1, 2. (a) Kodi atumiki a Yehova amasangalala kuchita chiyani? (b) Kodi n’chiyani chimene Yehova amaona kuti n’chofunika kwambiri?

 KUYAMBIRA kale kwambiri atumiki a Yehova okhulupirika akhala akusangalala kumanga nyumba zimene zimalemekeza dzina lake. Mwachitsanzo, Aisiraeli anasangalala kuthandiza nawo pomanga chihema ndiponso kupereka zinthu zosiyanasiyana zofunikira pa ntchitoyi.​—Eks. 35:30-35; 36:1, 4-7.

² Sikuti kwenikweni Yehova amaona kuti zipangizo zomangirazo ndi zimene zimalemekeza dzina lake ndipo samaona kuti zinthu zimenezi ndi zimene zili zofunika kwambiri. (Mat. 23:16, 17) Chimene Yehova amaona kuti n’chofunika kwambiri ndi kulambira kumene atumiki ake amachita, kudzipereka kwawo komanso kugwira kwawo ntchito mwakhama. Zimenezi zili ngati mphatso za mtengo wapatali zimene zimalemekeza dzina la Yehova. (Eks. 35:21; Maliko 12:41-44; 1 Tim. 6:17-19) Mfundo imeneyi ndi yomveka chifukwa nyumba zimene zimamangidwazo zimatha m’kupita kwa nthawi. Mwachitsanzo, chihema komanso kachisi uja panopa kulibe koma Yehova sanaiwale kuwolowa manja komanso ntchito yaikulu imene atumiki ake okhulupirika anagwira pomanga zinthu zimenezi.​—Werengani 1 Akorinto 15:58; Aheberi 6:10.

3. Kodi tikambirana chiyani m’mutu umenewu?

Tionanso zimene anthu ena omwe anagwira nawo ntchito imeneyi ananena.

4. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani tikufunikira malo ambiri olambirira? (b) N’chifukwa chiyani nthambi zambiri zaphatikizidwa? (Onani bokosi lakuti, “ Kusintha kwa Maofesi a Nthambi.”)

⁴ Monga mmene tinaonera m’Mutu 16, Yehova amafuna kuti tizisonkhana n’kumamulambira. (Aheb. 10:25) Misonkhano imeneyi sikuti imangolimbitsa chikhulupiriro chathu basi, koma imatilimbikitsanso kugwira ntchito yolalikira. Pamene masiku otsiriza akupita kumapeto, Yehova akupitiriza kulimbikitsa anthu ake kuti ntchitoyi igwiridwe mwachangu. Zimenezi zachititsa kuti anthu ambiri azilowa m’gulu lake chaka chilichonse.  (Yes. 60:22) Kuchuluka kwa nzika za Ufumu kumeneku kukuchititsa kuti pafunike kumanga nyumba zina zosindikizira mabuku athu. Pakufunikanso kuwonjezera malo olambirirako.

5. N’chifukwa chiyani dzina lakuti Nyumba ya Ufumu lili loyenerera? (Onaninso bokosi lakuti, “ Tchalitchi cha Kuwala Kwatsopano.”)

⁵ Gulu la masiku ano la anthu a Yehova litangoyamba, Ophunzira Baibulo anayamba kuona kufunika kokhala ndi malo awoawo osonkhana. Zikuoneka kuti malo osonkhanira oyamba kumangidwa anali a ku West Virginia, ku America, omwe anamangidwa mu 1890. Pofika m’zaka za m’ma 1930, anthu a Yehova anali atamanga kapena kukonzanso nyumba zambiri koma nyumba zolambirira zimenezi zinalibe dzina lapadera. Koma mu 1935, M’bale Rutherford anapita ku Hawaii komwe abale ankamanga nyumba yolambirira komanso ofesi ya nthambi yatsopano. M’bale Rutherford atafunsidwa za dzina limene angapereke ku nyumbayo anayankha kuti: “Bwanji titaitchula kuti ‘Nyumba ya Ufumu’? Chifukwatu ndi zimene tikuchita. Tikulalikira uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu.” (Mat. 24:14) Pasanapite nthawi dzina loyenerera limeneli linayamba kuperekedwa ku nyumba zambiri zimene  zinkagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi mipingo ya anthu a Yehova padziko lonse.

6, 7. Kodi pulogalamu yomanga Nyumba za Ufumu mofulumira yathandiza bwanji?

