64 Mau a m'Baibulo Okhala Pamodzi Kupemphera
Mulungu amatiuza m’Mawu ake kuti “kumene kuli awiri kapena atatu osonkhana m’dzina langa, Ine ndili komweko pakati pawo” (Mateyo 18:20). Pemphero ndi lofunika kwambiri pa moyo wa wokhulupirira aliyense, ngati injini yoyendetsa galimoto ndi madzi ofunikira pathupi. Nthawi zina, zimakhala zovuta kupemphera wekha, koma ndi bwino kwambiri ukakhala ndi anthu akulimbikitsa mu pemphero, n’kumakudzutsanso chikondi cha Mulungu mumtima mwako.
Pa moyo timapeza magulu osiyanasiyana a anthu: amene amatipatutsa kwa Mulungu n’kutitsogolera m’njira zoipa, ndi amene amatibweretsa pafupi ndi Mulungu n’kulemeretsa miyoyo yathu. Yesetsa kukhala ndi anthu amene ungapemphere nawo kwa Ambuye momasuka, kumene ungatsegule mtima wako n’kudzichepetsa pamaso pake pamene ukupempha chifuniro chake.
Pemphero la wolungama lili ndi mphamvu yaikulu, tangoganizirani zomwe zingachitike olungama angapo akapemphera pamodzi! N’zoonekeratu kuti Mulungu adzadzionetsa, n’kuwonetsa ulemerero wake pamalo amene dzina lake likuyitanidwa. Ukadzakhala wotopa, wachisoni ndi wopanda chiyembekezo, pita kunyumba ya Mulungu n’kukapemphera ndi gulu la abale ako m’chikhulupiriro, chifukwa Mulungu adzachita zinthu zazikulu.
Kupemphera pamodzi kumalimbitsa mzimu, kumalimbikitsa mgwirizano ndi kulimbitsa ubale wa thupi la Khristu. Nthawi zina, usadzipatula; yandikira amene ukuona kuti ali kutali n’kuwapempha kuti mupemphere pamodzi. Yesu adzakusangalalira ndi kukukomera mtima chifukwa cha ichi.
Pemphero limene umagawana ndi banja lako, anzako ndi abale ako limalola Mulungu wathu kukhalapo ndi kudzionetsa mwamphamvu m’miyoyo yawo; iye amamva kulira kumeneko. Mulungu amasangalala akamafunidwa m’gulu ndi pamene akusonkhana kuti amulambire. Lero funa banja lako kapena anzako kuti mukayamikire Mlengi wathu.
Onseŵa ankalimbikira kupemphera ndi mtima umodzi, pamodzi ndi akazi ena, ndi Maria amai ake a Yesu, ndiponso abale ake a Yesu.
Nthaŵi imeneyo mudzandiitana ndi kumanditama mopemba, ndipo ine ndidzakumverani. Mudzandifunafuna, ndipo mudzandipeza. Mukadzandifunafuna ndi mtima wanu wonse,
Pamene anthu ake akulira kuti aŵathandize, Chauta amamva naŵapulumutsa m'mavuto ao onse.
Motero Petro ankasungidwa m'ndende. Koma Mpingo unkamupempherera kwa Mulungu kosalekeza.
Anthuwo ankasonkhana modzipereka kuti amve zimene atumwi ankaphunzitsa. Ankayanjana, ndipo ankadya Mgonero wa Ambuye ndi kupemphera pamodzi.
Muziwululirana machimo anu, ndipo muzipemphererana kuti muchire. Pemphero la munthu wolungama limakhala lamphamvu, ndipo silipita pachabe.
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.
Muzipemphera mosafookera, ndipo pamene mukupemphera, muzikhala tcheru ndiponso oyamika Mulungu.
“Ndikunenetsanso kuti aŵiri mwa inu mutavomerezana pansi pano popempha kanthu kalikonse, Atate anga akumwamba adzakupatsani. Apo Yesu adaitana mwana namuimiritsa pakati pao, Pajatu pamene aŵiri kapena atatu asonkhana m'dzina langa, Ineyo ndili nao pomwepo.”
Khalani maso inu ndi kumapemphera, kuti mungagwe m'zokuyesani. Mtima ndiye ukufunitsitsadi, koma langokhala lofooka ndi thupi.”
