You need to know the best way to handle anger if you want to master life:
- Consider anger as a sin and stop bragging about it.
- Always remember that anger rests in the bosom of a fool. (Eccl 7:9)
- Say it to yourself, “I will never raise my voice in anger; I am in charge of my emotion” (50 times) in seven days.
- I will rather keep quiet (wisely) rather than speak in anger and look foolish (say it 40 times)
- During emergencies, I will swallow my saliva ten times when I am really angry before I speak so that I may apply more common sense.
- No matter what happens, I will never speak to hurt my partner; my speech will be full of grace and seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6).
- I will allow the Holy Spirit to be in charge of my emotions (Repeat 30 times) Gal 5:22-26.
- Spirit of meekness, envelope my spirit. Spirit of quietness, take over my emotion. Spirit of self- control, take over my mouth, hands and legs (Repeat 50 times).
- Use mind builder techniques: Memorise and quote the following scriptures many times until they become part of you.
Ecclesiastes 7:9 (20 times)
Proverbs 16:32 (40 times)
Proverbs 19:11 (20 times)
- Say these loudly:
“I am free from anger; anger is dangerous.”
“I am totally free from anger in Jesus name. I wash my mind, heart and soul with the blood of Jesus” (40 times)
Remember, this is a therapy. Do it constantly until it becomes part of you and you will start to feel the work of the Holy Spirit on your emotion.
