Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 42, Day 4: Wednesday, 18th October, 2023. TOPIC: Paul’s Admonition: Control Your Anger (4)

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

27 for anger gives a foothold to the devil. (NLT)

Blessed day for us all in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. Let me share some questions this morning, have you been in a situation where people criticized you for getting angry as a believer? They mocked you for being angry at their evil act against you or others? May i tell you today that, it’s not a sin to get angry at evil or opposition but uncontrolled anger is what becomes sin. Even our God gets angry, Jesus got angry, but it was controllable. When you’ve become a christian, after surrendering your life to God, you need to work on your anger, you need to be in control of your anger. Apostle Paul said uncontrolled anger lead to sin not controlled anger. The second part is to let your anger go off quickly. Don’t hold onto that anger, say your mind and release yourself from that situation. Anger should be for correction not for quarrelling. 

David said in Psalms 4:4,

“4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent.” (NLT)

We can get angry but it should be under our control. Speak what you don’t want, what you disagreed with and let it go. Uncontrolled anger is what leads to sin not anger itself. Put your anger under control and give the spirit a consistent place in your life.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
