“Mwananga, khala wanzeru, nukondweretse mtima wanga.”​—MIYAMBO 27:11.

1. Kodi dziko masiku ano ladzala ndi mzimu wotani?

MASIKU ano, dziko ladzala ndi mzimu wosafuna kuuzidwa chochita ndi wa kusamvera. Mtumwi Paulo anafotokoza chifukwa chake m’kalata yopita kwa Akhristu a ku Efeso. Anati: “Munali kuyenda . . . mogwirizana ndi dongosolo la zinthu la m’dzikoli, momveranso wolamulira wa mphamvu ya mumpweya, mzimu umene tsopano ukugwira ntchito mwa ana a kusamvera.” (Aefeso 2:1, 2) Zoonadi, tingati Satana Mdyerekezi, “wolamulira wa mphamvu ya mumpweya,” waipitsa dziko lonse ndi mzimu wa kusamvera. Ankachita zimenezi nthawi ya atumwi, ndipo wakhala akuchitabe zimenezi kwambiri kuchokera pamene anathamangitsidwa kumwamba m’zaka za nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse.​—Chivumbulutso 12:9.

(Salmo 148:5, 6; Machitidwe 4:24; Akolose 1:13; Chivumbulutso 4:11) Masiku a Mose, Aisiraeli ankadziwa kuti Yehova ndiye anawapatsa moyo ndiponso anali Mpulumutsi wawo. N’chifukwa chake Mose anawauza kuti: “Muzisamalira kuchita monga Yehova Mulungu wanu anakulamulirani.” (Deuteronomo 5:32) Ndithudi, iwo anafunika kumvera Yehova. Koma patangopita nthawi yochepa, iwo analeka kumvera Wolamulira wawo.

³ Kumvera Mlengi wa chilengedwe chonse ndi kofunika kwambiri. N’chifukwa chiyani tikutero? Panthawi ina Mulungu analamula Samueli kuuza Mfumu Sauli kuti: “Kumvera ndiko kokoma koposa nsembe.” (1 Samueli 15:22, 23) Kodi kumvera kumaposa bwanji nsembe?

Kumvera ‘Kumaposa Nsembe’

4. Kodi ndi chiyani chimene tingamuchitire Yehova?

⁴ Popeza kuti Yehova ndiye Mlengi, zinthu zonse zimene tili nazo ndi zake. Ndiyeno, kodi pali chilichonse chimene tingamuchitire? Inde, chilipo ndipo ndi chamtengo wapatali. Tingamuchitire chiyani? Tikupeza yankho pamalangizo otsatirawa akuti: “Mwananga, khala  wanzeru, nukondweretse mtima wanga; kuti ndimuyankhe yemwe anditonza.” (Miyambo 27:11) Zimene tingamuchitire Mulungu ndi kumumvera basi. Ngakhale kuti tinabadwira kosiyanasiyana ndipo tili ndi moyo wosiyanasiyana, ifeyo mwa kumvera, tingatsutse bodza lamkunkhuniza la Satana Mdyerekezi lakuti anthufe sitingakhale okhulupirika kwa Mulungu poyesedwa. Ndithudi, Mulungu watilemekeza zedi potipatsa mwayi wotsutsa zimenezi!

5. Kodi Mlengi amamva bwanji ngati anthu sakumumvera? Perekani chitsanzo.

⁵ Mulungu ali ndi chidwi ndi zimene timachita. Tikapanda kumvera, sasangalala. Zimamupweteka kuona munthu akuchita zinthu zopanda nzeru ngati zimenezo. (Salmo 78:40, 41) Zimenezi tingaziyerekezere ndi munthu wodwala matenda a shuga amene waleka kutsatira malangizo a kadyedwe amene dokotala anamupatsa ndipo akudyabe zinthu zimene anamuletsa. Kodi dokotalayo angamve bwanji? Yehovanso zimamupweteka anthu akapanda kumumvera, chifukwa chakuti amadziwa zotsatira zake munthu akamanyalanyaza malangizo ake opatsa moyo.

6. Kodi ndi chiyani chingatithandize kumvera Mulungu?

⁶ Kodi ndi chiyani chingathandize aliyense wa ife kukhala womvera? Tiyenera kupempha Mulungu kuti atipatse “mtima womvera,” monga Mfumu Solomo. Iye anapempha mtima umenewo kuti athe ‘kuzindikira pakati pa zabwino ndi zoipa’ ndi cholinga choti athe kuweruza Aisiraeli anzake. (1 Mafumu 3:9) Ifenso tifunikira kukhala ndi “mtima womvera” kuti tizitha kuzindikira pakati pa zabwino ndi zoipa m’dziko lodzala ndi mzimu wa kusamverali. Mulungu watipatsa Mawu ake, mabuku ofotokoza Baibulo, misonkhano yachikhristu, ndi akulu achikondi mumpingo kuti tikhale ndi “mtima womvera.” Kodi tikugwiritsa ntchito bwino zinthu zothandiza zimenezi?

