"Mulungu amatsutsana ndi onyada, koma Iye amapereka chisomo kwa odzichepetsa." 1 Petro 5:5-6 (NCV). Kodi zimenezi zikutanthauzanji kwenikweni m'moyo wanga wa tsiku ndi tsiku?
Ineyo pandekha, ndaona kuti nthawi zonse ndimadziganizira kwambiri. Nazi zitsanzo zina za zomwe ndingapeze kuti ndikuganiza kuti: "Ndine wolondola - njira yanga ndithudi ndi njira yoyenera." "Munthu ameneyo akufunikadi kumvetsera mfundo yanga pakali pano." "N'chifukwa chiyani nthawi zonse amachita kapena kunena zimenezi kapena zimenezo? Zimangosonyeza kuti akuganiza zonsezi molakwika."
Ndikhoza kukhala wotanganidwa kwambiri ndi izi zomwe zimatchedwa "zabwinobwino", malingaliro achilengedwe, kuti ndizovuta kuti ndiwone kuti onse akuwonetsa momveka bwino momwe ndimanyadira kwenikweni!
Ndili ndi zolakwa
"Ndipo ndikudziwa kuti palibe chabwino chimene chimakhala mwa ine, ndiko kuti, mu chikhalidwe changa chochimwa ..." Aroma 7:18 (NLT). Baibulo limatiuza kuti munthu aliyense wabadwa ndi uchimo, ndipo Paulo akunena m'makalata ake kuti palibe chabwino chimene chingabwere kuchokera ku uchimo umenewo.
Tidzaona zinthu m'chibadwa chathu chaumunthu zimene zimatsutsana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu. Mwachitsanzo, chikhumbo cha kukhala wolemera, kukhala ndi mphamvu kapena chipambano m'dzikoli chimatsutsana mwachindunji ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu, chifukwa chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa ife ndicho kukhala odzichepetsa mtima. (Mateyu 11:28-30.) Kapena tingaone zinthu zimene zimatsutsana kwambiri ndi chifuniro Chake, monga mkwiyo, kukwiya ndi kudzudzula ena.
Paulo analemba mu Aroma 7 kuti amadana ndi zinthu zimenezi akaziona. (Aroma 7:17.)
Chikhumbo chake chonse chinali kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu chokha, ndipo m'mutu uno tikuwona chinachake cha kulimbana kumeneku pakati pa chikhumbo chake chofuna kuchita zabwino, ndi zoipa zimene anaona mwa iye mwini.
Ngakhale kuti n'kwachibadwa kuti anthu akhale ndi maganizo ndi zikhoterero zauchimo, zimenezo sizikutanthauza kuti ziyenera kukhala choncho! Yesu anatitheketsa kumasuka ku malingaliro ameneŵa, ndipo Paulo analemba mowonjezereka kuti, "Mabwenzi anga okondedwa, sitiyenera kukhala ndi moyo kuti tikhutiritse zikhumbo zathu. Mukatero, mudzafa. Koma mudzakhala ndi moyo, ngati mothandizidwa ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu mumati "Ayi" ku zilakolako zanu." Aroma 8:12-13 (CEV).
Mzimu wa Mulungu umatisonyeza mofatsa mbali za m'miyoyo yathu zimene sizili monga momwe Mulungu akufunira. Mulungu akandisonyeza zinthu zimenezi ndipo ndimaziona bwino kwambiri, ndikhoza kuchitapo kanthu. Ndikhoza kupemphera kwa Mulungu kuti andithandize kukana malingaliro amenewa omwe amachokera ku chifuniro changa ndi zokhumba zanga, ndipo m'malo mwake ndikusankha kuchita zomwe zalembedwa m'Mawu a Mulungu ndipo zomwe ndikudziwa ndi chifuniro Chake. Kwenikweni zimenezi n'zimene zimatanthauza kudzichepetsa. Pamene ndikupitirizabe kuchita zimenezi, ndimakhala womasuka kwambiri ku chifuniro changa ndi zikhumbo zanga, zimene ndimadana nazo chifukwa chakuti zimatsutsana ndi zimene Mulungu akufuna.
Kwa ine, zonsezi zikutanthauza kuti ndiyenera kudzipereka kwa Mulungu ndi kuyembekezera pa Iye. Sindingathe kuzungulira ndi malingaliro onyada komanso akuluakulu za ine ndekha ngati ndikumvetsetsa kuti "palibe chabwino chimene chimakhala mwa ine, ndiko kuti, mu chikhalidwe changa chochimwa". N'zoona kuti zimenezi sizikutanthauza kuti inenso ndiyenera kukhumudwa kapena kuvutika maganizo ndi zimenezi, chifukwa zimenezo si chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa ine.
