Compare and contrast between COVID-19 and Holy Spirit

Rev Zotuo Kiewhuo

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic that burst out throughout  the world suddenly and its effects are sicknesses, death, confusion, fears, depression, restlessness, anger, suicide, economic crisis, hatred, disunity, accusations, insomnia, demon possessions etc. Whereas according to the Bible when the Holy Spirit Revival takes place, its effect upon the people explodes and burst out alarmingly which brings about witnessing of the Gospel (Acts 1:8), Conviction of sins (Acts 2:38), Deliverance, Salvation, Love, Joy, Peace and Boldness (2Timothy 2:7 and Acts 4:13), Unity (Acts 4:32), Prosperity and Power( 1Corinthians 2:4,5), Healing (Acts 3:6-8), Church growth (Acts 2:14).


Let us therefore fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2), unite our hearts and pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit Revival. As God has promised to pour out the Holy Spirit in the last days (Joel 2:28, 29). The Holy Spirit Revival is one of the greatest gift for every generation which is also the need of the hour. In these last days, the situations of the world will be darkened and worsened (Isaiah 60:12). It is only through Holy Spirit Revival and Word of God that we can encounter the forces of the darkness, if not, we will be victims of the difficult situations. Every problem will be solved through Revival whether it could be personal or family problem, Coronavirus or any world problem.


The key to this Holy Spirit Revival is Fasting and Prayer.
