³ Patangopita kanthawi kochepa kuchokera pamene Yakobo, mchimwene wake wa Yesu anakhala wophunzira, Akhristu ku Yerusalemu anayamba kuzunzidwa. (Mac. 1:14; 5:17, 18) Ndipo wophunzira Sitefano ataphedwa, Akhristu ambiri anathawa mumzindawo ndipo “anabalalikira m’zigawo za Yudeya ndi Samariya,” ndipo ena anakafika mpaka kumadera akutali ngati ku Kupuro ndi ku Antiokeya. (Mac. 7:58–8:1; 11:19) Kunena zoona, ophunzirawo anakumana ndi mavuto ambiri. Komabe kulikonse kumene iwo ankapita, ankalalikira uthenga wabwino mofunitsitsa ndipo anakhazikitsa mipingo m’madera ambiri omwe anali pansi pa ufumu wa Roma. (1 Pet. 1:1) Koma pambuyo pa zimenezi Akhristuwo anakumananso ndi mavuto ena ambiri.

 4. Kodi ndi mavuto enanso ati omwe Akhristu oyambirira anakumana nawo?

⁴ Akhristu oyambirira anakumana ndi mayesero osiyanasiyana. Mwachitsanzo, cha m’ma 50 C.E., mfumu Kalaudiyo analamula kuti Ayuda achoke ku Roma. Choncho Ayuda omwe anakhala Akhristu anakakamizika kusiya nyumba zawo n’kusamukira kumadera ena. (Mac. 18:1-3) Cha m’ma 61 C.E., mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti Akhristu anzake ankatonzedwa poyera poikidwa m’ndende komanso kulandidwa katundu. (Aheb. 10:32-34) Mofanana ndi anthu onse, Akhristu nawonso ankapirira mavuto osiyanasiyana ngati umphawi komanso matenda.​—Aroma 15:26; Afil. 2:25-27.

 5. Kodi tikambirana mafunso ati?

Kodi n’chiyani chingachititse kuti Mkhristu asiye kusangalala? Nanga kodi nzeru, chikhulupiriro komanso kulimba mtima zingatithandize bwanji kuti tizisangalalabe ngakhale titakumana ndi mayesero aliwonse?

 6. Mogwirizana ndi Luka 6:22, 23, n’chifukwa chiyani Mkhristu angakhalebe wosangalala akamakumana ndi mayesero?

⁶ Anthu ambiri amaganiza kuti angakhale osangalala ngati ali ndi thanzi labwino, ndalama zambiri komanso banja losangalala. Komatu chimwemwe chimene Yakobo ankanena ndi limodzi mwa makhalidwe amene mzimu wa Mulungu umatulutsa ndipo sichidalira mmene zinthu zilili pa moyo wa munthu. (Agal. 5:22) Mkhristu angakhale ndi chimwemwe kapena kuti wosangalala, akadziwa kuti akusangalatsa Yehova komanso kutsatira chitsanzo cha Yesu. (Werengani Luka 6:22, 23; Akol. 1:10, 11) Chimwemwe chimene chimakhala mumtima mwa Mkhristu chili ngati lawi la nyale yagalasi lomwe limakhala lotetezeka. Lawilo limayakabe ngakhale kukuomba mphepo kapena kukugwa mvula. Chimwemwe chimenechi chimakhalapobe ngakhale tidwale kapena tikhale ndi ndalama zochepa. Ndipo sichitha ngakhale pamene anthu ena kapena a m’banja lathu akutinyoza kapena kutitsutsa. M’malo mokhala okhumudwa, chimwemwe chathu chimawonjezereka nthawi iliyonse imene anthu ena akufuna kutilanda chimwemwecho. Mayesero amene timakumana nawo chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chathu ndi amene amatsimikizira kuti ndifedi ophunzira a Khristu. (Mat. 10:22; 24:9; Yoh. 15:20) N’chifukwa chake Yakobo analemba kuti: “Abale anga, sangalalani pamene mukukumana ndi mayesero osiyanasiyana.”​—Yak. 1:2.

7-8. N’chifukwa chiyani chikhulupiriro chathu chimalimba tikamakumana ndi mayesero?

⁷ Yakobo anafotokoza chifukwa chinanso chimene chimachititsa Akhristu kukhala ofunitsitsa kupirira ngakhale mayesero aakulu. Iye anati: “Chikhulupiriro chanu chikayesedwa, chimabala kupirira.” (Yak. 1:3) Mayesero tingawayerekezere ndi moto umene amagwiritsa ntchito popanga chitsulo kuti chikhale cholimba. Chitsulocho chimaikidwa pamoto ndipo chikazizira chimakhala cholimba kwambiri. Mofanana ndi zimenezi, tikapirira mayesero chikhulupiriro chathu chimalimba. N’chifukwa chake Yakobo analemba kuti: “Mulole kuti kupirira kumalize kugwira ntchito yake, kuti mukhale okwanira ndi opanda chilema m’mbali zonse.” (Yak. 1:4) Tikamaona kuti mayesero akutithandiza kuti tikhale ndi chikhulupiriro cholimba, tingathe kuwapirira mosangalala.

