“In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord” (Psalm 77፡2)
Plagues are what the world is enduring of which GOD’s anger is witnessed. His rage over his lenience, earth got filled with fear and anxiety where mortals cared to acknowledge the existences of him. Even those relying on their wealth or scientific knowledge fearing of what is yet to come, if no medicine for the new deadly virus Corona is found, have begun crave him.
Resurrection
Even though Adam’s body was decomposing and rotting in the grave with its power revoked for a while, he was able to gain power and conquer death because it inseparably became one with the nature of the Deity afterwards. Christ suffered in the flesh and went to the grave, He beat death with His Deity and Divine authority and made the flesh with which He inseparably united victorious. By wearing man’s flesh which was humiliated, scorned, and crushed, He took man back to his place of dignity and honored him.
“Cleanse your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (James 4:8)
Washing hands, prohibiting contingence and keeping distances from throng sophistication as such are labeled out. Though this might help reduce public pressure and the degree of expansion of the virus, yet it is likely to kill more lives; and thus, all who are the in the eyes of the LORD, shall look up to the sky and pray for mercy as this is a plagues out of GOD’s rage. Being the result of our sin, people’s soul surviving reckoning on the will of repentance; or else, as it is written, “Only you have I known from all the clans of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” (Amos 3:2) Washing our hands might seem to help feel like we are clean, but the real meaning and value of it is to cleanse from sin. Just like stated in the Holy Bible, “Cleanse your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (James 4:8)
“Oh LORD, I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:25)
The world’s powerful leaders of this generation have come to believe of GOD’s presence and raise their eye up to the heaven. Countries like Russia, America and Ethiopia sprayed Holy Water and burned incense in their capital cities as well as vital places. Church Ministers, Priest and Deacons have been engaged in this liturgy, hoping GOD will turn his anger into his mercy. Just as it’s written in the bible, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen,” (Heb.11:1) faith is our hope.
“Uttering GOD’s leniency is immense, don’t sin over sin” (Syracuse 5:5)
Mankind should lament for all evil doings, seek redemption and repentance. Being delude by temptation and misinterpreting his words, “GOD’s is merciful” is flaws since it is also stated, “Uttering GOD’s leniency is immense, don’t sin over sin” (Syracuse 5:5)
