Vanalumuna majina kaha, mwomwo vapilishitu vamukwitava chamakuli vanapu jino vapilishitu vavaka-Kulishitu, kaha vilika vyavo vinapu jino vilika vyavaka-Kulishitu. Chilika chimwe shina Kulisimasi.” Chihande chakwamba ngwavo, “Likumbi * Oloze ava Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vachipwile lika nakulinga chilika chaKulisimasi. Navaka-Mbetele muBrooklyn valingilenga chilika kana. Oloze kufuma mu 1926 vyuma vyalumukile. Mwomwo ika?
Muka Asemukile Yesu?,” chize chapwile muKaposhi Kakutalila mu 1883 chambile ngwacho, Yesu asemukile kukuputuka chaOctober.9. Vyuma muka vatachikijile jino Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya hachilika chaKulisimasi?
9 Omu Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vakekesele kanawa, vatachikijile ngwavo chilika chaKulisimasi chafuma kuvatu vaze kavalemeselenga Kalungako. Chihande chakwamba ngwavo “Kwafuma Kulisimasi,” chize chapwile muTonenu! yaDecember 14, 1927 chambile ngwacho, Kulisimasi yapwa chilika chavatu vaze kavalemesa Kalungako, chavaka-viseke, navaka-kulemesa tuponya. Chahanjikile nawa ngwacho, Yesu katushikile tulingenga echi chilikako, kaha chakukulwile ngwacho: “Hakuwana nge echi chilika chaKulisimasi vachikundwiza kuli vaka-kaye, vafwila vyautu, naLiyavolo, . . . ngocho vaze valihana kumulimo waYehova namichima yavo yosena vatela kulihenda kuchilika kana.” Evi vikiko vyalingishile vaka-Mbetele valitwamine kulinga echi chilika.
10. (a) Vyuma muka vatachikijile kanawa haKulisimasi muDecember 1928? (Talenu nawa lipwata “ [lya]Kwafuma Kulisimasi Novyo Yemanyinako.”) (b) Vatu jaKalunga vavalwezele vyuma muka hamakumbi eka akunoka aze vatelele kulihendako? (Talenu lipwata “ [lya]Makumbi Eka Akunoka.”)
10 Mwaka wakavangijileho, Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vatachikijile kanawa ovyo chapwilile chakuhenga kulinga Kulisimasi. HaDecember 12, 1928, Ndumbwetu Richard H. Barber, uze apwilenga hachikota chetu, ahanjikile chihande hachisaji chize chalumbunwine kanawa nge vatu vavapi vakiko vaputukile echi chilika. Uno vatu jaKalunga vakwile ngachilihi kuvyuma evi vavahuhumwine kufuma kuchikota chetu? Ndumbwetu Charles Brandlein natanga yenyi valitwaminyine Yowa. 15:19; 17:14.
kulinga Kulisimasi, kaha ambile ngwenyi: “Kachatukaluhwilile numba hahandende kulitwamina echi chilika chavaze kavalemesa Kalungako. . . . Twachimbilile, ngana muze mutu mwambila uvwalo wamajilo.” Ndumbwetu Henry A. Cantwell, uze apwile kalama wakutambwojoka mukuhita chamyaka ambile ngwenyi: “Twalisuwile kumbila vyuma vize vyapwile vyakuhenga nakusolola ngwetu twazangile Yehova.” Vaka-kukavangiza Kulishitu vakushishika valisuwile kwalumuna chiyoyelo chavo nakulitwamina kulinga Kulisimasi yize yafuma kukwitava chamakuli.[4]—11. Natusolola ngachilihi ngwetu tunakukundwiza Mwangana Meshiya?
11 Ava Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vatusela chakutalilaho chamwaza chikuma. Omu natushinganyekanga hachakutalilaho chavo, tulihulisenu ngwetu: ‘Ngweji kumonanga ngachilihi jindongi jakufuma kuchikota chetu? Kutala ngweji kujitavilanga nakukavangiza vyuma veji kutunangulanga nyi?’ Nge natulisuula nakwononoka, kaha natusolola ngwetu tunakukundwiza Mwangana Meshiya uze anakuzachisa ndungo wakushishika atuhane kulya chakushipilitu halwola lwakutamo.—Vili. 16:4, 5.
Chakutamo Vaka-Kulishitu Kuzachisa Kulusu Tahi?
