Mwachitsanzo, masana ankawatsogolera pogwiritsa ntchito chipilala cha mtambo ndipo usiku pogwiritsa ntchito chipilala cha moto.

(2 Sam. 12:7, 13; 1 Mbiri 17:3, 4) Mfumu Yehosafati inkadalira malangizo a mneneri Yahazieli ndipo inalimbikitsa anthu a ku Yuda kuti ‘azikhulupirira aneneri a [Mulungu].’ (2 Mbiri 20:14, 15, 20) Atathedwa nzeru, Mfumu Hezekiya anapempha malangizo kwa mneneri Yesaya. (Yes. 37:1-6) Nthawi zonse mafumu akamatsatira malangizo a Yehova, ankadalitsidwa ndipo mtundu wonse unkakhala wotetezeka. (2 Mbiri 20:29, 30; 32:22) Apa aliyense akanatha kuona kuti Yehova ankagwiritsa ntchito aneneriwo potsogolera anthu ake. Komabe mafumu ambiri komanso anthu, sankamvera aneneri a Yehova.​—Yer. 35:12-15.

MMENE YEHOVA ANKATSOGOLERERA ANTHU AKE M’NTHAWI YA ATUMWI

9. Kodi Yehova anasankha ndani kuti azitsogolera Akhristu m’nthawi ya atumwi? (Onaninso chithunzi.)

⁹ Pa Pentekosite wa mu 33 C.E., Yehova anakhazikitsa mpingo wa Chikhristu. Kodi ankatsogolera bwanji Akhristu amenewo? Iye anasankha Yesu kuti akhale mutu wa mpingo.

¹⁰ Kodi Akhristu a m’nthawi ya atumwi ankatsatira malangizo? Ambiri ankamvera komanso kutsatira malangizo. Ndipotu ‘ankasangalala chifukwa cha mawu olimbikitsa’ omwe ankalandira. (Werengani Machitidwe 15:30, 31.) Ndiye kodi Yehova akutsogolera bwanji anthu ake masiku ano?

MMENE YEHOVA AMATITSOGOLERERA MASIKU ANO

Kodi pali umboni wosonyeza kuti m’masiku athu anonso, Yehova amagwiritsa ntchito anthu omuimira? Inde. Mwachitsanzo, taganizirani zimene zinachitika m’zaka za m’ma 1800. Charles Taze Russell ndi anzake anayamba kuzindikira kuti chaka cha 1914 chidzakhala chofunika chifukwa ndi nthawi yomwe Ufumu wa Mulungu udzakhazikitsidwe. (Dan. 4:25, 26) Maulosi a m’Baibulo ndi omwe anawathandiza kudziwa zimenezi. Kodi Yehova ankawatsogolera pamene iwo ankafufuza m’Baibulo? Mosakayikira ankawathandiza. Zimene zinachitika mu 1914, zinatsimikizira kuti Ufumu wa Mulungu unali utayamba kulamulira. M’chakachi, nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse inayambika, ndipo kunali miliri, zivomerezi komanso njala. (Luka 21:10, 11) Yehova ankagwiritsadi ntchito amuna a mitima yabwinowa kuti athandize anthu ake.

12-13. Pa nthawi ya nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse, kodi abale otsogolera anakonza zotani pa nkhani yolalikira ndi kuphunzitsa?

¹² Taganiziraninso zimene zinachitika pa nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse. Pambuyo pomvetsa lemba la Chivumbulutso 17:8, abale otsogolera kulikulu lathu, anazindikira kuti nkhondoyo siinali chiyambi cha Aramagedo. M’malomwake pambuyo pa nkhondoyo pakhala nthawi ya mtendere, zomwe zithandize kuti ntchito yolalikira iwonjezereke. Choncho gulu la Yehova linakonza zoti pakhale Sukulu ya Giliyadi, zomwe zinkaoneka ngati zosathandiza pa nthawiyo. Cholinga cha Sukuluyi chinali kuthandiza amishonale kuti azilalikira komanso kuphunzitsa anthu padziko lonse. Amishonalewo ankatumizidwa m’madera osiyanasiyana ngakhale pa nthawi yankhondo. Kuwonjezera apo, kapolo anakonza zoti pakhale Sukulu ya Utumiki wa Mulungu b n’cholinga chofuna kuthandiza onse mumpingo kuti azilalikira komanso kuphunzitsa bwino Mawu a Mulungu. Zimenezi zinathandiza anthu a Mulungu kukonzekera bwino ntchito yolalikira yomwe ankafunika kugwira.

