In Genesis 2, the Bible teaches that in the beginning after God made the Heavens and the Earth, He made man from the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. God put man in charge of everything He made and gave man one simple law; this law was the foundation of our relationship with God. “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, ‘You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.’” Gen. 2:15-17. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden which lead to the birth of sin to the world.

Before this law was violated by Adam and Eve, the relationship between God and humanity was very simple; it was characterized by mutual attraction. Man was designed sinless, to be attracted to God, and vice versa. After the fall of man through disobedience, man became repellant to God leading to a rebellious relationship with the creator. This act of disobedience transformed us from being God’s friends to becoming God’s enemies. From God’s creative library and His divine plan for humanity, this new-found toxic relationship was passed down to future generations of the human race through natural birth. It explains why we are all born to this world with sin embedded in our spiritual DNA.

In the garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve realized that they have disobeyed God by breaking the only law given to them by their creator, the Bible teaches that Adam who was in charge of the garden, went into hiding (the guilty are afraid) when he heard the sound of God walking in the garden. When God came to the garden, He was expecting to see Adam right away because the original spirit He injected into Adam from His creative library, was designed to pull Adam towards God’s presence; a symbol and force of attraction. When God walked into the garden, the sinless spirit He injected into Adam, was supposed to trigger an impulse in Adam to immediately show up before God, every time God comes to the garden. When that impulse failed to trigger, God immediately called out to Adam. “Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’ 10 He answered, ‘I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.’ 11 And he said, ‘Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?’” Gen. 3:8-11.

Notice that God asked Adam two questions. From God’s creative library and His divine plan for humanity, the second questions is actually the answer to the first question. God was revealing to us that the only time Adam will realize that he is naked is when he successfully disobeys God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When we take a closer look at the first question “Who told you that you were naked?”, we can see that this question, marks the cornerstone of our relationship with God from the principles of His creative library. The first principle from God’s creative library is that God made man to take instructions only from Him because He is our creator; it is that simple. God understands this principle very well because usually in life, whenever we take instructions from a particular source, we find ourselves being pulled and attracted to that source and our being is shifted towards that source.  When Adam and Eve obeyed the instructions and directives of a different source other than God, they were instantly pulled away from God. They were pulled towards the source of the instructions they followed. That source was the serpent who deceived Eve and subsequently also deceived Adam. “You will not certainly die, the serpent said to the woman. 5 ‘For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’” Genesis 3:4-5.

In God’s creative library, there are two indisputable worlds that He made – the Heavens and the Earth. Also, in God’s creative library, He works with supernatural divine numbers. His divine number for creation is divine number 2 which is why He made all things in pairs. For example, Heaven and Earth, night and day, good and evil, male and female, life and death etc. From God’s creative library, the law of divine number 2 states that members of each pair must be the exact opposite of each other. Heaven is therefore the exact opposite of the Earth. It explains why life on earth is natural while life in Heaven is supernatural.  We know that God lives in Heaven, He made the Heavens and the Earth, and He controls everything. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” Gen. 1:1-2. Every nation on earth has a constitution that serves as a manual for its citizens. Heaven controls the earth and for that reason, God has given us the Bible as the constitution from Heaven. This constitution or law of Heaven is superior to any constitution made by man.; every law made by man is subordinate to God’s law.

For quite some time now, precisely since April 2019, we have seen governments across the nations of the world rip human liberty apart with COVID-19 mandates (laws). These man-made laws have literarily shut down churches and forced Christians to wear face masks in the house of God. We have also witnessed the reaction of church leaders which spells nothing but complete failure and that includes the Pope who views himself as the number one church leader in the world. As far as the church is concerned, there are a couple of issues we need to address here from a Biblical standpoint:

