Pachiyambi cha Kugwa Satana anapanga nyumba yake pakati pa anthu padziko lapansi, Mulungu wayesa kupeza nyumba ya Iyemwini m'mitima ya anthu. Iye wakwanitsa kupeza malo m'miyoyo yochepa yoopa Mulungu pano ndi apo, koma osati yambiri, chifukwa cha tchimo lonse lomwe limakhala mu chikhalidwe cha anthu. Paulo analembera Akorinto kuwapempha kuti akulitse mitima yawo chifukwa chakuti anali opapatiza kwambiri mwa iwo okha. Zinawavuta kupeza malo m'mitima yawo. (2 Akorinto 6:11-13.)
Malo okhala Mulungu
Ndi ntchito ya Mzimu wa Mulungu kuti atipange ifeife kukhala malo kumene Mulungu angakhale, monga kwalembedwera pa Aefeso 2:19-22 (CEB): "Choncho tsopano simulinso alendo . M'malo mwake, ndinu nzika anzake a Mulungu, ndipo ndinu a m'banja la Mulungu. Monga banja la Mulungu, mumamangidwa pamaziko atumwi ndi aneneri pamodzi ndi Kristu Yesu mwiniyo monga mwala wapangodya. Nyumba yonseyo yagwirizanitsidwa pamodzi mwa Iye, ndipo imakula kukhala kachisi woperekedwa kwa Ambuye. Khristu akukumangirirani m'malo amene Mulungu amakhala kudzera mwa Mzimu."
Tikuwona kuti aliyense wa ife ndi nyumba yomwe Mulungu amakhala kudzera mwa Mzimu Wake, ndikuti timakula pamodzi ndi ena kuti tikhale kachisi woperekedwa kwa Ambuye. Munthu angaone bwino lomwe kuti anthu ameneŵa amene ali nyumba ya Mulungu ali ogwirizana, kaya ali pamodzi kapena osiyana.
"Kodi mukuganiza kuti Malemba satanthauza kanthu kamene kamati, 'Mzimu umene Mulungu anapanga kuti akhale mwa ife umafuna ife kwa Iye yekha'? Koma Mulungu amatipatsa chisomo chochuluka ..." Yakobo 4:5-6 (NCV).
Chifukwa cha Kugwa, Satana anaipitsa mzimu umene Mulungu anawumba mwa Adamu, ndipo uchimo unaloŵa m'thupi, moyo, ndi mzimu wa anthu onse. Mzimu wathu waumunthu unabweranso pansi pa lamulo la uchimo ndi imfa. Koma Mulungu amafuna kukhala ndi mzimu wathu. Chotero, Iye amatipatsa chisomo chachikulu m'nkhondo yathu ya kumasuka ku mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wa Satana. (Ŵerengani Aroma 8:2.)
Anapangidwa kukhala ndi moyo mu mzimu
Zalembedwa kuti Adamu womaliza anakhala Mzimu wopatsa moyo. (1 Akorinto 15:45.) Adamu wotsiriza ndi Yesu Khristu, ndipo ndi Iye amene amagwira ntchito mwa ife. Mzimu wathu waumunthu uli pansi pa lamulo la uchimo ndi imfa ndipo Yesu wapatsidwa ntchito yopangitsa mzimu wathu kukhala wamoyo.
Mu 1 Petro 3:18 (ESV) kwalembedwa kuti Iye "anaphedwa m'thupi koma anapangidwa wamoyo mwa Mzimu". Izi zikutanthauza kuti tchimo lomwe linakhala mu chikhalidwe Chake chaumunthu (chomwe chimatchedwanso thupi) pamene Iye anali pano padziko lapansi "anaphedwa", ndi zotsatira zake kuti mzimu Wake unapangidwa wamoyo. Yesu Khristu tsopano akugwira ntchito yomweyi mwa ife ndipo mwanjira imeneyi tinapangidwa kuti tikhale malo omwe Mulungu angakhale kudzera mwa Mzimu Wake.
Werenganinso kuti: "Kodi Khristu wabwera m'thupi?"
Mulungu akufuna kukhala ndi mzimu umene Anatipatsa. Ndipo pamene Mulungu abwera kudzakhala mu mzimu wathu, sitimangosungidwa ndi kutetezedwa, komanso mzimu wathu umakhala wamoyo. N'chifukwa chiyani Mulungu amagwira ntchito mwakhama kuti mizimu yathu ikhale yamoyo? N'chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kukhala malo amene Mulungu angakhale? Kodi chifukwa cha Mulungu cha zimenezi nchiyani? Ndi chifukwa Mulungu ndi chikondi, ndipo Iye akufuna kutisintha ndipo tiyeni tigawane chikhalidwe Chake.
Chipulumutso chachikulu ndi chaulemerero
"Kenako ndinaona kumwamba kwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano, pakuti kumwamba kwakale ndi dziko lapansi lakale zinazimiririka. Ndipo nyanja inalinso itatha. Ndipo ndinaona mzinda woyera, Yerusalemu watsopano, ukutsika kuchokera kwa Mulungu kuchokera kumwamba ngati mkwatibwi wovala bwino mwamuna wake. Ndinamva kulira kwakukulu kuchokera ku mpando wachifumu, kuti, 'Taonani, nyumba ya Mulungu tsopano ili pakati pa anthu ake! Iye adzakhala nawo, ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu ake. Mulungu mwiniyo adzakhala nawo.'" Chivumbulutso 21:1-3 (NLT).
Anthu amene Mulungu ali nawo kwawo, adzakhala pakati pa anthu padziko lapansi latsopano. Anthu ameneŵa ali a mzindawo, Yerusalemu Watsopano, umene umatsika kuchokera kumwamba.
"Ndipo mitundu ya anthu opulumutsidwa idzayenda m'kuunika kwake." Chivumbulutso 21:24. Awa ndi mitundu yopulumutsidwa yomwe sinakonzekeretse m'njira yoti ikhale nyumba za Mulungu, koma yaitana pa dzina la Ambuye kuti athandizidwe, ndipo chifukwa chake, iwo apulumutsidwa m'malo motayika kosatha. Iwo sadziwa tanthauzo la kuyenda mu chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi Mawu (omwe ndi momwe mungasinthire kukhala nyumba ya Mulungu), koma anthu amene ali nyumba za Mulungu amadziwa bwino kwambiri izi. Iwo aphunzira kuyenda mu kuwala monga Iye ali kuwala. Mwanjira imeneyo mwazi wa Kristu ukawayeretsa ku uchimo wonse ndi kuwapanga kukhala nyumba ya Mulungu. (1 Yohane 1:7.)
"Wogonjetsa adzalandira zinthu zonse." Chivumbulutso 21:7.
Chipulumutso chimenechi kumene timaphunzira kuyenda mu chifuniro cha Mulungu ndi Mawu ndi chachikulu kwambiri komanso chaulemerero, choncho tiyeni tigwire ntchito mwakhama kwambiri kuti tipeze zambiri monga momwe tingathere pamene tikuyendabe monga oyendayenda ndi alendo pano padziko lapansi.
