About few weeks ago, I asked some of my friends and families questions on what they have learnt during this LOCKDOWN, and many of them, with joy, responded by sharing their lessons and experiences with me.
I’m sharing them now not for any other reason but for the purpose of bringing those who are distracted, weary, and gone astray back to their senses that God has a message for each season HE has created.
1. The current global happenings are signs of endtime.
2. The lockdown order has humbled many people and has paved way for family to stay and pray together.
3. It has taught us to be able to manage all essential commodities that we have at home for sustenance.

The season humbled me.
It allowed me to reflect and readjust my priorities.
And it taught me that family is very important.
*Joyce Miller*
I learnt about the greatness of God.
It doesn’t take God a moment to destroy the whole world.
This season gave me the consciousness that the world can end anytime.
It makes me see that only God can save as we trust Him to heal our land because it looks as though the world is confused.
It is good to build a home (a family) because I wonder how those who do not have a home or family will survive in a time like this. It is good to have time for your family no matter how busy and tight your schedule might be and as we are doing that, we must as well have the eternal home in view.

In my own point of view, God is trying to reveal the future to us- one of the incidents that will happen after rapture has taken place.
If we look at it critically, we will see that everybody is being restricted from going out, even to buy what to eat and this is part of what will happen after the rapture has taken place. So my advise to all Christians is that thes time shouldn’t be a time of careless living.
It should be the time of sobering because the end of everything is at hand. 1peter 4:7.
Live a righteous and holy life.

Most things I think that matter do not actually matter. And I have discovered “that” which matters.
There is strength in quietness. And I am learning how to harness it.
Love is the ultimate. And I am learning what it really means to love.
*Oyenka*
Putting God first: The need to diligently seek the Lord on our own and have a personal relationship with Him. It is a time when we have to come to the reality of our relationship with our maker. Now there is not a person to create a spark in us especially when it comes to going for prayer meetings. It’s a time to check if we are in right standing with Christ.
Love for all. Putting oneself in another’s shoes.
Material things and travelling abroad suddenly become unimportant. Now we have come to the full realization that our help comes from above not abroad. Knowing that all things i.e. the world system can all stop. Only one’s salvation remains.
*Omolade Ilesanmi*
The devil is testing ground on how he will operate after the rapture.
This is the time to check ourselves inward and outward and be in tune with our creator. This is because we are in the end time and d coming of Jesus is so near than we can imagine.
Families now come together to pray. In all that I see here is that everything that we run after- clothes, money, owambe , etc. are vanity. The only thing that stands is God and His words. many books, clothes, money, children cannot provide ca ure or the virus. We are looking onto God.
*Mrs. Joan Omoruyi*
I learnt that God is powerful.
*Osasere Dandy*
I learnt that God has the whole universe in His hands and can decide to do whatever He likes with it.
We are all the same in the sight of God, whether rich or poor. The present situation makes it obvious.
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. Only God knows.
*Segun Ibasanmi*
I learnt to trust God absolutely.
*Tony*
I learnt that God can destroy the world and there is opportunity in every calamity depending on how we see it.
