Overcoming The Power Deficit

Paul has been explaining that the real problem was not that he had not agreed with God’s standards, or that he didn’t really want to do what God said. At the intellectual and moral levels, he had actually been choosing to go God’s way: but then finding that he didn’t have the power to overcome all the self-centred urgings of his own nature. It is important to grasp this point.

Modern psychologically-oriented thinking (ndi, poyeneradi, most other ways of thinking) consider that the key issue is one of will-power. That is to say, ‘If you want something badly enough, then you can do it.’ Now there is a lot of truth in that perspective: koma kutsimikiza kokha sikokwanira. Mwachitsanzo, Ngati othamanga amapikisana, Kupambana nthawi zambiri kumapita kwa omwe atsimikiza mtima kuchita chilichonse chomwe chimatenga kuti chipambane. koma, ziribe kanthu momwe zingatsimikizire kuti mungakhale kuti muthane ndi mile mkati 3 mphindi, Zofooka zakuthupi zimakukhumudwitsani.

Mu bwalo lamakhalidwe, Zopanda zina ndizochenjera komanso zochepa. Mwachitsanzo, Mankhwala osokoneza bongo amapezeka ndi chizolowezi chawo mwazomwe zili ndi malingaliro. Kawirikawiri, Ngakhale sizikhala nthawi zonse, Ndiye chifukwa chake ndi zovuta kuswa; ndi, Monga mbali zambiri za moyo, omwe ali ndi mphamvu zolimba kwambiri – Ngati akufunadi kutero. Koma kusokonezeka kwakuya kwa zonse ndi chizolowezi chodzikonda chomwe chimatenga malo osadzikonda chomwe Mulungu adalenga. Izi zimakhala ngati chameleon omwe amasintha nthawi zonse kuchokera ku mtundu umodzi. Mwachitsanzo, Wodziwika bwino yemwe ali ndi mphamvu amatha kuthana ndi vuto lawo la mankhwalawa amayamba kusokonekera kwawo monga mwiniwakeyo, kapena kuyamba kuyang'ana pansi ofooka omwe amalephera kufooka, Kapenanso zimayambanso kukhala ndi chizolowezi chawo chakale pokhulupirira kuti tsopano 'ali ndi ulamuliro.’

Kupambana Kwambiri, chachikulu kuyesedwa kwa madera amenewo. Miyoyo yosowa yosowa imawoneka yopanda chidwi ndi ena: Koma izi zimakonda kukhala osasamala kwambiri kuposa zomwe akulakwitsa. Chowonadi ndi, kuti palibe aliyense wa ife amene alibe vutoli. Modabwitsa, anthu omwe Yesu anali ndi mavuto kwambiri - ndipo kenako adatsogolera chiwembu chofuna kuti amuphe - anali atsogoleri achipembedzo a m'nthawi yake; amene amaganiza bwino kuposa wina aliyense.

Kwa iwo omwe amati alibe mphamvu yakukhala momwe Mulungu adafunira, Kenako kuyesedwa ndikukhala ndi chiyembekezo chopanda chiyembekezo komanso kudziletsa ngakhale kuti ndinu odekha’ kudzikonda wekha.. Koma ngati timati tili ndi mphamvu, ndiye bwanji sitikuchita? Izi zitha kukhala kukana mwadala muyezo wa Mulungu, chinyengo, chinyengo, kapena kusakaniza kwa onse atatu. Koma pamizu yonse yaimuna. Zogulitsa za Mulungu zonse kunyada komanso zopanda chiyembekezo.

Chiphunzitso chachikulu cha uthenga wabwino wachikhristu ndikuti anthu amangomasulidwa kuuchimo kudzera mwa kulowererapo kwa Mulungu. Sitingapeze chikhululukiro cha Mulungu chifukwa cha machimo athu mwakufuna kwathu; ndipo palibe kuchuluka kwa gawo lathu lomwe lingasokoneze uchimo. Tikufuna mphamvu yomwe siili tokha. Timafunikira chozizwitsa. Ichi ndichifukwa chake Yesu adalowa m'mbiri ya anthu.

Zomwe lamulo sizingachite, M'malo mwake inali yofooka kudzera mwa thupi, Mulungu Atero. Kutumiza Mwana Wake Yemwe Akafanana ndi Thupi Lachimo ndi Tchimo, Adadzudzula thupi m'thupi; kuti lamulo la chilamulo lithe kukwaniritsidwa mwa ife, Ndani samayenda mnofu, Koma Mzimu Watha. (Rom 8:3-4)

Kukhululuka – Chozizwitsa Chachisomo

Kukhululuka kwa Mulungu Palibe '’ kapena pepala la hythethetic’ bizinesi, ngati kuti miyoyo yathu idali ngati masewera apakompyuta ndi zolakwika zathu’ komwe munthu adangokakamira’ batani’ kapena lembani ngongole yathu ndi cholembera cha cholembera. Zimafunikira kusintha kwamkati kotero komwe Yesu amafotokoza kuti ndi 'wobadwa mwatsopano.’ Ganizirani zokambirana pakati pa Yesu ndi Mtsogoleri Wauzimu Wachiyuda:

Tsopano panali munthu wa Afarisi dzina lake Nikodemo, Wolamulira wa Ayuda. Zomwezo zidabwera kwa iye usiku, ndipo adati kwa iye, “M'busa, Tikudziwa kuti ndinu mphunzitsi wochokera kwa Mulungu, Palibe amene angachite izi zomwe mumachita, Pokhapokha Mulungu ali ndi iye.”

