Chokumana nacho cha chikhulupiriro
Pamene ndinali ndi zaka zisanu, chinachake chinachitika chimene chinali chofunika kwambiri kwa moyo wanga wonse Wachikristu. Ndimakumbukira bwino kwambiri. Ndinali kamtsikana kozindikira kwambiri komanso kodetsa nkhawa. Lingaliro la kuyamba sukulu linandichititsa mantha kwambiri, ndipo ndinalira ndikungoganiza kuti posachedwapa ndiyenera kuyamba sukulu.
Tsiku loyamba la sukulu linafika ndipo mayi anga anandisiya ndi mphunzitsiyo. Atapita, ndinachita mantha kwambiri ndipo ndinayamba kulira kwambiri moti mayi anga anabwerera. Ananditenga pambali n'kundifunsa ngati ndikufuna kupemphera kuti ndisaope. Iye anati: "Clara, pamene mwapemphera, ndiye kuti simukusowa kuganizira zinthu zimene mukuopa n'komwe, chifukwa tidzauza Yesu zonse, ndipo Iye adzakuthandizani. Mudzaona kuti zonse zidzayenda bwino!"
Mumtima mwanga wachinyamata, ndinkakhulupirira mawu onse a amayi anga, chifukwa nthawi zonse tinkapempherera chilichonse kunyumba. Panali anthu ambiri pafupi, koma ndinagwada pansi ndi kupemphera ndi mtima wanga wonse kuti, "Yesu, ndithandizeni kuti ndisaopenso!" Mayi anga anandiuza kuti, "Tsopano mwanena kwa Yesu, tsopano ukhoza kupita!" Ndinabwerera kwa mphunzitsiyo molimba mtima mwatsopano, ndipo ndinati mwakachetechete mobwerezabwereza ndekha, "Ndinauza Yesu."
Ndinali ndi mtendere ndi mpumulo mumtima mwanga kwa chaka chonse, chifukwa ndinali nditauza Yesu zonse ndipo ndinadzikumbutsa kuti nthawi yonseyi. Sindinalinso ndi mantha; Ndinamva kukhala wamphamvu. Ndinadziŵa kuti Iye anali nane. Chokumana nacho chimenechi chinali maziko a moyo wanga Wachikristu kufikira lerolino. Yesu ndi mnzanga wapamtima. Ndikhoza kupereka zonse kwa Iye, ndi chikhulupiriro chosavuta, ndipo Iye amandisamalira!
Kugwira chikhulupiriro chonga cha mwana mukakula
"Kenako anaitana mwana kwa Iye ndipo anamuuza kuti aimirire pakati pawo. " Ndikukutsimikizirani," Iye anatero, "pokhapokha mutatembenuzidwa ndi kukhala ngati ana, simudzalowa konse mu ufumu wakumwamba." Mateyu 18:2-3 .
Ndakhala ndikukumana ndi mayesero ambiri osiyanasiyana m'moyo wanga, ndi banja langa, thanzi, ndalama, ndi zina zotero - zinthu zambiri zomwe zapangitsa chikhulupiriro changa mwa Mulungu kukhala cholimba. Nthawi zina ndakhala ndikuyesedwa kuti ndisadandaulenso. Tikakula timafuna kumvetsetsa zonse koma zochitika kuyambira ubwana wanga nthawi zambiri zabwerera kwa ine. "Khalani ndi mtima wosalira zambiri muli mwana." Chikhulupiriro chosavuta chonga cha mwana chimenechi – kukhulupirira Mawu a Mulungu monga momwe chalembedwera – chakhala thandizo langa.
Mulungu amandisamalira mwa kundipatsa mpumulo waukulu ndi mtendere pamene ine, m'chikhulupiriro chonga cha mwana, nditaya nkhaŵa zanga zonse pa Iye! (1 Petro 5:7.) Nthawi iliyonse ndakhala ndikukhulupirira ndi kumvera Mawu a Mulungu popanda kuyesa kulingalira zonse - momwe ndinachitira ndili ndi zaka zisanu - Mulungu wandipatsa mtendere. Mulungu wandithandiza moyo wanga wonse, monga momwe zalembedwera mu Salmo 23.