12. Hamyaka yayivulu, Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vamwene ngachilihi kulusu?
12 Hamyaka yayivulu, Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vamwenenga ngwavo chapwile chakutamo kuzachisa kulusu. Vatachikijile vene ngwavo chapwa chakuhenga kulemesa kulusu, mwomwo chapwa kulemesa makombelo. (Koli. 1, 10:14; Yowa. 1, 5:21) Kaposhi Kakutalila umwe mu 1883 ahanjikile hatoma ngwenyi “makombelo osena apwa aunyengwe kumeso aKalunga.” Chipwe ngocho, hakavanga vashinganyekelenga ngwavo kuzachisa kulusu mujijila jimwe chapwile tuhu kanawa. Chakutalilaho, vavwalilenga katachikijilo kamuchama nakulusu hauvwalo wavo. Katachikijilo kana kavanukishile vapwenga vakushishika palanga nakukufwa, numba vakatambule muchama wakuyoya. Kuputuka mu 1891, helu lyaKaposhi Kakutalila hapwilenga muchama nakulusu.
13. Vaka-kukavangiza Kulishitu vavalumbunwinyine vyuma muka hakuzachisa kulusu? (Talenu nawa lipwata “ [lya]Kuvalumbunwina Chikoki Chikoki vyaKulusu.”)
13 Vaka-Kulinangula Mbimbiliya vazangile chikuma eyi michama yakulusu. Oloze kuputuka muji 1920, vaka-kukavangiza Kulishitu vavalumbunwinyinenga kuhenga chakuzachisa kulusu. Ndumbwetu Grant Suiter uze apwile muLizavu Lyakutwaminyina anukile vyuma vyasolokele hakukunguluka chimwe chapwilile kuDetroit, Michigan, U.S.A. mu 1928 ngwenyi: “Hakukunguluka kana vatulumbunwinyine ngwavo chapwile chakuhenga kuvwala michama yakulusu, numba vene kuyizachisa.” Mumyaka yakavangijileho, muchano walumbunukile kanawa. Valumbunwine hatoma ngwavo vaka-kulemesa Kalunga vamuchano kavatela kuzachisa jikulusuko.
14. Uno vatu jaKalunga valingile ngachilihi omu vavakanyishile kuzachisa kulusu?
14 Uno vatu jaKalunga valingile ngachilihi omu vavakanyishile kuzachisa kulusu? Kutala vatwalileho lika kuvwala yize michama yakulusu yize vazangilenga chikuma tahi? Ndumbwetu Lela Roberts uze azachilile Yehova hamyaka yayivulu ambile ngwenyi: “Twayimbilile hahaze vene omu twatachikijile ngwetu chapwile chakuhenga kuyivwala.” Ndumbwetu weka wakushishika Ursula Serenco ambile ngwenyi: “Twatachikijile jino ngwetu kulusu yize twamwenenga kupwa hichinjikizo chakufwa chaMwata wetu nakulihana chayetu vaka-Kulishitu, yapwile yavaze kavalemeselenga Kalunga wamuchanoko. Kweseka naVishimo 4:18, twawahililile chikuma hakuwana nge musana wapwile lika nakututuka.” Vaka-Kulishitu vakushishika kavasakile kulinga vyuma vyamukwitava chamakuliko.
15, 16. Natusolola ngachilihi ngwetu tuli nakufwila kutomesa chipango chahamavu chatembele yaYehova yakushipilitu?
15 Omu mukiko tunakulinga namakumbi ano. Twatachikiza ngwetu Kulishitu anakuzachisa ndungo wakushishika wakuzangama mangana atukafwe tupwenga lika vatoma kushipilitu.

17 Mwangana Yesu Kulishitu eji kulamanga vikungulwilo vyavatu jaKalunga mukaye kosena. Kulishitu navangelo vanapunga nakuzata mulimo wakuhandununa, numba tuhu katweshi kuumona namesoko. Yesu alumbunwine ou mulimo muchifwanyisa chenyi chalyoji lyachikokela. (Tangenu Mateu 13:47-50.) Echi chifwanyisa chatalisa mulihi?
18 ‘Kufuta lyoji lyachikokela mukalungalwiji.’ Eli lyoji lyachikokela lyemanyinako mujimbu waWangana ou vanakwambulula mukaye kosena. Kukungulula “vaishi vamiyachi yosena.” Mujimbu wamwaza weji kukokanga vatu vakulisezaseza. Vamwe veji kwalumukanga nakupwa vaka-Kulishitu vamuchano, veka veji kusololanga kuwahilila hakavanga, oloze kutwala muze veji kulitwaminanga. * “Kusakula vaishi vamwenemwene nakuvahaka mumitonga.” Vatu vamichima yamwaza veji kuvakungululanga nakuvahaka muvikungulwilo muze veji kulemeselanga Yehova mujila yitoma. Kumbila ‘vaishi vamokomoko.’ Mumakumbi ano akukuminyina, Kulishitu navangelo vanapunga nakuhandununa “vaka-kuhuka kuli vaka-kwoloka.” * Kaha vatu vamichima yayipi, vaze vanakanenga kuseza vilinga vyakuhenga nakunangula chamukwitava chamakuli, kavavetavishile kupihisanga vikungulwiloko. *
