Lindilirani Yehova na Cigomezgo Ndipo Muŵe Ŵacikanga
“Lindilira [“gomezga,” NW] Yehova na kumulaŵilira; khwima mtima, mtima wako uŵe wakukhwima; enya nadi, lindilira na kumulaŵilira Yehova!”—SALMO 27:14.
1. Kasi cigomezgo nchakuzirwa wuli, ndipo lizgu ili likugwira nchito wuli mu Malemba?
CIGOMEZGO canadi cili nga ni ungweru ukuru. Nanga tingayezgeka, cigomezgo cikutovwira kulindilira vyamunthazi na cikanga kweniso cimwemwe. Ni Yehova pera uyo wakupeleka cigomezgo canadi, ndipo wakutipa kwizira mu Mazgu ghake. (2 Timote 3:16) Nakuti mazgu ghakuti “cigomezgo,” “wakagomezga,” na “kugomezga” ghakusangika kanandi waka mu Baibolo, ndipo ghakuyowoya za kulindilira vinthu viwemi.a Cigomezgo ni makhumbiro waka agho ghangatondeka kufiskika yayi.
2. Kasi cigomezgo cikamovwira wuli Yesu mu umoyo wake?
2 Mu viyezgo na visuzgo, Yesu wakaghanaghananga vyamunthazi ndipo wakagomezga Yehova. “Cifukwa ca cimwemwe ico caŵikika panthazi zake, wakazizipizga [“khuni lakusuzgikirapo,” NW], wakelura soni, ndipo wali kukhala ku malyero gha cizumbe ca Ciuta.” (Ŵahebere 12:2) Cifukwa cakuti Yesu wakakhumbisiska kukwezga muwuso wa Yehova na kuthuwuska zina Lake, wakaleka yayi kupulikira Ciuta, nangauli wakakomwerapo.
3. Kasi cigomezgo cili na nchito wuli mu umoyo wa ŵateŵeti ŵa Ciuta?
3 Themba Davide likazunura kuyana uko kulipo pakati pa cigomezgo na cikanga, likati: “Lindilira [gomezga] Yehova na kumulaŵilira; khwima mtima, mtima wako uŵe wakukhwima; enya nadi, lindilira na kumulaŵilira Yehova!” (Salmo 27:14) Usange tikukhumba kuti tiŵe ŵakukhwima mtima, cipulikano cithu cileke kuŵa cawaka, kweni nyengo zose ciŵenge canadi mu maghanoghano na mitima yithu. Ici citovwirenge kuyezga Yesu pakulongora cikanga na mwamphu apo tikucita nchito iyo wakalangura ŵasambiri ŵake kuti ŵacite. (Mateyu 24:14; 28:19, 20) Inya, cigomezgo cikuzunulika pamoza na cipulikano na citemwa, ndipo nchakuzirwa comene, cikuzizipizga nakuti ŵateŵeti ŵa Ciuta ŵakumanyikwa kuti ŵali na cigomezgo.—1 Ŵakorinte 13:13.
Kasi Mukuzura na Cigomezgo?
4. Kasi Ŵakhristu ŵakuphakazgika na ŵanyawo ŵa “mberere zinyake” ŵakulindilira vici?
4 Ŵanthu ŵa Ciuta ŵakulindilira viwemi munthazi. Ŵakhristu ŵakuphakazgika na mzimu utuŵa ŵakulindilira kuzakateŵetera na Khristu kucanya. Ndipo ŵa “mberere zinyake” ŵakulindilira ‘kusutuka ku wuzga wa kuvunda, na kunjira mu wanangwa wa ucindami wa ŵana ŵa Ciuta [ŵa pa caru capasi].’ (Yohane 10:16; Ŵaroma 8:19-21; Ŵafilipi 3:20) Mu “wanangwa wa ucindami” uwu, ŵazamufwatuka ku kwananga na viphyo ivyo viliko cifukwa ca kwananga. Yehova, Mupi wa “vyawanangwa viwemi vyose, na vyawanangwa vyakufiskika vyose” waŵapenge cawanangwa ciwemi comene ŵakugomezgeka ŵake.—Yakobe 1:17; Yesaya 25:8.