Chauta amakhala kutali ndi anthu oipa mtima, koma amamva pemphero la anthu achilungamo.
Chitani zonse mopemphera, ndi kupempha chithandizo cha Mulungu nthaŵi zonse. Nthaŵi iliyonse muzipemphera motsogoleredwa ndi Mzimu Woyera. Nchifukwa chake muchezere kupemphera mosalekeza, kupempherera anthu onse a Mulungu.
“Pamene mukupemphera, musamangobwerezabwereza mau monga amachitira anthu akunja. Iwowo amayesa kuti akachulukitsa mau choncho, ndiye pamene Mulungu aŵamvere.
Chauta ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mopemba. Ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mokhulupirika.
Ngati mukhala mwa Ine, ndipo mau anga akhala mwa inu, mupemphe chilichonse chimene mungachifune, ndipo mudzachilandiradi.
Tsono ngati inu, nkuipa kwanuku, mumadziŵa kupatsa ana anu mphatso zabwino, nanji Atate anu amene ali Kumwamba, angalephere bwanji kupereka zinthu zabwino kwa amene aŵapempha?
“Pemphani ndipo adzakupatsani. Funafunani ndipo mudzapeza, gogodani, ndipo adzakutsekulirani.
Chimalizo cha zonse chayandikira. Nchifukwa chake khalani ochenjera ndi odziletsa, kuti muthe kupemphera.
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.
Pamene iwo adamva zimenezi, onse adayamba kupemphera ndi mtima umodzi. Adati, “Ambuye, ndinu amene mudalenga dziko lakumwamba, dziko lapansi, nyanja, ndi zonse zili m'menemo.
Musade nkhaŵa ndi kanthu kalikonse, koma m'mapemphero anu onse muzipempha Mulungu zimene zikusoŵani, ndipo nthaŵi zonse muzipemphe ndi mtima woyamika.
Chilichonse chomwe mudzachipemphe potchula dzina langa ndidzachita, kuti Atate adzalemekezedwe mwa Mwana. Ngati mudzandipempha kanthu potchula dzina langa ndidzakachitadi.”
ndipo adaŵafunsa kuti, “Bwanji mukugona? Dzukani ndi kumapemphera, kuti mungagwe m'zokuyesani.”
Ndipo timalimba mtima pamaso pa Mulungu, popeza kuti amatimvera tikapempha kanthu kalikonse komukomera.
Pamene iwo adamva zimenezi, onse adayamba kupemphera ndi mtima umodzi. Adati, “Ambuye, ndinu amene mudalenga dziko lakumwamba, dziko lapansi, nyanja, ndi zonse zili m'menemo. Mwa Mzimu Woyera mudalankhulitsa kholo lathu Davide, mtumiki wanu, pamene adati, “ ‘Chifukwa chiyani anthu akunja adakalipa, anthu a mitundu ina adaganiziranji zopandapake? Mafumu a dziko lapansi adakonzekera, akulu a Boma adasonkhana pamodzi kulimbana ndi Chauta, ndiponso ndi wodzozedwa wake uja?’ “Zoonadi, Herode ndi Ponsio Pilato adasonkhana mumzinda muno pamodzi ndi anthu akunja, ndiponso ndi anthu a Israele, kuti alimbane ndi Yesu, Mtumiki wanu wopatulika amene mudamdzoza. Motero iwo adachitadi zonse zija zimene Inu mudaakonzeratu kale mwa mphamvu zanu ndi nzeru zanu kuti zichitike. Ndiye tsono Ambuye, onani zimene akutiwopsezazi, ndipo mutithandize atumiki anufe, kuti tilankhule mau anu molimba mtima ndithu. Tsono adaŵagwira, ndipo poti kunali kutada kale, adaŵaika m'ndende kufikira m'maŵa. Tambalitsani dzanja lanu kuti anthu achire, ndipo pachitike zizindikiro ndi zozizwitsa m'dzina la Mtumiki wanu wopatulika.” Atatha kupemphera, nyumba imene adasonkhanamo ija idayamba kugwedezeka. Onse adadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, nayamba kulankhula mau a Mulungu molimba mtima.
Ndipo ngakhale mupemphe, simulandira, chifukwa mumapempha molakwa. Zimene mumapempha, mumafuna kungozimwazira pa zokukondweretsani basi.
