Hold your anger
Hold your anger
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. (Ephesians 4:31) [Ref. reading: Ephesians 4:21-32]
Oh yes, I am convinced that the battle of the ages still rages. We must learn how to deal with our anger! Because, we need to understand that ANGER is one letter short of DANGER.
Dangerous anger made Cain kill Abel.
Dangerous anger made Saul lose his throne.
Dangerous anger made Moses smite the rock.
When anger is not met with a biblical solution you can end up killing yourself. Anger is a killer. If it does not kill you - physically - it gets you - emotionally - but the ultimate end is to kill you - spiritually.
FIRST TYPE OF ANGER IS -- HIDEOUS ANGER
In Ephesians 4:31, Paul uses the word thumos. This word is translated "rage". It literally describes a blazing fire or wildfire.
HIDEOUS ANGER (RAGE) is a harmful kind of anger that spreads like wildfire consuming everything in its path.
Did you hear what I said? HIDEOUS ANGER (RAGE) is called a WILDFIRE.
When you lose your temper you are losing so much more than just your temper. What can I lose, Maurice?
LOSE YOUR JOB -- Watch me now: NOBODY wants to work alongside SOMEBODY who can’t get along with ANYBODY.
LOSE YOUR FRIENDS -- Watch me now: NOBODY wants to be a friend with SOMEBODY who can’t get along with ANYBODY.
LOSE YOUR JOY -- Watch me now: God will not give ANYBODY his joy so you can act like a NOBODY in front of EVERYBODY.
LOSE YOUR HEALTH -- Watch me now: Your BODY can’t endure the actions of a BUSYBODY. Don’t you know that anger hurts your BODY more than it does ANYBODY else.
HATE HURTS THE HATER MORE THAN THE HATED.
When you have God in your life, you can not GO where you want to GO, DO what your flesh wants to DO, and SAY what you used to SAY. Why? Because, God specializes in dirty souls
Oh yes, God is better than:
Tide - Because He is the original Stain Detective!
Clorox - Because He is the original Whitening Formula!
Oh yes, He is FAB - because He is FABULOUS
He is ALL - because He is my ALL & ALL.
He is WISK - because he is quicker than "hurry up".
He is DYNAMO - because the God I serve is DYNAMITE.
I believe I need to remind you that God is a source of life not death.
God is a source of joy not sorrow. God is source of light not darkness.
Let me close by telling you that you better check yourself before you wreck yourself!
Too much anger is bad for your spiritual consumption!
