COOL YOUR TEMPER
Proverbs 14:29 - People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness. (NLT)
Read: Ecclesiastes 7:9; James 1:19-20
A man received a text message from his neighbour: "Sorry, whenever you are not home, I use your wife day and night. I am confessing this because I am feeling very guilty." Immediately after reading the text, the man shot his wife dead. A few minutes later, he received another message: "Sorry, a spelling mistake. I meant WiFi, not Wife."
While this may sound illusory, it is important to be careful how you react when situations arise. As seen in the Bible reading, don't be quick to get angry, for anger labels you as a fool and opens the door to other sins. Therefore, always look before you leap. Be sure to find out the other person's version of events and allow yourself room to think before you respond.
The man killed his innocent wife because of a spelling error and a lack of patience. Examine yourself to see if you are doing something similar to this man but in another form. For example, swearing in times of anger can destroy the offender and eventually yourself. As a parent, you should also cease cursing your children when provoked, for you could ruin their destinies.
Beloved, let today's story serve as a caution. Always remember that patience is a virtue, and be slow to anger. When sending a message, be very sure to proofread it so you don't cause harm. Conclusively, may I invite you to accept Jesus if you haven't done so? Let Him wash away your sins, anger, and excesses. Sign up for Him now!
PRAYER
Hymn: I Must Tell Jesus — Elisha A. Hoffman (1894)
1. The spirit of anger and impatience in me; die!
2. Every rage of the wicked against me and my salvation; expire!
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Father, destroy every burden in my life and give me peace that lasts forever.
2. Lord Jesus, please help me, my family, and the Church to make it to eternity.
3. Every barrier that is standing between me and those that will help me to the top. Be broken now by fire.
THE HOLY SPIRIT SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH. CALL ON HIM!
