The Beginning and the End is not a situation or location but the personality who saw the end before settling down to set the beginning. God Almighty was not advised or assisted by man to imagine, execute or achieve Creation and man was not God's primary creation. He came after God has put down much in Creation to be both a beneficiary of and a blessing to creation and the best of creation – being the image of God the Creator.

 From when man realized his form as dust – not gold, silver, diamond, bronze or iron etc to return to the earth afterwards, he has tried so many things to overrule God or contravene divine order to no avail. He refused to be satisfied with his Maker and all that He put in places to make life pleasant for him. Envious serpent robbed him but God planned and perfected his restoration program through Jesus Christ. Till He returns to perfect the situation of as many as receive Him and live in accordance with His principles, the envious works of satan against humanity shall not cease.

 Today, Covid-19 is seeking whom it may devour with fear, fever and flu-like symptoms but as many as are in Jesus Christ are too afraid of God (who kills and makes alive) to fear what is not bold enough to have a face or form like the book-haram, herdsmen cruelness, harsh economic climate of the nation etc which has since been fashioned against the Church and the Christian faith. It has surprised the devil that they have not been able to prevail against God's structure – the Church and never will. Covid-19 is a failed ploy no matter its scope. If it rages in all the Continents of the World, it cannot dare the Church (person and structure) where the Word of God lives or is preached as a living reality. The pains it has caused peoples of different colours and languages especially the precious peoples it has turned into dust prematurely will remain evident in the global scene for long. But the joy of its unfortunate victims especially 'the Spirit of righteous ones made perfect in Heaven' would be that the Church do not succumb to the threat to his faith; that Sons of God (males and females) would exercise their faith by making the Gospel of Salvation (which cannot be bound and needs no locomotors to travel) to permeate all nooks and corners of the World, saturate the atmosphere that the plague has blacken to lighten it by the supernatural light He carries.

 It is a high time the Church shifted the focus of the World from Science to the Supernatural that the Word of God embodies. The Word of God has been with us as the Solution of all times for any problem that humanity would ever encounter but the learned proud dust or man who has no light (that God imparts through His Word) has been groping in the dark thinking he has in the Academia, Science lab, fort, armory, library, archive, chambers/ parliament, political structure; caucus or portfolio, constitution, cabinet, shrine, occult sanctum etc anything wholesome to save him in times of crisis. It is a high time man learnt that nothing has the efficacy to SAVE like the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. So, 'let everyone who names the Name of the Lord renounce all wickedness' (2 Tim 2:19). 'For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward  him' (2 Chron 16:9). (Herein thou hast done foolishly therefore from henceforth thou shall have wars).

 Therefore, as hands are regularly sanitized, face masked, contact with others minimized, news update on covid-19 yet to cause any thrill, and you return to church to succor your fatigued spirit with the beauty of God and in the beauty of holiness, consider this CURE FOR COVID and begin to live as appropriate as we daily celebrate the victory that Jesus Christ won for us at Calvary. THUS:

 'CURE' FOR CONSIDERATION

 CURE is 'a solution to a problem'. In this case, the solution to Covid-19 is implied.

To 'CURE' is to 'CORRECT UNDERMINING REGULATIONS EXPRESSLY'.

To CORRECT is to 'make or set right or amend'.

 UNDERMINING has various definitions in Dictionaries thus: 1. 'To injure or destroy by insidious activity or imperceptible stages, sometimes tending toward a sudden dramatic effect'. 2. 'To attack by indirect, secret or underhand means, attempt to subvert by stealth'.  3. 'To weaken or cause to collapse by removing underlying support'. 4. 'To gradually make someone or something less strong or effective'.

A REGULATION is a 'law, rule or order prescribed by authority especially to regulate conduct'.

EXPRESSLY means 'clearly or specifically.

 Covid-19 and fear of it has given rise to many REGULATIONS that seek to UNDERMINE relationships between man and his Maker (Saviour) and man to man. The REGULATIONS are meant to injure or destroy by secret activities or stages that are not perceivable and they result in sudden dramatic negative effects. The behaviour, practices, procedures of the brethren are regulated.

