Zosowa, pemphero ndi chiyamiko zili pamodzi
Kodi mumapemphera m'njira imene Baibulo limanena kuti muyenera kupemphera? Zosowa, pemphero ndi chiyamiko zili pamodzi. Mapemphero mamiliyoni ambiri amapemphera padziko lapansi tsiku lililonse, koma ambiri a iwo ndi mawu okha amene amanenedwa mwamsanga popanda kuganiza kwambiri.
Afarisi anapemphera mapemphero ambiri aatali kuti anthu aone kuti akupemphera. Sikuti ankaona kuti akufunika kwambiri chinthu chochokera kwa Mulungu chimene chinawachititsa kupemphera. Kwenikweni, Mulungu akuwauza kuti: Bweraninso pamene mukufuna chinachake chachindunji, pamene pakufunika m'mitima yanu chimene chimakusonkhezerani kupemphera, kufunafuna, ndi kugogoda. (Mateyu 7:7.) Umenewo ndiwo mtundu wa pemphero limene mkazi wamasiyeyo anapemphera amene anali m'kusoŵa kwakukulu kwa kupeza chilungamo pa mdani wake. (Luka 18:1-8.) Pemphero lake linali pemphero la chikhulupiriro; sanagonja asanalandire ufulu wake.
Lero mdani wathu ndi satana. M'chigwirizano ndi ichi Yesu akuti, "Kodi Mulungu sadzapatsa anthu ake osankhidwa chilungamo pamene afuula kwa iye kaamba ka thandizo usana ndi usiku?
Ndikhoza kutsimikizira kuti adzawapatsa chilungamo mwamsanga. Koma pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzadza, kodi adzapeza chikhulupiriro padziko lapansi?" Luka 18:7-8. Pamene ndikukhulupiriradi kuti ndidzagonjetsa uchimo m'moyo wanga, sindidzagonja konse kwa mdyerekezi, ngakhale kamodzi. Iye ayenera ndipo adzagonjetsedwa, ndipo chifukwa cha ichi ndiyenera kupeza thandizo—thandizo lalikulu.
M'Baibulo lina Mzimu Woyera umatchedwa "Mthandizi", ndipo okhawo amene akufunikiradi thandizo ndi amene amathandizidwa. Koma pali chikhulupiriro chochepa chimenechi padziko lapansi chimene tingagonjetse uchimo.
Mulungu amamva kulira kwa kusowa kuchokera mumtima
"Ndipo Mulungu wanga adzakupatsani zonse zimene mukufuna kuchokera ku chuma cha ulemerero wake mwa Khristu Yesu." Afilipi 4:19 . Chuma mwa Khristu ndi chachikulu kwambiri; koma tingalandire chuma chimenechi pokhapokha ngati tili ndi chosoŵa m'mitima yathu. Iye samamva mapemphero athu chifukwa chakuti timanena mawu oyenera mokweza, koma Iye amamva kulira kwa kusowa kuchokera mumtima mwathu, monga momwe zinalili ndi Hana, amene timamuwerenga pa 1 Samueli 1:13.
Mapemphero ambiri ndi okhudza thandizo panthawi ya matenda ndi zosowa zina za anthu, koma pali anthu ochepa okha omwe amafunikira chipulumutso chakuya, ndi ochepa okha omwe ali ndi njala ndi ludzu pambuyo pa chilungamo, ndi ochepa okha omwe amafunikira kupeza zambiri za chikhalidwe cha Khristu mwa iwo.
Pempherani ndi chiyamiko
Anthu ochepa kwambiri padziko lapansi pano amapemphera monga momwe Paulo ndi Epafra anapempherera. Iwo anamenyana m'mapemphero awo ndi cholinga chakuti aliyense akhale wangwiro ndi wathunthu m'chifuniro chonse cha Mulungu. (Akolose 1:9, 28,29)
Yesu akufuna kuti nthawi zonse tiziyamikira pemphero lililonse limene layankhidwa, chifukwa ngati tipemphera ndi kukhulupiriradi kuti Mulungu amatiyankha, ndiye kuti tidzamuthokoza ndi kumutamanda.
Mmodzi yekha mwa akhate khumiwo ndi amene anabwerera ndipo anayamikira Mulungu. (Luka 17:16.) Ndife oyamikira chotani nanga, tidzasonyeza m'mapemphero athu. Nthaŵi zambiri, kuyamikira kumeneku sikuli kozama kwambiri. Koma atumwi anapereka chitamando kwa Ambuye ndi chimwemwe ndi chiyamiko pamene iwo anakhoza kuwona moyo ndi chikhalidwe cha Yesu mwa anthu amene anali kukhala olimba m'chifuniro chonse cha Mulungu ndi m'zipatso zonse za Mzimu.
M'Pemphero la Ambuye timaŵerenga pakati pa zinthu zina, "Chifuniro chanu chichitike padziko lapansi monga kumwamba." Tsiku lililonse mawu awa amapemphera mofulumira popanda kuganiza kwambiri ndi anthu zikwizikwi; koma oŵerengeka okha ndiwo amakhulupiriradi ndi kumvetsetsa kuti chifuniro cha Mulungu chiyenera ndipo chingachitidwe m'moyo wa munthu, wa tsiku ndi tsiku monga momwe chimachitidwira kumwamba. Choncho ndi ochepa okha amene angathokoze Mulungu chifukwa chakuti zili choncho m'moyo wawo.
Chinali chikhumbo cha Paulo kuti utumiki wake utsogolere ku chiyamiko kwa Mulungu. (2 Akorinto 1:11; 2 Akorinto 4:15; 2 Akorinto 9:11-12.) Paulo anafuna kuti nkhani zonse zopanda pake ziloŵedwe m'malo ndi chiyamiko. (Aefeso 5:4.) Ndipo mu Afilipi 4:6 iye akuti, "Koma pempherani ndi kupempha Mulungu chilichonse- chinthu chimene mukufuna, nthawi zonse kuyamikira ..."
Pemphero ndi chiyamiko ndi pemphero la chikhulupiriro
Tiyenera kukhala olimba m'chikhulupiriro, "ndi kudzazidwa ndi chiyamiko." Akolose 2:7 . "Pitirizani kupemphera ndi kuyang'anira mapemphero anu ndi chiyamiko..." Akolose 4:2. Tikhoza kupemphera tokha mu mdima ndi kupanda chiyembekezo ngati sititero, mwa chikhulupiriro chonse, kutamanda ndi kuthokoza Mulungu kuchokera m'mitima yathu. Oyera mtima m'pangano lakale anapambana adani awo chifukwa chakuti anakhulupirira Mulungu mwamphamvu, ngakhale pamene zinawoneka kukhala zosatheka.
Pamene Yona anali mumdima wakuya, m'mimba mwa nsomba, timaŵerenga kuti, "Koma ndidzakuimbira matamando; Ndidzakupatsani nsembe ndi kuchita zimene ndalonjeza. Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Ambuye! Kenako Yehova analamula nsombazo kuti zilavulire Yona pagombe, ndipo zinaterodi." Yona 2:9-10.
"Kupatsa chiyamiko kuperekera nsembe yanu kwa Mulungu, ndi kupatsa Wamphamvuyonse zonse zimene munalonjeza. Itanani kwa ine pamene mavuto abwera; Ndidzakupulumutsani, ndipo mudzanditamanda." Salmo 50:14-15.