¹³ Masiku ano, timaona umboni woti Yehova ankatsogolera anthu ake pa nthawi yovutayo. Kungoyambira pa nthawi ya nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse, anthu a Yehova m’mayiko ambiri akhala akugwira ntchito yolalikira popanda kusokonezedwa. Ndipotu ntchitoyi yakhala ikuyenda bwino kwambiri.

14. N’chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kukhulupirira malangizo ochokera kugulu la Yehova komanso kwa akulu? (Chivumbulutso 2:1) (Onaninso chithunzi.)

¹⁴ Masiku ano, abale a m’Bungwe Lolamulira akupitirizabe kudalira malangizo ochokera kwa Khristu. Iwo amafuna kuti malangizo omwe amapereka kwa abale azikhala ogwirizana ndi zimene Mulungu amafuna. Ndipo amagwiritsa ntchito oyang’anira madera komanso akulu kuti azipereka malangizowo kumipingo. c Akulu odzozedwa ali ‘m’dzanja lamanja’ la Khristu. (Werengani Chivumbulutso 2:1.) N’zoona kuti akulu onse si angwiro ndipo amalakwitsa zinthu. Mose ndi Yoswa, nawonso nthawi zina ankalakwitsa zinthu, ngatinso mmene ankachitira atumwi. (Num. 20:12; Yos. 9:14, 15; Aroma 3:23) Komabe Khristu akutsogolera kapolo wokhulupirika komanso akulu, ndipo apitiriza kuchita zimenezi “masiku onse mpaka m’nyengo ya mapeto a nthawi ino.” (Mat. 28:20) Choncho, tili ndi zifukwa zokwanira zotichititsa kukhulupirira malangizo omwe Yesu amatipatsa kudzera mwa anthu omwe wasankha kuti azititsogolera.

Koma mofanana ndi Sara, mkazi wa Abulahamu, ndinali nditatsimikiza kuti ndizingoyang’ana kutsogolo osayang’ana m’mbuyo.” (Aheb. 11:15) Kodi banjali linapindula bwanji chifukwa cha zimene anasankhazi? Robyn anati: “Timasangalala kwambiri podziwa kuti timapatsa Yehova zonse zomwe tili nazo. Tikamagwira ntchito zomwe Yehova watipatsa, timaona mmene moyo udzakhalire m’dziko latsopano.” Andy anawonjezera kuti: “Timasangalala chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito nthawi komanso mphamvu zathu pothandiza pa ntchito ya Ufumu.”

(Mat. 6:33; Aroma 12:11) Iye anati: “Ndinapatsidwa mwayi wokachita maphunziro kuyunivesite kwa zaka 4. Koma ine ndinkafuna nditachita zambiri potumikira Yehova. Choncho ndinasankha zopita kusukulu yophunzitsa ntchito zamanja n’cholinga choti ndingopeza luso lomwe lingadzandithandize pa utumiki wanga.

¹⁷ Nthawi zina timalandira malangizo omwe amatiteteza ku zinthu monga kukonda chuma komanso zinthu zina zomwe zingatichititse kuswa malamulo a Mulungu. Apanso zinthu zimatiyendera bwino chifukwa chotsatira malangizo omwe Yehova amatipatsa. Timakhala ndi chikumbumtima chabwino ndipo timapewa mavuto ambiri. (1 Tim. 6:9, 10) Zotsatira zake n’zakuti timatumikira Yehova ndi mtima wathu wonse ndipo timapeza mtendere ndi chimwemwe chochuluka.​—Werengani Yesaya 48:17, 18.

18. N’chifukwa chiyani muyenera kukhala otsimikiza kutsatira malangizo a Yehova?

¹⁸ Mosakayikira, Yehova apitiriza kugwiritsa ntchito anthu kuti adzatipatse malangizo pa chisautso chachikulu komanso mpaka mu Ulamuliro wa Zaka 1.000. (Sal. 45:16) Tiyeni tipitirize kutsatira malangizo ngakhale kuti nthawi zina kuchita zimenezi kungachititse kuti tisiye zinthu zomwe zimatisangalatsa. Zimenezi zidzakhala zosavuta ngati panopa timatsatira malangizo a Yehova.

Iye amatithandiza kuti tipewe zinthu zomwe zingawononge ubwenzi wathu ndi iyeyo, mpaka tikafike m’dziko latsopano mmene tidzalandire moyo wosatha.
