Zaka zingapo zapitazo, ndinadutsa nthawi yovuta kwambiri. Ndinakhumudwa kwambiri polimbana ndi tchimo mwa ine ndekha ndipo ndinali wokonzeka kusiya kotheratu. Zinali zovuta kwambiri. Moyo wonse wolimbana ndi uchimo unangooneka kukhala wotopetsa kwambiri. Kodi ndingapumule liti pang'ono? Kodi ndingathe bwanji "kusatopa ndi kuchita zabwino", monga momwe zalembedwera pa Agalatiya 6:9?
Ndi chilimbikitso choleza mtima kwambiri kuchokera kwa amayi anga, posakhalitsa ndinazindikira kuti vuto linali lakuti sindinaonenso cholinga changa. "Popanda masomphenya, anthu amawonongeka." —Miyambo 29:18. Zimenezi zinali kukwaniritsidwa m'moyo wanga. Ndinkangoyang'ana moyo wanga pano padziko lapansi pano ndipo ndinaiwala kuyembekezera umuyaya. Kodi msilikali angapitirize bwanji kumenya nkhondo, pamene sakuwona cholinga chomwe chili patsogolo pake - kutha kwa nkhondo, ndi cholinga chomwe anali kumenyera nkhondo?
Kodi masomphenya anga ndi otani?
Mose anasankha "kuvutika ndi anthu a Mulungu m'malo mosangalala ndi uchimo kwa kanthawi kochepa ... chifukwa anali kufunafuna mphoto ya Mulungu." Ahebri 11:25-26.
Ndinayamba kufufuza m'Mawu a Mulungu kuti ndidziwe kuti mphoto imeneyi ndi yotani kwenikweni. "Kwa iye wogonjetsa ndidzapereka [kupereka] kukhala ndi Ine pa mpando Wanga wachifumu, monga inenso ndinagonjetsa ndi kukhala pansi ndi Atate Wanga pa mpando Wake wachifumu." Chivumbulutso 3:21. Lonjezo limenelo lokha limamveka ngati chifukwa chokwanira kugonjetsa uchimo wonse m'moyo wanga! Koma mwa kuwerenga kwanga ndinapezanso zambiri:
Kumwamba, ndidzakhala pamodzi ndi onse amene atsatira Yesu pa njira yogonjetsera uchimo – kuyambira ophunzira oyambirira, mpaka mayi anga okondedwa. Padzakhala mtendere wangwiro ndi mgwirizano kumeneko - osakhudzidwa ndi uchimo. Sindidzakhalanso wachisoni chifukwa cha tchimo limene ndimapeza m'chikhalidwe changa. M'malo mwake, mwachibadwa ndidzasonyeza ubwino, chikondi, chimwemwe; makhalidwe onse amene ndimapeza ndikagonjetsa uchimo!
Ndidzakhala ndi Yesu, amene ndimamukonda kuposa china chilichonse, kwamuyaya!
Kusintha kosangalatsa
Ndikukumbukira ndikuganiza pa nthawiyo, kuti ngakhale kukhala ndi moyo kwa Mulungu kunapangitsa tsiku lililonse padziko lino lapansi kukhala nkhondo yaikulu kwambiri, ngakhale nditamva koopsa kwa moyo wanga wonse, zingakhalebe zoyenera pamapeto pake pamene ndinakumana ndi Yesu ndi kulandira mphoto yanga.
Choncho ndinachita. Ndinapereka zonse zomwe ndingathe. Ndinasiya zonse ndi kupereka mtima wanga moyenera kwa Mulungu. Ndinadziuza kuti, "Moyo umodzi wokha waufupi wa chisoni ndiyeno ndikhoza kulowa m'chimwemwe chimene Mulungu wandilonjeza."
Koma chinthu chosangalatsa chinachitika. M'malo mokhala wovutika, ndinakhala wosangalala! Ndinakumana ndi mawu amene Mulungu anauza Abulahamu pa Genesis 15:1 : "Usachite mantha, Abramu. Ine ndine chishango chanu, mphoto yanu yaikulu kwambiri."
Ndi Mulungu monga chishango changa, ndi maso anga atayang'ana pa chonulirapo kutsogolo, ndikhoza kukhala ndi moyo popanda kugonjera konse ku uchimo. Ndikabwera m'mayesero tsopano, zimandibweretsera chimwemwe, chifukwa ndikuwona zomwe ndikulimbana nazo, m'malo mongoyang'ana kuvutika. Iwo ndi mwayi umene umandithandiza kundibweretsa pafupi ndi cholinga chimenecho, ngati ndiwatenga m'njira yoyenera.
Malingaliro amdima, olemera amenewo angakondebe kundigwira pamene zinthu zikuvuta, koma ndikudziŵa tsopano kuti magwero a malingaliro amenewo ali osakhulupirira malonjezo a Mulungu. Ndipo ndikhoza kuwagonjetsa mwa kusankha kukhulupirira Mawu a Mulungu ndi kuyang'ana kutsogolo ku chonulirapocho.
Kulawa mphoto
Ndipo cinthu comwe ndidapeza n'chakuti musafunika kudikhira toera kufika kudzulu toera kulawa mphotho ya kukhulupirika kwanu. Dalitso lochokera kwa Mulungu limayamba kale pano m'moyo uno. Kugonjetsa uchimo kwandipatsa mtendere ndi chimwemwe, ndipo nkhondo zimene ndiyenera kumenya n'zazifupi ndi zomalizira. Mulungu amandipatsa mphamvu kuti ndisatope m'mayesero anga, ndipo ndimatsitsimulidwa mumzimu wanga ndikawerenga Mawu Ake.
Zalembedwa kuti maso a Ambuye akuthamanga pa dziko lonse lapansi, kuthandiza anthu amene mitima yawo ili kwathunthu kwa Iye, ndipo ichi ndi chitonthozo changa. (2 Mbiri 16:9). Ndi Mulungu pambali panga ndi cholinga changa pamaso panga, sindingathe kugonjetsedwa pa nkhondo yanga yolimbana ndi uchimo. Tithokoze Mulungu chifukwa cha malonjezo amene Iye wapereka kwa anthu amene ali okhulupirika kwa Iye!
