M’matchalitchi ambiri, atumwi nthawi zambiri amatchedwa Paulo Woyera, Petro Woyera, Yohane Woyera, ndi ena otero. Kuwatcha atumwi amenewa “oyera mtima” kungapangitse anthu kuganiza kuti n’zosatheka kutsatira mapazi a atumiki a Ambuye amenewa. Zingakhale zoyenera kwambiri kuwatcha abale oyera mtima, chifukwa ndi zimene ali. Tikamawerenga makalata awo, timaona kuti akulembera abale ndi alongo awo mwa Ambuye. Mwa zina, Paulo analemba kuti, “Tsatirani chitsanzo changa, monga ine ndimatsatira chitsanzo cha Khristu.” 1 Akorinto 11:1.
Tsatirani chitsanzo chawo
Kwa Timoteo, m’bale wake komanso wantchito mnzake, analemba kuti, “Tsono iwe umadziwa zimene ndimaphunzitsa, makhalidwe anga, cholinga changa, chikhulupiriro changa, kuleza mtima kwanga, chikondi changa, ndi kupirira kwanga. …” 2 Timoteyo 3:10. Uwu ndi umboni wa m’bale kwa m’bale wake. Mawu amenewa satipangitsa kuganiza kuti tikukamba za “Paulo Woyera” wakutali amene palibe amene angamutsatire.
Tikamawerenga zolemba za abale amenewa, timadziwa kuti anali atumwi ndi zida zamphamvu m’manja mwa Mulungu. Koma tiyenera kusamala kuti tisaganize kuti n’zosatheka kuti ifenso tiyende m’mapazi awo. N’zoona kuti tilibe utumiki wawo, koma tayitanidwa kutsatira moyo wa Khristu umene iwo ankakhala: “Tikukulalikirani za moyo wosatha umene unali ndi Atate ndipo unaonekera kwa ife ....kuti inuyo muyanjane nafe. Kuyanjana kwathu, tikuyanjana ndi Atate ndiponso ndi Mwana wawo Yesu Khristu.” 1 Yohane 1:2-3. Ndipo Yohane analemba kuti, “Ine, Yohane, m’bale wanu ndi mnzanu... …” Chivumbulutso 1:9.
Amuna oyera mtima amenewa ndi atumiki a Mulungu ndi abale athu, ndipo Yesu, Mbuye mwiniwake, sachita manyazi kutcha abale ake anthu amene amakhala moyo woyeretsedwa. Izi n’zimene atumwi amenewa anachitanso. Ahebri 2:11. Kachisi woyera, amene ndi mpingo wa Mulungu, ali ndi atumwi ndi aneneri monga maziko ake. Mwala wapangodya waukulu, umene ndi mwala wofunika kwambiri ndipo umatsogolera zinthu zina zonse, ndi Yesu Khristu mwiniwake. Aefeso 2:19-22.
Petro akulemba kuti tiyenera kumangidwa monga miyala yamoyo kuti tikhale nyumba yauzimu (1 Petro 2:5). Kwa “miyala yamoyo” imeneyi, chofunika kwambiri ndi mmene Mwala Wapangodya Wamkulu anayankhira, kumene mapazi ake akutsogolera komanso kumene mapazi a atumwi akutsogolera. Ndipo tikulimbikitsidwa kutsatira mapazi amenewa. Tiyenera kukhala bwino m’nyumbayo pamodzi ndi miyala ina yonse imene yaumbidwa m’kupita kwa nthawi mogwirizana ndi Mawu a Mulungu.

Ku Afilipi 3, Paulo akutilimbikitsanso kuti tikhale otsatira ake ndi kuyang’ana anthu amene anatsatira chitsanzo chake, monga mmene iyeyo anatsatira chitsanzo cha Yesu. Tikuona kuti chikhumbo chokha cha Paulo chinali kutsatira mapazi a Mbuye. Uyu ndiye Paulo, m’bale wathu. Iye anatha kunena kuti, “Tsatirani chitsanzo changa, monga mmene ine ndimatsatira chitsanzo cha Khristu.” Akunena kuti anali asanapeze zonsezi, koma anali kuyesetsa kuzifikira ndi kugwira ntchito mwakhama kuti apambane korona wachigonjetso amene anaitanidwa kuti apambane.

Nyumba ya Mulungu imamangidwa pa zochita ndi choonadi, kuyambira pa maziko mpaka pa mwala womalizira wa pamwamba.
