Mwapempha Yesu kuti abwere m'moyo wanu, mumayika zinthu mwadongosolo ndi anthu monga momwe mukudziwira, mwalandira chikhululukiro chifukwa cha machimo anu, ndipo muli ndi mtendere ndi Mulungu. Mtolo wachotsedwa kwa inu ndipo mumamva kuwala ndi kukonzekera moyo watsopano watanthauzo mwa Khristu.
Baibulo limati, "M'mbuyomu munali akufa chifukwa munachimwa ndi kumenyana ndi Mulungu. Munatsatira njira za dzikoli ndi kumvera mdyerekezi. Iye akulamulira dziko, ndipo mzimu wake uli ndi mphamvu pa aliyense amene samvera Mulungu. Nthaŵi ina tinalamulidwanso ndi zikhumbo zadyera za matupi ndi maganizo athu [chibadwa chathu chaumunthu chochimwa]. Tinali titakwiyitsa Mulungu, ndipo tinali kudzalangidwa ngati wina aliyense." Aefeso 2:1-3 (CEV).
Tikuwona pano mmene chifundo cha Mulungu chiriri chachikulu kwa kutipulumutsa ku mikhalidwe yooneka ngati yosatheka. Sikuti timangopulumutsidwa ku machimo athu, komanso ku chisonkhezero cha mphamvu zoipa za mizimu zomwe zinatipatsa mphamvu.
Moyo watsopano mwa Khristu = chikhumbo chatsopano chonse
Mavesi amenewa amatisonyezanso mmene moyo wathu monga Akristu uyenera kukhalira. Ngakhale tsopano, timapeza kuti timamangidwabe ndi chikhalidwe chathu—mmene timaganizira, mmene timachitira ndi anthu ena ndi mikhalidwe, mmene timachitira pamene malingaliro athu akukwera ndi kutsika, nthawi imene sitingathe kudziletsa kuchita zoipa.
Timapeza kuti nthawi zina "timalamuliridwa ndi zilakolako zadyera za matupi ndi maganizo athu" popanda kuzindikira pa nthawiyo. Timangowona pambuyo pake. Koma kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa tsopano ndi tisanapereke miyoyo yathu kwa Kristu ndikuti sitikufunanso kulamulidwa ndi zikhumbo zathu. Ndipo Mulungu ali ndi makonzedwe aakulu kaamba ka ife kuposa kungopitiriza kutikhululukira machimo amene timapitirizabe kuchita.
Timawerenga zambiri pa Aefeso 2:8-9 (NIRV), "Chisomo cha Mulungu chakupulumutsani chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chanu mwa Khristu. Chipulumutso chanu sichichokera pa chilichonse chimene mumachita. Ndi mphatso ya Mulungu. Sizichokera pa chilichonse chimene mwachita. Palibe amene angadzitamande chifukwa chopeza." Chifukwa tinakhulupirira, Mulungu anatipatsa mphatso ya chisomo Chake, ndipo Iye anatikhululukira machimo athu akale pamene tinamufunsa Iye.
Tiyenera kusunga chikhulupiriro ichi m'moyo wathu wonse wachikhristu: chikhulupiriro ichi chomwe chidzatipangitsa kuti tipitirize kupempha Mulungu chisomo – ndipo chisomo sichimangotanthauza kuti Mulungu amatichitira chifundo ndi kutikhululukira machimo athu. Chisomo ndi mphamvu Yake yomwe idzatithandiza nthawi iliyonse yomwe tikusowa (Ahebri 4:16).
Ndi mphamvu yomwe tiyenera kunena kuti "Ayi!" nthawi iliyonse yomwe tikuyesedwa kuti titsatire njira yathu yakale ya moyo kapena zizolowezi zathu zakale. Ndi mphamvu imene tingagwiritse ntchito kuti tisakwiye, kukayikira kapena kuchita nsanje, kapena kukwiya ndi ena chifukwa cha mmene tachitira. Kungatithandize kuti tiziwakhululukira ndi kuwapempherera! Mwachidule, mphamvu imene chisomo cha Mulungu chimatipatsa tikamapempha idzasintha miyoyo yathu.
