"Musakopere khalidwe ndi miyambo ya dzikoli, koma Mulungu akusintheni kukhala munthu watsopano posintha mmene mukuganizira. Mukatero mudzaphunzira kudziwa chifuniro cha Mulungu kwa inu, chimene chili chabwino ndi chosangalatsa ndi changwiro." Aroma 12:2.
Kodi kusandulika kumatanthauzanji? Zimatanthauza kusinthidwa - osati pang'ono chabe, koma kusinthidwa kwathunthu. Ndipo chikhumbo chachikulu koposa cha Mulungu kwa ife nchakuti tingasinthe kotheratu kuchoka pa kukhala anthu okhala ndi mkhalidwe wauchimo kukhala kugawana mkhalidwe Wake waumulungu waulemerero, wangwiro. Izi zikutanthauza kuti chikhalidwe chathu, malingaliro athu ndi zizolowezi zathu zikhoza kusinthidwa kwathunthu. Tingasinthe kuchoka pa kukhala anthu ochimwa, omvetsa chisoni kukhala odzala ndi ulemerero ndi ubwino wa Mulungu! Limeneli ndilo lonjezo lalikulu koposa limene lilipo!
"... watipatsa malonjezo aakulu ndi amtengo wapatali. Awa ndiwo malonjezo amene amakuthandizani kugawana chikhalidwe chake chaumulungu [chaumulungu] ndi kuthaŵa chivundi cha dziko chochititsidwa ndi zikhumbo za anthu." 2 Petro 1:4.
Kodi tikusinthidwa motani?
Kusintha kukhala ngati Yesu Khristu (Aroma 8:29) kumawononga chinachake. Kuti ndigawane chikhalidwe chaumulungu ndiyenera kusiya chikhalidwe changa chakale. N'chifukwa chake Yesu ananena kuti "chipata chopapatiza ndi chovuta ndi njira yotsogolera ku moyo, ndipo pali ochepa amene amachipeza." (Mateyu 7:14.) Ndi chifukwa chakuti pali ochepa kwambiri omwe ali ofunitsitsa kusiya chikhalidwe chawo chakale chaumunthu.
Njira imeneyi yosinthidwa idzachitika m'moyo wanga wonse. Kuti ndiyambe ndondomekoyi, choyamba ndiyenera kuvomereza kuti chibadwa changa chaumunthu ndi chopanda pake, choopsa komanso chodzaza ndi uchimo. Ndiyenera kukhala ndi kulira mumtima mwanga, "Ndine munthu womvetsa chisoni bwanji!" (Aroma 7:24.) Ndiyenera kufika pamene ndikuvomereza kuti sindingathe kutumikira Mulungu monga momwe ndiriri. Chikhalidwe changa sichitha kungokhala "chokhazikika". Ndiyenera kukhala chilengedwe chatsopano kotheratu. (Agalatiya 6:15.)
Ndipo pamene ndawonadi ndikuvomereza kuti palibe chabwino mu chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu (Aroma 7:18), ndiye kuti ndakonzeka kusiya chikhalidwe changa chakale posinthana ndi chikhalidwe chatsopano. Kenako ndakonzeka kusinthidwa.
Ndipo Mulungu adzandisonyeza mmene kusintha kumeneku kumabwera pang'ono ndi pang'ono, podzafika nthawi iliyonse kunena kuti Ayi ku tchimo lomwe limachokera ku chikhalidwe changa chaumunthu, mwa kusagonja mpaka chikhumbo chofuna kuchita tchimo limenelo chifa mwa ine. Masana anga pali zochitika zosiyanasiyana zomwe ndimapeza kuti ndiwone, mwachitsanzo, kusaleza mtima kwanga, nsanje yanga, mkwiyo wanga, dyera langa, kukayikira kwanga, kunyada kwanga etc. Mwa kukana malingaliro ameneŵa pamene ndiyesedwa ku machimo ameneŵa ndi kusawalola kukula, iwo adzafa pamapeto pake. (Akolose 3:5.) Ndimakana malingaliro ameneŵa ndi kulola Mulungu kusintha mbali imeneyo ya ine. Nthawi iliyonse ndikachita zimenezi, ndimapita patsogolo panjira yopapatiza.
Choncho pamene, mwachitsanzo, lingaliro la nsanje limabwera mwa ine, ndiye kuti ndikhoza kukana . Kukana kulola kukula! Malingaliro a nsanje ali osiyana ndi chibadwa chaumulungu monga momwe usiku ulili ndi usana! Kwenikweni pamafunika chozizwitsa kuti chisinthe kuchoka pa kugwirizana ndi malingaliro ochimwa oterowo kukhala kupeza mkhalidwe waumulungu m'mbali imeneyi. Ndiyenera kufuula kwa Mulungu kuti andipulumutse ku tchimo limeneli ndipo ndiyenera kupemphera kuti Iye andipatse mphamvu kuti ndisapereke konse ku malingaliro ochimwa awa! Ndikupemphera kuti Iye adzandisinthiratu m'dera lino.
