24/7 DOXA Content, 2nd July-CONQUER SUICIDAL THOUGHTS Pt.2
_____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: Acts 16 vs 27►► ”The jailer woke up to see the prison doors wide open. He assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew his sword to kill himself.”~| NLT |_____________________________________
BLISSFUL greetings Cherished one. We learned yesterday that assumption was one of the reasons the jailer contemplated suicidal thoughts. Many have allowed the challenges they go through to form wrong assumptions for their life. Some assume they might not prosper because of a bad economy and family background; some assume they might not make it in life due to reasons best known to them. Don’t build your life on wrong assumptions or situations around you.
Build your life by the principles of God’s word because His word is living, powerful, sure and able to deliver results works. It will create a glorious environment around you for a thriving success. Another reason that triggered suicidal thought in him was the thought of failure. Every jailor was made responsible for his prisoner, under the same penalty to which the prisoner himself was exposed so failing to keep them secured was a big matter. The jailor had failed to meet the standard set by an institution. Many cannot even stand failure in their pursuit of a certain goal. But as a Christian, your faith given you is to help you stand any contrary wind including failure.