Funani mphamvu kwa Mulungu kuti mukhale ndi moyo wogonjetsa
Umenewu ndi moyo wachikhristu—moyo umene timalimbana ndi uchimo ndi Satana; ndiponso kumene tingagonjetse monga mmene Yesu anagonjetsera (Chivumbulutso 3:21). Anagonjetsa uchimo mwa kumvera mawu a Atate Wake m'moyo Wake wonse, ndiyeno Iye anapambana chigonjetso Chake chomaliza pa Satana pamene Iye anapachikidwa pa mtanda wa Kalvari. Paulo akunena mu I Akorinto 1:18 kuti "uthenga wa mtanda ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu". Imeneyi ndiyo mphamvu imene timafunikiranso kukhala ndi moyo wogonjetsa.
Werenganinso:Uthenga wa mtanda: Chikhristu chothandiza
Yesu Mwiniyo akutiuza pa Luka 9:23 kuti: "Onse ofuna kudza pambuyo panga ayenera kukana okha, kutenga mtanda wawo tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi kunditsatira." Mzimu Woyera udzatipatsa mphamvu yotsatira mapazi a Yesu. Ndi mphamvu imene Yesu analonjeza ophunzira asanapite kumwamba. Kodi mphamvu imeneyi timaipeza bwanji? Mwa kungofuna kusangalatsa Ambuye!
Werenganinso:Kodi ntchito ya Mzimu Woyera ndi yotani?
Ganizirani kusintha kuchokera kwa munthu yemwe angakwiye pa chifukwa chaching'ono, kupita kwa munthu yemwe wakhala munthu wofatsa, woleza mtima. Pamene mkhalidwe wathu wonse wa maganizo uli kukondweretsa Mulungu yekha, pamenepo timalandira mphamvu ya kugonjetsa m'chiyeso. Umenewu ndi umboni waukulu kwambiri kwa iwo omwe amatidziwa - akaona kuti chinachake chachitika m'miyoyo yathu - tasintha!
Sitingachite zimenezi tokha
Kuti tikule monga Mkristu, timafunikira chakudya chauzimu. Timapeza chakudya ichi mwa kuwerenga Baibulo - chimatiuza momwe tingakhalire ndi moyo - komanso mwa kupemphera kuti tikhale ngati Yesu. Pamwamba pa izi, tikufunikira thandizo ndi chitsogozo cha Mzimu Woyera. Tingaŵerenge zimene chifuniro cha Mulungu chili m'Baibulo, ndipo Mzimu Woyera adzatifotokozera zimene zalembedwa. Tiyeneranso kusonkhana pamodzi ndi anthu amene akugonjetsa uchimo mmene akumvetsetsera. Kulankhulana wina ndi mnzake za chiyembekezo chathu chokhala ngati Yesu kumatithandiza kwambiri kukula m'moyo wathu.
Tiyenera kupita kwa Mulungu kuti atithandize. Iye ndi Atate wathu—Atate amene amangofuna zabwino kwa ana Ake—ndipo Amafuna kukhala ndi ubwenzi waumwini ndi aliyense wa ife.
"M'mawa uliwonse amandidzutsa. Amandiphunzitsa kumvetsera ngati wophunzira. Ambuye Mulungu amandithandiza kuphunzira, ndipo sindinam'tembenukire kapena kusiya kumutsatira." Yesaya 50:4-5 (NCV). Tiyeni tidzuke m'mawa uliwonse ndipo Mulungu alankhule nafe, atiphunzitse ndipo tiyeni tichite zimene Iye akunena. Adzatipatsa mphamvu zonse (chisomo) zomwe tiyenera kuchita monga momwe Iye wapempha. Izi ndi zomwe zimatanthauza kupereka miyoyo yathu kwa Yesu: ife omwe timayamba ngati ochimwa taitanidwa ndi Yesu kuti tikhale ndi moyo watsopano kwathunthu mwa Khristu - moyo womwe udzabweretse chitamando ku dzina Lake!
Mwapanga chosankha chabwino pamene munasankha kutembenukira kwa Yesu. Akufuna kukuthandizani ndi kukusinthirani kwathunthu kuchokera mkati. Amafuna kukudalitsani kwambiri kuposa mmene mungaganizire kapena kulakalaka. Khulupirirani Iye ndi mtima wanu wonse ndipo mudzakumana ndi zinthu zazikulu m'moyo wanu!
