BE ANGRY AND SIN NOT!

Text : Ephesians 4:26

"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath.(NKJ)

When you get angry, the tendency to commit sin is very high. Your goal then should be that you should get rid of anger. By putting it off, it looses its grip over you. Colossians 3:8 says that "you yourselves are to put off anger..."

You have the sole responsibility of putting off anger. Putting off anger can mean to violently strip it, disarm it, or despoil it. When anger has been stripped of its power in your life, it will no longer drive you to sin. It is only at this point you can be angry and sin not.

When the power of anger has been disarmed in your life, then you will receive grace not to allow the sun to go down on your wrath. (Ephesians 4:27).

When you allow the sun to go down on your wrath, that means the anger has gotten hold of you for too long a time. The grip that anger or wrath has on you goes a long way in determining the duration of the anger whenever you are in session. 

You must therefore be careful not to allow the sun to go down on your wrath, as this will always give a foothold to the devil. anger gives a foothold to the devil.(Ephesians 4:27).

An uncontrolled anger will always give a foothold to the devil in your life. You must watch it, lest the devil take hold of your whole life.

Bible  Reading: Numbers 20:1-12.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God,  please deliver me from the strong hold of anger in Jesus name.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
