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 kunena kwa Baibulo, Yesu Kristu, Ambuye wathu woukitsidwayo, tsopano ali kumwamba monga Mkulu wa Ansembe wathu, akumayembekezera kubweranso kwake mu ulemerero. Monga momwe analonjezera, iye akutikonzera malo. “Usachite mantha ndi mtima wako! Khulupirirani mwa Mulungu ndi kukhulupirira mwa ine! M’nyumba ya bambo anga muli malo okhalamo ambiri. Ngati sikudali tero, ndikadati kwa inu, Ndipita kukukonzerani inu malo? Ndipo pamene ndipita kukakonzera inu malo, ndidzabweranso, ndipo ndidzakutengani inu, kuti kumene kuli Ineko, mukakhale inunso. Ndipo kumene ndipita Ine, njira yake mukuidziwa.” ( Yoh4,1-4). Malo amenewa ndi mphatso ya moyo wosatha ndi Mulungu, mphatso imene Yesu anachita ndi imene adzachite. Kupyolera mwa Mzimu Woyera mkhalidwe wa mphatso imeneyo unavumbulidwa kwa Paulo: “Koma tilankhula za nzeru ya Mulungu yobisika m’chinsinsi, imene Mulungu anaikiratu pasadakhale ku ulemerero wathu, imene palibe mmodzi wa olamulira a dziko lapansi anaidziwa; pakuti akadawadziwa sakadapachika Ambuye wa ulemerero. Koma timalankhula monga kwalembedwa (Yesaya 6).4,3): »Zimene diso silinaziwona, kapena khutu silinamve, ndipo palibe mtima wa munthu udaganiza, zimene Mulungu adazikonzera iwo akumkonda Iye. pakuti Mzimu asanthula zonse, ngakhale zozama za Mulungu.”1. Akorinto 2,7-10). Ndiyamika Mulungu kuti watiululira chinsinsi cha chipulumutso chathu mwa Yesu – chipulumutso chotetezedwa ndi kubadwa, moyo, imfa, kuuka kwa akufa, kukwera kumwamba, ndi kubweranso kwa Ambuye wathu. Izi zonse ndi mwa chisomo – chisomo cha Mulungu chopatsidwa kwa ife mwa ndi 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 pulezidenti wa chipembedzo chathu mu 1995, cholinga changa chinali kukumbutsa anthu kuti Yesu Kristu ndiye wamkulu m’zinthu zonse: “Iye ndiye mutu wa thupi, ndiwo mpingo. Iye ndiye chiyambi, woyamba kubadwa kuchokera kwa akufa, kukhala woyamba pa chilichonse.” (Akolose 1,18). Tsopano popeza ndikupuma pantchito patatha zaka zopitilira 23 ngati Purezidenti wa GCI, ndikadali chidwi changa ndipo ndipitilirabe. Mwa chisomo cha Mulungu sindidzasiya kuloza anthu kwa Yesu! Iye ali moyo, ndipo chifukwa ali ndi moyo, ifenso tiri ndi moyo.

Kutengeka ndi chikondi
