MAVESI OKHUDZA MAPEMPHERO
Tiyeni tipemphere chilichonse kwa Mulungu. Salmo 37:4 imati, “Kondwera mwa Yehova, ndipo adzakupatsa zokhumba za mtima wako.” Mulungu akunena kuti tikampita kwa Iye, ndi kupempha mogwirizana ndi chifuniro Chake, Iye adzatimva. Tikamva yankho lake, tidzadziwa kuti tapeza chimene tinapempha.
Lonjezo labwino kwambiri la Mulungu limapezeka mu Salmo 37. Mukapemphera, muyenera kuona Mulungu osati mavuto anu. Lankhulani ndi Mulungu mukudziwa kuti akumva ndipo mphamvu Yake ili pamwamba pa zonse. Mukatero mudzadziwa kuti Mulungu ndiye pakati pa moyo wanu ndipo pemphero lanu lidzamvedwa.
Ngakhale mutaona kuti Mulungu sakumvani, musaleke kupemphera. Nthawi zina, Mulungu amakhala ngati nsalu yopukutira misozi kwa ife amene timamufikira, osati kuti atichotsere mavuto athu, koma kuti “tidandaule”. Mapemphero athu amadzaza ndi madandaulo, mkwiyo, ndi ukali, koma nthawi zambiri sitimuuza Mulungu kuti tikumudalira, kuti amadziwa mavuto athu ndipo angathe kuwathetsa.
Atate wanu wakumwamba amakukondani, ndipo nthawi yake ikadzakwana adzayankha mapemphero anu. Kumbukirani kuti nthawi ya Mulungu ndi yangwiro. Mu Baibulo muli mavesi ambiri okhudza kupempha kwa Mulungu, werengani ndipo chikhulupiriro chanu chidzakulirakulira tsiku lililonse. Mulungu akudalitseni.
Yesu adamuuza kuti, “Woukitsa anthu kwa akufa ndiponso woŵapatsa moyo ndine. Munthu wokhulupirira Ine, ngakhale afe adzakhala ndi moyo.
Yesu adamuuza kuti, “Woukitsa anthu kwa akufa ndiponso woŵapatsa moyo ndine. Munthu wokhulupirira Ine, ngakhale afe adzakhala ndi moyo.
Ndipo aliyense amene ali ndi moyo nakhulupirira Ine, sadzafa konse. Kodi ukukhulupirira zimenezi?”
Ine ndikutsimikiza kuti masautso amene tikuŵamva tsopano salingana mpang'ono pomwe ndi ulemerero umene Mulungu adakonza kuti adzatiwonetse m'tsogolo muno.
Iye adzaŵapukuta misozi yonse m'maso mwao. Sipadzakhalanso imfa, chisoni, kulira, kapena kumva zoŵaŵa. Zakale zonse zapitiratu.”
Pamenepo wokhala pampando wachifumu uja adati, “Tsopano ndisandutsa zonse kuti zikhale zatsopano.” Adanenanso kuti, “Lemba zimenezi, pakuti mau ameneŵa ndi oona ndi oyenera kuŵakhulupirira.”
Tikakhala ndi moyo, moyowo ndi wa Ambuye, tikafa, timafera Ambuye. Nchifukwa chake, ngakhale tikhale ndi moyo kapena tife, ndife ao a Ambuye.
“Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti munthu womva mau anga, nakhulupirira Iye amene adandituma, ameneyo ali ndi moyo wosatha. Iyeyo sazengedwa mlandu, koma watuluka kale mu imfa, ndipo waloŵa m'moyo.
Musadabwe nazo zimenezi, pakuti ikudza nthaŵi pamene anthu onse amene ali m'manda adzamva mau ake nadzatuluka.
Anthu amene adachita zabwino, adzauka kuti akhale ndi moyo, koma amene adachita zoipa, adzauka kuti azengedwe mlandu.”
Kwa Chauta ndiye kothaŵirako anthu opsinjidwa, ndiyenso kopulumukira pa nthaŵi yamavuto.
Mulungu ndiye kothaŵira kwathu, ndiye mphamvu zathu. Ali wokonzekeratu kutithandiza pa nthaŵi yamavuto.
