TOPIC: GET RID OF ANGER
OCTOBER Monday 15th
TEXT: Matthew 5: 17-25
KEY VERSE: Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4: 26-27
Anger is a natural feeling of pain and displeasure arising from the heart against a person for a bad action or against a bad circumstance. Anger has a high tendency of causing people to sin and of defiling a holy person. The emotion of anger seeks to take over the reasoning and demands immediate action. Be careful of what thoughts you allow into your mind, what words you allow through your mouth and what action you take when you are angry. Ask yourself the following questions when you are angry: Am I right to be angry at this person or circumstance? Am I not truly at fault? Am I not misunderstanding issues here? Have I gathered sufficient facts on this matter? Is this person actually wrong? Is this circumstance actually unfavourable? You need these self-examining questions because many decisions and actions taken in anger prove foolish later.
If you are justified for your anger because the person has actually provoked you or the situation truly warrants your anger, the scripture gives the next instruction: “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” Ephesians 4: 26. That means do not allow a state of prolonged anger in your heart because Satan will take over and work death by it. Seek to resolve the issue quickly through scriptural rebuke, correction and righteous instruction. Settle with your opponent quickly, where possible and try to follow peace with all men everywhere, every time. Take the person or circumstance to God for His intervention, advice and comfort. If you have problem with anger seek the face of God in sincere and constant prayer for your salvation, sanctification and holiness. Be good at forgiveness. Commit everyone who offends you to God and ask Him for the grace to forgive them. God will give you sufficient grace daily for righteous and holy life.
Thought for the day: Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools
Song for the day: Wash me O Lamb of God, wash me from sin
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 56-58; 1 Thessalonians 3
