Yesu anatisonyeza njira "Chikhristu chothandiza" pamene Iye anati, "Onse ofuna kubwera pambuyo panga ayenera kukana okha, kutenga mtanda wawo tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi kunditsatira." Luka 9:23 (CEB).
Mungafunse kuti, kodi Chikristu chothandiza nchiyani? Kwa ine, Chikristu chothandiza ndicho chimene chimandithandiza m'banja langa, banja, ndi ntchito. Kapena, munganene, m'moyo wanga wa tsiku ndi tsiku.
Kuyambira ndili wamng'ono ndinayamba kufunafuna cholinga cha moyo. Ndinkafuna kukhala woona mtima, weniweni, ndipo koposa zonse zabwino, koma sindinadziwe momwe. Pamenepo ndi pamene ndinapeza Yesu ndipo Iye anabwera mumtima mwanga ndi chiyembekezo ndi chikhulupiriro. Ndinamva Iye akulankhula mumtima mwanga, ndipo ngati ine ndikanalola Iye, Iye akanandiphunzitsa mmene kukhala moyo woona mtima umenewu kuti ndinkafuna kukhala ndi moyo.
Pamene ndinadzipereka kotheratu kwa Yesu, ndinakumana nazo kuti chisomo chinadza pa ine ndi mphamvu yeniyeni ya kukana zikhumbo zonse zoipa zimene zinandiwononga kale. Monga momwe limanenera pa Tito 2:11-12 (NIRV), "chisomo cha Mulungu tsopano chawonekera. Mwa chisomo chake, Mulungu akudzipereka kupulumutsa anthu onse. Chisomo chake chimatiphunzitsa kukana njira zopanda umulungu ndi zilakolako zauchimo. Tiyenera kudziletsa. Tiyenera kuchita zabwino. Tiyenera kukhala ndi moyo waumulungu m'dziko lamakono."
Mawu a Mulungu akuchita
Zinkaoneka ngati zosatheka kuti Mawu a Mulungu angakhudze mbali iliyonse ya ine, koma anayamba kukhudza maganizo anga, mawu ndi zochita zanga. Ndinayamba kuona kuti si malingaliro onse amene anabwera m'mutu mwanga amene anali amene ndinkafunadi, kukhulupirira, kapena kugwirizana nawo.
Yesu anayamba kundiphunzitsa mmene ndingagwiritsire ntchito malingaliro amenewa ndi kuwachotsa, monga momwe limanenera pa 2 Akorinto 10:4-5 (NCV), "Timalimbana ndi zida zosiyana ndi zomwe dziko limagwiritsa ntchito. Zida zathu zili ndi mphamvu yochokera kwa Mulungu imene ingawononge malo amphamvu a mdani. Timawononga mfundo za anthu ndi chinthu chilichonse chonyadira chomwe chimadzikweza motsutsana ndi chidziwitso cha Mulungu. Timagwira lingaliro lirilonse ndi kulipangitsa kusiya ndi kumvera Kristu."
Werengani zimene Yesu ananena pa Mateyu 7:15-20, koma makamaka vesi 20: "Chifukwa chake mudzawadziwa ndi zipatso zawo." Mavesi ameneŵa anandiuza kuti chikhulupiriro changa chinafunikira ntchito zowonjezeredwa. Mwachitsanzo, nthawi zina ndinazindikira kuti mawu anga akhumudwitsa anthu amene ndimawakonda. Mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti, "Amuna inu, kondani akazi anu, monganso Khristu anakonda mpingo ndi kudzipereka Yekha chifukwa cha iye." Aefeso 5:25. Ganizirani ngati mwamuna aliyense anali ndi izi ngati cholinga chake chaumwini mu ukwati wake; kodi chisudzulo chikakhala chochuluka motani?
Paulo analembanso, pa Akolose 3:19, "Amuna inu, kondani akazi anu ndipo musawakwiyire." Mungadzifunse kuti, kodi ndingayesedwe bwanji kuti ndikwiye ndi munthu amene ndimamukonda kuposa ena onse? Chowonadi nchakuti pali mikhalidwe yovuta ngakhale m'maukwati abwino koposa, ndipo timayesedwa. Kwa ine, mkazi amene Mulungu anandipatsa ndi wangwiro kotheratu kwa ine, choncho zilibe kanthu ndi iye, zimangondikhudza. Vuto si zinthu zazing'ono zonse zimene mkazi wanga amachita zimene zimandikwiyitsa, koma vuto ndi lakuti ndikhoza kukwiya!
