10 CURES FOR DISCOURAGEMENT

Numbers 21:4-5.

Knowing that discouragement kills, there must be a way out of this deadly disease. The way out or rather, the cure for this disease will be our focus today. We shall be looking at the 10 ways of handling it.

·         SOAK YOURSELF IN GOD’S WORD. The more of the word of God

you know the better your chances of overcoming discouragement (1John 2:14).

·         REMIND YOURSELF OF THE PAST GLORIOUS DAYS. When you remember the days when things were rosy, it will help you to know that tough time never last, but tough people do.

·         REMEMBER THAT GOD WHO CREATED YOU IS FAITHFUL. Remind yourself that God will not allow the temptation that will consume you to come to you. For He abides faithful (1Cor. 10:13; Heb. 10:23, 11:11).

·         REMOVE YOUR CONFIDENCE FROM MAN AND PLACE IT ON GOD. The Bible says woe is he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. Trust God with all your heart and lean not on people or your understanding (Psalms 37:3; Prov. 3:5).

·         GROW YOURSELF. What to do when you are waiting for the answer from God is to keep growing in God. The period from waiting and manifestation is to grow in grace. (2Pet.3:17-18).

·         REHEARSE THE WORD OF GOD TO YOURSELF. In times of discouragement, speak the word of God to yourself. By doing so, you are encouraging yourself. Remember, David encouraged himself in the Lord (Eph.5:19).

·         WEAR YOUR BEST CLOTHES. Don’t let the clothes you are wearing tell people of what you are going through. Remember, you will be addressed by the way you dress.

·         REHEARSE YOUR VISION. The time of discouragement is a time to read to yourself the vision of your future. If you don’t have any, then it will now be the time to write one and make plain upon tables (Hab.2:2).

·         DON’T LOOK DOWN BUT LOOK UP. The Bible says ‘Looking unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith. Don’t look down because your help cannot come from there. But your Deliverer is from above. So, look up (Heb 12:1-2).

·         ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO ARE DICOURAGED. The time of discouragement is a good time to look for those who may be going through the same as you and encourage them. Pray for them. By so doing, your spirit-man will be lifted.

I pray for you today that whatever you may be going through now, that has caused you discouragement; the Lord Almighty will intervene in it today in Jesus Name.
