Phatikizani chikondi cha Mulungu
M'dziko lamakono la digito, malo ochezera a pa Intaneti ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri pa moyo wathu watsiku ndi tsiku. Anthu ambiri amazidziwa bwino izi: nkhani yotsutsana kapena kanema wokopa amagawidwa pagulu la WhatsApp. Nthawi yomweyo, mamembala amayamba kufotokoza malingaliro awo, nthawi zambiri mwankhanza komanso zopweteka. Kukambitsirana kumakula msanga ndipo ziwopsezo zaumwini zimatayidwa. M’malo mokhala ndi zokambirana zolimbikitsa, magawano amangokulirakulira. Palibe chifukwa chokhumudwitsa munthu.
Munthawi ngati izi, ndimadabwa momwe khalidweli lingathandizire aliyense. Ndikuzindikira kuti anthuwa alinso olemedwa ndi zovulala zosiyanasiyana. Monga Akristu tiyenera kudzazidwa ndi mzimu wa chikondi cha Mulungu. Tonsefe timafunikira chisomo chopulumutsa cha Mulungu: “Chotero chotsani kuipa konse, ndi chinyengo chonse, ndi chinyengo chonse, ndi kaduka, ndi zonena zoipa zonse; Mwalawa kale kuti Yehova ndi wokoma mtima” (1. Peter 2,1-3 ndi).
Petro akukumbutsa otsatira a Kristu kuti anapulumutsidwa ndi chisomo cha Mulungu ndipo ayenera kukhala oyera monga momwe Mulungu alili woyera: “Monga ana omvera, musagonjere zilakolako zimene munali nazo kale m’kusazindikira kwanu; Koma monga iye amene anakuitanani ali woyera, inunso khalani oyera m’makhalidwe anu onse.”1. Peter 1,14-15 ndi).
Anapulumutsidwa ndi mwazi wamtengo wapatali wa Kristu, osati ndi zoyesayesa zawo. Kudzera mu chisomo cha Mulungu ndi kotheka kwa ife kuika chikhulupiriro ndi chiyembekezo mwa Yesu. Kudzera mu chikondi chopulumutsa cha Khristu, tiyenera kukondana wina ndi mnzake ndi mtima wonse, monga mmene Mulungu amatikondera. Chifukwa chakuti anatikonda kwambiri, tiyenera kusiya chilichonse chimene chimatilepheretsa kuchita zimenezi.
Ngakhale kuti anthu a ku Yerusalemu anali atatsala pang’ono kupha Mwana wa Mulungu, Yesu analira ndi kulira chifukwa cha njira zawo, ndipo anati: “Mukadadziwanso tsiku lino chimene chimabweretsa mtendere! Koma tsopano zabisika pamaso panu.” ( Luka 19,41-42 ndi).
Yesu analira chifukwa sanazindikire Mwana wa Mulungu pakati pawo. Chifukwa cha umbuli anakana chipulumutso chawo. M’malo molankhula mawu odzudzula anthu, tiyenera kulira chifukwa cha kusamvetsetsa kwawo ndi kupemphera kuti mitima yawo ndi maganizo awo atsegulidwe ku choonadi ndi mzimu wa Mulungu. Sitiyenera kukhala magwero a magawano, koma mafuta ochiritsa omwe amabweretsa kubwezeretsa.
Pali ngozi yodzitaya mwa kusankhidwa ndi Mulungu, koma tisaiwale kuti izi zinachitika pa chifukwa: “Koma inu ndinu mbadwa yosankhika, ansembe achifumu, mtundu woyera mtima, anthu a . . . lalikirani madalitso a Iye amene anakuitanani kuti mutuluke mumdima, kulowa mu kuunika kwake kodabwitsa.”1. Peter 2,9).
Popeza talandira chifundo, tiyeneranso kukhala onyamula chifundo chimenecho. Tili ndi udindo waukulu woimira Mulungu kaamba ka ulemu ndi ulemerero wake, kulengeza choonadi, kukonda Mulungu ndi anthu anzathu. Ndilibe izi mwachibadwa ndipo ndikusowa ntchito ya Mzimu Woyera ndi chitsogozo cha Mulungu. Atamandike Ambuye ndi Mfumu yathu kuti watipatsa chikhululukiro chake, kuti tipulumutsidwe ndi nsembe yake ndipo sitivutika ndi chilango chake.
Mtima wanga umawawa chifukwa cha zoipa zimene anthu ena amachitira m’dzina la chilungamo. Pali Mmodzi yekha amene ali wolungama ndi wabwino – Mulungu wathu wachikondi ndi wachifundo.
