Alongo atatu wa magole 80 adapfunzira mwangaphatisire basa kompiyuta pakulalikira ntsiku iliyose.’ (Sal. 92:14, 15) Ko mungafune kuingizira utumiki wanu kuti mulawe na kuphindula maninge na ubwino wa Yahova?

Venze vodabwisa maninge.’ Minyezi yawiri patsogolo pake, iye adayambiratu upainiya. Iye manje anamagole ya m’ma 70 ndipo wachita upainiya kwa magole 20. Panthawe yose mweyi, iye wathandiza wanthu wokwana 8 mpakana kufika pobatizika. Iye adati: ‘Podiya kuti nthawe zinango nifika poneta, Yahova  achanithandiza kuti nipitirize kuchita upainiya.’

Mwakulinganiza, kuti Yahova adalise Abulahamu, adayamba wawona kuti iye wasiya nyumba yake ‘podiya kuti ambadziwalini komwe ankuyenda.’ (Aheb. 11:8) Yakobo adayamba walimbana na mngelo kuti adalisiwe bwino.

Pomwe nthawe imbapita tikundomunyang’ana, timbakhumbira mpaka kufunambo ‘kulawa nkuwona kuti Yahova ni wabwino.’’ Payton na Diana adafulukira kudera yomwe kumbafunika olalikira azinji. Ko imwepo mudawerengako kale nkhani mwizi? Ko mudanyang’anirako kale mavidiyo yakuti: Kulalikira M’dera Lakutali—Australia na yakuti Kulalikira M’dera Lakutali—Ireland yomwe yali pa jw.org?

Tidadziwa kuti kubverana maninge na wanthu womwe achafaga Ufumu chakuyamba kuchathandiza kuti tichitembo vizinji.’ Kent na Veronica manjeuno ankuchita upainiya wapadera ku Sérvia.

16. Mobverana na fanizo ya Yesu yogumanika pa Luka 12:16-21, ndawa chani tichadekana kukhala wofunisisa kuchita vizinji?

¹⁶ Tumikirani Yahova mwakhama. Sikuti tingachite kudzimaniratu vinthu vose pakufuna kukondweresa Yahova. (Mla. 5:19, 20) Podiya vili tene, tikalekeratu kuchita vizinji pa basa ya Mulungu, tingalingane na munthu wa mufanizo ya Yesu yemwe adayesesa kukhala na vinthu vizinji koma angatumikiralini Mulungu. (Lewengani Luka 12:16-21.)

Koma kuti akwanilise cholinga chawo mwechi, angadekana kusiya basa yawo. Kuti  akwanise kudzisamalira adayamba basa yotsukatsuka vinthu ndipo iwo adapfunzira kukhala wokhutira.

18. Ko nchani chingatithandize kugwebana na mabvuto yathu pomwe tinkuyesesa kuingizira utumiki wathu?

¹⁸ Khalani na cholinga ndipo yesesani kuchikwanirisa. Tikambagumana na mabvuto, tichayesesa kupemphera kwa Yahova kuti atithandize kuwona vatingachite.

Pa meza pangu nidanembapo njira ziwiri zoyenda ku malo yosiyana. Nikafuna kusalula vochita, nichanyang’ana njira zire nkumbadzibvunza kuti nisalule viponi.’ Sonia achayesesa kuganiza bwino pa mabvuto yomwe ankugumana nayo. Iye adati: ‘Vilivose vomwe vinganichitikire, chiri kwa inepano kusankhula kuti ko niviwone ninge chipupa chomwe chinikangise kukwanirisa volinga vangu panango ninge biridji yomwe inithandize kuvikwanirisa.’

¹⁹ Yahova achatidalisa munjira zosiyanasiyana. Tingawonese kuti tinkutembeja madaliso mwaya mwakuchita vose vatingakwanise kuti timukondwerese. (Aheb. 13:15) Vimwevi vingaphatanidzepo kuwona njira zatingaingizirire utumiki wathu, ndipo Yahova angatidalise maninge. Ntsiku iliyose naboni timbayesese ‘kulawa kuti tiwone kuti Yahova ni wabwino.’ Tikateno tidzakhale ninge Yesu yemwe adati: ‘Chakudya changu ni kuchita vofuna va yemwe adanituma na kumaliza basa yake.’—Yoh. 4:34.
