MAVESI OLIMBIKITSA NDI CHILIMBIKITSO

Mulungu sanakuiwale ayi, limbikani mtima. Ambuye akulamulira zonse zomwe mukukumana nazo. Ngati mukumva chisoni, pempherani kwa Mulungu ndipo adzakudzazani ndi chimwemwe. Ngati muli ndi nkhawa, perekani mavuto anu kwa Atate wanu wakumwamba ndipo adzawatengera.

Mulungu adzayankha mapemphero anu pa nthawi yake, choncho limbikani mtima. Mulungu amanena m'mawu ake kuti mulimbike mtima ndi kukhala olimba mtima chifukwa ali nanu kulikonse kumene mungapite. Ngakhale mutayenda m'chigwa cha mthunzi wa imfa, musachite mantha chifukwa Ambuye ali nanu.

Khulupirirani Atate wanu wakumwamba, ngakhale simungamuone, akugwira ntchito m'malo mwanu chifukwa amakukondani. Limbikani mtima ndi kukhala olimba mtima, nonsenu amene muyembekezera Ambuye (Masalimo 31:24). Simuli nokha, lolani Mulungu amene akulimbanirane nkhondo zanu!

Khalani pamapazi a Yesu ndipo mudzapeza mtendere, kuunika ndi chitsogozo pa moyo wanu. Musataye chikhulupiriro chanu chifukwa mavuto a wolungama angakhale ochuluka, koma Ambuye adzamupulumutsa ku onsewo ndipo adzamupatsa chigonjetso pa chilichonse.

Koma nthaŵi yomweyo Yesu adaŵauza kuti, “Khazikani mtima pansi, ndine; musaope.”

Khalani amphamvu ndiponso mulimbe mtima. Musaŵaope anthu ameneŵa, musachite nawo mantha, chifukwa Chauta, Mulungu wanu, adzakhala nanu. Sadzalola kuti mulephere, ndipo sadzakusiyani.

Usaŵaope, Ine ndili nawe, ndidzakupulumutsa,” akuterotu Chauta.

Koma amene amakhulupirira Chauta adzalandira mphamvu zatsopano, adzauluka ngati ziwombankhanga. Adzathamanga koma osatopa, adzayenda koma osalefuka konse.

Khalani amphamvu ndipo mulimbe mtima, inu nonse okhulupirira Chauta.

Onsewotu atamuwona adaaopsedwa. Koma nthaŵi yomweyo Yesu adaŵauza kuti, “Khazikani mtima pansi, ndine, musaope.”

Kumeneko anthu ena adabwera kwa Iye ndi munthu wa ziwalo zakufa ali chigonere pa machira. Poona chikhulupiriro chao, Yesu adauza munthu wa ziwalo zakufayo kuti, “Limba mtima, mwana wanga, machimo ako akhululukidwa.”

Yesu adaŵayang'ana nati, “Kwa anthu zimenezi nzosatheka, koma zonse nzotheka ndi Mulungu.”

Ndingathe kuchita zonse chifukwa Khristu amandipatsa mphamvu.

“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.”

Yesu adati, “Bwanji mukuti, ‘Ngati mungathe?’ Zinthu zonse nzotheka kwa amene ali ndi chikhulupiriro.”

Tsiku lomwelo, usiku, Ambuye adadzaima pafupi ndi Paulo namuuza kuti, “Limba mtima. Monga wandichitira umboni kuno ku Yerusalemu, uyenera kukandichitiranso umboni ku Roma.”

Pamenepo Yesu adacheuka, naona maiyo, ndipo adati, “Limbani mtima mai, chikhulupiriro chanu chakuchiritsani.” Nthaŵi yomweyo mai uja adachiradi.

Yesu adauza ophunzira akewo kuti “Mtima wanu usavutike. Khulupirirani Mulungu, khulupirirani Inenso.

Usachite mantha chifukwa Ine ndili nawe, usataye mtima, poti Ine ndine Mulungu wako. Ndidzakupatsa mphamvu, ndidzakuthandiza, ndidzakutchinjiriza ndi dzanja langa lamanja logonjetsa.

Paja ndidakulamula kuti ukhale wamphamvu. Usamaopa kapena kutaya mtima, poti Ine, Chauta, Mulungu wako, ndidzakhala nawe kulikonse kumene udzapite.”