For instance, SOCIAL DISTANCING strains relationships.

They are not to stay together in unity to generate the strength that builds brotherhood and kindred.

They are not to practice handshaking, touching, embracing etc to engender warmth, affection, fellowship – a practice of kindred that bond strangers too.

They are asked to wear face mask to hinder easy recognition and familiarity with fellows – that limits the building of bonds.

They are to mask their mouths and indirectly mask their dentition (teeth) and countenance to hid their smiles and militate against ecstatic expression of emotions that promote joy, happiness, love and good health.

They propose to use the fear of infection and death from covid-19 to make the populace captives of the anti-Christ caucus and aliens to love and the truth.

They have devised that an unwholesome device (micro-chip) will be implanted into people's body to mutate, mess and maim the temple of the Living God/ Holy Spirit on the pretext of offering Vaccination for covid-19 and that will never work.

They have closed down all educational institutions and punctured academic programs in line with 'no gatherings regulations' and they mean to achieve a lame, leprous, lethargic and lackadaisical system that would not have the platform to verify or question the efficacy of their claims about covid-19.

They have regulated people's emotions:  it is hard to generate the natural disposition to love, care for, attend to the sick, ill and weak for fear of contracting covid-19 from the person under the weight of anxiety and fear of an unknown tomorrow in need of counsel and encouragement or a shoulder to lean on.

They regulate people's movement, behavior, activities and emotions to hamper productivity, engender distress and put people at the mercy of a system they have to look up to for help - which would be conditional to suit and advance their ploy against a gullible populace.

 

These and more are UNDERMINING REGULATIONS that have been brought about by covid-19 and both they that initiated, advance and enforce them and the populace who are subjected to them should NOW embrace the right CURE spelt out thus:

 C:  COMMIT YOURSELF INTO THE HANDS OF ALMIGHTY GOD:

COMMIT means 'to bind or obligate, as by pledge or assurance'.  It also means 'to promise or give your loyalty, time or money to a particular principle, person, or plan of action'. That giant hand that has held and kept the World since creation and has not allowed the devil to take or receive the glory for what happens herein is ever strong enough to shield you no matter the shakings, season or situation. Commit implies 'duty' not just a wish. What you commit yourself to, you do it unfailingly: without relaxing in seriousness.

 When you commit yourself into the hands of Almighty God, you rest therein, casting all your cares on Him because you know without a doubt that He cares for you. You trust that nothing can snatch you out of His hands – no disease, demon, plague, problem, crisis, challenge, scheme, situation, want or wickedness etc can cause Him to cease being Almighty – Above All. Like Pa Abraham, you bind yourself by a pledge to Him, and He who has not yet disappointed the seed of Abraham will never cease being Almighty towards the followers of His beloved Son -Jesus Christ.

When you are in God's hand, you are safe and need have no fear of Covid-19 whose destiny is the drain, destruction and death as hands are washed under running water or sanitized. So, see yourself in the hand that kept Abraham in Canaan, kept Jacob in Haran and Israel in Egypt because of the covenant which made Him committed to them.  Imagine that His Commitment to your good made Him to send His only begotten Son to the earth to die that you may live and not die.

 Take note that His hands are too cleanse to touch uncleanness. So, wash in the blood of Jesus Christ to be fit to enter His hands. You must keep your body and spirit from everything that defiles – a vice you indulge in; the voice of the anti-Christ that the world is attentive to, or the violation of other's right to freedom by your selfish representation and insensitivity.

Commitment can be defined by the Presence of a token. In order for God to confirm His commitment to the eternal salvation of man, He made the blood of His Son to be shed at Calvary – where Jesus Christ was nailed to the Cross. With that, satan is not able to lay any condemnation against the redeemed. His case was 'finished' long ago. The 'accuser of the brethren' failed long ago.

The Son of God who has committed or surrendered his life to God ought to put up a token to God – hold firmly to the One who went to the Cross as having being in Him through the travail and trusting God that Calvary would perfect all that concerns him.

