AVOID ANGER : IT DESTROYS

 


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm.

Psalms 37:8 NLT

And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,"   Ephesians 4:26 NLT

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

James 1:19 NLT

Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

James 1:20 NLT

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT Bible 

Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

Proverbs 19:11 NLT Bible 

But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell .Matthew 5:22 NLT

People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Proverbs 14:29 NLT

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

Proverbs 15:1 NLT

Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool"

.Ecclesiastes 7:9 NLT

Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.

Proverbs 29:11 NLT

Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

Proverbs 16:32 NLT

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord .

Romans 12:19 NLT

But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.

Colossians 3:8 NLT

Don’t befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people,

Proverbs 22:24 NLT

People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord .

Proverbs 19:3 NLT

An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin.

Proverbs 29:22 NLTNLT

It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

Proverbs 21:9 NLT

 Reading the psalms loud and praise worship sessions  especially among other believers melts anger ( Psalm 34:1)  . In our daily prayers we should ask the Lord for the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in our  lives  and meditate on Galatians 5:22 

" But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. "

Prayer ; Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power for emotional stability in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
