(Aef. 3:8-11, 18) Masiku ano, Akhristu odzozedwa limodzi ndi “nkhosa zina” amadyera limodzi mwauzimu n’kumaphunzira mfundo zachoonadi zimenezi. (Yoh. 10:16) Kodi mumaona kuti ndi mwayi wamtengo wapatali kwambiri kuthandizidwa ndi mzimu woyera kuti mudziwe ndiponso kumvetsa Mawu a Mulungu?

Iye analandira choonadi chifukwa “anadabwa kwambiri ndi zimene anaphunzira zokhudza Yehova.” (Mac. 13:8-12) Apa zikuonekeratu kuti Paulo ankadziwa kuti mzimu woyera wa Mulungu ndi umene ungamuthandize kuti athe kulankhula choonadi. (Mat. 10:20) Kenako iye anapempha Akhristu a mpingo wa ku Efeso kuti azimupempherera kuti am’patse mphamvu yoti ‘azitha kulankhula.’—Aef. 6:18-20.

Masiku ano, Mulungu akutitsogolera ndi mzimu wake mosiyana ndi mmene ankachitira m’nthawi ya Paulo.

“Ntchito Zosiyanasiyana”

12 Timalimbikitsidwa kwambiri tikamawerenga nkhani zosonyeza mmene Yehova ankadalitsira mpingo wa Akhristu odzozedwa, utangoyamba. Kumbukirani zimene Paulo anauziridwa kulemba m’kalata yake yopita kwa Akorinto zokhudza mphatso za mzimu zosiyanasiyana zimene anthu analandira m’nthawi yake. Iye anati: “Tsopano mphatso zilipo zamitundumitundu, koma mzimu ndi umodzi, ndipo pali mautumiki osiyanasiyana, koma Ambuye ndi mmodzi. Palinso ntchito zosiyanasiyana, koma Mulungu amene amachita ntchito zonsezo mwa anthu onse ndi mmodzi.” (1 Akor. 12:4-6, 11) Apa mfundo ndi yakuti mzimu woyera umagwira ntchito pa atumiki a Mulungu m’njira zosiyanasiyana mogwirizana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu. Akhristu a “kagulu ka nkhosa” ndiponso a “nkhosa zina” angalandire mzimu woyera. (Luka 12:32; Yoh. 10:16) Koma sikuti umachititsa anthu mu mpingo kuchita zinthu zofanana.
13 Mwachitsanzo, akulu amaikidwa ndi mzimu woyera. (Mac. 20:28) Koma sikuti Akhristu onse amene adzozedwa ndi mzimu woyera ndi akulu mu mpingo. Kodi tikuphunzira chiyani pamenepa? Mfundo ndi yakuti mzimu wa Mulungu umagwira ntchito pa anthu mu mpingo m’njira zosiyanasiyana.
14 Mzimu umene umachititsa Akhristu odzozedwa kutsimikiza kuti ndi ana a Mulungu ndi umenenso Yehova anagwiritsa ntchito poukitsa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha kuti akakhale ndi moyo wosafa kumwamba. (Werengani Aroma 8:11, 15.) Mzimu umenewu ndi umene Yehova anagwiritsanso ntchito polenga zinthu zonse. (Gen. 1:1-3) Yehova anagwiritsanso ntchito mzimu woyera womwewu kuti Bezaleli agwire ntchito yokhudza chihema, kuti Samisoni akhale wamphamvu kwambiri ndiponso kuti Petulo ayende pamadzi. Tisaganize kuti kukhala ndi mzimu wa Mulungu n’kofanana ndi kudzozedwa ndi mzimuwu. Kudzozedwa ndi mzimu woyera ndi ntchito yapadera imodzi yokha imene mzimuwu umagwira ndipo Mulungu ndi amene amasankha anthu oti adzozedwe.
15. Kodi kubatiza anthu ndi mzimu woyera kudzapitirira mpaka kalekale? Fotokozani.
15 Mzimu woyera wa Mulungu wakhala ukugwira ntchito m’njira zosiyanasiyana pa atumiki a Yehova okhulupirika kwa nthawi yonse imene Mulungu wakhala ndi atumiki okhulupirika. Choncho wakhala ukugwira ntchito kwa zaka masauzande anthu asanayambe kudzozedwa nawo. Pa Pentekosite mu 33 C.E., anthu anayamba kudzozedwa ndi mzimu koma sikuti zimenezi zidzapitirira mpaka kalekale. Kubatizidwa ndi mzimu kudzatha koma mzimu woyera udzapitiriza kutsogolera anthu a Mulungu n’cholinga choti apitirize kuchita chifuniro chake mpaka kalekale.