Yesu adamuyankha, “Zabwino kwambiri, ndikukuuzani, Pokhapokha ngati munthu amabadwa mwatsopano, Satha kuwona Ufumu wa Mulungu.”

Nikodemo adanena kwa iye, “Kodi munthu angabadwe bwanji atakalamba? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?”

Yesu anayankha, “Indetu, ndikuuzani, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into the Kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

Yesu adamuyankha, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things? Indetu, ndikuuzani, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness. Ndikadakuwuzani zinthu zapadziko lapansi ndipo simukhulupirira, Kodi mungakhulupirire bwanji ngati ndikuuzani zinthu zakumwamba? Palibe amene wakwera kumwamba, koma iye amene adachokera kumwamba, Mwana wa munthu, Ndani ali kumwamba. Monga Mose anakweza njoka m'chipululu, Ngakhale choncho Mwana wa munthu ayenera kukwezedwa, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira iye asatayike, koma khalani ndi moyo wamuyaya. (Joh 3:1-15)

Kutchula zenizeni za 'Kubadwa mwatsopano’ Palemba lomwe lili pamwambapa labadwa kuchokera kumwamba.’ Yesu akufotokoza kuti chofunikira ndi chiyani?, Kubweretsedwa ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu. Mu kubadwa kwachilengedwe, Madzi a mayi asweka ndipo khanda limatulutsidwa m'masiku a mayi padziko lapansi kukhalapo komanso ubale. Mwa kubadwa kwa uzimu, Mzimu wa Mulungu umatibweretsa ife kukhala atsopano, spiritual life in which we can have a relationship with God.

Nicodemus struggled to understand this; so Jesus referred him to an incident from the time of Moses, which is described in the book of Numbers, and with which Nicodemus would have been very familiar:

They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. The people spoke against God, and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread.” Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh, ndi inu; Tipemphere kwa Yahweh, Kuti amachotsa njoka zathu kwa ife.”

Mose anapempherera anthu. Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pangani njoka yamoto, ndikuyiyika pa muyezo: ndipo zidzachitike, kuti aliyense amene walumidwa, Akaziwona, adzakhala ndi moyo.” Mose adapanga njoka yamkuwa, ndi kuyikhazikitsa pa muyezo: ndipo zidachitika, kuti ngati njoka idalumidwa mamuna aliyense, Pomwe adayang'ana njoka yamkuwa, adakhala. (Num 21:4-9)

Kawikawiri, Aisraele anali oletsedwa kupanga zithunzi zomwe amapembedzedwa ngati milungu.¹ Chifukwa chake ichi chinali chiphunzitso chodabwitsa kwambiri – kwambiri kotero serpenti chinali chizindikiro cha amene adachimwa. Chifukwa chiyani zidakhazikika pamtengo; Chifukwa chiyani kuwoneka komwe kunawachiritsa ndipo izi zikugwirizana bwanji ndi Yesu ndikubadwanso? Malinga ndi Yesu, Ndi chithunzi chaulosi choneneratu momwe angapachikiridwe, titenga malo athu monga chandamale cha chiweruziro cha Mulungu chotsutsa chomwe njoka, Satana, anali atachita komanso kudzera m'miyoyo yathu.

Monga Mose anakweza njoka m'chipululu, Ngakhale choncho Mwana wa munthu ayenera kukwezedwa, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira iye asatayike, koma khalani ndi moyo wamuyaya. Chifukwa Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi, kuti adapereka mwana wake yekhayo, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira iye asatayike, koma khalani ndi moyo wamuyaya. Chifukwa Mulungu sanatumize Mwana wake kudziko lapansi kudzaweruza dziko lapansi, Koma kuti dziko liyenera kupulumutsidwa kudzera mwa iye. (Joh 3:15-17)

Zolakwa zathu zili ndi zotsatirapo zenizeni. Amavulaza ena ndipo amakhumudwitsa Mulungu. Monga gwero lenileni lakhalidwe ndi chilungamo, Nthawi zonse Mulungu amaumirira kuti chilungamo chichitike - kwathunthu - ndikuwoneka kuti zikuchitika. Yesu Akwaniritsa Kuti Chilungamo Potengera Malo Athu, Kukhululuka ndi kuchikhululukiro ndi kuchiritsidwa kopanda malire kwa aliyense amene amamukhulupirira.

