Every person has to deal with circumstances and situations in life that can be pleasant or not so pleasant. Since many Christians remain carnal, उनकी भावनाएँ, emotions and behavior depend upon their circumstances and situations. One moment they are up and the next moment they are down. When everything goes well and according to their will, they are happy and joyful and can take on the world. But as soon as they experience setbacks and things don’t go the way they planned or as expected, they panic and become pressed down, चिंतित, चिंतित, नाराज़, and start to murmur and complain. How do you prevent yourself from becoming a victim of circumstances according to the Bible?
How many Christians let the circumstances reign in their lives?
Many Christians yield to their circumstances and allow their circumstances to dictate their lives and take control of their lives. Sometimes the circumstances can take such a big place in the life of Christians that they become a victim and a prisoner of circumstances.
When circumstances control your life, you will miss out on the beautiful things in life. You won’t experience joy, ख़ुशी, और शांति, but the circumstances have a negative destructive influence in your life and cause worry, डर, discontentment, गुस्सा, and sometimes even depression.
The more attention you pay to the circumstances, the more busy you will be with your circumstances and the bigger place the circumstances get in your life, and the bigger the chaos and destruction in your life.
The destructive power of a hurricane
It is just like a hurricane (or typhoon, or cyclone) that causes destruction in areas. The ‘power supply’ determines the strength of the hurricane. If the hurricane gets the right power supply, then the power will increase in strength and the effect of it becomes visible in the destruction that the hurricane causes. A hurricane ruins everything that comes in the way.
आप कह सकते हैं, that a hurricane shows us in the natural realm, what the devil and demons cause in the spiritual realm in the lives of people.
The devil is not a friend of people. Although the devil wants you to believe that he is your friend.
It may seem, that the devil has the best intentions for your life, जबकि वास्तविकता में, the devil has a hidden agenda and has the worst intentions for your life.
The devil comes to steal, मारना, और नष्ट करो, because that’s his character (जॉन 10:10).
First of all the devil shall steal your relationship with God, because he wants to become the god of your life.
When he becomes the god of your life, he shall steal your joy, शांति, ख़ुशी, and fill your mind with his lies that oppose the Word of God and cause destruction in your life.
The devil shall mislead you and tempt you to sin to keep you in his power, bounded to sin, and lead you to death. क्योंकि शब्द कहता है, वह पाप मृत्यु की ओर ले जाता है (रोमनों 6:16). और शैतान बिल्कुल यही चाहता है.
The devil wants to destroy and kill people and lead them to death, so that he will not be the only one, who will be cast into the lake of fire (रहस्योद्घाटन 20:14-15).
He uses every (आध्यात्मिक) weapon and method at his disposal to achieve his goal. इसीलिए, the devil not only uses thoughts and people, but also problems, situations and circumstances to achieve his goal and make you a prisoner of circumstances so he can destroy your life. But God always has a way out.
Just like the hurricane, there is one place, where a person will be save. That safe place is in the eye of the hurricane. In the eye of a hurricane, there are no destructive powers. बजाय, there is peace and calm breezes of winds.
The place in Christ is like the eye of the hurricane
जब आप मसीह में फिर से जन्म लेते हैं, आप मसीह में बैठे हैं. As long as you stay in Christ (शब्द), and be led by Him and His words and your mind stay focused on Him, you shall experience His peace and joy, despite the circumstances and situations in your life.
आप करेंगे withstand the storms that come your way because you have faith in God and know that you’re save in Christ.
You know that the भगवान का हाथ is upon your life and that you will not have to fear.
अंत में, भाइयों, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, करना: and the God of peace shall be with you (फिलिप्पियों 4:8-9)
आप उसे पूर्ण शांति में रखेंगे, जिसका मन तुम पर टिका है: क्योंकि वह तुम पर भरोसा रखता है (यशायाह 26:3)
इसलिए, you shall not focus upon the storms; the circumstances and situations and feed them and let them take control of your life. But you shall focus upon the Word and do what the Word tells you to do and let the Word control your life.