Ayi, Mulungu akufuna kundisintha kuti ndikhale womasuka kotheratu ku zoipa zimene zili m'chibadwa changa chaumunthu. Kuti ndichite izi, Iye amandiwonetsa madera omwe akufunika kusintha ndipo Iye adzandipatsa chisomo chonse ndi thandizo lomwe ndikufunikira kuti ndibwere kwaulere kwa iwo. Kukhala wodzichepetsa kumatanthauza kuti ndimakhulupirira momwe Mulungu amagwirira ntchito ndi ine kuti andisonyeze madera osiyanasiyana awa ndikuti ndimakhulupirira Iye kuti andipatse chisomo chonse ndi thandizo lomwe ndikufunikira kuti ndichite zinthu mosiyana.
Enanso ali ndi zolakwa
M'kupita kwa nthawi, ndimaona kuti pali zambiri m'chibadwa changa chaumunthu zomwe sizikondweretsa Mulungu, ndipo ndimayamba kuona mmene Mulungu wakhalira woleza mtima kwambiri komanso wachifundo ndi ine! Zimenezi zimandiphunzitsa kuti ndiyeneranso kusonyeza chifundo ndi chifundo chofananacho kwa ena. Paulo analemba kuti, "Chifukwa chake tsopano palibe kutsutsidwa kwa iwo amene ali mwa Kristu Yesu, amene sayenda monga mwa thupi [chibadwa chawo chaumunthu chochimwa], koma monga mwa Mzimu." Aroma 8:1.
Mwina ndingaganize kuti zimene anthu ena akuchita kapena kunena n'zolakwika ndipo ndikudziwa mmene ayenera kuchitira kapena kunena mosiyana, koma Mzimu wa Mulungu sugwira ntchito choncho. M'malo mwake, Iye amandiphunzitsa kukhala woleza mtima ndi kupirira zolakwa za ena modzichepetsa ndi mwachifundo. N'chifukwa chake timapatsidwa lamulo losavuta kuchokera pa Ulaliki wa pa Phiri lakuti, "Musaweruze ena, ndipo simudzaweruzidwa." Mateyu 7:1-2 (NLT). Mawu amenewa ndi odzala ndi nzeru. Tangolingalirani mmene dziko lingakhalire lamtendere kwambiri ngati aliyense akanakhulupirira mawu ameneŵa ndi kuwachita!
Pakadali pano, Mzimu adzandiwonetsa zolakwa zanga - kusaleza mtima kwanga, komwe ndimaweruza ena kapena kunyada kwanga - ndipo Iye amandiwonetsa momwe ndingawagonjetsere. M'mikhalidwe yanga, ndiyenera kuganizira kwambiri kumene ineyo ndikufunika kusintha. Pamenepo, ngati ndiwona zinthu mwa ena ndipo ndikhoza kulankhula nawo za izo chifukwa cha chikondi chenicheni, kungakhale dalitso kunena chinachake. Komabe, ndi nkhani yosiyana ngati ndikulankhula nawo za zolakwa zawo ndi zolakwa zawo chifukwa cha kukhumudwa, mkwiyo kapena malingaliro anga onyada.
Kunyada nthawi zambiri ndi chinthu chobisika kwambiri. Ndimaziwona m'njira yomwe ndimaganizira za ine ndekha, momwe ndimaganizira za ena komanso momwe ndimalolera Mulungu kugwira ntchito m'moyo wanga. Koma pali vesi limene lili ngati mgwirizano pakati pa ine ndi Mulungu: "Mulungu amatsutsana ndi onyada, koma Iye amapereka chisomo kwa odzichepetsa." Ngati sindili maso ndi kungopitiriza ndi malingaliro onsewa onyada, Mulungu adzakhala wotsutsana nane. Ndi chinthu choopsa kwambiri kuti Mulungu achotse chisomo Chake pa moyo wanga, chifukwa chakuti sindinafune kudzichepetsa!
Koma ngati ndikudzipereka kwa Mulungu pa chilichonse - ngati ndikulola Iye kukhala mutu wanga ndi mtsogoleri wanga, ndikuvomereza kuti Iye wandipatsa zonse ndipo adzandipatsa thandizo lonse lomwe ndikufunikira - ndiye kuti ndidzapeza chisomo pa moyo wanga! Chimenecho ndi chinthu choyembekezeradi!
