Akatsanangura ushumiri hwesungano itsva ‘sepfuma iri mumidziyo yevhu.’ (2 VaK. 4:7; 1 Tim. 1:12) Kunyange zvazvo tingori midziyo yevhu ine  chivi, mashoko atinoparidza anogona kuita kuti tiwane upenyu husingaperi pamwe chete nevanotiteerera. Achiziva izvi, Pauro akati: “Ndinoita zvinhu zvose nokuda kwemashoko akanaka, kuti ndiagoverane [nevamwe].” (1 VaK. 9:23) Kuda kwaiita Pauro ushumiri kwakaita kuti ashande nesimba pakuita kuti vanhu vave vadzidzi. (Verenga VaRoma 1:14, 15; 2 Timoti 4:2.) Izvi zvakamubatsira kuti atsungirire kutambudzwa kwakanyanya. (1 VaT. 2:2) Tingaratidza sei kuti tinoda ushumiri saizvozvo?

9. Ndedzipi dzimwe nzira dzatingaratidza nadzo kuti tinokoshesa ushumiri hwedu?

Irene anoti, “Pandinofunga nezvezvimwe zvinangwa zvandaigona kuva nazvo, handioni paine chimwe chaigona kundipa mufaro unopfuura wandiinawo.” Irene anokoshesa chaizvo ushumiri hwake.

11. Chii chinogona kuitika kana tikaramba tichiparidza pasinei nekutambudzwa?

¹¹ Kana tichikoshesa ushumiri hwedu, tichaita semuapostora Pauro, toramba tichiparidza pasinei nekutambudzwa. (Mab. 14:19-22) Kubva muna 1930 kusvika muna 1944, hama dzedu dzekuUnited States dzaitambudzwa zvikuru. Asi kufanana naPauro, vakaramba vakashinga uye vakaramba vachiparidza. Kuti vadzivirire kodzero yedu yekuparidza, vakaendesa  nyaya dzakawanda kumatare uye vakahwina. Pavaitaura nezvekuhwinwa kwakanga kwaitwa imwe nyaya muDare repamusorosoro reUnited States muna 1943, Hama Nathan H. Knorr vakati: “Takahwina nekuti makaramba muchirwa. Kudai muparidzi asina kuramba achiparidza pangadai pasina nyaya dzekuendesa kuDare repamusorosoro; asi nemhaka yekuti imi vaparidzi, hama dziri pasi rese, muri kuramba muchiparidza, takwanisa kukunda kutambudzwa. Takahwina nyaya iyi nekuti vanhu vaShe vakaramba vakashinga.” Izvi ndizvo zvakaitwa nedzimwe hama mune dzimwe nyika dzikakundawo. Kuda kwatinoita ushumiri kunokunda kutambudzwa kwatingaitwa.

12. Watsunga kuitei panyaya yekuita basa reushumiri?

13, 14. ‘Dura repfuma’ rakataurwa naJesu pana Mateu 13:52 chii, uye tinorizadza sei?

¹³ Imwe pfuma inokosha yatiinayo ichokwadi chese chatakadzidza. Chokwadi chinobva kuna Jehovha. (Joh. 17:17) Zvaari Baba vane rupo, anopa chokwadi ichi kune vaya vanomutya. Kubva patakatanga kudzidza chokwadi, takawana mikana yekuchiunganidza kubva muShoko rake Bhaibheri, mumabhuku edu uye kubva pamagungano nemisangano yedu yevhiki nevhiki. Zvishoma nezvishoma tinova ‘nedura repfuma’ rakataurwa naJesu, rine chokwadi chitsva nechokwadi chitsaru kana kuti chekare. (Verenga Mateu 13:52.) Jehovha achatibatsira kuzadza ‘dura redu repfuma’ nechokwadi chitsva chinokosha kana tikachitsvaga sepfuma yakavanzwa. (Verenga Zvirevo 2:4-7.) Tinozviita sei izvozvo?

¹⁴ Tinofanira kugara tichidzidza nekutsvakurudza zviri muShoko raMwari nemumabhuku edu. Izvi zvichatibatsira kuwana chokwadi chakaita ‘sechitsva’ kwatiri pakuti tanga tisingachizivi. (Josh. 1:8, 9; Pis. 1:2, 3) Watch Tower yekutanga yakabuda muna July 1879, yakafananidza chokwadi neruva riri pakati pemasora. Kuti munhu awane ruva rakadaro, anofanira kunyatsoritsvaga. Uye kana akariwana, haafaniri kungogutsikana nerimwe chete iroro. Anofanira kuramba achitsvaga mamwe maruva. Saizvozvowo, hatifaniri kungogutsikana patinowana chokwadi cheBhaibheri chishomanana. Tinofanira kuva nechido chekuramba tichitsvaga chimwe chokwadi chakawanda.

