ANGER FURY

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath; Neither give place to the devil.” ‭Ephesians ‭4:26-27‬ ‭KJV

What is anger? This is a strong feeling of annoyance and displeasure and it is usually emotional. It makes you lose your sense of reasoning and most times when one is angry all you want is revenge or how to inflict pain on the person who made you angry in the first place. I have seen Christians who pride themselves of being very furious and out of control when they get angry, and they become boastful of such attitude. 

We are admonished to be slow to anger as stated in James 1:19-10. Notice it didn't say quick to anger; this means when you are slow to anger - you should be quick to listen, slow to speak because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” When you come across someone who makes you angry and you are able to keep your cool and calm the situation, you are the wise one, “A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” (‭‭Proverbs 19:11‬)

‭‭Anger is a spirit and when the spirit of anger takes a hold of anyone, it tears apart and ruin relationships and its effects can be devastating. It is like fire; If the fire is controlled, it can be helpful and productive but if the fire gets out of control it can be harmful and deadly. We are all responsible for the way we respond or deal with a situation, even if someone’s actions stirs up anger in you, you have a responsibility of diffusing the situation by responding back in love, yes it might take a lot of effort on your part, remember that God is counting on you and He has given you the ability to handle the situation rightly.
