⁵ Muapostora Petro akabvunza Jesu kuti: “Isu takasiya zvinhu zvose tikakuteverai; chokwadi chii chatichawana?” (Mat. 19:27) Jesu haana kutsiura Petro kuti akabvunzirei izvozvo, asi akaudza vadzidzi vake kuti vaizopiwa mubayiro wekuzvipira kwavo. Vaapostora nevamwe vanhu vakavimbika vachatonga naJesu kudenga. Asi kunyange iye zvino pane mibayiro iripo. Jesu akati: “Munhu wose akasiya dzimba kana vanun’una kana hanzvadzi kana baba kana amai kana vana kana minda nokuda kwezita rangu achagamuchira  zvakapetwa kazhinji uye achagara nhaka youpenyu husingaperi.” (Mat. 19:29) Vadzidzi vake vaizowana makomborero anopfuura nekure chero zvavaizosiya. Nhasi vateveri vaJesu vose vanogona kuwana vanababa, vanaamai, vakoma nevanun’una, hanzvadzi uye vana muungano. Izvozvo zvinokosha zvikuru kupfuura chero chii zvacho chatakasiya tichiitira Umambo hwaMwari.

6. Nei Jehovha achivimbisa kupa vanamati vake mubayiro?

⁷ MuMharidzo yake yepaGomo, Jesu akati: “Farai musvetuke nomufaro, nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kumatenga; nokuti vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai saizvozvo.” (Mat. 5:12) Vamwe vachapiwa mubayiro wekudenga, asi vamwe vachawana mubayiro weupenyu husingaperi muparadhiso pasi pano, uye izvozvo zvinoitawo kuti ‘vafare uye vasvetuke nomufaro.’ (Pis. 37:11; Ruka 18:30) Tingava tiine tariro yekudenga kana kuti yepasi pano, tariro iyoyo inoshanda “sechinhu chinotsigisa mweya, ndeyechokwadi uye yakasimba.” (VaH. 6:17-20) Sezvinongoita chinhu chinotsigisa ngarava kuti irambe yakadzikama panoitika dutu, tariro yechokwadi yekuwana mubayiro inogona kutibatsira kuti tirambe takadzikama mupfungwa uye pakunamata.

9. Tinofanira kuitei kuti tive nechokwadi chekuti tichawana makomborero aJehovha?

⁹ Kuti tiwane mubayiro, tinofanira kutenda muna Jehovha uye kuteerera mirayiro yake.

¹⁰ Bhaibheri rakanyorwa kuti ritibatsire. Rine nyaya dzakawanda dzinoratidza kuti Mwari akakomborera sei vashumiri vake vakatendeka.

Akapedzisira ava mujeri kuIjipiti nemhaka  yekuti vakoma vake vainge vamurongera zano rakaipa uye mudzimai watenzi vake ainge amupomera zvenhema. Ainge aparadzaniswa naMwari wake here? Kwete! “Jehovha akaramba aina Josefa, uye akaramba achimuitira mutsa worudo . . . Jehovha akanga aina Josefa uye Jehovha aiita kuti zvaakanga achiita zvibudirire.” (Gen. 39:21-23) Paaiva mumiedzo iyoyo, Josefa akamirira Mwari wake.

¹¹ Papera makore, Farao akabudisa Josefa mujeri uye akaita kuti muranda iyeye aizvininipisa ave mutevedzeri wamambo weIjipiti. (Gen. 41:1, 37-43) Mudzimai wake paakabereka vanakomana vaviri, “Josefa akatumidza dangwe racho kuti Manase, nokuti, sezvaakataura, ‘Mwari aita kuti ndikanganwe kutambudzika kwangu kwose uye imba yose yababa vangu.’ Akatumidza wechipiri kuti Efremu, nokuti, sezvaakataura, ‘Mwari aita kuti ndibereke munyika yokutambudzika kwangu.’” (Gen. 41:51, 52) Josefa akawana mubayiro wekuvimbika kwake kuna Mwari uye akakwanisa kuponesa vaIsraeri nevaIjipiti panguva yenzara. Josefa akaona kuti Jehovha ndiye ainge amupa mubayiro uye amukomborera.​—Gen. 45:5-9.

