1-2. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani masiku ano anthu ambiri zimawavuta kukhulupirira anthu amene ali ndi udindo? (b) Kodi tikambirana chiyani munkhaniyi?

 MASIKU ano anthu ambiri zimawavuta kukhulupirira amene ali ndi udindo. Iwo amaona kuti maboma komanso malamulo amateteza anthu olemera komanso audindo, koma sachitira chilungamo anthu osauka. Baibulo limanena molondola kuti: “Munthu wapweteka munthu mnzake pomulamulira.” (Mlal. 8:9) Kuwonjezera pamenepo, atsogoleri ena achipembedzo amachita zinthu zoipa. Zimenezi zachititsa kuti anthu ena asamakhulupirire Mulungu. Choncho tikamaphunzira Baibulo ndi munthu, timafunika kumuthandiza kuti ayambe kukhulupirira Yehova komanso anthu amene iye wawasankha kuti azitsogolera gulu lake.

² Komabe si ophunzira Baibulo okha amene amafunika kuphunzira kuti azikhulupirira Yehova ndi gulu lake. Ngakhale ife amene takhala tikutumikira Yehova kwa zaka zambiri, timafunika tisamakayikire kuti nthawi zonse Yehova amachita zinthu m’njira yoyenera. Nthawi zina pangachitike zinthu zina zomwe zingachititse kuti tiyambe kukayikira Yehova. Munkhaniyi tikambirana mbali zitatu pamene chikhulupiriro chathu chingayesedwe: (1) tikamawerenga nkhani zina za m’Baibulo, (2) tikalandira malangizo kuchokera kugulu la Yehova ndiponso (3) tikadzakumana ndi mavuto m’tsogolo.

3. Kodi nkhani zina za m’Baibulo zingatichititse bwanji kukayikira mmene Yehova amachitira zinthu?

 ³ Tikamawerenga Mawu a Mulungu mwina tingamadabwe tikaganizira mmene Yehova anachitira zinthu ndi anthu ena komanso chifukwa chake anasankha kuchita zinazake. Mwachitsanzo, m’buku la Numeri timawerenga kuti Yehova anaweruza kuti Mwisiraeli wina aphedwe chifukwa chotola nkhuni pa tsiku la Sabata. M’buku la 2 Samueli, timawerenga kuti patapita zaka zambiri Yehova anakhululukira Mfumu Davide atachita tchimo lachigololo komanso kupha munthu. (Num. 15:32, 35; 2 Sam. 12:9, 13) Ndiye mwina tingadabwe kuti: ‘N’chifukwa chiyani Yehova anakhululukira Davide yemwe anapha munthu komanso kuchita chigololo koma n’kuweruza kuti munthu amene anachita tchimo looneka ngati laling’ono aphedwe?’ Kuti tiyankhe funsoli, tingafunike kuganizira zinthu zitatu zimene tiyenera kukumbukira tikamawerenga Baibulo.

4. Kodi pa Genesis 18:20, 21 komanso Deuteronomo 10:17, amatithandiza bwanji kuti tisamakayikire mmene Yehova amachitira zinthu?

⁴ Nthawi zina Baibulo silifotokoza mfundo zonse zokhudza nkhani inayake. Mwachitsanzo, timadziwa kuti Davide analapa mochokera pansi pa mtima pa zimene anachita. (Sal. 51:2-4) Koma bwanji za munthu yemwe anaphwanya lamulo la Sabata uja? Kodi anadzimvera chisoni chifukwa cha zimene anachita? Kodi analepherapo kumvera malamulo ena a Yehova m’mbuyomo? Kodi ananyalanyaza kapena kukana kumvera machenjezo omwe anapatsidwapo? Baibulo silinena. Komabe chomwe tikudziwa n’chakuti Yehova “sachita chosalungama.” (Deut. 32:4) Iye amachita zinthu poganizira mbali zonse za nkhaniyo, osati pongotengera zimene ena anena, tsankho kapenanso zinthu zina zomwe nthawi zambiri zimachititsa kuti anthu asamaweruze mwachilungamo. (Werengani Genesis 18:20, 21; Deuteronomo 10:17.) Tikamaphunzira kwambiri za Yehova komanso mfundo zake, m’pamenenso timayamba kumukhulupirira kwambiri pa nkhani ya mmene amachitira zinthu. Ngakhale pamene tikuwerenga nkhani inayake ya m’Baibulo ndipo tili ndi mafunso amene sitinapeze mayankho ake, timadziwa kuti Mulungu wathu “ndi wolungama m’njira zake zonse.”​—Sal. 145:17.

