113 Mauthenga a Baibulo Okhudza Chikondwerero cha Isitala
Nthawi ya chikondwerero cha carnival yafika, ndipo ine ndikudziwa kuti ambiri a ife timakhala ndi chisangalalo pankhaniyi. Komabe, monga okhulupirira, ndikofunikira kuti tiganizire mozama za momwe timachitira zinthu panthawiyi. Baibulo[a] limatilimbikitsa kuti tizitsatira malamulo ndi malangizo a Mulungu, ndipo tiyenera kudzifunsa ngati zochita zathu pa carnival zikugwirizana ndi zimenezi.
Carnival nthawi zambiri imakhala ndi zinthu zambiri zosayenera, monga kuledzera, kuchita zinthu mopitirira muyeso, ndi kusangalala ndi zinthu za dziko lapansi. Koma Mulungu amatiitana kuti tikhale kuwala m’dziko lodzaza ndi mdima. Tiyenera kukumbukira kuti moyo wa padziko lapansi ndi waufupi, ndipo chimwemwe chenicheni chimapezeka mwa Mulungu, osati m’zisangalalo za kanthawi kochepa.
M’malo mofunafuna chisangalalo chosatha cha carnival, tingachite bwino kufunafuna mtendere ndi chimwemwe chokhazikika chimene Mulungu yekha angatipatse. Tiyeneranso kuganizira mmene zochita zathu zingakhudzire ena, makamaka achinyamata omwe angatsanzire zinthu zoipa. Tiyenera kukhala chitsanzo chabwino kwa iwo ndi kuwasonyeza kuti moyo wachikhristu ndi wabwino.
Kuganizira za carnival mogwirizana ndi zimene Baibulo[a] limanena kungatithandize kudziyesa tokha. Kodi zochita zathu pa carnival zikulemekeza Mulungu? Kodi tikufunafuna ulemerero wake nthawi zonse? Aliyense wa ife ali ndi udindo wosankha zinthu zimene zimakondweretsa Mulungu ndi kusonyeza makhalidwe ake abwino.
[a] Baibulo Lopatulika
Zikondwerero zanu za pokhala mwezi ndi masiku anu oyera ndimadana nazo. Zasanduka katundu wondilemera, ndatopa nako kuŵapirira.
Tsono, kaya mulikudya, kaya mulikumwa, kaya mukuchita chilichonse, muzichita zonse kuti mulemekeze Mulungu.
Musabwere nazonso nsembe zanu zachabechabe. Utsi wake umandinyansa. Sindingapirire misonkhano yanu yamapemphero, kapenanso zikondwerero za pokhala mwezi ndi za Sabata, sindingapirire mapemphero oipitsidwa ndi machimo.
Musamalikonde dziko lapansi kapena zinthu zapansipano. Munthu akamakonda dziko lapansi, chikondi chokonda Atate sichikhalamo mwa iye. Paja zonse zapansipano, zilakolako zathupi, zinthu zimene maso amakhumbira, ndiponso kunyadira za moyo uno, zonsezi sizichokera kwa Atate, koma ku mkhalidwe woipa wa dziko lapansi. Ndipotu dziko lapansi likupita, pamodzi ndi zake zonse zimene anthu amazilakalaka. Koma munthu wochita zimene Mulungu afuna, amakhalapo mpaka muyaya.
Musadzapembedze Chauta, Mulungu wanu, mofanafana ndi m'mene iwo amapembedzera milungu yaoyo. Iwo adachita zoipa zoopsa zambiri zimene Chauta amadana nazo, mpaka kutentha ana ao aamuna ndi aakazi pa moto pakuŵapereka kwa milungu yao.
Ndidzathetsa chimwemwe chake chonse, zikondwerero zake za pokhala mwezi, za masabata ndi za masiku ena onse opatulika.
Anthuwo adapereka ngati nsembe ana ao aamuna ndi ana ao aakazi, ndipo ankaombeza maula, namachitanso zanyanga. Adadzipereka kuti azichita zoipa zochimwira Chauta, namkwiyitsa.
Kodi simudziŵa kuti thupi lanu ndi nyumba ya Mzimu Woyera? Mulungu adakupatsani Mzimuyo kuti akhale mwa inu. Nchifukwa chake moyo umene muli nawo si wanunso. Kodi simukudziŵa kuti akhristu ndiwo adzaweruza anthu onse? Tsono ngati inu mudzaweruza anthu onse, kodi simungathe kuweruza ngakhale ndi timilandu tating'ono tomwe? Mulungu adakugulani ndi mtengo wapatali, tsono muzimlemekeza ndi matupi anu.
