“4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

Depression can be traced to thoughts about some negative experiences or occurrences which becomes inseparable. When this thought rules one’s life, without controlling it depression will lead to suicide. Negative thought is the root of depression, when you handle it, you’ve successfully subdued depression.

Apostle Paul said, we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Depression is not a product of flesh and blood, it may be traced to a person but, depression is not a person. It’s a thought you need to fight. It needs to be cast down, all imaginations that leads to depression, crying, sobbing needs to be cast out of your thought pipe. No matter the present help you may be enjoying, you need to fight the thought, I pray today, whoever may be going through depression, that spirit is cast out in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Work against that thought and depression will be forgotten in your life.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“9. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 

12. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Depression will always suppress a loner. When you feel depress it’s very bad to be alone. No matter what the situation may be, don’t stay alone, be with someone who can stand by you. Even, a man of vision don’t function alone, how much more a depressed person? 

King Solomon made it clear, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” When you’re around someone who you can open up to, they will be a strength to suppress your depression.

“For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.” When you walk with the right person, your depression will keep reducing because, they will be a shoulder to lean on. When the negative thought flows through your mind, they know what’s going on within you, and can quickly lift your spirit out of depression. Locate who can lift your spirit not who can suppress your spirit. Search for those who have a listening hear not people who doesn’t care about what’s happening around you. Try not to be alone, find a companion that can keep your spirit alive. Two are better than one.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“7. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

8. Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

9. So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.

10. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

Welcome to May, “OUR MONTH OF ESCAPE”. Evil targets against you are failing in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Today, our focus is “Going To God during Depression”, which is one of the hardest step to take during depression. Many feel neglected and forsaken by God when in depression. Some turn to look for man’s help, connection or diabolical means to escape from depression. Some even turn to suicide like Judas did but those are not the best way to handle depression, after identifying the source. Take it to God. When you go to God, you have full details of what to present to Him since you’re fully informed of the source.

That was what Hannah did. She knew the source of depression wasn’t Peninnah, so she presented her case to God directly, without mentioning Peninnah nor her reproach. She gave God a detail of her depression and the man of God, (after the misconception) gave a seal on her prayer and she left without sadness of heart. 

When you present your depression to God what do you say? Are you focus and direct with your request or casting blames instead of speaking to God? Present your depression to God not your reproach, and He will attend to you.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“5. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”

This week, we shall be focusing on How To Handle Depression. The first way to handle depression is by identifying the source of depression. What is casting down your mind, troubling your heart? Is it what men said to you? Attitude of men towards you? Lost of loved ones or lost of job or properties? You need to identify the cause of depression before you know how to handle it. When the source of depression can’t be identify, solution can’t be gotten. 

When you’re depressed by what you don’t have or what people say about you, all you need do is to remember what God said about you, He’s promises never fails. When depression is as a result of what you’ve lost, can it be gotten back? If yes, work on getting it back, if not, forget it and move on, because, God will never take away from you what you’ll need for surviver in life. Is it as a result of a certain need in your life? Go to God and make it know to Him, He will never deny you what He has already planned to give to you. Identifying the source of depression is the first step to handling depression, without this, solution will be difficult. Can you identify what is casting your soul down? Compare it with what God has said concerning you.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Today, we shall be studying the person presenting the offering before God. This is an important aspect of our offering. The scripture said concerning Cain, 

“But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. Genesis 4:5”

Cain was rejected and his offering was also rejected. If you as a person is not accepted before God your offering can’t be accepted. So, your personality comes before your offering.

Paul said, “ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” How do you live your life out of Church? How did you get the seed of your offering, by doping others, cheating or robbery? When your way is not pleasing with the Lord, your offering can’t be accepted by God. You live your home angry, with negative words with your spouse, neighbor, or even siblings and you want God to accept your offering? That was why Jesus said, in Matthew chapter 5,

“23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

When your person is faulty before God, your offering is not good for God. Are you qualified to give Him a good offering? 

Good Day And God Bless you.

“1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2. Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.”

Giving is meant to be releasing what one has Willingly, without being compel to do so. It’s not a giving we are cajoled or persuaded to do. Giving is a request by God to all human, not just christians, in other to affect lives and Ministers positively. Giving isn’t a business of “Give me I Give you back” but a game of Meeting needs in order to have our needs divinely met some day.

