Coronavirus: Peace for Despair

My heart bleeds for the world as it battles with #Coronavirus. Global supply chains have been badly affected. The tourism industry is crumbling as many flights, hotel reservations and conferences have been cancelled and/or rescheduled amid widespread fear and extreme panic. 


The well-being of many is slowly declining globally. Global financial market indices and stock markets have been dwindling.  Even my five-year old has a lot to say about #COVID-19 and how to take precautionary measures.


While the World Health Organisation (WHO) still insists #COVID-2019 is not a pandemic (as at the time of writing this post), I admonish you to consider this outbreak as one of the many signs of the 'last days'. It seems so vivid but the enemy packages it in a way that many would disregard it as such. 


Just in case you are not convinced, consider the unrest globally, needless to talk about the persecution of Christians not only in Nigeria, being a particularly disheartening case, but all over the world. BBC news and other global world news also reckon.

It is no more news that we need to take precautionary measures as widely recommended. Over and above that, it is crucial to be intentional about remaining hopeful for a decline in the spread of the virus as we introspectively soldier on.


There is no better time to recalibrate on one's purpose, identity and focus.
