Umatithandiza Tikamazunzidwa Chifukwa cha Chikhulupiriro Chathu

 2. Kodi cholinga cha anthu amene amazunza anzawo chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chawo chimakhala chiyani ndipo kodi amachita motani zimenezi?

Nthawi zina anthuwo amachita zimenezi moonetsera koma nthawi zina mwakabisira. Baibulo limayerekezera zochita za Satana ndi za mkango wamphamvu ndiponso njoka ya mamba.​—Werengani Salimo 91:13.

 3. Mungafotokoze bwanji chizunzo chobwera ngati mkango wamphamvu ndi chobwera ngati njoka ya mamba?

³ Mofanana ndi mkango wolusa, Satana amaukira mwachindunji olambira oona pogwiritsa ntchito anthu achiwawa, kuwatsekera m’ndende kapena kuletsa chipembedzo chawo. (Sal. 94:20) Nkhani za m’buku la Yearbook, zimafotokoza za kuzunzidwa kwa Mboni za Yehova masiku ano m’njira zosiyanasiyana. M’madera ambiri, atumiki a Mulungu amazunzidwa ndi anthu achiwawa amene nthawi zina amatsogoleredwa ndi akuluakulu achipembedzo kapena andale. Njira zimenezi zili ngati za mkango wamphamvu ndipo zachititsa anthu ena ochepa kusiya kulambira koona. Mofanana ndi njoka ya mamba, Mdyerekezi amachita zinthu mwakabisira pofuna kusokoneza maganizo a anthu n’kuwanyenga kuti azichita zofuna zake. Cholinga chake n’kutifooketsa kapena kutisokoneza mwauzimu. Koma tikhoza kulimbana ndi njira zonsezi ndi mphamvu ya mzimu woyera wa Mulungu.

Komabe pali zinthu zimene tingachite kuti tikonzekere chizunzo. Anthu ambiri amene anatha kupirira pozunzidwa anatero chifukwa chakuti ankaganizira moyo wa anthu otchulidwa m’Malemba amene anakhala okhulupirika. Ankaganiziranso zimene Yesu anaphunzitsa ndiponso chitsanzo chake. Izi zinawathandiza kuti azikonda kwambiri Yehova. Chikondi chimenechi n’chimene chinawathandiza kulimbana ndi mavuto alionse amene anakumana nawo.

⁵ Taganizirani za alongo athu awiri a ku Malawi. Pofuna kuwakakamiza kuti agule makadi achipani, gulu la anthu olusa linawamenya, kuwavula zovala ndiponso kuwaopseza kuti liwagwiririra.

Ndiye ngati abale a ku ofesi ya nthambi agula makadi ife sizikutikhudza. Sitilola ngakhale mutiphe.” Atasonyeza kulimba mtima chonchi, alongowo anamasulidwa.

6, 7. Kodi Yehova amapereka bwanji mphamvu kwa atumiki ake akamazunzidwa?

⁶ Mtumwi Paulo ananena kuti Akhristu a ku Tesalonika analandira uthenga wa choonadi “ndi chimwemwe cha mzimu woyera,” ngakhale kuti anali “m’masautso ambiri.” (1 Ates. 1:6) Akhristu akale ndiponso a masiku ano amene apirira pozunzidwa amanena kuti pamene chizunzo chinafika poipa kwambiri, iwo anali ndi mtendere wa mumtima womwe ndi chipatso cha mzimu woyera wa Mulungu. (Agal. 5:22) Mtendere umenewu ndi umene unateteza mitima ndi maganizo awo. Yehova amagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu yake yogwira ntchito pothandiza atumiki ake kuti apirire mavuto alionse komanso kuti azichita zinthu mwanzeru akakumana ndi mavuto.a

⁷ Anthu amadabwa kwambiri kuona anthu a Mulungu akukhalabe okhulupirika ngakhale pamene akuzunzidwa mwankhanza. Zimaoneka kuti Mbonizi zili ndi mphamvu yoposa yachibadwa ndipo umu ndi mmene zimakhaliradi. Mtumwi Petulo akutitsimikizira kuti: “Ngati anthu akukunyozani chifukwa cha dzina la Khristu, ndinu odala chifukwa zikusonyeza kuti mzimu waulemerero, umene ndi mzimu wa Mulungu, wakhazikika pa inu.” (1 Pet. 4:14) Kuzunzidwa chifukwa chotsatira mfundo zolungama ndi umboni wakuti Mulungu akusangalala nafe. (Mat. 5:10-12; Yoh. 15:20) N’zolimbikitsa kwambiri kuona kuti Yehova akusangalala nafe.

(Mac. 4:21, 31; 5:29, 32) Anthu ambiri amangotsatira zimene anthu ena akuchita poopa kutsutsidwa kapena kukangana. Koma nthawi zambiri Akhristu oona amayenera kuchita zinthu zosiyana ndi anzawo pofuna kutsatira zimene akudziwa kuti n’zolondola.

