1. Kodi Yehova amagwiritsa ntchito bwanji ufulu wake? Nanga anapatsa Adamu ndi Hava ufulu uti?

YEHOVA yekha ndi amene ali ndi ufulu wopanda malire. Koma sagwiritsa ntchito ufulu wake molakwika ndipo sapanikiza atumiki ake ndi malamulo ambirimbiri. M’malomwake, Mulungu wapatsa anthu ufulu woti azisankha okha zochita. Zimenezi zimawalola kugwiritsa ntchito nzeru zawo ndiponso kuchita zinthu zabwino zimene amalakalaka. Mwachitsanzo, Mulungu anangopatsa Adamu ndi Hava lamulo limodzi basi. Iye anawaletsa kudya “zipatso za mtengo wodziwitsa chabwino ndi choipa.” (Gen. 2:17) Kunena zoona, anthuwa anali ndi ufulu wambiri pochita chifuniro cha Mlengi.

2. Kodi makolo athu oyamba anataya bwanji ufulu umene Mulungu anawapatsa?

Ankayembekezera kuti iwo azichita zinthu zoyenera chifukwa chomukonda. (Gen. 1:27; Aroma 2:15) N’zomvetsa chisoni kuti Adamu ndi Hava sanayamikire ufulu umene Mlengi wawo anawapatsa. M’malomwake, anasankha ufulu umene Satana anapereka kuti azisankha okha zabwino ndi zoipa. Koma m’malo mopeza ufulu wambiri, makolo athuwo limodzi ndi ana awo amene anadzabadwa anakhala akapolo a uchimo. Zotsatira zake zinali zoopsa kwambiri.—Aroma 5:12.

³ Ngati Satana anakwanitsa kunyengerera anthu awiri angwiro komanso angelo ena kuti akane ulamuliro wa Mulungu, ifenso akhoza kutinyengerera. Satana sanasinthe. Iye amayesetsa kutipusitsa kuti tiziganiza zoti mfundo za Mulungu ndi zolemetsa ndipo zimatiletsa kusangalala. (1 Yoh. 5:3) Anthu ambiri amaganiza choncho ndipo ngati timacheza  nawo kwambiri, nafenso tikhoza kutengera maganizo amenewa. Mlongo wina wa zaka 24, amene anachita chiwerewere, anati: “Ndinayamba kutengera maganizo oipa a anzanga chifukwa chakuti sindinkafuna kuoneka wosiyana nawo.” Mwina nanunso mumavutika kukhala osiyana ndi anzanu.

⁴ N’zomvetsa chisoni kuti nthawi zina maganizo oipa amachokeranso kwa anthu a mu mpingo wachikhristu. M’bale wina wachinyamata anati: “Ndikudziwa achinyamata ena amene ankachita zibwenzi ndi anthu osakhulupirira. Kenako ndinadzazindikira kuti ndikamacheza nawo kwambiri, ndinkayamba kutengera maganizo awo. Ubwenzi wanga ndi Yehova unayamba kusokonezeka. Sindinkapindula ndi misonkhano ndipo ndinkangopita mu utumiki mwa apo ndi apo. Ndiyeno ndinaona kuti ndi bwino kusiya kucheza nawo.” Kodi inuyo mukudziwa kuti anzanu akhoza kukupotozani maganizo? Tiyeni tikambirane chitsanzo cha m’Baibulo chimene chingatithandize pa nkhaniyi.—Aroma 15:4.

ANAKOPA MITIMA YA ANTHU

5, 6. Kodi Abisalomu anapotoza bwanji maganizo a anthu? Nanga kodi chiwembu chake chinatheka?

