"Koma zikomo kwa Mulungu, amene nthawi zonse amatitsogolera ife mu chigonjetso kudzera mwa Khristu." 2 Akorinto 2:14 (NCV).
Nthawi zonse kupambana, nthawi zonse tikhoza kugonjetsa! Mawu ngati amenewo amatisangalatsa! Kuti Satana, zilakolako zathu ndi zilakolako zathu zauchimo, ndi dziko lapansi sizikhalanso ndi mphamvu pa ife! Izi n'zotheka, ndipo izi ndi zomwe timaitanidwa. (1 Petro 2:21.)
Kugonjetsa tchimo: izi ndi zimene Mulungu anatiitana kuti
Mulungu watiitana kuti tikhale ndi moyo umene timagonjetsa nthawi zonse. Koma kwa anthu ambiri izi sizinachitikebe. Mulungu akufuna kuti timvetsere mosamalitsa zimene Iye akunena m'mawu Ake (2 Petro 1:19) chifukwa tingangogonjetsa "mwa Iye".
Mulungu anali atalankhula kale ndi anthu oyamba za kugonjetsa uchimo. Iye anauza Kaini pa Genesis 4:7 (GNT), "Mukanakhala kuti mwachita bwino, mukanakhala mukumwetulira; koma chifukwa chakuti mwachita zoipa, uchimo ukugwada pakhomo panu. Ikufuna kukulamulirani, koma muyenera kuigonjetsa." Koma Kaini sanamvere Mulungu, ndipo anachita chifuniro chake. Akanatha kulandira mphamvu yolamulira uchimo, koma anasankha kuti asalamulire.
Tiyeni timvere zimene mawu a Mulungu amanena ndi kuchita zimenezo, chifukwa Mulungu sanasinthe. Mawu a Mulungu akhoza kuthamangitsa mdima wonse ndi kusakhulupirira. Mu Aroma 5:17 timawerenga za chisomo chachikulu cha Mulungu ndi mphatso ya chilungamo zomwe zimapangitsa kuti tithe kulamulira uchimo kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Mulungu amatilamula kuti tigonjetse ndipo Iye adzatipatsa mphamvu zochitira zimenezo. Koma tiyenera kukhulupirira kuti Iye adzatipatsa mphamvu imeneyi kuti tigonjetse, chifukwa chikhulupiriro chathu ndi mphamvu imene timagonjetsa dziko. (1 Yohane 5:4.)
Timagonjetsa ndipo timadalitsidwa ngati sitichita zimene zilakolako zathu zauchimo zimafuna, ndi kukana ziyeso zake zonse. Ngati tili okhulupirika m'zimenezi, tidzalandira korona wa moyo umene Mulungu walonjeza kwa awo amene amamkonda. (Yakobo 1:12.) Iyi ndi njira yopapatiza, si njira yosavuta - koma ndi njira yomwe imatsogolera ku moyo.
Penyani: chinthu choyamba chomwe tikufunikira kuti tigonjetse
"Ndipo zimene ndikukuuzani, ndinena kwa onse: Penyani!" —Maliko 13:37. Ichi ndi chinthu choyamba chimene tiyenera kuchita ngati tikufuna kugonjetsa. Pamene tiyang'ana ndi kupemphera tidzapeŵa ziyeso zosafunikira ndipo tidzagonjetsa nthaŵi zonse. Pamenepo sitidzayesedwa kwambiri kuposa mmene tingapirire, chifukwa Mulungu amapanganso njira yotulukira m'chiyesocho, kuti tithe kuchipirira.
Sikovuta kwambiri kusiya zinthu za m'dzikoli ngati maganizo athu ali otanganidwa ndi zinthu za Mulungu; koma ngati timangoyang'ana pa zinthu za padziko lapansi ndi zinthu zomwe tingathe kuziwona, sizophweka kwambiri pamene Satana ndi zilakolako zathu ndi zokhumba zathu zimatiyesa kuchita uchimo. Koma ngati maganizo athu akuyang'ana pa zinthu zabwino pamaso pa Mulungu, Satana sangatigonjetse konse; tili maso, ndipo Satana sadzatikhudza. Pamenepo tikukhala ndi Kristu, kulamulira ndi Iye pa uchimo, ndipo tidzagonjetsa nthaŵi zonse! (1 Timoteyo 2:3; 1 Yohane 5:18.)
Mawu a Mulungu amatisonyeza zimene zili zangwiro, ndipo Mzimu amatitsogolera m'njira imodzimodziyo. Chikhalidwe chathu chochimwa chimafuna zosiyana ndipo chikugwira ntchito mwakhama motsutsana ndi Mzimu! Kukana konseku kuchokera ku mkhalidwe wathu wauchimo kuyenera kugonjetsedwa! Mulungu amafuna kuti tikhale olungama komanso abwino monga momwe Iye alili - ndipo tiyenera kumvetsetsa kuti izi zimatenga nthawi, kuti tisatope mu moyo wathu. (2 Petro 3:14-16.) Timafunikiradi kuti Mulungu akhale woleza mtima kwa ife, makamaka pankhani ya kuyeretsedwa ku tchimo lirilonse kotero kuti tikhale angwiro pamaso pake!
Mulungu ndi wabwino kwambiri!
Ambuye amatimvetsa ndipo ndi wachifundo (Yakobo 5:11), ndipo Iye ndi woleza mtima ndi ife, chifukwa Iye safuna kuti wina aliyense agwe. Onse amene akufuna, angabwere ndi kulandira madzi a moyo monga mphatso yaulere. (Chivumbulutso 22:17.) Amathandiza onse amene amagwa. (Salimo 145:14.) Amatsatira mosamala aliyense. Koma anthu osakhulupirika ndi kupewa udindo amalandira chiweruzo chawo choyenera, monga momwe limanenera pa Yobu 34:11 (NLT), "Amabwezera anthu monga mwa zochita zawo. Amachitira anthu zimene akuyenera."
Mulungu sadzasintha konse zimene Iye akuyembekezera kwa ife pamene Iye watisonyeza mmene tingabwere ku moyo wogonjetsa. Mose sanaloledwe kulowa m'dziko lolonjezedwa chifukwa sanamvere Mulungu ndipo anali atagunda thanthwelo m'malo molankhula nalo, monga momwe limanenera pa Deuteronomo 1:37 (NLT), "Ndipo Yehova anandikwiyiranso chifukwa cha inu. Iye anandiuza kuti, 'Mose, ngakhale iwe sudzalowa m'Dziko Lolonjezedwa!'" Umu ndi mmene Mulungu amafunira kuti tisunge malamulo Ake. (Eksodo 23:20-21.)
Kusamvera pang'ono - ngakhale kukhala kochepa kwambiri - kumatibweretsera kutaya kosatha.
Mulungu ndi wabwino kwambiri; Iye angachite zinthu zodabwitsa mwa anthu ochimwa ngati ali odzichepetsa ndi omvera Mzimu. Ngati mukhulupirira, mudzaona ulemerero wa Mulungu. Iye akhoza kukupangitsani kukhala wogonjetsa, wamphamvu mu mphamvu Zake zamphamvu, wosagwedezeka monga Phiri la Ziyoni. Nthawi zonse kugonjetsa! (Yesaya 60:20.)