Chauta mwini wake adzakutsogolera, ndipo adzakhala nawe. Sadzalola kuti ulephere, ndipo sadzakusiya. Motero usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima.”

Ngati mukhala mwa Ine, ndipo mau anga akhala mwa inu, mupemphe chilichonse chimene mungachifune, ndipo mudzachilandiradi.

Chauta amakhala pafupi ndi anthu a mtima wosweka, amapulumutsa otaya mtima.

Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja, ndidzakhala nawe, pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje, siidzakukokolola. Pamene ukudutsa pa moto sudzapsa, malaŵi ake sadzakutentha.

Nanga tsono tinganenenso chiyani pa zonsezi? Ngati Mulungu ali pa mbali yathu, angatsutsane nafe ndani?

“Bwerani kwa Ine, inu nonse otopa ndi olemedwa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani mpumulo.

“Ndikukusiyirani mtendere. Ndikukupatsani mtendere wanga. Sindikukupatsani mtenderewo monga m'mene dziko lino lapansi limapatsira ai. Mtima wanu usavutike kapena kuda nkhaŵa.

Ndikutamanda Chauta amene ali phungu wanga. Mtima wanga umandilangiza ndi usiku womwe. Nthaŵi zonse ndimalingalira za Chauta. Popeza kuti ali ku dzanja langa lamanja, palibe amene angandiopse konse.

Mulungu ndiye kothaŵira kwathu, ndiye mphamvu zathu. Ali wokonzekeratu kutithandiza pa nthaŵi yamavuto. “Khalani chete, ndipo mudziŵe kuti ndine Mulungu. Mitundu ya anthu imanditamanda, a m'dziko lapansi amandiyamika.” Chauta Wamphamvuzonse ali nafe, Mulungu wa Yakobe ndiye kothaŵira kwathu. Nchifukwa chake sitidzaopa ngakhale dziko lapansi lisinthike, ngakhale mapiri agwe pakati pa nyanja zozama, ngakhale nyanja zikokome ndi kututuma. Ngakhale mapiri anjenjemere ndi kulindima kwa nyanja.

Chauta ndiye amene amakusunga, Chauta ndiye mtetezi wako ali ku dzanja lako lamanja. Dzuŵa silidzakupweteka masana, mwezi sudzakuvuta usiku. Chauta adzakuteteza ku zoipa zonse, adzasamala moyo wako. Chauta adzakusunga kulikonse kumene udzapita, kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.

Tulani pa Iye nkhaŵa zanu zonse, popeza kuti Iye ndiye amakusamalirani.

Ndakuuzani zimenezi kuti mukhale nawo mtendere pakukhulupirira Ine. M'dziko lapansi mudzaona masautso, koma limbikani, Ine ndagonjetsa mphamvu zoipa za dziko lapansi.”

Chauta ndiye adzakhale chikhulupiriro chako, adzasunga phazi lako kuti lingakodwe.

Chauta ndi wabwino, ndiye kothaŵira pa nthaŵi yamavuto. Amasamala onse amene amadalira Iye.

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.

Ndili nawe, ndidzakutchinjiriza kulikonse kumene udzapite, ndipo ndidzakubwezanso ku dziko lino. Sindidzakusiya mpaka nditachita zonse ndakuuzazi.”

“Koma ndi wodala munthu wokhulupirira Chauta, amene amagonera pa Chautayo. Adzakhala ngati mtengo wobzalidwa m'mphepete mwa mtsinje, umene umatambalitsa mizu yake m'mbali mwa madzi. Suwopa kukamatentha, chifukwa masamba ake safota. Pa chaka chachilala sukuda nkhaŵa, ndipo suleka kubala zipatso.”

Yang'anani kumlengalenga. Kodi ndani adalenga nyenyezi mukuziwonazi? Ndiye amene amazitsogolera ngati gulu lankhondo, ndipo iliyonse amaiitana ndi dzina lake. Popeza kuti nyonga ndi mphamvu zake nzazikulu. Palibe ndi imodzi yomwe imene imasoŵapo.