Nenani Kuti Ayi ndikutenga mtanda wanga
Pano Yesu ali ndi thandizo lenileni, lothandiza kundipatsa! Iye anandisankha kuti ndikhale wophunzira Wake, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti ndiyenera kuphunzira kukhala ndi moyo monga momwe Iye anakhalira, monga momwe Iye akunenera pa Luka 9:23-24 (CEB): "Onse ofuna kubwera pambuyo panga ayenera kukana okha, kutenga mtanda wawo tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi kunditsatira. Onse amene akufuna kupulumutsa miyoyo yawo adzawataya. Koma onse amene ataya miyoyo yawo chifukwa cha ine adzawapulumutsa." Kuwawidwa mtima ndi mkwiyo zimene ndimafuna zimachokera ku chifuniro changa, kapena "moyo" wanga. Koma zimakhala zosatheka kukwiya ndikatenga mtanda wanga ndi kunena kuti Ayi ku chifuniro changa.
Imodzi mwa mawu aakulu kwambiri a Mulungu amene ndawerengapo ndi 1 Timoteyo 4:16 (CEB): "Muziganizira kwambiri za kugwira ntchito pa chitukuko chanu komanso zimene mumaphunzitsa. Mukachita zimenezi, mudzadzipulumutsa nokha ndi amene akukumvani." Paulo sakulemba pano za kukhululukidwa kwa machimo koma akulemba za kumasulidwa ku mphamvu ya uchimo imene idakali m'chilengedwe changa machimo anga atakhululukidwa.
Ndikayang'ana pa kugwira ntchito pa chitukuko changa, ndiye kuti ndimatha kuvomereza kuti kudzifunira kwanga, kapena monga momwe Yesu adachitchulira, moyo wanga, umagwira ntchito pazochitika kunyumba kapena kuntchito, ndiyeno ndikhoza kupempha thandizo kwa Iye yemwe angatithandize bwino, monga momwe zafotokozedwera mu Ahebri 4: 15-16 (NCV): "Pakuti mkulu wa ansembe wathu amatha kumvetsa zofooka zathu. Iye anayesedwa m'njira iliyonse imene ife tiri, koma sanachimwe. Choncho, tiyeni tikhale otsimikiza kwambiri kuti tingabwere pamaso pa mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu kumene kuli chisomo. Kumeneko tingalandire chifundo ndi chisomo kuti zitithandize pamene tikufunikira."
Gwira nchito!
Izi zagwiradi ntchito m'moyo wanga. Kaŵirikaŵiri ndinali wosaleza mtima kapena wovuta ndi mkazi wanga ndi ena, ndipo ndinali ndi zofuna pa iwo. Ndinamva chisoni kwambiri ndi zimene ndinanena kapena mmene ndinanenera, koma kutulutsa mawu amenewo m'kamwa mwanga, "Pepani, chonde ndikhululukireni," zinali pafupifupi zosatheka. Sindinathe kunena. Kunyada kwanga kunali kwakukulu kwambiri ndipo kudzikonda kwanga kunali kwakukulu kwambiri.
Koma mwa chisomo chachikulu cha Mulungu ndinapeza njira yanga yopita ku "mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu kumene kuli chisomo", kumene Yesu anandipatsa thandizo pamene ndinafunikira ndipo ndinapeza mphamvu yotenga mtanda wanga, kudzichepetsa ndekha ndi kunena kuti, "Pepani, chonde ndikhululukireni." Nthaŵi yoyamba inalidi yopweteka ndi yovuta kwambiri, koma chotulukapo chake chinali mtendere ndi dalitso.
Mulungu anandipangitsanso kuzindikira kwambiri kuti ndiwone zosowa zanga ndi zophophonya ndisanagwe, ndipo tsopano, kupyolera mu chisomo mwa Khristu Yesu, ndimakhala ndi moyo wogonjetsa!
Inde, Chikhristu choona kwenikweni ndi chophweka ichi, ndi chomwe chiri chabwino kwambiri - chimagwira ntchito!
