Unmasked: Armored for the Pandemic


Ephesians 6: 10-18

 

The true pandemic that we face in our society today is sin, aside from the Bubonic Plague of the 14th century, the Spanish Flu of 20th the century and the Covid19 of 21st century its sin that has remained the one constant throughout the centuries. Sin is simply the transgression or breaking of the law of the Creator. (1 John 3:4) So while we are able to use the many medical recommendations as precautionary measures to keep us safe the Apostle Paul in Ephesians also created a guideline that all can follow to keep themselves safe from this pandemic called sin.

 

For the evil one can transform himself and appear as an Angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:4) and deceive you so that you believe a lie. With this said it becomes wisdom for us to ensure we put on the whole Armor of God so that we can stand fast against the plans of the enemy.

 

Approaches to Preventing Pandemics

 

The Medical Approach

 

The Biblical Approach Sin

 

Public Education

 

Loins of Truth


Dissemination of Correct information 

 

Breastplate of Righteousness

 

Available Healthcare for All

 

Feet with The Gospel

 

Laws to Protect the Environment

 

Shield of Faith

 

Going Green

 

Helmet of Salvation

 

International Environmental Policies

 

Sword of The Spirit

 

Now significantly while the medical approaches to preventing pandemics may change or vary depending on the type of pandemic the worlds experts are dealing with the biblical approach will always be the same as prescribed above, the Armor of God is capable of dealing with it all. The Armor of God adds to the life of the believer the truth of righteousness brought by the gospel of peace working faith to bring salvation through the word of God by His Spirit.

An Election Year

  2 Peter 1: 10 Across the global 2020 elections loom from Africa to Oceania and from Europe to the Americas with over more than one hundred nations set to send their citizens to elect a new government to the most high ranking post in their country. Yet a deadly virus (Covid19) has in many regions affected the election process as was the norm causing governments to delay or suspend elections however for the most part many have gone ahead to allow the people to exercise their franchise (vote). In a time where the central focus of the general populace seems to be focused on the Covid19 situation, the governments around the world have taken the stance that its important for the processes of government to continue. With regards to holding elections amidst the threat of a deadly virus, you may say is putting the life of electors in jeopardy, what it comes down to is choice. Its good that we look to the idea that no one can/should force the hand of an elector to go out and vote.  So...

Goshen: The State of Rest

As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. (Matthew 24:37) We are not facing our first crisis in these times neither will we be facing the last one of this and many generations to come. Yet despite all that is happening around us as the people of God we rest safely and peacefully in Goshen not as fools but as wise aware of the times because the days are evil. Goshen as revealed in the biblical text occurs in Genesis/Exodus as a place of safety; a space where the lands of the enemy could not touch Gods chosen people or where the ten Plagues of Egypt could not enter. Likewise, amidst the current global crisis rested assured that like the children of Israel in Egypt though you are tested and tried there is peace during the storm. Let  not  your heart be troubled:  ye believe in God ,  believe also in me . (St. John 14 v 1) Be comforted in this time of crisis for those around people of God because though the world is in that sort of mode those ...
