INTRODUCTORY SONG “Jesus the way, the truth and the life, whosoever believes in him shall never die.” Brethren, do not allow any person to lead you astray. As soon as you reject Christ and his teachings realize that there is no other way for you to go, and by so doing you are covered with darkness. The reason why things have taken the shape it is now with the people of the world is because they have rejected Christ and his teachings. This thing is not derivable from educational wisdom, or one’s intellect: nor is it considered in terms of length or breath; beauty or handsomeness or wealth. It is the wisdom of God. This thing is fulfilled according to the words of the prophecy. It has been predestined already that he is the only Leader. Itis himself alone who can lead us to the accurate wisdom of the truth. Neither man nor angel that can lead humanity. From Adam till enternity it is himself alone who knows the way, who leads and he is the savious; he is the Protector and the Teacher. Apart from him there is no other person. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OTHER CREATIONS AND MAN AND CHRIST This explains why it is said that God created man in his own image and after his likeness. What does "his own image" in that statement stand for? That refers to the reasoning faculty given to mankind. The fishes, animals and other creations have instinct but they do not have the reasoning faculty. The explanation is that if per chance you find a fish in our midst, intuitively it will know that human beings are in this house. The same thing is applicable to an animal If an animal gets into a place where people gather it will instinctively know that human beings are there. The only thing left is that it will not know what to do and save itself. The fish or animal is aware that it is going to be caught but how to escape it will not know nor what to do and save itself. The fish or animal is aware that it is going to be caught but how to escape will be the problem. Fishes and animals do not have this thinking faculty and they are not given by God. It is a pity that it has to be like that. Of all creations of God including human beings the only person who has this wisdom is our Lord Jesus Christ. Right now all of us are aware of the fact that anger is not good. But the problem is how and what can you do to stop getting annoyed. Nobody seems to know how to go about it now. Moses himself got angry, the rest of the patriarchs got angry and so on and so forth until this day. We all are aware that anger is not good and that our present predicament is caused by anger. Then what will man do to free himself from this helpless situation? No man knows and there is no angel who knows how to get about it. What has brought problems into the world? Is itnot anger? The untold hardship you find in the entire world is traceable to anger. All what you have heard that people are quarreling, fighting and killing themselves; these things are caused by anger. There is no other thing that causes these problems except anger. When you are angry you do all kinds of shady and abominable things. It is anger which is satan. The question now is: What is mankind to do in order to remove himself from that state of anger?ANGER GIVES BIRTH TO PREDICAMENTS Our Lord Jesus Christ has put across his questions before us and has provided answers to his questions. He does not fail to tell you advantages and disadvantages of anything. If you like it is finally left for you to either take it or leave it. There is nobody who knows that his main problem and that which troubles him is anger. Death, lack, sickness, problem, difficulty, hatred and other things emanate from anger and anger is the key which unlocks the way for these calamities to befall you. It is just like somebody would say the chairman of an occasion or the president of a club; if you ‘want to know the chairman or president of all evil things it is none other than anger. Once you are angry if you plant any crop it will not have good yields; if you wish you may experiment this and if care is not taken that crop may not germinate at all but where it does, it will not bring forth good yields. If you go to the market with your articles while you are angry nobody will come around to ask what they cost, not even a fly will settle on it. When you are angry somebody can stand by you talking but you will not hear and at such a point you cannot even see well. If somebody greets you, you will not hear; and because you do not hear you will think the person is cursing you and you will get angry instantly asking whether he is cursing you; whereas the person has greeted you, WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY YOU ARE USELESS When you are angry if you give somebody advice and if he abides by your advice he will perish. To start with, it is not possible for anybody to adhere to your advice. And once you are angry you become a dead person, anything you touch becomes dead; in fact you become totally paralysed. It is for that reason the whites say: "Anger is a short madness.” There is nothing to compare to any angry man. A mad man is better than an angry man. A drunkard for that matter is better than an angry man. That is what has kept the world in the state it is today. It is pathetic therefore, to find that people in this fold still shamelessly stand out to confess their sins thus: "I am easily given to anger". Everyday you continued to recite that ‘poem’ and the ‘verse’ "....easily given to anger." You find that your twenty or forty years here count for nothing. I have come with an antidote to that problem. When you are angry and you speak to somebody who perhaps does not hear you, and just for that you become so much angry. If somebody greets you, you will think he is wishing you ill-luck. At that juncture you do not see well again, you experience pains all over your body; you become troubled and impoverished. ‘As soon as you are angry you may distribute your properties to people. It may not end there, you can go ahead and declare publicly who you are, and what goes on in your family, saying everything and disgracing yourself before people. While you are angry people may go into your house and plunder all your goods. And anytime you are angry you are useless. We are seeking for long life, peace, money and all good things, but what is the solution to getting those things. What causes such a problem is anger. As long as you do not refrain from anger things may not be well with you. You have heard the panacea which I have given to you today. When anger will start its work on you, it is at that time you will say it is ghost, or suspect somebody and threaten killing him with a gun, out of that same anger. You can even 3try your hands on concoction and diabology. There is nothing evil anger cannot do. If somebody tells you that anger can bring anything good to any man tell that person that he is adeceiver. Anger cannot do anything good to anybody. All what anger does is to spoil all what had been made good already. ELIJAH ACTED BADLY BECAUSE OF ANGER ‘What caused Elijah to. pray and cause the rain to cease for three years and six months? It was anger that did that. During that time there was not even a drop of rain and people died and the survivors suffered untold hardship. Why did Elijah pray and call on God to send down fire to consume the Israelites? It was because his place of worship had been tampered with, and out of that anger he acted the way he did. Why did he pray that fire should consume all those who worshipped the god of Baal? That was also caused by anger. When mention is made of satan everywhere, that is none other thing than anger. That which spoils the world is anger. The woe that betides mankind today is anger. At anytime our Lord Jesus Christ gives you the disadvantages of something he will never fail to give you the antidote so as to overcome all evil and become saved. You have heard what our first lesson says that: "whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement:" There is nobody in this world who believes that if somebody says woe unto you and your mother, that such a man has put himself under the judgement of the Sanhedrin. Nobody also knows that by saying to somebody thou fool, that he has put himself under the un-punishment of hell fire. Do you know this, Like you will find some people do, somebody will keep a chair this way and sit down, and his or her opponent will do likewise; both of them go on abusing and cursing themselves. Don’t you know that you are dead and there is no life in you? At times you find somebody hale and hearty but he is told that he is anaemic. What is responsible for that except anger? Whoever is given to anger is overworking his mind and increasing his blood pressure. If you act in this manner it means you are dead, because you will suddenly run short of blood. ANGER IS SATAN Brethren, it is because I am sympathetic about you and the whole world, that is why I preach ceaselessly to you everyday. I made a statement since 14th February 1942 that if there is anybody who will be able to annoy me I will give him a precious gift. That statement had been made long ago. But why is it that nobody is able to make me angry. It is because I know what anger can do; there is no other satan that exists apart from anger. It is not man, snake or stone which is satan. It is anger which constitutes satan. There is neither charm, juju, diabology, ghost nor mermaid. It is anger which brings about all other evil things. That is why when somebody wants to eliminate you he will first of all cause you to become angry so that he can get you. ‘And once you are angry it means you are finished. If somebody intends to commit you into doing evil, the first thing he has to do is to get you annoyed. The moment he sees you he will bark out: "get out, you rogue!" Immediately he says that you become exasperated. If you are
