April 29th
It’s a “Get Rid Of Your Anger” Day.
LORD, HELP US TO HAVE A FORGIVING HEART SO THAT OUR ANGER AND HURT DOESN’T BECOME OUR SIN. AMEN.
The Apostle Paul states this about “ANGER”…“don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:26, 27 NLT)
We are living in a society where folk are just angry. Angry because we are dealing with some hurt. We are dealing with childhood hurts such as mental, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Our parents, siblings and friends hurt us. We are dealing with relationship hurts, peer hurts, workplace hurts, societal hurts (racism and discrimination), friendship and family hurts and because we hurt, we have a tendency to hurt others. Yes, “Hurt People, Hurt People”.
Anger is a natural part of being human and can be positive or negative. That’s why Paul says don’t sin by letting your anger control you. When your anger controls you, you do foolish things. You do things that can cause regret and even cause you to get arrested. Anger causes health problems such as heart conditions, diabetes, and high blood pressure just to name a few. Yes, we are hurt people, but Paul says don’t let the hurt/anger control you; don’t go to bed with that anger because then it becomes a spirit of revenge and not forgiveness. It becomes sin, and the devil will have control of your mindset and heart. This is the situation of young black males who are attacking and killing each other. I believe the only thing that can change this is the renewing of the minds and hearts of people. We must replace our hurt and anger with forgiveness and love.
Paul also says to us “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:2 NLT)
So beloved my message today is this: As you ask for forgiveness you must forgive. Seek Gods love to get rid of your hurt and anger. Remember: “Anger is just one letter short of Danger.” Now, who hurt you? What are you angry about?
