“Iye amene akufesera mzimu adzakolola moyo wosatha.”—AGAL. 6:8.
1, 2. Kodi lemba la Mateyo 9:37, 38 likukwaniritsidwa bwanji, ndipo zimenezi zachititsa kuti pafunike chiyani m’mipingo?

Choncho pemphani Mwini zokolola kuti atumize antchito kukakolola.” (Mat. 9:37, 38) Yehova Mulungu akuyankha mapemphero okhudza ntchitoyi kuposa ndi kale lonse. M’chaka cha utumiki cha 2009, mipingo ya Mboni za Yehova padziko lonse inawonjezeka ndi 2,031 ndipo inakwana 105,298. Pa avereji anthu okwana 757 ankabatizidwa tsiku lililonse.
2 Chifukwa cha kuwonjezeka kumeneku, pakufunika abale oti azitsogolera ntchito yophunzitsa ndiponso yoweta nkhosa mumpingo. (Aef. 4:11) Kwa zaka zambiri, Yehova waonetsetsa kuti pakhale amuna oyenerera kuti azisamalira nkhosa zake ndipo tikukhulupirira kuti apitirizabe kuchita zimenezi. Ulosi wa pa Mika 5:5 umatitsimikizira kuti m’masiku otsiriza anthu a Yehova adzakhala ndi “abusa asanu ndi awiri” ndiponso “akalonga asanu ndi atatu.” Abusa ndi akalongawa akuimira amuna amene amatsogolera anthu a Yehova.

Yesetsani kuti ‘musafesere thupi.’ Musalole kuti zinthu ngati kufuna moyo wabwino ndiponso zosangalatsa zikulepheretseni kukhala ndi mtima wofuna kutumikira Mulungu. Akhristu onse ayenera ‘kufesera mzimu,’ ndipo m’kupita kwa nthawi amuna amene akuchita zimenezi angayenerere udindo mumpingo. Popeza masiku ano pakufunika atumiki othandiza ndi akulu ambiri, nkhani iyi yalembedwera makamaka amuna achikhristu.

4 M’bale sangakhale woyang’anira popanda kuchita khama. Iye ayenera kuyesetsa kuti agwire “ntchito yabwino” imeneyi. (1 Tim. 3:1) Ntchito imeneyi imaphatikizapo kutumikira Akhristu anzathu ndiponso kuwathandiza akakhala pa mavuto. (Werengani Yesaya 32:1, 2.) Ngati m’bale akuyesetsa kuti akhale pa udindo ndi zolinga zabwino, sikuti akungofuna kukhala patsogolo pa ena. Koma akufuna kuthandiza ena mwachikondi.

Kodi ndimalimbikitsa Akhristu anzanga mwa kuwathandiza kuchokera pansi pa mtima? Kodi ndimadziwika kuti ndine wokonda kuphunzira Mawu a Mulungu? Kodi ndimayesetsa kupereka ndemanga zogwira mtima?

6 Njira ina imene ingathandize kuti muyenerere udindo mumpingo ndiyo ‘kulola kuti munthu wanu wa mkati akhale wamphamvu, mwa mphamvu ya mzimu wa Mulungu.’ (Aef. 3:16) Kukhala mtumiki wothandiza kapena mkulu mumpingo wachikhristu si nkhani yoti munthu amangosankhidwa. Izi zimachitika ngati munthuyo akuyesetsa kukula mwauzimu. Kodi mungatani kuti mukule mwauzimu? Njira imodzi ndi yakuti muyenera “kupitiriza kuyenda mwa mzimu” ndiponso kusonyeza zipatso zake.

8 Nthawi zonse mzimu wodzimana wakhala chizindikiro cha amuna amene amagwira ntchito molimbika potumikira anthu a Yehova. Mwachitsanzo, Nowa sanauze anthu am’banja lake kuti: ‘Mukatha kumanga chingalawa, mundiuze kuti inenso ndilowemo.’ Mose sanauze Aisiraeli ku Iguputo kuti: ‘Aliyense anyamuke, tikakumana pa Nyanja Yofiira.’ Yoswa sananene kuti: ‘Makoma a Yeriko akagwa mundiuze.’ Ndipo Yesaya sanaloze munthu wina n’kunena kuti: ‘Uyo ali apoyo! M’tumizeni ameneyo.’—Yes. 6:8.
9 Yesu Khristu ndi chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri cha munthu amene analola mzimu wa Mulungu kumutsogolera. Iye analandira ndi mtima wonse udindo wotumikira anthu monga Mpulumutsi.

