Bro. Eli,
I would like to ask how I can eliminate my attitude of being so furious and angry immediately whenever I encounter some difficulties. Kindly help me. I know my actions are not acceptable, but I can’t help it since I was a child.

Dear Restlyn,
No man can attain renewal by himself alone.
(Jeremiah 10:23) “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
You will need the intervention of the Lord to be renewed from the evil things that you are accustomed to do.
(Jeremiah 13:23) “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”
By himself, a black Ethiopian can not change the natural color of his or her skin, nor can a leopard remove its spot. It is only through God’s power that a person can attain renewal.
(Proverbs 16:9) “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”
Pray for God’s guidance and power to intervene in your person, especially in your heart. It is divinely possible.
(Ezekiel 36:26) “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.”
Enrich your heart with unfeigned love and hatred and anger will go away.
(Proverbs 22:24-25) “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.”
Follow Christ and you will be renewed.
(II Corinthians 5:17) “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
May God be merciful on you!
EFS
