Zaka zingapo zapitazo, dziko langa linasintha mwadzidzidzi. Mwamuna wanga anamwalira mosayembekezereka ndipo usiku umodzi moyo wanga unakhala wosiyana kwambiri. Zinali zodabwitsa kwambiri ndipo kwa kanthawi sindinkatha kuganiza ndi kuchita zinthu bwinobwino, ndipo ndinayenera kudalira thandizo ndi mapemphero a banja langa ndi anzanga.
Patapita kanthawi zinthu zinayamba kumveka bwino ndipo ndinayenera kuthana ndi zinthu zambiri zatsopano, kuphatikizapo kuphunzira kukhala ndekha. Mwadzidzidzi ndinazindikira kuti kwa nthawi yoyamba m'zaka zambiri sindinali mbali ya "banja"! Tsopano panalibe aliyense amene anali kundiyembekezera kunyumba, panalibe wolankhula naye panyumba. Ndinapeza kuti ndinali wosungulumwa.
Malingaliro osungulumwawo anali kukhala ngati mantha, nthaŵi zina ochititsidwa ndi kukhala paukwati, kukumbukira mmene zinalili kale, kapena zinthu zina zoterozo. Ndinayenera kuphunzira kuchita nawo, koma motani?
Kodi Baibulo limati chiyani pa nkhani ya kusungulumwa?
Mfumu Davide inasungulumwanso kwambiri ndipo inaiŵalika. Koma sanali wankhondo yekha pabwalo la nkhondo; nayenso anamenyera chikhulupiriro chake! Iye anafuula kwa Mulungu ndipo analandira mphamvu ndipo akuyembekeza kupitiriza, monga ananenera pa Salmo 25:16-21 :
"Tembenukirani kwa ine ndi kundichitira chifundo, chifukwa ndine wosungulumwa ndi wopweteka. Mavuto anga akula; ndimasuleni ku mavuto anga. Yang'anani kuvutika kwanga ndi mavuto, ndipo chotsani machimo anga onse. Taonani kuti ndili ndi adani angati! Onani mmene amandida! Nditetezeni ndi kundipulumutsa. Ndikukukhulupirirani, choncho musalole kuti ndichititse manyazi. Chiyembekezo changa chili mwa inu, momwemonso ubwino ndi kuwona mtima zinditeteze."
M'malo moimba mlandu Mulungu kapena kudabwa kuti "Chifukwa chiyani ine?" Davide anapita kwa Mulungu m'nthaŵi zake zosungulumwa koposa. Ndinafunikanso kumenya nkhondo mwauzimu kuti ndipeze mphamvu ndi thandizo lomwelo limene linachotsa Davide m'kupanda chiyembekezo kwake.
Wekhawekha kapena wosungulumwa?
Kukhala nokha ndi kukhala wosungulumwa si chinthu chomwecho. Ndikhoza kukhala ndekha, ndi kukhala wosangalala ndi wokhutira; ndipo ndikhoza kukhala wosungulumwa ngakhale pakati pa anthu ambiri. Ndinazindikira kuti ndinkasungulumwa chifukwa nsanje, kuwawidwa mtima, ndi kudzimvera chisoni zinali kundivutitsa maganizo monga akuti, "Aliyense ali ndi ena. Ndine ndekha komanso ndekha." Koma ndinadziŵa kuti ndiyenera kukana malingaliro oterowo ndi kusawalola mumtima ndi m'moyo wanga. Choncho ndinachita monga momwe zalembedwera pa 2 Akorinto 10:5 ndipo ndinagwira "lingaliro lililonse kuti likhale lomvera Khristu".
Mavesi ena monga Afilipi 4:6 omwe amati, "Musadandaule ndi chilichonse," anandithandiza m'mbuyomu kuti ndiwongolere maganizo anga, choncho ndinatenga vesi loyamikira pa 1 Atesalonika 5:18 lomwe limati, "M'zonse zikomo, pakuti ichi ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu mwa Khristu Yesu chifukwa cha inu." Ngati ndikufuna kuyamikira ndiyenera kupereka chifuniro changa, ndi kuvomereza kuti ndi Mulungu amene akulamulira, osati ine.
"M'zonse zikomo" - zomwe zikutanthauza kuti: ngati ndikumva kuti ndasiyidwa, ngati ndikudzimvera chisoni, ngati ndikumva kuti ndikuchitiridwa nkhanza mwanjira iliyonse - ziribe kanthu kuti zinthu zili bwanji! Ndikhoza kunena moona kuti, "Zikomo, Yesu," chifukwa cha mkhalidwe umenewu, chifukwa chimenecho ndicho chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa ine! Ndizo zomwe ndikufuna - kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu malinga ngati ndili ndi moyo!
Kuyamika ndi chida chachikulu kwambiri
Nthawi zina ndimafunika kunena pang'ono kuposa chabe "zikomo" wosavuta, monga, "Ambuye, ndili ndi chisoni lero monga zikanakhala chikumbutso chathu." Kenako ndimayamba kumuthokoza chifukwa cha zaka zonse zambiri zimene tinali nazo limodzi. Kapena, "Ambuye, ndikudzimvera chisoni monga ena ali otanganidwa kwambiri kuti akhale nane." Kenako ndikuwonjezera kuti, "Zikomo, Yesu chifukwa cha mabwenzi onse amtengo wapatali amene mwandipatsa." Kenako ndimawatchula mayina awo, kuwapempherera, ndi kupempha Mulungu kuti awadalitse ndi kuwathandiza pa zosowa zilizonse zimene angakhale nazo.
Ndakumana ndi nthaŵi ndi nthaŵi kuti pamene ndiyesetsadi kuyamikira, kunena kuti Ayi ku malingaliro onse oipa, chisoni ndi kusungulumwa zimachoka patapita nthaŵi, ndipo ndatsala ndi chiyamikiro. Chifukwa chakuti munthu amene akuyamikira sangathe nthawi yomweyo kudzimvera chisoni. Ndipo ndine wokondwa kunena kuti chida ichi: "M'zonse zikomo" - chimandithandizabe tsiku lililonse.
