Though Count Nikolaus Von Zinzendorf was born into a royal family, he spent his lifetime serving God and spreading the Gospel. He was a leader of the Moravian denomination and under his leadership, missionaries were sent out all around the world.
On February 14, 1743, Count von Zinzendorf with his missionary team were returning from the West Indies. As their ship approached the coastline of southern England, a stormy wind relentlessly pushed it toward the jagged rocks jutting from the shoreline.
The passengers and crew huddled below the deck were in fear for their lives. Believing that the ship would soon crash, the Captain of the ship said to Count Zinzendorf, “Within hours, Your Excellency, we will be at the bottom of this ocean. The ship will not survive a crash against that rocky shore.”
Raising his eyebrows in surprise at the stark prediction, Count Zinzendorf spoke confidently above the raging storm. “Captain, within two hours, this storm will be abated, and we will be sailing in calm seas once again.”
The Captain shook his head in disbelief. In two hours, the Captain climbed carefully up the wooden ladder to the deck of his vessel. In wonder, he saw that the winds had shifted, the stormy clouds had parted; there were blue skies and placid seas surrounding the ship on all sides.“Count Zinzendorf,” the captain inquired in awe, “how did you know that we would have this calm sea in exactly two hours?”
“I have had a trusting relationship with Jesus Christ for nearly forty years,” the count responded. “He speaks to me in the quietness of my soul when I pray before Him. This time, He assured me that the storm would end in two hours.” Amazed at Zinzendorf’s extraordinary faith, the Captain accepted Christ as Lord of his life.
It is through God’s guidance, that we can successfully navigate through the storms and dangerous waters of life. In times of uncertainties, we must always look to Jesus. Don’t ever let the direction of outward circumstances, cause you to conclude negatively about your situation.
It doesn’t matter what goes on around you, what matters most is what goes on within you. Therefore always keep your focus on Jesus. As long as Peter saw Jesus, he could walk on the water, but when he began to look at the fierce winds around him, he became afraid; and began to sink.(Matthew 14:30)
To survive the storms of life, look away from what is happening and look at what is written in God’s Word. Study the Word, confess the Word and stand on the promises of God. To be constantly victorious, we must make a decision to spend quality time in God’s Word and prayers.
That is how we can be equipped to become sensitive to the voice of the Spirit and fight the good fight of faith.
As sons of God, we have a major advantage in life; it is the guidance of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
It is your heritage as a child of God to be led by the Spirit of God. As you listen to Him, He will help you navigate through difficult circumstances and emerge victorious. Today, as you stay committed to following His guidance, no matter how contrary things may seem around you, be assured you will never be defeated, rather you will triumph always and be more than a conqueror!
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to know that You are always there for me no matter what I may face in life. Thank you for giving me the victory in every situation and causing me to triumph always by the power of the Spirit in Jesus Name.
