The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for 27th April 2022 Is “Holy Anger?”
Read: EPHESIANS 4:26-27
26. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27. Neither give place to the devil.
Memorise: Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Truly, no matter how you try to stay sane, some people will still try to annoy you. However, there is no justification for uncontrolled outbursts or actions to express ones anger. This is why the Bible says that anger resteth in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:9).
Whenever I see a believer lash out loudly or do things in retaliation to the hurt done to him/her, I wonder if the fellow has truly given place to the Holy Spirit in his/her life. I used to get very angry when provoked, until God told me that if I truly wanted more of His anointing, I had to work on myself.
It is not a sin to feel offended about something, but when you allow that hurtful feeling to rest in your bosom (heart), you’re gradually drifting into foolishness. This was why God punished Moses.
It started from when he got angry with the people for worshipping a golden calf. Thereafter, he struck the rock against Gods instruction and this brought grave consequences to him.
It can really be tough to get over this work of the flesh but by the help of the Holy Spirit, you can control your responses to situations from now.
OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY 27TH APRIL 2022
KEY POINT
Whenever you’re angry, calm down and say nothing.
HYMN
NEARER, MY GOD
1. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
nearer to thee!
E’en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee
2. Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I’d be
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!
3. There let the way appear,
steps unto heaven;
all that Thou sendest me,
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!
4. Then with my waking thoughts
bright with Thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!
5. Or if, on joyful wing
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to Thee;
nearer to Thee!
