(Miy. 8:31; Yoh. 3:16) Timamvera chisoni anthu omwe “sadziwa Mulungu” ndiponso “alibe chiyembekezo.” (Aef. 2:12) Iwo akukumana ndi mavuto ambiri ndipo zimakhala ngati ali m’dzenje lakuya.

Anthu ambiri amangochita zinthu zawo zatsiku ndi tsiku, osadziwa kuti kutsogoloku kukubwera “chisautso chachikulu chimene sichinachitikepo kuchokera pachiyambi cha dziko mpaka lero, ndipo sichidzachitikanso.” (Mat. 24:21) Timafuna kuti iwo adziwe zimene zichitike pa nthawi yachiweruzo, pamene choyamba zipembedzo zonse zabodza zidzachotsedwa ndipo kenako maboma onse adzawonongedwa pa nkhondo ya Aramagedo. (Chiv. 16:14, 16; 17:16, 17; 19:11, 19, 20) Timapemphera kuti anthu ambiri amve uthenga wathu wochenjezawu n’kusankha kumatumikira Yehova panopa. Koma bwanji za anthu amene sakufuna kumvera chenjezoli panopa, kuphatikizapo achibale athu omwe timawakonda?

Ngati ndi choncho, ndiye kuti n’zofunika kwambiri kuti panopa tipitirize kuwachenjeza. Ganizirani izi: Zimene tingawauze panopa, angadzazikumbukire pa nthawiyo. (Yerekezerani ndi Ezekieli 33:33.)

Mofanana ndi woyang’anira ndende wa ku Filipi, yemwe anasintha maganizo pambuyo pa “chivomerezi champhamvu,” n’kutheka kuti ena omwe panopa samvetsera uthenga wathu, angadzasinthe maganizo awo pambuyo poona zomwe zidzachitike Babulo Wamkulu akamadzawonongedwa.—Mac. 16:25-34.

Timamupatsa ulemerero ndi ulemu tikamauza ena umboni wosatsutsika wakuti iye ndi “amene analenga zinthu zonse” komanso kuti tili ndi moyo chifukwa cha iye. Timamupatsa mphamvu zathu tikamagwiritsa ntchito nthawi, mphamvu komanso zinthu zathu polalikira mmene tingathere mogwirizana ndi mmene zinthu zilili pa moyo wathu. (Mat. 6:33; Luka 13:24; Akol. 3:23) Mwachidule, timakonda kuuza ena za Mulungu wathu yemwe timamukonda. Timalimbikitsidwanso kuuza ena za dzina lake komanso zimene limatanthauza. Chifukwa chiyani?

Zaka zingapo zapitazo, kalata ina yochokera ku Bungwe Lolamulira inati: “Mwayi waukulu womwe aliyense angakhale nawo ndi wodziwika monga wa Mboni za Yehova.” c N’chifukwa chiyani zili choncho?

Ngati mutafuna kuti munthu wina akakhale mboni pa mlandu wanu kukhoti, mumasankha munthu yemwe mukumudziwa komanso kumukhulupirira, yemwe mbiri yake ingachititse kuti umboni wakewo ena aukhulupirire. Choncho potisankha kuti tikhale Mboni zake, zikusonyeza kuti Yehova amatidziwa bwino komanso kutikhulupirira kuti tingauze ena kuti iye yekha ndi amene ali Mulungu woona. Timaona kuti ndi mwayi wamtengo wapatali kukhala Mboni zake, ndipo timafuna kugwiritsa ntchito mpata uliwonse pothandiza ena kuti adziwe dzina lake komanso kutsutsa mabodza ambirimbiri omwe amanenedwa okhudza iye. Tikamachita zimenezi, timakhala tikuchita zinthu mogwirizana ndi dzina lathu, lakuti Mboni za Yehova.—Sal. 83:18; Aroma 10:13-15.

Tasangalalanso kudziwa kuti ngakhale pa nthawi yovuta kwambiri ya chisautso chachikulu tingadzaone anthu ambiri akuchoka m’dziko loipa la Satanali n’kuyamba kutamanda nafe limodzi Yehova.—Mac. 13:48.
15-16. Kodi tipitiriza kuchita chiyani ndipo mpaka liti?
15 Padakali pano tili ndi ntchito yambiri yoti tigwire. Tili ndi mwayi wogwira nawo ntchito yomwe sidzachitikanso yolengeza uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu wa Mulungu padziko lonse. Pa nthawi imodzimodziyo tiyenera kupitiriza kuchenjeza anthu zomwe zichitike. Anthu akufunika adziwe kuti mapeto a dziko loipali ali pafupi kwambiri. Ndiyeno nthawi ya chiweruzo ikadzafika, iwo adzadziwa kuti uthenga umene tinkalalikira unali wochokera kwa Yehova Mulungu.—Eze. 38:23.
16 Ndiye kodi tiyenera kutsimikiza mtima kuchita chiyani? Chifukwa chokonda uthenga wabwino, anthu komanso koposa zonse kukonda Yehova Mulungu ndi dzina lake, tipitiriza kulalikira mofunitsitsa, mwachangu komanso mwakhama mpaka Yehova atanena kuti “Basi mwamaliza!”