Mkwiyo wake ndi wa kanthaŵi chabe, koma kukoma mtima kwake nkwa moyo wonse. Misozi ingachezere kugwa usiku, m'maŵa kumabwera chimwemwe chokhachokha.
Ndidamva mau amphamvu ochokera ku mpando wachifumu uja. Mauwo adati, “Tsopano malo okhalamo Mulungu ali pakati pa anthu. Iye adzakhala nawo pamodzi, ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu akeake. Mulungu mwini adzakhala nawo, ndipo adzakhala Mulungu wao.
Iye adzaŵapukuta misozi yonse m'maso mwao. Sipadzakhalanso imfa, chisoni, kulira, kapena kumva zoŵaŵa. Zakale zonse zapitiratu.”
Chauta, mumamva zimene odzichepetsa amapempha. Mudzalimbitsa mitima yao, mudzaŵatchera khutu.
Tiyamike Mulungu, Atate a Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. Ndiwo Atate a chifundo ndi otilimbitsa mtima kwathunthu.
Mulungu amatilimbitsa mtima m'masautso athu onse, kuti monga momwe Iye amalimbitsira ife mtima, nafenso tithe kuŵalimbitsa mtima anzathu amene ali pakati pa masautso amitundumitundu.
Inu Mulungu, imvani kulira kwanga, mverani pemphero langa.
Ine wokhala ku mathero a dziko lapansi, ndataya mtima, ndipo ndikuitana Inu. Munditsogolere ku thanthwe lalitali.
Ndithu, Inu mumayatsa nyale ya moyo wanga. Chauta, Mulungu wanga, amandiwunikira mu mdima.
Chikondi chosasinthika cha Chauta sichitha, chifundo chakenso nchosatha.
M'maŵa mulimonse zachifundozo zimaoneka zatsopano, chifukwa Chauta ndi wokhulupirika kwambiri.
Yesu adauza ophunzira akewo kuti “Mtima wanu usavutike. Khulupirirani Mulungu, khulupirirani Inenso.
Kodi sukukhulupirira kuti Ine ndimakhala mwa Atate, ndipo Atate amakhala mwa Ine? Mau amene ndimakuuzani sachokera kwa Ine ndekha ai, koma Atate amene amakhala mwa Ine, ndiwo amagwira ntchito yao.
Mundikhulupirire kuti Ine ndimakhala mwa Atate ndipo Atate amakhala mwa Ine. Kupanda apo, khulupiriranitu chifukwa cha ntchito zanga zomwezo.
Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti amene amandikhulupirira, ntchito zomwe ndimachita Ine, nayenso adzazichita. Ndipo adzachita zoposa pamenepa, chifukwa ndikupita kwa Atate.
Chilichonse chomwe mudzachipemphe potchula dzina langa ndidzachita, kuti Atate adzalemekezedwe mwa Mwana.
Ngati mudzandipempha kanthu potchula dzina langa ndidzakachitadi.”
“Ngati mundikonda, muzidzatsata malamulo anga.
Pamenepo ndidzapempha Atate, ndipo adzakupatsani Nkhoswe ina kuti izikhala nanu nthaŵi zonse.
Nkhosweyo ndi Mzimu wodziŵitsa zoona. Anthu ongokonda zapansipano sangathe kumlandira ai, chifukwa samuwona kapena kumdziŵa. Koma inu mumamdziŵa, chifukwa amakhala ndi inu, ndipo adzakhala mwa inu.
Sindidzakusiyani nokha kuti mukhale ana amasiye. Ndidzabweranso kwa inu.
Kwangotsala kanthaŵi pang'ono, ndipo anthu ongokonda zapansipano sadzandiwonanso, koma inu mudzandiwona. Popeza kuti Ine ndili ndi moyo, inunso mudzakhala ndi moyo.
M'nyumba mwa Atate anga muli malo ambiri okhalamo. Kukadakhala kuti mulibe malo, ndikadakuuzani. Ndikupita kukakukonzerani malo.
