DON'T BE A FOOL

Text : Ecclesiastes  7:9  

Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

If the bible says that anger rests in the bosom of fools, then we can safely say that anyone who easily throws off the handle (lose control of his emotions) is a fool.

Today, we shall be looking at a number of ways by which you can overcome this weakness, which often than not makes one appear as a fool and eventually leading one to sin.

Moses, the great deliverer of the nation of Israel once got angry with the Israelites to the point that he did not reverence the Lord before His people. This singular act of uncontrolled anger, made him to lose his passport into the promised land. 

 *Don't  ever justify your outburst of anger as a good reaction. Anger will never communicate anything right, rather it will always complicate the matter.* 

Moses reacted (in anger) to the ungrateful attitude of the Israelites, and this prevented him from entering into the land of promise.

One major way to overcome anger is to know that outburst of anger is a foolish medium of expression. Let this knowledge drive deep into your subconscious, then it will always help you control anger instead of anger controlling you. 

Secondly, pray about it. For many, their outburst of anger is simply a demonic operation. It's even possible, you inherited an uncontrollable anger from your bloodline. You need to ask God to deliver you from such. 

Lastly, be accountable. Be accountable for all your reactions to a friend or spouse. Learn to submit yourself to be corrected and rebuked for your unhealthy angry reactions at every point it shows up. 

Anyone who takes pride in his anger is simply taking pride in foolishness.


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...
