Freedom From Depression

Leave a comment

God's light outshines the darkness of depression

Tags: Depression, Freedom, God, Psalms

I’ve come across several teenagers lately who are depressed. It really shakes me up! These kids are in the prime of their life and yet they are bogged down by chains of gloom, fear, and discouragement.

When one is depressed, darkness reigns inside. I’m no psychiatrist, but I see it everywhere. Adults of every age are suffering, too. It can really knock the wind out of you to consider the sheer number of people who daily live in this reality. It is not of the Lord. The Bible says: “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Because He is light and love, by all means, He wants us in the light with Him!

So, what are we to do?

I take great comfort and find specific direction for overcoming depression in Psalm 23. (And, no, this Psalm is not just for funerals! Unfortunately, it has that reputation. But it is, in fact, wisdom for everyday life.) Let’s observe it together and find God’s guidance for living free from chains of discouragement. Together, let’s find freedom in God’s marvelous light.

Psalm 23:1 – “The LORD is my shepherd.”

Notice the word “is.” This verse does not say, “I hope the Lord will be my shepherd,” nor does it say, “It would be nice if…” Rather, it says that the Lord IS my shepherd. He is present, right now, as my skillful guide. Worries focus on the unknowns of the future, but when we stay present we find the Lord Jesus Christ right by our side, guiding patiently as a shepherd does.

Also note the word “my.” God is personal. He is mine. I need not take my woes to anyone else, but instead I go right to Him. When we meditate on the reality of His present, personal nature, we come to realize that we are exactly where we need to be… and we are covered. The rest of verse 1 states, “I lack nothing.” Or, “I have everything I need.”

This is not “Christianese”. It is truth. We are in the care of a skillful Shepherd who loves us. This truth can revolutionize our mental outlook!

How does the 23rd Psalm minister to you? Why do we tend to reach out to God more, when we are walking in hard circumstances? Reach out to God now, and reach out to other Christians.

Bitcoin maintains above 4K most top 100 in red Kin sees 47 gain

Leave a comment

Bitcoin maintains above $4K, most top 100 in red, Kin sees 47% gainBitcoin maintains above $4K, most top 100 in red, Kin sees 47% gain

The new week has started in a not-too-good stance for almost all coins in the top 100, with few exceptions coming from coins, such as Stellar (XLM), Kin and Enjin Coin (ENJ).
 

Overall

The new week has started low for most coins as red color dominates the top 100-coin list. That said, the total market capitalization doesn’t see any significant changes at $139,654,671,582.

 

Top 10

The largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC) has successfully maintained its value above $4,000 at $4,034, despite seeing a minor 0.38% loss in the last 24 hours.

The other coins on the top 10 have been seeing losses, except Stellar (XLM) and Tether (USDT), with the biggest loss experienced by Litecoin (LTC) with -3.05% at $60.1 price point.

XLM is leading the gain by 2.55% at $0.11, while USDT sees a 0.21% gain at $1.01 price point.

Top 100

Most coins in the top 100 are in red color, with few exceptions, such as Enjin Coin (ENJ), Ravencoin (RVN), Maximine Coin (MXM) and Kin (KIN).

The biggest gain is seen by KIN with an impressive 47.8% at $0.000073, followed by ENJ and MXM that see 15.39% and 12.67% gains at $0.19 and $0.04 price points respectively.

Crypto.com Chain (CRO) has again seen another dip with -9.56% at $0.068, followed by REPO with -7.73% at $0.61 and DigiByte (DGB) with -7.16% at $0.013.

Will BTC maintain above $4,000 the whole week? Will Craig "Faketoshi" Wright's legal issue and his decision to leave the Twitter-verse have an impact on Bitcoin SV's price? Stick with Chepicap to find out.

Why Suicide is Not an Option

Leave a comment

Why suicide is the ultimate denial to God

Written by GodLife on 16/08/2016
Series: Weekly Devotional
Tags: Betrayal, Depression, Failure, Hope, Purpose, Suicide
Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself.

Matthew 27:5
Life can sometimes feel hopeless. Maybe you are going through the death of a loved one, a permanent disability, failure or betrayal. You’re not alone.

