Mwacitsandzo, Gavin atoma kugumanika pa misonkhano ya mpingo, mbwenye nee atawira kupfundza Bhibhlya. Iye alonga: “Cidziwiso canga ca Bhibhlya cikhali cakucepa kakamwe, mbwenye ndikhanyinyirika kudziwisa anango pyenepi. Ndikhagopa kuphembwa toera kupita mu uphemberi, pontho nee ndikhafuna kunyengezwa.” Ndi api maonero anu? Kodi mbamudanyerezera kuti Gavin cipo mbadatawira kupfundza Bhibhlya? Khala ndi tenepo, onani kuti pinapfundzisa Bhibhlya pinakuphedzani tani toera kukhala na maonero akulinganira. Yahova akhadapanga Aisraele: ‘Mafala anga anadzagwa ninga bume, ninga madzi anawazira tsanga.’ (Deut. 31:19, 30; 32:2) Tendeni tidinge pinthu pingasi thangwi ya bume mbatilandanisa utumiki wathu na bume toera tikwanise kuphedza mwadidi ‘anthu a mitundu yonsene.’—1 Tim. 2:3, 4.

Bume ndi yakutonthola. Utumiki wathu usathondoza anango tinganyerezera njira zakusiyana-siyana toera kuaphedza kupfundza pizinji pya undimomwene. Gavin adalonga ife pakutoma nee akakamizwa toera kutawira pfundziro ya Bhibhlya. M’mbuto mwace, Chris m’bale wakutoma adamphemba toera kupfundza naye Bhibhlya, ayesera njira zakusiyana-siyana toera Gavin akhale wakusudzuka pakucedza pya Bhibhlya.

Buluka penepo, Gavin alonga kuti ndi profesiya ya Bhibhlya idamphedza toera kunyindira kuti Bhibhlya ndi yandimomwene. Pyenepi pyacitisa kuti acedze pizinji pya kukwanirisika kwa maprofesiya. Kucedza kweneku kwathondoza Gavin, pakumalisira iye atawira pfundziro ya Bhibhlya.
Bume ndi yakufunika kakamwe mu umaso. M’midzidzi ya malimwe, n’dziko ya Israele madzi nee asabvumba mu nthanda zizinji. Pangakhonda kuoneka mathotho a bume, tsanga isabunyala mbifa. Lero, kusaonekambo cilala cauzimu, ninga mukhadalonga Yahova.

Kodi tisapasa ntengo mphangwa zenezi?
Bume ndi nkhombo yakubuluka kwa Yahova. (Deut. 33:13) Utumiki wathu unakwanisa kukhala nkhombo kuna ale anatawira. Gavin atambira nkhombo ineyi. Pakupfundza kwace Bhibhlya, iye agumana matawiro a mibvundzo yace yonsene. Mwakukhonda dembuka, athambaruka mbabatizwa, lero iye na nkazace anacemerwa Joyce asatsandzaya mukumwaza mphangwa zadidi za Umambo.
