Nei Uchifanira Kunyengetera?

“MUNOKUMBIRA, asi hamugamuchiri, nokuti munokumbira nokuda kwechinangwa chakaipa . . . Swederai pedyo naMwari, uye achaswedera pedyo nemi.” (Jakobho 4:3, 8) Mashoko iwayo omudzidzi waJesu Jakobho angaita kuti tinyatsofunga zvikonzero zvedu zvokunyengetera.

Munyengetero haisi nzira yokuudza Mwari zvatinoda chete. Mumharidzo yake yepaGomo yakakurumbira, Jesu akati: “Mwari Baba venyu vanoziva kuti zvinhu zvipi zvamunoda musati mambovakumbira.” Asi, Jesu akatiwo: “Rambai muchikumbira, uye muchapiwa.” (Mateu 6:8; 7:7) Saka Jehovha anoda kuti timuudze zvatinonzwa kuti tiri kuda. Asi munyengetero unosanganisira zvakawanda kwazvo kupfuura izvozvo.

Zvinofadza sei kutaura naJehovha mumunyengetero! Uyezve, chirevo cheBhaibheri chinoti: “Munyengetero wowakarurama unomufadza.”—Zvirevo 15:8.

 “Kana ndirini, kuswedera pedyo naMwari ndizvo zvinondifadza,” akaimba kudaro Asafi munyori wepisarema. (Pisarema 73:28) Asi kuti tiswedere pedyo naMwari, tinofanira kuita zvakawanda kupfuura kunyengetera. Cherechedza kuti nhoroondo inotevera inoratidza sei izvozvi:

“Mumwe wevadzidzi [vaJesu] akati kwaari: ‘Ishe, tidzidzisei kunyengetera.’” Achipindura Jesu akati: “Nguva yose yamunonyengetera, itii, ‘Baba, zita renyu ngaritsveneswe. Umambo hwenyu ngahuuye.” (Ruka 11:1, 2) Tinganyengetera zvine musoro here munzira iyi tisati tatanga kudzidza zita raMwari uye matsveneserwe arichaitwa? Uye tinganyengetera maererano nemashoko aya aJesu kana tanga tisinganzwisisi chinonzi Umambo hwaMwari here? Tinogona kunzwisisa zvinhu izvi kana tikanyatsoongorora Bhaibheri. Zivo inowanikwa nenzira iyi ichatibatsira kuziva Mwari uye kunzwisisa nzira dzake. Uyezve, kusvika pakuzivana naJehovha Mwari kuchaita kuti tinzwe tiri pedyo zvikuru naye uye tichida kuzvipira kwaari zvikuru. Uyewo, izvi zvichatibatsira kutaura kwaari mumunyengetero takasununguka zvikuru.
