Pomwe munkunyang’anisa bzakubvala bzanu bzibvunzeni kuti: ‘Ndingadakhala ndinkuyenda ku mbuto inango komwe Jezu angadakhalambo ali kumweko kodi ndingadabvala cakubvala cimweci?’ (Werengani 1 Timotio 2:9, 10.) Ndingadakhala kuti ndabvala cakubvala cimweci, ‘Kodi wanthu wense wakundiwona wangadadziwa kuti ndine mteweri wa Jezu Kristu?’ Ifepano tingabzibvunze mibvunzo ibodzi-bodziyo pa nkhani yakusankhula mafilme na nyimbo zomwe timbabvesera. Jezu angadakhala akufuna kuwona filme kodi angadakomedwa na kuwona filme ayai kubvesera nyimbo imweyi? Bzingadakhala kuti iye ankukumbira mtedwe wangu wa m’manja ayai thabuleti, ‘kodi ndingadabve manyazi na bzomwe iye angadawone m’mwemo?’ Pa nkhani ya masenzeka yomwe mumbasankhula ya m’mtedwe wa m’manja, bzibvunzeni kuti: ‘Bzingadakhala kuti wandigumana ndinkucita masenzekaya kodi bzingadandinesa kumufotokozera Jezu kuti thangwe ranyi ndimbadekedwa nayo masenzeka yamweya?’ Lufoyi lathu na Yahova lin’dzatithandiza kucosa ciri-cense comwe n’cakuthemera lini ninga nyakupfunza wa Kristu, bziribe basa penu bzintiwawa ayai ne. (Mab. 19:19, 20) Ifepano tidapicira pa nthawe yomwe tikhabzipereka kuti tin’dzacita lini bzomwe tikufuna koma bzomwe Kristu akufuna. Tenepo, tin’funa lini kukhala na cinthu comwe cintitazisa kuteweza mathanya ya Jezu mwa pafupi kwene-kwene.—Mat. 5:29, 30; Waf. 4:8.

Iwo wakhambamunyamula na kanderendere wacimbayenda ku magawo yomwe m’baleyu angadakwanisa kumbapalizira, kuti akwanise cakulinga cace cakufikisa maora 30. Thangwe ranyi mun’sayambo kuthandiza m’bale ayai mpfumakazi ya m’gwere mwanu kuti adzakondwe kutumikira ninga mpainiya wakuthandiza pa nyengo ya cikumbuso? N’cadidi, mpsakukwanisika lini kuti tense titumikire ninga apainiya wakuthandiza. Napo bziri  tenepo, ifepano tingaphatise basa nthawe ayai mphanvu zathu kuti tipereke nsembe zakutumbiza Yahova na miromo yathu.

Iye akhapoza womwe akhaduwala, adalimbisa anyakulemala, adafungula maso ya azimola, anyakusaya kulewalewa adawalewalewesa ndipo adalamusambo anyakufa. (Mat. 11:4, 5) Jezu akhafunisisa kupfunzisa womwe wakhana njala yauzimu, womwe akhawonedwa na atsogoleri wacipembedzo ca Cijuda ninga wanthu ‘wakutembereredwa.’ (Ju. 7:49) Jezu akhafuna wanthu wa kubzicepswa amwewa ndipo akhaphata basa mwamphanvu kuti awasamalire.​—Mat. 20:28.

14. Kodi imwepo pamwekha mun’funika kucita ciyani kuti mulatize lufoyi kwa winango m’gwere lanu?

¹⁴ Nyengo ya cikumbuso imbatipasa mpata wa kutewezera ciratizo ca Jezu, mwa kugawa nthawe kuti ticeze na abale pabodzi na mpfumakazi za m’gwere lathu. Mukacita bzimwebzo, mwakusaya kupenukira imwepo mun’dzawona wanthu winango womwe wan’dzagumana phindu na lufoyi lanu. Pinango pana mpfumakazi ayai m’bale wacikulire omwe an’funa thandizo. Kodi mungamuzungire m’bale ayai mpfumakazi yathu yomwe in’funa thandizo? Kodi mungamuyendesere cakudya, ayai mungamucitire basa linango pamui pace, pinango mungamutakule na kanderendere wanu kuyenda ku mitsonkhano ayai kumbayenda naye pabodzi mu utumiki?

