Calvary greetings!
“Overcoming depression and anxiety,” a topic in the MCGI community, is a topic that I have always thought of even before now and this reason is that, i have always wondered and thought of how we humans can overcome depression and anxiety.
But in his today's bible teaching and review and according to the so many scriptures verses used by bro. Eli Soriano, I have now come to the understanding that it's possible to overcome depression and anxiety in life as a Christian if we strictly follow the dictates of the scripture.
So, according to the scripture in the book of Philippians 4:6-7 and as reviewed by bro. Eli, we were being told not to be anxious of anything in this life, but that, with prayers and understanding, we should make our request known to God and that he will give us peace that surpasses all understanding.
Look at the detail of this scriptural verse, one would realize that there's nothing to be worried about in life as that thing to be worried about is if the lord and that he has everything in his kitty only for us to make our request known to him and he's ready to give us these things with peace that surpasses all understanding.
Aside from this, bro. Eli, made us know that death is another thing that we should all as Christians be thinking of instead of these worldly things that would only perish in the world. He cited Lazarus as a typical example of one person who had nothing on earth but gained the kingdom of God.
He also cited the example of the thief on the cross that gained eternity, using all these examples to tell us that we should only be focused on making heaven and desist from the worldly things that may hinder us from making heaven as that would be the place where we will all enjoy eternity.
In conclusion, his teaching on overcoming anxiety and depression is so comprehensive and it made me know for the fact that there's nothing to worry about in this life of sin as God has everything we need in his kitty.
This is my entry to the MCGI topic review.
Thanks for reading.
