There has been a lockdown of the economy all over the world since the onset of COVID-19 PANDEMIC. And now government all over the world are on the verge of unlocking their economy, plans are on top gear and nations have their plans differently on how best to get their citizens back to work and their normal social life.
Now there are hues and cries all over, people are panicking claiming that there\’s been stringent restrictions yet the Covid-19 and it\’s attendant health issues coupled with the death implications have not abated, therefore people should not get loose and perhaps walk to their misfortune.
Though nation\’s are strategizing and making out plans on how best to reopen while some in their plans and programmes are of the opinion that contact tracing should be included in the programmes so that in future it will help in reducing the rate of infection.
Well; whatever is the projection and the programmes of the government put in place, individuals must painstakingly get themselves attuned with the dangers involved in living carelessly and should not decieve themselves into loosing their guard while efforts are being made for parminent solution that will be best to tackle this deadly diseases.
During the flood saga in the book of Genesis 8:10-20. Noah and his family experienced lockdown, they were quarantined for long time until the flood subsided when God instructed him to ease the lockdown; that it was time for him to go out of the Ark. Noah did not hurry out to enjoy the freedom of a larger space He rather was cautious to have the wisdom of test running the earth by sending the first and second doves. While the first dove was able to come back to the Ark because the outside wasn\’t condusive to perch the second dove could not come back because it found a cozy area to galivate and thereby no record of how it\’s life ended.
We must be very careful not to jump to the street carelessly without observing the most essential measures to avoid being infected or infecting others ln Nigeria like some other nations, Monday, the 4th of May 2020 has been scheduled for the reopening of the lockdown as in the first phase with some programmes marshalled out for the reopening of the economy that is nice but we must be very wise not to get ourselves endangered so that history does not repeat itself.
In 1918, there was an outbreak like this called Spanish Flu which killed well over 50 million people; and people got into isolation but when the people starting agitating, the government decided to relax the order of stay at home., It was the beginning of the many more death recorded because the people immediately rushed back to their former lives.
We must be extremely careful in this trying times so that you will be alive to tell your own story and to appreciate God for His great mercies.
Thank God we are able to overcome this ugly situation and by God\’s providence we will be alive to tell the next generation about COVID-19. PRAISE THE LORD HALLELUJAH AMEN. Happy New Month . May we enjoy God\’s Favours every day of the month in Jesus name Amen 🙏 Cheers!! ✍️ Blessingonugha ❤️.
