Koma vuto ndi lakuti zimalimbikitsanso makhalidwe komanso maganizo osemphana ndi mfundo za Yehova.

Anthu ambiri amaona kuti mfundo za m’Baibulo pa nkhaniyi zimangophera anthu ufulu.—1 Akor. 6:9, 10.

5. Kodi tingapewe bwanji kuyendera maganizo a Satana amene afala m’dzikoli?

⁵ Kodi anthu amene amakonda Yehova angapewe bwanji kuyendera maganizo a Satana amene afalawa? N’chiyani chingawathandize kusiyanitsa zoyenera ndi zolakwika? Chofunika ndi “kudziyang’anira ndi kuchita zinthu mogwirizana ndi mawu” a Mulungu. (Sal. 119:9) Baibulo lili ndi malangizo otithandiza kusiyanitsa mfundo zoona ndi zabodza. (Miy. 23:23) Yesu anagwira Malemba n’kunena kuti “mawu onse otuluka pakamwa pa Yehova” ndi amene angathandize munthu kukhala ndi moyo. (Mat. 4:4) Choncho tiyenera kutsatira mfundo za m’Baibulo pa moyo wathu. Mwachitsanzo, Mose asanalembe lamulo la Yehova loletsa chigololo, Yosefe anazindikira kuti zimenezi n’zolakwika pamaso pa Mulungu. Mkazi wa Potifara anayesetsa kumunyengerera koma anakanitsitsa poopa kukhumudwitsa Yehova. (Werengani Genesis 39:7-9.) Zimenezi zinachitika kwa nthawi yaitali ndithu koma Yosefe sanalole kuti zonena zakezo zimulepheretse kuchita zimene Mulungu amafuna. Kuti tithe kusiyanitsa zoyenera ndi zolakwika, tiyenera kumvetsera mawu a Yehova n’kupeweratu mabodza amene Satana amafalitsa.

Ndiye tiyenera ‘kudziwa bwino mawu’ a Yesu n’kumawatsatira  chifukwa Yehova wasankha Yesuyo kuti azitsogolera nkhosa zake.—Werengani Yohane 10:3-5.

Koma tikapanda kusamala, tikhoza kumayendera malangizo a Satana m’malo motsatira malangizo othandiza a Yehova.

Tayerekezerani kuti munthu wina akutengeka ndi zimene zikumusangalatsa pa nthawiyo mpaka kufika pochita zinthu zolakwika zimene poyamba sankaganiza kuti angazichite.

Mwina sanaone zizindikiro zoti wayamba kulakalaka zoipa mumtima mwake kapena anangonyalanyaza zizindikirozo. Mwachitsanzo, mwina anasiya kupemphera, kulalikira mwakhama kapena kupezeka pa misonkhano. Ndiyeno anayamba kutengeka ndi zofuna za mtima wake n’kuchita zinthu zimene ankadziwa kuti n’zolakwika. Tikhoza kupewa zoterezi ngati tikhala tcheru kuti tione zizindikiro zoti tayamba kulakalaka zoipa n’kusinthiratu. Tikamamvetsera mawu a Yehova tidzapeweratu zonena za ampatuko.—Miy. 11:9.

Ndiye tikangozindikira zimenezi, tizisinthiratu. Tikapanda kutero ‘Mdyerekezi angatigwire amoyo kuti akwaniritse cholinga chake.’ (2 Tim. 2:26) Kodi tingatani ngati tazindikira kuti tayamba kusochera? Tiyenera kudzichepetsa n’kubwerera kwa Yehova mwamsanga ndipo tiziyesetsa kumumvetsera ndi mtima wathu wonse. (Yes. 44:22) Tisaiwale  kuti kulakwitsa zinthu zina kungachititse kuti tizunzike ndi zotsatira zake kwa moyo wathu wonse m’dziko loipali. Bola tizisithiratu tikangozindikira kuti mtima wathu wayamba kutisocheretsa.

¹² Tiyeni tsopano tikambirane za dyera. Nthawi zambiri munthu wadyera amachita zinthu mopitirira malire. Namani, yemwe anali mkulu wa asilikali a Siriya, ankadwala khate. Elisa atamuchiritsa, iye ankafuna kupereka mphatso koma Elisa anakana. Ndiyeno Gehazi, yemwe anali mtumiki wa Elisa, ankafuna kwambiri mphatsozo. Choncho ananena mumtima mwake kuti: “Pali Yehova Mulungu wamoyo, ndim’thamangira [Namani] kuti ndikatengeko zinthu zina kwa iye.” Iye anazemba n’kumuthamangiradi. Atamupeza anamunamiza kenako n’kumuuza kuti amupatse “talente imodzi ya siliva ndi zovala ziwiri.” Kodi chinachitika n’chiyani Gehazi atachita zinthu mobisira mneneri wa Yehova? Gehazi anayamba kudwala khate la Namani lija.—2 Maf. 5:20-27.

