Gwilitsilani Nchito Mau a Mulungu—Ndi Amoyo
“Mau a Mulungu ndi amoyo ndi amphamvu.”—AHEB. 4:12.
1, 2. Ndi nchito yotani imene Yehova anapatsa Mose? Nanga anam’tsimikizila za ciani?
TIYELEKEZELE kuti mufunikila kukakamba ndi wolamulila wamphamvu padziko lonse lapansi, moimilako anthu a Mulungu. Kodi mungamve bwanji? Mwacionekele, mungakhale ndi nkhawa, mungacite mantha, ndipo mungadzione kuti ndinu wosayenelela. Kodi mungakonzekele bwanji mau amene mudzakamba? Nanga mungacitenji kuti mukakambe mwamphamvu monga woimilako Mulungu wamphamvuyonse?
2 Izi n’zimene zinacitikila Mose. Iye anali “munthu wofatsa kwambili kuposa anthu onse amene anali padziko lapansi.” Yehova anamuuza kuti apite kwa Farao kuti akapulumutse anthu a Mulungu opondelezedwa, amene anali akapolo ku Iguputo. (Num. 12:3) Zimene zinacitika zinaonetsa kuti Farao anali munthu woipa mtima ndi wodzikuza. (Eks. 5:1, 2). Ngakhale n’conco, Yehova anauza Mose kuti apite akalamule Farao, kuti amasule anthu a Mulungu pafupifupi 3 miliyoni amene anali mu ukapolo. N’zomveka kuti Mose anafunsa Yehova kuti: “Ndine ndani ine kuti ndipite kwa Farao ndi kutulutsa ana a Isiraeli ku Iguputo?” Mose ayenela kuti anadziona kuti ndi wosayenelela ndipo sangakwanitse. Koma Yehova anam’tsimikizila kuti sadzakhala yekha pamene anamuuza kuti: “Ndidzakhala nawe.”—Eks. 3:9-12.
3, 4. (a) N’cifukwa ciani Mose anacita mantha? (b) Ndi pa cocitika citi pamene mungamve monga mmene Mose anamvelela?
3 N’cifukwa ciani Mose anacita mantha? Mwacionekele, anali kuopa kuti Farao sadzam’landila ndi kumumvela monga woimilako Yehova Mulungu. Mose anali kuopanso kuti anthu a mtundu wake sadzakhulupilila kuti Yehova anam’sankha kuwatsogolela kutuluka mu Iguputo. Conco, Mose anauza Yehova kuti: “Bwanji ngati sakandikhulupilila ndi kumvela mau anga? Cifukwatu adzanena kuti, ‘Yehova sanaonekele kwa iwe.’”—Eks. 3:15-18; 4:1.
4 Nanga bwanji inu? Mwina simungafunikile kupita kukakamba ndi wolamulila wamphamvu. Koma bwanji ngati mumalephela kukamba ndi anthu a m’gawo lanu za Yehova ndi Ufumu wake? Ngati n’conco, onani zimene tingaphunzile pa nkhani ya Mose.
‘N’CIANI ICO CILI M’DZANJA LAKO?’
5. Kodi Yehova anaika ciani m’dzanja la Mose? Nanga zimenezo zinathetsa bwanji mantha ake? (Onani cithunzi kuciyambi kwa nkhani ino.)
5 Pamene Mose anauza Yehova kuti anali kuopa kuti anthu sadzam’khulupilila, Mulungu anam’konzekeletsa ndi zimene zinali kubwela. Nkhani ya pa Ekisodo imati: “Yehova anamufunsa [Mose] kuti: ‘Cili m’dzanja lakoco n’ciani?’ ndipo Mose anayankha kuti: ‘Ndodo.’ Kenako iye anati: ‘Iponye pansi.’ Anaiponya pansi ndipo inasanduka njoka. Pamenepo Mose anayamba kuthaŵa. Ndiyeno Yehova anauza Mose kuti: ‘Igwile kumcila.’ Conco Mose anaigwila, ndipo inasandukanso ndodo m’dzanja lake. Popitiliza Mulungu anati: ‘Ukacite zimenezi kuti akakhulupilile kuti Yehova . . . anaonekela kwa iwe.’” (Eks. 4:2-5) Motelo, Mulungu anaika m’dzanja la Mose umboni woonetsa kuti uthenga wake unali wocokela kwa Yehova. Cimene cinali kuoneka ngati ndodo wamba cinasanduka njoka cifukwa ca mphamvu ya Mulungu. Cozizwitsa cimeneci cikanaonetsa kuti Mose anatumidwadi ndi Mulungu ndi kuti iye anali naye. Conco, Yehova anauza Mose kuti: “Ndodo iyi izikakhala m’dzanja lako kuti ukaigwilitse nchito pocita zizindikilo.” (Eks. 4:17) Ndi umboni umenewu, Mose anali ndi cidalilo cakuti angapite kukakamba ndi Farao ndiponso ndi anthu a Mulungu.—Eks. 4:29-31; 7:8-13.