God commanded the Israelites to bring Him an offering, willingly and from their heart, not being forced. When we give God our offerings without willingness of heart, grumbling or forcefully, they aren’t acceptable to Him, they aren’t good enough for Him. If there’s anything God desire, it’s what you release to Him happily and wholeheartedly. What you give without complaining. Are your seeds good enough to be presented to God? Those pledges, are they really good enough for Him? Let your offerings and seed be given willingly and wholeheartedly.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“9.And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

10. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

11. And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.”

Today’s lesson may seems somehow. When we give God our offerings, it’s not part of our duty to monitor what the offerings are used for because we are not assigned to monitor it, Yes. Many want to know what the tithes, offerings, Seed of faith or Pledges are used for after giving, you are not assigned to do that. Ministers are not accountable to us, they are accountable to God. Many has put themselves against God in so doing. If we monitor and approach them with what is used for, God will Judge us and no one can escape God’s judgement. Give your offering and Let It Go.

God required sacrifices from Abraham, after giving it, He sat to watch the offering and even drove away the birds from eating it. Will God eat the sacrifice? Was Abraham watching to see how God will swallow the meal? Stop doing follow up on your offerings, “Let Go Off It”, it’s not your duty to see what it’s used for. Let God do that for you because it can speak against you and your offerings. Let your offering be good enough for God to accept it.

Good Day And God Bless you.

1. But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2. And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

We Christians, in the name of giving to God, do attract the anger of God upon ourselves. Our givings are not acceptable to God because of our attitude and actions before the offerings were released. Our God still remains Faithful and everything that has to do with Him must be done Faithfully. 

Ananias and Sapphire were willing to give to God. They saw others selling their properties and giving the proceed to God, so they decided to do the same. They sold their property and intended to give to God, but made a mistake. God doesn’t require you to give all your resources but according to your ability. You are not to please men with your giving but God. They would have agreed to give God some percentage of the proceed instead of telling Apostle Peter that was all their proceed. Because they gave unfaithfully it led to their death. When you are giving to God be Faithful with your seeds, don’t do beyond your ability, don’t give to gain the praise of men or to please men, let your focus be to God, not according to what others are giving. It’s better not to give than to give and attract the wrath of God because of your seed. Be faithful in your giving.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“1. And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

2. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

And he said, Of a truth I 3. say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

4. For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.”

When we go to God with our offerings, seed of faith, pledges, and tithes, what do we have in mind? “I want to pay the highest”, “Pastor must see me as the highest tither”, or “God, this is all I have, accept it from me”. God Is not moved by the size of our offerings but the thought of our heart. It will surprise you to know that, some might not have an offering to give to God than to dance wholeheartedly and will be rewarded than those with #50,000 or $500. That is God for you, because he judges the thought of our heart not the offerings of our hands. I Have discovered that, some keep account of their tithes regularly in order to know how much they’ve paid, Smile. If God should keep the account of our sins, can our offerings and tithe cover it?

Jesus told His disciples, this woman, a widow, with two mites, cast the most of all, because,

1. She has little,

2. She was a widow,

3. She gave all she add,

4. With Joy,

These qualities determines a lot with what we give to God and others. May I ask you again, Your last offering, was it good enough for God? Can God feel the fragrance of it? Remember, not the size but the heart that gives it.

Good Day And God Bless you.

“8. And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

9. But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

Yesterday, we saw one of the reasons why Cain’s offering was rejected and Abel’s offering was accepted. Today, we shall be studying Saul’s sacrifice. 

God gave instruction to Saul to destroy the whole city of Amalek, both human and animal. But he selected those that seems good to him and destroyed every other things. Getting back home, he and his men decided to sacrifice those animals to the Lord.

Most times, we present proceed gotten from disobedience to God. We cheat others, deny others their wages, proceeds from stealing, and present them to God as offering. We rob people of their hard earning and give to God as tithe, offering, prophetic seeds knowing fully well that, God is against those proceeds. They are unclean sacrifices. Saul presented offerings which God has declared forbidden and this cost him the throne. Which offering are you presenting to God, are they clean or unclean offering? Are they presentable to God? Are they Good offerings in the sight of God?

Good Day And God Bless you.
