ANGER

Text : Ecclesiastes  7:9  

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools._ 

According to English dictionary, Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility or antagonism towards someone or something, usually combined with an urge to harm.  Anger is an emotional expression that every human being expresses at varying degrees. However, what get people into problem is not the anger itself but inability to control the anger (Self control).

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.Proverbs  16:32  

The Basic Bible English version put the text this way: "Be not quick to let your spirit be angry; because wrath is in the heart of the foolish"

It is the Inability to control anger that makes a man a fool, and not the anger in itself.  If you freely allow the expression of anger as occassion demands, then you have allowed it to rest in your bossom. But if you are able to control it, then you will be a wise man.  The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over transgression. Prov.  19:11.

Anger often than not comes with an urge to harm or hurt someone or something in words or action. Hence, the scripture warned us not to sin when we are angry.  "Even if you are angry, you must not let that cause you to do anything wrong. Do not let yourself continue to be angry after sunset"(Ephesians  4:26, Easyenglish). We must control outburst expression of anger, as it would always lead to sin. 

We need to ask the Lord for grace in order to dispel anger promptly from our bossom. We must not allow it to rest there at all.

 *Anger is a destroyer, and the first person it  destroys is the one who expresses it. Please let us receive GRACE to be able to control self and desist from Anger..* 

Bible reading: Numbers 20:1-13

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