 When one has committed himself to God, he summits or directs his ALL to God – Reverence, Resources and Requests. Jacob attained that posture at Bethel when he first got to know in reality the God of his fathers and in Reverence, he Requested and then vowed to God his Resources when his requests are granted. Thus, And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God' (Gen 28:20-22).

 Jesus Christ taught the disciples how to pray to demonstrate they have committed their ALL to God. Matt 6:9 – embodies and expresses the commitment. Reverence in Verse nine is followed by Requests: 'Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven': that is 'do not allow the schemes of the anti-Christ against humanity to stand. Let everlasting shame and reproach be their permanent heritage as they refuse to join the sheepfold of Jesus Christ for their salvation and freedom.’

'Give us this day our daily bread': 'do not allow me to lack, beg, borrow or owe no matter the economic situation of the world. Let us benefit from supernatural supplies from Heaven and let me always have enough to lend to nations and never have to borrow'.

 'And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us': ''do not shut the door of your mercy against us by reason of any wrong I do unknowingly and help me to forgive those who trespass against me'.

'Lead us not in temptation': 'do not allow me to ever have any reason to be part of, support or encourage or consent to any agenda of the anti-Christ no matter how they try to make it appear like Service or a token of love to humanity'.

'But deliver us from evil': 'since Evil is the perpetual scheme of the anti-Christ, Lord cause the Holy Spirit in me to remain ever awake to bring to light what they do in darkness that all may know – to their shame and eternal frustration'. Also, do not ever let me be slack or negligent in my duty towards the Kingdom of God as an heir of God. Give me the unction and passion to do what is needful at anytime to foil their schemes against the Church – to remain zealous at praying, fasting and supporting the courses of the Kingdom in all facets. Amen.

In expressing the limitlessness of His resources and belief in His inalienable status, Jesus taught them to affirm thus: 'For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.'

As disciples of this generation, we pray 'The Lord's Prayer' to confirm that we have committed ourselves into the hand of Almighty God as Jesus taught.

U:   UNDERSTAND YOUR HERITAGE IN JESUS CHRIST: Get reminded that Salvation is the whole insurance package that God has for His sons through Jesus Christ. Since Christ hung at the Cross, Covid finished ever before satan fashioned it to his shame. As far as the heir of Salvation was in Christ when He went to the Cross, he defeated the devil and remains 'more than conquerors' in any battle he will ever fight as the redeemed of the Lord. Moreover, the Scripture has absolved the heir of ignorance on the health benefit of salvation when the truth reads, 'Surely He bore our diseases, and took our pains. By His stripes you are healed' (Isa 53: 4-5 NIV) and 'by His wounds you have been healed' (1 Pt 2:24 NIV).

 The New Testament affirms same in Matt 8:17 'He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases'. Therefore, there are evidences in the Unfailing Word of God that God had made provisions for the safety and health of His Sons when He magnanimously sent His only begotten and blameless Son to die for us. So, the truth is not what havoc the world is going through by the negative effect of Covid-19 but what is written and stands eternally true to point the enemy to the Cross to show him what pains God subjected Christ to in order that the many who would love Him, keep His principles and please Him would live in a world of the Word that cannot be reached by the forces of wickedness. Like Israel in Egypt who were spared the diseases and afflictions that God visited on Egypt for taking undue advantage of covenant fellows, Covid-19 knows its limitations and boundaries and it cannot trespass because it is hearing the sacrificed cleansing blood of Christ speaking at Calvary for the saints.

You can emulate God as His Son. When He needed to build the earth from void, He spoke and whatever He spoke came into being. So, you are at liberty to use the authority He has bestowed on you (His Son) to speak your world into being using even His Words (as expressed above). Use the Word of God to build the worlds you want. Meditate on the Word to immunize yourself against Covid-19 and speak the Word to build a fort or hedge around you as you belief that although 'a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand. But it shall not come near you' (Psalm 91:7). Most of all, 'there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling' (Psalm 91:10).

