Koma anatitsimikizira kuti: “Iye wakulimbika chilimbikire kufikira kuchimaliziro, yemweyo adzapulumuka.” (Mateyu 24:9-13) Zonsezi n’zofuna kudzimana ndi kudzipereka kumene wamalonda wa m’fanizo la Yesu anaonetsa. Kodi lerolino alipo anthu amene amasonyeza chikhulupiriro ndi changu choterocho pofunafuna Ufumu?

4. Kodi choonadi cha Ufumu chikuwakhudza motani anthu lerolino?

⁴ Wamalonda wa m’fanizo la Yesu anasangalala kwambiri atapeza ngale imene anaizindikira kuti ndi “ya mtengo wapatali.” Chimwemwe chimenecho chinam’limbitsa mtima kuchita zonse zotheka kuti agule ngaleyo. (Ahebri 12:1) Lerolinonso, choonadi chonena za Mulungu ndi Ufumu wake chimakopa anthu ndi kuwalimbitsa mtima kuchita zonse zotheka kuti apeze Ufumuwo. Izi zikutikumbutsa mawu a Mbale A. H. Macmillan, onena za mmene anayesetsera kudziwa Mulungu ndi cholinga Chake polenga anthu. Analemba mawuwo m’buku lakuti Faith on the March.

Anthu amenewa ali ngati inuyo ndi ine, chifukwa ndi osiyanasiyana, ochokera m’mitundu yonse, m’mafuko onse, ndipo ndi amisinkhu yonse. Choonadi sichiona nkhope. Chimakopa munthu aliyense, kaya akhale wa mtundu wotani.”

5. Kodi lipoti la chaka cha utumiki cha 2004 likusonyeza zinthu zotani zolimbikitsa?

⁵ Mawu amenewa ndi oona, chifukwa chaka ndi chaka anthu oona mtima masauzande ambiri amalimbikitsidwa ndi uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu wa Mulungu kuti apereke moyo wawo kwa Yehova ndi kuchita chifuniro chake. Ndi zimene zinachitikanso m’chaka chautumiki cha 2004, chomwe chinayamba mu September 2003 mpaka mu August 2004.

Pamene anali ndi zaka 79 zakubadwa, Mbale Macmillan analemba kuti: “Kuchokera pamene ndinaphunzira kwa nthawi yoyamba za malonjezo operekedwa kwa mtundu wa anthu umene ukudwala ndi kufawu, chiyembekezo changa pa zimene uthenga wa m’Baibulo umasonyeza sichinachepe. Nditangophunzira za malonjezowo, ndinatsimikiza mtima kufufuza zowonjezeka zimene Baibulo limaphunzitsa. Cholinga chinali chakuti ndikathandizenso ena ofanana ndi ine, amene akufunitsitsa kudziwa za Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse, Yehova, ndi zolinga  zake zabwino zokhudza mtundu wa anthu.”

7. Ndi chitsanzo chotani chimene chikusonyeza bwino lomwe chimwemwe ndi changu chimene anthu opeza choonadi cha m’Baibulo amakhala nacho?

⁷ Kufunitsitsa komweko tikukuonanso pakati pa atumiki a Yehova lerolino. Chitsanzo ndi Daniela wochokera ku Vienna, m’dziko la Austria. Iye anati: “Kuyambira ndili mwana, Mulungu anali bwenzi langa la pamtima. N’chifukwa chake ndinali kufunitsitsa kudziwa dzina lake, chifukwa kwa ineyo, kungom’tchula kuti ‘Mulungu’ zinali kumveka ngati ndi wakutali kwambiri woti sangakhale bwenzi langa.

Ndinakondwera kwambiri ndipo ndinadabwa kuona zikuchitikadi.” Posapita nthawi, Daniela anapereka moyo wake kwa Yehova, ndipo anabatizidwa. Kenako, anayamba kuchita zinthu zom’thandiza kuti afike pa cholinga chake chokhala mmishonale. Atakwatiwa, Daniela, limodzi ndi mwamuna wake, Helmut, anayamba kulalikira kwa anthu ochokera ku Africa, ku China, ku Philippines, ndi ku India omwe anali mu mzinda wa Vienna.

Koma amishonale amenewa sayenda ulendowo kuti akapeze uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu ayi. Iwo amapititsa uthengawo kwa anthu okhala kumadera akutali kwambiri, kuwaphunzitsa ndi kuwathandiza kukhala ophunzira a Yesu Kristu.

Popeza kuti madera ambiri m’dziko  limenelo kulibe magetsi, anthu pochita ntchito zawo za pakhomo zatsiku ndi tsiku amakhala panja, pansi pa mtengo. Ndiye amishonale nawonso amachita ntchito yawo m’njira yomweyo, kuchititsa maphunziro a Baibulo atakhala pa mthunzi, pansi pa mtengo wogudira bwino. Panjapo pamakhala powala bwino ndipo pamakhala kamphepo kayaziyazi. Koma si zokhazo. Anthu m’dzikolo amakonda kwambiri Baibulo, ndipo amatha kucheza nkhani zokhudza Mulungu paliponse, mmene anthu amachezera za mpira ndi zanyengo. Chotero, odutsa chapafupi amaona phunziro la Baibulo limene likuchitika ndipo amangopatuka n’kukhala nawo pa phunzirolo.

¹⁰ N’zimene zinachitika mmishonale wina akuchititsa phunziro la Baibulo panja pa nyumba ina. Mnyamata amene anali kukhala tsidya lina la msewu anafika pomwe panali mmishonale uja, n’kumuuza kuti mmishonaleyo afikenso ku nyumba kwa mnyamatayo kudzaphunzira naye Baibulo, chifukwa palibe anam’fikira.

Pa zaka 42 zapitazi, mbale wina ndi mkazi wake achita umishonale m’mayiko atatu. Mbaleyo anati: “Takumana ndi mavuto osiyanasiyana. Mwachitsanzo, tinalimbana ndi malungo zaka 35. Koma sitinalingalirepo kuti tinalakwitsa kukhala amishonale.” Mkazi wake anawonjezapo kuti: “Nthawi zonse pamakhala zinthu zambiri zimene timaziyamikira. Utumiki wa kumunda umadzetsa chimwemwe chachikulu, ndipo kuyambitsa maphunziro a Baibulo n’kosavuta. Ukamaona ophunzira akufika pamisonkhano, n’kumadziwana nawo bwino, nthawi zonse misonkhano imakhala ngati macheza a pabanja.”