5. Kasi vikwenda wuli kuti ‘tizure na cigomezgo’?
5 Kasi cigomezgo cili na nchito yikuru wuli mu umoyo withu ise Ŵakhristu? Pa Ŵaroma 15:13, tikuŵazga kuti: “Ciuta wa cigomezgo wamuzuzgani na cimwemwe cose na mtende, mu kupulikana, mwakuti mufurwenge [muzurenge] mu cigomezgo, mu nkhongono za mzimu utuŵa.” Cigomezgo tingaciyaniska na kandulu mu cidima yayi, kweni na malazi gha zuŵa para lafuma mulenji. Cifukwa ca cigomezgo, munthu wakuŵa na mtende, cimwemwe, umoyo wake ukuŵa wakunozga, kweniso wakuŵa wacikanga. Wonani kuti tikuzura “mu cigomezgo” usange tagomezga Mazgu gha Ciuta na kupokera mzimu wake. Buku la Ŵaroma 15:4 likuti: ‘Ivyo vyose vikalembeka kale, vikalembekera kusambizgika kwithu, mwakuti tiŵenge na cigomezgo mu cizizipizgo na cisangulusko ivyo vili mu Malembo.’ Ntheura jifumbani kuti: ‘Kasi nkhusambira Baibolo na kuliŵazga zuŵa lililose kuti cigomezgo cane cilutilire kuŵala? Kasi nkhulomba mzimu wa Ciuta nyengo zose?’—Luka 11:13.
6. Kasi tikwenera kujisungilira ku vici kuti cigomezgo cithu cilutilire kuŵala?
6 Yesu, mweneuyo tikulondezga umo wakacitiranga, wakasanganga nkhongono mu Mazgu gha Ciuta. Usange tamanya makora umo wakacitiranga, citovwirenge kuti tileke “kuŵa ŵakutomboroka, panji ŵakuwa nkhumbi mu mizimu” yithu. (Ŵahebere 12:3) Ntheura tingateta yayi para tingayowoya kuti, usange cigomezgo ico Ciuta watipa cazimwa mu maghanoghano na mitima yithu, panji usange mahara ghithu ghakuŵa ku vinthu vinyake, nga ni cuma panji ku milimo ya taŵene, tingakaŵa yayi kutomboroka mu umoyo wauzimu. Usange vingaŵa nthena, tingaŵavya cikanga cakuti tisungilire makhaliro ghawemi, ndipo ‘tingathirwa cipulikano’ cithu. (1 Timote 1:19) Kweni usange tili na cigomezgo canadi, cipulikano cithu cikukhozgeka.
Cigomezgo Nchakuzirwa Kuti Munthu Waŵe na Cipulikano
7. Kasi cigomezgo nchakuzirwa wuli ku cipulikano?
7 Baibolo likuti: “Cipulikano nchikhomesko ca vyakugomezgeka, nchiyelezgero ca vinthu vyambura kuwoneka.” (Ŵahebere 11:1) Ntheura cigomezgo cikusazgirako waka cipulikano yayi, kweni nchakuzirwa kuti munthu waŵe na cipulikano. Ciyelezgero ni Abrahamu. Mu maso gha ŵanthu, iyo na muwoli wake Sara ŵakajumpha msinkhu wakuti ŵangaŵa na mwana apo Yehova wakaŵalayizga kuti waŵapenge mphapu. (Genesis 17:15-17) Kasi Abrahamu wakacita wuli? “Para cigomezgo cikamara, [“wakakhazga pa cigomezgo,” Phangano Liphya], wakalutilira mu cipulikano mwakuti ntheura wazgoke wiske wa mitundu yinandi.” (Ŵaroma 4:18) Inya, cigomezgo cakufuma kwa Ciuta ico Abrahamu wakaŵa naco cikakhozga cipulikano cake cakuti wazamuŵa na mphapu. Ndipo cigomezgo cikawovwira kuti cipulikano cake ciŵe cikuru. Nakuti Abrahamu na Sara ŵakaŵa na cikanga kuleka nyumba yawo na ŵabali ŵawo na kuluta kukakhala mu mahema mu caru cacilendo.
