"Kuvutika pamodzi ndi ine ngati msilikali wabwino wa Khristu Yesu. Msilikali amene ali pa ntchito yogwira ntchito sagwidwa ndi bizinesi ya moyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku. Akufuna kusangalatsa amene anamulemba." 2 Timoteyo 2:3-4 (FBV).
Baibulo lonse limanena za adani, ndi nkhondo, ndi za kutenga nkhondo. Tiyenera kukumbukira kuti tikulimbana ndi nkhondo yauzimu. Tikulimbana ndi "... mphamvu ndi maulamuliro ndi olamulira a mdima ndi mphamvu m'dziko lauzimu." Aefeso 6:12 (CEV). M'dziko lapansi zinthu zimakhala zamdima, zosalungama kwambiri ndi zodzaza ndi uchimo, koma timaitanidwa kukamenya nkhondo kumbali ina. Tikulimbana ndi chiyero, chilungamo, chifuniro cha Mulungu m'dziko lodzala ndi anthu oipa ndi ochimwa. (Aroma 12:2; Afilipi 2:15.)
Ndi moyo wa zochita zimene Mkristu aliyense ayenera kukhala nazo. Ndi ntchito yathu kusonyeza kuti chifuniro cha Mulungu n'changwiro. Tiyenera kutsogolera nkhondo yolimbana ndi Satana ndi gulu lake lankhondo loipa, amene akufuna kukhala ndi ulamuliro wonse pa dziko. Tiyenera kuwaletsa kutenga ulamuliro kwathunthu ndikuwapangitsa kukhala ovuta kuti akwaniritse cholinga chawo. Tiyenera kukhala kuwala ndi mchere m'dzikoli. (Mateyu 5:13-16.)
Ndiye kodi munthu mmodzi angasinthe bwanji?
Nkhondo yauzimu m'moyo wanu
Mukhoza kusintha zinthu mwa kukhala wokhulupirika pa moyo wanu. Ngati mumakonda Yesu kuposa china chilichonse, ndipo mumangofuna kumusangalatsa ndiye kuti mudzachita zonse kuti mukondweretse Iye. Ndipo mdani ndi chirichonse chimene chikufuna kubwera pakati pa inu ndi Yesu.
Uchimo ndi chirichonse chimene chimatsutsana ndi Mawu a Mulungu ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu ndipo chimaswa kugwirizana pakati pa ife ndi Mulungu. Timayesedwa kuchimwa ndi zilakolako zauchimo m'chibadwa chathu chaumunthu, ndipo Satana amagwiritsira ntchito ziyeso zimenezi kuyesa kutipangitsa kuchimwa. Amapangitsa tchimo kuwoneka labwino, ngati chinachake chomwe chidzatipangitsa kumva bwino, koma chowonadi chokhudza uchimo ndi chakuti chimaswa kugwirizana kwathu ndi Mulungu ndikuchotsa dalitso lomwe limachokera ku mgwirizano umenewo. M'malo mwake, zimangobweretsa kuvutika, khungu, kupwetekedwa, ndi zinthu zina zambiri zoipa m'miyoyo yathu.
Zalembedwa pa Yohane 10:10 (NCV) kuti "wakuba amabwera kudzaba ndi kupha ndi kuwononga, koma ndinabwera kudzapereka moyo—moyo mu kukhuta kwake konse." Wakuba amene Yesu akulankhula pano ndi Satana. Koma kenako Yesu akunena kuti Iye wabwera kudzatibweretsera moyo mu kukhuta kwake konse! Moyo wokhuta wake wonse ndi umene timapeza tikamalimbana ndi mdani ameneyu. Pamene tiwona ziyeso zathu monga nkhondo yolimbana ndi mphamvu za mdima zomwe zikufuna kulamulira dziko lino lapansi, ndiye kuti timamvetsetsa chifukwa chake Baibulo limalankhula mwamphamvu kwambiri za kupambana, ndi kugonjetsa, ndi kukhala msilikali. Chilakiko chimodzi pa uchimo m'miyoyo yathu ndicho chilakiko pa zoipa m'dziko. Nkhondoyo si moyo wathu wokha.
