Bwana akalowa...
Kawirikawiri, timagwira ntchito molimbika pang'ono pamene bwana alowa. Timachita izi pafupifupi popanda kuganiza ndipo sizingawoneke ngati chinthu chachikulu. Koma kwenikweni limasonyeza choonadi chakuya ponena za ife eni: timabadwa ndi chibadwa chosamalira kwambiri zimene ena amatiganizira. Apo ayi, tikanakhala tikugwira ntchito mwakhama nthawi yonseyi!
Paulo anamvetsetsa chibadwa cha munthu ndipo anadziŵa bwino lomwe kufooka kumeneku. Iye akulemba za izo momveka bwino kwambiri m'makalata ake ambiri. Mu Aefeso, iye akulemba momveka bwino za momwe ife monga ophunzira a Yesu tiyenera kutumikira ndi kugwira ntchito:
"... osati kokha kuti apeze chiyanjo chawo pamene diso lawo lili pa inu, koma monga akapolo [atumiki] a Kristu, akuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu kuchokera mumtima mwanu. Tumikirani ndi mtima wonse, ngati kuti mukutumikira Ambuye, osati anthu." Aefeso 6:6-7 (NIV).
Ngati tili otanganidwa kwambiri ndi malingaliro a anthu ena ndi zomwe amatiganizira, ndi kuda nkhawa ndi kusangalatsa aliyense nthawi zonse, ndiye kuti sitingamve zomwe Mulungu akufuna kutiuza m'mikhalidwe.

Kodi ndine mtumiki wa Khristu pa chilichonse chimene ndimachita?
Tiyenera kukhala atumiki a Kristu! Kodi mtumiki wa Kristu amachita motani pantchito? Kodi amaganiza bwanji? Mtumiki wa Khristu nthawi zonse amasangalala mwa Ambuye! Mtumiki wa Kristu amayesetsa kuti mtima wawo ukhale woyera! Mtumiki wa Kristu ayenera kukhala wolungama m'zinthu zonse. Cholinga cha wophunzira wa Yesu si moyo wapamwamba, "wooneka bwino" wachikristu; koma cholinga chawo ndi kukhala munthu amene "akuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu kuchokera mumtima". (Afilipi 4:4; Miyambo 4:23; 1 Timoteyo 6:11.)
Tikakhala pamaso pa Mulungu nthawi yonseyi ndipo tikufuna kukhala osangalatsa m'maso Mwake, zimakhala zomveka bwino kwa ife zimene tingasankhe. Kodi tiyenera kuyang'ana izi, kuwerenga izi, kapena kunena izi? Mulungu amatsatira kwambiri pamodzi ndi ife. Kodi Iye akuganiza chiyani za izi? Mwanjira imeneyi, nthaŵi zonse tingakane malingaliro alionse amene sali okondweretsa Mulungu ndipo chotero kupeza mtendere m'moyo umene munthu yekha amene amakhala m'malo mwa Mulungu angadziŵe.

"Nthawi iliyonse mukamachitira aliyense wa anthu anga, ngakhale ataoneka ngati osafunika bwanji, munandichitira." —Mateyu 25:40 (CEV).

Pamenepo ndife atumiki oona a Kristu amene amakhala ndi moyo kuti asangalatse Mulungu. Pamene tilola Mulungu kutitsogolera, osati anthu, ndi kuchita zimene Iye akunena, tingakhale chitsanzo chabwino chimene chimakokera awo otizinga ku moyo umodzimodziwo. Timakhala kuunika padziko lapansi.
