14 Sep Understanding And Resolving Anger
Preacher Huijun - 30 July 2015
Remnant Who Long For Christ
What do we understand by the word "remnant"? Essentially, remnant refers to the minority who stands out from the majority because they turn to God. While they have the favour of God because God is on their side, but because of that, they also face the opposition of the world, i.e. the majority of the people, the currents of the world. If you are a remnant, are you prepared to take the 2 fold outcomes of being one? And how to you find strength in this path of faith? That is through fellowship with remnants. As the gospel of Christ is preached, it exposes the hearts of men and distinguish the remnants vs the non-remnants, because the truth of God is an open provocation to the hidden rebellion. While painful when exposed, the ones who are brought to contriteness, humility and thus greater need for God will be revealed, and that is also the moment when the power of Holy Spirit will be greatly experienced. And indeed, a remnant is one who lives in this empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

<Eph 4:26-27, 31-32> ESV
26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil (Or: Do not give the devil a foothold).…. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Be angry and do not sin <v26>
1) Intrinsically and inherently, anger in itself is not a sin.
2) Understand “Righteous Anger” – Can be a powerful force to put a stop to sinning.
3) Yet, our anger many a times lacks element of “righteousness”.
4) Individuals, Family and World are all terribly affected by anger
2. DO NOT let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold <v27>
1) Persistent/prolonged anger invites the devil to work.
2) Prolonged anger can open a way for the devil in our hearts to make his lies believable to us.
