68 Mau a m'Baibulo Okhudza Kulapa
Ndikufuna ndikuuzeni anzanga, chikondi cha Mulungu ndi chimene chimatilimbikitsa kulapa, komanso chikhumbo chofuna kumvera malamulo ake. Monga mmene lemba la Machitidwe 3:19 limatiuza, "Lapani, bwererani kwa Mulungu kuti machimo anu afafanizidwe, kuti nthawi yotsitsimutsa ifike kuchokera kwa Ambuye." Uwu ndi m'modzi mwa mfundo zoyambirira za Uthenga Wabwino, ndipo ndi wofunika kwambiri kuti tikhale osangalala m'moyo uno komanso kwamuyaya.
Kulapa ndi kusintha maganizo ndi mtima, kumene kumatipatsa ife kumvetsetsa Mulungu, ife eni, ndi dziko m'njira yatsopano. Kulapa kumatithandiza kusiya moyo wauve komanso kuyamba kukhala moyo woyera womwe umasangalatsa Ambuye.
Sikuti kulapa ndi kungolira misozi yambiri ayi. Koma ndi kusintha kwathunthu, kumene sumangokhalira kukhutiritsa zilakolako za thupi, koma umayesetsa ndi mtima wako wonse, moyo wako wonse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse kusangalatsa Ambuye kuposa china chilichonse.
Mtima womwe walapa ndi womwe udzapulumutsidwa, machimo ake adzakhululukidwa, ndipo udzakhala ndi moyo wosatha mwa Khristu Yesu. Choncho, choyamba, pemphani Mzimu Woyera kuti akuyeseni ndikukubwezeretsani ku njira yoyenera, kuti musiye mdima ndikukhala ngati mwana wa kuunika.
Kuyambira nthaŵi imeneyo Yesu adayamba kulalika kuti, “Tembenukani mtima, chifukwa ufumu wakumwamba wayandikira.”
Tsono kumbukirani zimene mudaphunzira, ndi zimene mudamva. Muzisunge ndipo mutembenuke mtima. Mukapanda kudzuka, ndidzabwera mwadzidzidzi ngati mbala, mwakuti nthaŵi imene ndidzakupezeniyo simudzaidziŵa.
Mulungu adaaŵalekerera anthu pa nthaŵi imene iwo anali osadziŵa, koma tsopano akuŵalamula anthu onse ponseponse kuti atembenuke mtima.
Sikuti akuzengereza kuchita zimene adalonjeza, monga m'mene ena amaganizira, koma akukulezerani mtima. Safuna kuti ena aonongedwe, koma afuna kuti onse atembenuke mtima.
Nchifukwa chake tembenuka mtima, uleke choipa chakochi. Pempha Ambuye kuti mwina mwake nkukukhululukira maganizo a mumtima mwakoŵa.
Onse amene ndimaŵakonda, ndimaŵadzudzula ndi kuŵalanga motero. Tsono chitani khama, mutembenuke mtima.
Petro adaŵauza kuti, “Tembenukani mtima, ndipo aliyense mwa inu abatizidwe m'dzina la Yesu Khristu. Mukatero machimo anu akhululukidwa, ndipo mudzalandira mphatso ya Mzimu Woyera.
Pamene otsutsana naye aja adamva zimenezi, adaleka mitsutsoyo. Adatamanda Mulungu adati, “Kodi kani! Ndiye kuti Mulungu wapatsadi ndi akunja omwe mwai woti atembenuke mtima ndi kulandira moyo!”
Yesu adaŵayankha kuti, “Anthu amene ali bwino sasoŵa sing'anga ai, koma amene akudwala.
Inetu sindidabwere kudzaitana anthu olungama, koma anthu ochimwa, kuti atembenuke mtima.”
Tsono tembenukani mtima ndi kubwerera kwa Mulungu, kuti akufafanizireni machimo anu. Motero Ambuye adzakupatsani nthaŵi ya mpumulo,
Ng'ambani mitima yanu, osati zovala zanu chabe.” Bwererani kwa Chauta, Mulungu wanu, poti Iye ngwokoma mtima ndi wachifundo, wosakwiya msanga ndi wa chikondi chosasinthika. Nthaŵi zonse ndi wokonzeka kukhululuka.
