Bantu bebungi abamona’shi kukita ino myanda ta kwi masaku nya, anka ta mbyabya nya. Bi masaku akata. Bible alesha’shi ba demo na beena lubuko be mu kipwano. Mukanda wa Bikitshino 16:16-18 awitulungula’shi ‘demo a lubuko’ baadi akwasha nsongwakashi umune bwa “kutemuka.” Kunyima kwa Mpoolo baapu kubinga yawa demo, uno nsongwakashi baadi mushimishe bukome bwa kumona dingi myanda i kumpala.

Mu bino bipikwa mwi kudya na kutoma akukitshikaa pa maalo, misangeelo ya kutentekyesha bafwe, kulambula bafwe bintu, kipikwa ky’abakitaa bwa mulume sunga mukashi mufwishe sunga kulaala pa maalo.

Anka beena Kidishitu abauku’shi bafwe tabe na muwa mbalo kampanda nya. Tatwi balombeene kwisamba nabo, na ta mbakumbeene kwitukyengyesha ooo. (Misambo 115:17) Dimuka!

14. Nka bu beena Kidishitu ba kumpala, mmushindo kinyi watudya kutshiba kipwano na ba demo?

Bible amba’shi: “bantu bebungi babatwelakeene mu malenganyi bababungile mikanda yaabo, abo nkwiyishiika kaalo munkatshy’a bantu.” (Bikitshino 19:19) Mwanda abaadi bakumiine kwikala beena Kidishitu, abo nkushiika mikanda yabo yooso ya manga mu kaalo. Kukita byabya kwi na muulo mpa na lelo uno. Muntu ese akumiina kufubila Yehowa abitungu akatushe bintu byooso bi mu kipwano na ba demo.

Byabya, bibaadi abitungu shi bakite’nyi kinyi? Mpoolo babelungwile’shi: “Twalayi ngabo ya lukumiino, ayinupa matalwa a kushima kaalo ka mikyetwe ya mubi.” (Beena-Efeso 6:16) Nka bu bi ngabo ayikalwilaa musalayi, lukumiino lwetu ndulombeene kwitukalwila. Su twi batuule lukulupilo lwetu looso mwi Yehowa shi mmukumbeene kwitukalwila, atupete bukome bwa kukambila Satana na ba demo.​—Mateo 17:20.

Bu bibaabadi bashaale mu kibalo kiule na myanda ya bikudi bibi, Mpoolo bebalungwile’shi: “Tekayi ngubo’oso.” (Beena-Efeso 6:18) Bibaadi abididi’shi batekye bulami bwa Yehowa nsaa yooso. Atwe namu? Twi mu senga yiule na myanda ya bikudi bibi. Byabya abitungu tutekye bulami bwa Yehowa, na kutemuna eshina dyaye p’atutekye. (Badika Nkindji 18:10.) Su tubatungunuka na kuteka Yehowa bwashi etukalwile kwi Satana, Yehowa akaluula luteko lwetu.​—Misambo 145:19; Mateo 6:13.
