Muzikondanso kuwerenga nkhani za m’mabuku athu zofotokoza zinthu zosiyanasiyana zomwe Mulungu analenga. (Mat. 6:26, 28) Kuchita zimenezi kungakuthandizeni kuti mudziwe zambiri, muzikonda Yehova komanso kuti muthe kuphunzitsa bwino ana anu.—Luka 6:40.

7, 8. Kodi chimachitika n’chiyani mukaphunzira mfundo yosangalatsa m’Baibulo? Perekani chitsanzo.

⁷ Mukaphunzira mfundo yosangalatsa m’Baibulo, mumafuna kuuza ana anu zimene mwaphunzirazo. Ndi bwino kukambirana nawo nthawi iliyonse osati pokonzekera misonkhano pokha kapena pa kulambira kwa pabanja. Zimakhalanso bwino ngati mukukambirana nawo momasuka  osati mowakakamiza. Makolo ena a ku United States amakonda kukambirana ndi ana awo pamene akudya chakudya chinachake kapena akamaona zachilengedwe. Makolowa anati: “Timakumbutsa ana athu kuti Mulungu anasonyeza chikondi komanso nzeru pa zinthu zimene analenga.” Banja lina la ku South Africa likamalima m’dimba ndi ana awo awiri, limakonda kuwafotokozera zinthu zodabwitsa zimene zimachitika kuti mbewu zimere komanso zikule. Banjali linati: “Timayesetsa kuwaphunzitsa kuti aziyamikira mphatso ya moyo chifukwa zinthu zamoyo zinapangidwa mogometsa.”

Ndiye ndinadzifunsa kuti, ‘Ngati zamoyo zimasintha n’kukhala zinthu zogometsa, n’chifukwa chiyani nyama zakale chonchi zinali zogometsa?’ Ndinaphunzira zambiri pa nyama zimenezi ndipo ndinakambirana ndi mwana wanga zokhudza nyamazi.”

9. Kodi zitsanzo zimathandiza bwanji? Perekani chitsanzo.

⁹ Yesu ankawafika pamtima anthu chifukwa ankakonda kugwiritsa ntchito zitsanzo pophunzitsa. Zitsanzo zinkathandizanso anthu kuganiza komanso kuti asaiwale zimene aphunzira. (Mat. 13:34, 35) Ana amatha kuona zinthu m’maganizo mwawo. Choncho muzigwiritsa ntchito zitsanzo powaphunzitsa. Izi ndi zimene mayi wina wa ku Japan ankachita pophunzitsa ana ake awiri. Mwana wina anali wazaka 10 ndipo wina anali ndi zaka 8. Pa nthawi ina ankafuna kuwaphunzitsa zokhudza zinthu zimene Yehova anaika mlengalenga. Ndiyeno anawapatsa mkaka, shuga ndi khofi n’kuwauza kuti amupangire khofi. Mayiyu anati: “Aliyense anayesetsa kuti apange khofi wabwino.

Kenako ndinawafotokozera kuti Mulungu anaonetsetsa kuti wasakaniza bwino mpweya mlengalenga n’cholinga choti ifeyo tizisangalala ndi moyo padzikoli.” Chitsanzo chimenechi chinali chogwirizana ndi msinkhu wa anawa ndipo chinawathandiza kwambiri. Ayenera kuti sanaiwale zimene anaphunzirapo.

Ndiyeno mungamuuze kuti malangizo analembedwa munthangayo koma kalembedwe kake n’kovuta kwambiri kusiyana ndi mmene timalembera papepala. Pamapeto pake mungamufunse kuti: “Ngati anthu amalemba malangizo a kaphikidwe ka mandasi, kodi ndani analemba malangizo ovuta a kapangidwe ka zipatso?” Ngati mwanayo ndi wamkulu mungamuuze kuti malangizo opangira mtengo ndi zipatso amapezeka mu DNA. Ndiyeno ngati n’zotheka mungaone limodzi kabuku kachingelezi kofotokoza mmene moyo unayambira.—The Origin of Life—Five Questions Worth Asking, tsamba 10 mpaka 20.

