Munthu ayenera kukhala wolimba mtima kuti akhale wodzichepetsa. Iye amapeweratu kunyada kapena kudzikuza. Kuti tikhale odzichepetsa tiyenera kudziona moyenera. Buku lina lofotokoza mawu a m’Baibulo limati: “Munthu wodzichepetsa amadziwa kuti iyeyo ndi wotsika kwambiri akadziyerekezera ndi Mulungu.” Kuzindikira mfundo imeneyi kungatithandize kuti tizipewa kudziona ngati apamwamba tikakhala ndi anzathu. (Aroma 12:3; Afil. 2:3) Koma anthu ochimwafe kudzichepetsa kumativuta.

6 Maganizo ake. Yuda analemba nkhani ina yosonyeza kuti Yesu anali wodzichepetsa asanabwere padzikoli. (Werengani Yuda 9.) M’nkhaniyi Yesu amatchedwa Mikayeli mkulu wa angelo ndipo imanena kuti iye “anasemphana maganizo ndi Mdyerekezi ndipo anakangana naye za mtembo wa Mose.” Pamene Mose anamwalira, Yehova anamuika m’manda koma palibe amene anadziwa malo ake. (Deut. 34:5, 6) N’kutheka kuti Satana ankafuna kuti Aisiraeli azigwiritsa ntchito thupi la Mose polambira. Kaya Satanayo amafuna kuchita zotani ndi thupilo, Mikayeli analimba mtima n’kutsutsana naye. Buku lina limanena kuti mawu achigiriki amene anawamasulira kuti “anasemphana maganizo” komanso akuti “anakangana” amanenanso zimene zimachitika anthu akamatsutsana kukhoti. Choncho mawuwa angasonyeze kuti Mikayeli ankatsutsa zoti Mdyerekezi ali ndi ufulu wotenga thupi la Mose. Ngakhale kuti Mikayeli anali mkulu wa angelo, anazindikira kuti alibe udindo woweruza Mdyerekezi. M’malomwake anasiya nkhaniyi m’manja mwa Yehova podziwa kuti iye ndi Woweruza Wamkulu.

Koma ankawalemekeza, ankawadalira ndiponso ankayamikira zabwino zimene ankachita. (Luka 22:31, 32; Yoh. 1:47) Zochita zake.

(Mlal. 7:16) Mkulu wodzichepetsa saona kuti ndi wapamwamba kuposa abale ena. Koma ‘amaona ena kukhala omuposa’ ndipo amakhala ngati wamng’ono.—Afil. 2:3; Luka 9:48.
9 Taganizirani za m’bale wina dzina lake W. J. Thorn. Iye anali woyang’anira dera kuyambira mu 1894. Koma atagwira ntchito imeneyi kwa nthawi yaitali, anapemphedwa kuti apite ku Beteli ku New York kuti azikaweta nkhuku.

(Miy. 15:23) Zochita zathu. Akhristu odzichepetsa safuna kukhala otchuka m’dzikoli. Koma amayesetsa kukhala moyo wosalira zambiri. Chifukwa chofuna kutumikira Yehova mwakhama, iwo amalolera kugwira ntchito zimene anthu m’dzikoli amaona kuti n’zonyozeka. (1 Tim. 6:6, 8) Koma chofunika kwambiri posonyeza kuti ndife odzichepetsa ndi kukhala omvera. Tiyenera kukhala odzichepetsa kuti ‘tizimvera amene akutsogolera’ mumpingo n’kumatsatira malangizo amene gulu la Yehova limatipatsa.—Aheb. 13:17.

Mwachitsanzo, iye “anagwetsa misozi” ataona Mariya ndi anthu ena akulira chifukwa cha imfa ya Lazaro. (Werengani Yohane 11:32-35.) Kenako Yesu anagwidwa kwambiri chifundo moti anaukitsa Lazaro. Izi ndi zimene anachitanso pa nthawi imene anaukitsa mwana wamwamuna wa mkazi wamasiye. (Luka 7:11-15; Yoh. 11:38-44) Mtima wachifundo wa Yesu unathandiza kuti Lazaro adzapezenso mwayi wodzakhala ndi moyo kumwamba. Pa nthawi ina m’mbuyomo, Yesu ‘anamvera chifundo’ gulu la anthu amene anasonkhana moti “anayamba kuwaphunzitsa zinthu zambiri.” (Maliko 6:34) Zimene Yesu ankaphunzitsa pa nthawiyo zinathandiza kwambiri anthu amene anazitsatira. Apatu sikuti Yesu ankangomvera chisoni anthu basi n’kuwasiya koma ankawathandiza.—Mat. 15:32-38; 20:29-34; Maliko 1:40-42.
13. Kodi Yesu ankalankhula bwanji ndi anthu ena? (Onani chithunzi patsamba 5.)

Ankalalikira uthenga umene unkathandiza anthu kukhala ndi chiyembekezo.

Amachita zimenezi makamaka kwa anthu ooneka ngati bango lophwanyika kapena nyale imene yatsala pang’ono kuzima. Ndiyeno kodi tingathandize bwanji anthu oterewa? Lemba la Aroma 12:15 limanena kuti: “Lirani ndi anthu amene akulira.” Anthu amene ali ndi nkhawa kapena chisoni amafuna kuti tiziwalimbikitsa osati kumangowauza zochita. Izi n’zimene mlongo wina ananena pamene mwana wake anamwalira. Iye anati: “Anzanga atabwera anangoyamba kulira nane basi. Izi zinandilimbikitsa kwambiri.” Kuchitira anthu ena zinthu zabwino ndi njira inanso yosonyezera chifundo. Mwachitsanzo, tingathandize mlongo wamasiye kukonza nyumba yake. Kapena mwina tingathandize wachikulire kuti akafike ku misonkhano, kuchipatala kapena kuti alowe mu utumiki. Nthawi zina zinthu zochepa zimatha kuthandiza kwambiri munthu amene akuvutika.

(Yes. 32:1, 2; 1 Pet. 5:2-4) Mkulu wachifundo salamulira nkhosa. Ngati munthu akuchita zonse zimene angathe, samuchititsa kudziimba mlandu kapena kuganiza kuti sakuchita zokwanira. M’malomwake amawathandiza kukhala osangalala. Amakhulupirira kuti iwo azichita zonse zimene angathe chifukwa chokonda Yehova.—Mat. 22:37.