Mulungu amene amatipatsa chikhulupiriro, adzaze mitima yanu ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere pakumvera Iye, kuti chiyembekezo chanu chizikulirakulira ndi mphamvu za Mzimu Woyera.

Pajatu palibe kanthu kosatheka ndi Mulungu.”

Paja Mzimu amene Mulungu adatipatsa, si Mzimu wotipatsa mtima wa mantha ai, koma Mzimu wotipatsa mphamvu, chikondi ndi kudzigwira.

“Ndinu odala anthu akamakunyozani, kukuzunzani ndi kukunyengezerani zoipa zamitundumitundu chifukwa cha Ine. Sangalalani, kondwerani, chifukwa mphotho yanu ndi yaikulu Kumwamba. Paja ndi m'menenso anthu ankazunzira aneneri amene analipo kale inu musanabadwe.

Chauta Wamphamvuzonse ali nafe. Mulungu wa Yakobe ndiye kothaŵira kwathu.

Ngakhale achinyamata amalefuka ndi kufooka, ngakhale anyamata amaphunthwa ndi kugwa. Koma amene amakhulupirira Chauta adzalandira mphamvu zatsopano, adzauluka ngati ziwombankhanga. Adzathamanga koma osatopa, adzayenda koma osalefuka konse.

Mukadzapita kukamenyana ndi adani anu, ngati muwona kuti magaleta ao ngochuluka kuposa anu, ngamira zao ndi zochulukanso, ndipo ngakhale ankhondo ao omwe ngokuposani, musakaŵaope. Chauta, Mulungu wanu, amene adakupulumutsani ku Ejipito, adzakhala nanu.

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 amatsogolera mayendedwe a munthu wolungama, amatchinjiriza amene njira zake zimakomera Iye. Ngakhale agwe sadzapweteka, popeza kuti Chauta amamgwira dzanja.

Anthu amene amafesa akulira, adzakolola akufuula ndi chimwemwe.

Ndipo Chauta adauza Yoswa kuti, “Usaŵaope anthu amenewo. Ndaŵapereka kale kwa iwe kuti uŵagonjetse. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa iwo amene adzatha kulimbika.”

Mulungu ndiye kothaŵira kwathu, ndiye mphamvu zathu. Ali wokonzekeratu kutithandiza pa nthaŵi yamavuto.

Chauta ndiye muuni wanga ndi chipulumutso changa. Ndidzaopa yani? Chauta ndiye linga la moyo wanga, nanga ndichitirenji mantha?

Tisatope nkuchita zabwino, chifukwa pa nthaŵi yake tidzakolola, ngati sitilefuka.

Mtima wanu usakangamire pa ndalama, ndipo zimene muli nazo, mukhutire nazo. Paja Mulungu adati, “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani konse.” Tiyeni tsono tilimbe mtima ndi kunena kuti, “Ambuye ndiwo Mthandizi wanga, sindidzachita mantha. Munthu angandichite chiyani?”

Akadzandiitana, ndidzamuyankha, ndidzakhala naye pa nthaŵi yamavuto. Ndidzamlanditsa ndi kumlemekeza.

Pa tsiku limene ndidakuitanani, Inu mudandiyankha, mumandilimbitsa mtima ndi mphamvu zanu.

Mkwiyo wake ndi wa kanthaŵi chabe, koma kukoma mtima kwake nkwa moyo wonse. Misozi ingachezere kugwa usiku, m'maŵa kumabwera chimwemwe chokhachokha.

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.

Nchifukwa chake sititaya mtima. Ngakhale thupi lathu likunka lifookerafookera, komabe mu mtima tikulandira mphamvu yatsopano tsiku ndi tsiku. Masautso athu ndi opepuka, a nthaŵi yochepa, komabe akutitengera ulemerero umene uli waukulu kopambana, ndiponso wamuyaya. Mitima yathu siili pa zinthu zooneka, koma pa zinthu zosaoneka. Paja zooneka nzosakhalitsa, koma zosaoneka ndiye zamuyaya.