¹¹ Makolo ena amakonda kukambirana ndi ana awo nkhani zimene zimapezeka mu Galamukani! zakuti, “Kodi Zinangochitika Zokha?” Nthawi zina amagwiritsa ntchito nkhanizi pofuna kuphunzitsa ana aang’ono nkhani zina zosavuta. Mwachitsanzo, banja lina la ku Denmark linayerekezera ndege ndi mbalame. Linauza ana awo kuti: “Ndege zimafanana ndi mbalame eti? Koma kodi ndege ingaikire mazira n’kuswa anapiye a ndege? Nanga kodi mbalame zikamatera zimafuna bwalo loti ziterepo? Kodi phokoso la ndege lingafanane ndi kulira kosangalatsa kwa mbalame? Ndiye kodi wopanga ndege ndi wopanga mbalame, wanzeru kwambiri ndani?” Mfundo ngati zimenezi komanso mafunso abwino zingathandize ana kuti aziganiza bwino komanso azikhulupirira kwambiri Mulungu.—Miy. 2:10-12.

12. Kodi zitsanzo zingathandize bwanji kuti ana azikhulupirira kwambiri Baibulo?

¹³ Makolo ayeneranso kuthandiza ana kuti azindikire ubwino wa mfundo za m’Baibulo. (Werengani Salimo 1:1-3.) Pali njira zambiri zochitira zimenezi. Mwachitsanzo, mungauze ana anu kuti: ‘Tiyerekeze kuti mukupita pachilumba penapake ndiye mukusankha anthu oti mukakhale nawo. Kuti muzikakhala mwamtendere, kodi mungasankhe anthu otani?’ Kenako mungakambirane nawo malangizo abwino amene ali pa Agalatiya 5:19-23.

¹⁴ Izi zingathandize anawo kumvetsa mfundo ziwiri. Yoyamba, mfundo za Mulungu zimathandiza kuti anthu azikhala mwamtendere komanso mogwirizana. Yachiwiri, Yehova akutiphunzitsa kuti tikonzekere moyo wa m’dziko latsopano. (Yes. 54:13; Yoh. 17:3) Ndiyeno kuti amvetse mfundozi, mungawapatse chitsanzo cha m’mabuku kapena magazini athu. Mwina mungasankhe nkhani ya munthu wina mu Nsanja ya Olonda pamutu wakuti, “Baibulo Limasintha Anthu.” Kapena ngati mumpingo wanu muli munthu amene anasiya makhalidwe oipa kuti asangalatse Yehova, mungamuitane kuti adzafotokoze.

Zimene mukuwaphunzitsazo zizikhala zogwirizana ndi msinkhu wawo, zosangalatsa komanso zolimbitsa chikhulupiriro. Bambo wina anati: “Muziyesetsa kupeza njira zatsopano zofotokozera nkhani zimene munakambirana nawo kale.”

16. N’chifukwa chiyani kuleza mtima n’kofunika pophunzitsa ana? Perekani chitsanzo.

¹⁶ Mzimu woyera ndi umene umathandiza kuti munthu akhale ndi chikhulupiriro. (Agal. 5:22, 23) Koma pamatenga nthawi kuti chikhulupirirocho chilimbe. Choncho muzikhala oleza mtima komanso muzichita khama pophunzitsa ana anu. Bambo wina wa ana awiri wa ku Japan anati: “Ine ndi mkazi wanga timayesetsa kupeza nthawi yokwanira yocheza ndi ana athu. Kungoyambira ali aang’ono, tinkaphunzira nawo kwa 15 minitsi tsiku lililonse, kupatula masiku a misonkhano yampingo. Zinali zosavuta kuti tizipeza 15 minitsi yokha yowaphunzitsa komanso anawo sankatopa.” Woyang’anira dera wina anati: “Ndili mnyamata, ndinali ndi mafunso ambirimbiri moti ena sindinkatha kufunsa. Koma patapita nthawi, ambiri mwa mafunsowa ankayankhidwa pamisonkhano, pa kulambira kwa pabanja kapena ndikamaphunzira pandekha. N’chifukwa chake makolo amafunika kupitirizabe kuphunzitsa ana awo.”

17. Kodi chitsanzo chabwino cha makolo chingathandize bwanji ana? Perekani chitsanzo.

¹⁷ Chofunika kwambiri ndi chitsanzo chanu. Ana anu amaona kwambiri zimene mumachita. Choncho muziyesetsa kuchita zinthu zimene zingakuthandizeni kuti mukhale ndi chikhulupiriro cholimba.

Ankalimbikitsanso ana awowo kuti nawonso azipemphera paokha. Iwo anati: “Tinauzanso mwana wathu wamkazi kuti ‘azidalira kwambiri Yehova, azichita khama pomutumikira ndiponso asamade nkhawa kwambiri.’ Ataona zotsatira zake, anadziwa kuti Yehova akutithandiza. Zimenezi zinapangitsa kuti ayambe kumukhulupirira kwambiri komanso kukhulupirira Baibulo.”

18. Kodi makolo ayenera kukumbukira mfundo iti?
