In the part two of our topic review on how to overcome depression brother Eli made us to understand that in as much as God has ordained for everyone to die we should not preoccupy our minds with the thought of death rather we should preoccupy our mind with what follows after death which is life after death From the first teaching we understand that god has promised us eternity in a beautiful paradise so he has no plans for us to be here on earth for ever and we should learn to accept his will for us

Rather than thinking or worrying about dying we should live our life to be saved so we and be able to enter the paradise prepared for us where there's peace that should be our focus here on earth but if your thoughts is only about things of the world we are likely to suffer anxiety and even pains but if we only put our trust in God and live ready to go home at anytime he calls us we will be free from depression we are only visitors on earth Brother Eli said dying is like graduating from the university and when a Christian dies it's like graduating with honours to die in Christ is to live forever From Ecclesiastes 9:5 said every living being knows that one day the will answer to the call of nature but then we should not live in the fear of death it is until it's God's time for us to die that we will if God has not permitted it will we not we see that in Mathew 10:29 if God so intentional about an ordinary bird how much more us humans who he created in his own image

Our soul is very important to God that is why in the book of mark 8:36 said it is not profitable for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul this shows that our soul is even more important than the whole world our soul is more valuable compare to anything on earth so if the sparrow cannot die except the God permit it's so also our soul we will not die without the consent of God so we should stop worrying about dying so we don't lose our peace our focus is to do the right will of God to be saved and ready for the life that comes after death which is eternal
