Monga Akristu, timadziŵa kuti sitiyenera kuopa imfa. Baibulo limafotokoza zimene zidzachitikire anthu amene anamwalira. "Lipenga lidzalira, ndipo amene anamwalira adzaukitsidwa kuti akhale ndi moyo kosatha, ndipo tonse tidzasinthidwa. Thupi limeneli lomwe lingawonongedwe liyenera kudziveka lokha chinthu chomwe sichingawonongedwe... Imfa yawonongedwa kosatha m'chilakiko.... Imfa, ululu wanu uli kuti?" 1 Akorinto 15:52-57. 1 Atesalonika 4:16-18 alinso ndi lonjezo laulemerero la zimene ife amene timakhulupirira Yesu tingayembekezere.
Koma nthawi zina ndimadabwa kuti ndingakumane bwanji ndi imfa pamene nthawi yanga yoti ndife ifika. Ndikhoza kunena zinthu zoyenera ndi kudziwa mavesi a m'Baibulo koma kodi ndingathe kukhala nawodi mmene ndimalankhulira za izo?
Zochitika ndi imfa
Kupyolera mu zokumana nazo zina zomwe ndinali nazo m'moyo wanga waumwini zinaonekeratu kwa ine kuti pali njira ziwiri zochokera ku dziko lino.
Ndikanatha kuchoka m'dzikoli, popanda chilichonse chosonyeza nthawi imene ndinakhala kuno. Ngati maganizo anga ali pa zinthu za dziko lino zokha, ndipo ndilibe maso pa zinthu zofunika pa moyo wosatha, ndiye kuti ndilibe chuma chosatha chosungidwa, palibe moyo mwa Khristu, palibe chomwe ndingatenge ndi ine mu umuyaya.
Kapena ndikhoza kukhala wophunzira wokhulupirika wa Yesu Kristu, kuphunzira za Iye, ndi kumanga nkhokwe ya chuma chimene chili ndi phindu losatha. Ndikhoza kukhala m'njira yoti ndikapita kunyumba kwa Mulungu, ndidzamva Iye akunena kwa ine kuti, "Wachita bwino, mtumiki wabwino ndi wokhulupirika." (Mateyu 25:14-30.) Moyo wamtunduwu umapangitsanso kuti moyo padziko lapansi ukhale wabwino komanso wopindulitsa, ndipo moyo wanga ukhoza kukhala dalitso ndi thandizo kwa anthu ena.
Moyo wanga padziko lapansi
Choncho, ndikudziwa kuti moyo umene ndimakhala pamene ndili pano padziko lapansi pano, udzasankha mmene ndidzakumana ndi imfa nthawi yanga ikadzafika ya kufa. Ngati ndikukhala wokhulupirika, kugonjetsa moyo ndi kumvera Mawu a Mulungu, ndiye kuti ndikhoza kukumana ndi imfa ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere. Imfa si chinthu choopa ngati ndine wophunzira wa Yesu. Ndikhoza kukumana ndi imfa ndi chimwemwe, ndikuyembekezera mphoto yanga. Ndikhoza kusinthidwa kwathunthu kuchokera pakuopa imfa kupita kwa munthu yemwe amaganiza za imfa mofanana ndi momwe Mulungu amachitira - zomwe zimangokhala pamodzi ndi Iye.
Pa Mateyu 25:34 Yesu akutiuza kuti, "Bwerani, Atate wanga wakupatsani dalitso lake. Landirani ufumu umene Mulungu wakukonzerani kuyambira pamene dziko linapangidwa." Ndipo pa 1 Yohane 2:25, "Ndipo ichi ndi lonjezo limene Iye watilonjeza – moyo wosatha."
Njira yabwino kwambiri yokhalira okonzeka kukumana ndi Mulungu tikamwalira, ndiyo kumudziwa Iye pamene tikukhala ndi moyo. "Yandikirani kwa Mulungu, ndipo Mulungu adzayandikira kwa inu." Yakobo 4:8. "Musadandaule ndi chilichonse, koma pempherani ndi kupempha Mulungu zonse zimene mukufuna, nthawi zonse muziyamikira. Ndipo mtendere wa Mulungu, umene uli waukulu kwambiri umene sitingaumvetse, udzasunga mitima ndi maganizo anu mwa Khristu Yesu." Afilipi 4:6-7. Ndiyeno tingayembekezere tsiku limene tidzakumane ndi Atate wathu ndi Mwana Wake, Yesu, amene taphunzira kudziŵa ndi kuwakonda pamene tinali adakali pano padziko lapansi.
Mawu a Mulungu ndi oona
Ndaona kuti Mawu a Mulungu amatsimikiziridwa kukhala oona m'njira zambiri m'moyo wanga wonse. Ndikukhulupirira kuti malonjezo Ake okhudza moyo pambuyo pa imfa adzakhala oona ndi aulemerero mofanana. "Mawu a Ambuye atsimikiziridwa; Iye ndi chishango kwa onse okhulupirira Iye." —Salimo 18:30. Ndakhala ndi mipata yambiri yoyesa Mulungu, ndipo Iye watsimikizira Yekha kukhala woona nthawi iliyonse. Mawu ake akhala maziko otsimikizirika a moyo wanga.
Baibulo limanena kuti masiku athu anawerengedwa dziko lisanayambe. Mulungu watikonzera zinthu zoti tichite. Iye amadziwa kuchuluka kwa nthawi yomwe tili nayo pano padziko lapansi, ndipo ndi nthawi yokwanira kuti Iye amalize ntchito yomwe Iye wayamba mwa ife. (Afilipi 1:6.) Tiyenera kukhala oyenera chiitano chapamwamba ndi chopatulika chimenechi. Ngati ndikukhulupirira zomwe zalembedwa m'Baibulo, ndili ndi chiyembekezo ichi mwa Iye ndipo ndimadziyeretsa ndekha monga Iye ali woyera. (1 Yohane 3:3.)
Mfundo yaikulu ndi yakuti: Ngati ndikukhulupirira zimene zalembedwa m'Baibulo ndipo ndine wokhulupirika kumvera Mawu a Mulungu monga momwe zalembedwera, sindidzaopa imfa koma ndidzayembekezera kumva Yesu akunena kuti, "Wachita bwino, mtumiki wabwino ndi wokhulupirika; ... lowani m'chimwemwe cha Ambuye wanu." —Mateyu 25:21-23.
