“Masautso a wolungama mtima achuluka: Koma Yehova am’landitsa mwa onsewa.”​—SALMO 34:19.

1, 2. Kodi Mkristu wina wokhulupirika anakumana ndi vuto lotani, ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani nafenso tingakumane ndi mavuto ofanana ndi limeneli?

MTSIKANA wina, dzina lake Keiko * wakhala mmodzi wa Mboni za Yehova kwa zaka zoposa 20. Panthawi ina ankatumikira monga mpainiya wokhazikika, kapena kuti wolengeza Ufumu wa nthawi zonse.

Zinthu zinafika poipa kwambiri moti ndinkangofuna kumwalira.”

Popeza ndinu wa Mboni za Yehova, muli ndi zifukwa zambiri zokhalira wosangalala chifukwa chipembedzo “chikhala nalo lonjezano la ku moyo uno, ndi la moyo ulinkudza.” (1 Timoteo 4:8) Panopo muli m’paradaiso wauzimu. Koma kodi zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti timatetezedwa ku mavuto onse? Ayi. Baibulo limati: “Masautso a wolungama mtima achuluka.” (Salmo 34:19) Zimenezi sizodabwitsa chifukwa “dziko lonse lapansi ligona mwa woipayo,” Satana Mdyerekezi. (1 Yohane 5:19) Mwa njira zina, ife tonse timakhudzidwa ndi ulamuliro womwe Mdyerekezi ali nawo padziko lapansi.​—Aefeso 6:12.

3. Tchulani zitsanzo za m’Baibulo za atumiki a Mulungu omwe anavutikapo kwambiri.

³ Kuvutika nthawi yaitali kungasokoneze kaonedwe kathu ka zinthu zonse. (Miyambo 15:15) Taganizirani za munthu wolungama Yobu. Nthawi imene ankavutika kwambiri, anati: “Munthu wobadwa ndi mkazi n’ngwa masiku owerengeka, nakhuta mavuto.” (Yobu 14:1) Chimwemwe chonse cha Yobu chinali chitatheratu. Moti panthawi ina anafika poganiza kuti Yehova anali atam’taya. (Yobu 29:1-5) Yobu sanali mtumiki wa Mulungu yekhayo yemwe anavutika kwambiri. Baibulo limatiuza kuti Hana anali ndi “mtima wowawa” chifukwa chosakhala ndi mwana. (1 Samueli 1:9-11) Atavutika chifukwa cha mmene zinthu zinalili m’banja mwake, Rebeka anati: “Ndalema moyo wanga.” (Genesis 27:46) Poganizira zolakwa zake, Davide  anati: “Ndimayenda woliralira tsiku lonse.” (Salmo 38:6) Zitsanzo zochepazi zikusonyeza bwino kuti amuna ndi akazi oopa Mulungu omwe anakhalako Chikristu chisanayambe, nthawi zina ankavutika kwambiri.

4. N’chifukwa chiyani n’zosadabwitsa kuti masiku ano pali Akristu ovutika maganizo?

⁴ Nanga bwanji za Akristu? Mtumwi Paulo anaona kuti kunali koyenera kuuza Atesalonika kuti “limbikitsani amantha mtima” kapena kuti ovutika maganizo. (1 Atesalonika 5:14) Buku lina linati liwu la Chigiriki lomasuliridwa kuti “amantha mtima” lingatanthauze anthu omwe “akhala akuvutika maganizo kwa kanthawi kochepa chifukwa cha zinthu zina pa moyo wawo.” Mawu a Paulo akusonyeza kuti Akristu ena odzozedwa ndi mzimu mumpingo wa ku Tesalonika ankavutika maganizo. Masiku ano palinso Akristu omwe akuvutika maganizo. Koma n’chifukwa chiyani akuvutika maganizo? Tiyeni tikambirane zinthu zitatu zomwe nthawi zambiri zimachititsa Akristu ena kuvutika maganizo.

⁵ Mosiyana ndi anthu oipa omwe ndi opandiratu khalidwe, Akristu oona amamva chisoni chifukwa cha kupanda ungwiro kwawo. (Aefeso 4:19) Iwo angamve mofanana ndi Paulo yemwe analemba kuti: “Pakuti monga mwa munthu wa m’kati mwanga, ine ndikondwera ndi chilamulo cha Mulungu: koma ndiona lamulo lina m’ziwalo zanga, lilikulimbana ndi lamulo la mtima wanga, ndi kundigonjetsa kapolo wa lamulo la m’ziwalo zanga.” Ndiyeno Paulo anati: “Munthu wosauka ine.”​—Aroma 7:22-24.