Ndipo Mzimu Woyera amandipatsa mphamvu ya kusagonja ku lingaliro lauchimo limenelo. Ndipo pamapeto pake, pamene ili "yakufa", Mulungu amandipatsa chidutswa chaching'ono cha chikhalidwe chaumulungu m'malo mwake. Ngakhale m'mikhalidwe imene imawoneka kukhala yosafunika kwenikweni, ndikhoza kukhala ndi phande m'malonjezo amtengo wapatali amenewo ndi kupeza mbali pang'ono ya mkhalidwe waumulungu, moyo wosatha! Mulungu akuchita chozizwitsa mwa ine. Ndi chisonkhezero chotani nanga cha kukhala wokhulupirika!
"Muzisangalala ndi zimenezi, ngakhale kuti tsopano zingakhale zofunika kuti mukhale ndi chisoni kwa kanthawi chifukwa cha mitundu yambiri ya mayesero amene mukuvutika nawo. Cholinga chawo ndi kutsimikizira kuti chikhulupiriro chanu n'chenicheni. Ngakhale golide, amene angawonongedwe, amayesedwa ndi moto; ndipo kotero chikhulupiriro chanu, chomwe chiri chamtengo wapatali kwambiri kuposa golidi, chiyeneranso kuyesedwa, kuti chipirire. Pamenepo mudzalandira chitamando ndi ulemerero ndi ulemu pa Tsiku limene Yesu Kristu adzaululidwa." 1 Petro 1:6-7.
Mukhoza kusinthidwa tsiku lililonse
Tsiku lililonse lili ndi mipata yambiri yoti ndisinthe. Koma ngati sindikuwona mwayi umenewu, ngati sindikuwona tchimo mwa ine ndikukana, ndiye kuti ndikuwononga masiku anga ndikukhala tsiku lililonse ndi cholinga cholakwika!
Ndondomeko imeneyi ya kusinthidwa si chinthu chamatsenga chimene Mulungu adzachita tsiku lina ndikadzakula, ndi chinthu chomwe chinayenera kuchitika tsiku lililonse. Ngati ndine munthu yemweyo lero monga momwe ndinali dzulo, ndiye ndingayembekezere bwanji kukhala munthu wosinthika kwathunthu kumapeto kwa moyo wanga? Kusinthidwa kuchoka pa kukhala wodzikonda ndi wochimwa, kukhala munthu amene ali ndi phande m'chibadwa chaumulungu?
Mwina sindingaone lero kuti ndine munthu wosiyana kwambiri ndi zomwe ndinali dzulo. Kawirikawiri kusintha ndi kochepa. Ndipo pali njira yaitali yopita. Koma m'kupita kwa nthaŵi ndidzawona kuti ndakhala woleza mtima kwambiri, kuti ndakhala wachikondi kwambiri, kuti ndakhala waumulungu kwambiri kuposa mmene ndinali kale, ndipo zimenezo zidzandisangalatsa kwambiri! Ndikhoza kuyang'ana moyo wanga ndikuwona kuti nthawi zonse zomwe ndinanena kuti Ayi ku kusaleza mtima kwanga kwenikweni zachititsa kuti ndikhale wosavuta kwa ine kukhala woleza mtima tsopano. Ndikusintha! Ndikusintha kwambiri!
Cholinga chomaliza chaulemerero
Cholinga changa chomaliza ndi moyo wanga ndikuti ndimasinthidwa momwe ndingathere kuti ndizikhala ngati Khristu - kuti ndadzazidwa momwe ndingathere ndi chikhalidwe chaumulungu. Ndiyeno ndikakhala ndi anthu ena, amangokhala ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere ndi chikondi ndi kuleza mtima zochokera kwa ine.
Yesu anali munthu pamene Iye anali pano padziko lapansi, ndipo anayesedwa ngati munthu wina aliyense, koma Iye anamenyana ndi uchimo ndipo sanagonje. Ndipo iye akanatha kunena kuti, "Amene andiona ine aona Atate." (Luka 2:52; Yohane 14:7-10; 1 Petro 4:1.) Yesu sanagonje konse ku chirichonse chimene chinachokera ku chibadwa Chake chaumunthu ndipo, monga chotulukapo, m'moyo Wake wonse zochita Zake zonse zinali zaumulungu. Mkati Mwake nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchimo inali kuchitika, koma anthu omuzungulira anangoona Atate mwa Iye.
Ndicho cholinga changa komanso! Ndicho chimene ndikufuna! Chimenecho ndi chikhumbo changa chimodzi chokha pamene ndili pano! Ndikufunanso kunena kuti: "Amene wandiona ine waona Atate." Ndikufunanso kufika pa mkhalidwe waumulungu umenewo.
Ndipo mwa chisomo cha Mulungu zimenezi n'zothekadi.
