Kuyenda kolimba kwa Mkhristu
Panali nkhani ya pa wailesi yakanema yonena za mwamuna wina ku Siberia amene anasiya “moyo wapadziko lapansi” napita ku nyumba ya amonke. Anasiya mkazi wake ndi mwana wake wamkazi, anasiya bizinesi yake yaing’ono ndi kudzipereka kotheratu ku tchalitchi. Mtolankhaniyo adamufunsa ngati mkazi wake amapita kukacheza naye nthawi zina. Iye adati ayi, kuyendera amayi sikuloledwa chifukwa akhoza kuyesedwa. Eya, tingaganize kuti chinthu choterocho sichingachitike kwa ife. Mwina sitikanathawira ku nyumba ya amonke nthawi yomweyo. Nkhaniyi ikufanana ndi moyo wathu. Monga akhristu timayenda m'maiko awiri, pakati pa kukhala padziko lapansi ndi uzimu. Ulendo wathu wa cikhulupililo uli ngati kuyenda pa cingwe colimba.
Kuopsa kwa kugwa kwambiri mbali imodzi kapena ina kumatiperekeza paulendo wathu wamoyo. Ngati titerereka mbali imodzi, ndife amalingaliro a dziko lapansi; Ngati titsetsereka kutsidya lina, timakhala mwachipembedzo kwambiri. Mwina timakonda kukhala achipembedzo kapena timakhala ndi moyo wodzikonda. Munthu amene amayang’ana kwambiri zakumwamba ndipo amangoyembekezera kuti zonse zithe kaŵirikaŵiri amataya mphamvu yosangalala ndi mphatso zabwino zimene Mulungu wasungira. Angaganize kuti: Kodi Mulungu sanatiphunzitse kudzipatula ku dziko chifukwa ufumu wake suli wa dziko lino lapansi ndiponso chifukwa chagwa? Koma kodi chiyambi cha dziko lino n’chiyani? Ndi zilakolako za anthu, kufunafuna chuma ndi mphamvu, moyo wodzikhutiritsa ndi wonyada. Zonsezi sizichokera kwa Mulungu, koma ndi za dziko lapansi.
Munthu amene amayang’ana kwambiri zakumwamba nthawi zambiri amachoka m’dzikoli mosazindikira, n’kumanyalanyaza achibale ake ndi mabwenzi ake ndipo amadzipereka yekha pa kuphunzira Baibulo ndi kusinkhasinkha. Makamaka pamene sitikumva bwino ndipo tikukumana ndi mavuto, timakonda kuthawa dzikoli. Ikhoza kukhala njira yopulumukira popeza sitingathenso kupirira mazunzo ndi kupanda chilungamo kozungulira ife. Yesu Kristu anadza m’dziko lauchimoli, anadzichepetsa mwa kukhala munthu, nafa imfa yankhanza kuti anthu onse apulumutsidwe. Iye anabwera ngati kuwala mumdima kuti apereke chiyembekezo ndi kuthetsa mavuto.
Ngakhale kuti Mulungu ankadziwa mmene zinthu zilili m’dzikoli, analenga zinthu zambiri zoti anthu azisangalala nazo, monga nyimbo, zonunkhira, zakudya, anthu amene timawakonda, nyama komanso zomera. Davide anatamanda chilengedwe cha Mulungu kuti: “Pakuona ine thambo la kumwamba, ntchito ya zala zanu, mwezi ndi nyenyezi, zimene munazikhazika: munthu ndani kuti mumkumbukira, ndi mwana wa munthu ndani kuti mumsamalira? (Sal 8,4-5. ).
Thupi lathu lokhoza kufa nalonso linalengedwa modabwitsa, monga momwe Davide ananenera ndi kuyamika Mulungu chifukwa cha ilo: “Pakuti mudapanga impso zanga, ndipo munandiumba m’mimba; Ndiyamika inu kuti ndinapangidwa modabwitsa; zodabwitsa ntchito zanu; Moyo wanga udziwa izi” ( Salmo 139,13-14. ).
