AKLISTU ŵasyesyene akwete cembeceyo cambone mnope. Wosopewe, cinga ŵasagulwe kapena ‘ŵangondolo sine’ tukwembeceya kuti citulole kwanilicikwa kwa lisosa lya Mlungu lyandanda soni kuswejesyedwa kwa lina lya Yehofa. (Yoh. 10:16; Mat. 6:9, 10) Yindu yatukwembeceyayi yili yapenani mnope soni yakusosekwa kwa mundu jwalijose. Tukwembeceyasoni kupocela mbote ja umi wangamala cinga kwinani kapena pacilambo capasi. (2 Pet. 3:13) Nambo pandaŵi ajino, tukwembeceya kulola mwele Mlungu ciŵalongoleleje soni kwakamucisya ŵandu ŵakwe.
2 Ŵandu ŵali ku mbali ja cilambo ca Satanaci akwetesoni cembeceyo, nambo ngakusaŵa ŵakusimicisya naga yakwembeceyayo yicikwanilicikwa.

(Aga. 5:22) Baibulo jangasala kuti Yehofa akwete kapena akusosekwa kola cikulupi. Ligongo lyakuti Yehofa ali jwamaciligose soni jwalunda, pangali campaka cimlepelekasye kwanilisya lisosa lyakwe. Atati ŵetu ŵakwinani pakusala kuti cacikwanilisya yaŵatulagucisye, yikusaŵa mpela akuŵeceta kuti, ‘yikwanilicikwe!’ (Aŵalanje Ciunukuko 21:3-6.) Cikulupi ca Aklistu cikusajegamila pa kumanyilila kuti Yehofa ali ‘Mlungu jwakulupicika,’ jwele ndaŵi syosope akusakwanilisya yiliyose yatulagucisye.—Deut. 7:9.
KULIJIGANYA KUTYOCELA KWA ŴANDU ŴAKALA ŴAŴAKWETE CIKULUPI
4. Ana acalume ni acakongwe ŵakulupicika ŵa mu ndaŵi jakala ŵakwete cembeceyo catuli?
4 Caputala 11 ca buku ja Ahebeli cana mena ga acalume ni acakongwe ŵacikulupi ŵakwana 16. Juŵalembile bukuji ŵasasilesoni ya ŵandu ŵane ŵajinji “ŵaŵatendele umboni ligongo lya cikulupi cawo.” (Ahe. 11:39) Wosopeŵa ‘nganakayicilaga’ yakuti Mlungu cacipeleka “mbeju” jelagucisye kuti cijikase Satana jwakusisya soni wosope ŵali ku mbali jakwe ni kwanilisya lisosa lyandanda lya Yehofa. (Gen. 3:15) Ŵandu ŵakulupicikaŵa ŵawile “mbeju” jelagucisyejo, Yesu Klistu, mkanawugule litala lya ku umi wakwinani. (Aga. 3:16) Nambope, tukuyamicila yiŵalagucisye Yehofa, ligongo cacajimusya jemanjaji kuti catame pacilambo capasi ca paladaiso.—Sal. 37:11; Yes. 26:19; Hos. 13:14

5 Lilemba lya Ahebeli 11:13 likusasala ya ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵapali Ciklistu mkanicitande. Likusati, “Wosopeŵa ŵawile ali akwete cikulupi. Atamose kuti nganapocela yaŵalagucisye, nambope ŵayiwonaga pakutalicila soni kuyipocela.” Jumo mwa ŵandu ŵeleŵa ŵaliji Abulahamu. Ana jwalakwe ŵaganicisyaga ya cembeceyo cakusangalasya ca kola umi pacilambo, pasi pa ulamusi wa “mbeju” jelagucisye? Yesu ŵajanjile cenene ciwusyoci paŵasalile ŵakumsisya ŵakwe kuti, “Abulahamu mtati jwenu ŵasangalele mnope pakwembeceya kulola lisiku lyangu, soni ŵaliweni ni kusangalala.” (Yoh. 8:56) Yeleyi ni yaŵatesilesoni Sala, Isaki, Yakobo, ni ŵane ŵajinji ŵaŵajembeceyaga kwika kwa Ucimwene ‘wele mkupanganya soni mkutaŵa jwakwe ali Mlungu.’—Ahe. 11:8-11.
6 Ana cici cacamkamucisye Abulahamu ni liŵasa lyakwe kola cikulupi cakulimba? Mwangakayicila, jemanjaji ŵalijiganyaga ya Mlungu kutyocela kwa ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵakulupicika soni mu yakulemba yakala. Nambosoni Mlungu ŵaŵecetaga ni jemanjaji pakamulicisya masengo malayika, sagamisi, kapena mesomkulola. Abulahamu ni liŵasa lyakwe nganaliŵalila yaŵalijiganyisye, nambo ŵasangalalaga ni yilanga ya Mlungu soni ŵayiganicisyaga mwakusokoka. Ligongo lyakuti jemanjaji nganakayicilaga ya yindu yaŵajembeceyaga, ŵaliji ŵakoseka kusimana ni yakusawusya yiliyose kuti ajendelecele kuŵa ŵakulupicika kwa Mlungu.
7. Ana Yehofa mwacinonyelo apelece yindu yapi yampaka yikusye cikulupi cetu, soni ana tukusosekwa kutenda cici ni yinduyi?
7 Kuti tukole cikulupi cakulimba, Yehofa mwacinonyelo atupele Maloŵe gakwe, Baibulo. Mpaka tuŵe “ŵakusangalala” nambosoni kola “umi wambone” naga tukuŵalanga Maloŵe ga Mlungu mwakutamilicika lisiku lililyose. (Sal. 1:1-3; aŵalanje Masengo 17:11.)