15. Pakukhala wana wa Adamu, kodi ali-wense payekha an’funika kuzindikira ciyani?

¹⁵ Cacitatu, lufoyi la Yahova lin’funika kutilimbisa kumbalekerera abale na mpfumakazi zathu. Pakukhala wana wa Adamu, tense tidabadwa na pikado ndipo cirango cace ni infa. Palibe na m’bodzi wa ifepano omwe angalewe kuti: ‘Inepano  ndin’funikira lini cakulombolera.’ Napo mtumiki wakukhulupirika kwene-kwene wa Yahova, an’funikambo kudeka mtima kukulu kwa Yahova komwe wakupereka mwa Kristu. Ali-wense wa ifepano an’funika kukumbukira kuti ifepano tidalekereredwa mangawa mazinji kwene-kwene. Thangwe ranyi bzimwebzi mpsakufunika? Mbatiwone mtawiro wace mu there la Jezu.

16, 17. (a) Kodi tin’funikira kupfunza ciyani na there la Jezu la mambo omwe adalekerera mangawa mazinjisa kapolo wace? (b) Pambuyo pa kukumbukira there la Jezu kodi ndimwe wakukonzeka kucita ciyani?

¹⁶ Jezu adafotokoza momwe mambo m’bodzi akhadalekerera kapolo wace mangawa ya matalento 10.000, ayai kuti madinario yakukwana 60.000.000. Tsono kapolo omwe adalekereredwa mangawa mazinjiyu akhali lini wakukonzeka kulekerera mangawa ya kapolo mwanzace yomwe yakhali mang’ono-ng’ono ya kobiri zakukwana 100 dinario. Mambo ule adakalipa kwene-kwene atadziwa kuuma mtima kwa kapolo omwe iye akhadamulekerera mangawa yace. Ndipo mamboyo adati: ‘Iwe, kapolo wakuipawe, ine ndakulekerera mangawa yako yense, pomwe iwepo wandidandaulira. Kodi iwepombo ungadaleka lini kumubvera nsisi kapolo mwanzako ule, ninga momwe ine ndakucitira nsisi?’ (Mat. 18:23-35) Inde, kudeka mtima kukulu kwa mambo ule kungadacitisambo kapolo ule kudekera mtima kapolo mwanzace. Mwa kundendemerana na thereli, kodi kudeka mtima kukulu kwa Yahova pabodzi na nsisi zace zin’funa kutilimbisa kucita ciyani?

¹⁷ Pa nyengo ya cikumbuso tingacite bwino kupambula nthawe ya kubzifufudza kuti tiwone penu tidasungira cakukhosi m’bale ayai mpfumakazi yathu. Penu tidasunga, imweyi ni nthawe ya bwino ya kumulekerera pa kutewezera Yahova omwe ambakhala ‘wakukonzeka kulekerera.’ (Neh. 9:17; Psal. 86:5) Ifepano tinkutenda Yahova thangwe ra kutilekerera mangawa yathu mazinjisa, tenepo ifepano tin’funika kumbalekererambo anzathu mwakucokera pansi pa mtima. Tsono, kuti Mulungu atilatize lufoyi na kutilekerera mangawa yathu bzin’funika ifepano tilatizembo lufoyi na kumbalekerera anzathu mangawa yawo. (Mat. 6:14, 15) Napo n’cadidi kuti kulekerera kungacinje lini bza kumbuyo koma mwakusaya kupenukira kun’dzacinja tsogolo lathu licikhala la bwino.

18. Kodi lufoyi la Mulungu lidathandiza tani mpfumakazi kumbalekerera bzakuphonya bza mpfumakazi inango m’gwere?

¹⁸ Azinji wa ifepano ‘kulekerera’ abale na mpfumakazi zathu cingakhale cinthu cakunesa kwene-kwene. (Werengani Wakolose 3:13, 14; Wayefezo 4:32.) Mwa ciratizo, Lily ^[1] ni mpfumakazi yakusaya kulowodwa yomwe idabzipereka kuthandiza mpfumakazi yakufedwa mwamuna ya m’gwere lace yakucemeredwa Carol. Lily akhambamunyamula Carol na kanderendere wace, akhambamunembera matsamba, ndipo akhambamuthandizambo mu njira zinango zakusiyana-siyana. Napo pa bzense bzomwe Lily akhamucitirabzi, Carol akhali munthu wakunesa kwene-kwene kukhala naye. Koma Lily akhambandoyang’ana bzinthu bzabwino bzomwe Carol akhacita. Mpfumakaziyi idapitiriza kuthandiza Carol kwa magole mazinji mpaka pa nthawe yomwe mpfumakaziyi idaduwala icisayika. Napo bziri tenepoyo, Lily adati: “Ndinkufunisisa kudzawonana na Carol atalamusidwa kwa anyakufa. Ndin’funa kudzamudziwa pomwe iye an’dzakhala wakulungamiratu.” Inde, lufoyi la Mulungu lin’dzatilimbisa kulekerera bzakuphonya bza abale na mpfumakazi zathu ndipo ndife wakufunisisa kudzakhala mu nthawe yomwe wanthu wan’dzakhala lini pomwe wakuperewera.