… who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. (1Pe 2:24)

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Gal 3:13-14)

Grace means ‘undeserved favour.’ God had every reason and right to condemn and destroy us: but God’s forgiveness comes to us as an un-earned and unconditional ‘miracle of grace.’ His love for us is so immense that he chose to suffer the penalty of our sins himself rather than see us destroyed by them. Zomwe tikuyenera kuchita ndikuyang'ana Yesu ndikumukhulupirira.

Koma tingapeze bwanji mphamvu zogonjetsa mayesero? Ndendende momwemo ...

Chozizwitsa cha 'Mulungu mwa ife’

Gawo lachiwiri la chozizwitsa cha Mulungu ku mphamvu yauchimo limakhala lodabwitsa kwambiri; Mulungu mwiniyo akukhulupirira kuti abwera ndikukhala kudzera mwa ife!

Mtima watsopano ndidzakupatsani, ndi Mzimu Woyera Ndidzakuikani Mkati mwanu; ndipo ndidzachotsa mtima wa mnofu wanu, ndipo ndidzakupatsirani mtima wa thupi. Ndidzaika mzimu wanga mkati mwanu, ndikukupangitsani kuyenda mu malamulo anga, ndipo musunga madandaulo anga, ndi kuzichita. (Eze 36:26-27)

Tsopano, mu lingaliro limodzi, Mulungu wakhala akuchita izi: Chifukwa Mulungu ali paliponse. Monga momwe Paulo adafotokozera anzeru ku Atene:

Mulungu amene adapanga dziko lapansi ndi zinthu zonse momwemo, iye, kukhala mbuye wa kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, sakhala m'makachisi opangidwa ndi manja, komanso satumikiridwa ndi manja a anthu, monga kuti amafunikira chilichonse, Kudziona kuti Iyenso apatsa moyo ndi mpweya wonse, ndi zinthu zonse. ... Ngakhale kuti ali kutali ndi aliyense wa ife. 'Chifukwa mwa iye timakhala, ndi kusuntha, Ndipo kukhala ndi moyo.’ Monga ena a ndakatulo anu anena, 'Ndifenso ana ake.’ (Act 17:24-28)

Koma zomwe Mulungu akuganiza pano ndi ubale wapafupi komanso ubale wapamtima kuposa munthu yemwe adadziwapo kale. M'mbuyomu, Timadziwa Mulungu kukhala 'kunja uko,’ Tiuzeni momwe tiyenera kukhalira. Koma tsopano akumafuna kuti timuwonekere mkati mwathu’ – Kuphunzira kumva momwe akumvera, kukhumba zinthu zomwe akufuna ndikuchita momwe amachitira.

Taonani, Masiku omwe abwera, atero hweh, kuti ndipanga pangano latsopano ndi nyumba ya Israyeli, ndi nyumba ya Yuda: osati monga mwa pangano lomwe ndidapanga ndi makolo awo tsiku lomwe ndidawatenga ndi kuwatulutsa kuchokera ku Egypt; Ndi pangano langa lomwe adasweka, Ngakhale ndinali mwamuna kwa iwo, atero hweh. Koma uyu ndi pangano lomwe ndidzapanga ndi nyumba ya Israyeli pambuyo pa masiku amenewo, atero hweh: Ndiika malamulo anga mkati, ndipo mu mtima wawo ndidzalemba; ndipo ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo, ndipo adzakhala anthu anga: ndipo sadzaphunzitsanso munthu aliyense mnansi wake, ndi munthu aliyense m'bale wake, kunena, Dziwani yabata; chifukwa onse azindidziwa, kuchokera kwa ochepera iwo ku wamkulu kwambiri, atero hweh: chifukwa ndidzakhululukira mphulupulu zawo, Tchimo lawo silingakumbukirenso. (Jer 31:31-34)

Nthawi zambiri timalakwitsa kuyesera kumenya nkhondo mwachindunji. Pochita izi, Tikuganizira kwambiri za vutoli; osati yankho. Izi sizimagwira ntchito; Ndipo ngakhale titagwera mumsampha wokhulupirira kuti tazindikira vutoli; Chifukwa chake pamakhala. Koma tikaganizira za chidwi chathu pa Yesu, Kenako Mzimu Woyera (Ndani wabwera ku US) imandiululira ife mwanjira yoti kufunitsitsa kwathu kukhala ngati iye ndi wamkulu kuposa zokhumba zathu; ndipo mayesero adalephera kutigwirizira. M'malo mokhala ndi nkhondo yokana kuyesedwa, Zosangalatsa za Kukhalapo kwa Mulungu zimakhala chisangalalo chotsitsimula.

Koma tonsefe, Kumatulidwa kumavundidwa ngati kalimeni ulemerero wa Ambuye, amasinthidwa kukhala chifanizo chimodzi kuchokera ku Ulemerero kupita ku Ulemerero, monganso ochokera kwa Ambuye, mzimu. (2Co 3:18)

Zonse ndi za mphamvu yake – osati zathu.
