BREAKING THE CYCLE OF NEAR- SUCCESS SYNDROME ( PT 1 )

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi

    “Your anger can never make things right in God’s sight.”  James 1:20.

“Don’t be in a hurry to go to court you might go down before your neighbours in shameful defeat.” Prov. 25:8 LB.

       Anger could be described as a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of opposition toward someone or something. Often brought about by real or imagined injury, rage, fury, wrath. Anger is a broad term that applies to various levels of emotion that may or may not be shown. Temper, could be descried as ‘the tendency to be easily angered.

     God’s Word Warns Us Not to Yield to Anger and Wrath. A lot of us are in very embarrassing situations in life today because of our inability to control our temper. Wives have abandoned marriages only to regret such actions because of intemperance. God would not tell you to do a thing when he has not given you the enablement to achieve the set task. Therefore, anger should not be given any room in our lives anymore. Failure to master anger could hinder the will of God from being done in our lives. “Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others it only leads to harm.” Psalm 37:8 LB.

  “Don’t be quick tempered, for anger is the friend of fools. Eccl. 7:9 LB

       Anger Exposes you to Satanic and demonic attacks. At the time when a man is angry his spiritual defense mechanism becomes weak thus rendering him vulnerable to evil attacks. “He that  is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city. Pro. 16:32 KJV.

     “A person without self-control is as defenseless, as a city with broken down walls. Pro. 25:28 LB.

     Pride and selfishness are the parents of anger: Usually when a person’s sense of pride is injured he or she becomes aggrieved and this leads to anger. Angry people need to ask the Lord to give them the spirit of humility and generosity. “Proud and haughty scorner  is his name, who deals in proud, wrath. Pro. 21:24. “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

     Ungodly anger leads to hardships and unnecessary sufferings.

Hot tempered persons are always in and out of one problem and another. “A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment”. Prov. 19:19. Ungodly anger often leads to unpleasant legal tussles with embarrassing court cases. “Do not bring hastily to court for what will you do in the end if your neighbour puts you to shame? Pro. 25:8

      Wise Men Control their temper because they know it leads to mistakes and even greater problems.   An example of this is seen in the book of Numbers 20: 7,8,10-12, and Psalm 106: 32:33. Moses’ outburst of anger caused him to lose the blessing and privilege of leading his people into the promised land. The Lord spoke unto Moses saying. Take the rod … and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes (the rebellious congregation), and it shall give forth his water … Moses … said unto them. Hear now, you rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand and with his rod he smote the rock twice and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank. And the lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron, because you believed Me not to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel. Therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them . Anger leads to near success syndrome.

As you read this , receive victory  over  anger and the near success syndrome in Jesus name.
