Mulungu – Wolakwiridwa Kwambiri

When pleading for God’s forgiveness in Psalm 51:4, David makes an astonishing statement:

Motsutsa inu, ndi inu nokha, ndachimwa, ndi kuchita choipa pamaso panu; kuti muyesedwe wolungama polankhula, ndi kulungamitsidwa poweruza. (Psa 51:4)

Ichi chinali yankho la Davide pamene Mulungu anaulula kuti Davide wapereka Uriya Mhiti. Uriya anali mkulu wa asilikali, odzipereka kotheratu kutumikira Davide ndi amuna amene anali pansi pa ulamuliro wake, ataitanidwa kuti abwerere ku Yerusalemu kukapereka lipoti la mmene nkhondo ikuyendera, iye anakana ngakhale kugona ndi mkazi wake usiku wonse m’nyumba yabwino pamene anyamata ake anali kupirira zovuta pankhondo.. Panthawiyi, Davide anali kuchita chigololo ndi mkazi wa Uriya; ndi kulephera kubisa chowonadi, anakonza zoti Uriya aphedwe pankhondoyo – ngakhale kuchititsa kuti Uriya apereke yekha lamulo lakupha kwa Yoabu! Kodi pa dziko lapansi Davide ankatanthauza chiyani ponena kuti tchimo lake linali kwa Mulungu yekha?

Kunena koteroko kumawoneka ngati kopusa mpaka tidzifunse kuti ndani adamva kuwawa koipitsitsa kuchokera muzochita za Davide. Uriya ayenera kuti ankamva ululu chifukwa cha mabala ake: koma n’zokayikitsa kuti ankamva kuwawa chifukwa cha kuperekedwa kwake, chifukwa sanadziwe. Akadadziwa, nanga ululu wake ukadakhala wowawa bwanji?? koma, monga mmene mneneri Natani anauza Davide ponena za mwini munda wolemera amene anaba mwana wankhosa wa munthu wosauka, Mkwiyo wa Davide unawuka ndipo, mwadzidzidzi, kuzindikira kunamukhudza iye zimenezo Mulungu anali atadziwa; ndipo anali kumva zowawa zonse ndi kusakhulupirika zimene Davide anayesa kubisira Uriya. Mutha kuwerenga nkhani yonse mu 2 Samuel 11:1-12:14.

Kodi Mulungu Ndi Wotani?

The Ultimate Artist

Mulungu ndi wojambula; ndi, monga wojambula aliyense ali ndi chidwi ndi zomwe adalenga. Kuyambira kumera koyamba kwa lingaliro amaika ndalama zake, nthawi yake ndi mphamvu zake, kutulutsa zomwe zili mu mtima mwake ndikuzibweretsa kukhala zenizeni zenizeni. Ntchito ya wojambula weniweni ndi chisonyezero cha yemwe iye ali - osati chinachake chimene iye amachita. Amagwirizana kwambiri ndi ntchito yake. Ndi cholinga cha chikondi chake. Ngati ife tidzamumvetsa Mulungu, tiyenera kuyamba ndi chilengedwe chake. Ndipo ndi chilengedwe chodabwitsa bwanji!!

Munthu amayambira pati? Ojambula ambiri amayamba kuchokera ku malingaliro awo a dziko ponena za ife: komabe Mulungu akuyamba ndi kulenga mphamvu ndi chidziwitso chokha - chinsinsi chachikulu ndi chodabwitsa kwambiri cha zonsezi! Kuyambira mawu ake oyamba – “Kukhale kuwala!" – tili ndi ulemerero wa kulowa kwa dzuwa, dziko la fungo ndi fungo, ukulu wa mapiri, kufewa kwa silika, ma symphonies a mawu, kutentha kwaubwenzi ndi mantha osamvetsetseka. Dziko likuphulika ndi zodabwitsa; ndipo zonse zikusonyeza kulenga kosalekeza kwa Mulungu.

Pamene tikuyang'ana zovuta za chilengedwe, tikuwona chodabwitsa china: Timaona mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zamoyo, nthawi zina kutsata zokonda zawo ndipo nthawi zina kugwirizana ndikugwirizanitsa zochita zawo m'njira zodabwitsa; kuyambira kubisalira kwa mlenje wamalingaliro amodzi mpaka kung'ung'udza kwa gulu la mbalame kapena gulu la nsomba. Inde, ngakhale ufulu ndi kudalirana kulipo, ophatikizidwa mu chikhalidwe chenicheni cha chilengedwe cha Mulungu.

