Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our lord Jesus unto eternal life. [Jude 21]
The Love Of God
In the above scripture, the writer saw a need to tell us to stay in God’s love and not be disordered by happenings around us. Put differently, we are to remind ourselves that God is love, and in His love, He rebirthed us.
The truth in this scripture is so overwhelming. It’s easy for satan to play tricks on our minds to make us believe that God brought coronavirus disease upon us to punish us for our sins. Remember the devil was able to trick Eve in the garden of Eden into believing what God did not say with – “Hath God said…”? He tried the same trick on Jesus but Christ withstood him with – “It is written…” So, you also can hold sway over satan.
How?
1. Know The Word
Your power over satan is a measure of your knowledge of God’s word. Beware! Lest you perish just because you lack knowledge [Hosea 4:6]
One Truth you should know is that God took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses [Matt 8:17]. He cannot inflict diseases on us after coming down as flesh to take it away. If only we could grasp the kind of unconditional love God has for us, we’d know that this infirmity is only an affliction from satan. Stay in God’s love for that’s where your wholeness dwells.
The song says – God is Good and you are loved. Our anchor scripture says that we should never forget this (Jude 21). Additionally, everything good comes from The Father of lights in whom there’s no shadow of turning. He’s the light that shines in every work of darkness from satan which is death, sickness, strife, marital struggles, poverty, stagnation, failure, depression and all manner of affliction. There’s no darkness in God. So, key out the works of darkness in your life and rebuke satan with God’s word and move forward.
2. Guard Your Mind!
Satan has a three-fold ministry which is to steal, kill and destroy [John 10:10]. Note that the devil has a voice with which he can engage you in a dialogue. The Bible calls it the voice of a stranger [John 10:5]. Don’t let him steal the truth of God’s word from your heart for he’s nothing but a dead dog. [Rev 12:10]. Satan is a defeated dog. Keep this in your mind forever and stay high above his tricks.
3. Engage In The Holy Communion
Jesus said, “for my flesh is meat and my blood is drink indeed” [John 6:51-57]. This implies that the communion is food for your body and spirit. The communion infuses God’s kind of life into your bloodstream, bones, and spirit-man. Consequently, whatever is contrary to life in you is destroyed urgently as you partake of the communion with this understanding. The life of God in you and sickness (coronavirus) should not cohabit.
All things considered, hold sway over your adversary, satan, and win everyday. Together, we have overcome the coronavirus disease.

Lyrics of Good And Loved by Travis Greene ft Steffany Gretzinger
[Verse 1]
Through your story
Is My fingerprint
In the valley, there is confidence
In the shadow,
I will be your strength
One thing’s for sure,
I am your Lord
[Verse 2]
Through the chaos
I will be your Joy
When you’re finished
I have so much more
In the waiting, I’m an Open Door
Stand still and know,
I am your Lord
[Pre-Chorus]
There’ll be times when you’re up
Times when you’re down
I’m never too far
Just look around
And you’ll find Me
I’m by your side,
Arms open wide
[Chorus]
I am Good and you are loved [x2]
[Bridge 1]
{What was and is, is covered
By the One who was and is
You’re covered by Love [x2]
I am Good And you are Loved [x2]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
So no matter what comes or goes
One thing that you must know
I am Good and you are Loved
[Repeat Bridge]
Covered by my Love
Covered, covered, covered
Did you forget
Just lift your head
My banner over you is Love [x4]
My banner over you is Love
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
You’re full of Love
We receive
[Outro]
I am Good
And you are Loved
