NYIMBO: 23, 138
1, 2. Kodi kale Mulungu anathandiza bwanji anthu ena? (b) Kodi masiku ano anthu ena amaganiza zotani akadwala?
PA NTHAWI ina mutadwala kwambiri, mwina munadzifunsapo kuti: ‘Koma ndichiradi?’ Kapena munadzifunsapo funso ngati limeneli wachibale kapena mnzanu wina atadwala. Anthufe timada nkhawa anzathu kapena ifeyo tikadwala. Zoterezi zinachitikiranso Ahaziya ndi Beni-hadadi, omwe anali mafumu m’nthawi ya mneneri Eliya ndi Elisa. Ahaziya anali mwana wa Ahabu ndi Yezebeli ndipo atavulala kwambiri ankafuna kudziwa ngati angachire. Pa nthawi ina Beni-hadadi, yemwe anali mfumu ya ku Siriya, anadwalanso kwambiri ndipo anafunsa kuti: “Kodi ndichira matenda angawa?”—2 Maf. 1:2; 8:7, 8.
2 Baibulo limanena kuti kale, Yehova ankachiritsa anthu ena mozizwitsa. Anagwiritsanso ntchito aneneri ake kuti aukitse anthu ena amene amwalira. (1 Maf. 17:17-24; 2 Maf. 4:17-20, 32-35) Chifukwa cha zimenezi, anthu ena akadwala amafuna kudziwa ngati Mulungu angawachiritse.
3-5. Kodi Mulungu ndi Yesu ali ndi mphamvu zotani, nanga m’nkhaniyi tikambirana mafunso ati?
Gen. 12:17; Num. 12:9, 10; 2 Sam. 24:15) Anachenjezanso Aisiraeli kuti akakhala osakhulupirika, adzawagwetsera “nthenda iliyonse ndi mliri.” (Deut. 28:58-61) Koma pa nthawi zina Yehova ankateteza anthu ake kuti asadwale. (Eks. 23:25; Deut. 7:15) Ankathanso kuwachiritsa. Mwachitsanzo, Yobu atadwala kwambiri mpaka kulakalaka atangofa, Mulungu anamuchiritsa.—Yobu 2:7; 3:11-13; 42:10, 16.
3 Baibulo limasonyeza kuti Mulungu angathe kupangitsa kuti munthu adwale kapena kuchira. Mwachitsanzo m’nthawi ya Abulahamu, analanga Farao ndi matenda komanso pa nthawi ina anachititsa kuti Miriamu, mchemwali wake wa Mose, adwale khate. (4 Choncho n’zosakayikitsa kuti Mulungu ali ndi mphamvu zoti angachiritse munthu amene akudwala. N’chimodzimodzinso ndi Mwana wake, Yesu. Baibulo limati Yesu ankachiritsa anthu osaona, ofa ziwalo, odwala khate komanso odwala khunyu. (Werengani Mateyu 4:23, 24; Yoh. 9:1-7) N’zolimbikitsa kwambiri kudziwa kuti zimene Yesu anachitazi zimasonyeza zimene adzachite padziko lonse m’tsogolo. Pa nthawiyo, palibe munthu “amene adzanene kuti: ‘Ndikudwala.’”—Yes. 33:24.
5 Koma kodi panopa tingayembekezere kuti Mulungu kapena Yesu atichiritse tikadwala? Nanga ndi zinthu ziti zimene tiyenera kuganizira tikamasankha mankhwala? M’nkhaniyi tikambirana mafunso amenewa.

6. Kodi Baibulo limati chiyani pa nkhani ya “mphatso za kuchiritsa”?
6 Baibulo limanena kuti kale, Mulungu anapatsa Akhristu ena odzozedwa mphamvu zoti azichita zozizwitsa.

7 Komabe tikadwala, Mulungu angatilimbikitse, kutipatsa nzeru komanso kutithandiza ngati mmene anachitira ndi atumiki ake akale. Mfumu Davide analemba kuti: “Wodala ndi munthu amene amachita zinthu moganizira munthu wonyozeka. Pa tsiku la tsoka, Yehova adzamupulumutsa. Yehova adzamuteteza ndi kumusunga ali wamoyo.” (Sal. 41:1,2) Davide sankatanthauza kuti anthu amene amachita zinthu moganizira ovutika, sangafe. M’malomwake, ankangotanthauza kuti Mulungu amawathandiza anthu oterewa. Koma kodi amawathandiza bwanji? Davide anati, ‘Yehova adzawachirikiza pamene akudwala ndi kuwasamalira bwino kwambiri.’ (Sal. 41:3) Munthu amene amachita zinthu moganizira ovutika ayenera kudziwa kuti Mulungu amaona zabwino zimene amachitazo ndiponso kukhulupirika kwake. Komanso Mulungu amatithandiza chifukwa ndi amene anapanga thupi lathu m’njira yoti lizitha kuchira.
8. Mogwirizana ndi lemba la Salimo 41:4, kodi Davide anapempha chiyani kwa Yehova?
8 Davide analemba kuti: “Ine ndinati: ‘Inu Yehova, ndikomereni mtima. Ndichiritseni, pakuti ndakuchimwirani.’” (Sal. 41:4) N’kutheka kuti apa Davide ankanena za zimene anapempha Yehova pamene Abisalomu ankafuna kulanda ufumu wake. Pa nthawiyo, n’kuti akudwala kwambiri moti sakanatha kulimbana ndi mwana wakeyo. Ankadziwa kuti akukumana ndi mavuto amenewa chifukwa cha tchimo limene anachita ndi Bati-seba. (2 Sam. 12:7-14) Koma Davide ankadziwanso kuti Mulungu anamukhululukira ndipo ankakhulupirira kuti amuthandiza pamene akudwala. Komabe kodi iye ankapempha Mulungu kuti amuchiritse mozizwitsa kapena kumupatsa moyo wautali?
9. (a) Kodi Yehova anathandiza bwanji Mfumu Hezekiya? (b) Kodi Davide ankafuna kuti Yehova amuthandize bwanji?