Sitikungolimbana tokha. Tikulimbana ndi kumanga thupi la Khristu. (Aroma 12:5.) Aliyense amene akumenya nkhondo yauzimu imeneyi ndi mbali ya thupi la Khristu. Timalimbana wina ndi mnzake, kulimbitsa ndi kumanga wina ndi mnzake. Tikamaganizira kwambiri za kugwira ntchito pa chitukuko chathu ndi kupitiriza kuchita zimene zalembedwa m'Baibulo, ndiye kuti timadzipulumutsa ku uchimo ndi anthu amene amatimva. (1 Timoteyo 4:16.) Pamenepo Mulungu angatigwiritse ntchito pochita zabwino, kukhala chitsanzo kwa aliyense amene akukumana nafe. (Aroma 6:12.) Tikhoza kukhala fungo lokoma la moyo wotsogolera ku moyo, fungo lokoma la Khristu pakati pa omwe akupulumutsidwa. (2 Akorinto 2:15-16.)
Moyo wosatha
Pamene tikupita patsogolo pa njira imeneyi timakhala amoyo kwambiri mu mzimu wathu, ndipo umenewu ndi mzimu wosatha umene umatsogolera ku moyo wosatha. Pamene tigonja ku chiyeso ndi kulola Satana ndi uchimo kuloŵa m'miyoyo yathu, pamenepo mzimu wathu umakhala wodetsedwa, ndi kuti kugwirizana kosatha ndi Atate ndi Mwana kwatayika. (Aefeso 2:1.) Kugonjera ku uchimo ndi kutaya kosatha; si mphindi yochepa chabe ya kuchimwa yomwe mungachire mwamsanga. Simungathe kukhala ndi moyo mphindi imeneyo kachiwiri. Simudzakhalanso ndi mwaŵi wa kupeza zina za moyo waumulungu zimene mukanalandira panthaŵiyo. Ndipo ngati tipitiriza kugonjera ku uchimo, kukhalamo, kumatsogolera ku imfa. (Yakobo 1:14-15.) Imeneyi si imfa yakuthupi yokha. Tonsefe timafa mwakuthupi, koma awo amene apangidwa kukhala amoyo mumzimu wawo amapita kukanakhala ndi Mpulumutsi wawo. Awo amene anaswa kugwirizana kwawo ndi Mulungu ndi kupitiriza kuchimwa adzathera umuyaya wonse ndi chikhumbo chachikulu cha kugwirizana ndi Mulungu ndi ubwino Wake, koma sadzatha kuupeza. Imeneyi ndi imfa yauzimu, zotsatira za uchimo. (Aroma 6:20-23.) Chimenecho ndicho chinthu choipitsitsa chimene chingakuchitikireni! N'chifukwa chake uchimo ndi mdani wamkulu kwambiri.
Koma pano ndi tsopano, pamene tikukhala padziko lapansi pano, tingasankhe kulimbana ndi uchimo. Kumenya Satana nthawi iliyonse yomwe tikuyesedwa. Tili ndi mwayi waukulu pano, choncho tisatembenuke kwa Mulungu chifukwa timapusitsidwa ndi Satana ndi uchimo. M'malomwake tingakhale ndi mfuu yofanana mumtima mwathu imene Yesu anali nayo yakuti: "Ndine pano, kuchita chifuniro chanu, Mulungu." (Ahebri 10:7, GNB.) Kenaka timachita chifuniro Chake, ndipo timapeza moyo wosatha wochuluka mwa ife. N'zosakayikitsa kuti chiyeso chilichonse chidzakhala chilakiko pamene Mulungu ali kumbali yathu. Iye ali ndi mphamvu zonse kumwamba ndi padziko lapansi, ndipo Iye angatipatse zonse zimene timafunikira kuti tigonjetse mdani. Ndipo kenaka timasonyeza ndi miyoyo yathu kuti njira ya Mulungu yokha ndiyo yabwino ndi yangwiro. Ndipo dalitso limene timapeza chifukwa chomenyera Nkhondo Iye mokhulupirika nloposa mmene tingaganizire.