Ndipo wojambula ali kuti mu zonsezi? Ali kutali ndi izo, kungokhala kumbuyo ndi kuyang'ana? Osati wojambula aliyense yemwe ndimamudziwa. Zolengedwa zake zimangodziwonetsera yekha. Iye adzizungulira yekha, ndipo amadziyika yekha, ntchito yake. Ndi maloto ake ndi chisangalalo chake. Ngati umu ndi mmene wojambula aliyense amaonera ntchito yake, Kodi mungaganizire mozama kuti mlengi wamkulu angakhale ndi kudzipereka kochepa pa chilengedwe chake? Pali, ndizowona, ojambula ena omwe amapanga ntchito zawo mochuluka; choncho, ngati mphika umodzi wathyoka si vuto lalikulu. Koma kwa ambiri ojambula, chidutswa chilichonse ndi chamtengo wapatali mwapadera. ndipo, pamene tiyang’ana pa chilengedwe chotizinga, timazindikira kuti pafupifupi palibe chidutswa chofanana ndi china chilichonse. Poyeneradi, akuwoneka kuti amasiyana dala. Kodi izi zikutiuza chiyani za mtundu wa mlengi yemwe tikuchita naye??

Koma zonse sizodabwitsa. Sikuti chilichonse m'mundamo chili duwa. Baibulo limatiuza momveka bwino kuti chilengedwe chinasweka; ndi, ngakhale kupirira kwake kodabwitsa, zinthu zikuoneka kuti zikuipiraipira. Ndipo ikufotokoza kuti chifukwa chake ndi chakuti pali chinthu chomveka, Satana, amene cholinga chake ndi kutsata chifuniro chake monyoza mlengi wake.

Kholo Langwiro

Kuyamikira luso la kulenga la anthu kumatipatsa chidziŵitso chamtengo wapatali cha mmene Mlengi alili. ndipo, pamene tikuphunzira za chilengedwe ndi ubale wathu ndi izo, izi zimatithandiza kumvetsetsa mbali za chidziwitso ndi kukhalapo zomwe zikuwoneka kwa ife kuti zikuyimira mawonetseredwe apamwamba a ubwino ndi ukoma.. Pakati pa moyo wosalira zambiri, Kulemera kukuwoneka kuti kumadalira makamaka pa kuberekana mofulumira komanso kukhala kovuta kudya: koma kwa nyama zanzeru zakuya kugogomezera kukufunika kwa mgwirizano ndi kulera ana.. Mwachidule, timapeza zolengedwa zikulozera ku ukoma wotsiriza wa chikondi; zonse za chikhalidwe ndi makolo.

Mmodzi mwa odziwika kwambiri a Yesu’ maphunziro akufotokozedwa mwachidule 2 mawu a pemphero la Ambuye: “Atate Wathu.” Mulungu si Mlengi wathu chabe, kutali ndi chilengedwe chake: koma watipatsa ife kanthu kena kameneka; ndipo Yesu akuvutika kutiuza zakuya kwa chikondi ndi kudzipereka komwe kumatanthauzidwa ndi ubale wa Atate ndi Mwana. Mwina chitsanzo chochititsa chidwi kwambiri cha zimenezi ndi Yesu’ fanizo la Mwana Wolowerera (Luk 15:11-32); kumene akusonyeza kuti bamboyo anadyeredwa masuku pamutu ndi kuchita manyazi ndi mwana wosayamika. Koma, Ngakhale izi, ndi malipoti a apo ndi apo a khalidwe loipa la mwanayo (Luk 15:30), atateyo akulimbikira kulakalaka kubwerera kwake; ndipo pamene iye atero, amathamangira kukakumbatira ndi kumulandiranso kukhala umembala wonse wabanja.

