Suicide is nothing but a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If anyone is considering ending his/her life, remember this: "this too shall pass".
Depression is like a deflated ball. It flattens the spirit. Why slide into depression when you can live your life sober and true.
Sobriety is not despair or depression. Live a sober life.
Jesus says we should watch and pray, but did you also know that His Word tells us children of God to be sober.
Being sober is being alert, aware and conscious of your decisions, knowing that actions have reactions and consequences.
But being "high" the opposite of being sober,
Is the gyration people push for.
High-life: drink and be drunk and wild, play metallic rock, dance hall and blues and become uncontrollable that even your mood can swing, take codeine and sleep long and deep, do hard drugs and be inspired to write songs, movie scripts, draw or be creative (creativity, artworks and music that has no connection with God's glory), the same drug effect has made some commit crime, rob, kill, assassinate and even rape.
How can we avoid the effects of the above?
By being sober not unhappy, depressed, sad or melancholic.
A drunk man will find it hard to take responsibility for sleeping in a gutter, so will an armed robber who was high on drugs during his operation which led to the death of his victims.
They will always say it's the devil.
Depression most often leads to suicide and is caused by hopelessness.
Someone with hope will know that "our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth," and that "the joy of the Lord is our strength."
What causes depression are many.
What is the rate of suicide even in Africa? It's rising sadly.
Why is there hopelessness? People don't believe in God or that His Word works. Why? Fake Christians (wolves in sheep and shepherd clothings) have eroded the sound doctrines of scripture, leading many to see it as a mere book, fable, wishful book, ancient historic record or idealistic book with no relevance to modern day reality.
What is farther than the truth than these opinions and schools of thought!
There is now self-love doctrine, new age religion, the glossy, fancy and attractive packaging of atheism and religions far from God that recommend self-help, man-madeness, self-realiance, yoga, meditation, channelling of spirits, levitation and deep occultism.
But we must hold tight to the old time religion and close our ears to new gospels preached to those with itchy ears.
Can we overcome depression, suicidal tendencies or hopelessness outside of Jesus Christ? Never.
Judas never went back to Jesus and he committed suicide, Peter did and his hopelessness and depression was ransomed, transformed and overcome, making him the rock on which the church was built, Peter the rock!
God loves you,
If all else fails including yourself,
God never fails.
In God there is no depression, suicide or hopelessness.
But love, peace, purpose, perseverance, hope and joy.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 June Global Day of Parents   3 June World Bicycle Day  4 June International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression   5 June World Environment Day  5 June International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing  8 June World Oceans Day   12 June World Day Against Child Labour 13 June International Albinism Awarene...
