It is really a great challenge indeed that we are about to
face in the state where shops, offices and business doors can no longer open in
respect of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Even before the lock down we were greatly
challenged in one way or the other, how then will it be during the lock down.
But are we gonna say we won’t survive? No, no way, we are
definitely going to survive though it won’t be easy nor funny. I also want you
to remember that the lock down is for our own very good, (i.e. to reduce the
rate of movement into the state and within).
It is definitely going to be horrible, am even feeling like
these are going to be the days of Joseph and Pharaoh but it is not.
Now when you look at other states around like Ibadan, Lagos
and others have been on lock down for a while now (It is not something to laugh
at, is just an illustration) that means we are not the first people to be engulfed
in such situation, remember that surely after sunshine there will be rain so
accept everything in good faith knowing it will be over.
Some fellow Christians have been murmuring that why must the
lock down occur during the Easter period forgetting that it is during the same Easter
period that the case is becoming worse. We should not just bear the name Christians
but we should try and think like one (I mean no disrespect dear sir/ma).
Instead of being revolutionist why not join our hands together and support
the Government, not really with money but with prayers and total adherence to the
golden rule which is STAY AT HOME.
I know how it feels to be deprived of joy giving activities
but we all have to be strong, remember “it is best locally avoided than
specially treated”.
If we stay at home,
pray at home we are going to be
healthy even outside our homes.
To all my plateau brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers,
uncles, aunts, friends and enemies I want to remind you that Christ is above
all situations. And may the good lord continue to bless and sustain us all
throughout this lock down period. Amen.
With love from Longsaar Francis
