Mengalahkan Pencobaan Dengan Kuasa Firman

Baca: Lukas 4:1-13

"Sesudah Iblis mengakhiri semua pencobaan itu, ia mundur dari pada-Nya dan menunggu waktu yang baik." (Lukas 4:13)

Selama hidup di dunia ini kita akan terus diperhadapkan pada ujian dan pencobaan karena dunia di mana kita tinggal ini telah dikuasai oleh dosa, dan sudah sangat jelas bahwa sifat-sifat dosa itu sangat bertentangan dengan kehendak Tuhan. Itulah sebabnya setiap orang yang percaya harus terus berjuang melawan pencobaan dan godaan yang dipanahkan iblis. Adalah tidak mudah menang melawan pencobaan-pencobaan yang menyerang kita, karena "...roh memang penurut, tetapi daging lemah." (Matius 26:41).

Mengapa kita harus diperhadapkan pada pencobaan-pencobaan? Ketahuilah bahwa Tuhan tidak pernah menjanjikan kehidupan orang percaya itu bebas dari segala pencobaan, tapi yang pasti Dia berjanji untuk selalu memberikan jalan keluar, sedangkan "Pencobaan-pencobaan yang kamu alami ialah pencobaan-pencobaan biasa, yang tidak melebihi kekuatan manusia. Sebab Allah setia dan karena itu Ia tidak akan membiarkan kamu dicobai melampaui kekuatanmu. Pada waktu kamu dicobai Ia akan memberikan kepadamu jalan ke luar, sehingga kamu dapat menanggungnya." (1 Korintus 10:13).

Bagaimana supaya kita bisa menang melawan pencobaan dari iblis? Cara terbaik adalah harus melekat pada Tuhan dan senantiasa tinggal di dalam firmanNya. Tuhan Yesus telah meninggalkan teladan yang luar biasa bagaimana melawan pencobaan. Ketika sedang dicobai iblis, tak henti-hentinya Yesus menggunakan firman Allah sebagai pedang Roh untuk mematahkan setiap tipu muslihat iblis. Sebagaimana tertulis, selama empat puluh hari Yesus berpuasa di padang gurun, di mana kesempatan ini tidak disia-siakan iblis untuk mencobai Dia. Tiga kali iblis berusaha untuk melemahkan Yesus dengan harapan Dia gagal menggenapi rencana Bapa dalam hidupNya, agar Dia berbalik dari jalan yang sudah ditentukan oleh BapaNya. Tiga kali pula Yesus membalas serangan iblis itu dengan memperkatakan firman Tuhan, "Ada tertulis..." Dan akhirnya Yesus menang!

Firman itu hidup dan berkuasa karena itu adalah perkataan Allah sendiri! Kuasa itu semakin nyata bila kita memperkatakan firman itu dengan iman. Namun, mengapa kita sebagai orang Kristen malas membaca Alkitab?

Sebesar apa pun pencobaan yang menyerang kita, sepatah kata dari firman Tuhan yang kita ucapkan dengan iman akan sanggup mengalahkannya.

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
