Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?
or shall a nation be born at once? (Isaiah 66:8)
Almost every person in the entire world has been affected by the COVID-19 virus pandemic as individuals, families, communities and nations confront life or death situations on a daily basis. We must admit that the rapid spread of the deadly Coronavirus which broke during the first quarter of 2020, has caused the entire world to stop and cease from the busyness of everyday life.
In the midst of this global dilemma, it would seem as though God has allowed an interruption in man’s schedule; shifting his attention from the daily cares of life to now seeking to understand what is important in life. From the empty streets of Italy, the abandoned garment districts of New York or the deserted train stations of London; nations are experiencing a shaking that many have never seen before.
During this time, the focus is no longer how to “keep up with the jones” or what is the latest Hollywood style or which team made it to the NBA. No! In the light of an almost apocalyptic existence many seek answers to the present grave dilemmas of the day and an understanding of the the uncertain future which they now face. As entire nations have fallen to their knees in prayer and repentance before God, I believe that it is time for the nations to return to God. News reports indicate that people have lined the streets of their cities and are praying can crying out to God. I believe this global pandemic will spark a much needed revival of prayer for many nations. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time. (Psalm 60:22)
PRAYER: I pray that you will get to know Jesus as your Lord, personal Savior , Healer and Deliverer. If you are a believer, I pray that you will seek after a greater knowledge of God and that the Spirit of God will continue to draw you into His presence so that you can be guarded and protected by His mighty power.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION: I decree and declare that you will continue to trust in God for every area of your life and that Jesus is and always will be the answer for every situation that you will ever experience. Amen!
