Episode Description

Numbers 20:10-12:And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye 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 their beasts also. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

The children of Israel were at it again, the would not even allow Moses to mourn his sister. As soon as Miriam the sister of Moses was buried in vs. 1, the people began to complain and murmur again. They wanted water again and the only way to get the water was to complain and accuse Moses again and again. Moses became so frustrated and fell on his face before the Lord and God gave him a specific instruction - speak to the rock and it will deliver the water needed.  Sadly, Moses was so angry, irritated, mad at the people. Moved by this uncontrolled anger he smote the rock. Not even once, twice… wao! That was the end. The ministry of leading God's people to the promised land ended. there. Friends, Anger is a very sensitive matter. Why? because it is a God given emotion which enables you to express your displeasure or your stand about a matter. Look at how God introduced Himself to Moses in Exodus 32:6

Exodus 32:6:And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 

Brethren until you are slow to anger you cannot abound in love. 

Do you know that as God leads you through the wilderness to your promised land, you will certainly be provoked to anger and if you do not handle it righteously, you will suffer the consequences of uncontrolled anger. The first consequence of uncontrolled anger as revealed to me by the Spirit of God is that uncontrolled anger could reduce your wall of defense and open you up to the invasion of the spirit of destruction.

Exodus 32: 19: So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses’ anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

The anger became so hot that it melted the wall of defense of the meekest man on earth and the spirit of destruction came in. The greatest treasure delivered directly from heaven, written by God, carved by God was destroyed and shattered.  Can you imagine how many things of value have been destroyed as a result of uncontrolled anger. Marriages, relationships, ministries, etc.  People have walked away from the place of destiny, despised amazing business opportunities given by God and destroyed lovely relationships that would have led to a glorious marriage simply because of uncontrolled anger. 

Uncontrolled anger has the capability to capture the productivity of the mind such that a person under the influence of uncontrolled anger forgets value. Oh yes, at that momentary time of full manifestation of anger, such a person has no value for God-ordained relationships.  

Dearly beloved, the consequences of uncontrolled anger are grave. Out of anger, Moses smote the rock that God asked him to speak to. The rock delivered water abundantly for the people and their beasts but Moses missed the opportunity to get to the promised land. 

Listen to this word of the Lord that will bless you as much as it has blessed me and share with others in your network. Have a blessed day.
