Deut 31:8, 1 Kings 18:21-40, 1 Kings 19:1-21, 2 Kings 1:9-12, Deut 8:3, Matt 4:4, John 8:32, 1 Cor 15:19, Prov 23:19, Psalm 62:5

Men and brethren, the enemy from time to time sends things that will distract us from making progress and seeing results. The enemy uses distraction from all corner to make us believe that we are not delivered and that we remain his captive but if the enemy can distract you, he can destroy you. See, these distractions become the avenue where depression enters our life, and we lose focus. I have seen many who lay down their life goals due to the reason that they have tried and failed. Some have concluded one relation is behind their predicament and thus cannot make it in life, and they are seated in the same level with complainers and depressed.  They have not received the Commanding Grace from the masterJesus, who has declared our Freedom. You are now empowered to Proclaim your Liberty. Receive power to dismantle all obstacles in Jesus name Amen.

Friends, let me add that depression will lie every day to you, and one of its best lies is that you cannot do anything to help yourself. And yes, you may have a past filled with rejection, shame and possibly abuse but obedience to Gods word and the grace it carries will always point the way toward freedom. So, when you are frustrated, disappointed and feel the whole world has deserted you, go back to God who gave you the first dream. He has made a declaration of Grace that commands Attention Freedom on your life and He will free you from depression. Remind the devil that you are Delivered from Oppression and Shame. Proclaim your Liberty. Dont allow Distraction: Obstacle to Destiny Actualization to stop you from your destiny. Jesus said,  I should proclaim liberty to the captives. (Isaiah 61:1). Today, I declare you free from everything and anything holding you from realizing your destiny. Be set free in Jesus name.

Many times on the surface we get lifted, we get lifted by a song, a moment of praise, and we feel good, but we don’t live in the area of our lifting.I have come to understand that most people are depressed by the distractions they feel on the inside, that has made their heart sick. The devil goes about like a roaring lion planting seeds of discouragement. The devil keep whispering to them that there is no Commanding Grace that command blessings. Making us to see that we are not Delivered from Oppression and Shame and that we are still captives. People are afraid to Declare their Liberty. Some emptiness, loneliness, a perception, a tragedy, an alienation, a personal thing, a past thing, an invincible thing, a hidden thing, a restricted thing, things that make the heart sick, and they go down to the cage. The message is clear. When distraction and  depression hits, fix your eyes on God, his power, and his love for you. God has rescued us from dark places. His voice has proclaimed liberty to the captives. Today is declared your day of recovery. You are bouncing back in grand style 

Friends, laziness breeds disappointment, and disappointment breeds hopelessness, and hopelessness breeds depression, and depression robs you of your motivation and create Obstacle to Destiny Actualization. The scripture assures us by saying “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” Deuteronomy 31:8. That means God has given to you the power to proclaim liberty to the captives I announce, You won’t see shame or reproach again.

The Scripture shows that depression can strike anyone. Understandably, depression can come after a defeat; an emotional let-down can also come after a great victory. Discouragement and depression are normal parts of being human. They can be triggered by the death of a loved one, illness, loss of a job or status, divorce, leaving home, or many other traumatic events. The Bible does not show God punishing his people for their sadness. Therefore, you won’t find the term “depression” in the Bible, except in the New Living Translation. Instead, the Bible uses words such as downcast, sad, forlorn, discouraged, downhearted, mourning, troubled, miserable, despairing, and brokenhearted. You will, however, find many Bible people showing the symptoms of this disease: Hagar, Moses, Naomi, Hannah, Saul, David, Solomon, Elijah, Nehemiah, Job, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Judas Iscariot, and Paul, but they stayed with God, they never lose their passion for God. Hear me, whatever you are going through is for a moment. You shall Break through all Obstacles in Jesus name

Sometimes, your life can be similar to a masquerade; pretending to be what people want you to be. At a certain point, depression comes often when you cannot be yourself and you depressed who you are, so that you can present what you think is acceptable to people and the pressure of that makes you depressed.