8. Kasi citatata cikukhwimiska wuli cigomezgo?
8 Abrahamu wakapulikira Yehova ndipo wakakhwima mu cigomezgo, nangauli cikaŵa cinonono kucita nthena. (Genesis 22:2, 12) Nase para tikupulikira ndipo tili na citatata pakuteŵetera Yehova, tingakhorwa kuti tizamupokera njombe. Paulosi wakalemba kuti: “Citatata cikucita cikhomeska mtima; ndipo cikhomeska mtima cikucita cigomezgo: ndipo cigomezgo kuti cikulengeska cara.” (Ŵaroma 5:4, 5) Lekani Paulosi wakalembaso kuti: “Tikukhumba kuti imwe, munthu na munthu, mulongore mwamphu weneuwo pera wa ku cigomezgo cakufikapo kuya kafika na ku umaliro.” (Ŵahebere 6:11) Usange tili na maghanoghano ghawemi agha cifukwa cakuti tili paubwezi na Yehova, tingazizipizga suzgo yiliyose kwambura wofi, nakuti tingaŵa ŵacimwemwe.
“Mu Cigomezgo Mukondwenge”
9. Kasi tikwenera kucita vici nyengo zose kuti ‘mu cigomezgo tikondwenge’?
9 Cigomezgo ico Ciuta watipa nchakuzirwa comene kuluska vyose ivyo tingasanga mu caru. Lemba la Salmo 37:34 likuti: “Lindizga [gomezga] Yehova, endanga mu nthowa yake, ndipo Iye tiwakukwezge kuti uhare caru; para ŵaheni ŵadumulika iwe tiuwonepo.” Inya, nchakwenelera nadi kuti ‘mu cigomezgo tikondwenge.’ (Ŵaroma 12:12) Kweni kuti ticite nthena, tikwenera kughanaghanira cigomezgo cithu nyengo zose. Kasi mukughanaghanira cigomezgo ico Ciuta wamupani nyengo zose? Kasi mukughanaghanapo kuti muli mu Paradiso, ndipo muli na umoyo uwemi, kwambura vitima, pamoza na ŵanthu awo ŵakumutemwani na kugwira nchito yakukhorweska? Kasi mukulangurukapo pa vithuzithuzi vya Paradiso wakutowa mu mabuku ghithu? Usange mukughanaghanira vinthu ivi nyengo na nyengo, cikuyana waka na kupuputa windo mwakuti muwonenge makora malo ghakutowa. Usange tingaleka kupuputa magilasi, fuvu na malikho vingapangiska kuti tileke kuwona makora malo ghakutowa. Tingatimbanizgika na vinthu ivi. Tileke kuzomerezga kuti ivi vicitike!
10. Cifukwa wuli para tikulindilira njombe tikulongora kuti ubwezi withu nguwemi na Yehova?
10 Cifukwa cikuru ico cikutituma kuteŵetera Yehova nchakuti tikumutemwa. (Marko 12:30) Kweni tikwenera kulindilira njombe na mtima wose. Nakuti ndivyo Yehova wakukhumba. Lemba la Ŵahebere 11:6 likuti: “Nchambura macitiko kumukondweska kwambura cipulikano: cifukwa uyo wakusendelera kwa Ciuta wakwenera kupulikana kuti waliko, ndipo kuti ngwakuŵalambula [kuŵapa njombe] ŵeneawo ŵakumupenja.” Cifukwa wuli Yehova wakukhumba kuti timuwonenge kuŵa Mupi wa njombe? Cifukwa nchakuti usange tikucita nthena, tikulongora kuti tikumumanya makora Dada withu wa kucanya. Ngwakupa ndipo wakutemwa ŵana ŵake. Ghanaghanani waka umo cingaŵira cipusu kuŵa ŵambura kukondwa ndiposo kugongowa tiŵavyenge ‘cigomezgo’ ca munthazi.—Yeremiya 29:11.
