Mulungu watidalitsa!

Kalata iyi ndi kalata yanga yomaliza pamwezi ngati wogwira ntchito ku GCI pamene ndikupuma mwezi uno. Ndikaganizira za udindo wanga monga Purezidenti wa gulu lathu lachipembedzo, madalitso ambiri amene Mulungu watipatsa amakumbukira. Limodzi mwa madalitso amenewa likukhudza dzina lathu - Grace Communion International. Ndikuganiza kuti ikufotokoza bwino za kusintha kwathu monga gulu. Mwa chisomo cha Mulungu, takhala mgonero wozikidwa pa chisomo chapadziko lonse, kuchita nawo chiyanjano cha Atate, Mwana, ndi Mzimu Woyera. Sindinakayikirepo kuti Mulungu wathu wa Utatu watitsogolera ku madalitso aakulu ndi kusintha kodabwitsa kumeneku. Mamembala anga okondedwa, abwenzi ndi ogwira nawo ntchito a GCI/WKG, zikomo chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu paulendowu. Miyoyo yanu ndi umboni weniweni wa kusintha kwathu.

Dalitso lina lomwe limabwera m'maganizo ndi lomwe ambiri mwa omwe akhala akutenga nawo gawo kwanthawi yayitali angathe kugawana nawo. Kwa zaka zambiri takhala tikupemphera nthawi zambiri mmatchalitchi mwathu kuti Mulungu ativumbulutsire zowonadi zake. Mulungu anayankha pempheroli - ndipo modabwitsa! Adatsegula mitima yathu ndi malingaliro athu kuti timvetsetse kuzama kwachikondi chake kwa anthu onse. Anationetsa kuti amakhala nafe nthawi zonse ndikuti mwa chisomo chake tsogolo lathu losatha ndi lotetezeka.

Ambiri anandiuza kuti kwa zaka zambiri sanamvepo maulaliki okhudza chisomo m’mipingo yathu. Ndikuthokoza Mulungu kuti kuyambira 1995 tinayamba kuthana ndi vutoli. Tsoka ilo, mamembala ena sanagwirizane ndi kutsindika kwathu kwatsopano pa chisomo cha Mulungu, akufunsa, "Kodi zinthu zonsezi za Yesu ndi chiyani?" Yankho lathu pamenepo (monga tsopano) ndi ili: “Tikulalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Iye amene anatipanga ife, amene anadza chifukwa cha ife, amene anatifera ife, nauka, natipulumutsa ife!

Malinga ndi Baibulo, Yesu Khristu, Ambuye wathu woukitsidwa, tsopano ali kumwamba monga Mkulu wa Ansembe, akuyembekezera kubweranso kwake mu ulemerero. Monga momwe analonjezera, akutikonzera malo. “Mitima yanu isavutike. Mukhulupirira Mulungu; khulupirirani Inenso. Nyumba ya Atate wanga ili ndi zipinda zambiri; ngati sikunali choncho, kodi ndikadakuuzani kuti ndipita kukakukonzerani malo? Ndipo ngati ndipita kukakukonzerani malo, ndidzabweranso ndipo ndidzakulandirani kwa Ine ndekha kuti kumene ndili ine, inunso mukakhale. Ndipo kumene ndikupita, mukudziwa njira.” (Joh 14,1-4)Malo awa ndi mphatso ya moyo wosatha ndi Mulungu, mphatso yotheka chifukwa cha zonse zimene Yesu wachita ndi zimene adzachite. Kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera, mtundu wa mphatso imeneyi unavumbulutsidwa kwa Paulo: “Koma tilankhula za nzeru ya Mulungu, yobisika m’chinsinsi, imene Mulungu anakonzeratu ulemerero wathu nthawi zonse, imene palibe wolamulira wa nthawi ino amene anaidziwa. Pakuti akadaidziwa, sakadapachika Ambuye wa ulemerero; koma ife tilankhula monga mwalembedwa.” (Jesaja 64,3)“Zimene diso silinazione, zimene khutu silinazimve, ndi zimene munthu sanaziganizire, ndi zimene Mulungu wakonzera iwo amene amamukonda.” Koma Mulungu watiululira zimenezi kudzera mwa Mzimu, chifukwa Mzimu amafufuza zinthu zonse, ngakhale zinthu zozama za Mulungu. (1. Kor 2,7-10)Ndikuthokoza Mulungu kuti watiululira chinsinsi cha chipulumutso chathu mwa Yesu - chipulumutso chotsimikizika kudzera mu kubadwa, moyo, imfa, kuuka kwa akufa, kukwera kumwamba, ndi kubweranso kwa Ambuye wathu. Zonsezi zimachitika mwa chisomo - chisomo cha Mulungu, choperekedwa kwa ife mwa Yesu, kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera.

Ngakhale kuti posachedwa ndisiya GCI, ndimakhalabe wolumikizana ndi anthu amdera lathu. Ndipitiriza kutumikira m’ma board a US ndi UK GCI, komanso pa komiti ya Grace Communion Seminar (GCS) ndikulalikira m’tchalitchi changa chapakhomo. M'busa Bermie Dizon anandifunsa ngati ndingathe kulalikira mwezi uliwonse. Ndinachita naye nthabwala kuti maudindo onsewa sakumveka ngati kupuma pantchito. Monga tikudziwira, utumiki wathu si ntchito wamba—ndi maitanidwe, njira ya moyo. Malinga ngati Mulungu amandipatsa mphamvu, sindidzasiya kutumikira ena m’dzina la Ambuye wathu.

Ndikayang'ana m'mbuyo zaka makumi angapo zapitazi, kuwonjezera pa zikumbukiro zabwino zochokera ku GCI, ndilinso ndi madalitso ambiri okhudzana ndi banja langa. Ine ndi Tammy tadalitsidwa kuona ana athu aŵiri akukula, akumaliza maphunziro awo ku koleji, kupeza ntchito zabwino, ndi kukhala m’banja losangalala. Chikondwerero chathu cha zochitika zazikuluzikuluzi ndi zazikulu chifukwa sitinkayembekezera kuti tidzafika. Monga ambiri a inu mukudziwa, chiyanjano chathu chinkaphunzitsa kuti sipadzakhala nthawi ya zinthu zotere - Yesu adzabwera posachedwa ndipo tidzatengedwera ku "malo achitetezo" ku Middle East asanabwerenso kachiwiri. Mwamwayi, Mulungu anali ndi mapulani ena, ngakhale pali malo amodzi otetezeka omwe anakonzedwera tonsefe - ndi ufumu wake wosatha.

Pamene ndinayamba kutumikira monga purezidenti wa chipembedzo chathu mu 1995, ndinayang'ana kwambiri pouza anthu kuti Yesu Khristu ndiye mutu wa thupi, mpingo. Iye ndiye chiyambi, woyamba kubadwa kwa akufa, kuti m'zonse akhale wamkulu. (Kol 1,18)Ngakhale kuti tsopano ndikupuma pantchito patatha zaka zoposa 23 monga Purezidenti wa GCI, cholinga changa chili pa izi ndipo ndipitiliza kutero. Mwa chisomo cha Mulungu, sindidzasiya kutsogolera anthu kwa Yesu! Iye ali moyo, ndipo chifukwa Iye ali moyo, ifenso tili ndi moyo.

Kutengeka ndi chikondi