R:  REMAIN ADHERENT TO CHRIST JESUS: Distancing the child or 'Son' from his father is sheer sabotage. It contradicts the rule that strengthens kindred. A son who needs the coverage of the father to be shielded or secured from confrontations from the society cannot practice social distancing from the father no matter what. The son needs the father's affection to have an inheritance among his brethren and he needs to play the roles of the Son to the father – giving him attention, being at his services, running his errands and being involved in his businesses etc. Therefore, Social Distancing is not to be practiced with Jesus Christ the Saviour. So, be mindful to remain close to Jesus Christ as has not being your manner when times were pleasant. Keep your heart perpetually open in worship to Him about whom life revolves. Regularly release from the resources He gives you what belongs to your faithful father  no matter how little –knowing that it would have been worst without Him and many had enough to pay to live another day who had died. That is, remain a proactive builder of the Kingdom – which is being attacked by the devil who thought he would be able to stop the proclamation of the Good News when mouths are masked. To its shame, Worship in the heart of those grateful for LIFE is still fireful and praise is still exploding from masked mouths.

As an heir of Salvation, let your relationship with Jesus Christ make the unbeliever to keep a great distance from you (if he is not yet ready to join you into the sheepfold) so that you can bond with the brethren in blissful fellowship as the Church doors open to remain perpetually opened. So, cease being a church-goer to being a Christian indeed – trusting and obeying the commandments of God in order that you may remain precious to Him and He would not hesitate to 'give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your LIFE' (Isa 43:4).

E:  ENSURE DAILY INTAKE OF THE WORD OF GOD (THE TRUTH) INTO YOUR SPIRIT: The world system is collapsing by the horrible news that emanates from all media platforms on daily basis. Daily Update on Covid-19 points to bad times ahead and not any relief because the anti-Christ is at work – scheming the ruin of humanity they do not have what it takes to bless. In line with its ministry- to kill, steal and destroy with Covid-19, the world is in a sorry state but there is perpetually Good News for those who are in Jesus Christ who is life. To show the futility of the thief, Christ proclaimed 'I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance' (John 10:10).

As the world system markets fear-imparting news and the anti-Christ spells doom, the heir of salvation has a great help in the Holy Spirit to whom he must pay attention to know what God says (even from the Word of God as he studies habitually) concerning any situation. Note that God never leaves His own without the Word that answers to any particular situation. From Genesis to Revelation, Words abound to answer the heir of Salvation. For instance, when the womb of mother Rebecca became the centre of turmoil, she went to enquire of God and the answer ministered Peace to her. 'Two manners of people are in your womb' (Gen 25:23). The same two manners of people are exerting counter forces on the world today and the Good News is that 'we are more than conquerors' (Rom 8:37). Therefore, study the Word of God to show yourself approved unto God as a 'SON' who needs not be ashamed of your faith in Christ for want of Word of encouragement from the Holy Bible or the Holy Spirit.

CURE IN A SONG

(4th Stanza of 'IN CHRIST ALONE' BY STUART TOWNEND)

'NO guilt in life

NO fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell

No scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I stand'.

PRAYER FOR CURE

Lord Jesus, thank you for being the CURE I need to be whole. I accept you as my Saviour as I desire the strength to stand in this times when covid-19 and regulations to keep safe are undermining – insulting, injuring and ensnaring humanity. Dear Lord, forgive all the sins I had committed. Now, I have come to take my rightful place as a Son of God. The world and the devil have lost their grip on me because I am for Jesus. Now, I depend on you for my safety and security from the plague and pandemic by the supernatural power in your blood and name. Dear Lord, please help me to embrace the divine revelation encapsulated in 'CURE' which is the supernatural answer for this season and beyond. I pledge that I have Committed my life into the hands of the Almighty God. I trust the Holy Spirit to help me to Understand my Heritage in Jesus Christ and to Remain adherent to Jesus Christ. Moreover, I look up to you for the grace to Ensure that I take in the Word of God (the energy for life) daily. So, help me Lord, in Jesus' name I have prayed. Amen.