11. Kasi cigomezgo ico Ciuta wakamupa Mozesi cikamovwira wuli kucita mwamahara?
11 Munthu uyo wakaghanaghaniranga makora cigomezgo ico Ciuta wakamupa wakaŵa Mozesi. Nga ni “mwana wa mwana mwanakazi wa Faro,” Mozesi wakaŵa wamazaza, wakuzirwa, ndipo usambazi wa mu Eguputo ukaŵa mu mawoko ghake. Kasi wakasankha kusuŵilira na vinthu ivi, panji kuteŵetera Yehova? Mozesi wakasorapo kuteŵetera Yehova. Cifukwa wuli? Cifukwa cakuti “wakaghanaghananga za njombe ya kunthazi.” (Ŵahebere 11:24-26, Phangano Liphya) Inya, Mozesi wakasurako yayi cigomezgo ico Yehova wakamuŵikira panthazi zake.
12. Cifukwa wuli cigomezgo ca Ŵakhristu cili nga nchisoti?
12 Mpositole Paulosi wakayaniska cigomezgo na cikhupiko, panji cisoti. Cisoti ici cikuvikilira maghanoghano ghithu, cikutovwira kucita vinthu mwamahara, kucita dankha vinthu vyakuzirwa na kugomezgeka kwa Ciuta. (1 Ŵatesalonika 5:8) Kasi mukuvwara cisoti cinu nyengo zose? Usange ndimo mukucitira, nga ni Mozesi na Paulosi, mugomezgenge “usambazi wambura kucintha [cara], kweni . . . Ciuta, Mweneuyo wakutipa vyose vyakuzara na kuzara vyakutikondweska.” Mwakupambana na ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakutangwanika na vyawo, imwe mungadangizganga vinthu vya mwaŵene yayi, ndipo pakukhumbikwa cikanga kuti mucite ici, kweni nchakuzirwa kucita nthena. Nakuti kasi mungatemwa kusuŵilira na vinthu ivyo vingamovwirani yayi kusanga ‘umoyo weneco,’ weneuwo ŵanthu awo ŵakugomezga na kutemwa Yehova ŵakulindilira?—1 Timote 6:17, 19.
‘Ndikutayenge Cara’
13. Kasi Yehova wakuŵasimikizgira vici ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakugomezgeka?
13 Ŵanthu awo ŵakugomezga vinthu vya mgonezi uwu ŵakwenera kughanaghanira comene soka ilo likusendelera, apo caru cikulutilira kupulika “mihero,” panji vyakuŵinya. (Mateyu 24:8) Kweni awo ŵakugomezga Yehova ŵakopa yayi. Ŵalutilirenge ‘kukhala mwakufwasa; ŵaŵenge mu mtende, kwambura kopa viheni.’ (Zintharika 1:33) Pakuti cigomezgo cawo cili mu mgonezi uwu yayi, ŵakukondwa kupulikira ulongozgi wa Paulosi wakuti: ‘Ng’anamukaniko ku kutemwa ndarama: mukhorwenge na ivyo muli navyo; cifukwa Mweneco wakati, Kuti ndikutayenge cara, panji nesi kukusida nakamo kose.’—Ŵahebere 13:5.