Pofotokoza mmene amaonera nkhosa, mkulu wina yemwe watumikira nthawi yaitali anati: “Mawu amene Yesu anauza Petulo akuti weta tiana tankhosa tanga, amandikhudza mtima kwambiri. Kwa zaka zambiri, ndaona kuti kuchitira munthu zinthu zinazake ngakhale zazing’ono kumalimbikitsa munthuyo. N’chimodzimodzinso ndi kulankhula mawu achikondi ngakhale atakhala ochepa. Ubusa ndi ntchito imene ndimaikonda kwambiri.”—Yoh. 21:16.
10. Kodi n’chiyani chingalimbikitse amuna achikhristu kutsanzira Yesu potumikira ena?
10 Pa nkhani ya kusamalira nkhosa za Mulungu, amuna obatizidwa mumpingo amafunitsitsa kusonyeza mzimu umene Yesu anali nawo. Iye anati: “Ndidzakutsitsimutsani.” (Mat. 11:28) Kukhulupirira Mulungu ndiponso kukonda anthu mumpingo kumalimbikitsa amuna achikhristu kuyesetsa kuti agwire ntchito yabwinoyi popanda kuganiza kuti kuchita zimenezi ndi kudzimana mopambanitsa kapena kuti kumafuna zambiri. Bwanji ngati m’bale alibe mtima wofuna kutumikira pa udindo uliwonse? Kodi zingatheke kuti m’bale wotereyu angakhale ndi mtima wofuna kutumikira mumpingo?

(Luka 11:13) Mzimu wa Yehova ungakuthandizeni kuthetsa nkhawa zilizonse zimene mungakhale nazo pa nkhani imeneyi. Mulungu ndi amene amapereka mtima wofuna kutumikira. Tikutero chifukwa chakuti mzimu wa Yehova ndi umene umalimbikitsa m’bale kuyesetsa kuti akhale pa udindo ndipo umam’patsa mphamvu kuti athe kuchita utumiki umenewu. (Afil. 2:13; 4:13) Choncho, ndi bwino kupempha Yehova kuti akuthandizeni kukhala ndi mtima wofuna kulandira udindo wotumikira ena.—Werengani Salmo 25:4, 5.
12. Kodi munthu angapeze bwanji nzeru zomuthandiza kusamalira udindo umene wapatsidwa?
12 Mwina m’bale sangafune kutumikira chifukwa choganiza kuti kusamalira nkhosa mumpingo n’kovuta kwambiri.

Ngati ndi choncho, m’baleyo ayenera kuphunzira mwakhama Mawu a Mulungu ndi mabuku ofotokoza Baibulo kuti apeze nzeru. Angachite bwino kudzifunsa kuti: ‘Kodi ndimapatula nthawi yophunzira Mawu a Mulungu ndiponso kupempha Mulungu kuti andipatse nzeru?’ Wophunzira Yakobe analemba kuti: “Ngati wina akusowa nzeru, azipempha kwa Mulungu, ndipo adzam’patsa, popeza iye amapereka mowolowa manja kwa onse ndi mosatonza.” (Yak. 1:5) Kodi mumakhulupirira mawu ouziridwa amenewa? Poyankha pemphero la Solomo, Mulungu anamupatsa “mtima wanzeru ndi wakuzindikira” umene unamuthandiza kuzindikira pakati pa zabwino ndi zoipa poweruza. (1 Maf. 3:7-14) N’zoona kuti Mulungu sangatichitire zinthu ngati mmene anachitira ndi Solomo poyankha pemphero lake. Komabe, tiyenera kukhulupirira kuti Mulungu amapatsa nzeru amuna amene apatsidwa udindo mumpingo kuti asamalire bwino nkhosa zake.—Miy. 2:6.

Mwachitsanzo, taonani zimene lemba la 2 Akorinto 5:14, 15 limanena. (Werengani.) Kodi ‘chikondi chimene Khristu ali nacho chimatikakamiza’ bwanji? Chikondi chimene Khristu anasonyeza potifera malinga ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu n’chapadera kwambiri. Pamene tizindikira ndiponso kuyamikira kwambiri chikondi chimenechi, timalimbikitsidwa kuchitapo kanthu. Chikondi cha Khristu n’chimene chinkatsogolera Paulo. Chinamuthandiza kuti asamachite zinthu modzikonda ndiponso kuti cholinga chake chachikulu chikhale kutumikira Mulungu ndi anthu anzake mumpingo komanso kunja kwa mpingo.

15, 16. Kodi anthu a m’banja angathandize bwanji kuti mwamuna ayenerere kukhala mkulu kapena mtumiki wothandiza?
15 Ngati m’bale ali wokwatira ndipo ali ndi ana, akulu akamaona ngati akuyenerera kutumikira monga mtumiki wothandiza kapena mkulu, amaonanso mmene zinthu zilili m’banja lake.
