FOCUS: LORD, STOP THE SPREAD OF THE DESTROYING STORM OF CORONAVIRUS

TEXT: Isaiah 28:2, Jer. 51:2

According to the Centre for Disease Control, Coronavirus diseases 2019 abbreviated COVID-19, began in Wuhan, China, as a result of an animal-to-person spread from a market. It has spread rapidly to many nations destroying lives and upsetting families. This disease has continued to spread, and people are becoming infected by coming into direct contact with an infected person who is coughing or sneezing. If you inhale the droplets or touch your mouth, nose, or eyes, you may contact the disease. Symptoms occur within two to fourteen days after exposure, and the symptoms include fever, cough, general cold and shortness of breath, or having difficulties in breathing.

Medically, this disease is called coronavirus, but spiritually is nothing but a destroying storm and destroying wind. And it will take the power of God and scientific breakthrough to stop this strange killing disease called COVID-19.

Let us pray

FOCUS: DIVINE COVERAGE FOR ALL GOFAMINT MEMBERS WORLD-WIDE

TEXT: PSALM 138:7

Our God offers divine coverage for His people in times of trouble, problems, distress, calamities, disasters, and dangers. He did it in the Bible days, in the days of the patriarchs, in the days of the disciples, and that of the church fathers. What He gave to the Israelites in the night of the Passover episode in Egypt was somewhat very remarkable. And the crossing of the red sea on dry land is an unforgettable experience. This is the uniqueness of our great God; he is, in fact, ever relevant any day. What He did then, He can still do today. He surely will give us divine coverage in this our time, and in this situation of COVID 19 pandemic.

 Let us pray

1. Great God, thank you for answers to our prayers from Sunday till today.
2. Heavenly Father, grant us coverage from above over the scourge of coronavirus as you did for Daniel in the Den of Lions.
3. Great and mighty God, grant us divine coverage as you did for the three young Hebrews; the scourge of fire had no power over them, they came out of the fire unhurt, and everybody knew that you are Great God that delivers his children.
4. Great and awesome God, grant all minister and members of GOFAMINT all over the world supernatural coverage from the scourge of COVID 19 as you delivered David from the bear, the lion, and the threat of Goliath.
5. Just as you delivered Mordecai from the wicked plan of Hamman, deliver every GOFAMINT minister and member world-wide that we may praise you continually.
6. Lord, thou that delivered Moses as a baby from the decree of Pharaoh and made him a leader of your children out of Egyptian slavery, deliver every member of GOFAMINT world-wide from the scourge of COVID 19 pandemic and cause us to fulfill the purpose for our existence as individuals and as a Church.
7. Lord, give every ministers and member of GOFAMINT divine rest in a period like this.