Mtima wanga umakhala chete kuyembekezera Mulungu yekha, pakuti chipulumutso changa chimafumira kwa Iye. Musakhulupirire kuti zachiwawa zingakuthandizeni. Musaganize kuti kuba kungakupindulitseni. Chuma chikachuluka musaikepo mtima. Mulungu adalankhula kamodzi, ine ndaphunzirapo zinthu ziŵiri, china ndi chakuti mphamvu ndi zanu, Inu Mulungu, chikondi chanu nchosasinthika, Inu Ambuye; china ndi chakuti Inu mumabwezera munthu molingana ndi ntchito zake. Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa, chipulumutso changa, ndi linga langa. Sindidzagwedezeka konse.

Muzifunafuna za Kumwamba, osati zapansipano.

Khalani okondwa nthaŵi zonse. Muzipemphera kosalekeza. Muzithokoza Mulungu pa zonse. Paja zimene Mulungu amafuna kuti muzichita mwa Khristu Yesu nzimenezi.

Pamene ndichita mantha ndimadalira Inu. Ndimatamanda Mulungu chifukwa cha zimene wandilonjeza. Ndimakhulupirira Mulungu mopanda mantha. Kodi munthu angandichite chiyani?

Mtima wosangalala umakhala ngati mankhwala abwino, koma mtima woziya umaumitsa thupi.

Inu Chauta, mumapatsa mtendere weniweni kwa amene ali ndi mtima wokhazikika, chifukwa chokhulupirira Inu.

Sindikayika konse kuti Mulungu, amene adayamba kuchita ntchito yabwinoyi mwa inu, adzaipitiriza mpaka itatsirizika pa Tsiku la Kubweranso kwa Khristu Yesu.

Lero ndiye tsiku limene Chauta adalipanga. Tiyeni tikondwe ndi kusangalala pa tsiku limeneli.

Koma si pokhapo ai, timakondweranso m'masautso athu. Pakuti tikudziŵa kuti masautso amaphunzitsa munthu kupirira, kupirira kumabweretsa makhalidwe ovomerezedwa ndi Mulungu, ndipo makhalidwe ovomerezedwawo amabweretsa chiyembekezo. Chiyembekezo chimenechi munthu sichingamugwiritse fuwa lamoto ai, pakuti Mulungu mwa Mzimu Woyera amene Iye adatipatsa, adadzaza mitima yathu ndi chikondi chake.

Tilimbikire kuvomereza mosafookera zimene timaziyembekeza, pakuti Iye amene adatilonjeza zimenezi ngwokhulupirika.

Abale anga, muzikondwa ndithu mukamayesedwa ndi mavuto amitundumitundu. Paja munthu wokwiya safikapo pa chilungamo chimene amafuna Mulungu. Nchifukwa chake siyani chizoloŵezi chilichonse chonyansa, ndiponso kuipamtima kulikonse. Muŵalandire mofatsa mau amene Mulungu adabzala m'mitima mwanu, pakuti ndiwo angathe kukupulumutsani. Musamadzinyenga pakungomva chabe mau a Mulungu, koma muzichita zimene mauwo anena. Paja munthu amene amangomva chabe mau, osachita zimene wamvazo, ali ngati munthu woyang'anira nkhope yake yachibadwa m'galasi. Tsono amati akadzipenya, amachokapo, posachedwa nkuiŵalako m'mene akuwonekera. Malamulo a Mulungu ndi angwiro ndiponso opatsa anthu ufulu. Munthu amene amalandira Malamulowo nkumaŵatsata mosamala, amene samangomva mau nkuŵaiŵala, koma amaŵagwiritsa ntchito, ameneyo Mulungu adzamdalitsa pa zochita zake zonse. Ngati wina akudziyesa woika mtima pa zopembedza Mulungu, koma nkukhala wosasunga pakamwa, chipembedzo chakecho nchopanda pake, ndipo amangodzinyenga. Chipembedzo choona ndi changwiro pamaso pa Mulungu amene ali Atate, ndi ichi: kusamalira ana amasiye ndi akazi amasiye pa mavuto ao, ndiponso kudzisunga bwino, kuwopa kudetsedwa ndi zoipa za m'dziko lapansi. Paja mukudziŵa kuti mukamayesedwa m'chikhulupiriro chanu, mumasanduka olimbika. Koma kulimbika kumeneku kuzigwira ntchito yake kotheratu, kuti mukhale angwiro, opanda chilema ndi osapereŵera pa kanthu kalikonse.

Pemphero kwa Mulungu
