Nyumba yathu yatsopano
Ndi usiku wa Chaka Chatsopano, usiku wotsiriza wa chaka chakale. Zowombera moto zimayamba, timawotcha ndi kufunirana zabwino zonse chaka chatsopano. Tinakhazikitsa zolinga zatsopano kumayambiriro kwa chaka. Anthu ambiri amafuna kusintha china chake m'miyoyo yawo, kukhala ndi zakudya zatsopano, kusiya kusuta, kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi kapena kuchita nawo zinthu zabwino.
Ena ali ndi zolinga zazikulu: Amafuna kukayamba moyo watsopano kudziko lakutali. Zifukwa za izi ndi zosiyana. Anthu ena sakuonanso chiyembekezo chilichonse chogwira ntchito kuno, ena akufuna tsogolo labwino la ana awo kapena amangofuna kukhala ndi zofunikira zosiyana. Akuyang'ana nyumba yatsopano, kusiya zonse kuti apeze moyo wosasunthika kwina kulikonse, nthawi yambiri ya banja, malo ochulukirapo komanso chilengedwe chosakhudzidwa.
Lipoti la "Kukwera ndi Kutali" likuwonetsa momwe anthu osamukira kumayiko ena amakonzekerera nyumba yawo yatsopano. Limasonyeza mmene amachitira pakabuka mavuto, mmene mabanja ndi okwatirana amachirikizana kapena ayi. Ena amagonja mosavuta ndipo akufuna kubwerera kwawo, ena amanyalanyaza zopinga zonse, amalimbikira ndipo pamapeto pake amangotulutsa mawu akuti: “Kunyumba yathu yatsopano!”
Aliyense ali ndi cholinga chofanana. N’cifukwa ciani ena amacita zimenezi pamene ena sangakwanitse? Amene amasiya kaŵirikaŵiri amakhala osakonzekera. Mumadziwa pang'ono kapena simukudziwa za chilankhulo cha dziko lomwe mwasankha. Sangathe kuzolowera zizolowezi zina, amakhumudwitsidwa ndi mitengo ya zakudya, lendi, magetsi, ndi zina zotero. Ena amaphonya zakudya za m’deralo ndipo amakhala osasangalala makamaka m’mayiko a m’mphepete mwa nyanja, chifukwa chakudyacho nthawi zambiri chimakhala nsomba ndi nsomba. Nthawi zambiri ana amavutika kusukulu chifukwa sadziwa chinenero cha kwawo. Banja liribe ndalama zokwanira kuti zigwirizane ndi nthawi yoyamba. Mitsempha yanu imathamanga mwachangu, mumatsutsana, kupsinjika kumakwera ndipo pamapeto pake mumasiya.
Amene amapanga nyumbayo amakhala okonzekera bwino ndipo amauzidwa za nyumba yawo yatsopano. Amayembekezera zovuta zomwe zingachitike, ali okonzeka kutsitsa moyo wawo ngati kuli kofunikira ndikuvomera ntchito iliyonse. Mavuto akabuka amalimbikitsana ndipo saiwala cholinga chawo. Ngakhale kuti amakumana ndi zopinga zambiri, kugwira ntchito zolimba ndiponso nthawi zina kukhala ndi moyo wosauka, amayesetsa kukwaniritsa cholinga chawo ndipo pamapeto pake amakhala osangalala. Muli ndi malingaliro atsopano ndipo simukufunanso kubwerera kudziko lanu lakale.
Mwinamwake tsopano mukunena kuti: Ine sindine wongoyendayenda, osati wosamukira kudziko lina. Ndimakonda dziko langa ndipo sindikufuna kusamuka. Ndine wokonda dziko lathu ndipo ndimakhala mdziko muno. Ndipo komabe ife tonse ndife osamukira, nzika za ufumu wina - Ufumu wa Mulungu. Sitifunikira chilolezo chogwirira ntchito chifukwa taitanidwa ku nyumba yathu yatsopano, yoitanidwa ndi Mfumu ya mafumu, Yesu Kristu.
