Patapita nsiku zakucepa kucokera pomwe Ajirayeri adalomboledwa ku ukapolo ku Edjipito, mtundu wa Amaleki udabwera kudzamenyana nawo. Mozeji adauza Djosuwe, mwamuna wakukhwimika, kuti atsogolere Ajirayeri ku nkhondoyo. Patsogolo pace Mozeji adatenga Aroni na Hura aciyenda pa phiri. Na pa phiripo iwo angadakwanisa kuwona mbuto yakumenyeranayo. Mozeji adateweza malango yomwe yadathandiza Ajirayeri kukunda nkhondo na Amalekiwo. Iye adaphatirira mpsimbo ya Mulungu wacadidi na manja yace aciidzusa m’dzulu. Pomwe Mozeji adacita bzimwebzi, Yahova adapasa mphanvu Ajirayeri kuti amenyane na Amaleki. Tsono pomwe manja ya Mozeji yakhalemedwa ndipo yakhayamba kugwa, Ajirayeri akhakundidwa na Amaleki. Aroni na Hura mwakamfulumize adathandiza Mozeji. ‘Iwo adatenga mwala kuti iye aukhalire. Ndipo Aroni na Hura akhadakhala winango ku mbali iyi winango ku mbali inangoyo, acimbaphatirira manja ya Mozeji ndipo manja yace yadapitiriza kukhala m’dzulu mpaka dzuwa kumira.’ Ndipo thangwe ra mphanvu ya boko la Mulungu, Ajirayeri adakunda nkhondoyo.—Kuf. 17:8-13. w16.09 1:5-7

Paulo adatsimikiza kuti angadakwanisa kukunda nkhondoyo mwa kupemba kuna Yahova, kukhulupira thandizo lace na kulatiza cikhulupiro pa msembe ya Jezu Kristu. Apa tani bza ifepano? Kodi tingakwanise kukunda nkhondo ya kulimbana na kutepa kwathu? Inde, mwa kutewezera mpostolo Paulo, kukhulupira Yahova na mtima wense na kukhulupirira cakulombolera, sikuti kuthemba mphanvu zathu. Nthawe zinango Mulungu angatilekerere kuti tilatize momwe tinkuwonera nkhani inango. Mwa ciratizo, kodi timbacita tani penu ifepano ayai munthu wa m’banja mwathu wagumana na matenda makulu ayai wacitiridwa bzinthu mwakusaya cilungamo? Tikakhulupira Yahova na mtima wense, tin’dzamukumbira kuti atipase mphanvu zomwe tinkufunikira kuti tikhale wakukhulupirika ticipitiriza kukhala wakukondwa na kulimbisa uxamwali bwathu na iye. (Waf. 4:13) Bziratizo bzizinji bza akristau, wakale na watsapano, bzimbalatiza kuti mipembo ingatilimbise na kutithandiza kukhala wakukhwimika kuti tipitirize kupirira. w16.09 2:14, 15

Pomwe gwere lacikristau likhayamba kukula, padacitika cinthu cinango. Ajuda wakulewalewa cigirego adandandaula kuti amansiwa wawo akhacitiridwa lini bzinthu mwacilungamo. Kuti amalise bvutoli, apostolo adasankhula amuna anomwe kuti ayende kukatsimikizira kuti munthu ali-wense acitiridwe bzinthu mwacirungamo. Apostolo adasankhula amuna omwe akhana madzina yacigirego, pinango kuti akazi wa mansiwawo akatsangalazidwe. (Mab. 6:2-6) Napo tizindikire khalidwe la tsankhulo ayai ne, tensenefe timbatokonyedwa kwene-kwene na mtundu wathu. (War. 12:2) Tingabvembo kuna omwe tidafendererana nawo mui, anzathu wakubasa ayai wa kuxikola ankulewa bzinthu bzakuipa bza wanthu wa cikhalidwe cinango, dzinza ayai mtundu wakusiyana na wathu. Kodi timbatokonyedwa tani na nzeru zakuipa ninga zimwezi? Ayai kodi timbabva tani munthu akanyoza dziko lathu ayai cikhalidwe cathu? w16.10 1:7, 8