14. Cifukwa wuli Ŵakhristu ŵakwenera kwenjerwa comene yayi na ivyo ŵakukhumba pa umoyo wawo?
14 Mazgu ghakuti “nakamo kose” ghakulongora kuti Ciuta watipwelelerenge nadi. Yesu nayo wakapanikizga kuti Ciuta wakutighanaghanira mwacitemwa, wakati: “Penjani nanga ufumu wake, na urunji wake; ndipo vyose vyeneivi [ivyo vikukhumbikwa mu umoyo] viti visazgikirengeko kwa imwe. Ntheura lekani kwenjerwera macero: cifukwa macero ghati ghajenjerwerenge ghekha.” (Mateyu 6:33, 34) Yehova wakumanya kuti nchakusuzga kuti tiŵe ŵamwamphu pa vinthu vya Ufumu, uku tikujipenjera ivyo tikukhumba. Ntheura tiyeni tiŵe na cigomezgo cose kuti ngwankhongono ndipo wakukhumba kutipwelelera.—Mateyu 6:25-32; 11:28-30.
15. Kasi Ŵakhristu ŵangacita wuli kuti ŵalutilire kuŵa na ‘jiso liwemi’?
15 Usange tili na ‘jiso liwemi,’ tikulongora kuti tikugomezga Yehova. (Mateyu 6:22, 23) Uyo wali na jiso liwemi wakuŵa mupusikizgi yayi, wakuŵa na cilato ciwemi, wakupenja vyake pera yayi. Kuŵa na jiso liwemi cikung’anamura kuŵira dara ŵakavu yayi, nesi kuleka kujipwelelera. Cikung’anamura kuŵa “ŵakuziza,” ndipo pa vinthu vyose, kuteŵetera dankha Yehova.—2 Timote 1:7.
16. Cifukwa wuli cipulikano na cikanga vikukhumbikwa kuti munthu waŵe na jiso liwemi?
16 Cikanga na cipulikano vikukhumbikwa kuti munthu waŵe na jiso liwemi. Mwaciyelezgero, usange bwana wakumucicizgani kuti mugwirenge nchito pa nyengo iyo mukwenera kuŵa ku maungano, kasi muŵenge na cikanga na kuskepelera ku vyauzimu? Para munthu wakukayika kuti Yehova wafiskenge layizgo Lake lakuti wapwelelerenge ŵateŵeti Ŵake, usange Satana wangalimbikira kumugongoweska, mbwenu wangaleka kuwungana. Usange tingaŵavya cipulikano, tingamupa mwaŵi Satana kuti watiphalirenge ivyo tikwenera kucita dankha, m’malo mwa Yehova. Ici cingaŵa ciheni comene!—2 Ŵakorinte 13:5.
‘Gomezga Yehova’
17. Kasi awo ŵakutamira mwa Yehova ŵakutumbikika wuli nanga ni sono?
17 Kanandi Malemba ghakulongora kuti awo ŵakugomezga na kutamira Yehova ŵakutondeka yayi. (Zintharika 3:5, 6; Yeremiya 17:7) Nyengo zinyake ŵakusoŵerwa, kweni ŵakuwona kuti nkhanthu yayi para ŵakughanaghanira vitumbiko ivyo ŵazamupokera. Ntheura ŵakulongora kuti ‘ŵakugomezga Yehova,’ ndipo ŵakukhorwa kuti paumaliro wazamuŵapa ‘ivyo mtima wawo ukukhumba.’ (Salmo 37:4, 34) Ntheura mbakukondwa comene nanga ni sono. “Ico ŵakucigomezga ŵarunji umaliro wake ndi cimwemwe, kweni ca ŵaheni camkuŵa vyawakawaka.”—Zintharika 10:28.
18, 19. (a) Kasi Yehova watisimikizgira vici mwacitemwa? (b) Kasi tikucita wuli kuti Yehova waŵe ku woko lithu “la malyero”?
