WELCOME to MFM Devotional, 25/08/22
PRAISE & WORSHIP:
Through the love of God, our Saviour,
all will be well;
free and changeless is his favour,
all will be well;
precious is the blood that healed us,
perfect is the grace that sealed us,
strong the hand
stretched out to shield us,
all will be well.
Though we pass through tribulation,
all will be well;
ours is such a full salvation,
all will be well.
happy when in god confiding,
fruitful if in Christ abiding,
holy through the Spirit’s guiding,
all will be well.
We expect a bright tomorrow;
all will be well;
faith can sing through days of sorrow,
all will be well;
on our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying
in our living, in our dying,
all will be well.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 19:1-8
25/08/22 MESSAGE:
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with your daily life, Proverbs12:25. A heavy heart is one that is filled with sadness. The mood of such a person will be dejected. Both believers and unbelievers sometimes experience depression.
Both the rich and the poor also do ‘ There are stories in the Bible where certain people experienced depression: Moses (Numbers 11: 10-16)’ David (Psalm 51; Psalm 32: 1-5), Elijah (1 Kings 19:1-18), Job, Jonah (Jonah 4:1-11), Psalmist (Psalm 73 )’ In case you or someone you know is battling with depression, there is hope as well as a way out.
First, let me make it clear that God does not want His children to be sad, although He might permit it sometimes for a reason. The Bible says we should always rejoice (1 Thessalonians 5:16). proverbs 17:22 tells us, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” The Bible also says that the joy of the Lord is our strength.
How do people get into depression? Proverbs 12:25 has the answer: a heavy heart. That is, a heart full Of anxiety, worries, sorrow, pain and unmet need and expectations. God does not want you to allow these negative emotions to OCCUPY your mind, They are not good for your physical health, emotional and mental health as well as your spiritual heath.
When you worry and exhibit fear and anxiety, the implication is that your faith will develop wings and fly out. Faith and fear, doubt and anxiety do not co-habit. When you exhibit anxiety and worries, you are simply implying that God cannot meet your needs. You will lose your connection to God, your true source, and still leave in lack. If you can develop and increase your faith in God and keep believing Him at all times, depression will be far from you and you will see the glory of God.
The divine prescription for dealing with depression is in Philippians 4:6-7. Believe it; Memorise it, confess it and claim it!
