READ: Matthew 21:12-27
…he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts… – Mark 3:5
If you are a leader, you will become happy with the things that make God happy. You will also become angry with the things that make God angry. You see, Jesus got
angry when He saw the evil that was being perpetrated by backslidden worshippers. They had converted the church into a business centre.
Most people are only capable of natural fleshly anger. But the Bible speaks of anger that is different. That is what I call holy anger. “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun
go down upon your wrath” (Ephesians 4:26).
In this Scripture, Christians are actually instructed to get angry sometimes. The important thing is not to sin whilst you are angry. Holy anger is the anger that rises within you against the devil, sin, and wickedness in the world. Holy anger is the anger that rises against injustice and oppression.
When holy anger comes upon you, you are expected to take certain decisions. Just as Jesus threw out the moneychangers from the temple, there is a time to throw certain people out of your organizations. Many businesses and companies fail because they fail to act appropriately in righteous anger.
Leaders must know how to operate in righteous biblical anger.
