Don\u2019t Allow this Pandemic Go to Waste<\/b><\/div>\n
Rev. K.L. Leung<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. If you do not believe that God permitted this pandemic to happen, then you have allowed this pandemic to go to waste. Whatever happened, God allowed it to happen. Matthew 10:29, \u201cAren\u2019t two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father\u2019s consent.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. If you set your sights only on the outward work of preventing this pandemic and have not allowed the Holy Spirit to do the work of preventing a sin pandemic, then you have allowed this pandemic to go to waste. Do you condone sinful behavior: pride, greed, hatefulness, being contentious, treacherous\u2026just like before?\u00a0\u00a0Don\u2019t just overcome the pandemic, let it remind you that you also need to overcome your sinful nature. Psalms 51:10, \u201cGod, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast\u00a0<\/sup>spirit within me.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. If you refuse to consider death as a present reality, then you have allowed this pandemic to go to waste. Luke 9:25, \u201cWhat is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?\u201d Psalms 90:12, \u201cTeach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. If you only hope that this pandemic might soon quickly pass so that you might return to your normal lives and not consider the heart of God in the matter and cherish Christ even more, then you have allowed this pandemic to go to waste. Colossians 3:1 \u201cSo if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0At this moment, the Lord wants you to be spiritually awakened, to be sensitive to the things eternal, the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ and stop doing the mundane.<\/li>\n
  5. If you spend most of your time reading up the latest on this pandemic and not spend enough time reading the Word of God, then you have allowed this pandemic to go to waste.\u00a0\u00a0It is not wrong to be knowledgeable about the pandemic but don\u2019t do it at the expense of knowing your God. Don\u2019t be a loser! Psalms 1:2-3, \u201cInstead, his delight is in the Lord\u2019s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season\u00a0<\/sup>and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. If you do not use this pandemic as an opportunity to allow it to testify to the reality of Christ and to the glory of God, then you have allowed this pandemic to go to waste. Christians do not just simply appear in any place by chance, they are there for a reason \u2013 for God\u2019s purpose. II Timothy 4:2, \u201cProclaim the message; persist in it whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0When we see Christians in Wuhan, China passing out Christian tracts and face masks unhindered, we know that this pandemic provides us with a good opportunity to witness to the glory of God.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
