THE BANDIT CALLED ANGER (Anger Could Cost You Something Very Precious)

Pastor Chris

TO THE BIBLE
Ecclesiastes 7:9 NIRV “Don’t become angry quickly. Anger lives in the hearts of foolish people.”

LET’S TALK
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai and saw the people worshipping a golden calf, which they had constructed by themselves, he was enraged. Right there, he smashed to pieces the tablets of the law engraved by God’s finger (Exodus 32:19). Moses had to engrave another one all by himself, as a punishment. On another occasion, as the children of Israel sojourned in the wilderness, they suddenly ganged up against Moses and Aaron because there was no water for them to drink.

The Lord then instructed Moses to assemble the congregation, and tell the rock before their eyes to bring forth water for them to drink.

Moses, obviously angry at the people’s outburst, charged and rebuked them, tagging them rebels! In a fit of rage, he turned and struck the rock instead of speaking to it as the Lord had instructed; in fact, he struck it twice (Numbers 20:11).

Water came out for the people to drink, but Moses’ action displeased the Lord. In as much as Moses was referred to as “…a quietly humble man, more so than anyone living on Earth” (Numbers 12:3 MSG), he allowed anger affect his ministry and walk with God, such that he wasn’t allowed to lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land as the Lord had intended. He certainly was faithful in the administration of all God’s house (Hebrews 3:5), yet anger was his undoing.

Anger is a quick destroyer. Don’t even try to “tame” it; eschew it. If you’ve been termed or described as someone who’s quick to get angry, get before the Lord in prayer, and give yourself to the Word in meditation. There’re people who won’t fulfil their calling, as it has happened in history, because of anger. And in such cases, what God does is to have another plan.

Don’t let it happen to you

Speak
Dear Father, I delight myself in your Word and to do your will. Your Word is in my heart, causing me to walk in righteousness and fulfil my destiny in you. I’ll not give myself to anger, rage or fury, for my desire is to please you in all things, as I live by your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