Mayendedwe athu akhale oyenera, ngati a anthu oyenda usana. Pasakhale dyera kapena kuledzera, dama kapena zonyansa, ndeu kapena nsanje. Ambuye Yesu Khristu mwini akhale chida chanu chankhondo. Lekani mtima wofunafuna zosangalatsa thupi, musagonjere zilakolako zake zoipa.
Tsono m'dzina la Ambuye ndikukuuzani, ndipo ndikunenetsa, kuti musayendenso monga amachitira akunja potsata maganizo ao achabe. Nzeru zao zidachita chidima, sangalandire nao konse moyo wa Mulungu chifukwa cha umbuli umene udadza mwa iwo kaamba ka kuuma mtima kwao. Mitima yao idaludzulala ndipo adangodzipereka ku zonyansa, kuti azichita zoipa zilizonse mosadziletsa.
Adzachuluka ngati nkhosa za ku Yerusalemu zimene ankazipereka kale ku nsembe pa nthaŵi ya chikondwerero. Motero mizinda yao yamabwinja ija idzadzazadi ndi magulu a anthu, ndipo iwowo adzadziŵa kuti Ine ndine Chauta.”
Musamagwirizana ndi anthu akunja, monga ngati kuti iwo ndi inu mumafanana. Nanga kulungama kungagwirizane bwanji ndi kusalungama? Kapena kuŵala kungayanjane bwanji ndi mdima? Kodi Khristu nkuvomerezana ndi Satana? Kodi mkhristu ndi mkunja angagaŵanenso chiyani pamodzi? Kodi Nyumba ya Mulungu nkufanana bwanji ndi mafano? Pajatu ife ndife Nyumba ya Mulungu wamoyo, monga Mulungu mwini adanena kuti, “Ndidzakhazikika mwa iwo, ndi kukhala nawo. Ndidzakhala Mulungu wao, iwo adzakhala anthu angaanga.” Nchifukwa chake Ambuye akuti, “Tulukani pakati pao, ndi kudzipatula. Musakhudze kanthu kosayera, ndipo ndidzakulandirani.
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.
Koma monga Iye amene adakuitanani ali woyera mtima, inunso khalani oyera mtima m'makhalidwe anu onse. Paja mau a Mulungu akuti, “Muzikhala oyera mtima popeza kuti Ineyo ndine woyera mtima.”
Nzeru zotere si zochokera Kumwamba, koma ndi nzapansipano, ndi za anthu chabe, ndiponso nzochokera ku mizimu yoipa.
Paja zonse zapansipano, zilakolako zathupi, zinthu zimene maso amakhumbira, ndiponso kunyadira za moyo uno, zonsezi sizichokera kwa Atate, koma ku mkhalidwe woipa wa dziko lapansi.
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. Chifukwa cha zinthu zotere Mulungu amaŵakwiyira anthu osamumvera.
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.
Tsono abale, popeza kuti Mulungu watichitira chifundo chachikulu chotere, ndikukupemphani kuti mupereke matupi anu omwe kuti akhale nsembe yamoyo, yopatulika, ndi yokondwetsa Mulungu. Imeneyi ikhale njira yanu yopembedzera Mulungu mwauzimu. Muzikondana kwenikweni monga abale, ndipo muzichita ngati kupikisana poonetsana ulemu. Potumikira Ambuye, changu chanu chisazilale, koma chikhalebe choyaka. Muzikhala okondwa chifukwa cha chiyembekezo chanu. Muzipirira pakati pa masautso, ndipo muzipemphera nthaŵi zonse. Muzipereka zothandiza akhristu anzanu osoŵa, ndipo muziyesetsa kulandira alendo mokondwa. Pemphani Mulungu kuti aŵadalitse amene amakuzunzani. Ndithu, pemphani kuti aŵadalitse, osaŵatemberera ai. Muzikondwa nawo amene akukondwa, muzilira nawo amene akulira. Muzimvana bwino, ndipo musamadzikweze, koma muziyanjana nawo anthu wamba. Musamadziyese anzeru. Munthu akakuchitani choipa, musamubwezere choipa. Yesani kuchita zimene anthu onse amaziwona kuti nzabwino. Ngati nkotheka, khalani ndi mtendere ndi anthu onse, monga momwe mungathere. Okondedwa anga, musabwezere choipa, koma alekeni, mkwiyo wa Mulungu ndiwo uŵalange. Paja Malembo akuti, “Kulipsira nkwanga. Ndidzaŵalanga ndine, akutero Chauta.” Musamatsanzira makhalidwe a anthu odalira zapansipano, koma Mulungu asinthe moyo wanu wonse pakukupatsani mitima yatsopano. Pamenepo mudzatha kudziŵa zimene Mulungu afuna, ndipo mudzazindikira zimene zili zabwino, zangwiro ndi zomkondwetsa.
