The World Health organization [WHO] has identified depression as a leading cause of disability worldwide and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.
One of the core clinical signs of depression is a unique medical condition which doctors call Anhedonia. Anhedonia causes people to lose the capacity to experience pleasure and no longer want to engage in formally enjoyable experiences.  This situation has been attributed to the pressures of modern existence. Medical Experts say, Anhedonia is becoming a more common condition today, because many people are living worried and anxious and full of fear.
With increasing global instability, it is understandable why men are living depressed. The world is full of joy stealers.  It is the devil’s ministry to “steal, kill, and destroy”, and he is doing everything possible to steal people’s joy especially in these crucial last days..

While many are going about anxious and cheerless, as believers we must be careful to constantly guard our joy.  Though there may be reasons to get upset every day, we must deliberately and carefully stay joyful.
In Mark 6, the disciples were fighting against a contrary wind, they were toiling and rowing and it must have been quite frustrating. But then Jesus came walking on the water and He said to them “Be of good cheer!”
In other words, He was telling them to cheer up, despite the storm.
Whatever tries to steal your joy is actually preparing you for oppression.  Because the devil will always first try to depress you before he can oppress you. Therefore by the Blood of Jesus always come against anything that tries to steal your joy. Through praise we abide in God’s Presence where there is fullness of joy.
Philippians 4:4 says “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
When you rejoice always, you will be surrounded by God’s Presence always. And you can be sure of victory, because if God be for you, nothing and nobody can be against you.
Today, as we stay in the joy of the Lord, surely, we will have the strength to overcome every challenge and keep breaking forth to higher realms and a glorious fulfillment of every prophetic agenda for our lives this year.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the redemption I have through the shed Blood of Jesus. By Your grace, I have overcome every cause of depression. Thank You Lord for your joy that constantly fills my heart in Jesus Name. .