Shoko raMwari rinoti: “Iye akatsungirira padanda rokutambudzikira nokuda kwomufaro wakaiswa pamberi pake, asina hanya nokunyadziswa.” (VaH. 12:2) Jesu akawana mufaro pakutsvenesa zita raMwari. Akawanawo mubayiro wekufarirwa naMwari uye akapiwa dzimwe ropafadzo dzakawanda. Bhaibheri rinoti “akagara kuruoko rworudyi rwechigaro choumambo chaMwari.” Uye tinoverengawo kuti: “Mwari akamukwidziridza kunzvimbo yepamusoro, akamupa nomutsa zita rinopfuura mamwe mazita ose.”​—VaF. 2:9.

(2 VaK. 1:3) Jehovha anoda kuti tinzwire vamwe tsitsi. “Munhu anonzwira nyasha munhu akaderera, anokweretesa Jehovha, uye Iye achamuripa zvaanoita.” (Zvir. 19:17; Mat. 6:3, 4) Saka patinobatsira vaya vanenge vachitambura, Jehovha anoona zvakanaka zvatinenge taita sekunge kuti tamukweretesa. Uye anovimbisa kupa mubayiro vaya vane mutsa wakadaro.

15. Unotarisira kuwana mibayiro ipi? (Ona mufananidzo uri panotangira nyaya ino.)

¹⁵ VaKristu vakazodzwa vane tariro yekuwana ‘korona yokururama, iyo Ishe, mutongi akarurama, achapa pazuva iroro somubayiro.’ (2 Tim. 4:7, 8) Asi hazvirevi kuti haukoshi kuna Mwari kana uine tariro yakasiyana naiyoyi. Mamiriyoni ‘emamwe makwai’ aJesu anotarisira kuwana mubayiro  wekugara nekusingaperi muparadhiso pasi pano. Imomo ‘achafara kwazvo norugare rukuru.’​—Joh. 10:16; Pis. 37:11.

(Mako 10:29, 30) Uyezve, vaya vanotsvaka Mwari nemwoyo wose vanowana mibayiro yakadai serugare rwemupfungwa, kugutsikana, uye mufaro.​—VaF. 4:4-7.

Munyika mune nyonganyonga uye vanhu havana tariro. Asi sezvandinoshanda naJehovha, ndinonzwa ndakachengeteka mumaoko ake. Pese pandinozvipira kuitira Jehovha zvimwe zvinhu, anondipa makomborero akapetwa zvine zana.”

Kuti ndiwane zvinondikurudzira, ndinochengeta kabhuku kandinonyora magwaro nezvandinenge ndadzidza kuti ndizokwanisa kuzviverenga pane imwe nguva. Ndinokati ‘Kabhuku Kanondibatsira Pakunamata.’ Kana tikaisa pfungwa dzedu pane zvakavimbiswa naJehovha hatizogari takaora mwoyo. Jehovha akagadzirira kutibatsira pasinei nekuti tiri mumamiriro ezvinhu akaita sei.” Unogona kunge usiri mumamiriro ezvinhu akafanana neaBianca kana kuti aPaula. Kunyange zvakadaro, unogona kufunga nezvekupiwa kwawakaitwa mubayiro naJehovha uye kwaakaita vanhu vaunoziva. Zvakanaka chaizvo kufunga nezvekuti Jehovha ari kukupa sei mubayiro iye zvino uye kuti achakupa sei mubayiro mune ramangwana!

Tine chivimbo chekuti tichawana mubayiro wakakodzera kubva kuna Jehovha.​—Verenga VaKorose 3:23, 24.
