Once of the the best sermons that changed my life was a message about Veils.
Veils refer to those things that prevent us from seeing God.

1. Sustenance.
2. People.
3. Distractions.
4. Grieving of the heart.

Depression falls under Grieving of the heart.

When we are depressed or grieving, it's difficult to keep faith alive because our circumstances seems at loggerheads with God's promises.

So what is the solution.
I suffered a lot of depression bouts due to challenges that came my way.
It caused me to seek comfort and succour in bad habits that nearly destroyed my life.

Until Christ stepped into my situation.

Truly, Depression is the product of a loss of hope.
This could be as a result of myriad of reasons, usually important but not as priority as the enemy magnifies it in our minds.

The solution to depression is to stop believing the lies that the enemy keeps telling you. And to believe in the Truth.
Your first and most important Truth is, Age is always on your side. You're not too old. In fact, your present age is the perfect age that God wants you to be in the condition you are, for you to be able to do what He needs you to do.

Meaning, you're right on time.
Now when you stop believing all the lies that you're too old to be employable. Or you're getting too old, go and marry. Or your business is a failure etc. You can fill in your gap.

The truth is, that's all lies.
Let the word of God which is the only Truth be your truth.

You're saved. You're blessed. Etc.

These words are mere words without faith.
But for as many who receive them, they are Truths and the only Truth.

Philippians 4:6-8 is my word against every depression or challenge I could ever face.

It exhorts us not to worry about what's happening to us or around us. But to keep our focus on God, trusting, praising and growing in Him.

As we do this, He will know we Love Him for Him, and He will certainly move into our situations.

I used to say a Christian cannot feel Depressed because the presence of the Holyspirit itself produces Joy.
But that Joy truly can only be sustained by constantly yielding to the Holyspirit and standing on God's word as we focus and grow in Christ.

He will some how find someone to meet our need.
Or give us an idea that will be the solution to that our challenge.
Or He'll just let us change our perspective about our problem and we will begin to see it as a blessing.

God works in mysterious and diverse ways, so let's just trust Him to do what only He can do.
Knowing that He's ever faithful, ever sure.

It is well.
Trust me, what you think is such a big challenge, is nothing to God.
You're probably wondering, so why won't he just do it since its nothing to Him.

The truth is, there's something(s), he needs you to get rid of before he does what you need.
Because getting that thing at the wrong time might invite problem.

God knows what we want more than we know. The best part is, He knows the best time for us to have it.

When I lost a bank job, I wanted to run mad.
Today, I thank God I lost the job.
You know why?
That job would have led me straight to hell and my soul would be too seered in evil that it would be difficult for me to find salvation.
The worst part, I would have destroyed several lives especially ladies along the way.

Today, I'm not where I want to be but I'm far better than where I once was.
I was proud, God needed me to become humble.
I was egotistical and conceited, God needed me to be down to earth.
I was stubborn, God needed me to be more yielding.
I was too carnal, God needed me to be spiritual.
Of course I was living in sin, God needed be to be pursuing righteousness. Etc

So if I had maintained that job then with those my characters, I would really mess things up.

So pls, know that God's time is perfect, for He makes everything beautiful in its time.

Receive Strength, Faith and Revival in your spirit in Jesus name.

Michael's word's of comfort:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:28‭, ‬31‭-‬32‭, ‬34‭-‬39 KJV

Depression is The Absence of JOY and PEACE...

The question is how do I ensure I Remain Joyful?

From my Personal Experience, I Can confidently Say GENUIE and Lasting JOY and PEACE can only be Found in JESUS CHRIST..

Many people today have tried to get Peace and Joy the wrong way that why u see them fall back into depression despite all ....

Many thought Money was their problem, they got into various evils , got the money, got the game and yet they still see that depression is on them...

The truth is any Wealth or Riches that is not Godly is a material to kill the owner!!


Some hv joined Occult homes just to make it , only to see that they are in fire... they keep on showing off on internet so people may think they are in peace... I tell u , many of them are in pains and cries in their closet... some can bear it And they begin to tell of depression thoughts.. others kill Themselves straight!!

That boy or girl u are admiring and wishing to be like because of the pics and cars he/ She shows on instargram , is likely to be doing such in search of Peace and Joy.. all to no avail!

Money without JESUS= Depression

JESUS CHRIST Is the Only Source of Sound Peace and JOY!

You've said it all sir.
But some times believers who have experienced Christ also go through depression.
What can you say about this?

Believers who are in such cases are mainly those who do not hv Absolute TRUST in GOD..

Many speak GOD but deep inside they are not confident of what they Say..

Many have Backslidden privately...

Many have Unconfessed sins ....

A Child of GOD Who has Absolute Trust and Confidence in GOD will find it difficult to fall into Depression...

Absolute Trust and Confidence in GOD is the remedy to Depression..

The Moment a Believer begins to be Double Minded... Just know that Depression is not Far
