Anthu ena otchedwa ‘atumwi oposa’ anali kukayikira ngati mtumwi Paulo analidi woyenera kuwatsogolera. Iwo ankati: “Akalatatu, ati, ndiwo olemera, ndi amphamvu; koma maonekedwe a thupi lake n’ngofooka, ndi mawu ake n’ngachabe.” (2 Akorinto 10:7-12; 11:5, 6) Maganizo otere ayenera kuti anachititsa ena mumpingo wa Korinto kukayikira za njira yoyenera kutsatira.

Nawonso Akorinto anam’lemberapo kalata Paulo pofunsira malangizo pankhani zina. (1 Akorinto 7:1) Iye anawapatsa malangizo abwino kwambiri.

⁴ Paulo anawalembera kuti: “Dziyeseni nokha, ngati muli m’chikhulupiriro, dzitsimikizeni nokha.” (2 Akorinto 13:5) Kugwiritsa ntchito malangizo amenewa kukanateteza abale a ku Korintowo kuti asakayikire za njira yoyenera kutsatira.

5, 6. Kodi tili ndi muyeso uti wodziyesera ngati tili m’chikhulupiriro, ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani muyesowo uli wabwino kwambiri?

⁵ Pamayeso, kawirikawiri pamakhala munthu kapena chinthu choti chiyesedwe ndiponso muyeso wake. Koma pano, choyesedwacho si chikhulupiriro, kutanthauza mfundo zonse za choonadi zimene taziphunzira, koma ndi ifeyo aliyense payekha. Pamayesowa, tili ndi muyeso wangwiro woyesera. Nyimbo imene analemba wamasalmo Davide imati: “Malamulo a Yehova ali angwiro, akubwezera moyo; mboni [kapena zikumbutso] za Yehova zili zokhazikika, zakuwapatsa opusa nzeru; malangizo a Yehova ali olungama, akukondweretsa mtima: malamulo a Yehova ali oyera, akupenyetsa maso.” (Salmo 19:7, 8) Baibulo lili ndi malamulo angwiro a Yehova ndiponso malangizo ake olungama. Lilinso ndi zikumbutso zake zokhazikika ndi malamulo ake oyera. Choncho, uthenga wa m’Baibulo ndiwo muyeso wabwino kwambiri.

⁶ Pa uthenga wouziridwa ndi Mulungu umenewu, mtumwi Paulo anati: “Mawu a Mulungu ali amoyo, ndi ochitachita, ndi akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse, napyoza kufikira kugawira moyo ndi mzimu, ndi zimfundo ndi mafuta a m’mafupa, nazindikiritsa zolingirira ndi zitsimikizo za mtima.” (Ahebri 4:12) Inde, mawu a Mulungu angathe kuyesa mtima wathu, zimene ifeyo tili m’kati mwathu. Kodi tingagwiritse ntchito bwanji uthenga wamphamvu ndi wakuthwa umenewu m’moyo wathu? Wamasalmo anatchula mosapita m’mbali mmene tingagwiritsire ntchito mawu a Mulungu kuyesera mtima wathu. Iye anaimba kuti: “Wodala munthuyo . . . [amene] m’chilamulo cha Yehova muli chikondwerero chake; ndipo m’chilamulo chake amalingirira usana ndi usiku.” (Salmo 1:1, 2) “Chilamulo cha Yehova” chimapezeka m’Baibulo, lomwe ndi buku la Mawu a Mulungu. Tizikonda kuwerenga Mawu a Yehova. Inde, tizipatula nthawi yowawerenga chapansipansi kapena kuti kusinkhasinkha zimene zili m’menemo. Pochita zimenezi, tizidziyesa ndi zimene tikuwerengazo.

 8. Kodi mabuku ofalitsidwa ndi “kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru” angatithandize bwanji kudziyesa ngati tili m’chikhulupiriro?

