Corona-virus: Perilous Times...





But know in the last days perilous times will come....                                       - 2 Timothy 3:1

Its no news that all over the world, there is turmoil, safe havens are fast becoming deadly. Economies are shaking and crumbling. No one seems to have a solution to the ongoing crisis. We are in a heightened period of uncertainty. We don’t what will happen next. Coronavirus is really causing panic and fear in the minds of people. There was a large explosion recorded in a part of Lagos, Nigeria. A lot of people died and properties were destroyed.

Yes, its normal to have questions, you sometimes wonder, what the earth is turning into? Religious leaders honestly try their best to reassure their followers. Its end time they say. I am writing not just to reassure you or give you a fake calming. Truth is things will still get tougher, more difficult. This is not to scare you. God has told us all these things in advance so that we can know, get prepared and not be fearful.

Everyone want to know, what is the solution? How do we overcome this deadly plague? We all have been affected directly or indirectly. So we want answers, solutions.


Fear Not
If you could really take time and study, the fear of coronavirus is even more than the coronavirus itself. That is the mission of this plague, to bring fear into the minds of people, to cause panic in the midst of people, believers and unbelievers alike. I’m not surprise that its actually happening. Before this plaque started, God actually gave me two psalms, Psalm 91 and 23 in the place of prayers. I would not know why until the plague started. We must not let fear take hold of us in times like this. It’s the end times, so many bad things will happen but we are not to fear but rather hold on to the promises of God that all this wouldn’t come near our dwelling, we would always be overcomers in all situations.


Be Prayerful
Times like these are times where we should be praying more and more not for ourselves but for others too as well. Intercessory prayers go a long way, it’s time we come together and rebuke the enemy over our lives and affairs. Prayers Changes things. Anytime, things are good and okay, we should pray. And when things are down and scary, we should pray as well.


Personal Hygiene
Cleanliness is next to godliness; we need to make sure our personal hygiene is top notch. Washing our hands regularly wit soap and water, the use of sanitizers in public place, avoid large gathering for now and many other advices from health officials should be followed. Faith without works is vain. Because you are a believer doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the right thing or what is expected of you.  This is not the time for us to be careless about our health. This virus is deadly especially for the aged folks. If you suspect you are infected, self-isolate yourself immediately. Report to the nearest clinic or call the toll-free numbers if you are feeling unwell and showing the symptoms of coronoavirus.



I hope to write more in the coming days on this plaque, till then, we all have a duty to fear not, be prayerful and keep ourselves clean. Health officials are really trying their best, let’s support them.



I pray for you that the blood of Jesus will shield you from this plaque, it will not come near your dwellings, everyone connected with you are safe. For those infected, I decree and declare the healing hands of the Lord over you. Coronavirus is cursed down to its root and in the name of Jesus, I command it to varnish away from the earth.



Stay blessed!

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