5. Popeza si ife angwiro, kodi zimenezi zingakhudze bwanji mmene timaonera zinthu zina? (Onaninso bokosi lakuti, “ Sitiona Zinthu Moyenera Chifukwa Si Ife Angwiro.”)

⁵ Tingalephere kuweruza moyenera chifukwa choti si ife angwiro. Mulungu anatilenga m’chifaniziro chake, choncho timafunitsitsa kuona anthu akuchitiridwa zinthu mwachilungamo. (Gen. 1:26) Koma chifukwa choti si ife angwiro, sitingamaone moyenera nkhani zina ngakhale pamene tikuganiza kuti tikudziwa mfundo zonse zokhudza nkhanizo. Mwachitsanzo, taganizirani mmene Yona anakhumudwira chifukwa choti Yehova anasonyeza chifundo anthu a ku Nineve. (Yona 3:10–4:1) Ndiye taganiziranso zimene zinachitika chifukwa choti Yehova anawasonyeza chifundo. Anthu okwanira 120,000 a ku Nineve omwe analapa anapulumutsidwa. Pamapeto pake, Yona ndi amene ankafunika kuthandizidwa kuti asinthe maganizo, osati Yehova.

6. N’chifukwa chiyani Yehova safunikira kutifotokozera chilichonse chimene wasankha?

⁶ Sikuti Yehova amachita kufunikira kufotokozera anthu chifukwa chake wasankhira zinazake. N’zoona kuti m’mbuyomu nthawi zina Yehova ankalola atumiki ake kufotokoza maganizo awo pa zimene iye wachita kapena zimene akufuna kuchita. (Gen. 18:25; Yona 4:2, 3) Ndipo pa nthawi zingapo anafotokoza chifukwa chake anachita zinazake. (Yona 4:10, 11) Komabe sikuti Yehova amafunikira kutifotokozera chilichonse. Monga Mlengi wathu, sachita kufunika chilolezo chathu kuti achite zinazake.​—Yes. 40:13, 14; 55:9.

7. Kodi tingakumane ndi vuto lotani, nanga n’chifukwa chiyani?

⁷ Timakhulupirira ndi mtima wonse kuti zimene Yehova amachita nthawi zonse zimakhala zoyenera. Komabe mwina tingamavutike kukhulupirira anthu amene iye akuwagwiritsa ntchito. Tingamakayikire ngati anthu amene ali ndi udindo m’gulu la Yehova akuchita zinthu mogwirizana ndi malangizo a Yehovayo kapena maganizo awo. N’kutheka kuti anthu enanso akale ankaganiza choncho. Taganizirani zitsanzo zomwe zatchulidwa  mundime 3. Mwina wachibale wa munthu yemwe anaphwanya lamulo la Sabata ankakayikira ngati Mose anafunsa kaye Yehova asanaweruze kuti munthuyo aphedwe. Ndipo mnzake wa Uriya Mhiti, yemwe mkazi wake anachita chigololo ndi Davide akanaona kuti Davide anagwiritsa ntchito udindo wake monga mfumu pothawa chilango chomwe ankayenera kupatsidwa. Mfundo yosatsutsika ndi yakuti sitinganene kuti timakhulupirira Yehova pamene sitikhulupirira anthu omwe iye amawakhulupirira ndipo amawagwiritsa ntchito.

8. Kodi pali kufanana kotani pakati pa zimene zafotokozedwa pa Machitidwe 16:4, 5, ndi mmene zinthu zimachitikira mumpingo masiku ano?