7. Kodi n’chifukwa chiyani Yehova amakonda kwambiri kumvera kuposa nsembe?

⁷ Kumbukiraninso kuti kale Yehova anauza anthu ake kuti kumvera ndi kofunika kuposa nsembe za nyama. (Miyambo 21:3, 27; Hoseya 6:6; Mateyo 12:7) N’chifukwa chiyani ananena zimenezo? Kodi si Yehova yemweyo amene analamula anthu ake kupereka nsembe zotero? Apa nkhani yagona pa cholinga cha munthu amene akupereka nsembeyo. Kodi cholinga chake ndi kukondweretsa Mulungu? Kapena kodi akungochita mwamwambo? Ngati munthu akufunadi kukondweretsa Mulungu, amayesetsa kumvera malamulo onse a Mulungu. Mulungu safuna nsembe za nyama, koma kumvera ndiko chinthu chamtengo wapatali chimene tingamuchitire.

8. Kodi n’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu anakana kuti Sauli asapitirize kukhala mfumu?

⁸ Nkhani ya m’Baibulo yonena za Mfumu Sauli imasonyeza kuti kumvera ndi kofunika kwambiri. Poyamba, Sauli anali mfumu yodzichepetsa ndipo anadziyesa ‘wamng’ono m’maso mwake.’ Koma patapita nthawi, anayamba kunyada ndi kukhala ndi maganizo olakwika pazochita zake. (1 Samueli 10:21, 22; 15:17) Nthawi ina, Sauli akukamenyana ndi Afilisti, Samueli anamuuza kuti amudikire kuti iye adzapereke nsembe kwa Yehova ndiponso kuti adzapatse mfumuyo malangizo ena. Koma Samueli anachedwa kubwera ndipo anthu anayamba kubalalika. Ataona zimenezo, Sauli “anapereka nsembe yopserezayo.” Zimenezi Yehova sanakondwere nazo. Samueli atabwera, mfumu inapereka zifukwa pofuna kulungamitsa kusamvera kwake. Inafotokoza kuti ‘inadzifulumiza’ ndi kupereka nsembe yopsereza kupembedzera Yehova chifukwa chakuti Samueli anachedwa. Mfumu Sauli anaona kuti kupereka nsembeyo kunali kofunika kwambiri kuposa kumvera malangizo oti adikire Samueli kudzapereka nsembe. Samueli anamuuza kuti: “Munachita kopusa; simunasunga lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wanu, limene iye anakulamulirani.” Mapeto ake, Sauli anataya ufumu wake chifukwa chosamvera Yehova.​—1 Samueli 10:8; 13:5-13.

9. Kodi Sauli anasonyeza bwanji kuti anali ndi chizolowezi chosamvera Mulungu?

 ⁹ Kodi mfumuyo inatengerapo phunziro pa zimene zinachitikazo? Ayi ndithu. Nthawi ina, Yehova analamula Sauli kuwononga mtundu wa Amaleki, amene m’mbuyomo anaukira Isiraeli popanda chifukwa. Sauli sanafunikire kusunga ngakhale ziweto zawo. Anamvera ndithu chifukwa “anakantha Aamaleki, kuyambira pa Havila, [mpaka] dera la ku Suri.” Samueli atafika kudzakumana naye, mfumuyi inakondwera chifukwa chopambana nkhondo ndipo inati: “Yehova akudalitseni; ine ndinachita lamulo la Yehova.” Koma mosemphana ndi malangizo omveka bwino amene analandira, Sauli ndi anthu ake anasunga Mfumu Agagi ndi “nkhosa zokometsetsa, ndi ng’ombe, ndi zonenepa zina, ndi ana a nkhosa, ndi zabwino zonse.” Mfumu Sauli inalungamitsa kusamvera kwake mwa kunena kuti: “Anthu anasunga nkhosa zokometsetsa ndi ng’ombe, kuzipereka nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu.”​—1 Samueli 15:1-15.

10. Kodi Sauli analephera kuphunzira chiyani?

¹⁰ Samueli atamva zimenezo, anauza Sauli kuti: “Kodi Yehova akondwera ndi nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zophera, monga ndi kumvera mawu a Yehova? Taonani, kumvera ndiko kokoma koposa nsembe, kutchera khutu koposa mafuta a nkhosa zamphongo.” (1 Samueli 15:22) Popeza kuti Yehova anali atalamula kuti nyamazo ziwonongedwe, sizikanakhalanso nsembe zovomerezeka.

Koma masiku ano kumayiko kumene anthu ambiri ali ndi makompyuta m’nyumba zawo, m’posavuta kuonera zithunzi zolaula chifukwa munthu amangotabwanya mabatani basi. Kodi ife tikumvera mawu a Yesu akuti: “Aliyense woyang’anitsitsa mkazi mpaka kumulakalaka wachita naye kale chigololo mu mtima mwake”? Inde, kodi timakana ngakhale kuyang’ana zithunzi zolaula? (Mateyo 5:28; Yobu 31:1, 9, 10; Salmo 119:37; Miyambo 6:24, 25; Aefeso 5:3-5) Nanga bwanji za mapulogalamu a pa TV achiwawa?
