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.

Land Sharks

Romans 5: 1-5/2 Timothy 4: 6-8   For many persons, the land is as dangerous as the sea because of the many sharks which traverse the territorial areas that is called life. No one can escape them even though they may try because the truth of it encounters with sharks help to add substance to one’s experiences. Life is designed so that sharks are an ever-present danger to test your faith. The Apostle Paul in his writings to Rome opines that tribulation (sharks) leads to patience and patience, experience; experience, hope (Romans 8: 4-3).   Land Sharks appear in many different forms such as people, places and things yet even so we have to push through because we have a resilient nature which lies at our very core, we want to survive; we need to survive. It’s as Charles Darwin puts it that we will adapt rather than choosing to simply no longer exist.  Not all sharks can be conquered or avoided but that does not mean that you will be destroyed because when the great sa...
