”. Joseph’s brothers wanted to destroy Joseph by selling him to the Ishmaelites who sold him to the Egyptian as a slave, (read the book of Genesis for more story) but little did they knew, they were helping Joseph to get closer to his dream to be fulfilled.
2020 – A Year Of Total Vision
It appears as though there will be no recovery from where we are at this point with the coronavirus/Covid-19, but I do believe that there will be good things coming out of this, it is God’s promise and it shall come to pass.
It is very sad right now to those who have lost their loved ones, their lives will never be the same again, but God, has a way of bringing ashes to beauty, and I pray this to be evident in your life and your family today.
When this year began, many prophets sensed that this is the year of full vision, meaning, faith becoming flesh. The unseen becomes seen. It could be the blessings of healing you have been believing God for, the promotion at work, your business, finances to increase to where you have been expecting to come, whatever it may be. The enemy has tried to delay this from happening to us as individuals/ a nation, as we have clearly experienced. But it is not too late, we are literally in the realm of that wave.
I believe that by the end of April-May, as we continue to take communion each day, believing God for a breakthrough in every area of our lives, we will experience that favour which the Israelites experienced just after their Passover.
The enemy wants you and me to focus on this current destruction, his agenda is to delay God’s promises to our lives. we say no! Our focus is on you Jesus although this can be so hard when you do not have anything to eat or anywhere to live. This could be an opportunity for you and me to come close to God. The help you need may not come overnight but focusing on Jesus is a good place to start.
Please contact me if you need a chat… I will really love to talk to you.
Amen.