Anthu omvera khalidwe loipalo, amaika mtima pa zilakolako zathupi. Koma anthu omvera Mzimu Woyera, amaika mtima pa zimene Mzimu Woyerayo afuna.
Munthu wongodalira zilakolako zake zokha, chimene adzakolole ndi imfa. Koma munthu wodalira Mzimu Woyera, chimene adzakolole ndi moyo wosatha.
Koma ndidaakulemberani kuti musamayanjane ndi munthu amene amati ndi mkhristu, pamene chikhalirecho ndi munthu wadama, kapena waumbombo, wopembedza mafano, waugogodi, chidakwa, kapena wachifwamba. Munthu wotere musamadye naye nkomwe.
Chimene ndikufuna kunena ndi ichi: Mulole Mzimu Woyera kuti azikutsogolerani. Mukatero, pamenepo simudzachita zimene khalidwe lanu lokonda zoipa limalakalaka.
Inu anthu osakhulupirikanu, kodi simudziŵa kuti kuchita chibwenzi ndi zapansipano nkudana ndi Mulungu? Choncho munthu wofuna kukhala bwenzi la zapansipano, ameneyo amadzisandutsa mdani wa Mulungu.
Ambuye Yesu Khristu mwini akhale chida chanu chankhondo. Lekani mtima wofunafuna zosangalatsa thupi, musagonjere zilakolako zake zoipa.
Ngwodala munthu wosatsata uphungu wa anthu oipa, wosatsanzira mayendedwe a anthu ochimwa, wosakhala nawo m'gulu la anthu onyoza Mulungu, koma wokondwerera kumvera malamulo a Chauta, nkumasinkhasinkha za malamulowo usana ndi usiku.
Kuika mtima pa khalidwe lopendekera ku zoipa, ndi imfa yomwe, koma kuika mtima pa zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna, kumabweretsa moyo ndi mtendere.
Anthu okhuta vinyo amanyodola anzao, omwa zaukali amautsa phokoso. Aliyense wosokera nazo zimenezi ndi wopanda nzeru.
Popeza kuti ndinu anthu a Mulungu, ndiye kuti dama kapena zonyansa, kapena masiriro oipa zisatchulidwe nkomwe pakati panu. Amatero chifukwa Mpingowo ndi thupi lake, ndipo ife ndife ziwalo zake. Paja mau a Mulungu akuti, “Nchifukwa chake mwamuna adzasiye atate ndi amai ake, nkukaphatikizana ndi mkazi wake, kuti aŵiriwo asanduke thupi limodzi.” Mau ameneŵa akutiwululira chinsinsi chozama, ndipo ndikuti chinsinsicho nchokhudza Khristu ndi Mpingo. Komabe akunenanso za inu, kuti mwamuna aliyense azikonda mkazi wake monga momwe amadzikondera iye mwini, ndiponso kuti mkazi aliyense azilemekeza mwamuna wake. Ndiponso musamalankhule zolaula, zopusa, kapena zopandapake, koma muzilankhula zoyamika Mulungu. Mudziŵe ichi, kuti munthu aliyense wadama, kapena wochita zonyansa, kapena wa masiriro oipa (pakuti wa masiriro oipa ali ngati wopembedza fano) sadzaloŵa nao mu Ufumu wa Khristu ndi wa Mulungu.
Chimene Mulungu akufuna ndi ichi: mukhale oyera mtima, ndiye kuti muzipewa dama. Aliyense mwa inu adziŵe kulamula thupi lake, pakulilemekeza ndi kulisunga bwino, osalidetsa. Musamangotsata zilakolako zonyansa, monga amachitira akunja, amene sadziŵa Mulungu.