N’kovuta kwa anthu a m’mayiko a azungu kuti amvetse kukula kwa chikondi chimene Yesu anasonyeza m’fanizoli. M’maso Achihebri, mwanayo adachita cholakwa chimene adayenera kuponyedwa miyala (Deut 21:18-21). Ndipo kuti munthu wachikulire aonekere akuthamanga ankaona kuti n’zochititsa manyazi. Komabe bambo ameneyu anali wokonzeka kudzipanga kukhala chonyozetsa pagulu pofuna kupulumutsa mwana wake.¹ Koma masiku ano, sikuti tasiya kuona kufunika kwa zochita za atate; ambiri a ife tasiya kuzindikira tanthauzo la utate, ngakhale kudzikonda komweko.

Mwatsoka, ambiri abadwa ndi kuleredwa - kapenanso kuzunzidwa ndi kusiyidwa - ndi amuna omwe khalidwe lawo lakhala losiyana kwambiri ndi chithunzithunzi cha Baibulo cha utate kotero kuti sichidziwika.. Zambiri, kuphatikizapo Akhristu, ganizirani za utate m'njira yokhwima, wolanga, Bambo wamtundu wa Victorian, osakhutitsidwa kwenikweni ndi machitidwe athu ndikukonzekera kunyamula ndodo yayikulu pachizindikiro choyamba cha kulephera kapena kusamvera. Choncho, tikangomva kulankhula za ungwiro wa Mulungu, kusiya ‘mkwiyo wa Mulungu’ pa choipa, timaganiza kuti mkwiyo wake uyenera kulunjika pa ife tokha: koma sichoncho.

Choncho yeretsani maganizo anu, Chonde, ndi kuyesa kulingalira chochitika chonga ichi: Pali bambo, amene wagwira ntchito moyo wake wonse kusamalira banja lake. Iwo ndiwo chisangalalo chake; ndipo kwa iye zikuoneka kuti palibe nsembe imene ingakhale yaikulu kwa iye kuti apereke kwa iwo. Koma m’dziko limene akukhalamo muli nkhondo. Tsiku lina anabwerera kwawo n’kupeza kuti nyumba yake yawonongeka, mwana wake akufa ndipo banja lake litapita, kupatula mwana wake wamkazi, wamaliseche mwatheka, kulira mu ngodya. Chithunzi, Chonde, ukali wake pamene amgwira iye, kufuula, “Ndani wachita izi?!"

Mu zowawa zake ndi manyazi, mwana wamkazi amachepa. Sanaonepo bambo ake atakwiya chonchi. Koma mkwiyo umenewo walunjika kwa ndani?? Osati iye. Komanso samayamba nthawi yomweyo kumufunsa kuti adziwe amene wapalamulayo. Kulira, amamunyamula m'manja mwake, kunyalanyaza umboni wa kunyozeka kwake, ndikuyamba kumulimbikitsa. Chifukwa, choyamba mkwiyo wake ndi kusonyeza chisoni chake pa choipa chimene chachitidwa kwa iye; ndipo chikhumbo chake chofulumira kwambiri ndicho kuyamba kuthetsa vutolo.

Timawerenga molakwa mkwiyo wa Mulungu chifukwa timauona mmene anthu amauonera. Cholinga chathu chachikulu chimakhala pa zowonongeka zomwe zachitika komanso zomwe zatayika: koma Mlengi sali choncho. M’lingaliro lakuthupi, Mulungu ndi wokwanira ndipo sangawonongeke. Komabe Baibulo limatiuza kuti mdani wa Mulungu, Satana, watsimikiza kumutsutsa Iye. Koma bwanji? Sangathe kumenyana ndi Mulungu mwachindunji: koma akhoza kuukira zinthu zimene Mulungu amakonda. Zinthu wamba zitha kusinthidwa mosavuta; ndiye ichi ndi chokhumudwitsa kwakanthawi: koma pali njira yomupweteketsa mtima kwambiri Mulungu.

Kodi Mulungu Amamva Zowawa?

Inu kapena ine tikayang'ana munthu, timawona machitidwe awo ndipo kuchokera pamenepo timazindikira malingaliro awo. Timatha kumva ululu kapena chisangalalo chathu. Koma Mulungu ndiye Woyambitsa kuzindikira, ndi kukhalapo konse. Amamva zimene timamva. Choncho, pamene Satana amapweteka, manyazi kapena kuzunzika pa zolengedwa zanzeru zomwe Mulungu adapanga, Mulungu amamvanso.

