Preparing And Sanctifying Ourselves For The Lord's Work
God's work will only be fulfilled by His own timetable. However, it is important for us to prepare our mindset and attitude as ministers of the gospel in order to give the complete truth. This preparation requires sanctification through our encounters, life experiences and even our trials as we place our focus on God. With this prepared, we will become soldiers of Christ that seeks only His guidance, athletes that runs for the Lord and not ourselves, and the hardworking farmer that waits faithfully for God's harvest in time to come.

<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.
