In the recent past, there have been incidents of many husbandmen slipping into depression because of the challenges of life and unmet expectations. Many husbandmen are frustrated, discouraged, and ultimately, they die. Depression is a spiritual operation from the pit of hell, thrown at the husbandman by satan. The Word of God calls it the spirit of heaviness.
And the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek, he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound………..the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Is.61:1-3)
It doesn’t seem you are making any concrete progress. It appears as if all doors of success are locked against you, and there is no help coming your way from anyone or place. And in your confused state and struggle, satan shows you how worthless you are as the man, husband, and father. Satan tells you that life is cheap and can be terminated. He drags you into a depressive state and tells you that you do not lose anything by killing yourself. He shows you how simple it is to take your life. He tells you it is the best alternative to your challenges. He magnifies your problems and makes you think that you are the only husbandman who is going through those struggles. He tries to make your problems bigger than they appear. And in all of these, you fall into depression and conclude that suicide is the way out. It is a big lie!
Don’t fall for the lies of satan. He wants to accomplish his assignment to steal, to destroy, and to kill in your life (Jn.10:10).
The Word of God in Isaiah 61 shows us what depression really is. It is the spirit of heaviness. It is an oppression from the devil to make you offended in God and in His word; to make you see no hope for a better tomorrow; and to make you give up on God’s glorious plans for your life as the good and godly husbandman. The spirit of heaviness births depression, and its mission is to steal, destroy, and kill you. But God has made a way of escape for you. God has given you the garment of praise, and that is what he wants you to wear and continue wearing.
Now, see what the Word of God says as a way out of this satanic landmine of depression.
