(Sal. 25:14) Chilichose chatukusalijiganya chakwamba Mlungu jwetu chikusatutendekasya kuti tumŵandichile jwalakwe.—Yak. 4:8.

4. (a) Ana Satana akusatenda wuli pakusaka kutusokonasya kuti tukamnonyelaga Yehofa? (b) Ana mungani ajino chitukambilane chichi?

Jwalakwe nganaŵa akombwele kumlambila Yehofape.

(Ciw. 3:14-17) Naga tukuyiwona kuti tutandite kunonyela mnope mbiya, tukusosekwa mwachitema  kulinganya kaganisye ketu.

Napochelaga mbiya syejinji, nambo nalagasikagape nganisyo nambosoni liŵasa lyangu nganilijendaga chenene.”

⁹ David jwasosekwaga kusagula chindu chachaliji chakusosekwa mnope kwa jwalakwe. Jwalakwe jwatite, “Nasosekwaga kulimba mtima kuti sagule yindu mwalunda.” David jwasosekwaga kuchenga kakamule kakwe kamasengo, mwamti ŵasalile abwana ŵakwe yajwasakaga kutenda. Ana yakuyichisya yakwe yaliji yamtuli? David ŵamtyosisye masengo. Ana jwalakwe jwatesile chichi? Jwalakwe jwatite, “Lisiku lyakuyichisya, nalembile fomu ja upayiniya wakamuchisya wakupitilisya.” Kuti apateje yakusosechela ya paumi,  David ni ŵamkwakwe ŵatandite kamula masengo gakuswejesya. Pali papite ndaŵi, jwatandite upayiniya wakutamilichika, nombe ŵamkwakwe ŵatanditesoni. Liŵasali lyasagwile kamula masengo gakusagawona ŵandu mpela gakutuluka, nambo mtundu wamasengoga gatendekasyaga ganichisya mnope yindu yausimu. Atamose kuti nganapataga mbiya syejinji mpela pandanda, nambope akusambolaga kupata yakusosechela ya paumi mwesi wuliwose. Jemanjaji akusaka kuŵika yakusasaka Yehofa pamalo gandanda, soni ayiweni kuti Yehofajo akusiŵasamalila ŵandu ŵasagwile kutenda yeleyi.—Mat. 6:31-33.

Soni tukakundaga kuti tugawoneje masengo getu kuŵa gakusosekwa mnope kupunda kumtumichila Yehofa. Ana mpaka tumanyilile chamtuli kuti tukunonyela mnope masengo getu? Tukusosekwa kuliwusya yiwusyo yakuyichisyayi, ‘Ana ngusaganichisya yamasengo gangu pandili kumisongano soni pangulalichila? Panguganichisya yamsogolo, ana ngusadandawulaga naga chinjikola mbiya syakwanila? Ana mbiya soni yindu yakuchilu yikusayikasya yakusawusya kwa une soni kwa mjangu jwa mu ulombela? Ana mpaka ngunde kukamula masengo gakusagawona ŵane kuti gali gakutuluka nambo naga gali mkumba mpata wakumtumichila Yehofa?’ (1 Tim. 6:9-12) Patukuganichisya yiwusyo yeleyi, tukumbuchileje kuti Yehofa akusatunonyela soni kuti jwalakwe akusaŵecheta kwa ŵandu ŵakusalipeleka kwa jwalakwe kuti, “Ngasinamleka kapena kumjasa kose.” Ali ni ligongo lyakwe ndumetume Paulo jwalembile kuti, “Mtima wenu ukaŵaga pa mbiya.”—Aheb. 13:5, 6.

11. Ana yakusangalasya yakusasagula mundu mpaka yikole yakuyichisya yamtuli?

Naga tukusagula yakusangalasya yayikusalimbikasya yachiwawa, yamisimu, yachikululu, kapena yakumbila yachilu, nikuti tukulya patebulo jimpepe ni achimmagongo ŵa Mlungu.

Yakusangalasya yambone mpaka yitukamuchisye, nambo yakusangalasya yakusakala mpaka yitujonanje. (Aŵalanje Yakobo 1:14, 15.) Yakuyichisya ya yakusangalasya yakusakala mpaka yijigale ndaŵi mkaniyiŵe kuwonechela, nambo mkupita kwandaŵi yikusawonechelape. Ni ligongo lyakwe Baibulo jikusatukalamusya kuti, “Mkasimlambusidwa: Mlungu ngaŵa mkomboleka kumloŵesya. Yele yakusapanda mundu, tachigowola iyoyo. Naga mundu akuyikosya mnope yakusaka ya mtima wakwe yakuyichisya yakwe yili chiwa.” (Aga. 6:7, 8) Kusala yisyene, yili yakamuchisya mnope kuyiŵambala yakusangalasya yosope yayikusalimbikasya yindu yele Yehofa akusaŵengana nayo.—Sal. 97:10.

Pologalamu ja JW Broadcasting jichenjile mnope umi wangu.” Ana wawojo akupindula ni mtuka wakutyochela kwa Yehofawu? Kupwatika pa pologalamu jajikusakopoka mwesi wuliwose, pa JW Broadcasting pakusapagwasoni yindu yine yakulolela soni yakwamba kupikanila nambosoni nyimbo syakulimbikasya.
