Munthu: thupi, moyo ndi mzimu
Munthu aliyense ali ndi thupi, moyo ndi mzimu. Umu ndi mmene Mulungu analengera aliyense wa ife:
"Ndipo Ambuye Mulungu anapanga munthu kuchokera kufumbi la dziko lapansi, kupuma mwa iye mpweya wa moyo: ndipo munthu anakhala moyo wamoyo." Genesis 2:7. M'Baibulo lina linalembedwa kuti " mzimu wa moyo".
Thupi lathu linapangidwa ndi fumbi la dziko lapansi, ndipo thupi lathu limasungidwa lamoyo ndi zinthu zimene zimakula kuchokera padziko lapansi. Ndi thupi lathu tikulankhulana ndi zinthu zonse zakuthupi zomwe zapangidwa.
Pachiyambi Mulungu anapuma mzimu wa moyo mwa munthu. Ndi mzimu wathu tikulankhulana ndi Mulungu. Munthu sanakhale munthu wamoyo ndi moyo mpaka Mulungu anapuma mzimu wa moyo m'thupi lake. Moyo ndi moyo wathu - zotsatira za thupi ndi mzimu zomwe zinakhala imodzi. Ndi moyo wathu tikulankhulana ndi anthu.
Olekanitsidwa ndi Mulungu
Mulungu anafuna kutitsogolera ndi mzimu wathu; koma kenako kugwa kunabwera, ndipo tinalekanitsidwa ndi Iye. Munthu anayamba kukhala mogwirizana ndi zilakolako ndi zilakolako za m'thupi lake. (Genesis 3:6.) M'malo mwa thupi lotsogoleredwa ndi mzimu potumikira Mulungu, thupi linayamba kutsogolera m'malo mwake. Ndipo mzimu mwa munthu unakhala kapolo wa zilakolako ndi zikhumbo zauchimo m'chibadwa cha munthu, zimene zinachititsa kulekana ndi Mulungu.
Chotsatira cha kugwa ndi ziphuphu zonse ndi zoipa zomwe tikuwona padziko lapansi. Chivundi chili m'dziko chifukwa cha zilakolako zoipa za munthu (2 Petro 1:4).
Kupanda kanthu kosatha
Chifukwa chakuti thupi linatenga utsogoleri, tinakhala padziko lapansi mwachibadwa - osati mwauzimu. Moyo wathu - womwe umakhudzidwa ndi malingaliro athu akuthupi, ndi zomwe timawona ndi kumva - makamaka zimakhala ndi chidwi ndi zinthu zowoneka. Chifukwa cha zimenezi, moyo wathu umasumika maganizo pa zinthu zimene zinalengedwa, ndipo mwachibadwa timayang'ana zinthu zazikulu m'dzikoli.
Chowonadi nchakuti timakhala osakhazikika pamene kuli ngati kumeneku, ndipo timavutika pansi pa kupanda kanthu kwa dziko lino, popeza kuti mzimu wathu sungakhoze konse kukhala wokhutira kapena wokhutira ndi zinthu zimene zinalengedwa. Sitikumvetsa mwachibadwa izi chifukwa cha mdima umene tili nawo, ndipo chifukwa chake timayang'ana zododometsa ndi zosangalatsa zomwe zimangopangitsa kuti zopanda pake zikhale zazikulu. Munthu akhoza kunena kuti ife kulawa gehena mu moyo wathu.
Koma Mulungu sanangotisiya m'boma lino! Iye watipatsa njira yobwerera kwa Iye. "Kapena mukuganiza kuti Malemba amanena popanda chifukwa kuti amalakalaka mwansanje mzimu umene wachititsa kuti tikhale [kukhala] mwa ife; koma Iye amapereka ngakhale chisomo chochuluka.'" Yakobo 4:5.
