What the Lord Is Saying on Covid-19. Part I

Good day, everyone

I hope this message meets you well. Having spent the past few weeks chasing the coronavirus demon up-and-down back to the pit of hell whence it came, perhaps we are now calm enough to hear that still, small, voice, and obediently agree that our priority is our own salvation and the guaranteed resultant divine protection.

Implicit in this our salvation of course is evangelism in whatever form. Nearly 2 000 years ago (c. 33 CE), Jesus Christ told his followers:
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. John 15: 16

Realising that in these last days, there will be critical times hard to deal with (2 Timothy 3: 1) and requiring having the Lord’s ear all the time for urgent direction, I was led to embark on the #haveJesus campaign last August, which with the prompting of the Holy Spirit grew to include #sonnotslave, #waitingforJesus, and #mysocialmediaforJesus.

In this campaign, one posts at least one verse of scripture per day on their social media platforms. Emphasis is on verses that promote the authority of Jesus Christ (his divine origin, impeccable teachings, his awesome miracles and signs and wonders, etc.), the sonship he gives, his continued existence in heaven, and his return; #Jesus is preached, not denomination!

Oh, Jesus is coming back; there is no doubt!

Now, on the #Covid-19, this has always been my personal position based on the little I hear from above: the end of the world will be marked by, among other things, pestilence (noisome and quiescent Luke 21: 11). Oh, this nCovid-19 is only one out of many; but Jehovah is able to protect his own children! And this is the thrust of this message.

How can you be sure? you say.
I am sure because He has done it before, about 3 500 years ago in c. 1513 BCE:
The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
Exodus 12: 13

And now he is set to do it again. About 1 900 years ago, c. 96 CE, he showed John Zebedee many of the things now happening today, and how he would precisely secure his own children: Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. Revelation 7: 3

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. Revelation 9: 4

God will therefore secure his children by placing an invisible seal on them.

How does one get this seal?

1. Accept Jesus
   And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1: 13
2. Having accepted Jesus, stand firm in Him
   Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.2 Corinthians 1: 21, 22

Why Jesus?
On Jesus Christ God the Father has placed his seal of approval. John 6: 27b
Concerning Jesus, God said severally: “He is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” Matthew 3: 17, Mark 1: 11, Luke 3: 22; Matthew 17: 5.

This disease is no respecter of persons, why should I believe you? Hear Apostle Peter:
If God did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people [in c. 2370 BCE], but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes [in c. 1933 BCE], and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men

If this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. 2 Peter 2: 5-7, 9

•Therefore stop being unrighteous, #haveJesus…today!
•Remember, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91: 1
