Greetings brethren, happy Sunday to you all. I welcome you all to my blog. It's another day to reflect on the word of God, it has been a wonderful week with Bro Eli inspiring teachings. So today I will be writing my reflection on this amazing lessons: "Reasons to believe in God" and "The biblical way to overcome depression and Anxiety".

God is the maker of all things, without him nothing will exist, and that's why we should always believe in him. The book of Psalms 53:1 made us to understand that those who do not believe in God are fools, they're people without understanding, full of abominable act and there's none that doeth good among them.
The book of Ecclesiastes 12:13 made us to understand our duty on earth, to fear God, keep his commandments and follow his teachings.

Lazarus faced so many struggles and temptations, but in all he never complained instead he trusted and hope in God until death, and that's why he was carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom where he was consoled.
This story teaches us to always have faith in God not matter the struggles, temptations and hardships we face in life, we should always trust in God knowing that our present condition does not define our future. This also calls for us to always help those in need if where are in the position to do so, the rich man was living in luxury and neglecting Lazarus the poor man forgetting that he will die one day. Everyone is destined to die both the rich and poor, it doesn't matter the prestige added to our names, we must all die one day that's why we must always be good to everyone around us.
The book of Phillipians 4:6-7 teaches us to have no anxiety in anything, but by prayer and supplication we should make known our petitions to God. As christians, we should always have faith in God for he is the only one who will deliver us from any situation and grant us eternal life.
I am really inspired by this lessons, all thanks to MCGI. God bless his words, amen 🙏.
God bless you all 🙏
