Conclusion:
We are passing through hard times all over the world Nigeria is not exempted due to the pandemic.
Measures are taken to prevent it to spread fastly such as social distancing, using face mask, personal hygiene e.g periodic washing of hands with water and soap, and using sanitizer, praying etc.
As we do let us change from our evil ways and violence as the people of Nineveh did. It is then that God can have mercy on us. Let us be the doer of God's word and not be offering empty prayers that will not yield any fruitful results.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour accept Him today (John3 :16-18.)
Concluded.