Kodi kukhala nzika ya ufumu wake kumatanthauza chiyani? Yesu anati: “Ufumu wakumwamba uli ngati chuma chobisika m’munda, chimene munthu anachipeza n’kuchibisa; ndipo m’kukondwera kwake adamuka, nagulitsa zonse adali nazo, nagula mundawo. “Komanso Ufumu wa Kumwamba uli wofanana ndi wamalonda amene anafunafuna ngale zabwino, ndipo atapeza ngale ya mtengo wapatali, anapita, nagulitsa zonse anali nazo, naigula” ( Mateyu 13,44-46 ndi).
Kodi n’ciyani cofunika kwa ife kukhala nzika za ufumu umenewu? Kodi ndi chinthu chofunika kwambiri pa moyo wathu? Kodi timakhala ngati wamalonda amene ankafunafuna ngale zamtengo wapatali? Yesu akutikumbutsa kuti tiganizire za mtengo wake tisanasankhe kuvomera chiitano chake ndi kukhala nzika za ufumu wake. Kodi ndife okonzeka kuvomereza boma lake, kugonjera miyoyo yathu kwa Iye, ndi kudziphatikiza tokha mu ufumu wake?
Mofanana ndi anthu othawa kwawo, tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti ndife okonzeka bwanji kuti tikhale nzika za ufumu wake. Kodi ziyembekezo zathu ndi zazikulu bwanji? Kodi ndife okonzeka kukumana ndi mavuto komanso kudzimana pakafunika kutero? Kodi tili ndi cholinga chathu m'maganizo? Kodi tidzasiya zinthu zikavuta kwambiri? Kodi tingamange mnzathu kapena mbale wathu akafuna kusiya? Kodi tili ndi wina wotithandiza?
Yesu akufotokoza zimene amayembekezera nzika zake: “Ngati munthu afuna kunditsata Ine, adzikane yekha, nanyamule mtanda wake tsiku ndi tsiku, nanditsate Ine. Pakuti iye amene afuna kusunga moyo wake adzautaya; Koma aliyense wotaya moyo wake chifukwa cha ine adzaupulumutsa.” (Luka 9,23-24 ndi).
Izi zimamveka zovuta pa umunthu wathu - kusiya chilichonse, kudziyika tokha pambali. Yesu akusonyeza kuti iye amatithandiza ndi kutichirikiza pamenepa: “Idzani kuno kwa Ine nonsenu akulema ndi akuthodwa; Ndikufuna kukutsitsimutsani. Senzani goli langa, ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine; pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa mtima; pamenepo mudzapeza mpumulo wa miyoyo yanu. Pakuti goli langa ndi lofewa, ndipo katundu wanga ali wopepuka.” (Mat 11,28-30 ndi).
Yesu anayankha Pilato kuti: “Ufumu wanga suli wa dziko lino lapansi. Ufumu wanga ukadakhala wa dziko lino lapansi, atumiki anga akadamenya nkhondo, kuti ndisaperekedwe kwa Ayuda; koma tsopano ufumu wanga suchokera kuno.” ( Yoh8,36).
Popempherera ophunzira ake, Yesu anasonyeza chifukwa chake tili padziko lapansi: “Sindipempha kuti muwachotse iwo m’dziko lapansi, koma kuti muwasunge iwo kuletsa woipayo. Iwo sali a dziko lapansi, monganso ine sindiri wa dziko lapansi. Atate, ndifuna kuti iwo amene mwandipatsa Ine akhale ndi Ine kulikonse kumene ndiri, kuti apenye ulemerero wanga, umene mwandipatsa Ine; pakuti munandikonda Ine lisanaikidwe maziko a dziko.” ( Yoh7,1516 ndi 24).