Tsiku limenelo mudzadziŵa kuti Ine ndimakhala mwa Atate, ndipo inu mumakhala mwa Ine, monga Ine ndimakhala mwa inu.
“Munthu amene alandira malamulo anga naŵatsata, ndiye amandikonda. Ndipo amene andikonda Ine, Atate anga adzamkonda. Inenso ndidzamkonda munthuyo, ndipo ndidzadziwonetsa kwa iye.”
Yudasi, osati Iskariote uja ai, adamufunsa kuti, “Ambuye zatani kuti muziti mudzadziwonetsa kwa ife, koma osati kwa anthu onse?”
Yesu adati, “Ngati munthu andikonda, adzatsata zimene ndanena Ine. Atate anga adzamkonda, ndipo Ife tidzabwera nkukhazikika mwa iye.
Munthu amene sandikonda, satsata zimene ndanena Ine. Mau amene mulikumvaŵa si angatu ai, koma ndi a Atate amene adandituma.
“Zimenezi ndakuuzani ndikadali nanu.
Koma Nkhoswe ija, Mzimu Woyera amene Atate adzamtuma m'dzina langa, ndiye adzakuphunzitseni zonse, ndipo adzakukumbutsani zonse zimene ndidakuuzani.
“Ndikukusiyirani mtendere. Ndikukupatsani mtendere wanga. Sindikukupatsani mtenderewo monga m'mene dziko lino lapansi limapatsira ai. Mtima wanu usavutike kapena kuda nkhaŵa.
Mwandimva ndikukuuzani kuti, ‘Ndikupita, koma ndidzabweranso kwa inu.’ Mukadandikonda, bwenzi mutakondwera kuti ndikupita kwa Atate, chifukwa Atate ngoposa Ine.
Ndakuuziranitu zimenezi tsopano zisanachitike, kuti zikadzachitika, mudzakhulupirire.
Ndipo ndikapita kukakukonzerani malo, ndidzabweranso kudzakutengani, kuti inunso mukakhale kumene kuli Ine.
Chauta adzathetsa imfa mpaka muyaya, adzapukuta misozi m'maso mwa aliyense, ndipo adzachotsa manyazi a anthu ake pa dziko lonse lapansi. Watero Chauta.
Tiyeni tsono, tiyandikire mopanda mantha ku mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu wokoma mtima. Kumeneko tidzalandira chifundo, ndipo mwa kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu tidzapeza thandizo pa nthaŵi yake yeniyeni.
Ndithu ndikudziŵa mosakayika konse kuti palibe kanthu kangatilekanitse ndi chikondi chake. Ngakhale imfa kapena moyo, ngakhale angelo kapena olamulira, ngakhale zinthu zimene zilipo tsopano, kapena zimene zidzaoneke m'tsogolomo, kapena zamphamvu zina zilizonse,
ngakhale zakumwamba kapena zapansi, kapenanso kanthu kena kalikonse kolengedwa, sikangadzatilekanitse ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, chimene tili nacho mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu.
Ndidatama dzina lanu mopemba, Inu Chauta, ndili m'dzenje lozamalo.
Inu mudamva mau anga akuti, “Musagonthetse dala makutu anu pamene ndikupemphera kuti mudzandithandize.”
Inu mudasendera pafupi pamene ndinkakutamani mopemba, ndipo mudanena kuti “Usachite mantha.”
Abale, tifuna kuti mudziŵeko za anthu amene adamwalira, kuti chisoni chanu chisakhale ngati cha anthu ena amene alibe chiyembekezo.
Paja ife timakhulupirira kuti Yesu adaamwalira naukanso. Motero timakhulupiriranso kuti anthu amene adamwalira akukhulupirira Yesu, iwonso Mulungu adzaŵaukitsa nkubwera nawo pamodzi ndi Yesuyo.
Usachite mantha chifukwa Ine ndili nawe, usataye mtima, poti Ine ndine Mulungu wako. Ndidzakupatsa mphamvu, ndidzakuthandiza, ndidzakutchinjiriza ndi dzanja langa lamanja logonjetsa.
Ngakhale ndiyende m'chigwa chamdima wabii, sindidzaopa choipa chilichonse, pakuti Inu Ambuye mumakhala nane. Chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu zimanditeteza.
