"Anthu osakhulupirika! Kodi simukudziwa kuti kukhala bwenzi la dziko kumatanthauza kukhala mdani wa Mulungu? Anthu amene akufuna kukhala mabwenzi a dziko amadzipangitsa kukhala adani a Mulungu." Yakobo 4:4.
Kodi chimenecho chitanthauza chiyani? Kodi zikutanthauza kuti ngati ndili pa ubwenzi ndi anthu amene si Akristu, ndiye kuti ndine mdani wa Mulungu? Kodi zikutanthauza kuti ndiyenera kudzipatula kwa awo amene sali Akristu ndi kukhala wopanda ubwenzi ndi wozizira kwa iwo? Kapena kukhala ndi maganizo akuti "Ndine woyera kuposa inu" kuti mukhale bwenzi la Mulungu?
Sindikuganiza kuti Yakobo ankatanthauza zimenezi m'njira imeneyo, koma pangakhale anthu ambiri amene amamvetsetsa choncho, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti sadzagwirana manja ndi anthu amene si Akhristu, kapena ngakhale kudya limodzi nawo, chifukwa amaopa kuti adzakhala "odetsedwa" ndipo ndi osakhulupirika kwa Mulungu. Anthu ena safuna kuvomereza kapena kugwiritsa ntchito zipangizo zamakono, magalimoto ndi makompyuta etc. chifukwa amaopa kukhala "abwenzi ndi dziko". Chotulukapo chake nchakuti amadzisunga okha kutali ndi kukhala osiyana ndi anthu ena ambiri!
Popeza Mulungu amakonda anthu ndipo akufuna kuwakokera kumbuyo kwa Iyemwini ndi kuwapulumutsa ndi kuwathandiza, kumvetsetsa koteroko kungakhale ndi zotsatira zosiyana, zomwe ndi kukankhira anthu kutali. Limanena pa Yohane 3:16, "Pakuti Mulungu anakonda kwambiri dziko lapansi moti anapereka Mwana wake yekhayo, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira mwa iye asafe koma akhale ndi moyo wosatha."
Baibulo silitiuza zambiri zokhudza moyo wa Yesu mpaka pamene Iye anali ndi zaka 30, koma tingaganize kuti Iye ankakhala pakati pa anthu m'njira yachibadwa. Anthu ankaganiza kuti Iye ndi "mwana wa kalipentala"! Sanali kukhala mosiyana ndi anthu. Ndipotu, mkati mwa zaka zitatu za utumiki Wake wapoyera, Iye anayamba kudziwika monga bwenzi la okhometsa msonkho ndi ochimwa. (Mateyu 11:19.) Koma Iye ndithudi sanali bwenzi la dziko!
Kodi "dziko" n'chiyani?
Choncho, poganizira zimenezi, kodi mawu akuti "kukhala bwenzi la dziko amatanthauza chiyani kuti akhale mdani wa Mulungu" kwenikweni amatanthauza chiyani? Chabwino, kuti timvetse bwino zimenezi, tiyeni tibwerere ku chiyambi cha dziko. Mu Genesis 1:31 limati, "Pamenepo Mulungu anaona zonse zimene Iye anapanga, ndipo ndithudi zinali zabwino kwambiri ..." Chinachake chiyenera kuti chinasintha pamenepo, kuti Yakobo alembe chenjezo ili!
Kuti "chinachake" chikufotokozedwa mu Genesis 3 za kusamvera kwa anthu oyamba ndi kugwa mu uchimo, ndi kusintha koopsa kumene izi zinachititsa. Machaputala atatu okha pambuyo pake pa Genesis 6:5 limati, "Yehova anaona kuti anthu padziko lapansi anali oipa kwambiri ndiponso kuti zonse zimene ankaganiza zinali zoipa." Ndi chochitika choopsa chotani nanga!
Poyamba, Adamu ndi Hava anangofunika kuchita ndi Mulungu ndipo ankalamuliridwa ndi Mzimu Wake ndi zonse zabwino. Koma mwa kumvetsera njoka (Satana), iwo anasonkhezeredwa ndi mzimu wonyada, woipa. Iwo anasankha kusamvera Mulungu ndipo anachimwa ndipo analekanitsidwa ndi Mulungu. Chotero, chikondi cha Mulungu, malamulo Ake, ndi zonse zabwino, chinaloŵedwa m'malo ndi chikondi cha munthu.