Kodi sikukanakhala kosavuta kudziyika tokha molunjika mu dziko lauzimu? N’chifukwa chiyani Yesu amafuna kuti tisachotsedwe m’dzikoli? Chifukwa amafuna kutiumba m’moyo wapadziko lapansi. Tili ndi ntchito yofalitsa uthenga wabwino wa Mulungu ndi kukhala kuwala m’dziko lamdimali.
Monga anthu akuthupi amene amangoona dziko looneka, tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti: Kodi kumatanthauzanji kwa ine kukhala nzika ya Ufumu wa Mulungu? Kodi ndingadziwe bwanji mfumu yanga ndi chifuniro chake? Amandifunsa chiyani? Amandichitira chiyani? Kodi nyumba yatsopanoyi ili pafupi bwanji ndi ine? Kodi ndimakhala momwemo kapena ndikusowa kwathu kwa nyumba yanga yakale? Kodi ndimadziwa kuti ndine mlendo chabe padziko lapansi, ndikungodutsa? Mulungu akudziwa kuti sikophweka kuti umunthu wathu ukhale m’maiko awiri nthawi imodzi. N’chifukwa chake amatipatsa zinthu zotithandiza pa ulendo wathu wapadziko lapansi. Timadziwa kuti sitingachite chilichonse popanda thandizo lake.
Kodi maganizo ake ndi otani pa moyo wathu? Cholinga cha Mulungu kwa ife ndi moyo wosatha osati moyo wathu wapadziko lapansi, wosakhalitsa. Kwa iye chinthu chofunika kwambiri sikuti timangokhala ndi moyo wabwino m'moyo uno, thanzi, kulemera, kupambana, mapeto osasamala a moyo, koma amayembekezera kusintha kwa malingaliro athu, kutembenuka kwathu ndi kuti Yesu Khristu amawalitsa kuwala kwake m'moyo uno. ife ndipo kupyolera mwa ife tikhoza kuwala mu dziko lino.
Kwa umunthu wathu, chikhalidwe chodzikonda, chofunika kwambiri ndi moyo wathu wapadziko lapansi. Tikufuna kukhala ndi moyo wabwino, wopambana, wosasamala. Tikukhumba kuti Mulungu atichotsere zovuta zonse. Zikukhudza ife, banja lathu, dziko lathu. Ndipo tikamavutika, tsogolo lathu mu ufumu wa Mulungu limaoneka ngati lili kutali kwambiri. Pakuti dzikoli ndi zonse zimene lingapereke posachedwapa zipita.”1. Akorinto 7,31 Chiyembekezo kwa nonse).
Mulungu amatisonyeza momveka bwino zimene tiyenera kuziika patsogolo: “Muthange mwafuna Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi chilungamo chake, ndipo zonse zimenezo zidzakhala zanu.” ( Mateyu 6,33).
Iye amafuna kuti tizikhulupirira kuti ngakhale pa nthawi zovuta adzatisamalira pa nthawi yoyenera komanso mmene angafunire. Nthawi zovuta zingakhale dalitso kwa Mulungu. Tikamaona moyo wathu m’maso mwa Mulungu, nthawi zambiri timatha kuona madalitso amene tili nawo. Iye amafuna kuti tizichita zinthu ngati wamalonda uja amene amagulitsa zinthu zonse kuti apeze chuma chimenechi.
Potsirizira pake, Paulo akutikhazikitsa kaamba ka lingaliro lotsimikizirika: “Pakuti masautso athu, ali akanthaŵi, ndi opepuka, akutilengera ife ulemerero wosatha ndi wakutali, amene sitipenyerera zooneka, koma zosaoneka. Pakuti chowoneka ndi chaka; Koma chosaonekacho n’chosatha” (2. Akorinto 4,17-18 ndi).
Kuitana kumeneku kukukumbutsani kuti zinthu zosaoneka, monga ciyembekezo, cikhulupililo, cikondi, ndi malonjezo a Mulungu, n’zofunika kwamuyaya m’moyo wanu.
