Enoki akutchulidwa kangapo kokha m'Baibulo. Choyamba timamva za iye pa Genesis 5:21-24 pamene pamati: "Enoki anakhala mogwirizana kwambiri ndi Mulungu kwa zaka zina 300, ndipo anali ndi ana ena aamuna ndi aakazi. Enoki anakhala ndi moyo zaka 365, akumayenda mogwirizana kwambiri ndi Mulungu. Ndiyeno tsiku lina anasowa, chifukwa Mulungu anamutenga."
Ndipo kenako pa Aheberi 11:5 akutchulidwanso, ndipo ndi bwino kuona zimene zikunenedwa za iye kuti: "Ndi chikhulupiriro kuti Enoki anatengedwa kupita kumwamba popanda kufa—'anazimiririka, chifukwa Mulungu anamutenga.' Pakuti asanatengedwe, ankadziwika kuti ndi munthu amene anakondweretsa Mulungu."
Umboni wa Enoki
Sitiwerenga zambiri zokhudza munthu wachikhulupiriro ameneyu, mavesi ochepa chabe, koma chifukwa cha umboni umene Enoki anali nawo, okhulupirira ambiri amadziwa dzina lake. Iye "anayenda mogwirizana kwambiri ndi Mulungu" ndipo "anakondweretsa Mulungu". Kodi pangakhale umboni wabwino? Kodi pangakhale ntchito yapamwamba m'moyo? Kodi pali chilichonse chofunika kwambiri pa moyo uno?
Tingaonenso kuchokera pa Genesesi 5, kuti Enoki anakhalako m'masiku amene Nowa anali atangotsala pang'ono kuchitika. Zalembedwa za nthawi imeneyo kuti "pamene Ambuye anaona kuti aliyense padziko lapansi anali woipa bwanji komanso maganizo awo anali oipa nthawi zonse, anamva chisoni kuti anawapangapo n'kuwaika padziko lapansi. Anadzazidwa kwambiri ndi chisoni." Genesesi 6:5-6.
Tangoganizani mmene ziyenera kuti zinatanthauzira kwa Mulungu, kuti pamene Iye anayang'ana dziko lapansi ndi chilengedwe Chake ndi kuona mmene linagwera ndi kuipa kwake, Iye anaonabe munthu mmodzi amene anayenda naye; amene anafuna kukondweretsa Iye. Umenewu unali umboni womwewo umene mdzukulu wa Enoki Nowa anali nawo.
Tili ndi chitsanzo chodabwitsa chotani nanga mwa Enoki. Anakhala ndi moyo wachikhulupiriro. Inali njira ya moyo kwa iye; anayenda ndi Mulungu. Iye analola Mulungu kumusonyeza njira yoyenera, ndi mmene anali kukondweretsa Mulungu. Ndipo chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chake, Mulungu anatenga Enoki kuti akhale naye.
Tingayende ndi Mulungu
Masiku ano, Mulungu amayang'ananso pansi pa dziko lapansi n'kuona dziko lodzala ndi anthu amene "amakonda zosangalatsa m'malo mokonda Mulungu", monga momwe timawerengera pa 2 Timoteyo 3:4. Tangolingalirani mmene zidzakondweretsera Iye pamene Iye awona anthu okhulupirika kwa Iye, amene amayenda ndi Iye! Awo amene ali "ana a Mulungu opanda liwongo ndi oyera, osalakwa ozingidwa ndi anthu okhotakhota ndi achinyengo. Pakati pa anthu amenewa mumawala ngati nyenyezi m'dzikoli." Afilipi 2:15.
Pakati pa dziko loipali, tingakhale ndi umboni wakuti timayenda ndi Mulungu ndi kuti timakondweretsa Mulungu. Timachita zimenezi mwa kusiya chifuniro chathu ndi zilakolako zake zauchimo ndi zikhumbo zake chifukwa chakuti timakonda Mulungu ndipo timafuna kumtumikira ndi kumvera chifuniro Chake. Tikhoza kukhala a anthu amene akufotokozedwa pa Akolose 3:1 amene amafunafuna zinthu zimene zili pamwamba ndi kukana zonse zochokera m'dzikoli.
Cholinga chathu chiyenera kukhala ndi umboni wofanana ndi umene Enoki anali nawo. Osati chifukwa chakuti tikufuna kudziwika ndi chinachake, koma kuti tithe kulemekeza Mulungu ndi miyoyo yathu. Kotero kuti aliyense amene amatidziwa, amadziwa izi za ife: kuti tiyende ndi Mulungu ndikukhala ndi moyo kuti tikondweretse Iye.
Mmene mungayende ndi Mulungu
Kodi kuyenda ndi Mulungu pa moyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku kumatanthauzanji? Zimatanthauza kuti nthawi zonse timakhala pafupi ndi Iye. Timam'dziŵa mwa kuŵerenga Mawu Ake. Iye ndi amene timapita kuti atipatse malangizo onse, chitonthozo, ndi mphamvu. "Yehova ndiye thanthwe langa, linga langa, ndi mpulumutsi wanga; Mulungu wanga ndiye thanthwe langa, limene ndimapeza chitetezo. Iye ndi chishango changa, mphamvu imene imandipulumutsa, ndi malo anga otetezeka." —Salimo 18:2.
Timafunafuna chifuniro Chake ndi kuchita chifuniro Chake. "Chifuniro chanu chichitike padziko lapansi monga mmene chilili kumwamba." Luka 11:2. Timamvera zonse zimene Iye amalamula. Sitimangochita zinthu zingapo zakunja. Timayesetsa kupeza mmene tingam'tumikire bwino, mmene tingamukondweretsere bwino.
Ndiyeno kumapeto kwa nthawi yathu padziko lapansi, Mulungu adzatitenga kuti tikhale naye. Ngati tili okhulupirika poyenda ndi Mulungu masiku athu onse, ndiye kuti tsiku lina tidzayenda mpaka kalekale, kuti tikhale naye mpaka kalekale.
