TODAYS NUGGET: BEYOND EBOLA... #EbolaVirus has been a popular issue worldwide over the last couple of weeks. A Lagos based Pastor has also been quoted to have the cure, drawing inspiration for his claims from the legacy of John G. Lake, a Canadian-American minister who led missionaries in South Africa in the early 20th century. Lake reputedly dealt with an outbreak a plague simply by laying hands on the victims. (According to Roberts Liardons Gods Generals, it wasnt mentioned that it was Ebola Virus, but whatever it was, Gods power is still THE SAME!) But I thought to quickly chip in these thoughts... Let’s avoid the two possible extremes. ~One extreme says, “Ebola is raging, no one is safe.” That’s called PANIC. ~The other extreme says, “Oh, whats the big deal? Thats how they will just be making noise about nothing. Mtschew.” That’s called IGNORANCE. (If you ask me [a Microbiologist called by The Word to use words], Ebola is indeed some dangerous virus!) And its not only ebola. This world stinks! ~There’s cancer and there’s death in this world. ~There’s sadness in this world. ~There are orphans in this world. ~There’s hunger in this world. ~And sometimes you’re going to pray for things, and the prayer isn’t going to be answered the way you want. Lets face it; Paradise is not promised until Jesus returns. Peace, joy, and the absence of deadly viruses are promises of the future, not the present. Sin is still epidemic. But the cure is coming. Just ensure you are neither on the side of PANIC nor on the side of IGNORANCE. But somewhere between both groups are the sober, honest disciples of Christ who don’t freak out at the presence of problems (be it ebola or unemployment). We don’t lose faith when problems come. We know that all these problems are a natural unfolding of events. We are BELIEVERS...and in the end, all of us, believers will tumble skyward into the embrace of heaven, where nothing bad will ever happen again. If you havent enrolled, pls, join us to make the trip. Give your life to Christ! There is your ticket! See you on board.
