Mphamvu ya Kuuka (tsa 2)

2.1 Wokondedwa waumulungu – kapena, 'Mphatso ndi ndani?’

Werenga 1 Cor 12:4-11 (nb. 1 Cor 12:7). Mphatso zauzimu zimaperekedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera kuti apindule onse. Munthu amene ali ndi mphatso imeneyi si amene anaiyambitsa (kupatula chimodzi chomwe tikambirana pambuyo pake) womulandira. Ngakhale, iye ndi ‘postman’ wa Mulungu, ndi udindo wopereka mphatsoyo kwa munthu amene akufuna kuilandira. Ndi Mzimu Woyera amene amapereka mphatsoyo ndi kusankha amene adzaipereke.

Kusamvetsetsa mfundo yosavuta koma yofunikira iyi kwagona pa muzu wa zambiri zomwe timachita tikamatumikira mphamvu ya Mulungu kwa ena.. Tiyerekeze kuti tangokumana ndi munthu amene akufunika thandizo. Zomwe timachita?

• ‘Ndikadachita kanthu.’
• 'Ndiyenera kupereka chiyani?’
• ‘Ndikanakhala wauzimu kwambiri, Nditha kupemphera ndikupeza chozizwitsa.’
• ‘N’chifukwa chiyani Mulungu sachitapo kanthu?’

Chomwe timalephera kuyamikira ndi chakuti Mzimu Woyera ulipo kale; mkati mwathu, kuyang’ana mkhalidwe umenewo ndi maso athu. Iye ndiye Mzimu wa Khristu, Wopembedzera, Mzimu wa chisomo ndi Wopereka mphatso. Chomwe chimafunikira kuti tigwirizane ndikuti tiyenera kukhala okonzeka kuchita ngati positi yake – kutenga chilichonse chomwe watipatsa panthawiyo ndikuchipereka!

Kuli kulakwa kopusa kulingalira kuti kuyenerera kwathu kwaumwini kumasonkhezeredwa mopambanitsa ndi zimenezi. Kodi munakanapo kutumiza mphatso kwa wina chifukwa simunaganizire zambiri za munthu wa positi?? Kwenikweni, Ndikhoza kuganiza za zinthu zinayi zokha za munthu wa positi zomwe zingandipangitse kupeŵa kugwiritsa ntchito mautumiki ake:

• Ngati analephera kupereka phukusi monga anapempha (Ez. 3:18)
• Ngati analola kuti chiwonongeke (Job 42:7, Jer. 23:28)
• Ngati adayamba kuyitanitsa malipiro kapena mwayi kwa wolandira (Acts 8:20-1, 2 Kings 5:8-27).
• Ngati adachita kuoneka ngati iye, osati ine, anali wopereka (Is. 42:8 & 48:11)

Zindikirani izo, kukhala ndi zipatso zotanthauziridwa kukhala umboni waumulungu wowona (Mt 7:20), Yesu anapitiriza kuchenjeza anthu amene amamutchula kuti Ambuye – ngakhale kulosera ndi kuchita zozizwitsa m’dzina lake – Koma amene alidi ochita zoipa (Mt 7:21-3). Mofananamo, atauza mpingo wa ku Korinto kuti ‘sasowa mphatso yauzimu’ (1 Cor 1:5-7) Paulo anawadzudzula kuti ndi ‘adziko’ (1 Cor 3:3).

Anthu amene amanyadira uzimu wawo chifukwa nthawi zambiri amagwiritsidwa ntchito potumikira mphatso zauzimu akulakwitsa kwambiri. Mbali inayi, ngati Mulungu angagwiritse ntchito bulu wosayankhula ngati cholankhulira chake (Num. 22:21-33), atha kundigwiritsa ntchito!

2.2 Mawonetseredwe ndi mautumiki

Anthu ena amagwiritsidwa ntchito pafupipafupi popereka mphatso; pamene ena angagwiritsidwe ntchito mwa apo ndi apo, ndipo osati nthawi zonse mwanjira yomweyo. Paulo akupanga kusiyana pakati pa ‘chionetsero’ Mzimu ndi iwo amene amatumikira nthawi zonse m'madera ena, kaya ndi mphatso zauzimu monga machiritso kapena zachibadwa monga ulamuliro (1 Cor 12:7-10 & 28-30). Koma muyenera kumvetsa zimenezo, ngakhale Mulungu sangakugwiritseni ntchito mwanjira inayake, akhoza kusonyeza mphatso iliyonse kudzera mwa inu ngati pakufunika kutero. Mzimu Woyera mwa inu si wosiyana ndi Mzimu Woyera amene anali mwa Paulo; kapenanso Yesu.

2.3 Okhumudwitsa mphatsoyo

Paulo akugogomezera kuti amene amalosera ndi kulankhula malilime angasankhe kutero kapena kusatero (1 Cor 14:26-32). Iye akuuzanso Akorinto ‘kulakalaka mphatso zazikulu’ ndi Timoteo ‘kukoleza mphatso ya Mulungu, amene ali mwa inu mwa kuyika kwa manja anga.’ (1 Cor 12:31 & 2 Tim 1:6).