Sikuti n’kulakwa kudziwa bwino zofooka zanu, chifukwa zimenezi zingakuthandizeni kuona kuipa kwa tchimo ndipo zingakulimbikitseni kukhala wotsimikiza kupewa zoipa. Koma simufunikira kukhala wovutika maganizo nthawi zonse chifukwa cha zofooka zanu. Pa mawu ake osonyeza kuvutika maganizo omwe angotchulidwa kumenewa, Paulo anawonjezera kuti: “Ndiyamika Mulungu, mwa Yesu Kristu Ambuye wathu.” (Aroma 7:25) Ndithudi, Paulo anali ndi chikhulupiriro choti mwazi wokhetsedwa wa Yesu udzamuwombola ku uchimo wobadwa nawo.​—Aroma 5:18.

7. Kodi n’chiyani chingathandize munthu kuti asamavutike maganizo chifukwa cha zizolowezi zake zoipa?

Ndipotu, ‘onse anachimwa, naperewera pa ulemerero wa Mulungu.’​—Aroma 3:23.

8, 9. N’chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kupewa maganizo odziimba mlandu?

⁸ Koma bwanji ngati kale munachita tchimo lalikulu? Mosakayikira, munam’fotokozera Yehova nkhaniyo m’pemphero, ndipo mwina munachita zimenezi nthawi zambiri. Munalandira thandizo lauzimu kuchokera kwa akulu achikristu. (Yakobo 5:14, 15) Munali wolapadi ndipo n’chifukwa chake mudakali mumpingo. Kapena mwina kwa kanthawi kochepa munasiya gulu la Mulungu, koma m’kupita kwa nthawi munalapa ndipo munakhala ndi makhalidwe abwino. Mulimonse mmene zinthu zinakhalira, mungakumbukire tchimo lanu lakale ndipo lingakuvutitseni maganizo. Zikakhala choncho, kumbukirani kuti Yehova amakhululukira “koposa” anthu olapadi. (Yesaya 55:7) Ndiponso iye safuna kuti inuyo muzimva kuti machimo anu sangakhululukidwe. Satana ndi yemwe amafuna kuti tizimva choncho. (2 Akorinto 2:7, 10, 11) Mdyerekezi adzawonongedwa ndipo n’zomwe zili zomuyenerera, koma iye amafuna kuti inunso muzimva kuti ndinu woyenera kuwonongedwa. (Chivumbulutso 20:10) Musalole Satana kuti awononge chikhulupiriro chanu mochenjera chonchi. (Aefeso 6:11) M’malo mwake, “mum’kanize” iye ndi machenjera akewa monga momwe mumachitira pa zinthu zina.​—1 Petro 5:9.

 ⁹ Pa Chivumbulutso 12:10, Satana amatchedwa “wonenera wa abale athu,” Akristu odzozedwa. Iye ‘amawanenera usana ndi usiku’ pamaso pa Mulungu. Kuganizira lembali kungakuthandizeni kuona kuti Satana, wonenera wabodza, amasangalala tikamadziimba mlandu ndi kudziona wosafunikira, ngakhale kuti Yehova satiimba mlandu. (1 Yohane 3:19-22) Motero, n’kumavutikiranji maganizo chifukwa cha zofooka zanu, mpaka n’kumaona kuti ndi bwino kusiya kutumikira Mulungu? Musalole Satana kuwononga ubwenzi wanu ndi Mulungu. Musalekerere Mdyerekezi kuti akuchititseni kunyalanyaza mfundo yoti Yehova ndi “wachifundo ndi wachisomo, wolekereza, ndi wa ukoma mtima wochuluka.”​—Eksodo 34:6.

11. Kodi uphungu wa Paulo wolembedwa pa Agalatiya 6:4 ungatithandize motani?

¹¹ Baibulo limatilangiza kuti tisakhale aulesi koma “akuwatsanza iwo amene alikulowa malonjezano.” (Ahebri 6:12) Tingachite zimenezi kokha ngati tiona zitsanzo zawo ndi kuyesetsa kutsanzira chikhulupiriro chawo. Koma sizingatithandize ngati tikudziyerekezera ndi ena mosayenera ndipo n’kumanena kuti palibe chabwino chomwe tingachite. Motero, zingakhale bwino kugwiritsa ntchito uphungu wa Paulo wakuti: “Yense ayesere ntchito yake ya iye yekha, ndipo pamenepo adzakhala nako kudzitamandira chifukwa cha iye yekha, si chifukwa cha wina.”​—Agalatiya 6:4.