Pamenepo mtendere wochokera kwa Mulungu, umene uli wopitirira nzeru zonse za anthu, udzasunga bwino mitima yanu ndi maganizo anu mwa Khristu Yesu.
Mulungu amene amatipatsa chikhulupiriro, adzaze mitima yanu ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere pakumvera Iye, kuti chiyembekezo chanu chizikulirakulira ndi mphamvu za Mzimu Woyera.
Iye adzaŵapukuta misozi yonse m'maso mwao. Sipadzakhalanso imfa, chisoni, kulira, kapena kumva zoŵaŵa. Zakale zonse zapitiratu.”
Mtima wanu usakangamire pa ndalama, ndipo zimene muli nazo, mukhutire nazo. Paja Mulungu adati, “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani konse.”
Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja, ndidzakhala nawe, pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje, siidzakukokolola. Pamene ukudutsa pa moto sudzapsa, malaŵi ake sadzakutentha.
“Iwe imfa, kupambana kwako kuli kuti? Iwe imfa, ululu wako uli kuti?”
Ululu wake wa imfa ndi uchimo, ndipo chimene chimapatsa uchimo mphamvu, ndi Malamulo.
Koma tiyamike Mulungu amene amatipambanitsa mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
“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.”
Thupi langa ndi mtima wanga zingafooke chotani, Mulungu ndiye mphamvu za mtima wanga ndiyenso wondigaŵira madalitso mpaka muyaya.
Muzikhala okondwa chifukwa cha chiyembekezo chanu. Muzipirira pakati pa masautso, ndipo muzipemphera nthaŵi zonse.
Inu Chauta, mumapatsa mtendere weniweni kwa amene ali ndi mtima wokhazikika, chifukwa chokhulupirira Inu.
Inu anthu, mukhulupirire Chauta mpaka muyaya, chifukwa chakuti Chauta Mulungu ndiye thanthwe losatha.
Ndamenya nkhondo yabwino, ndatsiriza bwino mpikisano wa liŵiro, ndasunga chikhulupiriro.
Tsopano chimene chikundidikira ndi mphotho ya chilungamo imene Mulungu wandisungira. Ambuye amene ali Woweruza wolungama, ndiwo amene adzandipatsa mphothoyo pa tsiku la chiweruzo. Tsonotu sadzangopatsa ine ndekha ai, komanso ena onse amene mwachikondi akudikira kuti Ambuyewo adzabwerenso.
Tiyeni tsono, tigwiritse chikhulupiriro chimene timavomereza. Pakuti tili naye Mkulu wa ansembe wopambana, amene adapita mpaka kukafika kumwamba kwenikweni kwa Mulungu. Iyeyu ndi Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu.
Sitili ndi Mkulu wa ansembe woti sangathe kutimvera chifundo chifukwa cha zofooka zathu. Wathu Mkulu wa ansembe onse adayesedwa pa zonse, monga momwe ife timayesedwera, koma Iye sadachimwe konse.
Tiyeni tsono, tiyandikire mopanda mantha ku mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu wokoma mtima. Kumeneko tidzalandira chifundo, ndipo mwa kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu tidzapeza thandizo pa nthaŵi yake yeniyeni.
Bwanji ukumva chisoni, iwe mtima wanga? Chifukwa chiyani ukuvutika choncho m'kati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamtamandanso, Iye amene ali thandizo langa ndi Mulungu wanga.
Ndipo tikudziŵa kuti Mulungu amayendetsa zinthu mwa njira yoti zonse ziŵakomere anthu omukonda ndipo apindulepo. Anthuwo ndi amene Iye amaŵaitana monga momwe Iye adazikonzera.
Chomwecho inunso mukuvutika tsopano, koma ndidzakuwonaninso. Pamenepo mtima wanu udzakondwa, ndipo palibe munthu amene adzakulandani chimwemwe chanucho.
Umboniwo tsono ndi wakuti Mulungu adatipatsa moyo wosatha, ndipo moyowo umapezeka mwa Mwana wake.