6. (a) Polalikila tiyenela kukhala ndi ciani m’dzanja lathu? N’cifukwa ninji? (b) Kodi “mau a Mulungu ndi amoyo” motani? Ndipo “ndi amphamvu” motani?
6 Funso limeneli lakuti: “Cili m’dzanja lakoco n’ciani”? lingafunsidwenso kwa ife tikapita kukalalikila uthenga wa m’Baibulo kwa ena. Nthawi zambili, timakhala ndi Baibulo m’dzanja lathu kuti tiligwilitsile nchito. Ena amaona Baibulo ngati buku wamba, koma Yehova amalankhula nafe kupyolela m’Mau ake ouzilidwa olembedwa mmenemo. (2 Pet. 1:21) Baibulo lili ndi malonjezo a Mulungu amene adzakwanilitsidwa mu Ufumu wake. Ndiye cifukwa cake mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti: “Mau a Mulungu ndi amoyo ndi amphamvu.” (Ŵelengani Aheberi 4:12.) Malonjezo onse a Yehova amakwanilitsidwa cifukwa iye akupitilizabe kugwila nchito kuti awakwanilitse. (Yes. 46:10; 55:11) Munthu akadziŵa mfundo zopezeka m’Mau a Yehova, zimene amaŵelenga m’Baibulo zimakhudza kwambili umoyo wake.
7. Tingacitenji kuti ‘tizifotokoza bwino mau a coonadi’?
7 Yehova waika m’dzanja lathu Mau ake amoyo amene aonetsa kuti uthenga wathu ndi wodalilika, ndipo umacokeladi kwa iye. Ndiye cifukwa cake, pamene Paulo anali kuphunzitsa Timoteyo, anam’limbikitsa kuti ‘azifotokoza bwino mau a coonadi.’ (2 Tim. 2:15) Nanga ifenso tingatsatile motani malangizo a Paulo? Tingacite zimenezi mwa kuŵelengela anthu malemba oyenelela amene angawafike pamtima. Tumapepala twa uthenga tumene tunatuluka mu 2013, tunakonzedwa kuti tutithandize kucita zimenezi.
ŴELENGANI LEMBA LOYENELELA
8. Woyang’anila nchito wina anati ciani ponena za tumapepala twauthenga?
8 Tumapepala tonse twatsopano twauthenga tunalembedwa mofanana. Conco, tikadziŵa mmene tingagwilitsile nchito kapepala kamodzi, ndiye kuti tadziŵa tonse. Tumapepalatu ndi tosavuta kutugwilitsila nchito. Woyang’anila nchito wina wa ku Hawaii, U.S.A., analemba kuti: “Sitinadziŵe kuti tumapepala tumenetu tudzakhala tothandiza mu ulaliki wa kunyumba ndi nyumba, ndi wa mu mseu.” Iye waona kuti mmene tumapepala tumenetu anatulembela, tumacititsa anthu kukhala ofunitsitsa kukambitsilana. Ndipo zimenezi zimathandiza kukhala ndi makambilano ogwila mtima. Iye waona kuti funso ndi mayankho patsamba loyamba zimathandizanso eninyumba kumasuka poyankha.
9, 10. (a) Tumapepala twauthenga tumatilimbikitsa motani kugwilitsila nchito Baibulo? (b) Ndi tumapepala tuti tumene mwaona kuti ndi tothandiza? Ndipo n’cifukwa ninji?
