Imani kaye kuti muganizire kufunika kwa mavesi osaneneka awa: "Mabwenzi anga okondedwa, tsopano ndife ana a Mulungu, koma sizinadziwikebe kuti tidzakhala chiyani. Koma tikudziwa kuti Khristu akadzaonekera, tidzakhala ngati iyeyo, chifukwa tidzamuona mmene alilidi. Aliyense amene ali ndi chiyembekezo chimenechi mwa Khristu amadzisunga yekha woyera, monga momwe Khristu alili woyera." 1 Yohane 3:2-3 (GNT).
Funso loyamba limene ndimadzifunsa ndi lakuti: "Kodi chiyembekezo changa n'chiyani ?" Kodi ndikukhulupirira kuti ndi zazikulu chotani nanga zimene Yohane akulemba pano, kuti ndidzamuonadi Yesu monga Momwe Iye alili, ndi kukhala ngati Iye? Ngati ndi choncho, funso lachiwiri nthawi yomweyo limabwera lakuti: "Ndiye ndikuchita chiyani?" Kodi zimenezi zimandisonkhezera kudzisunga ndekha woyera, monga momwe Iye alili woyera?
Madzi oipa amachititsa chitsime choyera kukhala chodetsedwa
Mwina izi zikhoza pafupifupi kuoneka zosatheka. Dziko lapansi liri lodzaza ndi chidetso - mu nkhani za tsiku ndi tsiku, mu media. Mzimu wa nthaŵi zonse uli wa kukhala mogwirizana ndi zilakolako zathu. Chilankhulo chamwano chakhala chachibadwa ndipo khalidwe loipa limasonyezedwa popanda manyazi. Media media ndi zofalitsa zina zimakhala zodzaza ndi mawu, zithunzi ndi nkhani zomwe zikuwonetsa anthu omwe ali osakhutira ndi oipa, omwe amanyoza, kutukwana, kudzudzula, ndi opanda pake, ndipo makamaka amasonyeza zilakolako zawo zodetsedwa.
Ndizoona kuti ndili ndi zilakolako ndi zokhumba mu chikhalidwe changa zomwe zimadzutsidwa ndi zisonkhezero zakunja. Zilakolako ndi zokhumba izi zimabwera ngati malingaliro ndi malingaliro a kukwiya, kupanda ulemu, kutsutsa, chidetso, kudzikonda, kulefulidwa etc. Koma bwanji ponena za kudzisunga ndekha woyera? Ngati ndiyerekezera mtima wanga ndi maganizo anga ndi chitsime cha madzi, ndikutha kuona kuti zimenezi n'zofunika kwambiri. Madzi ochepa oipa adzaipitsa chitsime choyera. Koma chitsime chodetsedwa sichiyeretsedwa mwa kungowonjezera madzi oyera. Kuti mukhale oyera, dothi lonse liyenera kuchotsedwa - ndipo kuti likhale loyera, kuipitsa konse kapena dothi liyenera kusungidwa kwathunthu.
N'chimodzimodzinso ndi moyo wanga wauzimu. Zilakolako zanga zauchimo ndi zikhumbo zanga zimadzutsidwa mu mkhalidwe ndipo zimayesa kubwera m'maganizo ndi mumtima mwanga, ngati madontho a madzi oipa m'chitsime. Ngati ndilola malingaliro amenewa kukhala ndi moyo, ndimakhala "woipitsidwa" ndi malingaliro ochimwa awa, ndipo chisonkhezero chake chimayamba kukula ndi kufalikira m'moyo wanga. Kulola malingaliro odetsedwa kulowa ndi kugonjera ku chidwi ndi chilakolako cha maso kumalola uchimo kulowa, ndipo ndidzakhala kapolo wa zilakolako zanga ndi zilakolako zauchimo. Lingaliro "laling'ono" la nsanje lomwe limaloledwa kukhala ndi moyo limakula ngati khansa ndipo pang'onopang'ono ndimakhala munthu wowawa komanso wotsutsa.
Ngati ndapereka kale zilakolako zanga, ndiyenera kulapa ndi kupempha chikhululukiro. Mu ubwino Wake ndi chifundo, Mulungu ali wofunitsitsa kukhululukira tchimo langa ndi kundiyeretsa kotheratu. Dothi limachotsedwa, ndipo ndimakhala "chitsime choyera" kachiwiri. Koma tsopano, ndithudi, ndiyenera kupitirizabe motero.
Khalani oyera: N'chifukwa chiyani ndikudzitsegulira kuipitsa?
Sindingathe nthawi zonse kupewa kuona kapena kumva zinthu zomwe zimandipangitsa kuti ndiyesedwe kuchokera ku chikhalidwe changa chochimwa, koma pali njira imodzi yokha yotulukira pamene ndikuyesedwa: kupemphera, kumenyana ndi kuvutika kuti ndikhale woyera ndikugonjetsa zoipa. Ndipo Mulungu amandipatsa Mzimu Woyera kuti andithandize, ndi kundipatsa mphamvu zomwe ndikufunikira kuti ndigonjetse.
