Examples Of Uncontrolled Wrath In The Bible
As a Christian it is only natural to suffer in this world because everything in this world belong to Satan rather than God. Being said that, more often than not, all Christians face a hardship and humiliation. We must know what Satan wants us to react to these humiliation and adversities.

When Lord asked Jonah if it was right for him to say such thing, he still insisted that he had a right heart. To answer him, God drew a comparison between people of Nineveh and Jonah’s plants. He said “And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their lfet-and much livestock?” (Jonah
