Perhaps you are worried about your future, what will happen to you when the covid19 disappears on the horizon. How will your work, your company, your family, your studies, in short, your life.
There is no point in keeping this flame burning in your heart, because Jesus Christ knows how to lead and end this process, where the Christian should invest his time in seeking the presence of the Lord.
Here in Brazil, where I write this article, it is still the month of April, but when May arrives, take more time out of intimacy with God. Renew your energies and stop complaining because you don't like murmuring.

We make mistakes when we forget to seek the Lord, aiming our eyes at earthly blessings, which will soon be over, as soon as we leave this world when death embraces us.
This windstorm blown by the covid-19 does not have the stamp of eternity, soon it will end, leaving great lessons that nothing lasts in this world.
Soon it ends, not even our life escapes the bad day.
Unfortunately, the focus of the vast majority of Christians is not on Jesus Christ, the assurance of eternal life. They are concerned with collecting the greatest volume of treasure, which will soon be reduced to waste after death.

Jesus Christ is Lord and has mastery of this situation, which in human and corrupted eyes, would be out of control. All illusion! At no time since the creation of the universe has God lost control of anything.
This quarantine moment must be well used in the search, ever more, for the wonderful anointing of the Holy Spirit, which destroys every yoke of darkness, increasing our communion with God.
It is not the time to exchange Jesus for the tempting offerings of Satan, but to look more and more towards the Lord of our souls, who knows how to take care of our life, with great affection.

Jesus Christ has been bothering his people for a long time, looking in his direction for discernment and a better way to go while he is living in this world, where the devil lies.
Few look their eyes in this safe and sure direction on the path that will lead us towards eternity, where death, hunger, sadness, melancholy and all the ruin existing here have no place.
The best in the opinion of many is to spend time with the lentils offered by the darkness in beautiful packages externally and interior contents full of dirt, which will take the Christian away from the route of eternity.

Today the same thing happens when they complain about quarantine inside their homes. They imagine that they are losing the best of life, without any good sense of how much God delivers them in this dark moment.
They should take advantage of this time and seek the Lord more, increase their intimacy with the Master, listen to his voice, understand his purposes. Nothing like that! They insist on criticizing Jesus.
Little is said about the love of the Lord on social networks, only rude words to the government, as if they were the safe route to reach the safe haven, which only Jesus Christ is capable of.

They don't look to Heaven trying to understand the Lord's move, they just open their mouths and complain, some even curse Jesus Christ. How much disrespect for God The Creator lacks common sense.
Hooked by the devil, they only think about consuming, even what will soon be thrown in the trash. Seeking Jesus no one has time. They look fascinated by the seductive offerings of darkness.
Remember the Hebrews in the desert after leaving Egypt, when they soon criticized Moses, accusing him of insensitivity. They quickly forgot to get rid of crossing the Red Sea.

These days are bad, no one doubts that. Death mows lives at all times in many places, whether rich or poor. The fury is the same, with no right to a loved one's wake.
Shortness of breath torturing the lung, whose victim cannot find a place in hospitals. In these moments I realize how far people are from the Lord. Most open their mouths just to regret.
They blame Jesus Christ for the crisis the world is going through, sparing no one, yet they refuse to pray. The motto is to complain about God, accusing him of causing deaths due to lack of love for men.

Over the centuries, the Christian church has made several mistakes. He distorted the Gospel for excuse. He ignored the conduct recommended by Jesus. Idolatry entered many temples. Sinful men took God's place.
Some thought the Lord would continue to accept everything. Tolerating garbage staining your bride's dress. They interpreted that Graça was the green card for all kinds of abuse. Some even started calling the Lord a grimace and outdated.
The Coronavirus served to show that man still depends on God. He has all the control of the world in his hands. May this Easter people understand that Jesus deserves respect. Reflect and return to true Christianity, as in the days of the Early Church.

This Easter Sunday will be different. Even in World War II, in some countries there was still peace. The conflict was concentrated in other parts of the Earth. Rich people were spared. Coronavirus did not do this. It caught rich and poor. All.
Same in fights. Where guarding is not allowed, most Christians have made this mistake. He began to pray little. He was deluded by the brightness of the world, which today is under the devil's rule. He gave in to the charms of Satan.
How many times have Christians traded the Word of Jesus for worldly offerings. The blaze of darkness, beautiful outside and rotten inside, has seduced hundreds of thousands around the world. Equal advice from father and mother refused by wayward son.

Believing deeply in Jesus Christ is not easy. Take the case of Coronavirus. It has already killed 1.6 million people around the world. In this issue are evangelicals, with or without faith.
The situation is bad, in Brazil there are 30 thousand tests without results. If half is positive, we will have 15,000 dead. Enough figure to haunt any government.
Today Coronavirus circulates in several places, whether in rich or miserable environments. The moment requires much prayer. Christians all over the world need to meditate this Easter, without the fever of consumerism.
