We are currently in the midst of one of the deadliest pandemics in world history. Millions of lives been lost, businesses decimated or shut down and all over the world unemployment at an all-record high.

Has God abandoned His children? Is there a clear distinction between the Believers and Unbelievers in this pandemic?

Let me clearly states that God has not – and has never – left His children without a way to mitigate and come out victorious in such a time as this. Everything Believers in Christ need to survive and come out victorious in this pandemic has been provided and made available for our engagement by our loving, heavenly Father.

The reason why it seems as if there is no distinction between Believers and Unbelievers is relate to ignorance and unbelief.Many of God’s children are ignorant of the provision their heavenly Father have made available for them. Many do not believe in that God has provided for them.

One of the provisions God has made available for believers in such a time as we are living in right now is the ordinance of the Holy Communion. The Holy Communion is the table of appropriating the benefits of the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary.  It is the antidote to every work of darkness on the earth.

We are commanded to observe this ordinance regularly in the scriptures so that we can continually enforce the will of God over our lives and everything we do. (1 Cor 11:26-30)

The sad thing is, many believers are ignorant, they are either in the dark (blinded) or they complete disregard this wonderful provision.  This is why it seems like there is no distinction between Believers and Unbelievers.

 God’s desire is to distinguish His children in the midst of this pandemic like He did with the children of Israel in Egypt.  This is when there was a plague in the land that killed all the first born in Egypt. The children of Israel were preserved and came out of the pandemic with great wealth and freedom from their bondage.

 God was able to do this because the children of Israel adhered to God’s instruction by appreciating and appropriating the provision the Lord has made available for them in eating the flesh of the lamb and sprinkling the blood upon their door post.

God has given us the Holy Communion (which is the eating of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ and the drinking of His blood) for our safety, exemption and distinction from what is going on in our world today. My question to you – child of God – is: “What are you doing with what God has provided for you in this season? Are you honouring it or ignoring it? Do you have faith in God’s provision to save and preserve you?”
