Word Digest: Slay The Invisible Giant (3)

"Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male. They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left. The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where their sister had been defile" [Genesis 34:25-27] NIV Bible

Dinah the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob on her visit to the Hivite women was defiled by Shechem, son of Hamor, the Hivite. Shechem was the ruler of Hivite.

When the news of defilement got to Jacob and the entire family, it angered the brothers of Dinah. The third invisible giant which ought to be slain is anger as far as this publication is concerned.

While Jacob's family was in shock and pain, plans were far advanced on the part of Hamor and his son, Shechem to marry Dinah.

Conspicuously, the two sons (Simeon and Levi) of Jacob, were waging a vendetta against not only Hamor and his son, Shechem, but the entire city too. And they succeeded from the main text. Thus how far the power of anger can go.

Folks anger is one of the invisible giants Satan uses to cause destructions. Anger is part and parcel of humans. But it can be controlled to avoid serious blunders. One of the main causes of anger is temptation.

On the face of this, no matter how disrespectful or painful the offence might be, just be slow to anger and never follow your heart of vengeance or retaliation.

For anger does not only breed trouble but can cause one to take someone's else life or destroy something beautiful.

Anytime you are angry think twice before you act. When you do that it doesn't make you a loser but a victor over the temptation of anger.

Prayer
O Lord, strengthen me to overcome the temptation of anger in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Confession
Master Jesus, you are my shield and buckler.
God bless you for reading and sharing.