Mapemphero amene amakondweretsa Mulungu
Pazaka zingapo zapitazi, makamaka kuyambira pamene ndinakhala mayi, ndamvetsetsa kuti ngati ndikufuna kukhala ndi moyo weniweni wachikhristu womwe umakondweretsa Bwino Mulungu - moyo womwe ndimakhala wosangalala kwambiri komanso wodzaza ndi mtendere ndi mphamvu zivute zitani - ndiye kuti chinthu chofunika kwambiri ndi momwe ndimachitira ndi zinthu. Ngakhale zinthu zazing'ono kwambiri. Momwe ndimachitira pamene ana anga ndi mwamuna wanga amandiona m'moyo wabwinobwino tsiku lililonse, komanso m'malingaliro anga kumene Ambuye yekha amandiwona. Kodi ndine munthu yemweyo kulikonse kumene ndimapita? Kodi ndimachita zimene Mulungu amandiuza kuti ndichite m'Mawu Ake? Kodi ana anga anganene kuti ndine wofatsa, wachimwemwe ndi woleza mtima kwa iwo panyumba monga pamaso pa anthu ena?
Ndaona mmene Mulungu amayankhira mapemphero omwe amachokera mumtima woyera; mapemphero omwe amakondweretsa bwino kwa Iye. (1 Yohane 5:14-15.) Pamene chikhumbo changa chonse m'mayesero anga osiyanasiyana ndikupeza zambiri za chikhalidwe Chake, kuleza mtima Kwake, mphamvu Zake, mpumulo Wake, Mzimu Wake, chikondi Chake, nzeru Zake, kufunitsitsa kuchita zabwino, kulimba mtima kwambiri, mtendere, ndi zina zotero, ndikudziwa kuti mapemphero anga amakondweretsa bwino kwa Iye.
Pa ndekha sindingathe kukonda monga momwe Mulungu akufunira, ndipo zalembedwa m'Mawu a Mulungu kuti tiyenera kugawana nawo chikhalidwe chaumulungu, kupeza zambiri za chikondi chomwecho chimene Khristu anali nacho kwa ife. (2 Petro 1:4.) N'chifukwa chake sindipemphera kuti zinthu zanga zisinthe kapena zichoke, koma ndimapemphera kuti ndizikonda kwambiri enawo! Ndikudziwa kuti ndikamapemphera chonchi, mapemphero amenewa amasangalatsa Mulungu chifukwa si chifuniro changa chimene ndikufuna kuchita, koma chifuniro Chake.
Sindipemphera kuti ndikhale ndi zonse zabwino ndekha, koma kuti ndipeze zambiri za moyo Wake, zipatso zambiri za Mzimu, ndipo ndichifukwa chake ndikutsimikiza kuti ndidzapeza zomwe ndikupempha. Ndikhoza kumufunsa Iye chilichonse, kukhulupirira kuti Iye amandimva - ndi kupitiriza mu moyo wanga wa tsiku ndi tsiku ndi kudziwa kuti Iye ali pambali panga ndipo adzandithandiza, chilichonse chimene chikubwera njira yanga. Amasamalira zinthu zonse, ngakhale pamene ndili m'tulo!
Nditapemphera, ndikhoza kuphunzira kukhala woleza mtima ndikudziuza kuti, "Ndinauza Yesu" mpaka nditapuma izi, kenako zotsatira zake zimabwera! Ndaphunzira kuika malingaliro oyambirira a nkhawa, zinthu zomwe sindikumvetsa, ndi zina zotero pambali, ndipo ndawona momwe Mulungu, mu nthawi Yake, amayankhira ndikupereka zomwe ndikufuna. Nthaŵi zingapo, ndakumana ndi zozizwitsa!
Zimene zinachitika pamene ndinapemphera pemphero losavuta limenelo pamene ndinali wamng'ono, zinalimbitsa chikhulupiriro changa. Koma ndaona momwe Mulungu akufunira kuchita zambiri mwa ine komanso kudzera mwa ine - Akufuna kundisintha, kuti ndikhale wofanana kwambiri ndi Iye! Ndipo ndili ndi lonjezo Lake kuti Iye adzandisintha, ndi chimwemwe chachikulu chifukwa ndili ndi chikumbumtima choyera. Mulungu nthawi zonse amakhala pambali panga! Iye amandipatsa mphamvu zambiri zochitapo kanthu, zambiri za Mzimu Wake Woyera, ndi vumbulutso lambiri m'Mawu Ake.
Umenewu ndi moyo wosangalatsa kwambiri umene munthu angakhale nawo pano padziko lapansi pano!
