Covid-19 is a season that has to come for His purpose as the Lord wants to come back to His glorious Church, a Bride that is pure and unblemished with a heart on fire for Him.
The pandemic has not only shaken the entire world system, but also the spiritual climate in unprecedented ways, setting the stage for the greatest revival in the harvesting of souls and setting the world on fire for Jesus. Nations are locked down. Fear and anxieties prevail, and the churches are not spared. Many church services and ministries are disrupted and services going online.
Spiritually, it is a wake-up call and a time of urgent reflection on what God is doing. Is the church worship of God programmed so much like the world system that we ought to be delivered from “Egypt”?
God’s ministries have to be realigned with what God is doing today. It will be no longer business as usual for the Church. House Churches will be the new norm just as the early Churches, preparing the way for the Lord to pour out His Spirit on ALL FLESH (Joel 2:28. Romans 9:25-26), filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (Habakkuk 2:14).
The purpose is for the world to witness the raw fire power of the Kingdom’s gospel when Word and the Spirit are combined when spoken under the anointing of the Holy Spirit ... 1 Corinthians 4:20, “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power” and as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”
It is to restore the power of God which is lacking in the Churches. Then people and the whole world could witness the demonstration of God’s power flowing through His minister to display His manifest presence.
The TEST of true Christianity as opposed to the false is the demonstration of power. Not a doctrinal test, but a power test!
It is like Elijah challenging the 450 prophets of Baal to a showdown. "Let's offer a sacrifice, and the God who sends fire on the sacrifice, we'll acknowledge He is God, OK?" When God sent fire to consume the sacrifice, the altar and even the water in the ditch around it, the people fell on their faces and cried out, "The Lord! He is God! The Lord! He is God!" It drew the hearts of whole nation of Israel back to God.
Such demonstration of His power will draw the people to be on fire for God in fulfilling the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:37, which is, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