⁵ M’Baibulo muli zitsanzo zambiri za anthu amene anapotoza maganizo a anzawo. Chitsanzo china ndi mwana wa Mfumu Davide, dzina lake Abisalomu. Iye anali mwamuna wooneka bwino kwambiri. Koma mofanana ndi Satana, anayamba kulakalaka udindo ndiponso mphamvu. Anayamba kusirira mpando wachifumu wa abambo ake ngakhale kuti sanali woyenera kukhala pa mpandowu. * Pofuna kulanda ufumu mochenjera, Abisalomu ankanamizira kuti amakonda kwambiri Aisiraeli anzake. Ankawachititsa kuganiza kuti mfumu ndi anthu ake sawaganizira. Mofanana ndi Mdyerekezi m’munda wa Edeni, Abisalomu ankadzionetsa ngati akufuna kuthandiza anthu koma pa nthawi imodzimodziyo akuipitsa mbiri ya atate wake.—2 Sam. 15:1-5.

⁶ Kodi chiwembu cha Abisalomu chinatheka? Tingati chinathekabe chifukwa Baibulo limati: “Abisalomu anapitiriza kukopa mitima ya anthu a mu Isiraeli.” (2 Sam. 15:6) Koma kenako, Abisalomu sizinamuyendere bwino chifukwa cha kudzikuza kwake. N’zomvetsa chisoni kuti pa mapeto pake Abisalomu anaphedwa limodzi ndi anthu ambirimbiri amene anawakopa.—2 Sam. 18:7, 14-17.

7. Kodi tikuphunzira chiyani pa nkhani ya Abisalomu? (Onani chithunzi patsamba 14.)

⁷ N’chifukwa chiyani Aisiraeliwo anakopeka mosavuta? Mwina n’chifukwa chakuti ankalakalaka zinthu zimene Abisalomu anawalonjeza. Apo ayi, anakopeka ndi maonekedwe ake. Kaya maganizo awo anali otani, mfundo ndi yakuti: Iwo sanali okhulupirika kwa Yehova ndi mfumu yake. Masiku ano, Satana amagwiritsanso ntchito anthu amtima ngati wa Abisalomu kuti akope atumiki a Yehova. Iwo akhoza kutiuza kuti, ‘Mfundo za Yehova n’zopanikiza kwambiri. Wekhanso ukuona mmene anthu osatumikira Yehova akusangalalira.’ Kodi inuyo mudzaona kuti maganizo amenewa ndi bodza lamkunkhuniza n’kukhalabe okhulupirika kwa Mulungu? Kodi mudzazindikira kuti ‘lamulo langwiro’ la Yehova, kapena kuti lamulo la Khristu, ndi limene lingakupatseni ufulu weniweni? (Yak. 1:25) Ngati ndi choncho, pitirizani kusonyeza kuti mumakonda kwambiri lamuloli ndipo musagwiritse ntchito molakwika ufulu wanu wachikhristu.—Werengani 1 Petulo 2:16.

8. Fotokozani zochitika zenizeni zosonyeza kuti munthu akanyalanyaza mfundo za Yehova sasangalala.

⁸ Satana amayesetsa kunyengerera makamaka achinyamata. M’bale wina, amene tsopano ali ndi zaka zoposa 30, anafotokoza za nthawi imene anali wachinyamata kuti: “Ndinkaona kuti mfundo za Yehova zokhudza makhalidwe n’zopanikiza osati zoteteza.” Chifukwa choganiza chonchi, iye anachita chiwerewere. Koma  atachita zimenezi, sanasangalale. Iye anati, “Kwa zaka zambiri, ndinkadziimba mlandu kwambiri chifukwa cha zimene ndinachitazo.” Pokumbukira zimene anachita ali wachinyamata, mlongo wina analemba kuti: “Ukachita chiwerewere, umadziona kukhala wachabechabe. Panopa papita zaka 19 koma zimandipwetekabe ndikamakumbukira.” Mlongo wina anati: “Zinkandipweteka ndiponso kundisokoneza kwambiri ndikaganiza kuti zochita zanga zakhumudwitsa anthu amene ndimawakonda kwambiri. Ubwenzi ndi Yehova ukasokonekera, zinthu siziyenda.” Satana amafuna kuti tisamaganizire mavuto amene tingakumane nawo tikachimwa.

9. (a) Kodi ndi mafunso ati amene tingachite bwino kudzifunsa ponena za Yehova, malamulo ake ndiponso mfundo zake? (b) N’chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kumudziwa bwino kwambiri Mulungu?

