GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

REFUSE DEPRESSION

REFUSE DEPRESSION

I Samuel 16:19-23
Devotional:- “After that, whenever the bad depression from God tormented Saul, David got out his harp and played. That would calm Saul down, and he would feel better as the moodiness lifted.” (V.23) MSG

    Due to the numerous challenges facing people in the world today, many are always depressed. This often happens to people when all their expectations have been defeated. This is because men refuse to acknowledge God in their understanding and try to make it by themselves. Jesus says without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).

To be depressed is to be pressed down by prevailing circumstances. It is to be pulled down into self-imposed defeat due to unfulfilled expectations. It is to feel miserable and dejected. It is to be made sad or to be low in spirit. During such time, such a person will not be able to think well or make good decisions. He could even feel he doesn’t want to see anyone. Those things he loves to do will no longer appeal to him, and he could be feeling the world should even end. Such spirit was tormenting Saul the king but David was invited to sing and play the harp in praise of God in his presence. That will automatically bring God’s presence and fullness of joy will be the answer (Psalm 16:11).

Depression is therefore a product of ingratitude, worry, and sorrow. Anytime you feel heavy this way, seek to be in the gathering children of God where God’s presence will be vivid by true worship (Psalm 23:3). Where God’s servant will speak about God’s counsel, then His peace shall be returned to your heart. Hope will come again and your life will experience new joy and victory.

PRAYER: LORD, RESTORE YOUR FULL JOY INTO MY HEART.

“DEPRESSION IS THE FORERUNNER OF EVIL DEEDS, KILL IT BEFORE IT KILLS YOU”
