"Gwirani nkhandwe, nkhandwe zazing'ono, zisanawononge munda wathu wa mpesa mu maluwa." Nyimbo ya Solomo 2:15 .
Mchitidwe uliwonse umayamba ndi lingaliro. Funso ndiloti timachita chiyani ndi lingaliro limeneli. Mofanana ndi nkhandwe zazing'ono zowoneka ngati zopanda mlandu zomwe zimazembera ndikuwononga minda ya mpesa, malingaliro ochimwa amatha kutuluka mwadzidzidzi mwadzidzidzi ndikuyesera kuwononga mitima ndi maganizo athu. Nsanje, kuwawidwa mtima, mkwiyo, kukayikira - malingaliro ngati awa amabwera mwachibadwa kwambiri kwa ife, koma chowonadi ndi chakuti ndi oipa - ndi tchimo. (Agalatiya 5:19-21.) Choncho tiyenera kukhala maso ndi kuwagwira atangofika m'maganizo mwathu, titangowaona mwa ife eni.
Ndikufuna kuchita zabwino koma ...
Koma kodi sitiyenera kukhala Akristu? Kodi tonse sitiyenera kungochita zabwino ndi kukhala ndi malingaliro oyera nthawi zonse? Ndipotu, tikufuna kukhala abwino nthawi zonse, sichoncho?
Paulo akuyankha zimenezi momveka bwino pa Aroma 7:18-20: "Ndikudziwa kuti palibe chabwino pa uchimo wanga. Ndikufuna kuchita zabwino, koma sindingathe. Sindichita zinthu zabwino zimene ndikufuna kuchita. Ndimapitirizabe kuchita zinthu zoipa zimene sindikufuna kuchita. Ndimachita zimene sindikufuna kuchita. Koma sindine kwenikweni amene ndikuchita zimenezo. Ndi tchimo lokhala mwa ine."
Pali chinachake chotchedwa tchimo chimene chimakhala mwa ife! Izi zikumveka zoopsa; koma zinali zofanana kwa Yesu, Iye analinso ndi tchimo lokhala mu chikhalidwe Chake. Iye anayesedwa m'zonse monga ife, koma Iye sanagonje ku uchimo. (Ahebri 4:15-16.) Ndipo tiyenera kutsatira Yesu.
Choncho tikayesedwa kuti tikwiye, mwachitsanzo munthu akapanda kugwirizana nafe, tiyenera kukhala maso kuti tione chiyesocho kenako n'kukana tchimo limene tikuyesedwa. Ndiyeno tikutsatira Yesu. Tenepo tisakwiya na kukhumudwa. Ndiyeno "tikugwira nkhandwe zazing'ono" ndi kuziwononga, ndipo mitima ndi maganizo athu amakhala oyera.
Tiyenera kukhala maso
Kuti tichite zimenezi tiyenera kupita kwa Mulungu ndi kumupempha Iye kuti atithandize kugonjetsa malingaliro ndi ziyeso zauchimo zimenezo. Paulo akutiuzanso pa Aefeso 4:17 kuti, "M'dzina la Ambuye, ndiye, ndikukuchenjezani kuti: musapitirize kukhala ngati anthu akunja, amene maganizo awo ndi opanda pake."
Ngati lingaliro lodetsedwa libwera, izi sizikutipangitsa kukhala odetsedwa, monga momwe nkhandwe zazing'ono zomwe zimayesa kubwera m'munda wa mpesa sizipeza mwayi wowononga mphesa ngati tizigwira panthawi yake. Koma ngati tikufuna kupitirizabe kulingalira malingaliro odetsedwa amenewo, kapena kugonja ku zikhumbo zauchimo zimenezo, pamenepo, ndipo kokha pamenepo, timakhala odetsedwa. Choncho nthawi zonse tiyenera kukhala maso ndi kuyang'anira kuti tithe kujambula lingaliro lililonse lisanakhale ndi mwayi wokula kukhala uchimo. (2 Akorinto 10:3-5; Aefeso 6:10-18.)
Mwanjira imeneyi tingakhale dalitso kwa anthu otizinga. "Koma zikomo kwa Mulungu, amene nthawi zonse amatitsogolera ife mu chigonjetso kudzera mwa Khristu. Mulungu amatigwiritsa ntchito kufalitsa chidziwitso chake kulikonse ngati mafuta onunkhira bwino." 2 Akorinto 2:14.
Tamandani Mulungu kuti n'zotheka kukhala ndi moyo woterewu, kukhala wokondweretsa bwino kwa Iye amene watiitana ndi kutisankha ife kuchokera dziko lisanalengedwe.