Do not choose Judas’ path of ending his own life with suicide. Instead, read on to see how some of God’s people have responded to these feelings rather than suicide:

1.Betrayal: David
David, the “man after God’s own heart,” was running away from King Saul, whom he had served. He fled to Israel’s enemies and they betrayed him, taking his family captive. Even David’s trusted followers began to turn on him: “David, too, was in anguish. Some of his men talked about stoning him because they were so bitter about their families being taken.” Who else was left at this point? “But David took comfort in the Eternal One, his True God” (1 Samuel 30:6). With God, David had stood against impossible odds before. (See 1 Samuel 17)

2. Loss: Job
Because of the devil’s attack, Job lost everything: his riches, his family… even his health. “Why does God let me live when life is miserable and so bitter? I keep longing for death more than I would seek a valuable treasure. Nothing could make me happier than to be in the grave.” (Job 3:20-22). It’s hard to imagine Job’s suffering. But he came to realize how unwise these words had been: “I have said things that I did not understand, things too great for me, which I did not know.” (Job 42:3)

3. Hopelessness: Paul
Paul was the fearless missionary (Acts 21:13) who sang in prison (Acts 16:25) and wrote part of the New Testament. He once admitted, “We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it” (2 Corinthians 1:8).

More understanding may not change how you feel, but don’t trust your emotions. For a child of God, life is never hopeless. How can you really say you trust God with your eternity if you don't trust Him now? All of these men suffered greatly, but God had a greater plan for their lives on earth which they fulfilled. Please read 2 Corinthians 4:1 through 6:1. This is where Paul reveals this plan, and how it includes you

Pray this week:
Oh, God, I may be hurting so much right now, but I commit to trusting you no matter what. Your love for me is so great that you suffered worse for me. You have total knowledge and power. Your plan for my life is bigger than what I am going through, so I believe you will bring me through it.

Please reach out to us immediately, by responding to this message, if you need help now! Depression is serious but we have someone who will be happy to pray with you and can offer help.

Bitcoin Bottom? Two Strong Signs of a Crypto Market Trend Reversal

Bitcoin Bottom? Two Strong Signs of a Crypto Market Trend Reversal

Bitcoin Bottom? Two Strong Signs of a Crypto Market Trend Reversal

This past weekend the cryptocurrency market enjoyed a spectacular rally, reaching almost $140 billion in value. Leading crypto asset Bitcoin (BTC) soared past the critical $4,000 resistance level that has been holding it down for months, prompting many to ask – is the bottom in for Bitcoin?
 

Two crypto enthusiasts on Twitter have pointed out compelling arguments as to why they believe the bottom could be in for Bitcoin and the crypto market’s year-long bear run might be over.

 

High Volume

Crypto investor and creator of Twitter tipping app tippin.me, Kevin Rooke, recently posted a tweet detailing the huge increase in BTC’s daily exchange volume.
 

“Volume has increased by ~150% in the last 5 months,” he points out in the tweet. That’s the highest that Bitcoin’s daily exchange volume has been in over a year and the majority of the increases have been this month. In fact, Bitcoin’s daily exchange volume has exceeded $10 billion only nine times in the past year. “5 of those days have been in March 2019,” the tweet continues.

Last night’s massive injection of volume and the resulting rally that pushed BTC above $4,000 certainly backs up Rooke’s assertions. This is the second time in two days that BTC has tested and surpassed $4,000. A third test and break above will indicate a confirmed trend reversal and open up $4,850 as the next upside target.
 

Gold Chart Comparisons

Comparisons between Bitcoin and Gold are nothing new, with many crypto investors dubbing BTC “digital gold” over the years. However, Twitter user @CabSav9 recently made and an even more telling comparison between the two assets.
 

When comparing Bitcoin and the long-term chart of Gold since its peak in the late ’70s and the resulting decade long bear market, the two graphs look shockingly similar. After it’s crash in the early ’80s, Gold took almost two decades to stabilize and begin accumulating value again. Bitcoin, by comparison, appears to have followed a similar pattern but over a much shorter timeline. This accelerated correction makes sense considering the speed at which assets can be traded nowadays and the increased pace of life in general.

 

If @cabsav9’s comparison is anything to go by, Bitcoin should begin to build a decent rally soon. In fact, if one were to redraw the chart to follow the Gold trend, BTC could be on $10,000 as early as June this year.
 

The truth is, if you looked hard enough you would probably find several charts that coincidentally follow similar trend patterns when adjusted for time. However, the fact that Gold and Bitcoin have so often been compared in the past makes for a strong argument.

 

Bitcoin is currently trading just above $4,000 and as Asian markets opened strong this morning, it looks set to make some further gains throughout the day.

