Checking into God's Presence... Anger is a form of the disease, and it is resident in every individual. Dealing with anger comes from how close you are to the instructions of God. Ephesians 4: 26-27 gave a clear indication of the mind of God concerning offence. "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Proverbs 29:11, too has something to say: "Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end." This year, what do you need to know so you can deal with anger, and without venturing into unnecessary retaliation? Christ espoused an intrinsic beauty bearing the hallmark of divine revelation on this subject in Matthew's book, chapter 18: verses 21-22. It states- "then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven. What then are you known for when it comes to anger? Do you know you are in some forms of darkness if you delve in and out of anger and cannot forgive your neighbour? And what has offence taken away from you, and what value can you now place on forgiveness? Matthew 7: 20 states "by their fruits we shall know them". Therefore, we must separate ourselves from the darkness instituted due to anger and lack of forgiveness and allow ourselves to come into the light the light of God. In this new year, l therefore, prays that heaven shall take away anger and its tendencies from our vicinity through the grace of our Lord. And instead, God will grant us the ability to forgive our neighbours as and whenever we feel wronged. May the presence of God go with us this year, and allow His hand of love to comfort us with joy, peace, victory, riches, healing and long life so that God’s glory can shine supreme in our lives in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