Yehofa akusatupasoni cakulya causimu capandaŵi jakwe kupitila mwa “kapolo jwakulupicika ni jwalunda.” (Mat. 24:45) Yisyene, naga tukusakuwona kusosekwa kwa yindu yausimu yatupele Yehofa, tuciŵa mpela ŵandu ŵakala ŵaŵakwete cikulupi soni cembeceyo ca Ucimwene wamsogolo.
8. Ana lipopelo mpaka lilimbisye catuli cikulupi cetu?
8 Lipopelo lyakamucisyesoni mnope ŵakutumicila ŵa Yehofa ŵakala kuti akole cikulupi cakulimba. Jemanjaji paŵayiwonaga mwaŵajanjilaga Mlungu mapopelo gawo, cikulupi cawo calimbaga. (Neh. 1:4, 11; Sal. 34:4, 15, 17; Dan. 9:19-21) M’wejisoni mpaka tumkusulileje Yehofa yosope yayikutulagasya nganisyo, pakumanyilila kuti jwalakwe catupikane soni catulimbisye kuti tukombole kupilila soni kuti tuŵe ŵakusangalala. Mlungu pajanjile mapopelo getu, cikulupi cetu cikusalimba mnope. (Aŵalanje 1 Yohane 5:14, 15.) Ligongo lyakuti cikulupi cili mbali ja yisogosi ya msimu, tukusosekwa ‘kwendelecela kum’ŵenda’ Mlungu kuti atupe msimuwo mpela muŵatulimbikacisye Yesu.—Luk. 11:9, 13.

Tukusosekwa kum’yamicila soni kumlumba Yehofa lisiku lililyose ligongo lya ‘masengo gakwe gakusimonjesya’ gele ‘nganituŵa tukombwele kugalondesya.’ (Sal. 40:5) Mapopelo getu gakusosekwasoni kulosya kuti ‘tukwakumbucila ŵali kundende, mpela kuti tutaŵidwe nawo yimpepe.’ Tukusosekwasoni kwapopelela abale ni alongo pacilambo cosope, mnopemnope ‘ŵakulongolela pasikati petu.’ Tukusasangalala mnope kuyiwona mwele Yehofa akusajanjila mapopelo gatukusapeleka.—Ahe. 13:3, 7.

Mwambone, jwalakwe ŵasasile ya acakongwe ŵane ŵacikulupi ŵele ŵanace ŵawo ŵacalume ŵawile nambo kaneko ŵajimwice ku ŵawe. Ŵasasilesoni ya ŵane ‘ŵaŵakanile kwasa cikulupi cawo kuti ŵagopole. Ŵatesile yeleyi pakusaka kuti cajimuce ku ŵawe, kwakuli kwimuka kwambone mnope.’ (Ahe. 11:35) Ngatukumanyilila kuti Paulo ŵaganicisyaga ya ŵani, nambo pana ŵandu mpela Naboti soni Sekaliya ŵaŵasomedwe maganga mpaka kuwa ligongo lyakuti ŵapikanilaga Mlungu soni kutenda lisosa lyakwe. (1 Maf. 21:3, 15; 2 Mbiri 24:20, 21) Daniyele ni acimjakwe akakombolece ‘gopoledwa’ naga akakunde kuŵa ŵangakulupicika kwa Mlungu. Nambo ligongo lyakulupilila macili ga Mlungu, mpaka tujile kuti jemanjaji ‘ŵasiŵile pakamwa pa masimba’ soni ‘ŵamasisye ukali wa moto.’—Ahe. 11:33, 34; Dan. 3:16-18, 20, 28; 6:13, 16, 21-23.

Wosopeŵa ŵapilile ligongo ‘nganakayicilaga ya yindu yaŵajembeceyaga.’—Ahe. 11:1, 36-38; 1 Maf. 18:13; 22:24-27; Yer. 20:1, 2; 28:10, 11; 32:2.
12. Ana ŵani ŵali cisyasyo cambone mnope ca kupilila yakulingwa campaka tucikuye, soni ana cici cacamkamucisye kutenda m’yoyo?

Lilemba lya Ahebeli 12:2 likusasala kuti ‘Ligongo lya cisangalalo caŵam’ŵicile pasogolo pakwe, ŵapilile pacitela cakulagacisya. Nganasamala kuti yakutesya sooni yikumtendecela, soni jwatemi ku mkono wa mlyo wa citengu ca Mlungu.’ Elo, tukusosekwa ‘kuganicisya cenene’ cisyasyo ca Yesu cakola cikulupi patukusimana ni yakulingwa yekulungwa. (Aŵalanje Ahebeli 12:3.) Mwakulandanasoni ni Yesu, Aklistu ŵakala mpela jwakulijiganya Antipa, ŵawulajidwe ligongo lyakuŵa ŵakulupicika kwa Yehofa. (Ciu. 2:13) Jemanjaji ŵapocele kala mbote jawo ja umi wakwinani kulekangana ni ŵakutumicila ŵa Mlungu ŵakala ŵaŵajembeceyaga umi wapacilambo capasi. (Ahe. 11:35) Panyuma pakuti Ucimwene wa Mlungu upagwile mu 1914, wosope ŵasagulwe ŵakulupicika ŵaŵaliji ali awile ŵajimucisidwe ku umi wausimu kwinani kukulamulila yimpepe ni Yesu.—Ciu. 20:4.

Yosopeyi yaliji pamtendele soni yalongoleledwaga ni kamnyamata. . . .
