OPEN HEAVENS FOR TODAY TOPIC: NO MORE ANGER
OPEN HEAVENS MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 4:26-27
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
OPEN HEAVENS BIBLE TEXT: James 1:19-20
[19]Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
[20]For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TODAY MESSAGE
Ecclesiastes 7:9 says that anger rests in the bosom of fools. In other words, if a fellow gets angry easily, he or she is similar to someone who says there is no God – they are both fools (Psalm 14:1).
Those who get angry easily often blame other people as the cause of their anger. If this is the case, then it means that they allow the people who offend them to control their emotions. Proverbs 25:28 says that a person who is not in control of his spirit is like a city that has no walls.
If you allow others to control how you feel, then you are in great danger of destruction.
Proverbs 29:22 says, “An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.” Anyone who gets angry easily will hardly have friends because he or she will always stir up strife with them.
Things that shouldn’t ordinarily cause quarrels would become big issues because of the fellow’s short temper.
A man once bought a brand-new car, and one day, while he was washing it, his five-year-old son was on the other side of the car, writing something on it with a sharp object.
When the man discovered this, he got very angry and shouted, This boy! You are scratching my new car!” In his anger, he grabbed the first thing he could lay his hands on – a hammer. He then began to smash the boy’s hands.
By the time he realised what he was doing, the boy’s fingers had already been severely damaged. He rushed the boy to the hospital, but the doctors could not do anything about the fingers, and they had to be amputated.
The following day, the boy asked him, “Daddy, when will my fingers grow back?” Feeling guilty, the man went to the car and looked at what the boy had written on it. Lo and behold, it was, I love you, Daddy’.
The man could not bear the pain he felt thereafter, so he committed suicide. His anger wreaked havoc on the family.
Beloved, if you allow anger to control you, you are giving room to the devil (Ephesians 4:27), and whenever he gets into a place, his mission is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
If you are always quick to get angry or you can’t control your anger, ask God to deliver you today. Constantly renew your mind with His word and submit yourself to counselling so that you can overcome the destructive power of anger.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TODAY PRAYER POINT
Do not give room to the devil in your life by allowing anger to control you.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TODAY: HYMN 24 I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS
1 I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one marked an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak.
2 I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met His Father there.
3 I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To anyone unkind.
4 I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said,
“He hath done what he could.”
5 I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
“Let little children come to Me,”
I would obey the call.
6 But oh, I’m not like Jesus,
As anyone may see;
O gentle Savior, send Thy grace,
And make me like to thee.
Open Heavens Devotional For Today Reflection – October 16th, 2025 by Micromab
Anger is one of the easiest doors the devil uses to enter a person’s life. It clouds judgment, breaks relationships, and can lead to irreversible damage if not controlled. God’s Word reminds us that being quick to anger is not a show of strength but of weakness—it exposes a lack of self-control and spiritual maturity.
As believers, we are called to be “swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.” This means we must train ourselves to pause and process before reacting. When you feel anger rising, invite the Holy Spirit to help you respond with wisdom rather than emotion. Remember, true strength lies in restraint, and peace is a fruit of the Spirit.
If anger has caused damage in your life or relationships, confess it before God today and seek His healing. Forgive those who offend you quickly, for in doing so, you take back control from the enemy and give glory to God.
