Ebola crept in
like a thief in the night and kept many awake to the reality of the importance
of life.
Ebola is introduced into the human population
through close contact with the blood, organs, secretions or other bodily fluids
of infected animals such as chimpanzees, fruit bats, monkeys, gorillas, forest
antelope and porcupines found ill or dead in the rain forest.
I am not going
to reinvent the wheel here as many things have been said on what EBOLA stands
for and huge impact of the infection on any human.
However, there
are few things that perhaps many did not know which I believe the knowledge in
the write up will certainly go a long way. - Let me start on this
note, Who is at risk, and how can we
prevent its spread?
·
Anyone who cares
for an infected person or handles their blood or fluid samples is at risk of
becoming infected. Hospital workers, laboratory workers, innocent victims,
friends, associates and family members are at greatest risk.
And another school of thought
said “Strict infection control procedures and wearing protective clothing
minimizes this risk” Is that enough to combat the deadly EBOLA?
Somehow it is believed that
the likelihood of catching Ebola virus disease is considered very low
unless you've traveled to a known infected area and had direct contact with a
person with Ebola-like symptoms, or had contact with an infected animal or
contaminated objects.
There is a
popular saying "The only thing we
have to fear is fear
The fear of Ebola by many has
imprisoned many people that are not even infected by Ebola. Messages of fear
are being preached and propagated using different means. I will not be
surprised if some certain fellow due to fear of Ebola are already plague with symptoms
of Ebola disease.
Fear has torments, it
paralyses the victims. Several information has been passed on in a spirit of
panic and fear, rather than in a clear and concise manner that addresses
people’s questions which in turn had fueled anxiety from both young and
old. When we react out of fear, our actions are often irrational and even
costly.
As believers fear is our
greatest enemy in walking in the Faith and must be confronted.
I am not saying the deadly
disease is not real or does not exist. All I am saying every believer should
understand they carry within them a spiritual DNA which is immune to any
satanic attacks from the pit of hell.
Think NO evil and see NO evil,
do not give in to the fear of being attack by EBOLA.
And he said unto
them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:40
Fear gives room to the devil
to manifest, as long as you will not think yourself having or being affected
with EBOLA you cannot be afflicted with it.
As a man thinketh in his heart
so is he – Think good health and that will be your experience in Jesus name.
Prayer: We pray for those affected or threatened by the
deadly virus that they may be granted divine healing and hope of new
beginning.
