24/7 DOXA Content, 18th November-CONQUERING ANGER
_____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: Ephesians 4:26,27►► “Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life.”~《MSG》 ______________________________________
GRACIOUS greetings, Cherished one. The presence of temptation is not sin but when you succumb or fall into it. So our focal text reads that _” you do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge.”_ In other words, anger will present itself, but don’t succumb to it. It is only when you “succumb” to the seed that you bear its fruits. Almost everyone has become angry at someone or something before. So how are you likely to sin when you become angry? This can happen in two basic ways. One, with your mouth (in words); and two, in your actions.
Thus, in your moment of anger, you may be tempted to sin through your words, thoughts and actions. So the Bible says he who bridle his tongue will have peace. Therefore in times of anger, do well to control your tongue and words. As a child of God, your words must be seasoned with salt, not pepper. Be very mindful of your words when you are angry. It is mostly advisable to sometimes remain silent when angry. Because, anger can fuel your words for contention, violence or strife.
Don’t forget God’s word in the moment of anger. Also, stay away from people and environments which always fuel anger in you. Unnecessary debates and arguments should not be your lifestyle. Apostle Paul admonished the young man Timothy _”But reject foolish and ignorant controversies because you know they breed infighting” (2 Timothy 2:23)._ *Cherished one, conquer anger; don’t let it conquer you. Yes, you can because the Spirit is your helper.* The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