16. Kodi mzimu woyera ukuthandiza atumiki a Mulungu kuchita chiyani masiku ano?
16 Kodi ndi ntchito iti imene ikuchitika padziko lapansi motsogoleredwa ndi mzimu woyera wa Yehova? Lemba la Chivumbulutso 22:17 limati: “Mzimu ndi mkwatibwi akunenabe kuti: ‘Bwera!’ Aliyense wakumva anene kuti: ‘Bwera!’ Aliyense wakumva ludzu abwere. Aliyense amene akufuna, amwe madzi a moyo kwaulere.” Mzimu wa Mulungu umalimbikitsa Akhristu masiku ano kuti aziitana munthu “aliyense amene akufuna” kuti amwe madzi a moyo. Akhristu odzozedwa ndi amene akutsogolera pa ntchito imeneyi. Koma nawonso a nkhosa zina amagwira ntchito yoitana anthu imeneyi. Mzimu woyera umathandiza anthu a magulu awiri onsewa kugwira bwino ntchitoyi. Anthu a m’magulu awiriwa anasonyeza kuti anadzipereka kwa Yehova pobatizidwa “m’dzina la Atate, ndi la Mwana, ndi la mzimu woyera.” (Mat. 28:19) Onsewa amalola kutsogoleredwa ndi mzimu wa Mulungu pa moyo wawo ndipo amasonyeza makhalidwe amene mzimuwo umatulutsa. (Agal. 5:22, 23) Mofanana ndi Akhristu odzozedwa, a nkhosa zina amalola mzimu wa Mulungu kuwathandiza. Mothandizidwa ndi mzimuwo amayesetsa kutsatira mfundo zolungama za Yehova kuti akhale oyera.—2 Akor. 7:1; Chiv. 7:9, 14.
Pitirizani Kupempha Mzimu Woyera
17. Kodi tingasonyeze bwanji kuti tili ndi mzimu wa Mulungu?
17 Choncho kaya Mulungu wakupatsani chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha kumwamba kapena padziko lapansi, Yehova akhoza kukupatsani “mphamvu yoposa yachibadwa” kuti mukhalebe okhulupirika ndiponso mukalandire mphoto yanuyo. (2 Akor. 4:7) N’zoona kuti anthu ena angakunyozeni mukamalalikira uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu. Koma musaiwale 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.
18, 19. Kodi Yehova adzakuthandizani bwanji pogwiritsa ntchito mzimu wake, ndipo kodi inuyo mwatsimikiza kuchita chiyani pa nkhani imeneyi?
18 Mulungu amapereka mwaulere mzimu woyera kwa anthu amene amapempha kuchokera pansi pa mtima. Ungakuthandizeni kukhala ndi maluso ndiponso mtima wofuna kuchita zonse zimene mungathe mu utumiki wa Yehova. “Mulungu amachita zinthu m’njira imene imamusangalatsa. Iye amalimbitsa zolakalaka zanu kuti muchite zinthu zonse zimene iye amakonda.” Mphatso yamtengo wapatali kwambiri ya mzimu woyera ndiponso khama lathu zikhoza kutithandiza “kugwira mwamphamvu mawu amoyo” ndiponso kupitiriza “kukonza chipulumutso [chathu], mwamantha ndi kunjenjemera.”—Afil. 2:12, 13, 16.
19 Choncho, muzidalira kwambiri mzimu wa Mulungu ndiponso kuchita khama kwambiri pa utumiki uliwonse. Sonyezani luso lanu lonse pa ntchito imene mwapatsidwa ndipo muzidalira Yehova kuti akuthandizeni. (Yak. 1:5) Iye adzakupatsani zinthu zonse zimene zingakuthandizeni kumvetsa Mawu ake, kuthana ndi mavuto komanso kulalikira uthenga wabwino. Yesu anati: “Pemphanibe, ndipo adzakupatsani. Pitirizani kufunafuna, ndipo mudzapeza. Gogodanibe, ndipo adzakutsegulirani.” (Luka 11:9, 13) Izi zikuphatikizapo kupempha mzimu woyera. Choncho pitirizani kupempha Yehova kuti mukhale m’gulu la atumiki ake otsogoleredwa ndi mzimu woyera wa Mulungu.