¹¹ Taganizirani izi. Tiyerekeze kuti m’bale wina wachinyamata dzina lake Alex wadziwa zoti mnzake wina mu mpingo dzina lake Steve amakonda kuonera zolaula. Ndiyeno Alex akuuza Steve kuti sakusangalala ndi zimene iye amachita koma Steve sakumvera. Kenako Alex atauza mnzakeyo kuti akauze akulu, Steve akumuuza kuti ngati ali mnzakedi sayenera kuulula za nkhaniyo. Kodi Alex ayenera kuchita mantha poganiza kuti adana ndi mnzakeyo?

Izi zingachititse kuti Steve asakhalenso pa ubwenzi ndi Yehova. Alex ayenera kukumbukira kuti “kuopa anthu n’kumene kumatchera msampha, koma wokhulupirira Yehova adzatetezedwa.” (Miy. 29:25) Ndiyeno kodi Alex angachite chiyani? Iye angapitenso kwa Steve n’kukamufotokozera mokoma mtima za cholakwacho. Koma kuti achite zimenezi angafunike kulimba mtima. N’kutheka kuti akapitanso, Steve akhoza kuvomereza kukambirana za vuto lakeli. Alex ayenera kulimbikitsanso Steve kuti akauze akulu n’kumuuzanso kuti ngati sachita zimenezi pofika nthawi inayake, iyeyo akawauza.​—Lev. 5:1.

¹² Ngati mutatsatira zimenezi, mwina mnzanuyo poyamba sangamvetse zimene inu mukuchita pofuna kumuthandiza. Koma pakapita nthawi akhoza kuzindikira kuti mukuchita zimenezi chifukwa chakuti mumamufunira zabwino.

Mzimu woyera udzatipatsa mphamvu kuti tipirire vuto lililonse.

14. Kodi Yobu anapeza kuti mphamvu yomuthandiza kupirira mavuto amene anakumana nawo?

¹⁴ Yobu anakumana ndi mavuto motsatizanatsatizana. Chuma chake chinawonongedwa, ana ake anaphedwa, anzake anasiya kucheza naye, anadwala ndiponso mkazi wake anasiya kukhulupirira Yehova.

Pa nthawi imene Paulo ankavutika kwambiri ndiponso atatsala pang’ono kuphedwa chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chake, analemba kuti: “Ambuye anaima pafupi ndi ine ndi kundipatsa mphamvu, kuti kudzera mwa ine, ntchito yolalikira ichitidwe mokwanira, ndi kuti mitundu yonse ya anthu imve uthengawo. Ndiponso ndinapulumutsidwa m’kamwa mwa mkango.” (2 Tim. 4:17) Chifukwa cha zimene anakumana nazozi, Paulo anatsimikizira okhulupirira anzake kuti ‘asamade nkhawa ndi kanthu kalikonse.’​—Werengani Afilipi 4:6, 7, 13.

16, 17. Perekani chitsanzo chosonyeza kuti Yehova amapatsa anthu ake mphamvu yolimbana ndi mavuto masiku ano.

Iye atapempha bwana wake kuti akhale pa tchuthi n’cholinga choti akapezeke pa msonkhano wachigawo, bwanayo analusa n’kumuuza kuti ngati atapita adzamuchotsa ntchito. Roxana anapitabe ku msonkhanoko koma anapemphera ndi mtima wonse kuti asachotsedwe ntchito. Atatero, mtima wake unakhala m’malo. Msonkhanowu utatha, tsiku Lolemba bwana wake uja anamuchotsadi ndipo Roxana anadandaula kwambiri.

Iye anapempheranso n’kumaganizira mfundo yakuti popeza Mulungu anamuthandiza mwauzimu pa msonkhano ndiye kuti amuthandizanso kuti apeze zofunika pa moyo. Akubwerera kwawo, Roxana anapeza chikwangwani cholembedwa kuti “Tikufuna Antchito.” Chikwangwanichi chinali chofuna anthu odziwa kugwiritsa ntchito makina osokera ndipo iye anafunsira ntchitoyi. Bwana wa pakampaniyi anazindikira zoti iye sadziwa kusoka pa makina koma anamulembabe ntchito ndipo malipiro ake anali owirikiza pafupifupi kawiri malipiro amene ankamupatsa ku ntchito yoyamba ija. Apa Roxana anaona kuti mapemphero ake ayankhidwa. Koma anaona kuti wadalitsidwa kwambiri atatha kulalikira uthenga wabwino kwa anthu angapo amene ankagwira nawo ntchito. Pa anthu amene anawalalikirawa, anthu asanu kuphatikizapo bwana wa pakampaniyi anaphunzira choonadi n’kubatizidwa.

¹⁷ Nthawi zina tingaone ngati mapemphero athu sakuyankhidwa kapena tingaone kuti sanayankhidwe m’njira imene tinkafuna. Ngati zili choncho, tiyenera kudziwa kuti pali chifukwa chabwino. Yehova akudziwa chifukwacho ndipo mwina tidzachidziwanso m’tsogolo. Mfundo imodzi imene sitiyenera kuiwala ndi yakuti Mulungu sataya anthu ake okhulupirika.​—Aheb. 6:10.