You shall stay in Christ, and keep standing on the Word and from your faith in Christ, you shall speak to the situations and circumstances.
Why is there so much sorrow, डर, उथल-पुथल, and no peace among Christians?
प्रभु यों कहते हैं, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea (यशायाह 48:17-18)
There is a lot of sorrow, डर, उथल-पुथल, bitterness and no peace among Christians because they don’t read the Bible and don’t believe the words of God. इसलिए, they don’t do what the Word tells them to do. बजाय, they believe in the wisdom of the world and listen to the world and do what the world tells them to do
Many Christians are not happy but murmur and complain all the time. They allow situations and circumstances to control their lives.
The situations and circumstances become the center of their lives, यीशु मसीह के बजाय; the Word being the Center of their lives. इसलिए, they become a prisoner of circumstances.
They inquire the world and apply carnal methods and techniques, that derive from the wisdom and knowledge of this world, to keep their head above the water and learn how to cope with the situation and circumstances in their lives.
But all this carnal wisdom and worldly methods will not help or will only help them temporarily. Because as soon as another problem or the next situation arises, they are back to square one and they become a prisoner of circumstances again.
This happens because they are not rooted in the Word, but in the world.
How to prevent from becoming a prisoner of circumstances?
If you want to prevent from becoming a prisoner of circumstances, you must look to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the solution and the only answer to every problem, परिस्थिति, and circumstance in life. As long as you stay in the eye of the hurricane, which means that as long as you stay in Christ and do what the Word tells you to do, you shall experience the joy and peace of God, जो सभी समझ से परे है.
क्योंकि शब्द कहता है: मेरा बेटा, मेरा कानून मत भूलना; परन्तु तेरा मन मेरी आज्ञाओं का पालन करे: दिनों की लम्बाई के लिए, और लंबा जीवन, और शांति, क्या वे तुम्हें जोड़ देंगे? (कहावत का खेल 3:1-2)
जो तेरी व्यवस्था से प्रेम रखते हैं, उन्हें बड़ी शान्ति मिलती है: और कोई भी बात उन्हें ठेस नहीं पहुंचाएगी (भजन संहिता 119:165)
और भगवान की शांति, जो सभी समझ से परे है, तुम्हारे हृदय और मन को मसीह यीशु के द्वारा सुरक्षित रखेंगे (फिलिप्पियों 4:7)
When you walk after the Spirit and listen to Jesus Christ; वचन और उसकी इच्छा करो, your mood shall not depend upon the circumstances and situations in your life.
You shall not allow the circumstances to take control of your life so that you become a victim of the devil and a prisoner of circumstances. You shall not allow the circumstances to cause destruction in your life. बजाय, you shall rise above above the circumstances.
As long as you are rooted and grounded in the Word and do what the Word tells you to do, you will stay in Christ and therefore you shall not panic, चिंता, be fearful, and act after the flesh, but you shall experience and keep the joy and peace of God in your life and act after the Spirit.
Living in Christ, being a victor instead of a victim
You shall experience storms in your life, but instead of becoming a victim of the circumstances you shall be a victor of the circumstances. You shall live above the circumstances and situations, whereby you shall experience God’s rest and peace.
यीशु केवल एक ही है, Who gives peace and life. As long as you feed and अपने मन को नवीनीकृत करें with the Word and stay loyal to the Word and abide in the Word so that the Word abides in you, you shall find rest and have peace in your mind and your life.
क्योंकि यीशु कहते हैं: शांति मैं तुम्हारे साथ जा रहा हूँ, मैं अपनी शांति तुम्हें देता हूं: जैसा संसार देता है वैसा नहीं, मैं तुम्हें दे दूं. तुम्हारा हृदय व्याकुल न हो, न ही इसे डरने दो (जॉन 14:27)
'पृथ्वी का नमक बनो'