Yandikirani kwa Mulungu, ndipo Iye adzayandikira kwa inu. Muzisamba m'manja, inu anthu ochimwa. Chotsani maganizo onyenga m'mitima mwanu, inu anthu okayikakayika.
Koma tikamavomera kuti ndife ochimwa, Mulungu amene ali wokhulupirika ndi wolungama, adzatikhululukira machimo athuwo. Adzatiyeretsa ndi kutichotsera kusalungama kwathu konse.
Paja chisoni chokomera Mulungu chimamtembenuza munthu ndi kumpulumutsa, kotero kuti chisoni chake chimathera pomwepo. Koma kumva chisoni monga m'mene amachitira anthu odalira zapansipano, kumadzetsa imfa.
“Ine ndimakubatizani ndi madzi, kusonyeza kuti mwatembenuka mtima. Koma amene akubwera pambuyo panga ndi wamphamvu kuposa ine. Ameneyo ine ndine wosayenera ngakhale kunyamula nsapato zake. Iyeyo adzakubatizani mwa Mzimu Woyera ndiponso m'moto.
Wobisa machimo ake sadzaona mwai, koma woulula ndi kuleka machimo, adzalandira chifundo.
Yesu adapitiriza mau kuti, “Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti momwemonso Kumwamba kudzakhala chimwemwe chifukwa cha munthu mmodzi wochimwa amene watembenuka mtima, kuposa anthu olungama 99 amene alibe chifukwa chotembenukira mtima.”
Ankati, “Nthaŵi yakwana, Ufumu wa Mulungu wayandikira. Tembenukani mtima ndi kukhulupirira Uthenga Wabwinowu.”
Nsembe imene Inu Mulungu mumailandira, ndi mtima wotswanyika. Mtima wachisoni ndi wolapa, Inu Mulungu simudzaunyoza.
ndipo anthu anga amene amatchedwa dzina langa akadzichepetsa, napemphera, ndi kufunafuna nkhope yanga, nasiya njira zao zoipa, pamenepo Ine ndidzamva kumwambako. Choncho ndidzaŵakhululukira zoipa zao ndi kupulumutsa dziko lao.
Ayuda ndi Agriki omwe ndidaŵapempha kolimba kuti atembenukire kwa Mulungu molapa, ndi kumakhulupirira Ambuye athu Yesu.
Atumwi aja adamveradi zimenezi, adakaloŵa m'Nyumba ya Mulungu m'mamaŵa, nayamba kuphunzitsa. Pamene mkulu wa ansembe onse adafika pamodzi ndi anzake aja, adaitanitsa msonkhano wa Bungwe Lalikulu, ndiye kuti Bwalo lonse la akuluakulu a Aisraele. Tsono adatuma anthu kuti apite ku ndende akaŵatenge atumwi aja.
Kodi kapena ukupeputsa chifundo chachikulu cha Mulungu, kuleza mtima kwake, ndi kupirira kwake? Kodi sukudziŵa kuti Mulungu akukuchitira chifundo chifukwa afuna kuti utembenuke mtima?
Pambuyo pake Yesu adayamba kudzudzula midzi imene Iye adaaichitira zamphamvu zochuluka. Adaidzudzula chifukwa anthu ake anali osatembenuka mtima.
Pa tsiku la chiweruzo anthu a ku Ninive adzauka pamodzi ndi anthu a mbadwo uno, nadzaŵatsutsa. Paja iwowo adaatembenuka mtima, atamva malaliko a Yona. Ndipotu pano pali woposa Yona amene.
Mundilengere mtima woyera, Inu Mulungu, muike mwa ine mtima watsopano ndi wokhazikika.
Musandipirikitse pamaso panu, musachotse Mzimu wanu woyera mwa ine.
Mundibwezere chimwemwe cha chipulumutso chanu, mulimbitse mwa ine mtima womvera.
Yesu popitiriza mau adati, “Ndikunenetsa kuti ndi m'menenso angelo a Mulungu amakondwerera munthu mmodzi wochimwa amene watembenuka mtima.”
“Nchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Chauta ndikuti, Aisraele inu, aliyense mwa inu ndidzamuweruza molingana ndi ntchito zake. Lapani, tembenukani mtima, kuti machimo anu asakuwonongeni.
Oipa asiye makhalidwe ao oipa, ndipo osalungama asinthe maganizo ao oipa. Abwerere kwa Chauta, kuti Iyeyo aŵachitire chifundo. Abwerere kwa Mulungu wathu, kuti Iye aŵakhululukire machimo ao mofeŵa mtima.”
Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asakhale wadama, kapena wonyoza zauzimu, monga Esau, amene adaagulitsa ukulu wake ndi chakudya cha kamodzi kokha.
Paja mukudziŵa kuti, pambuyo pake adaafuna kulandira madalitso a atate ake, koma zidakanika, chifukwa sadathenso kusintha maganizo, ngakhale adaalakalaka kutero molira mizozi.
“Bwerani kwa Ine, inu nonse otopa ndi olemedwa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani mpumulo.
Senzani goli langa ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine, pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wa mtima wodzichepetsa; mukatero mudzapeza mpumulo m'mitima mwanu.
“Kodi Inu ndinu uja ankati adzabwerayu, kapena tiziyembekezera wina?”
Pajatu goli limene ndimakoleka Ine nlosavuta, ndipo katundu amene ndimasenzetsa Ine ngwopepuka.”
Musadzinyenge, nkosatheka kupusitsa Mulungu. Zimene munthu amabzala, adzakolola zomwezo.
Munthu wongodalira zilakolako zake zokha, chimene adzakolole ndi imfa. Koma munthu wodalira Mzimu Woyera, chimene adzakolole ndi moyo wosatha.
Abale, wina akagwa m'tchimo lililonse, inu amene Mzimu Woyera amakutsogolerani, mumthandize munthuyo ndi mtima wofatsa kuti akonzekenso. Koma mukhale maso kuti inu nomwe mungayesedwe ndi zoipa.
kuti m'dzina lake mau alalikidwe kwa anthu a mitundu yonse, kuyambira ku Yerusalemu, mau akuti atembenuke mtima, kuti Mulungu aŵakhululukire machimo ao.
Kumbukirani tsono kuti munali okwera kwambiri musanagwe; nchifukwa chake mutembenuke mtima, muzichitanso zija munkachita poyambazi. Mukapanda kutero, ndidzabwera nkudzachotsa ndodo ya nyale yanu pamalo pake.
Malipiro amene uchimo umalipira ndi imfa. Koma mphatso yaulere imene Mulungu amapereka ndi moyo wosatha mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu.
Kamvetsetseni tanthauzo la mau a Mulungu aja akuti, ‘Ndimafuna chifundo, osati nsembe ai.’ Inetu sindidabwere kudzaitana anthu olungama, koma anthu ochimwa.”
Nchifukwa chake mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthaŵi yake adzakukwezeni.
Nchifukwa chake mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthaŵi yake adzakukwezeni.
Tulani pa Iye nkhaŵa zanu zonse, popeza kuti Iye ndiye amakusamalirani.
Paja mukudziŵa kuti, pambuyo pake adaafuna kulandira madalitso a atate ake, koma zidakanika, chifukwa sadathenso kusintha maganizo, ngakhale adaalakalaka kutero molira mizozi.
Aneneriwo ankati, ‘Aliyense mwa inu akaleka makhalidwe ake oipa ndi ntchito zake zoipa, ndiye kuti mudzakhala m'dziko limene Chauta adakupatsani inu ndi makolo anu mpaka muyaya.
Mudzadzuka nkuchitira chifundo mzinda wa Ziyoni, zoonadi, nthaŵi yake youkomera mtima yafika.
Mudzidzimuke mumtima mwanu, ndipo muleke kuchimwa. Ena mwa inu sadziŵa Mulungu konse. Ndikukuuzani zimenezi kuti muchite manyazi.
Inu Chauta, mukadaŵerengera machimo, ndani akadakhala chilili opanda mlandu, Ambuye?
