3 Things That Defile A Person Of God (Part 2)

(2) The second is anger.

Ephesians 4:26 "Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath..."

-Angry people live as if the world owes them something—something they can never quite identify.

-Angry people are impossible to please.

a. In business, they attract employees that are more concerned with making their bosses happy than doing what’s best for the organization. This leads to poor decisions, eventually putting them at odds with their angry bosses and the cycle of dysfunction continues.

b. In life they are filled with negativity and bitterness and always looking for someone to blame for their behavior, their lack, or their lifestyle. They are constantly finding fault with everyone and everything around them and are generally mad with life.

-Angry people are controlled people. They are controlled by their hatred, attitude, racism, bickering, and gossip. They are not happy unless someone else is unhappy and they desire for revenge dominates and clouds their future.

Romans 12:19 "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord."

Psalm 94:1 " O Lord God, to whom vengeance belong-O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!"