¹³ Dyera limayamba pang’onopang’ono. Koma ngati munthu sasintha, khalidweli limakula mwamsanga n’kufika poipa. Chitsanzo pa nkhaniyi ndi Akani. Taonani mmene zinthu zinachitikira mofulumira kwambiri. Iye anati: “Nditaona chovala chamtengo wapatali cha ku Sinara, pakati pa katundu wotsalayo, chokongola m’maonekedwe, komanso masekeli a siliva 200, ndi mtanda umodzi wa golide wolemera masekeli 50, ndinazikhumba zinthuzo, ndipo ndinazitenga.” M’malo modziletsa, Akani anachita dyera ndipo anaba zinthuzo n’kukazisunga muhema wake. Zimene anachitazi zitadziwika, Yoswa anamuuza kuti Yehova amulanga. Tsiku lomwelo, banja lonse la Akani linaphedwa. (Yos. 7:11, 21, 24, 25) Aliyense akhoza kuyamba dyera nthawi iliyonse. N’chifukwa chake timalangizidwa kuti “chenjerani ndi kusirira kwa nsanje kwamtundu uliwonse.” (Luka 12:15) N’zoona kuti nthawi zina maganizo oipa akhoza kubwera mumtima mwathu koma tiyenera kuwachotsa mwamsanga zinthu zisanafike poipa.—Werengani Yakobo 1:14, 15.

14. Kodi tiyenera kuchita chiyani tikayamba mtima wodzikuza kapena wadyera?

¹⁴ Zotsatira za kudzikuza ndiponso dyera  zingakhale zoipa kwambiri. Kuganizira kwambiri zotsatirazo kungatithandize kuti tisasiye kumvetsera mawu a Yehova. (Deut. 32:29) M’Baibulo, Mulungu amatiuza zoyenera kuchita ndiponso ubwino wake. Koma amatiuzanso mavuto amene tingakumane nawo ngati sitichita zinthuzo. Tikayamba kulakalaka zinthu zina chifukwa cha kudzikuza kapena dyera tingachite bwino kwambiri kuganizira zotsatira zake.

15. Kodi Yesu anapereka chitsanzo chotani pa nkhani yopemphera?

¹⁵ Yehova amatifunira zabwino kwambiri. (Sal. 1:1-3) Iye amatipatsa malangizo oyenera pa nthawi yoyenera. (Werengani Aheberi 4:16.) Ngakhale kuti Yesu anali wangwiro, ankapemphera kwa Yehova nthawi zonse. Yehova ankamuthandiza ndiponso kumutsogolera m’njira zapadera. Mwachitsanzo, anatumiza angelo kudzamutumikira, anamupatsa mzimu woyera kuti uzimuthandiza ndiponso anamutsogolera posankha atumwi 12. Yehova analankhula kuchokera kumwamba mawu osonyeza kuti iye amasangalala ndi Yesu ndipo azimuthandiza. (Mat. 3:17; 17:5; Maliko 1:12, 13; Luka 6:12, 13; Yoh. 12:28) Nafenso tiyenera kupemphera kuchokera pansi pa mtima. (Sal. 62:7, 8; Aheb. 5:7) Tikatero ubwenzi wathu ndi Yehova udzalimba kwambiri ndipo tizichita zinthu zomulemekeza.

16. Kodi tingatani kuti Yehova atithandize kumvetsera mawu ake?

¹⁶ Yehova amapereka malangizo ake kwaulere koma sakakamiza aliyense kuti aziwatsatira. Tiyeni tizimupempha kuti atipatse mzimu woyera chifukwa iye amapereka mowolowa manja. (Werengani Luka 11:10-13.)

Tiyenera kuchita zinthu zimene zingathandize kuti tilandire mzimu wa Yehova. N’zosachita kufunsa kuti Yehova amapereka mzimu wake pa misonkhano yampingo. Kumvetsera pa misonkhano kwathandiza atumiki a Yehova ambiri kupewa mavuto. Mfundo za pa misonkhano zinawathandiza kuzindikira kuti ayamba kulakalaka zoipa ndipo anasintha mwamsanga.—Sal. 73:12-17; 143:10.

17. Kodi kudzidalira n’koopsa bwanji?

¹⁷ Tsopano taganizirani za Mfumu Davide. Iye ali wachinyamata anagonjetsa chimunthu champhamvu kwambiri dzina lake Goliyati. Kenako Davide anakhala msilikali komanso mfumu. Iye ankateteza Aisiraeli ndiponso kuwauza zoyenera kuchita. Koma pamene Davide anayamba kudzidalira, mtima wake unamusokoneza. Iye anafika pochita chigololo ndi Bati-seba ndipo anakonzanso zoti mwamuna wake aphedwe. Koma Davide atadzudzulidwa anadzichepetsa n’kuvomera tchimo lake ndipo anakonzanso ubwenzi wake ndi Yehova.—Sal. 51:4, 6, 10, 11.

18. N’chiyani chingatithandize kuti tizimvetsera mawu a Yehova nthawi zonse?