Paja kale mudakhala mukutaya nthaŵi yochuluka pakuchita zinthu zimene akunja amazikonda. Munkatsata zonyansa, zilakolako zoipa, kuledzera, dyera, maphokoso apamoŵa, ndi kupembedza mafano konyansa. Anthu akunja amadabwa tsopano poona kuti mwaleka kuthamangira nao zoipitsitsa zimene iwo amachita mosadziletsa konse. Nchifukwa chake amalalata.
Tsono zimene zidachitikazi ndi zitsanzo zotichenjeza ife, kuti tisamasirira zoipa monga adaachitira iwowo. Tisakhale opembedza mafano, monga analiri ena mwa iwo. Paja Malembo akuti, “Anthu adakhala pansi kuti adye ndi kumwa, kenaka nkuimirira kuti azivina.” Tisachite dama monga momwe adaachitira ena mwa iwo: paja pa tsiku limodzi adafa anthu zikwi makumi aŵiri ndi zitatu.
Woyenda ndi anthu anzeru nayenso amakhala ndi nzeru, koma woyenda ndi zitsiru adzaonongeka.
Nchifukwa chake Mulungu adaŵasiya kuti azingochita zonyansa zimene mitima yao inkalakalaka, mpaka kunyazitsa matupi ao. Adasiya zoona za Mulungu namatsata zabodza. Adayamba kupembedza ndi kutumikira zolengedwa m'malo mwa kupembedza ndi kutumikira Mlengi mwini, amene ali woyenera kumlemekeza mpaka muyaya. Amen.
Potsiriza, abale, muziika mtima pa zilizonse zabwino kwambiri ndi zotamandika, monga izi: zinthu zoona ndi zolemekezeka, zinthu zolungama, zoyera, zokongola, ndi zaulemu.
Letsani maso anga kuti asamayang'ane zachabe, mundipatse moyo monga momwe mudalonjezera.
Usakhale pakati pa anthu amene amaledzera, kapena pakati pa anthu odya nyama mwadyera. Paja chidakwa ndi munthu wadyera adzasanduka amphaŵi, ndipo munthu waulesi adzasanduka mvalansanza.
“Inu ndinu kuŵala kounikira anthu onse. Mudzi wokhala pamwamba pa phiri sungabisike. Munthu sati akayatsa nyale, nkuivundikira ndi mbiya. Koma amaiika pa malo oonekera, ndipo imaunikira anthu onse amene ali m'nyumbamo. Chomwechonso inuyo muziwonetsa kuŵala kwanu pamaso pa anthu, kuti ataona ntchito zanu zabwino azilemekeza Atate anu akumwamba.
Uthaŵe zilakolako zoipa zachinyamata. Pamodzi ndi anthu onse otama Ambuye mopemba ndi mtima woyera, uzifunafuna chilungamo, chikhulupiriro, chikondi ndi mtendere.
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.
M'kamwa mwanu musatuluke mau aliwonse oipa, koma muzinena mau okhaokha abwino ndi olimbitsa mtima monga kungafunikire, kuti mupindulitse anzanu omva mau anuwo.
Nchifukwa chake siyani chizoloŵezi chilichonse chonyansa, ndiponso kuipamtima kulikonse. Muŵalandire mofatsa mau amene Mulungu adabzala m'mitima mwanu, pakuti ndiwo angathe kukupulumutsani.
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.
Choncho ngati munthu ali mwa Khristu, ngwolengedwa kwatsopano. Zakale zapita, zimene zilipo nzatsopano.
Khalani odziletsa, khalani maso. Mdani wanu Satana amakhala akuyenda uku ndi uku ngati mkango wobangula, kufunafuna woti amudye.
Koma tikamavomera kuti ndife ochimwa, Mulungu amene ali wokhulupirika ndi wolungama, adzatikhululukira machimo athuwo. Adzatiyeretsa ndi kutichotsera kusalungama kwathu konse.
Kodi inu simudziŵa kuti ndinu nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo kuti Mzimu wa Mulungu amakhala mwa inu? Ngati wina aliyense aononga nyumba ya Mulunguyo, Mulungu nayenso adzamuwononga ameneyo. Pakuti nyumba ya Mulungu ndi yopatulika, ndipo nyumbayo ndinu amene.
Sindidzaika maso anga pa chinthu chilichonse chachabechabe. Ndimadana ndi zochita za anthu okusiyani, sizindikomera konse.
