THE RIGHT RESPONSES AND REACTIONS OF CHRISTIANS IN TIMES LIKE THESE

Christians, all over the world are faced with the challenges of these uncertain times especially with the outbreak of COVID-19 that have claimed lives and left many isolated, quarantined or on lockdown in their houses.

As believers, however, our disposition to the current situation of the world should not be as those who do not know God for the Bible teaches us that the thoughts of God towards us are of peace and not of evil to give us an expected end Jeremiah 29:11. With this knowledge, Christians are expected to do the following in reaction to the situation:

1) Pray- Take time to talk to God more and to intercede for others, for Nations, for as many that are affected, for lost souls etc. The word of God in Psalms 50:15 says “And call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me”.

2)Have Faith in God- this is a time for Christians to have strong faith in God and demonstrate same in speech, interaction and contributions on social media, holding on to God’s word and trusting in His promises.

3)Draw up a daily schedule for Bible Study and personal fellowship with God- this is a time that comes with the privilege of the luxury of time and Christian should use this to create a schedule to study the word of God and fellowship personally with the Lord and they should be disciplined with this. You need spiritual sensitivity to connect the revelation of what God is saying at this time.

4)Re-examine oneself- it is also a time for each person to re-examine themselves and reflect on the genuineness of their salvation and service to God to be sure that they are still on God’s side, to repent in areas needed and to reconnect back to God completely.

5) Be obedient to every commandment, rules and regulations from God. Disobedience at this time can lead to distraction and destruction.

6)Hold on to God’s Promises- the Bible is full of numerous promises that God has for His Children so Christians should constantly declare these promises upon their lives and families at this time.

7)Show care- Christians should show a good example of believers at this time by checking on family members and Brethren. They should also assist those with genuine needs around them.

8)Be Strong- Christians should be strong in God and never spread any negative news contrary to God’s word and Government efforts; they should stay away from negative mindsets that can lead to panicking. 2 Timothy 1:7 admonishes that God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and of a sound mind.

9)Observe hygiene and preventive measures- washing of hands constantly with soap and clean water and the use of Sanitizer that contains a moderate percentage of alcohol should be done to prevent the spread of the disease.

10)Adherence to Government Directives- every directive given by the Government should be strictly adhered to especially as regards Social distancing, stay safe and stay at home because it’s for our safety.

11)Emotional and Mental Health is Key- At this time, Christians should maintain healthy emotional and mental health. (PROV 4:23)They should dwell on positive news, thoughts and choose faith over fear. This is not the time to start counting losses of business opportunities and showing uncertainty about the future. God is in control

All these points should be imbibed by true believers because we know that our God reigns over all situations and that as He has promised, The Lord Jesus will not leave us nor forsake us. We shall all come out of this critical situation unhurt and it shall end in praise in Jesus name.
