Mu nkhani ino, cakuyamba tin’pfunza momwe tingakhundulire unthu bwakale na thangwe lomwe kucitira bzimwebzo n’kwakufunika. Tiniwona pomwe kuti mpsakukwanisika kuti munthu acinje moyo wace napo kuti iye adacita bzinthu bzakuipa kwene-kwene. Tin’pfunzambo bzomwe wale omwe ana magole mazinji m’cadidi angacite kuti atcenkhe unthu bwakale. Tsono n’thangwe ranyi tin’funika kucezerana bzinthu bzimwebzi? Thangwe ndakuti winango omwe ankutumikira Yahova adaleka kukhala wakusamala. Iwo adayamba kukumbuka na kucita bzinthu bzomwe akhabzicita pomwe akhanati kudziwa Yahova.

Mpsibodzi-bodzimbo na ifepano, tikazindikira kuti tinkucita bzinthu bzomwe Yahova ambawenga, tin’funika kucinja mwakamfulumize. Pa kulewa bza bzicito bzakuipabzi, Paulo adati: ‘Bzensenebzi bzitayeni kutali na imwe.’ Bwerani ticezerane bzinthu bziwiri pa bzinthu bzakuipa bzomwe Paulo adalewa: unzazi na bzinthu bzakupswipiza.—Werengani Wakoloso 3:5-9.

Bzimwebzi bzinkuthandauza kuti tin’funika  kucita nyongo ikulu kwene-kwene kuti timalise bzikhumbo bzakuipa. Ndipo kucita bzimwebzi n’kwakunesa koma kungabwerese phindu!

⁷ Onani ciratizo ca mpfumakazi inango yakucemeredwa Sakura wa ku Japão. * (Onani mafala ya m’nyansi.) Pomwe Sakura akhakula, iye kawiri-kawiri akhabziwona kuti ali yekha ndipo akhakhala wakusunama. Kuti amalise bvuto lacero, pomwe akhana magole 15 yakubadwa iye adayamba kumbagonana na amuna azinji ndipo adataya mimba katatu kense.

Koma pomwe ndikhapitiriza kucita bzimwebzi, ndidayamba kuwona kuti ndiri lini wakukhotcerereka.” Ndipo Sakura adapitiriza na moyo umweyu mpaka pomwe adapfitsa magole 23. Patsogolo pace iye adayamba kupfunza Bibliya na Mboni za Yahova ndipo akhakomedwa na bzomwe akhapfunzabzo. Yahova adamuthandiza kusiya moyo wace wa unzazi, kulimbana na makumbukidwe yakubzipasa mulandu na kumalisa manyazi. Nsiku zino Sakura ankutumikira ninga mpainiya wakukhazikika ndipo iye ambabzibva lini pomwe ninga kuti ali yekha. Iye ankulewa kuti: “Tsapano ndine wakukondwa kwene-kwene thangwe ra lufoyi likulu lomwe Yahova ambandilatiza nsiku na nsiku.”

¹⁰ Wanthu azinji ambaneseka kuleka kuwona bzinthu bza maika. Koma mpsakukwanisika kukunda bvutoli. Onani ciratizo ca Ribeiro wa ku Brazil. Pomwe akhali tswaka, iye adacoka pa mui aciyenda kukaphata basa ku fabrika inango yakukonza matsamba yakunembera. Kumweko iye akhambawona mabukhu yakuwonesa bzithunzi-thunzi bza maika. Iye adati: “Pang’ono na pang’ono ndidayamba kuzolowera bzinthu bza maika. Ndipo idafika nthawe yomwe ndikhambacita kukhumba kuti mkazi omwe ndikhakhala naye ambakazunge  kuti ndipfatse na vidiyo za maika.” Koma nsiku inango ali kubasako, Ribeiro adawona mabukhu yakusiyana-siyana ndipo pakati pa mabukhuyo pakhana bukhu lakuti Chinsinsi cha Chimwemwe cha Banja. Iye adatenga bukhulo ndipo adayamba kuliwerenga. Na kukomedwa na bzomwe adawerengabzo, adafunisisa kupfunza Bibliya na Mboni za Yahova. Koma padatenga nthawe itali kuti Ribeiro akwanise kusiya cizolowezi cace ca kumbawona bzinthu bza maika. Kodi n’ciyani comwe cidamuthandiza? Iye adafotokoza kuti: “Kucita mpembo, kupfunza Bibliya na kukumbukira bzomwe ndikhawerengabzo, bzidandithandiza kufuna kwene-kwene Yahova mpaka lufoyi langu kwa iye lidakhala lakulimba kuposa cikhumbo cangu ca kuwona bzinthu bza maika.” Na thandizo la Bibliya na mzimu wakucena wa Mulungu, Ribeiro adacinja khalidwe lace, mpaka adafika pa kubatizidwa ndipo tsapano iye ankutumikira ninga mkulu wa gwere.

11. Kodi n’ciyani comwe cingathandize munthu kumalisa cikhumbo ca kuwona bzinthu bza maika?

Bzimwebzi ndibzo bzomwe bzidathandiza Ribeiro kuti lufoyi lace kwa Mulungu likhale lakulimba, acimalisa cikhumbo cace ca kumbawona bzinthu bza maika. Tenepo, kuti timalise cikhumbo ca kumbawona bzinthu bza maika, tin’funika kumbafuna kwene-kwene Yahova na kuwenga bzinthu bzakuipa.—Werengani Psalymo 97:10.

12. Kodi n’ciyani comwe cidathandiza Stephen kumalisa ukali na kutukwana?

¹² Wanthu winango ambakalipa mwakamfulumize ndipo ambalewa mafala yakuipa na kutukwana anzawo. Bzimwebzi bzikacitika, bzimbabweresa mabvuto makulu m’banja. Onani ciratizo ca Stephen wa ku Austrália omwe akhambandokalipa na cinthu ciri-cense napo cing’ono. Iye adati: “Ine na mkazangu tidapumirana katatu kense ndipo tikhadasala pang’ono kulambana.” Na nthawe iwo adayamba kupfunza Bibliya na Mboni za Yahova, ndipo Stephen akhaphatisa basa bzomwe akhapfunzabzo. Iye adafotokoza kuti pomwe akhanati kudziwa Yahova, akhakalipa na cinthu ciri-cense comwe cikhamukhumudwisa, iye akhabzibva ninga bomba lomwe likufuna kuphulika. Koma pomwe Stephen adayamba kuteweza malango ya m’Bibliya, bzinthu bzidayamba kufamba bwino pa moyo wace. Iye adalewa kuti: “Moyo wa banja lathu udacinja mwakudabwisa kwene-kwene.

Nsiku zino, wanthu azinji ambawona kuti ukali na khalidwe laciwembo ni bzinthu bzomwe bziribe kuipa. Tsono cadidi n’cakuti makhalidweya yambakondwesa lini Mulengi wathu.
