HOW TO CONQUER DEPRESSION

Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”

What is Depression?
feelings of severe despondency and dejection.
This feeling comes through external or internal words spoken to the heart of the depressed person more than what they see or experience.

When we look around these days, you see a lot of frustration in our societies. A lot of people are in the verge of breaking down mentally due to several issues. There is economic tension, marriage squabbles, health challenges, etc.
All the above mentioned issues leaves nothing to desire in life by many.

 Recently, I read a story about a man who committed suicide by jumping down from a skyscraper in Lagos. This man had lost his job through the prevailing economic tension in the country. He went into depression and thought the best way to get out of it is by killing himself. Wrong choice!

Depression is worse than insanity. I see it as a combination of insanity and frustration caused by a feeling of failure and dejection.

Since depression is caused by the frustration of not being able to fulfill a certain demand, it is important for us to understand and also know that there is nothing a man needs that can come from man. Therefore, man should never put hope in another man.

Our continuous trust in God without wavering will keep our hearts stable. Our hearts or minds are the table where everything that goes on are deliberated.

The Bible says; “ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Tim. 1:7
Fear is the gateway to all frustration in life. It sets a man up for all manner of attacks. The Bible says; faith is a shield, a protection against the attacks of the enemy.
Faith in the Word of God is a mighty force that challenges the forces of darkness. Depression is the work of the enemy and faith in God, I mean unwavering faith in God can defile it.

The word of God cannot and does not fail. If you have anyone who is depressed, continue in a daily basis, speak the Word of God into that individual. Let him or her hear it, it will build faith in the heart of the individual.

THE REVELATION OF THE ENDTIME TO ME

The night was like every other night in September, 2011. As usual, we had our night prayer at home. I went to bed at about 1:00am. Not too long into my sleep, I began to have a revelation in form of a dream. In that dream, there was an announcement made to the hearing of everyone on earth that at about 10:00am, there will be a release of the demons of hell from the bottomless pit.

The announcement came as a warning to everybody in order to escape the wrath of these demons. Every family was assigned a demon for torment, but there is an escape route for everyone who was vigilant.
At about 9:50am, the demons were released, which came as a surprise to most people, because many were unprepared. There was commotion everywhere, but it was too late for the majority of the people to escape the indignation.

I saw families being trapped by just a demon who had control over them. I called my family and told them to get ready, because the demon assigned to my family hadn’t seen them. I got home on time and asked them to follow me, because I couldn’t carry even the youngest in the house except my Bible in a bag.

I saw a friend who had become very rich at that time trying to carry all his possessions with him, my plea to him leave without his properties fell on deaf ears until the demon caught up with him.
All of a sudden, I saw myself on a very narrow path, which could not contain two people standing side by side. I looked in front of me, and saw only one person and I scarcely saw anybody behind me and I woke up with a Holy fear towards the days ahead.

When I woke the next morning, I asked the Lord to give me a scriptural backing for the revelation, and I heard Revelation 9:1-12, 11:1-19 in my spirit.
In that revelation (dream), anyone who got himself on that narrow path was safe.
Mathew 7:13, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:”
For those of us you already Christian (born-again), let us walk in the light.
Romans 13:11, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12:The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13:Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14:But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
For you who have not yet accepted the love of God, this is your best time to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Now, pray this prayer after me; “Lord Jesus, I come to you as a sinner, I ask that you forgive me all my sins, I accept you today as Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that you died for me and rose again. Thank you for accepting me as your Son today. I’m born-again! Hallelujah!