Ndipo timalimba mtima pamaso pa Mulungu, popeza kuti amatimvera tikapempha kanthu kalikonse komukomera. Ndipo ngati tikudziŵa kuti amatimvera tikapempha kanthu kalikonse, timadziŵanso kuti talandiradi zimene tampempha.
Nthaŵi ina Yesu ankapemphera pamalo pena. Pamene adatsiriza, wophunzira wake wina adampempha kuti, “Ambuye, tiphunzitseni kupemphera, monga Yohane Mbatizi adaphunzitsira ophunzira ake.”
Muzikhala okondwa chifukwa cha chiyembekezo chanu. Muzipirira pakati pa masautso, ndipo muzipemphera nthaŵi zonse.
Inunso amuna, muzikhala moŵamvetsa bwino akazi anu. Muziŵachitira ulemu popeza kuti iwowo ndi mtundu wofookerapo, ndiponso ngolandira nanu pamodzi mphatso ya Mulungu, imene ili moyo wosatha. Muzitero, kuti pasakhale kanthu koletsa mapemphero anu.
Nthaŵi ina Yesu ankapemphera pamalo pena. Pamene adatsiriza, wophunzira wake wina adampempha kuti, “Ambuye, tiphunzitseni kupemphera, monga Yohane Mbatizi adaphunzitsira ophunzira ake.” Paja munthu amene amapempha, ndiye amalandira, amene amafunafuna, ndiye amapeza, ndipo amene amagogoda, ndiye amamtsekulira. Ndani mwa atatenu, mwana wake atampempha nsomba, iye nkumupatsa njoka? Kapena atampempha dzira, iye nkumupatsa chinkhanira? Tsono ngati inu, nkuipa kwanuku, mumadziŵa kupatsa ana anu mphatso zabwino, nanji Atate akumwamba, angalephere bwanji kupereka Mzimu Woyera kwa amene aŵapempha.” Tsiku lina Yesu ankatulutsa mzimu woipa woletsa munthu kulankhula. Mzimuwo utatuluka, munthu amene anali wosalankhulayo adayamba kulankhula, mwakuti anthu ambirimbiri amene anali pomwepo adazizwa kwabasi. Koma ena mwa iwo adati, “Mphamvu zimene iyeyu amatulutsira mizimu yoipazi nzochokera kwa Belezebulu, mkulu wa mizimu yoipayo.” Enanso pofuna kumuyesa, adampempha kuti aŵaonetse chizindikiro chozizwitsa chochokera kumwamba. Koma Yesu adaadziŵa maganizo ao, motero adaŵauza kuti, “Anthu a mu ufumu uliwonse akayamba kuukirana, ufumuwo kutha kwake nkomweko. Ndipo m'banja akayamba kukangana, banjalo limapasuka. Tsono ngati a mu ufumu wa Satana ayamba kuukirana, Satanayo ufumu wake ungalimbe bwanji? Paja inu mukuti Ine ndimatulutsa mizimu yoipa ndi mphamvu za Belezebulu. Ngati Ineyo ndimatulutsa mizimu yoipa ndi mphamvu za Belezebulu, nanga ophunzira anu amaitulutsa ndi mphamvu za yani? Nchifukwa chake ophunzira anu omwewo ndi amene adzakuweruzani kuti ndinu olakwa. Yesu adati, “Pamene mukupemphera muziti, “ ‘Atate, dzina lanu lilemekezedwe. Ufumu wanu udze.
Atatero adabwerera kwa ophunzira aja, naŵapeza ali m'tulo. Tsono adafunsa Petro kuti, “Mongadi nonsenu mwalephera kukhala maso pamodzi nane ngakhale pa kanthaŵi kochepa? Khalani maso inu ndi kumapemphera, kuti mungagwe m'zokuyesani. Mtima ndiye ukufunitsitsadi, koma langokhala lofooka ndi thupi.”
Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu ponena kuti, “Anthu amene amakukonda iwe Yerusalemu, zinthu ziziŵayendera bwino. Mtendere ukhale m'kati mwa makoma ako, bata likhale m'nyumba zako zachifumu.” Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzanena kuti, “Mtendere ukhaledi m'kati mwako.” Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Chauta, Mulungu wathu, ndidzakupemphera zabwino.