The problem with COVID-19 laws toward the church is that they are designed to undermine God’s law from His creative library. No nation on earth is above God and no nation owns the world; God made the world and everything in the world. He owns it all. “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” Psalm 24:1-2.Church leaders have to take responsibility for shutting down the church. The only reason churches have been shut down and Christians wearing mask is because church leaders have precisely done what Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden. Church leaders have made the choice to take instructions from a different source (the world) other than God. This action only leads to rebellion towards God. The government doesn’t own the church; Jesus Christ is the head of the church. “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadeswill not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will bebound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will beloosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:18.Some Christians have been taking instructions on how to deal with COVID-19 from their church leaders including Pope Francis. One fact remains indisputable; Jesus Christ is the head of the Church of Christ. While the church is holy, its members on the other hand are all sinners and that includes Pope Francis. Only the head of the church who is Christ, is sinless. “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.” Rom. 3:22-26. As a Christian, the Bible is your only source for all instructions on how to live your life on earth.There is no place in the Bible where it commands us to trust man. When it comes to trust Jesus made it very clear to us. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God;trust also in me.” John 14:1. On that day, when you stand before Jesus Christ to give account of your life, you can’t say to him, “I was listening to my Pastor or the Pope” because in response, Jesus will say to you “I gave you the word, the constitution from heaven, and your guide to salvation”, which is the Holy Bible.If there is any lesson to learn from the horrendous mistake and total failure of church leaders so far from the COVID-19 crisis, it is the truth that the church leaders and members for the most part, have completely lost their way like a sheep without a shepherd. Taking orders and directives from the world government on how to run the church of Christ is a clear testimony to this claim of a lost sheep.Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins; that includes anything humanity has and will ever face in life. So, my question is; “What makes COVID-19 different?” By submitting to government regulations to wearing face masks and shutting down churches should we then conclude that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross for COVID-19? or that COVID-19 was not part of the price he paid with his precious blood on the cross for the sins of humanity. If church leaders really believe that he died on the cross for everything we could ever face in life then why are we pulling away from him and shutting his church down in moments of crisis? The only reason is because we have made the choice to take instructions from someone else other than Jesus Christ who is the head of the church and the author of life. It is time to wake up before it is too late. “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” Luke 9:26-27. All church leaders who take instructions from the world will pay a very heavy price before Christ if you don’t wake up now and start following the law of he (Jesus Christ) who owns the church. To stand up for Christ we must only listen to Christ. God made the world and He owns it. If we continue to take instructions from the world on how to run the church, it will only get worse for those church leaders who continue to be a part of this Satanic agenda. The solution is very simple, “Swing Open the doors of the Church and get rid of the masks” and watch God move. It is not your job to fight God’s battles; let God deal with the consequences. You are not here to enjoy life; you are here for one reason – to do God’s work. “Jesus answered, ‘The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.’” We have to stand firm with God’s law and not the laws of man. You cannot fight a spiritual battle with natural weapons which is what church leaders have been trying to do. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”. John 15:5.It is very clear that church leaders are afraid and that is because this is a normal human reaction. In life, usually when disaster strikes, our first reaction is fear and that is because fear is the enemy’s number one weapon. When fear gains control of your being, you become spiritually paralyzed. Church leaders have been paralyzed by fear; fear of jail time, fear of heavy financial fines, fear of torture etc. Well, I got news for you because Apostle Paul was in jail for Christ and so did the disciples. The truth is, from a Biblical standpoint, fear and faith cannot co-exist. When one is present, the other is absent. Fear kicks in as soon as we develop the habit of taking instructions from someone else other than God especially when it comes to spiritual directives. That is exactly what happened to Adam; he confessed that he was afraid. “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”  Genesis 3:10.Some church leaders are also concerned with the loss of their financial comfort zone. Because to them the church is one big business to cash in. Jesus has a stern warning for such spiritual leaders. “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money”. Matthew 6:24.

Conclusion:

 At a time when abortion is on the rise and everything that used to be called evil is now labelled as “good”, the church cannot afford to be silent. The Church of Christ and the world are two different environments. Jesus said we don’t belong to the world and should love nothing of the world. “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” John 15:19. As Christians, if we believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the church and the church does not belong to the world, then why are we taking instructions from the world on how to run the church? As a church leader, do you really believe this statement from Jesus Christ? “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16.

From God’s creative library, everything on earth is the exact opposite of everything in Heaven. Any man-made law that interferes with the Church of Christ and deviates from Biblical principles is nothing but a law from the pit of hell. It is nothing but antichrist designed to undermine the authority of Jesus Christ over his church. “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” Matthew 24:12-14. Wake up Christians and church leaders for the End of the Age is at hand and the clock is ticking. The choice is yours.

Jesus Loves You!
