Ifenso tingaulandire ndipo mzimu wa Mulungu ungatipatse mphamvu kuti tizichita zinthu zabwino komanso kuti tizitumikira Mulungu.

Umalimbikitsanso “chilakolako cha thupi ndi chilakolako cha maso ndi kudzionetsera ndi zimene munthu ali nazo pamoyo wake.” (1 Yoh. 2:16) Umachititsa anthu kuchita ntchito zathupi monga dama, kupembedza mafano, kukhulupirira mizimu, nsanje, kupsa mtima, ndiponso kumwa mwauchidakwa. (Agal. 5:19-21) Umalimbikitsanso nkhani zampatuko zimene zimaipitsa zinthu zoyera. (2 Tim. 2:14-18) Ngati munthu amatsatira kwambiri mzimu wa dziko, amasonyeza kwambiri makhalidwe a Satana.

Anthu amene akutsogoleredwa ndi mzimu wa dziko angasinthe n’kumatsogoleredwa ndi mzimu woyera. Koma n’zothekanso kuti anthu amene akutsogoleredwa ndi mzimu woyera ayambe kutsogoleredwa ndi mzimu wa dziko. (Afil. 3:18, 19) Tsopano tiyeni tikambirane zimene tingachite kuti tipewe mzimu wa dziko.