Komabe pa nthawiyi anasankha kuchiritsa Hezekiya ndipo iye anakhala ndi moyo zaka zinanso 15. (2 Maf. 20:1-6) Koma sikuti Davide ankapempha Mulungu kuti amuchiritse mozizwitsa. Nkhani ya mu Salimo 41 imasonyeza kuti ankangopempha Mulungu kuti amuthandize ngati mmene Mulunguyo akanathandizira anthu amene amaganizira onyozeka. Popeza Davide anali pa ubwenzi wolimba ndi Yehova, anamupempha kuti amulimbikitse, kumusamalira komanso kumuthandiza kuti thupi lake lizigwira ntchito bwino kuti achire. (Sal. 103:3) Ifenso tikadwala tingapemphe Yehova kuti atichitire zimenezi.
10. Kodi tikuphunzira chiyani pa zimene zinachitikira Terofimo ndi Epafurodito?
10 Kale mtumwi Paulo ndiponso anthu ena anapatsidwa mphamvu zochiritsa, koma si Akhristu onse amene ankachiritsidwa mozizwitsa. (Werengani Machitidwe 14:8-10.) Mwachitsanzo, Paulo anachiritsa ‘bambo ake a Papuliyo amene anali chigonere, akuvutika ndi malungo komanso kamwazi.’ Powachiritsa, ‘anapemphera ndiponso kuwasanjika manja.’ (Mac. 28:8) Koma Paulo sanachiritse Terofimo yemwe anayenda naye pa ulendo wina waumishonale. (Mac. 20:3-5, 22; 21:29) Terofimo atadwala moti sakanatha kupitiriza ulendowu, Paulo anamusiya ku Mileto kuti achire. (2 Tim. 4:20) Nayenso Epafurodito, ‘atadwala mpaka kutsala pang’ono kufa,’ Paulo sanamuchiritse ngakhale kuti anali mnzake wapamtima.—Afil. 2:25-27, 30.

11 Luka anali dokotala ndipo ankayendanso ndi Paulo. (Mac. 16:10-12; 20:5, 6; Akol. 4:14) Iye ayenera kuti ankathandiza Paulo ndiponso anthu ena amene ankayenda nawo, akadwala. (Agal. 4:13) Zimene ankachitazi n’zogwirizana ndi zimene Yesu ananena kuti: ‘Odwala amafuna dokotala.’—Luka 5:31.
12 Baibulo silinena kuti Luka anaphunzira kuti ntchito yaudokotala komanso anaphunzira liti. Koma limatiuza kuti Paulo anapereka moni wa Luka kwa Akhristu a ku Kolose. Choncho n’kutheka kuti Luka anaphunzira ntchito yakeyi kufupi ndi ku Kolose, kusukulu ina ya mumzinda wa Laodikaya. Kaya Luka anaphunziradi ntchito yake kumeneko kapena ayi, zimene tikudziwa n’zakuti sankangopereka malangizo okhudza mankhwala koma anali dokotala weniweni. Umboni wa zimenezi ndi mawu okhudza zachipatala amene anagwiritsa ntchito m’buku la Machitidwe ndiponso mu Uthenga Wabwino. Komanso anafotokoza kwambiri mmene Yesu anachiritsira anthu.

Mwachitsanzo, Paulo anapereka malangizo othandiza kwa Timoteyo pamene ankavutika m’mimba chifukwa choti madzi akuderalo sanali * (Werengani 1 Timoteyo 5:23.) Koma izi n’zosiyana kwambiri ndi kukakamiza Akhristu anzathu kuti agwiritse ntchito mtundu winawake wa mankhwala, kudya zakudya zinazake kapena kupewa kudya zinthu zina. N’kutheka kuti zinthuzi sizingawathandize ndipo nthawi zina zikhoza kuwapweteka. Mwachitsanzo, Akhristu ena anganene kuti: ‘Mankhwala amenewa ndi othandiza kwambiri. Akutiakuti aja anali ndi vuto ngati lanuli ndipo anachira atamwa mankhwalawa.’ Koma tizikumbukira kuti ngakhale mankhwala odziwika bwino akhoza kukhala ndi mavuto ake.—Werengani Miyambo 27:12.

M’malomwake angadzifunse kuti: ‘Akuti mankhwalawa anathandizapo munthu wina, koma kodi pali umboni uliwonse woti zimenezi ndi zoona? Ngakhale zitakhala kuti ndi zoona, kodi mankhwala amenewa angandithandizenso ineyo?

Nanga madokotala amaona kuti mankhwalawa ndi othandizadi?’ (Miy. 22:29) Mwachitsanzo, munthu angatiuze kuti anthu a m’mayiko ena angotulukira kumene mankhwalawo ndipo madokotala ambiri sanawadziwe. Kodi zimenezi tiyenera kuzikhulupirira? Anthu ena sangafotokoze bwinobwino kumene mankhwala awo amachokera kapena amati pali mphamvu inayake imene imachititsa kuti mankhwalawo azigwira ntchito.
