John 2 : 13 – 16
And the Jews Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the chargers of money sitting and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple and the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers money, and overthrew the table.
Jesus was filled with holy indignation He was angry at sin and the works of the devil because that was what he came to destroy. What stirs up your anger is a pointer to the problem you are here to solve.
Apart from this, anger is a force, a progressive force. When you are angry it becomes easier for you to do what ordinarily you wouldn’t do. Have you ever noticed that anger increases your speed while running? Imagine for a minute. You have just returned from office weary and dejected. You are about to open your door, your key dropped to the ground and a seven years old kid suddenly rushed at key, took it and started running away for no reason. Even if you can’t run, you will run after him fast enough to collect your key!
When David entered into the battle field he heard the boasting of Goliath and became angry.
1Samuel 17 : 48
And it came to pass when the philistine arose and came and drew high to meet David, that David lasted and ran toward the army to meet the philistine.
The anger in his inside increased his speed. Your destiny is still some distance away, you need to run. And to run into your future you must be angry with your present position.
2 King 2:14
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the water and said, where is the Lord God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted thither and thither: and Elisha went over.
Elisha was imprisoned at the other side of Jordan. And that would have been the end of his vision. His double potion would have been of no use. But with anger he said ‘’where s the Lord God of Elijah?
There are some rivers along your way, you must be mad at them before they can part.
WHY MUST BE ANGRY
• Where you are today is not where you should be, God want you to move higher
• If you are not angry at failure you cannot attract success
• The devil is sitting on your destiny you must resist him in anger. He is like a dog, you must be angry at him before he can stop following you.
Friends, treasure in the kingdom is only for the violent. God has a Canaan for you but there are giants there.
You must rise up and fight. Christianity is not dumbness. The way you talk, the way you pray, the way you react, it’s like you are too gentle to make it. Your adversary is roaming about and you are yawning about without conscience! Look, you must match him fury for fury!
Jonah :1:3, 5b
But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
... But Jonah was gone don into the side of the ship. And he lay down and was fast a sleep.
Stop sleeping inside trouble, as if you will live twice on earth! Your life cannot continue like this. All these begging for food and hunting for goods on credit must stop. Your children should not become vagabonds,
Look, why must you continue failing your examinations? Why must your name be missing from the computer sheet? Why should your script get lost in transit? Why should your business be going down daily? Why should your family be falling apart? Why should your children be wayward?
Enough is enough! Quit ye like men and fight. You have a future in Christ; you should not waste your only life.
DIVINE MADNESS
According to Horace anger means short madness.You must be ‘’mad’’ before you can make it. David saw Goliath and lost his right senses. He ran toward that strange creature as if he was ready to commit suicide! Why? Physically speaking David couldn’t pose any threat to Goliath. Goliath should just pick him up and remove his head from his neck.
2Corinthians 5:13
For whether we be beside ourselves it is to God; or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
Everyone who could be counted as somebody in the scripture was mad.
Characteristic of mad people
• Madman don’t listen to others
• They are controlled by another spirit
• They are insensitive to people comments
If you must get to where you are going in life all these qualities must be in you. You must be careful of counselors. You also need to allow the Holy Spirit to be controlling you. Above all you must toughen your mind against criticism and false accusation remain focused and mind your own business.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD
Friend’s its time to wake up. There will never be another you; you must make the most of your life. Don’t stay on a spot, waiting and wasting. Fight your way into your destiny. Be angry against all mockers of destiny
11 Kings 2: 23 – 25
And he went up from thence into Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up thou bald head.
And he turned back and look on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord and there came forth two she bears out of the wood and tare forty and two children of them.
Out of anger, Elisha killed his Mockers. The mockers of your destiny will not die until you become angry; therefore wake up. Your life should improve. Where you are now is not where you ought to be. God has a better plan for you.
Be angry with failure. Be angry with poverty; be angry with fruitlessness and stagnation. In the Name of Jesus, you will not die unfulfilled. Remember, until you become angry with the present, you have no future.
