Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt
the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only
those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
The global pandemic ravaging the world right now is far
beyond the imaginations of men.
As at today, there are over 1 million confirmed cases of the
COVID-19 worldwide with over 55,000 deaths and about 21% recovery.
The amazing thing is that the supposed world powers are the
most hit with USA, Spain, Italy and Germany topping the list of the countries
badly affected.
Like I briefly mentioned in my previous write-ups, Covid-19
is not the first global pandemic that will hit our world, and it might surprise
you to know it wouldn’t be the last.
In 165AD, the world witnessed a ravaging death from an
epidemic known as ANTONINE
PLAGUE. It swept over Asia, Egypt, Greece and Italy claiming well over 5
million lives.
There was also the PLAGUE OF JUSTINIAN which occurred between 541 to 542AD. Within this one
year, over 25 million people died with each day recording over 10,000 deaths.
There
was also the BLACK DEATH commonly referred to as the GREAT BUBONIC PLAGUE, which
was recorded as the most devastating pandemic in Eurasia.
According
to record, this epidemic which happened to be the first outbreak of epidemic
from Europe broke out in the years 1346-53AD.
Within the space of its seven years, this epidemic killed
about 50 million people across Europe, a figure amounting to about 60% of the
entire European population.
This pandemic is said to record about 200 million deaths
within Eurasia.
There was also the SPANISH FLU, which ravaged the world between 1918 and 1920. The world
population at that time was estimated to be about 1.5 billion people and of
this population, over 500 million people were killed. Which means the world
lost one-third of its population to this global pandemic.
There also was an epidemic which broke forth from China's
Yunnan province in 1855. This commonly tagged Third Pandemic killed
over 12 million people in Indian and China alone within the space of a year.
However, one thing is clear from all these tragedies which befell
our world in the course of history; there are some classes of people that must
be exempted no matter the ravaging deaths.
These are the sets of people with the seal of God.
Another scripture described them as oil and wine.
Re 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny;
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
It might interest you to know that the oil signifies the anointing, which is defined as an appointment to a divine service, while the wine stands for the Holy Spirit.
It doesn’t matter the epidemics ravaging the world, the oil
and the wine cannot be touched.
There is a mark of exemption on all who falls into this category.
The good news is that you can also be included in this privileged
few from today.
You need to know therefore that enlistment into these privileged
few is not by church attendance or by church unit service.
It is first of all based on true repentance and the
discovery of God’s purpose for your life.
Friend, as long as you live a life void of divine purpose,
you can't be dwelling in the secret place of the most high.
And until the secret place of the most high becomes your
place of abode, you can't be exempted from every plague and consequent deaths.
You can also write me privately so I can be of help.
It is my prayer that at the end of COVID-19, you and all
members of your family will be well and alive to share your testimony.
God bless you.
