the World Health Organization has named moox a public health emergency of international concern imagine a world where a Simple Touch could change your life forever that world is no longer Fiction it's our reality empx a virus formerly known as monkey pox has exploded onto the global stage leaving fear and uncertainty in its wake this development has sent shock waves raising more fears of another pandemic that could rival or even surpass the devastation caused by covid-19 in fact the World Health Organization just recently declared it as a new pandemic today the emergency committee met and advised
me that in its view the situation constitutes a public held emergency of international concern as Believers we must ask ourselves is this merely a random virus or is there a deeper spiritual significance behind it you see the Bible tells us in Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge this isn't just talking about scientific knowledge or medical expertise it's referring to spiritual understanding and it's this understanding that we desperately need right now this virus formerly known as monkey pox has been around for decades for years it remained a relatively obscure disease primarily affecting
West African countries in 2022 something changed the virus began to spread in ways it had never before now diseases or pandemics don't just pop up randomly they often pop up when the world has turned its back on God and whenever the World Turns its back on God and begins to embrace sinfulness diseases always pop up that baffle science and are difficult to treat in fact the reason they are difficult to treat is because they often stem from the spiritual realm they are simply manifesting in the physical even though we might see them as natural diseases
this is not the case when God created the world world he did not create it along with sicknesses sicknesses and diseases only came into existence as a result of the Fallen nature of man Whenever there is a disease and the people repent God always provides a solution for it but when people are resistant to repentance these diseases always become very evasive resistant to drugs and spread like wildfire these diseases are so difficult to treat because they originate in the spiritual realm and the way you get to know that they are not normal is that they
are easily transmissible spread too quickly take more lives and often defy Medical Science these aren't just viruses and bacteria we're fighting they're manifestations of spiritual warfare that's why purely medical approaches often fall short think about most diseases that are difficult and resistant to treatment like HIV herpes HPV Hepatitis B gonorrhea syphilis and much more what do these have in common in the majority of cases they often came as a result of moral decline a time when the world glorified sexual sin these diseases spread more through sexual sin and in most cases were linked to sexual
behaviors that directly contradicted God's design for intimacy in fact at the the initial spread of the monkey pox virus in 2022 this virus was primarily among men who slept with men the fact that the disease manifested in that manner was a clear sign that it was highlighting something to the world now I'm not saying the virus in question is as a result of sexual sin not at all what I'm saying is that whenever we as humans step outside of God's will we should not be surprised to see diseases emerging this has been a long-known pattern
right from Biblical times in Romans 1: 26- 27 we read for this cause God gave them up unto vile affections for even their women did change the natural youth into that which is against nature and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meat now this does not mean that everyone who is sick or contacts any form of sickness is because they have sinned not at all but
it does mean we should look beyond the physical and pray it reveals a spiritual principle when when we step outside God's boundaries we become vulnerable to the enemy's attacks and Satan the thief who comes to steal kill and destroy often uses disease as his weapon of choice in the book of Deuteronomy 28: 58-61 we read if thou Wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name the Lord thy God then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful and the
plagues of thy seed even great plagues and of long continuance and sore sicknesses and of long continuance moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou was afraid of and they shall cleave unto thee also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law them will the Lord bring upon thee until thou be destroyed notice that it says that the diseases of the Egyptians shall come upon those who are disobedient to God Satan takes advantage of this because by targeting lives through these illnesses he will
be able to reduce the human population which in essence makes it easier for him to control the only way of escaping such is through repentance in which God heals the land in 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14 we find a powerful promise and warning If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land it's also crucial that we don't stigmatize or judge those affected by the new virus
while we can recognize the spiritual implications of the outbreak we must respond with compassion and love just as Jesus did when confronted with those suffering from leprosy and other diseases of his time now some might say but what about the innocent people suffering from this outbreak how is that Fair it's a valid question and the answer lies in the nature of our fallen World When sin entered the world through Adam and Eve it didn't just affect Humanity it affected all of creation Romans 8:22 tells us that the whole creation has been groaning as in the
Pains of childbirth right up to the present time this means that sickness disease and death are not part of God's original plan they're a result of the fall but here's the good news they're not the end of the story Jesus came to reverse the curse of sin his death on the cross wasn't just about spiritual salvation it was about Total Restoration Isaiah 53:5 says but he was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities the punishment that brought us peace was on him and by his wounds we are healed this healing isn't always
immediate sometimes it comes in this life sometimes it comes in eternity but it is guaranteed for for those who put their trust in Christ in James 5: 14-15 we're given instruction on how to respond to sickness within the church is any sick among you let him call for the Elders of the church and let them pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up and if he have committed sins they shall be forgiven him but here's
the good news for those rooted in Christ there is no need to fear the same Jesus who declared the enemy's tactics also promised Abundant Life to his followers in Isaiah 53:5 we read a powerful prophecy about Jesus but he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed this verse reminds us that through Christ's sacrifice we have access to Divine Healing and protection it doesn't mean Believers will never face sickness but it does mean that we have a higher
authority to appeal to when confronted with disease so how should Believers respond to the empo emergency first and foremost we must not give in to fear second Peter 1:7 reminds us for God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind instead of panicking we should approach this situation with a sound mind seeking wisdom from God we need to ask God to turn Hearts back to him to spark a global Awakening that will shift the spiritual atmosphere second we need to repent not just individually but
collectively we need to acknowledge where we've strayed from God's path and make a deliberate choice to return to his ways but here's the most important thing to remember if you're a believer in Christ you don't need to fear the Bible says in Psalm 91: 5-6 you will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday this doesn't mean we'll never get sick but it does mean that our ultimate Destiny is secure no virus can separate us from
the love of God so as we face this empo outbreak let's not lose sight of the bigger picture this isn't just about a virus it's about a world in need of redemption it's about a God who loves us so much that he'll use anything even a Health crisis to draw us back to him remember in John 16:33 Jesus said in this world you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world this outbreak may be serious but it's not the final word our God is bigger than any virus any epidemic any crisis thank
