 DELIVERANCE FROM THE NEAR SUCCESS SYNDROME 1

   By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi

    “Your anger can never make things right in God’s sight.”  James 1:20.

“Don’t be in a hurry to go to court you might go down before your neighbours in shameful defeat.” Prov. 25:8 LB.

       The near success syndrome is the habit of failing at the edge of breakthrough and this is often as a result of the absence of finishing power born of out of deep-seated anger or bitterness of the soul . Anger could be described as a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of opposition toward someone or something.It is often brought about by real or imagined injury, rage, fury, wrath. Anger is a broad term that applies to various levels of emotion that may or may not be shown and if not controlled ,it results in temper, which is ‘the tendency to be easily angered.

     God’s word warns us against yielding to anger and wrath. The inability to control the temper has placed many persons in very embarrassing situations. Spouses have abandoned marriages only to regret such actions because of intemperance. God would not give you a task when He has not given you the ability to achieve the set task. Therefore, anger should not be given any room in our lives anymore. Failure to master anger could hinder the will of God from being done in our lives. “Stop your anger! Turn from your rage! Do not envy others it only leads to harm.” Psalm 37:8 LB. The scriptures says  “Don’t be quick tempered, for anger is the friend of fools. Eccl. 7:9 LB

       Anger exposes you to Satanic and demonic manipulations. Anger weakens a man's spiritual defense mechanism and intellectual capacity rendering him vulnerable to evil attacks .He finds it hard to make sound judgments . “He that  is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city. Pro. 16:32 KJV.

     “A person without self-control is as defenseless, as a city with broken down walls. Pro. 25:28 LB.

     Pride , fear and selfishness are the parents of anger: Usually when a person’s sense of pride is injured he or she becomes aggrieved resulting in anger. Angry persons need to ask the Lord to give them the spirit of humility and generosity. “Proud and haughty scorner  is his name, who deals in proud, wrath. Pro. 21:24. “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

     Ungodly anger leads to hardships and unnecessary sufferings. Hot tempered persons are always in and out of troubles with unpleasant consequences, Prov. 19:19 says “A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment”.. Ungodly anger often leads to unpleasant legal tussles with embarrassing court cases resulting in financial losses. “Do not bring hastily to court for what will you do in the end if your neighbour puts you to shame? Pro. 25:8 God is not in support of most court cases because they are born out of revenge and pride.

      Wise men control their temper because they know it leads to mistakes and even greater problems.  An example of this is seen in the book of Numbers 20: 7,8,10-12, and Psalm 106: 32:33. Moses’ outburst of anger caused him to lose the blessing and privilege of leading his people into the promised land. The Lord spoke unto Moses saying. Take the rod … and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes (the rebellious congregation), and it shall give forth his water … Moses … said unto them. Hear now, you rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand and with his rod he smote the rock twice and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank. And the lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron, because you believed Me not to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel. Therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them .Like Moses many preachers have failed in their ministries because of a rebellious church member. Nobody can change a rebel only God can . Anger leads to near success syndrome.

Prayer : Heavenly Father,  forgive me of my sins against you , I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation , I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power over  anger and the near success syndrome in Jesus name.
