Bible Reading: Proverbs 18:1; 22:24 , Psalm 37:8
Memory Verse: He who is slow to anger has great understanding [and profits from his self-control], But he who is quick-tempered exposes and exalts his foolishness [for all to see]. Proverbs 14:29 (AMP)
Anger is a negative emotion. Anger is one of the works of the flesh. If left uncontrolled, anger could give birth to some terrible losses and irredeemable pain. Recently, a lady cut off the manhood of her boyfriend in anger because he was cheating on her. A widely celebrated TV presenter was also stabbed to death recently by his sinner “side chick” in anger. In anger, some fathers have cursed the earth, and closed the heavens of their erring son, and of course, by the authority vested by God upon Parents, the son began to struggle to make ends meet.
Fathers, shall we be warned! You are accountable to God someday. In anger, Jacob pronounced the death of anyone caught with Laban’s idol not knowing that his beloved wife, Rachel, was the culprit (Gen. 31: 22-35). In anger, Barnabas left Apostle Paul and little or nothing was ever read of his ministerial exploits again. In anger, some wives have poisoned their husbands, and vice versa. In anger, some young adults left home angrily to stay with their sinner boyfriend or girlfriend who in turn destroyed their destiny. Haven’t you heard of people who in their angry state were hit by an oncoming vehicle because the anger blinded them from seeing the oncoming vehicle.
Bosses terminate people’s appointment without a query or considering that they are breadwinners of their families due to uncontrolled anger. There are people who are powerfully anointed as deliverance ministers or song ministers but have terrible anger spirit. Not until some so-called anointed ministers issue a curse or cause an havoc, they can never be pacified. They must surely have their own pound of flesh. Of what use is the grace of God upon your life without the virtue of self control? Friend, I hope you know that the anointing of God upon your life is not a surety that you will make heaven? The scripture says many will say unto God on that judgement day, we did mighty works in Your name, but He will deny them because they are workers of iniquity (Mat. 7: 21-23).
