Conquering Anger

“Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:” Ephesians 4:26
Anger is a temporary situation. Anger is a reaction, an emotional situation. A man that is quick to anger is a fool (Eccl. 7:8). It is dangerous to speak or act when angry because anger will disappear but what has been done or said cannot be reversed. Moses, a man called to deliver the people of Israel lost the opportunity to enter the Promised Land to anger; he spoke and acted wrongly because he was angry (Numbers 20:10-12). It is not wrong to get angry but it becomes a sin when your anger last a day. Anger is not always bad because you may need it to challenge a contrary situation; but you must always ask for God’s wisdom in handling the situation that gets you angry for by strength shall no man prevail (John 2:13-17).
To conquer anger, do the following:
1.Meditate on these scriptures and other scriptures related to anger: Ecc. 7:9, Prov. 14:17, Prov. 22:24, Math. 5:22, Eph 4:26.
2.Ask God to deliver you from the spirit of anger.
3.Be sensitive to situations that get you angry and ask for God’s grace to handle them.
4.When you are angry, do nothing except what you are sure is commanded by God.

You are blessed.
