Isaiah 26:21 TPT
For the Lord is coming out from his heavenly place to punish people for their sins. The earth itself will expose the blood spilled upon it, and the ground will no longer hide its slain.

If a news presenter had announced at the beginning of 2020 on national TV that within weeks, the nation, the entire world will be in lockdown, there would have been a universal outcry of outrage but right now, we are facing coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic which started a year ago. Life as we know it is forever transformed.
“Lockdown” is a word that is become a trend now with the covid-19. Lockdown is “an emergency measure or condition in which people are temporarily prevented from entering or leaving a restricted area or building such as schools, places of worship, cinemas, restaurants.
Everyone has their Covid story, lockdown experience, what’s yours?
Probably the most lockdown thing of all was the Christian life of activities that identified and motivated so many of us Christians to keep going. Unfortunately, so many Christians did indeed get lockdown- for some, it meant since there were no weekly activities to attend and participate in, their life as a Christian got lockdown too, meaning they stopped every personal religious and spiritual activities of theirs.
Go on Paul says, walk out your salvation (your own, not others) with fear and trembling—Considering the difficulty of life, and the danger of the walk. If you do not watch, pray and continually depend on God, your enemies will surprise you, and your light and life will become extinct; right now, so many light and life have gone out both physically and spiritually in the last year. Meanwhile, life goes on and lessons learned. What have you learned from the Covid? What have you used the opportunity of the lockdown to gain?
Come my people says the Lord, enter your “homes”—with a confident expectation of deliverance by the power of God from the destruction of Covid. If we expect God to deliver us, we must keep seeking Him in the secret place lockdown created. While you’re hiding in your chambers for a little while, redeem the times by spending as much of it growing your spirit man.
As God’s people, we have nothing to worry about or to fear in every situation we experience, including this virus. John 20:19-23 talks of a lockdown, but one necessitated by fear, the fear that overwhelmed the disciples after Jesus died. They locked all the doors where they were huddled together because of fear, fear of the unknown and from losing their master and friend. The Lord is always in the centre of our fear, as Vs 19 states-Jesus came and stood among them in “lockdown,” with the doors looked. The same Lord who entered lockdown with them should be the same with us in lockdown as we strive to seek Him more and know Him more.
Revelation 3:20 paints a picture of Jesus standing, knocking at the door, signifying that the doors are locked, He is still knocking but are we willing to open and allow Him in?
The world may be in lockdown but our hearts, our mouths, our bibles and our altars are not in lockdown down and locked up. We all need peace in these times of trouble, the peace found only when we abide in Christ and allow His words to abide in us.
COVID-19 has taught us that position, power, wealth, throne, and popularity are not eternal, only temporary, let us seek the Lord while in lockdown, we are not locked up!
Shalom
