Anger (2)


Friday 9th November 2018



'Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good.' Romans 12:9 NCV



Anger is not necessarily a bad emotion. God himself gets angry. The Bible says, 'The Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice' (1 Kings 11:9 NKJV). But it needs to be the right kind of anger: righteous anger.
The Bible says: 'Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good' (Romans 12:9 NCV). When we become aware of 'evil' happening in the world, we're not supposed to ignore it or be indifferent about it. We should be against it, and be committed to bringing good. Aristotle once said: 'Anybody can become angry; that's easy. But to be angry with the right person...to the right degree...at the right time...for the right purpose, and in the right way ...that's not easy.' But it's possible. Jesus experienced righteous anger. When people questioned whether he should be healing on the Sabbath, he 'was angry as he looked at the people, and he felt very sad because they were stubborn. Then he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held out his hand and it was healed' (Mark 3:5 NCV). Jesus' anger led to change and to good - the man was healed.
There are many things that we should get angry about - injustice, oppression, racism, slavery, poverty, greed. But that anger needs to be the fuel of real change.

So what now? What things stir up righteous anger in you? Find a way to make a stand, however big or small, and bring some good into the situation.

Jesus also expressed anger when He chased the people who were buying and selling in the temple.Here he was teaching a valuable lesson that we should honour and show respect to the house of God .We should hate what is wrong and cleave to what is right .

When i get angry i express it to much sometimes,, i pray for the wisdom and self control to come into my life, spiritual englightement, that i read Bible and books and learn and get peace of God and knowledge and fight for what i need to fight and leave to God, for what He needs to fight in Jesus name. Not by my might, nor by my power but by the spirit of the Lord.
Holy anger, when it grabs me, i ask for vengeance and recompense of God over the enemy, which is scriptural. Thief must repay seven times. I do it in prayer.....
Anyone who wants to comment my post with advices, ask yourself, do you also need that advice....the word of the Lord is twoedged sword. Blood of Jesus......

All vengeance belongs to God. He will fight our battles for us for the weapon of our warfare is not carnal.But it is mighty to the pulling down of strong hold.Let us humble ourselves and practice love and forgiveness and the Father who seeth in secret will reward us openly .BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD.Heavenly Father meek and mild grant us your peace defend us from those who would want to hurt us physically,emotionally or psychologically as we journey on the Christian pathway in Jesus,Name Amen.