Kupeza lingaliro la zinthu zauzimu
N'zotheka, kudzera mu kuwala kwa uthenga wabwino, kutembenuzidwa ndi kutembenukira kwa Mulungu. M'malo mokonda zilakolako ndi zilakolako zathu, tikhoza kutenga mtanda wathu tsiku ndi tsiku ndi kukana tokha, monga momwe Yesu akunenera pa Luka 9:23. Mwa kukana zilakolako zauchimo m'chilengedwe chathu, mzimu wathu umamasulidwa ku tchimo la umunthu wathu, ndipo timayanjana ndi Mulungu. Ndipo kenaka, pamene tiyamba kudzidyetsa tokha ndi Mawu a Mulungu ndi pemphero, timalandira nyonga ya kulanga thupi lathu ndi kulilamulira. (1 Akorinto 9:27.)
Zotsatira zake, timakhala auzimu ndipo moyo wathu – moyo wathu – udzakhala m'malo akumwamba. Tidzayamba kupeza lingaliro la zinthu zosaoneka, zomwe ndi zosatha. Timatuluka mu mkhalidwe wosakhazikika umenewo wa kupanda pake ndikuyamba kugwira chuma chosatha chomwe chimapatsa mzimu wathu mpumulo. Timapeza chithunzithunzi cha kumwamba m'moyo wathu! Cholinga chomaliza cha chikhulupiriro chathu n'chakuti moyo wathu udzakhala wopanda kanthu kotheratu ku kupanda kanthu koopsa kumeneku. (1 Petro 1:3-4, 9.)
Ntchito yokwaniritsa
Yesu watiphunzitsa kupemphera kuti: "Ufumu wanu udze. Chifuniro chanu chichitike padziko lapansi monga mmene chikuchitidwira kumwamba." Mateyu 6:10. Yesu anakwaniritsa pemphero limeneli pamene Iye anali pano padziko lapansi. Ananenanso pamene Iye anabwera m'dziko, "Munandikonzera thupi ... Taonani, ndabwera kudzachita chifuniro chanu, Mulungu." Ahebri 10:5-7 .
Tilinso ndi ntchito yokwaniritsa pano padziko lapansi. Talandiranso thupi. Ngati thupi lathu silikutilamulira (ndi zotsatira zake kuti timakhala mogwirizana ndi zilakolako ndi zilakolako zathu zauchimo), koma limaperekedwa ngati nsembe yopatulika ndi yokondweretsa Mulungu (Aroma 12:1), ndiye kuti timafalitsa ufumu wa Mulungu. Timalandira chifuniro cha Mulungu kudzera mwa mzimu wathu, ndipo timachichita ndi thupi lathu. Chotulukapo cha ntchito imeneyi imene imachitika pakati pa mzimu wathu ndi thupi lathu ndicho moyo wakumwamba, moyo umene wakhala womasuka ku zinthu za padziko lapansi.
Imfa sidzakhala ndi mphamvu
Yesu anati: "Choncho musadandaule, kunena kuti 'Tidzadya chiyani?' kapena 'Tidzamwa chiyani?' kapena 'Tidzavala chiyani?' Pakuti pambuyo pa zinthu zonsezi Akunja [osapembedza] amafunafuna ... Koma funani choyamba ufumu wa Mulungu ... ndipo zinthu zonsezi zidzawonjezedwa [zoperekedwa] kwa inu." Mateyu 6:32-33. (Luka 12:27-31.)
Awo amene ali osapembedza amafunafuna zimene thupi limafuna. Ndicho chinthu chimene iwo akuda nkhawa kwambiri. Nyama zimachitanso chimodzimodzi. Koma tiyenera kukhala osiyana. Tiyenera kufunafuna zimene mzimu wathu umafuna. Tiyenera kufunafuna ufumu wa Mulungu choyamba! Ngati tichita zimenezi, ndiye kuti Mulungu adzayang'anira thupi lathu ndipo panthaŵi imodzimodziyo, timapulumutsidwa ku nkhaŵa zonse zimene dziko likuvutika nazo.
Kokha kupyolera m'chipulumutso chimenechi Mulungu wa mtendere angatipangitse kukhala oyera kotheratu, kotero kuti mzimu wathu, moyo, ndi thupi lathu zikhale zokonzeka mwangwiro pa kudza kwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Kristu. (1 Atesalonika 5:23.)