15. Nei tingati chimwe chokwadi ‘chitsaru’ uye ndechipi chimwe chokwadi chakadaro chaunokoshesa?

¹⁵ Takawana chokwadi chinokosha patakatanga kudzidza Bhaibheri. Chokwadi ichi chinogona kunzi ‘chitsaru’ nekuti ndicho chatakatanga kudzidza. Chokwadi ichocho chinosanganisirei? Takadzidza kuti Jehovha ndiye Musiki wedu uye kuti ane chinangwa chaakasikira vanhu. Takadzidzawo kuti Mwari akatipa chibayiro cheMwanakomana wake kuitira kuti tikwanise kusunungurwa pachivi nerufu. Takazodzidzawo kuti Umambo hwake huchabvisa kutambura kwese uye kuti tinogona kurarama nekusingaperi tiine rugare nemufaro pasi peUmambo ihwohwo.—Joh. 3:16; Zvak. 4:11; 21:3, 4.

16. Chii chatinofanira kuita kana manzwisisiro atinoita chimwe chokwadi akagadziridzwa?

¹⁶ Nguva nenguva, manzwisisiro atinoita  humwe uprofita kana kuti imwe ndima yeBhaibheri anogona kugadziridzwa. Kana pakava nemanzwisisiro matsva, tinofanira kutora nguva tichinyatsoongorora nekufungisisa nezvawo. (Mab. 17:11; 1 Tim. 4:15) Tinofanira kunzwisisa misiyano mikuru pakati pemanzwisisiro ekare nematsva uye tinofanirawo kunzwisisa zvimwe zvinhu zvisingakurumidzi kuoneka zvinobatanidzwa pamanzwisisiro matsva. Patinodaro, tinenge tanyatsoisa chokwadi chacho chitsva mudura redu repfuma. Nei kuita izvozvo kuri kushandira zviripo?

17, 18. Mweya mutsvene ungatibatsira sei?

¹⁷ Jesu akadzidzisa kuti mweya mutsvene waMwari unogona kutiyeuchidza zvinhu zvatakadzidza. (Joh. 14:25, 26) Izvi zvingatibatsira sei pakuparidza mashoko akanaka? Funga nezvemuenzaniso weimwe hama inonzi Peter. Mugore ra1970 aiva nemakore 19 uye akanga achangotanga kushanda paBheteri muBritain. Paaiparidza paimba neimba, akasangana nemumwe murume wemakore anenge 50 aiva nemazindebvu. Peter akabvunza murume wacho kuti aida here kunzwisisa Bhaibheri. Murume wacho aiva rabhi wechiJudha, uye zvakamunetsa kuti munhu mudiki akadaro aifunga kuti aigona kumudzidzisa Bhaibheri. Achida kuedza Peter, rabhi wacho akamubvunza kuti, “Saka nhai chikomana, bhuku raDhanieri rakanyorwa nemutauro upi?” Peter akamupindura kuti: “Chimwe chikamu charo chakanyorwa nechiAramaiki.” Peter anoti, “Rabhi wacho akashamisika kuti ndaiziva mhinduro yacho, asi ini ndini ndakatonyanya kushamisika!” Peter akaziva sei mhinduro yacho? Paakaenda kumba akatsvaga magazini eNharireyomurindi neMukai! emwedzi yainge yapfuura uye akawana nyaya yaitsanangura kuti bhuku raDhanieri rakanyorwa nechiAramaiki. * Chokwadi, mweya mutsvene unogona kutiyeuchidza zvinhu zvatakaverenga tikachengeta mudura redu repfuma.—Ruka 12:11, 12; 21:13-15.

¹⁸ Kana tichikoshesa uchenjeri hunobva kuna Jehovha, mwoyo wedu uchatituma kuti tizadze dura redu repfuma nechokwadi chitsva nechitsaru. Kana tikawedzera kuda uye kukoshesa uchenjeri hwaJehovha, tinenge tagadzirira kuparidzira vamwe.

Tinogona kunyengedzwa nevimbiso dzekuwana basa rinotipa mari yakawanda, fungidziro dzekurarama upenyu hweumbozha kana chido chekushamisira nezvinhu zvedu. Muapostora Johani anotiyeuchidza kuti nyika ino iri kupfuura nekuchiva kwayo. (1 Joh. 2:15-17) Saka tinofanira kushanda nesimba kuti tirambe tichida uye tichikoshesa pfuma yekunamata.

20. Watsunga kuitei kuti uchengetedze pfuma yako yekunamata?

²⁰ Iva nechido chekusiya chero chii zvacho chingakutadzisa kuda Umambo hwaMwari nemwoyo wese. Ramba uchishingaira pakuparidza uye uchikoshesa ushumiri hwedu hunoponesa vanhu. Ramba uchitsvaga chokwadi cheBhaibheri nemwoyo wese. Paunoramba uchidaro, uchava ‘nepfuma kumatenga, uko mbavha isingaswederi pedyo uyewo chitemamachira chisingadyi. Nokuti pane pfuma yako, ndipo pachavawo nemwoyo wako.’—Ruka 12:33, 34.
