Handling Anger

Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life. Ephesians 4:26‭-‬27 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/eph.4.26-27.MSG

We need to be aware that certain behaviours open doors to the spirit world. Opening good doors are great but opening others, not only, subject us to a life we would not wish for but also subjects all our forebears as well.

I remember well a deathbed scene in the life of a dear friend of mine. He had a problem with bitterness towards certain people in his life for the wrong way they had treated him. What I saw was the embodiment of the spirit of bitterness, it was no longer the friend I knew.

Anger can lead to murder, easily. Anger is like dynamite and needs to be handled with care. The above scriptures tell us to be 'angry but not sin'. (V.26)

Sin opens doors. Keep those doors shut! Amen!