18 Para mwana msepuka wakwenda na ŵawiske uku ŵamukora pa woko, wakopa yayi. Ndimo vikuŵira na ise apo tikwenda na Ŵadada ŵithu ŵakucanya. Yehova wakaphalira Israyeli kuti: “Ungopanga, pakuti Ine ndili nawe, ungofiwanga, cifukwa Ine ndine Ciuta wako; tindikukhozge na kukovwira, . . . Cifukwa Ine Yehova Ciuta wako, ndakukora ku woko lako la malyero; ndine nkhuti kwa iwe, ‘Ungopanga, ndine ndikovwirenge.’”—Yesaya 41:10, 13.
19 Mazgu agha ghakulongora kuti pali citemwa. Yehova wakukora munthu pa woko. Davide wakalemba kuti: “Nkhuŵika Yehova pamaso pane zuŵa na zuŵa; cifukwa Iye wali ku woko lane la [“malyero,” NW] ine ntha ndisunkhunyikenge.” (Salmo 16:8) Kasi tikucita wuli kuti Yehova waŵe ku woko lithu “la malyero”? Pali nthowa ziŵiri. Yakwamba, tikuzomera kulongozgeka na Mazgu ghake pa vinthu vyose mu umoyo withu; ndipo yaciŵiri, tikughanaghanira comene njombe ya ucindami iyo Yehova watiŵikira panthazi. Asafu wakimba kuti: ‘Ndili namwe lutaluta; mukundikora ku woko la malyero. Mundilongozgenge na vipango vinu, pamanyuma mwamkundipokelera mu ucindami.’ (Salmo 73:23, 24) Uku tili na cisimikizgo ici, tingalindilira ivyo vikwiza munthazi na cikanga.
“Kuwombokwa Kwinu Kukuneng’enera”
20, 21. Kasi awo ŵakugomezga Yehova ŵakulindilira vici?
20 Zuŵa na zuŵa, nchakukhumbikwa comene kuti Yehova waŵenge ku woko lithu la malyero. Sonosono apa, para cisopo cautesi cazakaparanyika, caru ca Satana cizamuŵa mu suzgo iyo yindaŵeko nakale. (Mateyu 24:21) Ŵanthu ŵambura cipulikano ŵazamutenthema. Kweni mu nyengo yakusuzga iyi, ŵateŵeti ŵacikanga ŵa Yehova ŵazamukondwa mu cigomezgo cawo. Yesu wakati: “Para vyeneivi vikwamba kucitika, mulaŵiske kucanya, mwinuskenge mitu yinu; pakuti kuwombokwa kwinu kukuneng’enera.”—Luka 21:28.
21 Ntheura tikondwenge mu cigomezgo ico Ciuta watipa, ndipo tileke kupusikika panji kuyezgeka na mauryarya gha Satana. Kweniso tilimbikire kukuzga cipulikano, citemwa, na kopa Ciuta. Usange tikucita nthena, tiŵenge na cikanga kuti tipulikire Yehova nyengo zose, na kwimikana na Dyabulosi. (Yakobe 4:7, 8) Inya, “khwimani, mitima yinu yiŵe yakuganga, mose imwe mukumugomezga Yehova.”—Salmo 31:24.
[Mazgu ghamusi]
a Nangauli mu Malemba gha Cigiriki lizgu lakuti “cigomezgo” kanandi likuyowoya za njombe ya kucanya ya Ŵakhristu ŵakuphakazgika, kweni mu nkhani iyi cigomezgo cikuzunulika mwacisanisani.
Kasi Mungazgora?
• Kasi cigomezgo cikamovwira wuli Yesu kuti waŵe wacikanga?
• Kasi cipulikano na cigomezgo vikukolelerana wuli?
• Kasi cigomezgo na cipulikano vingamupa wuli cikanga Mkhristu kuti wacitenge dankha vinthu vyakuzirwa?
• Cifukwa wuli awo ‘ŵakugomezga Yehova’ ŵakulindilira vyamunthazi na cikanga?
[Cithuzithuzi pa peji 26]
Kwali ndimwe ŵana panji ŵalara, kasi mukughanaghanapo kuti mwanjira mu Paradiso?