Koma pali ziyeso zimene ndingapewe. Ndiye pali njira ina kudzisungira ndekha woyera: Thamangani moyo wanga! Izi zili ndi zochita ndi maganizo anga, ndi chiyembekezo changa. Kodi ndikufuna kuti moyo wanga upite kuti? Sindingathe kupewa zisonkhezero zonse zoipa, koma sindifunikira kuzifunafuna kapena kuzipirira.
Ngati ndidzitsegulira ku zisonkhezero zimenezi, maso anga amayesedwa kuyang'ana, lilime langa limayesedwa kulankhula ndipo maganizo anga amayesedwa kulingalira zinthu zimene mwinamwake sindikanaganiza konse za kuchita. Ngati ndikufuna kuona Mulungu, n'chifukwa chiyani ndingalole maso anga kuyang'ana chilichonse, kuwerenga ndi kuonera mitundu yonse ya zinthu zomwe zili zodzaza ndi kusalemekeza Mulungu ndi anthu, chidetso ndi zonyansa? N'chifukwa chiyani kutsatira njira chikhalidwe TV kuti kusewera mozungulira ndi zilakolako izi uchimo ndi zilakolako, ngakhale ndi "kamodzi kokha mu kanthawi"? Ngati sindili ndi mtima wonse, mwamsanga ndimapeza zifukwa zodzikhululukira. "Sizoipa zimenezo." "Ndikhoza kuchita nazo; Ndikudziwa pamene ndikuima." "Izi ndizoseketsa kwambiri, choncho ndimangopirira ndi zinthu zauve."
Mwina ndikuganiza kuti ndingathe kuthana nazo chifukwa ndazolowera. Sizikundikhudzanso kwenikweni. Koma mwinamwake payenera kukhala magetsi ena ofiira owala chenjezo: Kodi ndili bwino ndi zinthu zimene Mulungu amadana nazo? Kodi ndi zachibadwa kwa ine chifukwa chakuti ndi zachibadwa padziko lapansi? Kodi ndikudzitsegulira ndekha mizimu yodetsedwa mwa "kuzolowera?"
Chiyembekezo changa ndi kuitana
Skuyenerera kuti munthu amene akudzikonzekeretsa yekha kukumana ndi Yesu ndi Mulungu avomereze uchimo ndi zinthu za dziko monga zachibadwa chifukwa ndadzitsegulira zinthu zimene ndikanapewa. Kodi ndingayembekezere bwanji kukhala woyera ndi maganizo ngati amenewo? Mwa kukhala wotopetsa m'malingaliro anga, ndili pangozi yokhala chitsime chodetsedwa, kusonyeza ntchito ya Satana: chidetso, kudandaula, chidani, kusalemekeza Mulungu, kunyada, kudzikuza, kudzifunafuna, kudzikonda, kusakhulupirira, kulefulidwa. Mndandanda umapitirira. Koma chimenecho sichiri chiyembekezo changa ndi chiitano changa!
Nkoyenera kuti wophunzira adzaze ndi mkwiyo ndi changu chofananacho chimene chinali mwa Yesu pamene Iye anakumana ndi uchimo! (Yesaya 63:1-6; Ahebri 5:7.) Limbanani ndi uchimo m'mkhalidwe wanga wauchimo ndi kuthaŵa ziphuphu! Ngati ndikukhulupirira Yesu, tsatirani Iye ndi kumvera malamulo Ake, mitsinje ya madzi amoyo idzatuluka mumtima mwanga. (Yohane 7:38.) Ndimamwa kwambiri madzi oyera a m'Mawu a Mulungu, kusunga malingaliro anga pa zinthu zakumwamba. (Akolose 3:1-4.)
Pogwiritsa ntchito Mawu, ndimayamba kuona kusiyana pakati pa zabwino ndi zoipa, ndipo ndine wokonzeka kumenyana. (Ahebri 5:13-14.) Ine ndekha ndimakhala chitsime cha madzi oyera, amoyo, kusonyeza zonse za Mulungu: chiyero, kukhulupirika, kuyamikira, chikondi, chiyero, kudzichepetsa, kudzikonda, chifatso, chikhulupiriro, chilimbikitso. Mndandanda umapitirira. Chimenecho ndicho chiyembekezo changa ndi kuitana!
"Choncho, musalole kuti uchimo ulamulire moyo wanu pano padziko lapansi kuti muchite zimene wochimwayo akufuna kuchita. Musapereke ziwalo za thupi lanu kuti zitumikire uchimo, monga zinthu zoyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito pochita zoipa. M'malo mwake, dzidziperekeni kwa Mulungu monga anthu amene anafa ndipo tsopano ali ndi moyo. Perekani ziwalo za thupi lanu kwa Mulungu kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito pochita zabwino. Uchimo sukhala mbuye wanu, chifukwa simuli pansi pa lamulo koma pansi pa chisomo cha Mulungu." Aroma 6:12-14 (NCV).
