Word of God clearly says in 1 Peter 5:8
- Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a
roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to
devour.
When were in the flesh and
world most of us were slaves of devil and his deceiving ways. When we came to
God through prayers we try to give up things we were doing in the past. When we
are in the process of giving up devil will not sit quietly but try his level
best to bring those things in our life back which we are trying to give up.
For example if we were
gossiping about others and after coming to God we realized our mistake and
trying our level best to give up, suddenly the people with whom we were
gossiping show up in front of us and when they start gossiping with us ,if we
are not alert we may again fall trap to it. We cannot just pray without
disciplining ourselves from all the things that distanced ourselves with God.
If we do not discipline
ourselves with everything we think, speak and do then we are in seriously in
danger of falling to our old life again. Devil will come to us sweetly with
loads of temptations once we were indulging ourselves with. If we do not
counter attack the devil with the Word of God then surely we will be doing the
same things which we were doing in the past.
God is the only help we have
to discipline ourselves and that is why God allows sufferings in our life to
make devil feel that we are being punished , if we bear it joyfully then surely
devil will regret it for the rest of our life because he has lost one member of
his team to God. Let us get well equipped with the Word of God so that devil
may not tempt us but flees from us.
God doesn’t allow anything in
our life without connecting it to His plan and purpose for our life. Let us go
through everything destined to us by God so that we may live for God when on
earth and after our death we may be united with God forever.
