The dangers of DEPRESSION and FRUSTRATION

THE DANGERS OF DEPRESSION AND FRUSTRATION

Elijah was frustrated and depressed and so ran from Jezebel. Jezebel had decreed that she would kill Elijah " I kings 19: 1-8" When Elijah the great prophet heard this he fled and hid in a cave. He was tired and was afraid of death, but this was only because he got frustrated and depressed from the attack from Jezebel. He probably felt he had been strong for too long and just wanted to be free from attacks. His depression led him to hid from Jezebel a woman. 

Elijah the prophet had destroyed the altars of Baal by just a word of prayer and killed all the prophets of Baal "1 kings 18:25-40".

He killed two groups of captains and their fifty men by calling down fire from heaven to destroy them and the third group was only spared because they pleaded with Elijah "2 Kings 1:9-15".

This same Elijah now had to run from the wicked wife of Ahab called Jezebel, just because he was frustrated and depressed and tired of battle. God met him and because of God's love for him. God ended his assignment and told him to hand over to a man called Elisha. God knew that frustration and depression would make Elijah vulnerable to the enemy's attacks and so had to call him home. He was swept off by the chariots of fire from Jehovah God. His flesh did not decay neither did he die. He was called home.

Moses was a friend of God. God told him everything he was about to do . God used Moses to perform signs and wonders for the Israelites. Yet the Isrealites kept on complaining and troubling Moses. In Exodus 17:1-7.

 God instructed Moses to provide water for the Isrealites by striking the rock, but Moses in anger over the frustration and depression went ahead to smite the rock though water came out of the rock Numbers 27:12-14 Jehovah God saw that Moses was angry, frustrated and depressed and had in the process hindered God's honour.

God decided to end his assignment by calling him home Numbers 27:12-14. God took Moses, his body never decayed nor did he die because God loved him but had to call him home so he would not loose him to the enemy. God knew that his vulnerable state would make him yield to the enemy's attacks if he remained and so decided to call him home before that happens.
