Lockdown Day 11: Good News

Yesterday was full of good news as there are reports of countries that are starting to flattening the curve as regards this pandemic outbreak.

One important thing we should have learnt during this lockdown is this: good news matters a lot. The past few weeks has been gloomy, bad news everywhere, businesses closed down, money not coming in, people in dire needs, hospitals been overwhelming, victims dying daily, fear and panic has taken over. In all this, you could do with a good news.

Good news is like a medicine to the heart, it's the opposite of sorrow. Of a truth, so many bad things are happening but we must make conscious effort to see the good in every situation. We should stop been permisitic, we must be hopeful and always desire good things.

Get away from the news coverage, they are mostly filled with bad news  because bad news sells fast. Intentional seek out good news. No matter how small the ray of hope might be, seek it out.

Things might be bad now but we must know it is coming to an end and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Dead rates are dropping in Spain and Italy, South Korea and China seem to have turn the tide.

While some countries are still battling, there is stil hope as victims are responding to treatment, in Nigeria, though cases have been on the rise (but largely lower than expected rates), recoveries rates are highly encouraging and severe cases are rare. African countries in general are beating expectation by the prophets of doom.

Both the old and young are even recovering in Italy. Iran's death rate is slowing down.

What you filled your mind with will determine and form your perspective in life. When there is life, there is hope and when there is a will, there is a way. Good news indirectly boost your immune system. Nothing kills slowly like a bad news which causes depression, worries and fear.

Today is a good day as more recoveries are on the rise, death rates keep dropping and the spread is been halted. Official rates round the world keep showing that the virus is becoming less and less deadly.

Remember to keep washing your hand regularly, avoid large gathering as much as possible. Wear your necessary PPEs if you are an essential worker.

In all this, I'm happy to tell you we are already overcoming this plague. More good news are coming. Always seek out the good news.

Stay Calm! Stay Hopeful!! Stay Safe!!!

Verse 1 I want to  to live lord in the world of your Glory I want to live lord in the place where you are To stay away from the pressures & cares of this life.

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
