Kodi kukhala kholo kumachita chiyani ndi chipatso cha Mzimu?
Choyamba tiyenera kudziwa kuti chipatso cha Mzimu ndi chiyani. Tingawerenge zimenezo pa Agalatiya 5:22:
"Koma chipatso cha Mzimu ndi:
chikondi,
chimwemwe,
mtendere,
kuleza mtima,
kukoma mtima,
ubwino,
kukhulupirika,
kufatsa,
kudziletsa."
Ndikuganiza kuti tonse timavomereza kuti zipatso zimenezi zilidi mikhalidwe ya kholo laumulungu. Iwo ndi zipatso, kapena zotsatira, za kukhala mu Mzimu ndi kumvetsera mawu a Mzimu. Zosiyana ndi kukhala mu Mzimu zikanakhala kukhala mogwirizana ndi chikhalidwe chathu chaumunthu chochimwa. Chotsatira cha zimenezo ndi kukwiya, mkwiyo, nkhanza, zofuna zopanda nzeru, dyera, ulesi, kusaleza mtima, ndi zina zotero. Ichi ndi chithunzi chonyansa kwambiri cha kholo. Umu si mmene ziyenera kukhalira, nyumba zathu ziyenera kukhala chidutswa cha kumwamba kwa ana athu.
Kugonjetsa uchimo
Monga mayi wa ana asanu ndi atatu ndekha, nthawi zambiri ndinkasowa momwe ndingachitire ndi ana anga m'magawo osiyanasiyana: makanda, ana aang'ono, achinyamata asanayambe, achinyamata ndi achinyamata. Kusowa kwanga nzeru kunandipangitsa kufunafuna Mulungu m'njira yakuya kwambiri, kundibweretsa ku mawondo anga ndi kulira kwa Iye kuti ndigonjetse zinthu zoipa zomwe ndinawona mu chikhalidwe changa.
Ndipo mwa chisomo cha Mulungu ndinafika pa mfundo yakuti ndikhoza kugonjetsa zinthu zoipa zimenezi ndinaona mwa ine ndekha, ku ulemu Wake ndi chitamando! Koma zimenezi sizichitika tsiku limodzi lokha. Zimatenga nthawi, ndipo zalembedwa kuti ndi mwa chikhulupiriro ndi kuleza mtima kuti tilandire malonjezo. (Ahebri 6:12.) Kuti ndigonjetse tchimo lomwe limachokera ku chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu - kukwiya kwanga, kusaleza mtima, kukhumudwa, ndi zina zotero - ndiyenera kuziwona poyamba. Ine ndikuwona izo pamene ine ndikuyesedwa kwa izo, ndipo ndi pamene ine kupeza mwayi kugonjetsa izo.
Ndi ndondomeko, ndipo ndikafika poona machimo ndi zikhoterero zimenezo mwa ine ndekha, si chifukwa cholefulidwa, koma ndiyenera kufuula kwa Mulungu kuti Iye adzandipatsa chikhulupiriro ndi kuleza mtima kumene ndikufunikira kuti ndigonjetse zinthu zimenezi. Pochita zimenezi, ndi bwino kudziwa kuti tili ndi Mkulu wa Ansembe, Yesu, amene amamvetsa zofooka zathu komanso amene amachonderera Mulungu kuti atithandize, monga momwe timawerengera pa Aheberi 7:25.
Kupeza zipatso m'moyo wanga
Koma pali zambiri kuposa kungosakwiya ndi kukwiya, ndi zina zotero. Ndinafunikiradi zipatso za Mzimu. Kukoma mtima, kuleza mtima, ubwino ndi chikondi chakuya chimene ndinkafuna kupatsa ana anga. Ndinawerenga momveka bwino za iwo pa Agalatiya 5:22, koma ndimafika bwanji kumeneko?
Chipatso ndi chotulukapo cha chinachake chomwe chakula kuchokera ku mbewu yaing'ono kupita ku chipatso chokhwima, chokhwima, chomwe chimakhala ndi kukoma kokoma kwa ena kuti asangalale. Momwemonso chipatso cha Mzimu chiri chotulukapo cha mbewu yaing'ono ya Mawu a Mulungu imene imakula m'kupita kwa nthaŵi mwa kuchita mokhulupirika zimene Mzimu akunena. Baibulo limati mu Agalatiya 5:16: "Zimene ndikunena ndi izi: Mzimu atsogolere miyoyo yanu, ndipo simudzakwaniritsa zokhumba za chikhalidwe cha munthu."
Kuti ndichite zimenezi ndiyenera kukhala ndi Mawu a Mulungu mumtima mwanga ndi m'maganizo mwanga. Ndiye ana anga akabwera kunyumba atakhumudwa, kapena mwana wanga akulira nthawi zonse, kapena chirichonse chimene chiri, ndikhoza kupita kwa Mulungu m'pemphero ndikumvetsera mawu a Mzimu mumtima mwanga, kuti ndisachite mogwirizana ndi chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu, koma m'malo mwake kusonyeza kukoma mtima, ubwino, kufatsa ndi kuleza mtima - mosasamala kanthu za momwe ndikumvera kwenikweni. Ndikakhala wokhulupirika pochita zimenezi, ndiye kuti chipatso cha Mzimu chidzakhala mbali ya chikhalidwe changa, ndipo ana anga adzakhala ndi ubwana wachimwemwe pansi pa chisonkhezero chimenechi.
Tangoganizani nyumba yomwe bambo ndi amayi ali odzaza ndi chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, kukoma mtima, ubwino, kukhulupirika, kufatsa ndi kudziletsa. Ndi mkhalidwe wakumwamba chotani nanga kwa ana kukula, ndi kukula kukhala achikulire otetezereka, odalirika, achikondi, opembedza. Kodi zimenezi si zimene timafuna kwa ana athu? Kodi zimenezi sizimayambitsa kulakalaka kwakukulu mwa tonsefe kukhala kholo loterolo?
N'zotheka kuti inu ndi ine, mothandizidwa ndi Mulungu, tikhale ndi moyo woterewu ndi kupeza chipatso cha Mzimu m'moyo wathu wa tsiku ndi tsiku, ku ulemu ndi chitamando cha Mulungu!
