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.

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...
