Anger Management: A Key to Godly Leadership – Olusegun Ige

When Joseph became Prime Minister in Egypt, he was in a position of power over the very brothers who had betrayed him and sold him into slavery. Instead of seeking revenge, he chose forgiveness and compassion, aligning his actions with God’s purpose. This remarkable choice demonstrates the power of self-control and the blessings that come when we rise above the natural urge to retaliate.

Anger, when left unchecked, not only leads us into sin but also distances us from the grace needed to handle greater responsibilities. God entrusts power to those who master their emotions and prioritize righteousness over personal feelings. Joseph’s example reminds us that forgiveness and emotional maturity are crucial for those who seek to walk in divine authority.

Key Scripture:
“Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” – Ephesians 4:26-27

As we reflect on the teaching, let Joseph’s story inspire us to practice self-control and extend forgiveness, making us vessels worthy of God’s trust and blessings.