Muzithandizana kusenza zokulemetsani, ndipo pakutero mumvere ndithu lamulo la Khristu.
Ndimayamika Mulungu wanga nthaŵi zonse ndikamakukumbukirani. Inunso mukumenya nkhondo yomwe ija imene mudandiwona ine ndikuimenya, yomwenso ndikumenyabe tsopano, monga mukumveramu. Nthaŵi zonse pamene ndikukupemphererani nonsenu, ndimapemphera mokondwa. Ndiyeneradi kuthokoza chifukwa mwakhala mukugwirizana nane ndi kundithandiza kufalitsa Uthenga Wabwino, kuchokera tsiku limene mudayamba kukhulupirira mpaka tsopano.
Tsono ndikukupemphani abale, kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, ndiponso ndi chithandizo cha chikondi chimene Mzimu Woyera amapereka, kuti mugwirizane nane polimbikira kundipempherera kwa Mulungu.
Khalani okondwa nthaŵi zonse. Muzipemphera kosalekeza. Muzithokoza Mulungu pa zonse. Paja zimene Mulungu amafuna kuti muzichita mwa Khristu Yesu nzimenezi.
Musade nkhaŵa ndi kanthu kalikonse, koma m'mapemphero anu onse muzipempha Mulungu zimene zikusoŵani, ndipo nthaŵi zonse muzipemphe ndi mtima woyamika. Pamenepo mtendere wochokera kwa Mulungu, umene uli wopitirira nzeru zonse za anthu, udzasunga bwino mitima yanu ndi maganizo anu mwa Khristu Yesu.
Paja Ambuye amaŵayang'anira bwino anthu olungama amatchera khutu ku mapemphero ao. Koma ochita zoipa saŵayang'ana bwino.”
Abale, ndikukupemphani m'dzina la Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, kuti muzivomerezana pa zimene munena. Pasakhale kupatulana pakati panu, koma muzimvana kwenikweni pokhala a mtima umodzi ndi a maganizo amodzi.
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.
Inu nomwe muthandizane nafe pakutipempherera. Pamenepo anthu ambiri adzathokoza Mulungu m'malo mwathu, chifukwa cha zimene Iye adatichitira mwa kukoma mtima kwake.
Tsiku lina pamene iwo adasonkhana kuti apembedze Ambuye ndi kuti asale zakudya, Mzimu Woyera adaŵauza kuti, “Mundipatulire Barnabasi ndi Saulo kuti akagwire ntchito imene ndaŵaitanira.” “Pambuyo pake adaŵapatsa oweruza kufikira nthaŵi ya mneneri Samuele. Kenaka anthu adapempha kuti aŵapatse mfumu, ndipo Mulungu adaŵapatsa Saulo, mwana wa Kisi, munthu wa fuko la Benjamini, iye nkuŵalamulira pa zaka makumi anai. Pambuyo pake Mulungu adamchotsa Sauloyo, naika Davide kuti akhale mfumu yao. Za iyeyu Mulungu adanena kuti, ‘Ndapeza Davide, mwana wa Yese, ndiye munthu wanga wapamtima, amene adzachita zonse zimene Ine ndifuna.’ Mwa zidzukulu za Davideyo Mulungu adasankha Yesu kuti akhale Mpulumutsi wa Aisraele, monga momwe adaalonjezera kale. Iyeyo asanayambe ntchito, Yohane ankalalikira Aisraele onse kuti atembenuke mtima ndi kubatizidwa. Pamene Yohane anali pafupi kutsiriza ntchito yake, adafunsa anthu kuti, ‘Kodi inu mumayesa kuti ine ndine yani? Inetu sindine amene mukumuyembekezayo ai. Koma pakubwera wina pambuyo panga amene ine sindili woyenera ngakhale kumvula nsapato zake.’ “Ine abale, zidzukulu za Abrahamu, ndi ena nonse oopa Mulungu, uthenga wa chipulumutsowu Mulungu watumizira ife. Anthu okhala ku Yerusalemu ndi akulu ao sadamzindikire Yesu, ndipo sadamvetse mau a aneneri amene amaŵerengedwa tsiku la Sabata lililonse. Komabe pakumzenga mlandu Yesuyo kuti aphedwe, adachitadi zimene aneneri adaaneneratu. Ngakhale sadapeze konse chifukwa chomuphera, komabe adapempha Pilato kuti Yesuyo aphedwe. Ndipo atachita zonse zimene zidalembedwa za Iye, adamtsitsapo pa mtanda paja namuika m'manda. Tsono atasala zakudya ndi kupemphera adaŵasanjika manja naŵatuma.