Is A New Record On The Horizon For Bitcoin In 2021?

Is A New Record On The Horizon For Bitcoin In 2021?

Is A New Record On The Horizon For Bitcoin In 2021?

t seems like new predictions are already cropping up for Bitcoin in the crypto circle. Alec Ziupsnys, the popular crypto trader and his team, have predicted that Bitcoin could see a new all time high in 2021.

 

They claim that the crypto could slowly start making its way up and break into an unprecedented bullish trend that places it at the top again and crosses its previously held record of all time high. He tweeted the following:

Rhythm Trader handler is Alec’s account on Twitter that be manages on behalf of him and his team. He cites the historical pattern of Bitcoin’s growth, claiming that history could repeat itself. That 2014 to 2016 market cycle is repeating itself again in the current time.

 

Alec also has an interesting theory l about how if BTC actually follows a multi-year cycle of boom and busts, it will just indicate that the top crypto has already bottomed.

 

These traders believe that if the crypto market cycles are seemingly ‘rhyming’, it could mean a consistent but slow upward move which would take the crypto to its peak in 2021.

 

The cryptocurrency enthusiast, and massive believer in Bitcoin over centralized financial institutions, further added that if BTC truly follows a multi-year cycle of boom and bust, the likelihood exists that the world number one cryptocurrency has already bottomed.

 

He had previously tweeted:

Alec has a firm conviction that the price of Bitcoin is going upstairs, and it will reach a new high in the year 2021.

Which Apostle Are You Most Like?

Leave a comment

This is what Jesus' ministry meant to the people with whom He spent the most time.

Written by GodLife on 12/03/2019
Series: Weekly Devotional
Tags: Mission, Discipleship, Leadership, Evangelism, Witness
…uneducated, common men…” [who] “…had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:13
If you’ve seen paintings of the Apostles, they might have given you a limited idea about Jesus’ followers. The earliest disciples were unique individuals. Very human, they had no halos and were prone to the same kinds of mistakes we make. A fresh look at them might even make you find yourself identifying with a few of them. Let’s take a quick tour of their stories. Which of them sounds most like you as we read more about them?

The earliest followers: Andrew, Philip and Nathanael
Like his mentor John the Baptist, Andrew made it his purpose to get his brother Simon to Jesus (John 1:40-42). Jesus then went looking for Philip, and Philip’s first recorded act was to find his friend, Nathanael, introducing him to Christ (John 1:43-46). Nathanael was initially doubtful—until Jesus revealed that He had known him and been able to see him even before meeting him (John 1:46-51). 

Were you easy to convince, like Andrew? Do you sense God sought you out, like Philip? Or did something have to happen in your life to convince you like Nathanael? Have you been eager to start introducing others to Jesus? Consider what Jesus told the Apostles: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit…” (John 15:16). Jesus had a purpose for picking each one.

The inner circle: Peter, James and John
John was probably the other disciple of John the Baptist mentioned with Andrew in John 1:35-37. We can easily imagine him introducing his brother James to Jesus. Together, they left their fishing business to follow Jesus (Luke 5:10, Mark 10:28). Then, Peter, James and John were invited to witness some of the most amazing miracles of Jesus’ ministry, including raising Jairus’ daughter from the dead (Mark 5:35-42) and the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8). Have you ever wondered why Peter, James and John got special treatment? Maybe it had something to do with the unique mission for which each had been selected:

James and his brother John were nicknamed “Sons of Thunder” by Jesus. Before knowing Him better, they asked Jesus to call down fire from heaven to destroy a village that wouldn’t receive their message (Luke 9:54). James was the first of the Apostles to suffer martyrdom. Acts tells us that Herod “…killed James the brother of John with the sword” (Acts 12:2).
Jesus renamed Simon, “Peter” (meaning “a stone”), after getting him to declare to the others Who Jesus was, affirming that God the Father revealed it to him (Matthew 16:13-19). Then, He immediately had to rebuke Peter as Satan had prompted him to tempt Jesus to avoid the cross (Matthew 16:23). Jesus established Peter’s confession as a key starting point for the early disciples. Peter’s sermon at Pentecost launched the Jerusalem Church (Acts 2:14-41). Then, he became first to bring the gospel to the gentiles when Cornelius the Centurion believed his message (Acts 10:34-48). Although he had failed in denying that he knew Jesus, Jesus tenderly restored him and asked him to take care of His sheep (John 21:15-22).
John, the other “Son of Thunder,” had schemed with James and their mother to get Jesus to promise them special positions in His future Kingdom (Matthew 20:20-24). But when he wrote his Gospel, in looking back on His memories of Jesus’ ministry in His Gospel, he was satisfied just being “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 20:2). He said he wrote so that his readers would “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31) He and Jesus’ mother were at the foot of the cross as Jesus died, and He committed the care of Mary to John (John 19:26-27).
What mission might God be preparing you for? How can you know for sure? If you haven’t seen yourself in these first six disciples, be sure to read next week’s article. As we’ll see, following Jesus requires a lot of heart examination and prayer. We may tend to think the pressure the early Apostles felt from the surrounding world was unique to their day and time, but Jesus’ urgings about preparation are as suitable to us in our day as they were to them. Why not begin a study of the Apostles’ lives and mission as a way to re-energize your walk with Jesus?