N’zomvetsa chisoni kuti achinyamata ambiri m’gulu la Yehova komanso achikulire ena azindikira mfundo imeneyi pambuyo pokumana ndi mavuto. (Agal. 6:7, 8) Choncho dzifunseni kuti: ‘Kodi ndimazindikira ziwembu za Satana akamayesa kundikopa? Kodi ndimaona kuti Yehova ndi mnzanga wapamtima amene amandiuza zoona zokhazokha ndiponso amandifunira zabwino? Kodi ndimakhulupiriradi kuti iye sangandimane chinthu chabwino chimene chingandithandize kukhala wosangalala?’ (Werengani Yesaya 48:17, 18.) Mungathe kuyankha kuti inde mochokera pansi pa mtima ngati mumadziwa bwino kwambiri Yehova. Muyenera kuzindikira kuti anapereka malamulo ndi mfundo zake m’Baibulo chifukwa chokukondani osati kufuna kukupanikizani.—Sal. 25:14.

(1 Maf. 3:7-9, 12) Yehova anayankha pemphero lake lochokera pansi pa mtimali. Akhozanso kuyankha mapemphero anu, kaya ndinu wamng’ono kapena wamkulu. N’zoona kuti Yehova sangakupatseni nzeru m’njira yozizwitsa, koma akhoza kukuthandizani kukhala anzeru. Angatero ngati mumaphunzira mwakhama Mawu ake, kupempha mzimu wake woyera ndiponso kutsatira malangizo amene amapereka kudzera mu mpingo.

Iwo amaposa anthu onse amene amanyalanyaza malangizo a Yehova, kuphatikizapo amene amaonedwa m’dzikoli kuti ndi “anzeru ndi ozama m’maphunziro.”—Luka 10:21; werengani Salimo 119:98-100.

Ndipo sindinayanjane ndi anthu obisa umunthu wawo.” (Sal. 26:4) Lachiwiri limati: “Munthu woyenda ndi anthu anzeru adzakhala wanzeru, koma wochita zinthu ndi anthu opusa adzapeza mavuto.” (Miy. 13:20) Lomaliza limati: “Kugwirizana ndi anthu oipa kumawononga makhalidwe abwino.”—1 Akor. 15:33.

Amafuna kutiteteza kuti tisakhale ndi makhalidwe oipa komanso tisawononge ubwenzi wathu ndi iye. (2) Anthu amene timacheza nawo angatilimbikitse kuchita zabwino kapena zoipa.

Kodi ukumva bwanji mumtima mwako? Uzitsatira kapena suzitsatira?’

¹³ Popeza kuti malembawa analembedwa monga mfundo zoona, amagwirabe ntchito masiku ano ndipo amathandiza anthu pa zochitika zosiyanasiyana. Mungachite bwino kudzifunsa kuti: Kodi ndingapewe bwanji kucheza ndi “anthu obisa umunthu wawo”? Kodi anthu oterewa ndingakumane nawo kuti? (Miy. 3:32; 6:12) Kodi “anthu anzeru” amene Yehova akufuna kuti ndizicheza nawo ndi ati? Nanga “anthu opusa” amene iye akufuna kuti ndiziwapewa ndi ati? (Sal. 111:10; 112:1; Miy. 1:7) Kodi ndi “makhalidwe abwino” ati amene ndingawawononge chifukwa chogwirizana ndi anthu oipa? Kodi anthu osayenera kucheza nawo amangopezeka kudziko kokha? (2 Pet. 2:1-3) Kodi inuyo mungayankhe bwanji mafunso amenewa?

Mukamachita zimenezi, cholinga chanu chizikhala kuthandiza  aliyense m’banjamo kuzindikira kuti Mulungu anapereka malamulo ndi mfundo chifukwa chakuti amatikonda kwambiri.

Mwachitsanzo, Mfumu Davide inalemba kuti: “Ndimakondwera ndi kuchita chifuniro chanu, inu Mulungu wanga, ndipo chilamulo chanu chili mumtima mwanga.” (Sal. 40:8) Nayenso wolemba Salimo 119 anati: “Ndimakonda kwambiri chilamulo chanu!
