THIS IS WHY YOU MUST GET ANGRY
Ephesians 4:26-27
_”BE YE ANGRY, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil."_ (Emphasis added).
Generally, anger is viewed as a negative emotion. This is because with it many people have done more evils than one could possibly imagine.
However, when I came across that verse my perspective changed. God instructs us to be angry. Can you imagine that? Why does He say that?
The word "anger" in this case is “orgé” in Greek, refers to anger in the general context. The kind of anger that everyone can have. This is the kind of anger that God has as well. The sole purpose for this anger is fighting evil.
The Amplified Version renders it beautifully. It says:
“Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down.” (Ephesians 4:26).
If you lack this kind of anger, you will accept things that you should not have! Things like failure, pain, diseases, poverty, and stagnation are not to be accepted as a part of your life. Without this anger, however, you will be at ease and unconcerned when things should have been of a greater concern.
Use anger to put your stand against things that are below your standards of life and below the standards of the Word of God.
PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for this revelation. Baptise my heart with this special type of anger that I should not accept things as alright when they are not. I want to fight on and on and punish all the evils with this kind of anger. In Jesus name. Amen.
