Ndikulimba mtima pamaso pa mpando wachifumu
Lemba la Ahebri 4:16 limati, “Chifukwa chake tiyeni tiyandikire mpando wachifumu wa chisomo cha Mulungu molimbika mtima, kuti tilandire chifundo ndi kupeza chisomo chotithandiza nthawi yakusowa kwathu.” Zaka zambiri zapitazo, ndinamva ulaliki wokhudza vesili. Mlalikiyo sanali wolimbikitsa uthenga wabwino wa chuma, koma anagogomezera kuti tiyenera kupempha Mulungu zinthu zomwe timafuna molimba mtima komanso mokweza mitu yathu. Ngati zili zabwino kwa ife ndi anthu otizungulira, ndiye kuti Mulungu adzazipangitsa kuchitika.
Chabwino, ndizomwe ndidachita ndipo mukudziwa chiyani? Mulungu sanandipatse zinthu zimene ndinamupempha kuti azichita. Tangolingalirani kukhumudwa kwanga! Zinandikwiyitsa pang’ono chikhulupiriro changa chifukwa ndinkaona ngati ndikupereka chikhulupiriro kwa Mulungu pomupempha chinachake nditakweza mutu. Panthaŵi imodzimodziyo, ndinaona kuti kusakhulupirira kwanga zonse kunali kundilepheretsa kupeza zimene ndinapempha kwa Mulungu. Kodi chikhulupiriro chathu chimayamba kugwa ngati Mulungu satipatsa zomwe tikufuna, ngakhale tikudziwa motsimikiza kuti zingakhale zabwino kwa ife ndi ena onse? Kodi timadziwadi zomwe zili zabwino kwa ife komanso kwa wina aliyense? Tingaganize choncho, koma zoona zake n’zakuti sitikudziwa. Mulungu amaona chilichonse ndipo amadziwa chilichonse. Iye yekha ndi amene amadziwa zimene zili zabwino kwa aliyense wa ife! Kodi ndi kusakhulupirira kwathu kumene kumalepheretsa zochita za Mulungu? Kodi kuima pamaso pa mpando wachifundo wa Mulungu kumatanthauza chiyani?
Ndime iyi siikunena za kuyima pamaso pa Mulungu ndi mtundu wa ulamuliro womwe timaudziwa—ulamuliro wolimba mtima, wolimba mtima, komanso wolimba mtima. M'malo mwake, vesili likuwonetsa momwe ubale wathu wapamtima ndi Mkulu wa Ansembe, Yesu Khristu, uyenera kuonekera. Tikhoza kulankhula ndi Khristu mwachindunji ndipo sitikusowa munthu wina aliyense ngati mkhalapakati—palibe wansembe, mtumiki, mphunzitsi, wamatsenga, kapena mngelo. Kulumikizana mwachindunji kumeneku ndi kwapadera kwambiri. Sizinali zotheka kwa anthu Khristu asanamwalire. Mu nthawi ya Pangano Lakale, mkulu wa ansembe anali mkhalapakati pakati pa Mulungu ndi anthu. Iye yekha ndiye anali ndi mwayi wopita ku malo opatulika kwambiri. (Hebr 9,7)Malo apadera awa m'chihema anali apadera. Anthu ankakhulupirira kuti kukhalapo kwa Mulungu padziko lapansi kunali pamalo awa. Nsalu kapena nsalu inali kuilekanitsa ndi kachisi wonse, komwe anthu ankaloledwa kukhala.
Pamene Khristu anafa chifukwa cha machimo athu, nsalu yotchinga inang'ambika pakati. (Mt 27,50)Mulungu sakukhalanso m'kachisi amene anamangidwa ndi anthu. (Apg 17,24)Kachisi si njira yopita kwa Mulungu Atate, koma kulimba mtima kuti tikhalepo chifukwa cha iye. Tikhoza kuuza Yesu momwe tikumvera. Sikuti ndi nkhani yopempha molimba mtima zomwe tikufuna kuti zikwaniritsidwe. Ndi nkhani yokhala oona mtima komanso opanda mantha. Ndi nkhani yokhudza kutsanulira mitima yathu pamaso pa amene amatimvetsa ndi kukhala ndi chikhulupiriro kuti adzachita zomwe zili zabwino kwa ife. Timabwera pamaso pake ndi chidaliro ndi mitu yokwezedwa, kuti tipeze chisomo ndi chifundo chomwe chidzatithandiza nthawi zovuta. (Hebr 4,16)Tangoganizani: Sitiyeneranso kuda nkhawa ndi kupemphera ndi mawu olakwika, panthawi yolakwika, kapena ndi maganizo olakwika. Tili ndi Mkulu wa Ansembe amene amangoona mitima yathu yokha. Mulungu satilanga. Akufuna kuti timvetse momwe amatikondera! Si chikhulupiriro chathu kapena kusowa kwake, koma kukhulupirika kwa Mulungu komwe kumapereka tanthauzo ku mapemphero athu.
Malingaliro oti akwaniritsidwe
Lankhulani ndi Mulungu tsiku lonse. Muuzeni moona mtima momwe mukumvera. Ngati muli okondwa, nenani kuti, “Mulungu, ndikusangalala kwambiri. Zikomo chifukwa cha zinthu zabwino zomwe ndakumana nazo pamoyo wanga.” Ngati muli okhumudwa, nenani kuti, “Mulungu, ndikuvutika kwambiri. Chonde nditonthozeni.” Ngati simukudziwa bwino ndipo simukudziwa choti muchite, nenani kuti, “Mulungu, sindikudziwa choti ndichite. Chonde ndithandizeni kuona chifuniro Chanu pa chilichonse chomwe chili patsogolo panga.” Ngati mwakwiya, nenani kuti, “Ambuye, ndakwiya kwambiri. Chonde ndithandizeni kuti ndisanene zomwe ndidzanong'oneza nazo bondo pambuyo pake.” Pemphani Mulungu kuti akuthandizeni ndikumukhulupirira Iye. Pempherani kuti chifuniro cha Mulungu chichitike, osati chanu. Jakobus 4,3 Ilo limati: “Mumapempha ndipo simulandira kanthu, chifukwa mupempha ndi zolinga zoipa, kuti muchitayitse pa zilakolako zanu.” Ngati mukufuna kulandira zabwino, muyenera kupempha zabwino. Bwerezaninso mavesi kapena nyimbo za m’Baibulo tsiku lonse.