⁸ M’kalata yake, Yakobo anatchulanso zinthu zina zimene zingachititse kuti tisamasangalale. Kodi zinthu zake ndi ziti, nanga tingalimbane nazo bwanji?

 9. N’chifukwa chiyani nzeru ndi zofunika tikakumana ndi mayesero?

Tikakumana ndi mayesero timafuna kuti Yehova atithandize kuti tisankhe zimene iye angasangalale nazo, zimene zingathandize abale ndi alongo athu komanso zimene zingatithandize kupitirizabe kukhala okhulupirika. (Yer. 10:23) Timafunika nzeru kuti tidziwe zoyenera kuchita komanso kulankhula, anthu ena akamatitsutsa. Ngati sitikudziwa zoyenera kuchita tikakumana ndi mavuto enaake, tikhoza kutaya mtima ndipo zimenezi zingachititse kuti tisamasangalale.

Ndiye kodi tiyenera kutani ngati tikuona kuti sanayankhe pemphero lathu mwamsanga? Yakobo ananena kuti tiyenera ‘kumapemphabe’ kwa Mulungu. Yehova sakwiya nazo tikamapitirizabe kumupempha kuti atipatse nzeru ndipo samatinyoza. M’malomwake Atate wathu wakumwamba amatipatsa “mowolowa manja” tikamapempha kuti atipatse nzeru zimene zingatithandize kuti tipirire mayesero. (Sal. 25:12, 13) Yehova amaona mayesero amene tikukumana nawo, amakhudzidwa tikamavutika komanso ndi wokonzeka kutithandiza. Zimenezitu zimatithandiza kukhala osangalala. Koma kodi Yehova amatipatsa bwanji nzeru?

Koma kuphunzira kokha sikokwanira, tiyenera kugwiritsira ntchito nzeru za Mulungu pa moyo wathu potsatira malangizo ake. Yakobo analemba kuti: “Muzichita zimene mawu amanena, osati kungomva chabe.” (Yak. 1:22) Tikamatsatira malangizo a Mulungu timakhala anthu amtendere, ololera komanso achifundo. (Yak. 3:17) Makhalidwe amenewa amatithandiza kuti tizipirira mayesero aliwonse amene tingakumane nawo koma n’kumakhalabe osangalala.

Yehova angatithandize kuti tizichita zinthu modekha anthu akatikhumudwitsa kapena tikakumana ndi mavuto enaake. Kuchita zinthu modekha kungathandize kuti tithe kulimbana ndi mavuto amene takumana nawo. Izi zili choncho chifukwa timachita zinthu moganiza bwino ndipo timasankha zochita mwanzeru.

N’chifukwa chake Yakobo anatilimbikitsa kuganizira zitsanzo za anthu a m’Baibulo monga Abulahamu, Rahabi, Yobu komanso Eliya. (Yak. 2:21-26; 5:10, 11, 17, 18) Atumiki a Yehova okhulupirikawa anapirira mayesero amene akanawachititsa kuti asamasangalale. Zitsanzo zimenezi zikusonyeza kuti nafenso Yehova angatithandize kuti tizipirira mosangalala mayesero amene tingakumane nawo.

Ngati sitingachitepo kanthu, kukayikira kumeneku kungawononge chikhulupiriro chathu komanso ubwenzi wathu ndi Yehova. (Yak. 1:7, 8) Zimenezi zingachititse kuti tisiye kukhulupirira zimene tikuyembekezera m’tsogolo.

¹⁵ Mtumwi Paulo anayerekezera chiyembekezo chathu cham’tsogolo ndi nangula. (Aheb. 6:19) Nangula amathandiza kuti sitima iime malo amodzi panyanja pakachita mafunde komanso kuti isatengeke ndi mphepo n’kukaomba miyala. Komatu nangula amakhala wothandiza ngati tcheni chake chili cholimba.

Choncho munthu amene amakayikira akakumana ndi mavuto amasiya kukhulupirira kuti Yehova adzakwaniritsa malonjezo ake. Ndiye munthu akasiya kukhulupirira sakhalanso ndi chiyembekezo.

¹⁶ Zimene tingachite: Tizithetsa kukayikira ndipo tizilimbitsa chikhulupiriro chathu. Tikayamba kukayikira tizichitapo kanthu mwamsanga. Mu nthawi ya mneneri Eliya anthu a Yehova anayamba kukayikira zimene ankakhulupirira. Eliya anawauza kuti: “Kodi mukayikakayika mpaka liti? Ngati Yehova ali Mulungu woona m’tsateni, koma ngati Baala ndiye Mulungu woona tsatirani ameneyo.” (1 Maf. 18:21) Zimenezi ndi zimene ifenso tiyenera kuchita masiku ano. Tiyenera kufufuza kuti tipeze umboni wotitsimikizira kuti Yehova ndi Mulungu, Baibulo ndi Mawu ake komanso kuti a Mboni za Yehova ndi anthu ake.

Tiyenera kuchitapo kanthu mwamsanga kuti tipitirizebe kutumikira Yehova mosangalala.