Koma inu mumakhululukira, nchifukwa chake timakulemekezani.
Chauta ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mopemba. Ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mokhulupirika.
“Kodi inu, mukuganiza bwanji? Munthu wina anali ndi ana aamuna aŵiri. Adapita kwa woyamba, nakamuuza kuti, ‘Mwana wanga, pita ukagwire ntchito m'munda wamphesa lero.’
Iyeyo adati, ‘Toto ine.’ Koma pambuyo pake adasintha maganizo, napitadi.
Wina akakakufunsani kanthu, inu mukati, ‘Ambuye ali nawo ntchito, akangothana nawo aŵatumiza nthaŵi yomweyo.’ ”
Bambo uja adapita kwa mwana wina uja, nakamuuza mau omwe aja. Iyeyo adati, ‘Chabwino atate,’ koma sadapite.
Kodi mwa aŵiriwo, yemwe adachita zimene bambo wake ankafuna ndi uti?” Iwo adati, “Woyamba uja.” Yesu adaŵauza kuti, “Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti okhometsa msonkho ndi akazi adama akuloŵa mu Ufumu wa Mulungu inu nkumakusiyani m'mbuyo.
Koma ndidalalika poyamba kwa anthu a ku Damasiko ndi a ku Yerusalemu, ndipo bwino lake ku dziko lonse la Yudeya, ndiponso kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndidalalika kuti atembenuke mtima, kutembenukira kwa Mulungu, ndi kuchita ntchito zotsimikiza kuti atembenukadi mtima.
Uŵauze kuti Ine Ambuye Chauta ndikuti, Ndithudi, pali Ine ndemwe, sindikondwa ndikaona munthu woipa alikufa. Ndikadakonda kuti aleke kuchimwako kuti akhale ndi moyo. Inu Aisraele, muferanji? Tembenukani, lekani zoipa zimene mukuchita.
Chauta akunena kuti, “Tiyeni tsono tikambe mlandu wanu: chifukwa cha machimo anu mwafiira kwambiri, koma Ine ndidzakutsukani, inu nkukhala oyera kuti mbee. Mwachita kuti psuu ngati magazi, koma mudzakhala oyera ngati thonje.
Chenjerani tsono! “Mbale wako akachimwa, umdzudzule. Akatembenuka mtima, umkhululukire.
Zidzateronso pa tsiku limene Mwana wa munthu adzaoneke.
“Tsiku limenelo, amene ali pa denga, asadzatsike kukatenga katundu wake m'nyumba. Chimodzimodzinso amene ali ku munda, asadzabwerere ku nyumba.
Kumbukirani za mkazi wa Loti.
Aliyense woyesa kudzisungira moyo wake, adzautaya, koma woutaya adzausunga.
Kunena zoona, usiku umenewo, padzakhala anthu aŵiri pa bedi limodzi, mmodzi adzamtenga, winayo nkumusiya.
Azimai aŵiri adzakhala akusinja pamodzi, mmodzi adzamtenga, winayo nkumusiya,
Anthu aŵiri adzakhala ali m'munda, mmodzi adzamtenga, winayo nkumusiya.”
Apo ophunzira ake adamufunsa kuti, “Kodi zimenezi zidzachitikira kuti, Ambuye?” Yesu adati, “Kumene kwafera chinthu, nkumeneko kumasonkhana miphamba.”
Akakuchimwira kasanunkaŵiri pa tsiku, nabwera kasanunkaŵiri kudzanena kuti, ‘Pepani,’ umkhululukire ndithu.”
Zochita za khalidwe lokonda zoipa zimaonekera poyera. Ndi izi: Dama, kuchita zonyansa, kusadziletsa,
Ndiye mvetsani, ine Paulo ndikukuuzani kuti mukalola kukuumbalani, Khristu simupindula nayenso konse ai.
kupembedza mafano, ufiti, chidani, kukangana, kaduka, kupsa mtima, kudzikonda, kusagwirizana, kuchita mipatuko,
dumbo, kuledzera, kudakwa pa maphwando achipembedzo, ndi zina zotere. Ndikukuchenjezani tsopano, monga ndidaachitanso kale, kuti anthu amene amachita zotere, sadzalandirako Ufumu wa Mulungu.