Mphatso yaikulu kwambiri imene Mulungu watipatsa ndiyo kukhala osangalala. Anatipatsa mphamvu zisanu kuti tizisangalala ndi moyo. Kodi anthu okonda “zadziko” amakumana ndi zoopsa zotani? Ndife amodzi mwa omwe alibe vuto lofikira anthu pamlingo wofanana; ndife anthu apaubwenzi. Koma mwina timakonda kulolera zinthu kuti tisangalatse ena kapena kuti tisataye munthu amene timam’konda. Mwina timapatula nthawi yochuluka yocheza ndi achibale ndi anzathu n’kumanyalanyaza nthawi yathu yabata ndi Mulungu. N’zoona kuti tiyenera kuthandiza ena ndi kuwathandiza, koma sitiyenera kuwathandiza kapena kulola kuti atidyera masuku pamutu. Monga Akristu, tiyeneranso kuphunzira kunena kuti “ayi” ndi kuika zinthu zofunika patsogolo moyenera. Chofunikira kwambiri ndi ubale wathu ndi Mulungu, china chilichonse chikhale chachiwiri. Yesu anafotokoza momveka bwino zimene iye amafuna kwa ife: “Ngati wina wadza kwa ine osadana ndi atate wake, amake, mkazi wake, ana ake, abale ake, alongo ake, ndi moyo wake wa iye yekha, sakhoza kukhala wophunzira wanga.” ( Luka 14,26).
Kukonda Mulungu
Chikondi chathu pa Mulungu ndicho chinthu chofunika kwambiri, koma tiyeneranso kukonda anthu anzathu. Tsopano, tingayende bwanji chingwe cholimbachi popanda kugwera mbali imodzi kapena imzake? Mfungulo ndiyo kulinganiza - ndipo munthu wolinganizika kwambiri amene anakhalako anali Yesu Kristu, Mwana wa Munthu. Pokhapokha kupyolera mu ntchito yake mkati mwathu tikhoza kukwaniritsa izi. Yesu anauza ophunzira ake atatsala pang’ono kuphedwa kuti: “Ine ndine mpesa, inu ndinu nthambi zake. Iye amene akhala mwa Ine, ndi Ine mwa iye, abala chipatso chambiri; pakuti kopanda Ine simungathe kuchita kanthu.” ( Yoh5,5). Nthawi zambiri ankachoka ndipo ankakhala nthawi yambiri akupemphera ndi Atate. Iye analemekeza Mulungu kudzera mu ntchito zake ndi machiritso ake. Iye anavutika ndi iwo amene anavutika ndi kusangalala ndi iwo amene anakondwera. Ankatha kuchita zinthu ndi anthu olemera ndi osauka.
Kulakalaka moyo watsopano
Paulo akuulula chikhumbo chake: “Chifukwa cha ichi ifenso tibuula, ndi kulakalaka kuvala mokhalamo wathu wochokera kumwamba.”2. Akorinto 5,2). Inde, timalakalaka kukumana ndi Mlengi wathu, kuti tikhale naye kosatha. Tikuyembekezera nthawi imene mavuto onse padzikoli adzatha ndipo chilungamo cha Mulungu chidzakhalapo. Timalakalaka kumasulidwa ku uchimo ndi kuwonjezereka kukhala Munthu Watsopano.
Kodi Yesu Kristu akanauona motani moyo wa mwamuna amene wasiya banja lake, kuthawa mathayo ake a padziko lapansi, ndi kufunafuna chipulumutso chake? Kodi izi zikugwirizana bwanji ndi ntchito imene Mulungu watipatsa kuti tipindule anthu kwa Iye? Zingachitike kwa aliyense wa ife kunyalanyaza mabanja athu kapena anthu ena ndi kudzipereka tokha kuphunzira Baibulo. Timakhala otalikirana ndi dziko ndipo sitingamvetsetse nkhawa ndi zosowa za anthu. Koma tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti, kodi Yesu Khristu akufuna kuona bwanji moyo wathu m’dzikoli? Kodi cholinga chake ndi chiyani? Tilipo kuti tikwaniritse ntchito - kupindulira anthu kwa Mulungu.

Yesu anauza abale ake a Simoni ndi Andireya kuti: “Bwerani munditsate! Ndidzakusandutsani asodzi a anthu.” (Mat 4,19). Yesu ankatha kufikira anthu mwa kulankhula m’mafanizo. Anaika pansi zonse zimene anachita ku chifuniro cha atate wake. Ndi thandizo la Yesu tikhoza kuyenda pa chingwe chotchinga ichi. M’zonse zimene timachita ndi m’chosankha chilichonse chimene timapanga, tiyenera kunena monga Yesu Kristu kuti: “Atate, ngati mufuna, chotsani chikho ichi pa Ine; Koma osati kufuna kwanga, koma kufuna kwanu kuchitidwe. (Luka 22,42). Tinenenso kuti: Kufuna kwanu kuchitidwe!