⁸ Yehova wapereka ziphunzitso ndi malangizo kudzera m’mabuku ofotokozera Malemba a “kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru.” (Mateyu 24:45) Mwachitsanzo, taganizirani bokosi lakuti “Mafunso Owasinkhasinkha” limene limapezeka kumapeto kwa mitu yambiri m’buku la Yandikirani kwa Yehova.a Bokosi limeneli, limatipatsa mpata wabwino kwambiri wosinkhasinkha. Nkhani zosiyanasiyana za m’magazini athu a Nsanja ya Olonda ndi Galamukani!, zimatithandizanso kudziyesa ngati tilidi m’chikhulupiriro. Pankhani zofotokoza buku la Miyambo zimene zatuluka posachedwapa m’magazini a Nsanja ya Olonda, mayi wina wachikristu anati: “Nkhani zimenezi n’zopindulitsa. Zimandithandiza kuona ngati zolankhula zanga, khalidwe langa, ndi maganizo anga ali ogwirizanadi ndi miyezo yolungama ya Yehova.”

Izi ndi zina mwa njira zimene Mulungu akuthandizira mwauzimu anthu amene Yesaya anawalosera kuti: “Padzakhala masiku otsiriza, kuti phiri la nyumba ya Yehova lidzakhazikika pa nsonga ya mapiri, ndipo lidzakwezedwa pamwamba pa zitunda; mitundu yonse idzasonkhana kumeneko. Ndipo anthu ambiri adzanka, nati, Tiyeni tikwere kunka ku phiri la Yehova, . . . ndipo Iye adzatiphunzitsa za njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda m’mayendedwe ake.” (Yesaya 2:2, 3) Ndi mwayi waukulu kwambiri kulangizidwa njira za Yehova motere.

¹⁰ Njira ina yodziyesera tokha ndiyo malangizo ochokera kwa amene ali oyenerera mwauzimu, kuphatikizapo akulu achikristu. Za iwo, Baibulo limati: “Abale, ngatinso munthu agwidwa nako kulakwa kwakuti, inu auzimu, mubweze wotereyo mu mzimu wa chifatso; ndi kudzipenyerera wekha, ungayesedwe nawenso.” (Agalatiya 6:1) Tiyeneratu kukhala oyamikira thandizo lotiwongolera limeneli.

Kodi ine ndimatsatira zikhulupiriro zonse zachikristu?’ Mmene timaonera malangizo amene timalandira m’njira zimenezi, zimasonyeza ngati tili anthu auzimu kapena ayi. Baibulo limati: “Munthu wa chibadwidwe cha umunthu salandira za Mzimu wa Mulungu; pakuti aziyesa zopusa. . . . Koma iye amene ali wauzimu ayesa zonse.” (1 Akorinto 2:14, 15) Kodi sitiyenera kuyesetsa kukhalabe ndi maganizo auzimu oyamikira zimene timawerenga m’mabuku athu, m’magazini, ndi m’zofalitsa zina, ndiponso zimene timamva pamisonkhano yathu ndi kwa akulu?

Pakugwiritsa ntchito nzeru zawo, iwowa anadzizoloweretsa kusiyanitsa pakati pa zabwino ndi zoipa.” (Ahebri 5:14, Chipangano Chatsopano Cholembedwa m’Chichewa Chamakono) Timaonetsa umboni wakuti ndife okhwima mwa kuzoloweretsa nzeru zathu. Kuti munthu wochita masewera olimbitsa thupi azitha kuchita bwino masewerawo, amafunika kuzoloweretsa minofu ina ya m’thupi lake mwa kuigwiritsa ntchito kawirikawiri. Ifenso tiyenera kuzoloweretsa nzeru zathu mwa kuzigwiritsa ntchito potsatira mfundo za m’Baibulo.

Wophunzira Yakobo anapereka fanizo lamphamvu lofotokozera mbali yofunika kudziunika tokha imeneyi kuti: “Khalani akuchita mawu, osati akumva okha, ndi kudzinyenga nokha. Pakuti ngati munthu ali wakumva mawu wosati wakuchita, iyeyu afanana ndi munthu wakuyang’anira nkhope yake ya chibadwidwe chake m’kalirole; pakuti wadziyang’anira yekha, nachoka, naiwala pom’paja anali wotani.

Kuti tikhale alaliki achangu ndiponso kuti tiike ntchitoyi patsogolo m’moyo wathu monga mmene imafunikira, tifunika kusintha zinthu zambiri ndiponso kudzipereka.
