Mosquitoes are the fiercest pests on earth! They are carriers of dangerous diseases as well as illnesses. They disseminate them to the creatures they bite, whether people or other animals. These ailments consist of malaria, yellow fever, dengue, encephalitis, as well as West Nile virus. Also they are carriers of heart worms, which can be deadly to other animals. No other creature on earth has more deaths linked with them.

Definite procedures are imperative to safeguard human population from disease and illness. But the right ones must be chosen. Haphazard, unsystematic efforts result in more damage. A US research shows that 70% of Americans use sprays as well as foggers in their pest control efforts- the most high-priced, least effective, and most destructive to the environment. Their effects are short-lived and mosquitoes can build resistance towards them.

The organic or natural solutions against mosquito infestation have been with us ever since but, the industrial and profit orientation of our society usually ignore them, attributing diminutive or no value to them. Should not primary government institutions as well as agencies become active in campaigning for natural, organic means, and not just leave this to individual efforts?

Just as mosquitoes create a threat to our bodily health through infection, our spirituality could also be infected by spiritual mosquitoes bearing deadly sins, like immorality as well as pornography. Just as we want to choose the right methods of controlling mosquito infestation, we also must choose the right spiritual remedies, avoiding counterfeits that would waste our time and energy, spiritually. Prioritizing your family and being caught up with them might be your missing link.

Taking an active responsibility in your religion is similar to taking the right pest control measures. Keep in mind, we are spiritual beings inside physical bodies. Even though our material world is the aspect instantaneously tangible, our true nature is spiritual and outside the physical. Take time to pray, think and reflect about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Just as our physical health needs vaccination from disease or illness, our spiritual character needs to be nurtured by means of the good word of God.
