IF MAN WILL FEAR GOD LIKE EBOLA
Following the outbreak of Ebola Virus in
Nigeria In 2014 through Patrick Sawyer of Liberia, people were gripped by fear and anxiety. The apprehension caused by Ebola phobia was further heightened when medical experts confirmed that this terminal disease “can be contacted through the blood, secretions or other bodily fluids of infected person or animals like chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, forest antelopes and porcupines found ill or dead₺.
Consequent upon this, several precautionary measures were taken by different nations of the world including Nigeria, to combat the spread of Ebola Virus. Some of these include:
- Disbursement of huge amounts of money for the prevention of Ebola.
- Routine cleaning and disinfection of humans, pigs or monkey farms with sodium hypochlorite or other detergents.
- Quarantining of persons and premises suspected of Ebola infection.
- Restricting or banning the movement of animals from infected farms to other areas.
- The establishment of active health surveillance system and precautionary measures by medical attendants to Ebola patients.
If these official actions were taken out of fear to forestall the spread of Ebola, more frantic efforts should be made to fear God and keep his commandments. The fear of God is ₺reverence for God expressed in humble submission and worship₺. It is “consciousness of God’s presence which culminates in total abstinence from sin”. (Neh. 5:15; Gen. 39: 8-12).
As a matter of fact, if men will fear God like Ebola and other infectious diseases:
- Sin will be an exception rather than the rule.
- The wrath of God will be averted.
- Hell will be depopulated, and
- More concerted efforts will be made to save than to destroy life.
Dear reader, do you fear God as much as you feared Ebola? Do you keep His commandments the way you keep man’s safety and security rules? If your answers to these questions are in the negative, I advice you to repent of your sins because “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God”. (Heb. 10: 31).
If you die in your sin, your condition will be more terrible than one who died of Ebola Virus. This is true because: Ebola brings physical death, while sin brings physical, spiritual and eternal death (Gen. 2:17; 5:3,5; Rm. 6:23). Ebola patients are isolated when symptoms are certified, but sinners will be separated forever from God and the redeemed to suffer eternally in hell fire (Matt. 25: 41; Rev. 21:8; 20:11-15).
Now that you have known the grave consequences of irreverence for God, I encourage you to do the following before it is too late:
Confess your sins to God (1 Jn. 1:8, 9).
Abstain from your sinful ways (Isa. 55: 6, 7).
Fear God and keep His commandments (Eccle. 12:13).
Receive Jesus Christ into your heart as your lord and personal saviour (Jn. 1:12; Acts 4:12).
Begin to worship God in a living and bible-believing church (Heb 10:25, 2Cor. 6:14-18).
