Taganizirani za kuphedwa mwankhanza kwa Abele, amene anali munthu woyamba kukhala wokhulupirika. Baibulo limanena kuti mchimwene wake Kaini, amene anamupha, ‘anachokera mwa woipayo,’ amene ndi Satana Mdyerekezi. (1 Yohane 3:12) Kaini anatengera mtima wa Satana, ndipo Satanayu anam’gwiritsira ntchito kuchita zofuna zake zoipa. Baibulo limatiuzanso zimene Satana anachita povutitsa mwankhanza Yobu ndi Yesu Kristu.

Satana amanena kuti ngati atapatsidwa mwayi woti ayese anthu, iye angachititse anthu onse kusiya kutumikira Mulungu. (Genesis 3:1-6; Yobu 1:6-12; 2:1-7) Pomunamizira Yehova kuti ndi wopondereza, wabodza, ndiponso wolephera, Satana amafuna kuti nayenso azilamulira nawo chilengedwe chonse ngati Yehova. Motero mtima wofuna kuti azilambiridwa ndiwo ukuchititsa kuti alusire atumiki a Mulungu.—Mateyu 4:8, 9.

Mosakayikira, popeza kuti ndinu mtumiki wa Yehova, munaona kale kuti ngakhale kuti pamafunika khama kuti muchite zofuna za Mulungu, phindu lake limakhala lalikulu kwambiri. Komano mungatani ngati zinthu zina pamoyo wanu zikukuchititsani kuti mulephere kutsatirabe malamulo ndi mfundo za Yehova kapena kuti muwamve kuwawa? Ndipo mungatani mukamaona ngati simukupindula chilichonse potumikira Yehova? Kodi munganene kuti kupitiriza kutumikira Yehova n’kopanda phindu? Kapena mungapitirize kuchita zofuna za Yehova chifukwa choti mumam’konda ndiponso mumayamikira makhalidwe ake apamwamba? (Deuteronomo 10:12, 13) Polola Satana kutibweretsera mavuto, Yehova anapatsa aliyense wa ife payekha mwayi wopereka yankho lake pa zimene Satana amanena.—Miyambo 27:11.

8. Kodi Satana anam’nyazitsa motani Yobu, ndipo Yobu anamva bwanji ndi zimenezo?
8 Taganizirani zimene zinamuonekera Yobu, amene dzina lake limatanthauza kuti “Munthu Wodedwa.” Kuwonjezera pa kuwonongetsa chuma cha Yobu, kuphetsa ana ake, ndiponso kumudwalitsa, Satana anapangitsa Yobu kuoneka ngati munthu wochimwa amene anali kulangidwa ndi Mulungu. Ngakhale kuti Yobu poyamba anali munthu wolemekezeka kwambiri, iye anayamba kunyozedwa ndi achibale ake ngakhalenso Yobu 19:13-19; 29:1, 2, 7-11) Kuwonjezera apo, kudzera mwa anthu amene ankanamizira kumulimbikitsa, Satana anafuna ‘kuthyolathyola Yobu ndi mawu.’ Poyamba iwo anali kunena zinthu zosonyeza ngati kuti Yobu anachita tchimo lalikulu ndipo kenako anayamba kum’dzudzula mosapita m’mbali kuti ndi munthu wochita zolakwa.

9 Monga munthu amene ali patsogolo kuikira kumbuyo mfundo yakuti Yehova ndiyedi ali woyenera kulamulira chilengedwe chonse, Mwana wa Mulungu anakhala mdani wamkulu wa Satana. Yesu atabwera padziko lapansi, Satana anayesa kumuipitsira mbiri yake, ngati mmene anachitira ndi Yobu, kupangitsa Yesu kuoneka ngati wochimwa. (Yesaya 53:2-4; Yohane 9:24) Anthu anam’tchula kuti ndi woledzera ndi wosusuka ndipo ankamunenanso kuti “ali ndi chiwanda.” (Mateyu 11:18, 19; Yohane 7:20; 8:48; 10:20) Iye anaimbidwa mlandu wabodza wochitira Mulungu mwano. (Mateyu 9:2, 3; 26:63-66; Yohane 10:33-36) Yesu anavutika maganizo kwambiri ndi zimenezi, chifukwa chakuti ankadziŵa kuti izi zinali kunyozetsa Atate wake popanda chifukwa. (Luka 22:41-44) Pomalizira pake, Yesu anapachikidwa ngati chigaŵenga chotembereredwa. (Mateyu 27:38-44) Kuti akhalebe wokhulupirika mpaka mapeto, Yesu anapirira zinthu zotsutsa zimene anthu ochimwa ankam’nenera.—Ahebri 12:2, 3.
10. Kodi Satana akulimbana motani ndi otsalira a odzozedwa m’masiku athu ano?
10 M’masiku athu ano, nawonso otsalira a odzozedwa a Kristu akhala akudedwa kwambiri ndi Mdyerekezi. Satana amafotokozedwa kuti ndi “wonenera wa abale [a Kristu], wakuwanenera pamaso pa Mulungu wathu usana ndi usiku.” (Chivumbulutso 12:9, 10) Popeza kuti anathamangitsidwa kumwamba n’kuponyedwa kufupi ndi dziko lapansi, Satana wagundika kwambiri pa ntchito yake yofuna kuti abale a Kristu azionedwa ngati anthu ankhanza osayenera kukhala nawo. (1 Akorinto 4:13) M’mayiko ena, abale a Kristu akhala akunamiziridwa kuti ndi kagulu koopsa kachipembedzo, monga momwe zinachitikira kwa Akristu a m’zaka 100 zoyambirira. (Machitidwe 24:5, 14; 28:22) Monga momwe taonera poyamba paja, mbiri yawo yaipitsidwa ndi mabodza amene akhala akufalitsidwa. Komabe, “mwa ulemerero mwa mnyozo, mwa mbiri yoipa ndi mbiri yabwino,” abale odzozedwa a Kristu, mothandizidwa ndi anzawo a “nkhosa zina,” ayesetsa modzichepetsa kupitiriza ‘kusunga malamulo a Mulungu, ndi kuchitira umboni za Yesu.’—2 Akorinto 6:8; Yohane 10:16; Chivumbulutso 12:17.