Pray this week:
God, will you make me a real disciple? Help me sincerely follow You as the Apostles did.

Have you read the Gospel of John?

Bitcoin Stuck in a Rut and in Dire Need of a Break Out

Leave a comment

Bitcoin – Stuck in a Rut and in Dire Need of a Break Out

Bitcoin – Stuck in a Rut and in Dire Need of a Break Out

Bitcoin is in the green early but continues to struggle to break out from the current rut. A sell-off could be on the cards if Bitcoin doesn’t make a move soon.

Bitcoin rose by just 0.07% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 0.2% fall from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $3,948.3.

A choppy start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from a morning low $3,929.9 to a morning high $3,990.5 before easing back. Holding above the first major support level at $3,923.33, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $3,970.83.

Through the early afternoon, there was another spell of volatility. Bitcoin slid to an intraday low $3,869.3 before striking an intraday high $4,004.0.

Bitcoin tumbled back through the first major support level at $3,923.33 and second major support level at $3,900.47. The bounce back saw Bitcoin break back through the first major resistance level at $3,970.83 and second major resistance level at $3,995.47 before sliding back.

Range-bound through the rest of the day, Bitcoin failed to break back through the major resistance levels. For the bulls, a hold above the major support levels through the day was positive. Failing to hold onto $4,000 levels on the day continues to be a red flag.

Elsewhere

Across the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed bag for the majors. Stellar’s Lumen and Binance led the way down with losses of 1.9% and 1.24% respectively. On the Upside, Bitcoin Cash ABC and Litecoin were the front runners, gaining 1.61% and 1.02% respectively.

While Stellar’s Lumen led the way down on Thursday, it was leading the way through the current week. In spite of Thursday’s pullback, Stellar’s Lumen was up 6.03% Monday through Thursday.

Newfound love for Stellar’s Lumen was attributed by some to a change to Stellar Lumen’s logo. Either way, 7 consecutive days in the green before Thursday’s pullback has been impressive. For the current month, Stellar’s Lumen is up by 26%.

Binance is the only major to have outperformed Stellar’s Lumen in March. 5 consecutive weeks in the green has given Binance a 45% jump for the current month. Unlikely Stellar’s Lumen, however, the Binance Launchpad platform can be attributed to its recent bull-run.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.28% to $3,959.5. Moves through the early morning saw Bitcoin rise from a morning low $3,948.4 to a high $3,970.0 before easing back. The day’s major support and resistance levels were left untested early on.

For the day ahead

A hold above $3,940 levels through the morning would support a run at $4,000 levels before any pullback. Barring a broad-based market rally, we would expect the first major resistance level at $4,011.77 to pin back more material gains on the day. Bitcoin would need support from the broader market to break through to $4,000 levels. Bitcoin could slide to sub-$3,500 should it continue struggle to break out from $4,000.

Failure to hold above $3,940 levels could see Bitcoin fall to $3,800 levels to test the first major support level at $3,877.07 before any recovery. Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, we would expect Bitcoin to steer clear of the second major support level at $3,805.83. A broad-based sell-off could see Bitcoin fall through the second major support level to $3,700 levels before any recovery.

Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies Test Crucial Supports

Leave a comment

Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies Test Crucial Supports

Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies Test Crucial Supports

Before Bitcoin can hit the target price most cryptocurrency analysts have predicted, a lot of ups and downs will be involved. For starter’s, its price trend which has revolved around the $3,800 and $3,900 levels may be one way that these predictions will be attained. However, yesterday March 11, the virtual asset declined below the $3,900 and $3,850 supports.
 

