12 Blessings of Covid19 Churches Lockdown
To prevent the spread of Corona virus(Covid19), it is safer for everyone to stay in their homes. And for the first time in the history of man, all places of worship were unanimously lockdown!
The lockdown phenomenon on places of worship, especially the Church buildings seem to many people to be out of place.
Forks religiously believe that church is a place where people are expected to go to in order to seek the face of God. Thank God, you and I know that the face of God cannot be lockdown! Church is a body of Christ, not a building!
In this situation of fear, it is reasonable for people to seek refuge in church. Unfortunately, the church as it is perceived has been lockdown alongside every other places of worship and places of social gathering.
Many of us are looking at the dark and sad side of Covid19 lockdown.
The four bright and the good sides of the Churches lockdown
What are the messages these Churches lockdown are passing across to you?
Your relationship with God is not all about your place of worship. God treasure your personal relationship with Him. Your body is His temple! You need to build this relationship with God now.
God is your refuge. It is not your place of worship. Places of worship can be lockdown, but God cannot be lockdown. You should be spiritually connected to God, who is your refuge.
Your fellowship with God is not Sundays nor midweeks service thing. It is your everyday activity. Fellowshipping with God should be your way of life.
The Church as the body of Christ and the Christians as individuals need to forcefully take their rightful place in both physical and spiritual realm. Now is the time to gracefully manifest your authority over sickness.
12 Things you can do differently in this lockdown:
Spend more time with God and grow spiritually.
Use the time that is available to you now to enjoy with your family.
Think less of yourselves and more of other people.
You should be less reliant on your meetings with men of God before you do anything. Now is the time to grow your relationship with God. He can talk to you too!
Now is the time to take prayer seriously. Prayer means talking to God and telling Him how you feel. It is a talking and listening session. God wants to talk to you too.
You can learn orderliness and obedience to authority.
You can learn how to budget and manage your resources. Who knows what is coming on the economy?
You can learn how to make plans by using the option method. For instance, if option A failed, option B might work or even option C!
You learn the ability to think outside the box. Sometimes, your best option might not be the right option.
Let think that perchance, if you eventually lose your job, what is next thing to do? You can start thinking of other things you can do now.
The stay at home to stay safe can be a blessing in disguise! Now you can write that book or read that book.
Your family can even get to know you dearly.
Blessings usually come like tragedy in disguise. Do not waste your time waiting for covid-19 phenomena to go away. It has come to stay, just like malaria, small pox, HIV, chicken pox, Ebola virus, etc.
Stand up and do something, while keeping yourself safe. #StaySafe
