Mtumwi Paulo analemba mawu akuti, "Khalani oyamikira mu nyengo zonse ..." 1 Atesalonika 5:18 (NLT).
Kodi iye amakhala bwanji woyamika mu nyengo zonse - m'ndende, kumenyedwa, m'mikhalidwe yonse yomwe anthu ambiri angapeze yomvetsa chisoni komanso yosapiririka? Ndi chifukwa chakuti Paulo anakhulupirira Mulungu kuti adzamusamalira m'njira yabwino kwambiri (Aroma 8:28) pamene iye mwini anasumika maganizo pa "zinthu zimene zili pamwamba pamene Khristu akukhala kumbali ya kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu." Akolose 3:1 (CEB).
Chikhulupiriro chimatheketsa "kukhala wosangalala nthawi zonse"
Nthawi zonse ankayang'ana kwambiri pa kufunafuna zinthu zimenezo m'chibadwa chake chaumunthu zomwe sizingagwirizane ndi ufumu wakumwamba—malo amene mtima wake unalakalaka. Ndipo pamene zinthu zinamutsutsa—monga momwe amachitira nthawi zambiri kwa ife—anaona mmene ankafunira kudandaula kapena ngakhale kubwezera zoipa ndi zoipa. Koma chisomo chimene analandira mwa chikhulupiriro chake mwa Kristu Yesu chinamtheketsa kukana zinthu zoipa zimene anaona mwa iye mwini, ndipo chinachake chatsopano ndi chosatha ndi chakumwamba chinadza m'malo mwake. Ndicho chifukwa chake nthawi zonse akhoza kuyamikira.
Paulo analemba m'kalata yake yopita kwa Aroma kuti, "Tili odzala ndi chimwemwe ngakhale pamene tikuvutika." Aroma 5:3 (NIRV). Iye analandira mavuto chifukwa chakuti anali wotsimikiza kuti chinachake chosatha chinali kulengedwa mwa iye ngati akanangosunga chikhulupiriro chamoyo mwa Mulungu! Iye anali atalandira chikhulupiriro chomwe chinam'patsa mphamvu "yosangalala nthawi zonse" ndi kuyamikira chilichonse, ngakhale zinthu zimene zinali zosasangalatsa, kapena zimene zinaoneka ngati zosapiririka kotheratu.
Kuyamikira kwake kunalemekezadi Mulungu! Ndipo akutiuza kuchita chimodzimodzi: "Khalani oyamikira m'mikhalidwe yonse, pakuti ichi ndicho chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa inu amene muli a Kristu Yesu." 1 Atesalonika 5:18 (NLT). N'chifukwa chake Paulo anali ndi "phwando" mumtima mwake, nthawi zonse, m'mikhalidwe yonse. Tiyeni titsatire Paulo m'zimenezi, pamene anali kutsatira Kristu!
