BE ANGRY!

Text : Ephesians 4:26

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

 *Anger in itself may not be a sin, it only produces sin when it is not under control.* 

Anger is an emotional expression that often get hold of his victim, hence it often leads to sin. But if you can control this emotion, you will not only be a wise person, but you would have saved yourself from many unwarranted hurts and sorrows.

The scripture instructed you not to be hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes  7:9). This verse also talks about your control over Anger. 

Apostle Paul admonished the brethren in the church of Ephesus to be angry and not to sin. This is because when you allow anger to be expressed freely, it will always lead you to sin.

You are told to always control your anger so as not to sin while expressing this emotional expression .
New Living Translation  version of the study text renders it thus:  *"And don't sin by letting anger control you Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry"* 

Just as you will not be stark naked in an open space because you were drenched under a heavy down pour, so also you must not put off your control of anger simply because you feel like getting angry at any point in time. 
You must always control it!

So, *the problem in getting angry is not the anger in itself, but the inability to control it.* 

While so many have been mastered by their anger, only very few have mastered their anger.

 *Don't ever allow your anger to control you, rather you must learn to always be in charge of your anger.* 

Anyone who has been caught in the web of incessant anger and wrath can be compared to a mad fellow. Infact, such one is said to be having mental illness or disease.

I used to experience such madness in my life before. It took a sincere and loving confrontation for me to be totally set free. This did not happen without prayers and careful meditation in the word.

If you are also caught  up in this web, you must  sincerely confront yourself, acknolwedge this problem and truly desire a change in your life.

Having anger problem is so bad that if you are confronted with it, you even get angry the more.

I pray that the Lord will break you loose from the hold of anger and wrath in Jesus name.
 
Bible  Reading:Numbers 20:1-12

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

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

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
