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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
