1. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
MEMORISE: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. – John 14:18
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2022 MESSAGE
I have realised that anyone can suffer from depression. I remember that some years ago, when I was already the General Overseer, the Church was growing but somehow, I felt that people didn’t care about me. I felt I was labouring in prayer and fasting for people who didnt care, so, I decided to resign as the G.O.
Shortly after making this decision, I took a nap and when I woke up, there was a young girl who had come to see me. She said God told her to bring me a cake. I was so touched by the gesture that even though I dont normally eat cake, I ate that one. The Lord then said to me I thought you said no one cared. I realized that I had paid so much attention to appreciation from people that I didnt remember how much God cares for and loves me.
READ: Open Heaven For Teens Saturday November 26, 2022 – Freedom from Depression (1)
As a child of God, when you feel depressed, you need to go deeper into the presence of God because you cannot be in His presence and experience depression (Psalms 16:11 ). His presence carries His love. To enter into His presence, worship Him.
Psalms 100:4 says to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. When you do this, your garment of heaviness will be replaced with that of joy according to Isaiah 61:3
PRAYER POINT: Holy Spirit, please fill my heart with joy always.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Peter 4:1-19 , Ezekiel 38:1-23 , Ezekiel 39:1-29