How in the world can somebody like Elijah be highly anointed and be this gifted, and be this publicly powerful and miserable all at the same time. How in the world can a beautiful girl be beautiful and feel ugly all at the same time. How in the world can you have a good job, paid very well and you are still found in a dark places? How in the world, do you dream of getting married and now you are married and still feel hopeless? Have you wondered why rich men and women die of taken hard drugs? Money was supposed to be the defence but now it has become the offence Ecclesiastes 7:12.

How in the world can things be going so good and be going so well that people are jealous of you and you are crying your eyes out in your secret dark place because you hate your own life. Here this, Elijah just called down fire from heaven but he allowed the rantings of a woman to distract him and put him in depression. The man with the fire ministry anointing; the man through whom we learnt how to sing ‘the God that answereth by fire, let Him be my God’ after killing 450 prophets of baal fled for his life and sat in a juniper tree 1 Kings 18: 21-40.

Have you ever been in the place where the fear of things that have never happened, fears of failure, fear of defeat, fear of death knocks you down so badly that for days you had refused to eat? Jesus has proclaimed liberty to the captives. Therefore, through the blood of Jesus Christ, I rebuke, bind up and destroy all the spirit-guides, helps, and shields of workers of evil, and I stripped of them of their evil powers and influence against anyone and every committed partner of this commission in the name of Jesus.

Have you ever thought you have been delivered after church services, after hearing anointed messages, after fasting and prayers, and yet instead of moving forward, you relocated to the cave, in the dark place and wanted to die? 1 Kings 19:9. The bible says Elijah was fed twice by the Angel; but was that enough without taking action? Let me add that we need the word of God daily to refresh our mind and position us for generational impact. Don’t miss the daily devotion at the comfortzone because the more the word of God in you the more you are prevented from the dark places. I Kings 19:5, 7, Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4. No matter what, Dont Surrender to Depression because you are Delivered from Oppression and Shame

Have you turned yourself to be in the luxury of becoming the victim? You have concluded, nobody treated you right, nobody understand you right, nobody has been there for you right, nobody can date you right, nobody treat you right on your job, people always violate you somewhere, every time you want God to tell you why you are passing through what you are passing through.

Is your perception of people always wrong because they are not acting like you, not eating like you, not dressing like you, not doing stuff like you? And until you change the pattern of your perception the cycle will never stop. If God who created can ask you what are you doing here? It means you are not supposed to be in there?

And until you change the pattern of your perception you will keep chucking it down and going down, the cycle will never stop because it is coming from inside of you.

When you are in the cave, you cannot do anything for God in the cave, you cannot do anything for yourself in the cave. No preacher can set you free from depression; they can only lead you to the truth inside of you. Because the truth of your situation is inside of you, what will set you free is inside of you, and when you believe it, you get your miracle John 8:32

You must come to the door of your cave for God to set you free? Elijah came to the door of the cave. “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD” verse 11

Expectancy will bring you to the door of the cave. An expectant mother goes shopping and prepares a nursery in anticipation of the baby. If you pay your tithes and offerings and sow regularly into God’s Kingdom, there is nothing wrong in expecting a harvest from God.

The man that shall be afflicted is the man that has nothing to expect. Paul said if we have no hope we are of men most miserable. 1 Corinthians 15:19, Proverbs 23:18, Psalm 62:5. What drives you back to the cave is when you stop expecting anything to happen. Because the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off. The beginning of depression is to allow yourself to feel frustrated. Remember a blind man that told Jesus ” “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up” John 5:5-8. for 38 years he lost hope and lost help. It will not be your portion.

This message is coming to you so that you can believe that you can get out of your mess; that you can believe in yourself, believe that help is coming and it is not over until it is over. It is a message of saying you are liberated from the Captivity of the evil one. You carry Grace that commands Attention. All those witches and wizard operating in your village must be told that you are no longer their mate. God has set you free. You are liberated from dark places. From today, you are finally free from shame, fear, loneliness, anger, depression and rejection. Therefore the enemy of your destiny actualization shall no longer hold you hostage for Jesus has set you free, Amen.