Tsoka kwa amene amadzuka m'mamaŵa nathamangira chakumwa choledzeretsa, amene amamwa mpaka usiku kufikira ataledzera kotheratu.
Zinthu zonse nzololedwa kwa ine, koma si zonse zili ndi phindu. Zonse nzololedwadi kwa ine, koma sindingalole kuti chilichonse chindigonjetse.
Usiku uli pafupi kutha, ndipo mbandakucha wayandikira. Tiyeni tsono tileke ntchito za mdima, tivale zida zomenyera nkhondo kutayera. Mayendedwe athu akhale oyenera, ngati a anthu oyenda usana. Pasakhale dyera kapena kuledzera, dama kapena zonyansa, ndeu kapena nsanje. Ambuye Yesu Khristu mwini akhale chida chanu chankhondo. Lekani mtima wofunafuna zosangalatsa thupi, musagonjere zilakolako zake zoipa.
Mulungu mwa mphamvu zake adatipatsa zonse zotithandiza kukhala ndi moyo ndiponso opembedza, pakutidziŵitsa za Iyeyo amene adatiitana ku ulemerero ndi ubwino wake woposa. Mwa ulemerero ndi ubwino wakewo adatipatsa madalitso aakulu ndi amtengowapatali amene Iye adatilonjeza. Adatero kuti mulandireko moyo wake wa Mulungu, mutapulumuka ku chivunde chimene chili pa dziko lapansi chifukwa cha zilakolako zoipa.
Popeza kuti ponse pozungulira pali mboni zambirimbiri chotere, tiyeni tichotse kalikonse kotichedwetsa, makamaka tchimo limene limatikangamira, ndipo tithamange ndi khama mpikisano umene tayambawu. Azibambo athu apansipanowo ankatilanga pa kanthaŵi kochepa kokha, akazindikira kuti nkofunika. Koma Mulungu amatilanga kuti tipindulepo, ndipo tilandireko kuyera mtima kwake. Pamene munthu akulandira chilango, kwa iye chilangocho chimaoneka ngati chinthu chomvetsa chisoni, ndi chosakondweretsa. Koma anthu amene adaleredwa mwa njira imeneyi, pambuyo pake amapata mtendere umene uli chipatso cha moyo wolungama. Limbitsani tsono manja anu ofooka ndiponso maondo anu agooka. Muziyenda m'njira zoongoka, kuti miyendo yopunduka isagweduke, koma ichiritsidwe. Yesetsani kukhala ndi mtendere ndi anthu onse, ndi kukhala oyera mtima, pakuti palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzaona Ambuye popanda kuyera mtimako. Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asabwerere m'mbuyo nkutaya madalitso a Mulungu. Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asakhale ngati muzu woŵaŵa, umene umaphuka nkuvuta ena ambiri ndi ululu wake. 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. Inu simudachite monga Aisraele aja, amene adaafika ku chinthu chimene adaatha kuchikhudza, ndiye kuti ku Phiri la Sinai, lija linali loyaka moto, lamdima wa bii, la mphepo yamkuntho; limene panali kulira kwa lipenga, ndiponso kumveka kwa mau. Anthu atamva mauwo, adaapempha kuti asaŵamvenso konse, Maso athu azipenyetsetsa Yesu amene ali woyambitsa chikhulupiriro chathu, ndiponso wochifikitsa pake penipeni. Chifukwa cha chimwemwe chimene chinkamudikira, Iyeyo adapirira zoŵaŵa zapamtanda. Adaŵanyoza manyazi a imfa yotere, ndipo tsopano akukhala ku dzanja lamanja la mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu.
Ndidapachikidwa pa mtanda pamodzi ndi Khristu, kotero kuti sindinenso amene ndili ndi moyo, koma ndi Khristu amene ali ndi moyo mwa ine. Moyo umene ndili nawo tsopano m'thupi lino, ndi moyo wokhulupirira Mwana wa Mulungu, amene adandikonda napereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ine.
Okondedwa anga, popeza kuti ndinu alendo pansi pano, ndikukupemphani kuti musagonjere zilakolako zathupi zimene zimachita nkhondo ndi mzimu wanu.
Munthu akamati amakhala mwa Mulungu, zochita zake zizilingana ndi zimene Yesu ankachita.
Si chinthu choloŵa m'kamwa mwa munthu chimene chimamuipitsa ai, koma chotuluka m'kamwa mwake ndiye chimene chimamuipitsa.”