Koma iwe, pamene ukuti upemphere, loŵa m'chipinda chako, tseka chitseko, ndipo upemphere kwa Atate ako amene ali osaoneka. Tsono Atate ako amene amaona zobisika adzakupatsa mphotho.
Pa mpingo uliwonse adakhazika akulu a mpingo. Ndipo pakupemphera ndi kusala zakudya adaŵapereka kwa Ambuye amene anali atamkhulupirira tsopano.
Mau a Khristu akhazikike kwathunthu m'mitima mwanu. Muziphunzitsana ndi kulangizana ndi nzeru zonse. Muziimbira Mulungu ndi chiyamiko m'mitima mwanu, pamene mukuimba masalimo, nyimbo zotamanda Mulungu ndi nyimbo zina zauzimu.
Inu Ambuye ndinu abwino, ndipo mumakhululukira anthu anu. Chikondi chanu chosasinthika ndi chachikulu kwa onse amene amakupembedzani.
Tsono choyamba ndikukupemphani kuti pakhale mapemphero opempherera anthu onse. Mapemphero ake akhale opemba, opempha ndi othokoza Mulungu. Kwenikweni adzikongoletse ndi ntchito zabwino, monga ayenera kuchitira akazi amene amati ndi opembedza Mulungu. Akazi pophunzitsidwa, azikhala chete ndi a mtima wodzichepetsa. Sindilola kuti mkazi aziphunzitsa kapena kukhala ndi ulamuliro pa amuna. Mkazi kwake nkukhala chete. Paja Adamu ndiye adaayambira kulengedwa, pambuyo pake Heva. Ndiponso si Adamu amene adaanyengedwa, koma mkaziyo ndiye adaanyengedwa, naphwanya lamulo la Mulungu. Koma mkazi adzapulumukabe kudzera m'kubala ana, malinga akalimbikira modzichepetsa m'chikhulupiriro, m'chikondi ndi m'kuyera mtima. Muziŵapempherera mafumu ndi onse amene ali ndi ulamuliro, kuti tikhale ndi moyo wabata ndi wamtendere, tizitamanda Mulungu pa zonse ndi kumadzilemekeza.
Nchifukwa chake timakupemphererani nthaŵi zonse, kuti Mulungu wathu akusandutseni oyenera moyo umene Iye adakuitanirani. Timapemphanso kuti ndi mphamvu zake akulimbikitseni kuchita zabwino zonse zimene mumalakalaka kuzichita, ndiponso ntchito zotsimikizira chikhulupiriro chanu.
Chitsulo amachinola nchitsulo chinzake, chonchonso munthu amasulidwa ndi munthu mnzake.
Akadzandiitana, ndidzamuyankha, ndidzakhala naye pa nthaŵi yamavuto. Ndidzamlanditsa ndi kumlemekeza.
Momwemonso Mzimu Woyera amatithandiza. Ndife ofooka, osadziŵa m'mene tiyenera kupempherera. Nchifukwa chake Mzimu Woyera mwiniwake amatipempherera ndi madandaulo osafotokozeka. Ndipo Mulungu amene amayang'ana za m'kati mwa mitima ya anthu, amadziŵa zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna, pakuti Mzimuyo amapempherera anthu a Mulungu monga momwe Mulungu afunira.
Yandikirani kwa Mulungu, ndipo Iye adzayandikira kwa inu. Muzisamba m'manja, inu anthu ochimwa. Chotsani maganizo onyenga m'mitima mwanu, inu anthu okayikakayika.
Loŵani pa zipata zake mukuthokoza, pitani m'mabwalo a Nyumba yake mukutamanda. Yamikani Chauta, lemekezani dzina lake!
Pofuna kutsimikiza kuti ndinu ana ake, Mulungu adatitumizira Mzimu wa Mwana wake m'mitima mwathu, ndipo Mzimuyo amatinenetsa kuti, “Abba! Atate!”