Iphani tsono zilakolako za mu mtima wanu woumirira zapansipano, monga dama, zonyansa, kulakalaka zosayenera, kukhumba zoipa, ndiponso kusirira zinthu mwaumbombo. Kusirira kotereku sikusiyana ndi kupembedza mafano.
Ndasokera ngati nkhosa yoloŵerera, koma mundifunefune ine mtumiki wanu, pakuti sindiiŵala malamulo anu. Nyimbo yoimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu.
Abale, sindikuganiza konse kuti ndazipata kale. Koma pali chimodzi chokha chimene ndimachita: ndimaiŵala zakumbuyo, ndi kuyesetsa kufikira ku zakutsogolo.
Ndikuthamangira ku mapeto a mpikisano wa liŵirowu, kuti ndikalandire mphotho Kumwamba, imene Mulungu akutiitanira kudzera mwa Khristu Yesu.
Muziwululirana machimo anu, ndipo muzipemphererana kuti muchire. Pemphero la munthu wolungama limakhala lamphamvu, ndipo silipita pachabe.
Tsono tinene chiyani? Kodi tinganene kuti tizingokhalabe mu uchimo kuti kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu kuchuluke?
Kufa kumene adafako kunali kufa kolekana ndi uchimo, ndipo adafa kamodzi kokhako. Tsono moyo umene ali nawo tsopano ndi moyo woperekedwa kwa Mulungu.
Momwemonso inuyo mudziwone ochita ngati kufa nkulekana ndi uchimo, koma okhala ndi moyo wotumikira Mulungu, mogwirizana ndi Khristu.
Nchifukwa chake musalole uchimo kuti ulamulire matupi anu otha kufaŵa, ndipo musagonjere zilakolako zake.
Musapereke chiwalo chilichonse cha thupi lanu ku uchimo, kuti chigwire ntchito zotsutsana ndi chilungamo. Inu mudzipereke kwa Mulungu, monga anthu amene anali akufa, koma tsopano ali amoyo. Ndipo mupereke ziwalo zanu zonse kwa Mulungu, kuti zigwire ntchito zachilungamo.
Tsono uchimo sudzakhalanso ndi mphamvu pa inu, pakuti chimene chimalamulira moyo wanu si Malamulo ai koma kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu.
Bwanji tsono? Kodi tizichimwabe popeza kuti chimene chimalamulira moyo wathu si Malamulo, koma kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu? Iyai, mpang'ono pomwe.
Mukudziŵa paja kuti mukadzipereka kuti mukhale akapolo a munthu nkumamumvera, ndiye kuti ndinu akapolo a munthu womumverayo. Tsono ngati ndinu akapolo a uchimo, mudzafa. Koma ngati ndinu akapolo a Mulungu, mudzakhala olungama pamaso pake.
Tiyamike Mulungu! Inu kale munali akapolo a uchimo, koma tsopano mukumvera ndi mtima wonse zoona za chiphunzitso chimene mudalandira.
Mudamasulidwa ku uchimo, ndipo tsopano mwasanduka atumiki a Mulungu ochita zachilungamo.
Ndikukupherani fanizo la ukapololi kuti mungalephere kumvetsa bwino zimenezi. Kale munkadzipereka kuti mukhale akapolo a zonyansa ndi zosalongosoka zonkirankira. Chonchonso tsopano mudzipereke kuti musanduke atumiki a Mulungu ochita zachilungamo, kuti mukhale oyera mtima.
Iyai, mpang'ono pomwe. Tidachita ngati kufa nkulekana ndi uchimo. Nanga tingakhalebe mu uchimowo bwanji?
Mulungutu waonetsa kukoma mtima kwake kofuna kupulumutsa anthu onse.
Kukoma mtima kwakeko kumatiphunzitsa kusiya moyo wosalemekeza Mulungu, ndiponso zilakolako za dziko lapansi. Kumatiphunzitsa kuti moyo wathu pansi pano ukhale wodziletsa, wolungama ndi wolemekeza Mulungu.
