MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CORONAVIRUS CHASTISEMENT – NOT SATAN!

The Coronavirus pandemic in the first three months of the year 2020 –January-March, has almost succeeded in completely destroying earth’s environmental eco-system including health/sanitation structures, through total or partial LOCK-DOWN of global socio-economic activities and a general consensus of opinion claimed that SATAN, was responsible for the deadly scourge!

That line of thought was further buttressed by the renowned London-based servant of the Most High God, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, on a recent live Channel TV interview and a fierce debate had been generated among bible scholars who completely disagreed with his theory!
With a view to dousing the raging controversy, We decided to publish the inerrant, infallible and truthful and unadulterated Word of God from the Book of Romans. 1: 18ff, comments as appropriate:
18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, (NOT SATAN), who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (NOT SATAN).
20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart (NOT SATAN’S HEART), was darkened.
22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
“The whole world is full of idolatry, from East to West, North to South; China, to Hong Kong, Korea to Italy, Spain, United States, India, the Philipines, Nigeria, Benin Republic, Russia, the United Kingdom, Somalia, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Libya, etc, etc.”
24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27. 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 meet.
“Same sex marriages, bi-sex surgery, homo sexualism, lesbianism, and all manner of lurid sexual perversions, etc, have become the order of the day globally!”
28. And even as they (men and not Satan), did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31. Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. 
DOES THE WORLD NEED FURTHER CONVICTIONS THAT COVID-19 IS GOD’S JUDGMENT UPON A SINFUL WORLD!
During Saint Paul’s Biblical Second Missionary Journey, he travelled from Asia to Greece and into the capital city of Athens (51-52 AD).where found an altar with the inscription, “TO THE UNKNOWN GOD”. Athens was wholly given to idolatry (just like other cities in Asia), and with, philosophers who disputed Paul’s messages of salvation through Jesus Christ and His Resurrection!  However, the Apostle was not deterred by their ignorance but painstakingly revealed the following divine truths: “*That God created the heavens and had given life and breath to all things; *Hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation; *That God expected them to seek Him and find Him because He was very close to them; * That in God, His creation live, move, and have their being; *And that the times of that ignorance, God winked at: but had commanded all men everywhere to repent. *Because He hath appointed a day, in which He would judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.” (Acts.17:15-34).

THE SECOND ADVENT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO JUDGE THE WORLD OF THIS END-TIME; IS CLOSER THAN THE VAIN IMAGINATION OF MEN!
Since the time of the holy prophets and apostles till these last days, scoffers have walked in idolatry and their own lusts vehemently denying the second-coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, because nothing had changed in the world since the creation according to their warped comprehension!

IS IT TRUE THAT EVERYTHING IS WELL BETWEEN GOD AND MAN? NO!
There was a World before the biblical Book of Genesis. 1:1-3; but that world was judged by God and was overflowed with water and perished by the His Word. By the same Word of God, the heavens and the earth which are now kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men will also perish because of man’s unrighteousness! To buttress this biblical truth, the Book of the beginnings in verse two states as follows: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Before Covid-19 was, God had been God, sovereign in power, might and glory; transcendent as the omnipresence, omnipotent and omniscient; in charge of all of the affairs of His host of Angels in Heaven and of the multitude of His children on Earth!
The God of Heaven would never require assistance from His creation to execute judgment on earth neither would He compromise His holiness with man’s sinful nature, inadequacies and confusion!

SATAN WAS A FALLEN ANGEL CAST OUT OF HEAVEN BECAUSE OF INORDINATE AMBITION!
World population stood at over Six billion people with China and India claiming almost three billion between each other as the two most populous countries of the world!
The novel CORONAVIRUS pandemic started from China, which promptly raised global alarm in December 2019, for all countries to create sanitation and adequate health defense around their citizens.
LIKE THE TEN VIRGINS: SOME WERE WISE AND SOME WERE UNWISE!

OF SOME 197 COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD: (A) No deaths have been recorded in over 60 countries; and (B) Between 1-10 deaths, have been recorded in over 76 countries! And of the 61 countries which recorded higher figures, the SEVEN most devastated countries (with well over 1,000 deaths each), are technologically advanced and did deploy all sanitation tools to both stem and stop the tide of spread BUT from all indications, the fervent and effective prayer of the righteous Saints is responsible for the decline noticed in China and being replicated in others, because the potency of the deadly virus which was at peak in March. 2020, has been completely eliminated and routed!

A UNIVERSAL SHAKING IS GOING ON BUT WE HAVE PRAYED TO THE LORD TO SHOW MERCY!  
His wrath and anger will give way to mercy in view of the predicament of the innocent and righteous saints who have been caught up in a calamity they never bargained for and the DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS SHALL BE HIS PLEASURE! ‘’For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.’’(Hag 2:6-7)
