Tikukhala m’dziko loipitsidwa kwambiri moti masiku ano ndi manyazi kukhala moyo woopa Mulungu, Mulungu akudalitsa moyo wako; koma posachedwapa kudzakhala ulemu kwamuyaya. Tiyeni tilowe pansi pa chophimba cha manyazi chimenechi monga momwe tingathere, chifukwa Khristu, aneneri, ndi oyera mtima onse akhalapo pamenepo (Yesaya 4:5).
Anthu ambiri amayesetsa kuteteza ana awo momwe angathere kuti asakumane ndi chitonzo chimene chimadza chifukwa chotsatira Khristu (Ahebri 11:26), powalola kuti azitsatira kwambiri mzimu wa nthawi ino.

Mulungu watiika ana athu m’manja mwathu kuti tiwateteze ku zoipa ndi kuwaphunzitsa mfundo zamuyaya.
Mzimu wa m’nthawi yathu ino ndi woopsa kwambiri kuposa kale lonse, ndipo zimene zimaonedwa kuti n’zachibadwa komanso zamakono nthawi zambiri zimakhala zachiwerewere ndiponso zosalemekeza Mulungu. Ngati sitithandiza ana athu kuti adzipatule ku zisonkhezero zimenezi akadali aang’ono, zidzawayendera movutikira kwambiri m’tsogolo. Ndi dalitso lalikulu akayamba kusakonda njira ndi mfundo za dziko lapansi.
“Ino tsopano ndi nthawi yachiweruzo pa dziko lapansi; tsopano wolamulira wa dziko lapansi adzathamangitsidwa.” Yohane 12:31. Yesu ndi atumwi anathamangitsa wolamulira wa dziko lino lapansi (Satana), ndipo tsopano ndi ntchito yathu kuchita chimodzimodzi. Tiyeni timuthamangitse kulikonse kumene tikuona njira zake ndi chikhalidwe chake zikugwira ntchito. Yesu anati, “Ine sindilankhulanso nanu zambiri, nthawi yaitali popeza wolamulira dziko lapansi akubwera. Iye alibe mphamvu pa ine.” Yohane 14:30. Komanso, pasapezeke chilichonse chake mwa ife. Tiyenera kulimbika mtima ndi kudzipereka ndi mtima wonse pankhondo yathu ngati tikufuna kuti tipambane. Sitingathe kugonjetsa Satana ngati ali mumtima mwathu; koma tikakhala ndi mtima woyera ndipo Khristu ali Ambuye mwa ife, nkhondoyi idzapambana kotheratu.
Anthu ambiri amapemphera chaka ndi chaka kuti chitsitsimutso chichitike, ndipo amayembekezera kuti chidzabwera mwanjira ina kapena ina. Koma ngati tilidi ziwalo za thupi la Khristu, ndiye kuti chitsitsimutso chili mkati mwathu ndipo chimapita nafe kulikonse kumene tipita. Ndipo tidzadzimva kukhala ogwirizana ndi anthu onse a Mulungu amene akhala ndi moyo mu mzimu ndi moto wa chitsitsimutso ndipo apambana.
