Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
People think that getting angry is a bad thing and equated to sinning. This is very wrong. I tell people that if one is not angry, then one cannot be a good Christian. What matters is the reason why we get angry. If we are not angry against evil or the failure of implementation of the Kingdom of God, we will not be driven with passion to work against these wrongs.
We are called not to be angry against a brethren; we can be angry against the wrong that brethren does, yet not against him/her until all possibilities are exhausted. Also if we get angry at a brethren we need to act towards correction and not store the anger.
Let not the Sun go down upon your wrath has nothing to do with day or night. It does not mean by sunset we are called to overcome the anger. The Sun is a symbol of the grace of God, so until grace is available, we are called to overcome anger; we are called to deal with it, and if we do not, we become perpetrators, sinners not victims.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You are Almighty God. You are Almighty God. You are full of Mercy and Love. You, Lord also have been angry at your people, but You did not consume them but led them to correction. Lord we pray we understand the danger of holding on to anger against someone, but let us always be full of anger against evil and vanity…
This prayer we make in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