Ngakhale kuti Mzimu adzaulula mmene ndi nthawi imene akufuna kutigwiritsire ntchito, zili kwa ife kukulitsa chikhumbo ndi kukhala okonzeka kutero. Tiyeneranso kuwonetsetsa kuti chipatso cha Mzimu chikuwoneka pakugwira ntchito kwawo (ndichifukwa chake Paulo amasiya kukambirana kwake za mphatso kuti atsindike kufunikira kwa chikondi mu 1 Cor 13:1-16). Monga positi, sitimatumiza mphatso; koma timadziwa kuti ndi liti, momwe ndi momwe zimaperekedwa.

2.4 Kodi Mphatso imagwiritsidwa ntchito bwanji??

2.4.1 Mphatso za kuzindikira

Izi zikusonyeza kuti Mulungu amadziwa zonse za ife, ndipo nthawi zonse amadziwa choti achite.

Kuzindikira Mizimu ndi vumbulutso la mphamvu zauzimu zomwe zikugwira ntchito muzochitika zina (zaungelo, munthu kapena ziwanda) (Acts 16:16-8). Mawu a Chidziŵitso amavumbula chidziŵitso chapadera ponena za munthu kapena mkhalidwe (John 4:16-8): pamene Mawu a Nzeru amavumbulutsa chochita pazochitika zina (Mt 22:15-22, Luke 21:12-5) kapena kuzindikira kwapadera kwa choonadi chauzimu (1 Cor 15:51).

Izi mwina ndi mphatso zovuta kuchita masewera chifukwa, ngakhale Mulungu akupereka chivumbulutso, Njira imene imagwiritsidwira ntchito imadalira kwambiri munthu amene ali ndi mphatsoyo. (Ndi njira zinanso zingati zomwe Yesu akanagwiritsira ntchito chidziwitso cha mkaziyo John 4:7-29, Mwachitsanzo?) Mphatso zimenezi ziyenera kusakanizidwa mowolowa manja ndi zipatso zauzimu mwa amene akuzigwiritsira ntchito. Pamafunikanso kukhwima mwauzimu kuti tisiyanitse zimene zimachokera kwa Mulungu ndi maganizo athu.

Momwe mavumbulutso amaperekera zimasiyanasiyana. Zingakhale zithunzi za m’maganizo, kuzindikira kwakukulu, masomphenya, maloto, zochitika zachilengedwe zomwe zimakhala ngati 'mafanizo', Mawu a m’Malemba amene ali ndi tanthauzo lapadera, mawu kapena chidziwitso chomwe chimabwera momveka bwino komanso chosadziwika m'maganizo, kapena ngakhale liwu lomveka. Mulimonse momwe Mulungu amagwiritsa ntchito, padzakhala kuzindikira kuti Iye akulankhula kwa inu.

Pophunzira kugwiritsa ntchito mphatso zimenezi m’pofunika kukhala ndi maganizo oyenera pa ife tokha. Timauzidwa, ‘Ngati wina alankhula, azichita ngati wolankhula mawu enieni a Mulungu’ (1 Pet 4:11). Koma sitiyenera kuwononga chikhulupiriro chathu ndikuyika malingaliro athu ngati mawu a Mulungu; kotero payenera kukhala kulinganiza apa. Sitiyenera ‘kusodza’ kuti muzindikire ndipo kenaka lengezani chivumbulutso chochititsa khungu. Ngati mukukaikira, ndi bwino kukhala chete ndikugwiritsa ntchito zomwe mwaphunzirazo kuwongolera mafunso anu kapena kunena mosapita m'mbali, ‘Ndikuganiza kuti Mulungu akutero…’

(Bwererani ku Zamkatimu)

2.4.2 Mphatso Zowonetsera

Izi zikusonyeza kuti Mulungu ndi wokhoza ndipo ndi wokonzeka kulowererapo pa moyo wathu.

Pali kuphatikizika kwakukulu apa. Machiritso angakhale odabwitsa kwambiri kotero kuti anganene kuti ndi zozizwitsa. Zozizwitsa zimaphimba kuimitsidwa kulikonse kwaumulungu kwa malamulo achilengedwe achilengedwe, monga kudyetsa 5,000 ndi kuwukitsa akufa. Ngakhale kuti Mkhristu aliyense ali ndi chikhulupiriro, Mphatso yachikhulupiriro ndi kulowetsedwa kwadzidzidzi komwe kumapita kupyola chibadwa cha munthu amene akuchichita.

Chinthu chofunika kwambiri kukumbukira n’chakuti Mulungu sachita ‘matsenga opanda pake’ kungofuna kukopa anthu. Amangochitapo kanthu pakakhala chosoŵa chenicheni chofuna kuloŵererapo ndipo pali anthu amene ali okonzeka mwauzimu kuchilandira. (Acts 14:8-10 & Mark 2:5). Izi zikachitika mudzakhala ozindikira za Mzimu a) kulimbikitsa mtima wanu pazochitikazo ndi b) kukulimbikitsani kuti muchite kapena kunena chinachake. Osachita mantha mopitirira. Chitanipo kanthu ndikusiyira zina kwa Mulungu.

