Kuyang'anira ndi kupemphera kumatanthauza kukhala maso ndi kukhala maso tsiku lonse kuti tione pamene uchimo ukudikirira pakhomo la mtima wathu, kufuna kutigwira. (Genesis 4:7.) Zikutanthauza kuti tili ndi mgwirizano wokhazikika ndi Mulungu; kuti tipite kwa Iye kaamba ka mphamvu yogonjetsa tchimo lonse limene tikuyesedwa.
"Yang'anirani ndi kupemphera. Pamenepo simudzagwera mu uchimo pamene mukuyesedwa. Mzimu ndi wofunitsitsa. Koma thupi ndi lofooka." —Mateyu 26:41.
Tiyenera kukhala maso ndi maso. Satana nthaŵi zonse amayembekezera mwaŵi wa kubwera. Ngati sitikuyang'anira ngakhale kamphindi, zimampatsa nthaŵi imene wakhala akuyembekezera. Chikhumbo chonse cha Satana ndicho kutipatutsa kwa Mulungu. Ngati tikuyang'ana ndi kupemphera, ndiye kuti nthawi zonse tikhoza kumutsutsa, olimba m'chikhulupiriro chathu, podziwa kuti ubale wathu padziko lonse lapansi umadutsa mitundu yofanana ya kuvutika. (1 Petro 5:8-9.)
Tili ndi zilakolako ndi zikhumbo zauchimo m'chibadwa chathu chaumunthu zimene zimafuna kutikokera ku zinthu zimene sizikondweretsa Mulungu. Tingangowagonjetsa ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu. Yesu anakumana ndi chinthu chomwecho pamene Iye anakhala padziko lapansi. Anayenera kupemphera ndi kulira kwamphamvu ndi misozi kwa Atate Wake. Nayenso anayenera kukhala maso ndi maso kuti uchimo usalowe mumtima Mwake. (Ahebri 5:7.)
Tiyenera kukhala ndi mgwirizano ndi Mulungu kuyambira nthawi yomwe timadzuka mpaka nthawi yomwe tidzagonanso. N'zoona kuti sitingathe kukhala pa mawondo athu tsiku lonse, ndipo tili ndi zinthu zambiri zoti tichite, koma tiyenera kukhala pa ubwenzi ndi Mulungu kuti nthawi zonse tipite kwa Iye kuti atithandize, kupeza chifuniro Chake ndi kupeza mphamvu zochitira zimenezo. Zida zimene Yesu anagwiritsira ntchito, kuti agonjetse pamene Iye anayesedwa, zinali pemphero ndi Mawu a Mulungu. Satana alibe chida chimene chingagonjetse zida zimene Mulungu amatipatsa.
Pali vesi m'nyimbo ya ana lomwe limati,
"Mtima wanu uli ngati munda umeneJesus amabzala mbewu Zake. Samalani kuti Satana asabwere ndi kubzala namsongole wina wonyansa."
Tikakhala maso ndi kugalamuka, tidzatha kuona pamene Satana akuyesetsa "kubzala namsongole wina wonyansa" mumtima mwathu. Ndiyeno tiyenera kupemphera kwa Mulungu kuti atithandize kutulutsa mbewu zonse zoipazo kuti zisayambe kukula m'mitima yathu. Sizidzawoneka nthawi zonse ngati machimo akuluakulu, omveka. Nthawi zambiri Satana amayesetsa kuzembera ndi zinthu "zosavulaza," machimo ang'onoang'ono amene saoneka ngati aakulu kwambiri. Ndikofunika kukhala maso kuti tithe kuona kuti mayesero ang'onoang'ono onsewo ndi oopsa kwambiri.
Tangoganizirani za mikhalidwe yonse yomwe timalowa ndi zokambirana zomwe timachita nawo. Kodi ndi malingaliro otani amene timalola kuloŵa m'maganizo mwathu mkati mwa nthaŵi zino? Khalani maso ndi kukhala maso kaamba ka Satana ndi namsongole wake wonyansa!
"Pomaliza, anzanga, dzazani maganizo anu ndi zinthu zabwino ndi zoyenera kutamandidwa: zinthu zoona, zolemekezeka, zabwino, zoyera, zokongola, ndi zolemekezeka." Afilipi 4:8. Ngati tichita ndendende zimene zalembedwa m'vesi limeneli tsiku lililonse, ndiye kuti Satana alibe mpata wolowamo.
Mosasamala kanthu za zimene tikuchita, tiyenera kuyang'ana ndi kupemphera kuti mitima yathu ikhale yoyera ndi yoyera. Mulungu watiitana ku moyo wabwino kwambiri umenewu! Sitiyenera kulola chilichonse kulowa ndi kuwononga zimene tapatsidwa.