9 Kapepala kalikonse kamatilimbikitsa kuŵelenga lemba loyenelela. Mwacitsanzo, onani kapepala kakuti Kodi Mavuto Adzathadi? Kaya mwininyumba ayankhe kuti “inde,” “iyai,” kapena “kaya,” tembenukilani patsamba la mkati popanda kufotokoza ciliconse ndipo kambani kuti, “Onani zimene Baibulo limanena.” Kenako ŵelengani Chivumbulutso 21:3, 4.
10 N’cimodzimodzi ndi kapepala kakuti Kodi Baibo Mumaiona Bwanji? Yankho lililonse limene mwininyumba angapeleke pa mayankho atatuwo, tembenukilani patsamba la mkati ndi kukamba kuti, “Baibulo limanena kuti ‘Malemba onse anauzilidwa ndi Mulungu.’” Mwina mungakambenso kuti, “Lembali lili ndi zambili.” Ndiyeno tsegulani lemba la 2 Timoteyo 3:16, 17.
11, 12. (a) Tumapepala twauthenga tungathandize motani kuti ulaliki wanu ukhale wokondweletsa? (b) Nanga tungakuthandizeni bwanji kukonzekela maulendo obwelelako?
11 Zimene mwininyumba angayankhe zidzakuthandizani kudziŵa zimene mungaŵelenge ndi kukambilana m’kapepalako. Mulimonse mmene zingakhalile, m’malo mongopatsa anthu tumapepala, ndi bwino kuŵelenga nao Baibulo. Pa ulendo woyamba mungaŵelenge lemba limodzi kapena aŵili. Paulendo wotsatila mungakambilane zoonjezeleka.
12 Pa tsamba lothela lililonse pali kamutu kakuti “Ganizilani Funso Ili.” Pansi pa kamutu kameneka pali funso ndi malemba amene tingakambilane paulendo wobwelelako. Tikagaŵila kapepala kakuti Kodi Zinthu Zidzakhala Bwanji Mtsogolo?, paulendo wobwelelako tingafunse kuti: “Kodi Mulungu adzasintha bwanji dziko lathu kuti likhale labwino?” Aikapo Mateyu 6:9, 10 ndi Danieli 2:44.

13. Fotokozani mmene tingagwilitsile nchito tumapepala twauthenga kuti tiyambitse maphunzilo a Baibulo.
13 Tumapepala twauthenga tungatithandize kuyambitsa maphunzilo a Baibulo. Munthu akagwilitsila nchito kacidindo kamene kali patsamba lothela, kadzamtsogolela pa Webusaiti yathu. Ndipo iyo idzam’limbikitsa kuti ayambe kuphunzila Baibulo.

Anthu ndi okondwela kwambili.’ Izi ndi zimene Baibulo limakamba pa Yesaya 14:7. Ndipo m’Baibulo muli malonjezo ambili a Mulungu onena za nthawi ya mtsogolo imene padziko padzakhala mtendele.” Ndiyeno m’pempheni kuti muŵelenge naye limodzi la malonjezo amenewo m’Baibulo.
17. Pokambilana ndi anthu, tingaloŵetsemo bwanji lemba la Mateyu 5:3?
17 Kodi amuna ambili a m’gawo lanu amavutika kuti apeze zinthu zofunika paumoyo? Ngati n’conco, mungayambe makambilano anu mwa kufunsa kuti: “Ndi ndalama zingati zimene mwamuna ayenela kukhala nazo kuti banja lake likhale lacimwemwe?” Munthuyo akayankha mungakambe kuti: “Amuna ambili amapeza ndalama zoposa zimenezo, koma mabanja ao sakhutila nazo. Nanga cofunika makamaka n’ciani?” Ndiyeno ŵelengani Mateyu 5:3 ndi kuyambitsa phunzilo.

Nanga zimenezo zingatheke bwanji?” Ndiyeno muonetseni phunzilo logwilizana ndi nkhaniyo m’kabuku ka Uthenga Wabwino.
19. Fotokozani mmene tingagwilitsile nchito Chivumbulutso 14:6, 7 pokambilana ndi anthu okonda zacipembedzo.
19 Ngati mumakhala kudela kumene anthu amakonda zacipembedzo, mungayambe makambilano anu mwa kufunsa kuti: “Ngati mngelo akamba ndi inu, kodi mungamvetsele zimene akukuuzani?