⁶ Pofika m’zaka za m’ma 1970, panayamba kufunika Nyumba za Ufumu zambiri. Zimenezi zinachititsa kuti abale a ku United States akonze njira zomangira mwachangu nyumba zokongola komanso zogwirizana ndi ntchito yake. Pofika m’chaka cha 1983, nyumba pafupifupi 200 zinali zitamangidwa ku United States ndi ku Canada. Kuti ntchitoyi iziyenda bwino, abale anayamba kukhazikitsa makomiti oyang’anira ntchito ya zomangamanga. Njira imeneyi inathandiza kwambiri moti mu 1986, Bungwe Lolamulira linavomereza dongosolo limeneli ndipo pofika chaka cha 1987, ku United States kunali kutakhazikitsidwa Makomiti Omanga Achigawo okwana 60. a Pofika m’chaka cha 1992 makomiti ena anali atakhazikitsidwa ku Argentina, ku Australia, ku France, ku Germany, ku Japan, ku Mexico, ku South Africa ndi ku Spain. Kunena zoona, timafunika kuthandiza abale amene akugwira ntchito mwakhama m’makomiti omanga Nyumba za Ufumu komanso Malo a Misonkhano chifukwa ntchito imene akugwirayo ndi utumiki wopatulika.

⁷ Nyumba za Ufumu zomangidwa mwachangu zimenezi zimachitira umboni kwa anthu a m’deralo. Mwachitsanzo, nyuzipepala ina ya ku Spain inali ndi nkhani ya mutu wakuti “Chikhulupiriro Chimasuntha Mapiri.” Poikira ndemanga mmene Nyumba ya Ufumu ya m’tauni ya Martos inamangidwira, nyuzipepalayo inanena kuti: “Kodi zingatheke bwanji kuti padzikoli, lomwe anthu ake ambiri ndi odzikonda, anthu ongodzipereka ochokera m’madera osiyanasiyana [a m’dziko la Spain] apite ku tauni ya  Martos n’kukamanga nyumba yomwe yaposa nyumba zonse pa nkhani ya kumalizidwa pa nthawi yochepa kwambiri, kumangidwa bwino komanso mwadongosolo?” Nkhaniyi inayankha funso limeneli pogwira mawu a wa Mboni wina yemwe anadzipereka kugwira nawo ntchitoyi. Iye anati: “Zonsezi zatheka chifukwa chakuti timaphunzitsidwa ndi Yehova.”

8. Kodi Bungwe Lolamulira linavomereza chiyani m’chaka cha 1999, ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani?

⁸ Pamene timafika kumapeto kwa zaka za m’ma 1900, anthu ambiri a m’mayiko osauka anayamba kulowa m’gulu la Yehova. Abale a m’mipingo ina anayesetsa kumanga malo oti azisonkhanako. Koma m’mayiko ena, abale ndi alongo ankanyozedwa komanso kusalidwa chifukwa Nyumba zawo za Ufumu zinali zosaoneka bwino poyerekeza ndi malo amene anthu a m’zipembedzo zina ankapemphererapo. Koma kuyambira m’chaka cha 1999, Bungwe Lolamulira linavomereza pulogalamu yothandiza kuti ntchito yomanga Nyumba za Ufumu m’mayiko osauka izichitika mofulumira. Kuti zimenezi zitheke anayamba kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zochokera m’mayiko olemera kuti pakhale “kufanana” pa kumangidwa kwa Nyumba za Ufumu m’mayiko olemera ndi m’mayiko osauka. (Werengani 2 Akorinto 8:13-15.) Abale ndi alongo ochokera m’mayiko ena anadzipereka kuti agwire nawo ntchito yomangayi.

9. Kodi ndi ntchito iti imene inkaoneka ngati yosatheka, koma kodi anthu a Mulungu akwanitsa kuchita chiyani?

⁹ Poyamba, ntchitoyi inkaoneka kuti ndi yaikulu kwambiri. Lipoti la mu 2001 linasonyeza kuti pankafunika Nyumba za Ufumu zoposa 18,300 m’mayiko 88 osauka. Chifukwa chakuti mzimu wa Mulungu komanso Mfumu yathu Yesu Khristu  akutithandiza, palibe ntchito yosatheka. (Mat. 19:26) Kuchokera mu 1999 kufika mu 2013, zomwe ndi zaka pafupifupi 15 zokha, anthu a Mulungu akwanitsa kumanga Nyumba za Ufumu zokwana 26,849. b Yehova akupitirizabe kudalitsa ntchito yolalikira ndipo pofika chaka cha 2013, panali pakufunikirabe Nyumba za Ufumu zina pafupifupi 6,500 m’mayiko osauka ndipo panopa, chaka chilichonse pamafunika Nyumba za Ufumu zina zambirimbiri.