Kudzikonda kumeneku - chikhumbo ichi chofuna kupeza chilichonse chomwe 'ndikufuna', kuganiza, kapena kuwona mosasamala kanthu za chabwino kapena cholakwika, ndikukhala ndi moyo ndi kunyada kwanga - kunabwera mwa anthu onse. Izi ndi zomwe zimatanthauzidwa ndi "dziko," ndipo si chinthu chomwe chili kunja uko kwinakwake! Ndi mkati mwa munthu aliyense. Baibulo limati chikhalidwe cha munthu chimenechi pambuyo pa kugwa ndi "chibadwa cha munthu wochimwa", "uchimo" kapena "thupi," ndipo zimenezi zakhudza munthu aliyense m'dzikoli.
Mzimu wa Satana tsopano ndiwo wolamulira wamkulu m'dziko, iye amene ali mdani wa Mulungu ndi anthu, monga momwe walembedwera pa Aefeso 2:2-3, "... potsatira wolamulira wa maulamuliro oipa amene ali pamwamba pa dziko lapansi. Mzimu umodzimodziwo tsopano ukugwira ntchito mwa awo amene amakana kumvera Mulungu. M'mbuyomu tonsefe tinkakhala ngati iwo, kuyesa kusangalatsa ochimwa athu ndi kuchita zinthu zonse zimene matupi athu ndi maganizo athu ankafuna. Tinayenera kuvutika ndi mkwiyo wa Mulungu chifukwa chakuti tinali ochimwa mwachibadwa. Tinali ofanana ndi anthu ena onse."
Kunena mwachidule, anthu onse anasochera mopanda chiyembekezo m'uchimo popanda njira yotulukira, ndipo ichi ndi chifukwa chake Mulungu m'chikondi Chake chachikulu pa ife anatumiza Yesu kuti atipulumutse. (Yohane 3:16; Aroma 5:8.) Yesu anakhala munthu ndipo monga munthu anali wotseguka ku zofooka zonse zimene tili nazo. Iye akhoza kuyesedwa ndipo anayesedwa monga ife (Ahebri 4:15), koma m'mayesero awa, Iye analimbana ndi kugonjetsa zilakolako zauchimo za kudzikonda mu chikhalidwe Chake chaumunthu. Iye ankachita zimenezi tsiku lililonse ndipo Iye analira atangotsala pang'ono kufa, "Zatha!" Njira yobwerera kwa Mulungu tsopano inapangidwa, koma munthu aliyense ayenera kudzisankhira yekha zimene adzachita.
Kodi mudzakhala woona mtima ponena za inu nokha ndi kuvomereza kufunika kwanu kwa Mpulumutsi kukuthandizani kugonjetsa dziko la uchimo mkati mwanu? Kapena kodi mudzadzinamiza nokha ndi kunamizira kuti zonse zili bwino?
Kodi kukhala "mabwenzi ndi dziko" n'chiyani?"
kotero, kukhala mabwenzi ndi dziko zikutanthauza kupita limodzi ndi, kukhala mu, kugwirizana ndi kukonda zilakolako ndi zokhumba mu chikhalidwe chanu uchimo waumunthu ndi mzimu woyendetsa kumbuyo kwawo - kudzikonda, kudzikonda, kudzikonda! Simungathe kuchita zimenezo ndi kukhala bwenzi la Mulungu! Njira yokhayo kukhala bwenzi la Mulungu ndi kusiya uchimo, kutembenukira kwa Yesu ndi kumupatsa Iye mtima wanu wonse ndi kumutsatira Iye. Ndi kudana ndi zokhumba mu chikhalidwe chanu chaumunthu chochimwa - kudzikonda konse, kunyada ndi zoipa - ndi kukonda zomwe Mulungu amakonda - zonse zomwe zili zabwino, zoyera, zopanda dyera komanso zokongola.

Chilichonse chomwe chili cha dziko lapansi - zomwe ochimwa amakhumba, zomwe anthu amawona ndi kufuna, ndi zonse m'dzikoli zomwe anthu amanyadira kwambiri - palibe chirichonse cha izi chimachokera kwa Atate; zonse zimachokera ku dziko. Dziko ndi zonse zomwe zili mmenemo zomwe anthu akufuna zikuchoka; koma amene amachita chifuniro cha Mulungu amakhala ndi moyo mpaka kalekale."
Pamene tipereka mitima yathu ndi miyoyo yathu kwa Mulungu kupyolera mwa mwana Wake Yesu Kristu ndi kuyamba kumutsatira Iye m'kumvera, Mzimu Woyera wa Mulungu amatidzaza ndi kutitsogolera.