12. N’chifukwa chiyani tingakhale osangalala potumikira Yehova?

13, 14. (a) Kodi “nthawi zowawitsa” zingativutitse maganizo m’njira zotani? (b) Kodi kupanda chikondi chachibadwidwe kukuonekera motani masiku ano?

¹³ Ngakhale kuti tikuyembekezera kudzakhala m’dziko lapansi latsopano ndi lolungama la Mulungu, panopo tikukhala mu “nthawi zowawitsa.” (2 Timoteo 3:1) N’zolimbikitsa kudziwa kuti zinthu zovutitsa maganizo zomwe zikuchitikazi zikusonyeza kuyandikira kwa chipulumutso chathu.

¹⁴ Pali mbali ina ya masiku otsiriza yomwe  sitifunikira kuinyalanyaza. Baibulo linalosera kuti anthu ambiri adzakhala “opanda chikondi chachibadwidwe.” (2 Timoteo 3:3) Kukondana kwa pachibale kukusowa kwambiri m’mabanja ambiri. Ndithudi, “umboni ukusonyeza kuti anthu akuphedwa, kumenyedwa, kuvutitsidwa kapena kugwiriridwa ndi anthu a m’banja mwawo kuposa anthu ena. Malo amene anthu ayenera kuona kuti akukondedwa ndipo ali otetezeka ndi amene akhala oopsa kwambiri kwa ena mwa achikulire ndi ana omwe,” linatero buku lakuti Family Violence.

Ngakhale kuti kukanidwa ndiponso kuzunzidwa ndi makolo kungakhale kowawa kwambiri, sikungasinthe mmene Yehova amatisamalirira. (Aroma 8:38, 39) Kumbukirani kuti Yehova amakoka munthu yemwe wakonda. (Yohane 3:16; 6:44) Zilibe kanthu kuti anthu akhala akukuchitirani zotani, Atate wanu wakumwamba amakukondani.

Pondichulukira zolingalira zanga m’kati mwanga, zotonthoza zanu zikondweretsa moyo wanga.” (Salmo 94:18, 19) Kuwerenga Baibulo nthawi zonse kudzakuthandizani kuti mukhale ndi mawu otonthoza m’maganizo mwanu ndiponso mfundo zolimbikitsa.

¹⁷ Pemphero nalonso n’lofunika. Ngakhale kuti simungathe kufotokoza bwinobwino mmene mukumvera, Yehova amadziwa zimene mukufuna kunena.

Musamagone mochedwa n’kumangoonerera TV ndipo pewani zosangalatsa zomwe zingatopetse thupi ndi maganizo anu. Koposa zonse, pitirizani kuchita ntchito zosangalatsa Mulungu. Ngakhale kuti ino si nthawi yoti Yehova ‘apukute misozi yonse,’ adzatithandiza kupirira.​—Chivumbulutso 21:4; 1 Akorinto 10:13.

Pamene mtumwi Paulo anapemphera mobwerezabwereza kuti “munga m’thupi” umuchoke, Yehova anamuuza kuti: “Mphamvu yanga ithedwa m’ufooko.” (2 Akorinto 12:7-9) Kodi Yehova analonjeza Paulo chiyani, ndipo akutilonjeza chiyani? Yehova salonjeza kuthetsa masautso panopo, koma watilonjeza mphamvu zoti tipirire.

20. Ngakhale kuti tikukumana ndi mayesero, kodi lemba la 1 Petro 5:6, 7, limatitsimikizira chiyani?

Iye adzakuthandizani ngakhale pamene mukukumana ndi mayesero. Kumbukirani kuti Akristu okhulupirika ali “pansi pa dzanja la mphamvu la Mulungu.” Pamene tikutumikira Yehova, amatipatsa nyonga zoti tipirire. Tikakhala okhulupirika kwa iye, palibe chimene chingatiwononge mwauzimu mpaka muyaya. Motero, tiyeni tikhale okhulupirika kwa Yehova kotero kuti tidzakhale ndi moyo wosatha m’dziko lapansi latsopano limene walonjeza, ndipo tidzaone tsiku limene Yehova adzapulumutsedi kotheratu wovutika.
