TOPIC: DAZHARIA SHAFFER: NEVER CONTEMPLATE SUICIDE
BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 188:1-18
1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

ODM for Yesterday Click Here – Tik Tok is a video-showing social media platform. Dazharia Shaffer, a tik lok favourite, who was known online as Bxbygirlldee, took her own life in February, 2021 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States at the tender age of 18. ODM Daily Today 17 November 2021 – DAZHARIA SHAFFER: NEVER CONTEMPLATE SUICIDE
She had more than 14 million followers on social media. Her father, Joseph Santiago (aka Raheem Alla and Rodney Andry) confirmed her death. Beside a montage of photos that captured daughter and father together, he wrote this, ” I Just want to thank everyone for their love and support for my daughter. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us and has gone to a better place. On a Gofundme page he added, “On February 8, my daugnter Dazharia has left us early and has been called up to fly with the angels.
She was my little best friend and I wasn’t prepared in no way to bury my child. She was so happy and would be so excited to see me when I come home from being on the road. I only wish she would have spoken to me about her stress and the thoughts of suicide.”
A day before her death, she posted a series of videos on her Instagram that were titled “Last Post”. Too bad, you would say. All Over the world, the rate of suicide has gone up and it continues to increase. Even in hitherto climes where suicides were never heard of, this is becoming a norm. Today, many people are taking their lives than ever before. In the United States, suicide is the 10 leading cause of death according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), claiming some 48,000 persons per year. During a 20-year period review (1999-2018), the rate of suicide increased to 35% from 10.5% per thousand.
In 2019, 0.6% of adults aged 18 and above reported that they had attempted suicide in the last one year. Stress and depression occasioned by many factors have been most implicated as leading causes of suicide. One fact of life is this: it is not a bed of roses. Jesus pointed this out when He said”
…In the world ye shall have tribulation”. He however didn’t end the statement there. He added, “Be ye of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). No matter how tough things may turn out to be in life, Suicide is never a way out. The Psalmist said in today’s word.
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD”. The LORD chastened me sore: but He hath not given me over to death (Vs.17-18). Hear again the title of Robert Schuller’s best seller, “Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do. Be strong, be tough against the barrage of this life.

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 2: Stand up for Jesus…
1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss:
from vict’ry unto vict’ry
his army he shall lead,
’til ev’ry foe is vanquished,
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict
in this his glorious day:
ye that are men now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own:
put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with pray’r;
where duty calls, or danger,
be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor’s song:
to him that overcometh
a crown of life shall be;
he with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.
