"... kukongola kumene kumachokera mkati, kukongola kosafota kwa mzimu wofatsa ndi wabata, umene uli wamtengo wapatali kwambiri kwa Mulungu." 1 Petro 3:4.
Pamene ndinayamba kuŵerenga vesi limeneli, ndinayesedwa kuti ndikhumudwe. Ndikudziwa kuti sindine munthu wofatsa komanso wabata. Ndili ndi mawu okweza, ndi kuseka kwakukulu, ndipo ndimakonda kuimba pamwamba pa mapapo anga. Chilichonse chimene ndimachita ndi "chowoneka" kwambiri. Ine sindine mtundu wa munthu amene angathe kungokhala osadziwika.
Ine sindili ngati izi mwadala. Uwu ndi umunthu umene ndinabadwa nawo. Sindikunena kuti ndikunyadira ndekha kukhala chonchi; ayi, nthawi zambiri ndimachita manyazi kwambiri ndikazindikira kuti kachiwiri, ndikuseka kwambiri kuposa wina aliyense m'chipindamo. Kwenikweni, nthawi zambiri ndimalakalaka nditasiyana.
Choncho, kodi ndimachita chiyani ndi vesi limene linalembedwa kuti ndiyenera kukhala ndi mzimu wofatsa komanso wabata? Kodi sindine wamtengo wapatali kwa Mulungu chifukwa ndine munthu wofuula komanso womasuka? Kodi ndiyenera kuyesa kusintha umunthu wanga? Ndipo kodi anthu ena angafunenso kuti ndikhale wosiyana?
Mulungu sanandipangitse kukhala "wolakwa"
Sindikukhulupirira kuti Mulungu anandilenga molakwika. Iye anandipanga ine munthu amene ine ndiri, ndipo Iye anandipatsa umunthu wanga chifukwa. Chotero, kodi vuto lenileni nchiyani?
Koma kenako ndinazindikira kuti sizikunena kuti "umunthu wofatsa komanso wabata". Limati, "mzimu wofatsa ndi wabata". Mzimu wofatsa ndi wabata umenewo uyenera kukhala munthu wanga wamkati, kugwirizana kwanga ndi Mulungu. Ngati mu mzimu wanga ndili chete ndipo nthawi zonse ndimamvetsera zomwe Mulungu akufuna kulankhula ndi mtima wanga, ndiye kuti ndidzamva pamene Iye andiuza kuti momwe ndikuchitira pakali pano sibwino - mwina pali tchimo lina lomwe likukhudza zomwe ndikuchita.
Uchimo ndi umene umapangitsa chinachake kukhala cholakwika. Kumene kuli tchimo m'njira imene ndimachitira zinthu, ndi pamene sikukondweretsa Mulungu. Ngati ndikukhala wofuula ndipo zikupangitsa moyo kukhala wovuta kwa anthu ozungulira ine, ndiye kuti ndikukhala wodzikonda komanso wopanda maganizo, m'malo mokhala dalitso ndikupanga moyo wabwino kwa anthu. Mulungu amandiwonetsa pamene ndikufuna chidwi, kuyesa kukhala ndi mawu otsiriza, kukhala wamwano, wopanda ulemu, wonyada, wopanda maganizo, wodzikonda, wodzala ndi malingaliro amphamvu, ndi zina zotero.
Ndikuyenera nthawi zonse kuweruza zochita zanga, kuganizira momwe ndi chifukwa chake ndikuchitira zinthu. Sindiyenera kuganiza za zofuna zanga zokha ndipo ndisasamale momwe zochita zanga zimakhudzira anthu ozungulira ine. Zochita zanga ziyenera kusonkhezeredwa ndi chikondi. Kenaka ndimapanga moyo ndi mtendere pafupi nane kulikonse kumene ndimapita, kaya ndine wofuula kapena wabata mwachibadwa. Monga momwe limanenera pa Aroma 8:6: "Koma ngati maganizo awo akulamulidwa ndi Mzimu, pali moyo ndi mtendere."
Mulungu angagwiritse ntchito umunthu wanga kudalitsa!
Ndipo ngati ndikuwona kuti ndine wodzikonda komanso wopanda maganizo, ndiye kuti sindikusowa kukhala choncho ! Mwa mphamvu ya Mulungu ikhoza kugonjetsedwa. Ndikhoza kukhala wosamala ndi woganiza ndi kuganizira zimene zili zabwino kwa ena, ndipo zochita zanga zidzasonyeza zimenezo. Kenaka umunthu wanga umayeretsedwa, popanda kusintha amene Mulungu anandipanga.
Ndikamvetsera mawu a Mulungu, ndiye kuti ndimaphunzira zabwino ndi zoipa, ndipo ndimakhudzidwa ndi nthawi yoyenera komanso malo oyenera kukhala olimba mtima komanso odalirika, komanso pamene chinthu choyenera kuchita ndicho kukhala chete.
Chomwe chiri chamtengo wapatali kwa Mulungu ndi chakuti ndikufuna kumva mawu Ake ndi kumufunafuna Iye mu mzimu wanga, nthawi zonse kusunga khutu langa lotseguka kumva zimene Iye akunena kwa ine mu mkhalidwe uliwonse, kotero kuti ine ndikhoza kuchita chifuniro Chake osati changa. Kumeneko ndiko kufatsa ndi bata zomwe Iye akufunafuna. Ndipo inde, nthawi zina ntchito zambiri zakunja zingandilepheretse kumva zimenezo, kotero ndiye ndikuyenera kuonetsetsa kuti sindikumiza mawu Ake. (1 Atesalonika 5:19.)
Koma palibe cholakwika ndi kukhala ndi chidaliro. Malinga ngati nthawi zonse ndimakhala maso chifukwa cha uchimo pa chilichonse chimene ndimachita. Pamene ine kumvetsera mawu a Mulungu akulankhula kwa ine, ndiye Iye amatha nthawi zonse kutsogolera mapazi anga onse, ndipo Iye akhoza kundigwiritsa ntchito ntchito iliyonse Iye akufuna ine kuchita. Iye akhoza kundigwiritsa ntchito, monga iye anandilenga, kuchita chifuniro Chake padziko lapansi. (Aefeso 2:10.)
Mzimu wofatsa ndi wabata umenewo suli wosatheka. N'zolimbikitsa kwambiri kudziwa kuti ndikhoza kukhala ndi mzimu woterewu mosasamala kanthu za umunthu wanga, komanso kuti kudzera mwa iwo Mulungu angatsogolere moyo wanga mwangwiro. Iye angandisonyeze njira yokhalira womasuka kotheratu ku uchimo ndi kudzifunafuna. Ndikhozabe kukhala "ine", koma "ine" woyeretsedwa, njira yomwe Mulungu ankafuna kuti ndikhale.