13 Tikamanyozedwa kwambiri chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chathu, tingathe kufooka, ngati mmene anachitira mneneri Yeremiya, Yeremiya 20:7-9) Kodi n’chiyani chingatithandize kukhalabe olimba mwauzimu? Yesetsani kuona nkhaniyo ngati mmene Yehova amaionera. Iye amaona kuti anthu amene akupitiriza kukhala okhulupirika poyesedwa n’ngopambana, osati ovutika. (Aroma 8:37) Yesani kuganizira za anthu amene anaikira kumbuyo ulamuliro wa Yehova ngakhale kuti anali kunyozedwa ndi Mdyerekezi. Mungaganizire za amuna ndi akazi monga Abele, Yobu, Mariya amene anali amayi a Yesu, ndi anthu ena akale omwe anakhala okhulupirika, komanso atumiki anzathu a masiku ano.

(Salmo 50:15; 94:19) Iye angatipatse nzeru zotithandiza kupirira chiyeso ndi kupitiriza kuganizira nthaŵi zonse za nkhani yaikulu ya ulamuliro wa Yehova, yomwe ikuchititsa kuti atumiki ake azidedwa popanda chifukwa. (Yakobo 1:5) Yehova angatipatsenso “mtendere wa Mulungu wakupambana chidziŵitso chonse.” (Afilipi 4:6, 7) Mtendere wochoka kwa Mulungu umenewu umatithandiza kukhala odekha ndiponso osasunthika tikakhala m’mavuto aakulu, kuti tisakayikire chilichonse kapenanso kuchita mantha.

(Aefeso 6:12) Ngakhale kuti anthu ena amatizunza mwadala, ambiri amene amatsutsa anthu a Mulungu amachita zimenezo mosadziŵa kapena mochita kupangiridwa ndi anthu ena. (Danieli 6:4-16; 1 Timoteo 1:12, 13) Yehova akufuna kuti “anthu onse” apeze mwayi ‘wopulumuka ndi kufika pozindikira choonadi.’ (1 Timoteo 2:4) Ndipo ena omwe kale ankatitsutsa tsopano ndi abale athu achikristu chifukwa choti aona makhalidwe athu abwino.

Chifukwa chiyani? Anatero chifukwa choona kuti nkhaniyo inkakhudzanso Yehova, yemwe anali kuyendetsa zinthu pofuna kukwaniritsa cholinga Chake. (Genesis 45:4-8) Panoponso Yehova angachititse kuti kuzunzidwa kwathu popanda chifukwa kuthandize kubweretsa ulemerero pa dzina lake.—1 Petro 4:16.
16, 17. N’chifukwa chiyani sitiyenera kuda nkhaŵa ndi zochita za anthu ofuna kulepheretsa ntchito yolalikira?

Ndipo Ine ndizipatsa moyo wosatha; . . . ndipo palibe munthu adzazikwatula m’dzanja langa.’ (Yohane 10:27-29) Nawonso angelo opatulika akugwira nawo ntchito yaikulu ya kututa kwauzimu imeneyi. (Mateyu 13:39, 41; Chivumbulutso 14:6, 7) Motero, palibe chilichonse chimene otsutsa anganene kapena kuchita chomwe chingalepheretse cholinga cha Mulungu.—Yesaya 54:17; Machitidwe 5:38, 39.