⁸ Masiku ano Yehova amatsogolera mbali yapadziko lapansi ya gulu lake pogwiritsa ntchito “kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru.” (Mat. 24:45) Mofanana ndi bungwe lolamulira la munthawi ya atumwi, kapoloyu amatsogolera anthu a Mulungu padziko lonse ndipo amapereka malangizo kwa akulu. (Werengani Machitidwe 16:4, 5.) Akulu nawonso amagwiritsa ntchito malangizowo m’mipingo. Timasonyeza kuti timakhulupirira mmene Yehova amachitira zinthu potsatira malangizo ochokera kugulu lake komanso kwa akulu.

9. Kodi ndi pa nthawi iti pamene zingativute kutsatira zimene akulu asankha, nanga n’chifukwa chiyani?

Nthawi zina, akulu amapempha ofalitsa ena kuti asamukire kumipingo ina n’cholinga choti mipando m’Nyumba ya Ufumu izigwiritsidwa ntchito mokwanira. Ngati atatipempha kusamukira mumpingo wina, mwina tingaone kuti n’zovuta kusiyana ndi anzathu komanso achibale. Kodi akulu amauzidwa mwanjira inayake ndi Mulungu kuti asamutsire ofalitsa mumpingo winawake? Ayi. Choncho izi zingachititse kuti zizitivuta kuti titsatire malangizo omwe tapatsidwa. Koma Yehova amakhulupirira kuti akulu asankha bwino pa nkhani zimenezi ndipo ifenso tiyenera kuwakhulupirira. *

(Aef. 4:2, 3) Zinthu zimayenda bwino mumpingo, anthu onse akamatsatira modzichepetsa zimene bungwe la akulu lasankha. (Werengani Aheberi 13:17.) Koma chofunika kwambiri n’chakuti timamusonyeza Yehova kuti timamukhulupirira tikamachita zinthu mogwirizana ndi anthu omwe wawapatsa udindo wotisamalira.​—Mac. 20:28.

12. Kodi akulu amayenera kuganizira mfundo ziti kuti adziwe ngati munthu ndi wolapa?

Mwa zina, iwo amafunika kufufuza kuti adziwe ngati munthuyo akudzimveradi chisoni chifukwa cha tchimo lakelo. Munthu angamanene kuti walapa, koma kodi akudanadi ndi zimene anachita? Kodi watsimikiza kuti sadzabwerezanso tchimolo? Ngati anachita tchimolo chifukwa chogwirizana ndi anthu oipa, kodi iye ndi wofunitsitsa kusiya kugwirizana nawo? Akulu amapempherera nkhaniyo, kufufuza mfundo za m’Malemba komanso kuona mmene munthuyo akuganizira. Akatero amaona ngati wochimwayo angapitirize kukhala mumpingo. Nthawi zina wochimwayo amafunika kuchotsedwa.​—1 Akor. 5:11-13.

Ngati munthu wosalapayo atapitiriza kukhala mumpingo, angalimbikitse anthu ena kuti azichita zoipa. (Agal. 5:9) Kuwonjezera pamenepo, iye sangazindikire kukula kwa tchimo lake ndipo sangaone kufunika koti asinthe mmene amaganizira komanso zochita zake n’cholinga choti akhalenso pa ubwenzi ndi Yehova. (Mlal. 8:11) Tingakhale otsimikiza kuti akulu akafuna kusankha ngati munthu akufunika kuchotsedwa, saona udindo wawo mopepuka. Iwo amadziwa kuti mofanana ndi oweruza a m’nthawi ya Isiraeli, ‘sakuweruzira munthu koma akuweruzira Yehova.’​—2 Mbiri 19:6, 7.

Mungadziwe zimene mudzachite pa nthawiyo, mukaganizira zomwe mumachita mukalandira malangizo ochokera kugulu la Yehova panopa. Ngati mumakhulupirira malangizo omwe timapatsidwa masiku ano, n’kumawatsatira mofunitsitsa, n’zosakayikitsa kuti mudzachitanso zomwezo pa chisautso chachikulu.​—Luka 16:10.
