Quick Fact on EBOLA

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 noteWho 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.
