Kwalembedwa ku 1 Akorinto 2:9 (NCV), "Palibe amene anaonapo izi, ndipo palibe amene anamvapo za izo. Palibe amene analingalirapo zimene Mulungu wakonzera anthu amene amamukonda." Ndipo kenako mu vesi 10, "Koma Mulungu watisonyeza zinthu izi kudzera mwa Mzimu."
Pamene tafika pa chikhulupiriro mwa Mulungu wamoyo ndi woona, Iye amalemba malamulo a Mzimu m'mitima ndi m'maganizo mwathu. Tikamamvera malamulo amenewa ndi kuchita zimene Iye amatilamula kuchita, chifukwa timamukonda, Iye amabwera kudzakhala mwa ife (Yohane 14:23). Kenako Mzimu udzatisonyeza zimene Mulungu watikonzera.
Mulungu amatipatsa Mzimu Wake tikamamumvera, monga momwe zalembedwera pa Machitidwe 5:32. Onse amene akutsogoleredwa ndi Mzimu umenewu ndi ana a Mulungu. Uwu ndi Mzimu Woyera, umene udzakhala Mzimu wa nthawi mkati mwa Zaka Chikwi ndi umuyaya wonse. Pamene izi kwenikweni kukhala momveka kwa ife, osati monga chinachake tili monga chidziwitso, ndiye, monga Paulo, tidzaona zonse m'dzikoli monga zopanda pake poyerekeza ndi kudziwa Khristu (Afilipi 3:8).
Yesu akulankhula za "chuma chenicheni"
Mu Luka 16:10-13 (NLT) Yesu akunena chinachake chokhudza "chuma chenicheni" chimene tiyenera kusungadi m'mitima yathu:
"Ngati muli okhulupirika m'zinthu zazing'ono, mudzakhala okhulupirika mwa akuluakulu. Koma ngati ndinu wosaona mtima m'zinthu zazing'ono, simudzakhala woona mtima ndi maudindo aakulu. Ndipo ngati ndinu wosadalirika ponena za chuma cha dziko, kodi ndani adzakukhulupirirani ndi chuma chenicheni cha kumwamba? Ndipo ngati simuli wokhulupirika ndi zinthu za anthu ena, kodi nchifukwa ninji muyenera kukhulupiriridwa ndi zinthu zanu? Palibe amene angatumikire ambuye awiri. Pakuti mudzadana ndi mmodzi ndi kukonda wina; mudzakhala odzipereka kwa wina ndi kunyoza wina. Simungathe kutumikira Mulungu ndi kukhala akapolo a ndalama."
Tiyenera kukhala okhulupirika kotheratu ndi olungama m'zinthu zonse, zazikulu ndi zazing'ono, kwa moyo wathu wonse—kunyumba ndi m'tchalitchi, kuntchito ndi panthawi yathu yaulere, m'zobisika komanso poyera.
Yesu anali kunena za ndalama ndi zinthu zina za padziko lapansi, ndipo anthu ambiri ndi akapolo a zinthu zoterozo, koma Iye akunenanso za mbali zina zonse za moyo wathu. Palibe amene angatumikire ambuye awiri. Zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti palibe amene angatumikire Mulungu ndipo panthaŵi imodzimodziyo amafuna chuma cha padziko lapansi. Ngati muyesa kuchita zimenezi, moyo wanu udzangokhala bodza lalikulu ndipo mapeto anu adzakhala monga momwe zalembedwera pa Mateyu 7:21-23 (NLT):
"Si aliyense amene amandiitana kuti, 'Ambuye! Ambuye!' adzalowa mu Ufumu wa Kumwamba. Okhawo amene amachitadi chifuniro cha Atate wanga wakumwamba ndi amene adzalowa. Pa tsiku lachiweruzo ambiri adzandiuza kuti, 'Ambuye! Ambuye! Tinalosera m'dzina lanu ndi kutulutsa ziwanda m'dzina lanu ndi kuchita zozizwitsa zambiri m'dzina lanu.' Koma ndidzayankha kuti, 'Sindinakudziweni konse. Chokani kwa ine, inu amene mukuphwanya malamulo a Mulungu.'"
Chuma chenicheni ndi zipatso za Mzimu
Timatumikira Mbuye mmodzi yekha, ndipo tifunikira kumvetsera ndi kukhala ndi makutu otseguka kuti timve zomwe Iye akufuna kutiuza m'mikhalidwe yonse. Pamenepo Iye angatipatse chuma chenicheni chimene chili chosatha ndi chimene chili chithandizo chenicheni kwa anthu. Timapeza chuma chenicheni mwa kukhala okhulupirika ndi osagonja pamene tiyesedwa kuchimwa. Kenaka ife "timafa ku uchimo", ndipo chinachake chatsopano chimabwera m'malo mwake - chikhalidwe cha Yesu, kapena chipatso cha Mzimu, chikuwonekera mwa ife (2 Akorinto 4:10).
Moyo watsopanowu umene timapeza si chinthu chomwe timangoganiza, koma ndi chinthu chomwe anthu ozungulira ine amatha kuwona ndikukumana nacho (1 Yohane 1:1-3). M'malo mokumana ndi zofuna ndi dyera kuchokera kwa ine, adzawona zipatso zaulemerero monga chifundo, ubwino, chimwemwe, kuyamikira, chisamaliro, ndi zina zotero. Zipatso zonsezi zili ku ulemerero wa Mulungu.
Zipatso za Mzimu ndizo chuma chenicheni chomwe chili cha mtengo wosatha ndipo ndicho kuchiritsa kwenikweni kwa amitundu. Chuma chimenechi chimakula ngati titumikira Mulungu tokha ndikukhala ndi moyo wathu pamaso pake (Akolose 3:1). Ndiyeno Baibulo limalonjeza kuti tidzakula m'zonse zabwino, ndi kukhala othandiza kwa Mulungu, okonzeka nthaŵi zonse ku ntchito iliyonse yabwino. (2 Timoteyo 2:21.)