Bitcoin May Have Revolved Around its Price Level for Too Long

Many may assume that the most popular virtual currency has revolved around its current price level for too long, while others may be thankful that it is where it is instead of declining lower than $3,000. Yesterday, Bitcoin found support around $3,825 before rebounding to $3,850. As at press time, it is trading at $3,918 and it may retest a resistance of $3,980 and $4,000.
 

As is usually the case, other virtual currencies in the market were affected by this price volatility. Ethereum, for instance, which is currently priced at $134.64 traded below the $132 support, yesterday. It could be purchased at a price that is slightly higher than $130. The asset could test resistance levels of $135 and $136, for it to move onwards.

 

XRP’s Price Increments After Finding Support at $0.306

The same can be said about Ripple’s XRP, the third most popular virtual currency based on its market cap. The asset was sold for less than $0.310 and tested its support at $0.306 before correcting and trading above $0.308. It is also worthy to note that XRP, like the first other 10 cryptocurrencies asides from Bitcoin cash is slightly bearish. Its price as at the time of press is $0.311 which may likely draw in more buyers.
 

EOS is another virtual currency that is worth mentioning and it is ranked fifth on Coinmarketcap’s platform. Its price of $3.66 is expected to increment and test the resistance of $3.70. Hours ago, it found its support level at 3.50, before breaking beyond $3.55 to the 3.60 level which it is valued at.

 

Bitcoin Cash’s Price Increments and May Test Resistance of $132

Bitcoin cash which is currently the sixth most popular cryptocurrency today by its market capitalization is valued at $128. Yesterday, it has declined below the $128 support to rade at around $126. Consequently, predictions have been made that the asset may correct itself to trade as high as $130 to $132.
 

These market prices may be on an hourly basis, but it sets the trend of what is to come in the near future. Many like Tim Draper have predicted that its price will gradually increment and $8,000 is what can be expected this year. Others have chosen to base their predictions on two to three years from now and in the long run.

How Does it Work?

Leave a comment

Jesus said, "I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it" (Matthew 16:18). But how is Jesus building His Church?

Series: New Believers Guide

So how does the Church work? Jesus said, "I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it" (Matthew 16:18). But how is Jesus building His Church? Ephesians 4:16 tells us the answer: "As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow." Did you know that you are meant to play a crucial part in God’s family?

"They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42

Don't Miss Out!
Imagine for a moment a young boy who never wanted anything to do with his family. He never came out for family dinner, but just ran in his room when he got home from school. He never did any chores around the house, refused to clean his room, and pushed his brother whenever he saw him. In addition, this boy had it in him to become a great soccer player, but he never let his dad teach him how to play. Think of all that child would miss out on! Not to mention how the family would suffer as well.

"Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart." Acts 2:46

Just Like a Family, the Church has a Give-and-Take Relationship
— like how people need the oxygen trees give off and trees need the carbon dioxide people breathe out. Just the same, you need the Church, and the church also needs you. Look at mutual benefits of being in a church:

You are Protected
Just as a house keeps people protected from harm, so God's house keeps Christians safe from false teaching. God gave this instruction to pastors: "So guard yourselves and God's people. Feed and shepherd God's flock — his church, purchased with his own blood — over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as elders" (Acts 20:28).

You are Taught How to Follow Jesus
1 Peter 2:2-3 says, "Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness." Newborns can’t feed themselves; they need someone to help them. Pastors and teachers help you grow as a Christian as they feed you the spiritual food of the Bible and help you know God better.

You Learn How to Love Your Family
Jesus said, "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples" (John 13:34-35). Being part of a church family helps you learn how to love others and their differences and show the love of Jesus to the world.

You Discover and Use Your Gifts
Have you ever had someone tell you that you are good at something you were unaware of? God has given you spiritual gifts, and your church family can help you discover them and learn how to use them. The Bible says, "Since you want spiritual gifts very much, seek most of all to have the gifts that help the church grow stronger" (1 Corinthians 14:12). As you use your gifts, the church is strengthened and grows.

You Need the Church and the Church Needs You
What are the gifts God has given you to build His Church? Maybe you haven't discovered them yet. As you join a spiritual family, you grow as a Christian and help the whole body of Christ to grow as well.

"Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Are you enjoying being loved and accepted by your local church family? If so, what do you appreciate most about your church?