Amene ali ndi Mwanayo, ali nawo moyo. Amene sali ndi Mwana wa Mulungu, alibe moyo.
Akadzandiitana, ndidzamuyankha, ndidzakhala naye pa nthaŵi yamavuto. Ndidzamlanditsa ndi kumlemekeza.
Mzimu wa Ambuye Chauta wadzaza mwa ine, chifukwa Chauta wandidzoza. Wandituma kuti ndikalalike uthenga wabwino kwa anthu osauka, ndi kukasangalatsa a mtima wosweka, kukalengeza kwa akapolo kuti adzalandira ufulu, ndiponso kwa am'ndende kuti adzaŵamasula.
Tsono ndikusangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha Chauta, mtima wanga ukukondwadi chifukwa cha Mulungu wanga. Pakuti Iye wandiveka zovala zachipulumutso. Wandiveka mkanjo wa chilungamo. Zinali ngati mkwati wamwamuna wavala nkhata ya maluŵa m'khosi, ndiponso ngati mkwati wamkazi wavala mikanda ya mtengo wapatali.
Monga momwe nthaka imameretsera mbeu, ndiponso monga momwe munda umakulitsira zimene adabzalamo, momwemonso Chauta adzaonetsa chilungamo ndi ulemerero wake pamaso pa anthu onse.
Wandituma kukalengeza za nthaŵi imene Chauta adzapulumutsa anthu ake ndi kulipsira adani ake. Wanditumanso kukatonthoza olira.
Wandituma kuti ndiŵakonzere zofunika olira a ku Ziyoni, ndiye kuti ndiŵapatse maluŵa achisangalalo m'malo mwa phulusa lachisoni, ndiŵapatse mafuta osonyeza kukondwa m'malo mwa kulira, ndiŵapatse chovala cha chikondwerero m'malo mwa kutaya mtima. Tsono adzatchedwa mitengo yamphamvu yachilungamo, yoibzala Chauta, kuti Iye mwini apezepo ulemu.
Muzikaŵaphunzitsa kusunga zonse zimene Ine ndidakulamulani. Ndipo Ineyo ndili nanu masiku onse, mpaka kutha kwa dziko lino lapansi.”
Mulungu Atate athu ndi Ambuye Yesu Khristu akukomereni mtima ndi kukupatsani mtendere.
Mulungu ndiye adakulunzanitsani ndi Khristu Yesu, ndipo adamsandutsa kuti akhale nzeru yathu. Chifukwa cha Yesu, timapezeka olungama pamaso pa Mulungu. Ndi Yesuyo amene amatisandutsa anthu akeake a Mulungu, ndiye amatipulumutsa.
Nchifukwa chake, monga Malembo anenera, “Wofuna kunyada, anyadire Ambuye.”
Nthaŵi zonse ndimayamika Mulungu wanga chifukwa cha inu, popeza kuti adakukomerani mtima mwa Khristu Yesu.
Zoonadi mwa Khristu mwakhala anthu olemera pa zonse, makamaka pa kulankhula ndi pa kudziŵa zinthu,
Uzikhulupirira Chauta ndi mtima wako wonse, usadalire nzeru zako za kumvetsa zinthu.
Pa ntchito zako zonse uzivomera kuti kuli Mulungu, choncho njira zako Iye adzazilungamitsa.
Ndimakweza maso anga ku mapiri. Kodi chithandizo changa chimachokera kuti?
Chithandizo changa nchochokera kwa Chauta, amene adalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
Tilimbikire kuvomereza mosafookera zimene timaziyembekeza, pakuti Iye amene adatilonjeza zimenezi ngwokhulupirika.
Tizikumbukirana kuti tilimbikitsane kukondana ndi kuchita ntchito zabwino.
Tisamakhalakhala ku misonkhano yathu, monga adazoloŵera ena, koma ife tizilimbitsana mtima, makamaka poona kuti tsiku la Ambuye likuyandikira.
Koma amene amakhulupirira Chauta adzalandira mphamvu zatsopano, adzauluka ngati ziwombankhanga. Adzathamanga koma osatopa, adzayenda koma osalefuka konse.
