Tinkakhala pa famu yaing'ono, ndipo pambali pa nyumba yathu panali khola. Amayi anga ankapita ku khola ndi kupemphera kumeneko. Iye anapemphera mwamphamvu kwambiri kwakuti ife ana tinali kumva kuchokera panyumba ndi pamene tinali kuseŵera panja. Iye anapemphera kuti tidziŵe Mulungu ndi mphamvu Zake ndi kuti tipeŵe zoipa. Tinamva mapemphero ake ndipo zimenezo zinatipatsa ife kulakalaka kufunafunanso Mulungu.

Pamene ndinali ndi zaka pafupifupi 16, ndinafunadi kukhala ndi moyo wogonjetsa uchimo, moyo umene ndinamva ndi kuwona mwa okhulupirira ena amene anatichezera.
Panthaŵiyo ndinali m'tchalitchi cha Pentekosite, koma ndinayamba kuona kusiyana pakati pa alendo ameneŵa ndi alaliki m'tchalitchi changa. Panali mzimu mwa amuna ameneŵa umene unachitira umboni za moyo umene anakhalamo. Ndinafuna kupeza moyo umodzimodziwo.
Mwachibadwa, ndinali mnyamata wokwiya kwambiri, wosaleza mtima, ndi wamwano. Ndikakwiya, ndinkakalipira makolo anga. Kwenikweni sindinafune kukhala choncho choncho ndinapita kumalo kumene ndikanakhala ndekha ndipo ndinapemphera kuti Mulungu andichitire chifundo. Ndinapemphera kuti ndisinthe.

Mphamvu ya pemphero kaamba ka banja langa
Kupyolera m'pemphero, moyo wanga wasungidwa kuti usakhale wogwidwa ndi uchimo ndi chiwonongeko, monga momwe amayi anga anapempherera zaka zonsezo zapitazo. Pambuyo pake, pamene ndinali ndi banja langa, ndinakumananso ndi mphamvu ya pemphero, makamaka ndi mwana wanga wamwamuna wamng'ono kwambiri amene ali ndi matenda amene amaletsa mwazi wake kuundana bwino.
Nthaŵi ina mwana wanga wamwamuna anafunikira kupita ku opaleshoni. Pambuyo pa opaleshoni, anadwala chibayo, ndi malungo aakulu. Ine ndi mkazi wanga tinali kuchipatala, koma ndinadwala ndipo tinayenera kuchoka. Mkazi wanga anakhala naye kumeneko. Tinalinso ndi ana panyumba amene anafunikira chisamaliro chathu. Usiku, mkazi wanga anaimbira foni n'kunena kuti mwana wathu wamwamuna ayenera kukhala m'chipatala kwa milungu ina iŵiri.
Usiku umenewo, ndinaimbira foni okhulupirira aŵiri okhulupirika ndi kuwapempha ngati nawonso angapempherere mnyamata wathu. Chinthu choyamba m'mawa wotsatira, ndinaimbira foni ndi kufunsa mkazi wanga kuti mwana wathu ayenera kukhala m'chipatala kwa nthaŵi yaitali bwanji. Mkazi wanga ananena kuti mnyamata wathu anachiritsidwa kotheratu. Pakati pausiku, anali atachira kotheratu. Ndinangofunika kubwera kudzawatengera kunyumba.
Kupemphera kwa Mulungu n'kofunika kwambiri pa moyo. Zimatsegula zitseko zothandizira, mphamvu, chitonthozo, njira zothetsera, ndi zozizwitsa zomwe munthu sangachite payekha. Pa nthawi ina ndinawerenga m'mapepala kuti boma lidzasiya kulipira mankhwala ofunikira pa matenda a mwana wanga.

Ndinapempha Mulungu kuti andithandize kuti asapereke nkhawa ndi mantha amenewa. Mulungu anandipatsa vesi la pa Aheberi 12:28 (NLT), "Popeza tikulandira Ufumu wosagwedezeka, tiyeni tikhale oyamikira ndi kusangalatsa Mulungu mwa kumulambira ndi mantha oyera ndi mantha." Kenaka nkhaŵa yanga ndi mantha zinatha. Pambuyo pake boma linachotsa mapulani ake ndipo linapitiriza kulipira mankhwalawo.

Pemphero ndi chimodzi mwa mizati yayikulu m'moyo wanga
Zalembedwa pa Yakobo 5:16 (NLT) kuti "pemphero lochokera pansi pa mtima la munthu wolungama lili ndi mphamvu yaikulu". Ngati mapemphero anga akufuna kukhala ndi mphamvu yaikulu, ndiye kuti ndiyenera kukhala ndi moyo wolungama. Chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa ife ndicho kukhala oyera (1 Atesalonika 4:3). Tikamapemphera mogwirizana ndi chifuniro Chake, ndiye kuti timadziwa kuti Iye amatimva (1 Yohane 5:14). Sizikutanthauza kuti Iye adzatimva pamene tikupempherera ndalama zambiri, galimoto yabwino kapena nyumba yabwino. Koma pamene ine kupemphera chifukwa ine ndikuona kufooka kwanga, ndiye Iye amandipatsa mphamvu ndi thandizo kugonjetsa.
Pemphero ndi chimodzi mwa mizati yaikulu m'moyo wanga. Mfundo yakuti ndikhoza kupita kwa Mulungu ndi kupeza thandizo ndi mwayi waukulu kwambiri umene ulipo. Mulungu anandilenga ndipo amadziwa zofooka zanga zonse ndipo Iye akufuna kundithandiza. Pa zochitika zomwe ndikukumana nazo, Iye amandiwonetsa tchimo lomwe lili mu chikhalidwe changa; Amandipatsa Mawu Ake ndipo mwadzidzidzi zonse zimakhala zomveka bwino, ndipo ndimapeza thandizo kuti ndigonjetse.
Izi zimandipangitsa kuyamikira kwambiri ndipo ndimamva kukhala wotetezeka komanso wotetezeka chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti Iye sadzandilepheretsa konse!
