Nthawi zambiri timawona malonda: Tsatirani maloto anu! Pangani maloto anu kukhala enieni! Limbani mtima kutsatira maloto anu! Nthawi zambiri anthu amakhulupirira kuti ngati mutakwaniritsa maloto anu, mumakhala osangalala m'moyo. Tidzaona kuti pali chifukwa chabwino chokayikira chikhulupiriro chimenechi.
Tili ndi maloto ambiri, makamaka pamene tili achinyamata. Maloto awa nthawi zambiri amakhala okhudza maphunziro kapena kupambana mu masewera, ntchito yabwino, kapena kukhala wojambula. Komabe, n'zokayikitsa kwambiri ngati tingazindikire maloto athu, chifukwa zimenezo zimadalira zinthu zambiri ndi mikhalidwe yomwe nthawi zambiri imakhala kunja kwa ulamuliro wathu. Mwachitsanzo, ndalama, maluso, kumene timakhala, 'mwayi wabwino,' ndi zinthu zina zingathe kudziwa ngati tidzakwaniritsa maloto athu kapena ayi. Kwenikweni ndi otetezeka kunena kuti n'zokayikitsa kwambiri kuti tidzakwaniritsa maloto athu. Izi zili choncho chifukwa nthawi zambiri anthu ena kapena mikhalidwe ndi imene imasankha zimene zidzachitike.
Zimenezi sizili choncho ndi chiitano chathu chakumwamba. Kuitana kumeneku kukufunsa ngati tikufuna kutsatira Yesu, kukhala wophunzira Wake, kutsatira mapazi Ake, ndi kukhala ngati Iye (1 Petro 2:21, CEV). Zalembedwa pa Ahebri 3:1 (NIV), "Choncho, abale ndi alongo oyera, amene ali ndi phande m'chiitano chakumwamba ..." Ichi ndi chiitano chachikulu koposa chimene munthu angakhale nacho pano padziko lapansi. Koma monga momwe pali zofunikira za kupeza digiri kapena kukwaniritsa chonulirapo, palinso zofunika za kukwaniritsa chiitano chathu chakumwamba.
Yesu akuti pa Luka 14:33 (NIV), "Momwemonso, inu amene simusiya zonse muli nazo simungathe kukhala ophunzira anga." M'mawu ena, ngati sitisiya zonse m'dzikoli sitingakhale wophunzira Wake, koma ngati titero—tingakhale wophunzira Wake. Ndife amene timasankha, chifukwa ife eni tingasankhe kulipira mtengo, ndi kukwaniritsa mikhalidwe. Mphamvu zonse ndi chisomo chochita izo zilipo kuchokera kwa Iye amene amatiitana.
"Pakuti ndife ntchito ya manja ya Mulungu, yolengedwa mwa Khristu Yesu kuti tichite ntchito zabwino, zimene Mulungu anakonzeratu kuti tichite." Aefeso 2:10 (NIV). M'mawu ena, tinalengedwa ndi cholinga chofunika. Ngati tipeza ntchito zimene Mulungu watikonzera ndi kuzichita, tidzakwaniritsa chiitano chathu chakumwamba; mwanjira imeneyi, miyoyo yathu ikhoza kukhala dalitso lalikulu ndi phindu kwa anthu otizungulira ndipo idzatibweretsera chimwemwe.
Ndi kupyolera m'malingaliro athu ndi malingaliro athu, kuti mdani wathu akhoza kulowa. Anthu amanyengedwa kapena kunyengedwa ndi zilakolako zawo zauchimo, monga momwe Hava analili. Nthawi zambiri kudzera mu "maloto a moyo wabwino" ndi pamene timanyengedwa. (Lerwa 2 Atesalonika 2:10.) Ngati titsatira zilakolako zathu zauchimo, moyo wathu umaipitsidwa. Chifukwa chake, anthu ambiri amayang'ana kumbuyo pa moyo wodzaza ndi mantha, kukhumudwa ndi chisoni. Maloto awo anali mphukira yomwe yaphulika. Mphamvu zawo, nthaŵi ndi ndalama zinaperekedwa nsembe pa guwa la nsembe la kupanda pake.
Paulo anagwidwa ndi chiitano chake chakumwamba. Sizinali maloto opanda pake oyendetsa moyo wake, koma kulakalaka moona mtima kukhala wophunzira ndi kutumikira Mulungu ndi zonse zimene anali nazo. "Ndi chiyembekezo changa chofunitsitsa ndi chiyembekezo kuti sindidzachita manyazi konse, koma kuti molimba mtima kwathunthu tsopano monga nthawi zonse Khristu adzalemekezedwa m'thupi langa, kaya ndi moyo kapena imfa." Afilipi 1:20 (RSV). Kulakalaka kwake ndi chiyembekezo chake zinazikidwa pa chinachake chimene chinali chofikirika mokwanira, ndipo anali wofunitsitsa kulipira mtengo wake.
N'zokayikitsa kwambiri ngati tidzakwaniritsa maloto athu, ndipo n'zotheka kwambiri kuti tidzakhumudwa ngati tilola zonse kudalira kukwaniritsa maloto amenewa. Koma, ndi 100 peresenti otsimikiza kuti tikhoza kukwaniritsa kuitana kwathu kumwamba, pamene tili ofunitsitsa kulipira mtengo. Palibe amene anakhumudwapo posankha njira imeneyo. Chosankha ndi chanu!
