  3. What is Depression? • A form of Mental Illness • 2 degrees of Depression • Minor/mild • Major • Why should we prevent Depression? • sadness, inability to socialize, inferiority • It could cause Psychosomatic Diseases • Proverbs 17: 22(KJV) says A merry heart does good, like medicine, but the “broken spirit” dries the bones.

  5. I. Look on the “Brighter Side” • Paul’s Options • To focus on his problems/troubles • To focus on God • Pauls’ Liabilities • Religious- other disciples wont accept him • Political- imprisoned, punished many times, “identity crisis” • Physical . Eye ailment… regarded as “thorn in the flesh” • Economically- poor.. He is making tents to support his ministry.. • Pauls’ Decision • He had chosen to focus on God’s Greatness • “our God is always bigger than our problems..” • Kinsamakadugangsaiyangkinabuhipinaagisapagpalibog..??? Phil. 4: 13 says “ I can DO ALL THINGS through CHRIST who gives me strength.”

  6. II. Live Contented In Phil. 4: 11, Paul says, “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be CONTENT. . .” Not to be confused with being “STAGNANT/ lukewarm” (Rev. 3: 16) We must learn to live within our “means” - “if we are earning 5, avoid spending 6.” -setting REALISTIC goals -Slowly, but Surely… not too aggressive

  7. Illustration: CLOCK “A good clock can never be determined by how fast/slow its hands rotate… it is measured by the accuracy of time it shows.” • Over-aggresiveness can cause Depression/ “burnout” • (1 Kings 19: 4) lesson from Elijah • “Angtumatakbongmatulin kung matinik ay malalim..”

  8. III. Lead Others • 1 Cor. 11: 1(KJV) says, “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.” • INSPECT YOURSELF • Evaluate your heart and spiritual status • Luke 6: 39, ”can a blind man lead a blind man? • INVITE THEM • If we have seen the TRUTH we should NOT keep it for ourselves only.. we should tell it to others also.. Ex. (John 1: 46) Philip said to Nathanael, “Come and see.” • IGNITE THEM • With the Word of God… challenging, encouraging, and teaching them
