Faith Over Fear of Corona Virus

Corona virus has become a house hold word globally and has on its heels much fear that could kill even before the virus hits.In the face of this unseen enemy whose impact could be deadly, faith in God is the only sure way to emotional stability and composure necessary to take the right action.

Faith and fear are strong forces and both could be transmitted through one-on-one communication, social media, newspapers and other media.Faith is belief in the possibility of a possible outcome in a situation.Reversely fear is the conclusion that the worse will happen even when there is no reasonable, concrete evidence to warrant such conclusion.

Religions all over the world express belief in a supreme being who is able to do all things.That being the case,it does not make sense to allow oneself to be overwhelmed by the fear of being infected by Corona virus.

It will be better to entertain the optimistic outlook that this pandemic will fizzle out just as others did in the past.Ebola is a recent example, therefore faith over for fear of Corona virus is the much needed balance.

Through the help of God medical science will assuredly provide answers to many diseases that plague humanity.God is in control of seeming insurmountable challenges, therefore there is no need to fear that the worst could happen.

Jesus On the Cross Was No Weekend Fun

Image
So Jesus actually died on the cross on a Friday known and referred to by Christians world over as Good Friday? Yes,he died on the cross and that was not a weekend fun.It was a serious heavenly mandate by God that he should take upon himself the sins of mankind.For the Scripture has said that; "Without the shedding of blood there would be no remission of sin". Certainly Jesus was not on a heroic weekend adventure to proof his importance in the world's scheme of things.He was on a mission to accomplish the divine agenda for the redemption of mankind. Adam and Eve had sinned in the beginning and therefore brought about the alienation of mankind from God.To "buy" mankind back to fellowship with God, Jesus had to pay the price with his life on the Cross on that black Friday popularly known by Christians as Good Friday. Good Friday is so regarded because it was on that Friday that the numerous woes of those who will believe was nailed to the Cross.But to J...

Jesus March Changes Political and Religious Landscape In Nigeria

NIGERIA -- Right from the 1960s until recently, politics in Nigeria has been characterised by killing, assassinations, burning down of houses and the kidnapping of political opponents. One of such developments was the Operation Wetie of 1960 in South-West Nigeria. Following these, concerned observers and political interest groups had thought that elections would never be free and fair in Nigeria, especially with what happened in 1993 when the election won by business mongul Moshood Abiola was cancelled even though it was widely adjudged the most credible election so far. What is the solution to our political problems? Nigerians have always asked. But surprisingly, the last election held in April this year was very peaceful and the swearing in took place in May as expected despite monumental electoral fraud and disenfranchisement of eligible voters. The organisers of the 50 Million Man Jesus March which took place in December 2006, and is expected to continue, believed that the Ma...
