Control your anger, it could lead you to your grave

PROVERBS 14:29

Whoever is patient has great understanding,
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

Imagine being a Christian brother or sister with much power and speaking in tongues but you have an anger issue that drives people away from you.

Imagine being a Holy brethren but your anger can shake the earthquake and destroy the fishes in the water.

Anger is completely normal, but when it gets out of control and turns destructive it becomes a problem.

Brother Moses was a Holy brother I can imagine him being an angel in human form but had an anger issue.

Don't get me wrong, everyone has their flaws but when you let them control you, it becomes a problem to you and to your generation. it becomes a heavy burden to your ministry.

Moses was a savior and God sent to the people of Israelites, God told him all he was going to do and did them through his hands, God promised to walk with Him and lead him and people of Israelites into the promised land, but His anger spoilt did not let Him get into the promised land.

So many of us are like that, Holy brother or sister, speaking int tongue 24 hours, angels, vision bearers but our flaws or anger is in control of us.

NUMBERS 20:11-12

And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod, he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

It might not really be being angry, so many have their issues but don't let your issue deprive you of seeing the promised land God has promised and kept for you. Don't let that issue deprive you of the rewards you would have gotten after laboring for years and in just one second, it is destroyed because you could not control it.

Being angry isn't a sin, but the outcome that comes after it is a sin. Moses was basically an intercessor the moment God gave Him the mantle, he was able to be sought God to take away his wrath from the Israelites which the Lord repented of, but He himself could not control his anger that same day. On several occasions.

EXODUS 32:19

And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

Not all anger is bad. Jesus got angry, but angry for the right reasons. Get angry for the right reasons and don't sin while angry.

EPHESIANS 4:26

In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
and do not give the devil a foothold.

Do not give the devil a space to take over your life because you could not control your anger. We are not to get angry to the point that it drives us to sin.

Moses is not the only one with a problem of anger. More than likely you also have had a problem with anger. When anger drives one to sin, it becomes improper use of anger, but there is also a consequence of anger that drives one to sin.

the consequences of Moses' anger were that he could not enter the promised land. You can also lose respect from the people around you or lose your family entirely due to not being able to control one's anger.

DEUTERONOMY 34:4

Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.”

Learn how to control your negative issue by going to the Lord and working upon it consciously.

Control your anger, it could lead you to your grave