Usafulumire kumsanjika manja munthu, ndipo usavomerezane ndi anthu ena pa uchimo wao. Iwe usunge bwino kuyera mtima kwako.
Usayende m'njira za anthu oipa, usatsate m'mapazi mwa anthu ochimwa. Njira zao uzipewe, usapitemo konse. Uzilambalale, ndi kungozipitirira.
Valani zida zonse zimene Mulungu akupatsani, kuti muthe kulimbika polimbana ndi ndale za Satana. Paja sitikulimbana ndi anthu chabetu ai. Tikulimbana ndi maufumu, aulamuliro ndi mphamvu za dziko lino lapansi lamdima, ndiponso ndi mizimu yoipa yamumlengalenga.
Nchifukwa chake tsono tisagone tulo monga momwe amachitira anthu ena, ife tikhale maso, tikhale osaledzera. Anthu ogona tulo, amagona usiku, anthu oledzera amaledzera usiku. Koma ife, popeza kuti zathu nzausana, tisamaledzera. Tikhale titavala chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi ngati chovala chachitsulo chapachifuwa. Ndipo ngati chisoti choteteza kumutu tivale chiyembekezo chakuti tidzapulumuka.
Fufuzeni, Inu Mulungu, kuti mudziŵe mtima wanga. Yeseni kuti mudziŵe maganizo anga. Muwone ngati ndimatsata njira yoipa iliyonse, ndipo munditsogolere m'njira yanu yamuyaya.
Monga inu simudziŵa kuti pa mpikisano wa liŵiro onse amathamanga, koma mmodzi yekha ndiye amalandira mphotho? Tsono kuthamanga kwanu kukhale kwakuti nkukalandira mphothoyo. Aliyense wothamanga pa mpikisano wa liŵiro amadziletsa pa zonse. Iwowo amachita zimenezi kuti akalandire mphotho ya nkhata yamaluŵa yotha kufota. Koma mphotho imene ife tidzalandira, ndi yosafota. Nchifukwa chake ndimathamanga monga munthu wodziŵa kumene walinga. Ndiponso ndikamachita mpikisano womenyana, sindichita ngati munthu amene angomenya mophonya. Ndimazunza thupi langa ndi kuligonjetsa, kuti likhale ngati kapolo wondimvera. Ndimachita zimenezi kuwopa kuti ine ndemwe, amene ndidaitana ena ku mpikisano, ndingapezeke wosayenera kuchita nao mpikisanowo.
Mtima wanu usakangamire pa ndalama, ndipo zimene muli nazo, mukhutire nazo. Paja Mulungu adati, “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani konse.”
Samalirani bwino mayendedwe anu. Musayende monga anthu opanda nzeru, koma monga anthu anzeru. Mukhale achangu, osataya nthaŵi yanu pachabe, pakuti masiku ano ngoipa.
“Loŵerani pa chipata chophaphatiza. Pajatu chipata choloŵera ku chiwonongeko nchachikulu, ndipo njira yake ndi yofumbula, nkuwona anthu amene amadzerapo ndi ambiri. Koma chipata choloŵera ku moyo nchophaphatiza, ndipo njira yake ndi yosautsa, nkuwona anthu amene amaipeza ndi oŵerengeka.
ndiponso kudzikuza kulikonse koletsa anthu kudziŵa Mulungu. Timagonjetsa ganizo lililonse kuti limvere Khristu.
Tsono tiyeni tileke kumaweruzana. Makamaka mutsimikize kuti musachite kanthu kalikonse kophunthwitsa mbale wanu, kapena komchimwitsa.
Ndikuthamangira ku mapeto a mpikisano wa liŵirowu, kuti ndikalandire mphotho Kumwamba, imene Mulungu akutiitanira kudzera mwa Khristu Yesu.
Nkhope yachikoka ndi yonyenga, kukongola nkosakhalitsa, koma mkazi woopa Chauta ndiye woyenera kumtamanda.
Paja nthaŵi idzafika pamene anthu azidzakana chiphunzitso choona. M'malo mwake, chifukwa cholakalaka kumva zoŵakomera zokha, adzadzisankhira aphunzitsi ochuluka omaŵauza zimene iwo akufuna. Adzafulatira choona, osafunanso kuchimva, ndipo adzangotsata nthano chabe.
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.