2.4.3 Mphatso Zolengeza

Izi zimatithandiza kulengeza choonadi cha Mulungu mwachisawawa.

Maulosi amakhudza kumvetsetsa kwa munthu amene akupereka mphatsoyo; pamene malilime ndiwo zinenero zosadziwika kwa wolankhulayo, kotero kuzindikira kumalambalalitsidwa. Choncho, ngakhale malilime angawoneke ngati auzimu, uneneri umafuna kukhwima mu uzimu ndipo nthawi zambiri umalumikizidwa ndi mphatso za mavumbulutso, makamaka mwa iwo amene ali ndi utumiki wauneneri.

Ngakhale kuti lamulo lalikulu lokhudza mphatso ndi lakuti siziperekedwa kuti zithandize amene akuziperekayo, malilime kwenikweni ali chinenero pemphero laumwini (1 Cor 14:4). Cholinga chake ndi chakuti wokhulupirira amangiridwe mu mzimu wake mwa kupatsidwa mphamvu yopemphera ndi kutamanda Mulungu momasuka kwambiri ndipo atha kusefukira mu umboni wodziwikiratu. (Acts 2:4-11).

Pokhapokha pamodzi ndi kumasulira m’pamene malilime amakhala mphatso yachindunji chaphindu ku mpingo (1 Cor 14:5-13). Izi zimapereka mlatho pakati pa malirime ndi uneneri, kubweretsa kumvetsetsa kwa lilime; koma osafunikira mulingo wofanana wa kukhwima monga uneneri pakuweruza nthawi ndi momwe ziyenera kugwiritsidwira ntchito. Ena amati malilime ndi mapemphero nthawi zonse, ngakhale atamasuliridwa: koma Acts 2:11 ndi 1 Cor. 14:5-6 anganene zina.

Ambiri amaganiza kuti mwanjira ina malingaliro, kapena lilime, imatengedwa pamene anthu alankhula malilime kapena kunenera. koma, mosiyana ndi mawu ochititsa chidwi, chosankha kuti ndi liti kapena ngati apereke uthengawo zili kwa wokamba nkhaniyo (1 Cor 14:27-32), ngakhale kuti ndi Mzimu Woyera amene achita (amapereka mphamvu kuti achite bwino) (Acts 2:4). Choncho, monga ndi mphatso iliyonse yauzimu m’pofunika kuchita ndi chikhulupiriro. (Izi zimafuna mtima wa kudalira kwathunthu kuti limati, ‘Mzimu Woyera, Ndatsala pang'ono kutsegula pakamwa panga ndikulankhula mawu aliwonse omwe mumayika m'maganizo mwanga. Ngati simundipatsa mawu oyenera, ichi chikhala katundu wina woyipa wa zinyalala: koma ndidziwa kuti udzachita choyenera chifukwa Yesu adalonjeza.’ (Gal 3:5 & Luke 11:11-3).)

Popemphera m'malilime musalole kuti chidwi chanu chichoke kwa Mulungu (amene mukumupemphera) ku mawu a lilime lenilenilo. Monga Petro, kuyesa kuyenda pamadzi maso ake ali pa mafunde, mudzasangalala. Lilime nthawi zambiri limamveka lachilendo, ndipo akhoza kubwerezabwereza: koma kawirikawiri amalankhula bwino pamene mutsegula mtima wanu kwa Ambuye.

Maulosi nthawi zambiri amayambitsa 'chain reaction', ndi wina kulimbikitsa mzake (1 Cor 14:29-31). Lilime limalimbikitsanso kumasulira.

Nthawi zina anthu amene atsala pang’ono kumasulira amasokonezeka wina akafika poyamba akupereka mawu ooneka ngati osiyana.. Pali mafotokozedwe atatu otheka: ine) matanthauzidwewo akhoza kunenedwa mosiyana kwambiri komabe amapereka uthenga womwewo, ii) chimene iwo kapena amene amalankhula poyamba anali nacho kwenikweni unali ulosi wowonjezera lilime kapena iii) iwo analakwitsa. Mdierekezi nthawi zonse amafulumira kunena zotsirizirazo; koma iyenera kuyesedwa kwenikweni ndi malemba ndi kuzindikira kwa ena.

2.5 Kuchita kapena kusachita?

Nthawi zina kusonkhezera kwa Mzimu kumakhala ngati ‘kunong’ona kofatsa’ (1 Kings 19:12) ndipo kwa ena ‘ngati moto woyaka, khalani m'mafupa anga’ (Jer 20:9). Tisamaope kwambiri kulakwitsa – Yesu sanatisiye (Mt 14:25-33). Monga nthawi zonse, nkhani yaikulu ndiyo ‘kulola mtendere wa Mulungu ulamulire (arbitrate) mu mtima mwanu’ (Col 3:15). Dzifunseni nokha, ‘Chimene chidzasunga mtendere wanga ndi Mulungu – kuchitapo kanthu tsopano kapena kudikira?’ Mulungu asamalire zotsatira zake.
