THE DANGER IN REMAINING ANGRY

-
Many years ago my high school principal used to give us an advice any time school was going on a break for the holidays.

He would tell us that we should avoid anger because there is danger in anger. He would say the difference between anger and danger is the letter “D” and it stands for the devil!

How true that statement was and still is even today.

In God’s Word we are told in Ecclesiastes 7:9 (AMPC), “Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed, for anger and vexation lodge in the bosom of fools.”

God’s Word tells us here that those who get angry easily and quickly are fools.

The Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 18:7, “Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!”

The Lord Jesus is saying here that offenses must come in this world that we live in but woe unto anyone by whom the offense comes.

What does woe mean? According to the dictionary, woe means great sorrow or distress.

Other meanings of woe are misery, sorrow, distress, wretchedness, sadness, unhappiness, heartache, heartbreak, despondency, desolation, despair, dejection, depression, gloom, melancholy.

I know nobody wants to find himself or herself in such state of mind or situation. So it is clear that the Lord Jesus Christ is warning humans against creating offenses for others because of the consequence.

Dear friend, we must learn to overlook offenses and forgive those who offend us.

We must learn to pursue peace with all humans and holiness without which no person would ever see the Lord as stated in Hebrews 12:14.

There is just nothing in this world that is worth going to hell for.

Yes, people would offend you and you must ensure to resolve it with them. If you have not resolved the matter with your offender, then do not go off telling others because that would create bitterness in their hearts against YOUR offender who has done nothing to them.

In your relations with others, seek to speak words that edify the person and not defile the person.

This is the way of life Christians are commanded to live according to God’s Word in Hebrews 12:14.

You may say it is not easy to live through such injunction but I will tell you that behind every quarrel, crisis, problem, e.tc., there is an evil spirit and you as a child of the Most High God has authority over such evil spirit causing the problem.

All you have to do is give a command in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to the foul spirit to stop its manoeuvres and problems and the spirit would cease in its evil activities immediately and then you can reconcile with the person.

This is how a Christian must live always. The road to heaven is very narrow but with the Holy Spirit of God and the Word of God, we shall always overcome in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Powerful Name, Amen.

Gabriel Ama.

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

HOW DO YOU CONTROL VIOLENCE IN PEOPLE?

-
Hebrews 12:14 (AMPC)  “ Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration  and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.”   Dear people of God, I read sometime in December 2019 ago of a police inspector in Nigeria who shot and killed his colleague, a corporal, and the same shot injured another colleague, a deputy Superintendent of police after which the police inspector took his own life.   What could have led to such violence?   I also read of another unfortunate story of a lady killed December 25, 2019, Christmas Day, by her husband who had beaten her to a coma and then ran away after discovering what he had done. The police have since found and arrested him.   Reports have it that the man was fond of beating his late wife at the slightest provocation, which has eventually led to her death in this latest incident.   Again, what could have caused this incessant violence?   Medical experts claim that humans have 2 s...

GOD CANNOT VIOLATE HIS WORD

-
  Psalm 89:34  “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text in Psalm 89:34 is a profound statement by God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What this statement from God means is that there is nothing He has said in His Word that He will fail to perform. A sensible Christian who understands this will look for what God has said by careful, meditative study of God’s Word found only in the Holy Bible, thank God joyously for it, claim it and God will surely perform what His Word has stated. I make bold to say here that the Christian who does not study the Word of God in the Holy Bible to claim the promises therein is only cheating himself of herself. Jesus Christ in one of His divine visits to late Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin (while alive on earth) told him that there are many Christians who are sincere and living right but they do not get what they ask for in pra...