Yehova anaona kuti kuipa kwa anthu kunali kwakukulu pa dziko lapansi, ndi kuti ndingaliro zonse za maganizo a mtima wa munthu zinali zoipa zokhazokha. Yehova anamva chisoni kuti anapanga anthu padziko lapansi, ndipo mtima wake unabvutika kwambiri. (Gen 6:5-6)

Nthawi zambiri sitiganiza kuti Mulungu amamva ululu ndi chisoni: koma amatero. (Kuwona Jeremiah 48:30-38 mwachitsanzo.) Ife tikuganiza molakwika kuti, popeza Mulungu wapanga kumwamba kukhala malo angwiro, ndiye kuti Mulungu mwiniyo ayenera kukhala wosadziŵika kotheratu ku chilengedwe chake; osakhudzidwa ndi zowawa ndi zowawa za anthu. Koma mkhalidwe weniweniwo mwina ndi wosiyana kwambiri. Mulungu anapanga munthu m’chifanizo chake. Zomwe zimapangitsa munthu kukhala wapadera kwambiri, chosiyana kwambiri ndi nyama zina zonse? Ndi mawonekedwe athu athupi? Ayi; sitikuwoneka mosiyana ndi anyani. Ndi nzeru zathu? Chabwino, tili ndi luso lodabwitsa la kulingalira ndi kumvetsetsa: koma nyama zina ndi zanzeru kwambiri; ndipo poyerekezera ndi Mulungu ndife osayankhula, kwenikweni.

“Pakuti maganizo anga sali maganizo anu, kapena njira zanu siziri njira zanga,” watero Yehova. “Monga kumwamba kuli pamwamba kuposa dziko lapansi, momwemonso njira zanga ziri zazitali kupambana njira zanu, ndi maganizo anga kupambana maganizo anu. (Isa 55:8-9)

Choncho ganizirani kwa kanthawi za kumene chikumbumtima, kumverera, malingaliro athu a makhalidwe abwino, chikondi, chilungamo - ngakhale ululu ndi chisoni - zimachokera. Ndi chiyani chomwe chimapangitsa anthu kukhala apadera kwambiri kotero kuti amakhala pamalo apamwamba kwambiri m'chilengedwe? Kodi chinsinsi chachikulu chokhudza ifeyo ndi chiyani chomwe palibe wasayansi yemwe angafotokoze mokwanira? Ndi chodabwitsa cha chidziwitso: kuthekera kowona, kumva, kwa panokha ndikumverera kumva chisangalalo ndi zowawa, chiyembekezo, mantha, chikondi, ndi zina. – osati m'makhalidwe kapena machitidwe chabe, kapena ngati kuchita logic: koma mwachindunji, zokumana nazo zaumwini. Koma, pomwe kuthekera kolumikizana ndi chidziwitso ndikuyambitsa mayankho oyenera ndikofunikira mosakayikira pakhalidwe lililonse lowoneka ngati lanzeru., palibe chifukwa chowonetsera chifukwa chake izi ziyenera kubweretsa chidziwitso chilichonse. Poyeneradi, Chowonadi ndichakuti ntchito zambiri mabiliyoni ambiri zomwe ubongo wanga zimachita zimachitika popanda kudziwa kwanga.; ndipo palibe ubongo wapakati womwe umadziwika kuti chidziwitso changa chingapezeke. Ngakhale, zikuwoneka kuti ubongo wanga ndi 'chipinda chowongolera' chovuta kwambiri,’ zomwe 'I’ ndine woyang'anira. Koma kusokoneza kulumikizana kwa minyewa m'thupi langa kapena muubongo ndipo nditha kusiya kumva, kumva, kuwona – kapena kuganiza. Pali zatha 7 biliyoni yathu’ mdziko lapansi: komabe ndikungolingalira zomwe ena akumva; chifukwa sindikhala mkati, ndipo sindikugwirizana nazo, ubongo kapena matupi awo.

Baibulo limafotokoza kuti Mulungu ‘amadzaza zinthu zonse’ (2Chron 6:18; Eph 4:10) ndi kuti Iye ndi Mlengi wathu, amene anatipanga ‘m’chifanizo chake’ (Gen 1:27-28). Kodi n’zomveka kuganiza kuti Mulungu anatipatsa mikhalidwe yodabwitsayi?, zolengedwa zake, popanda kudziwa kwenikweni zomwe akumva ngati iye? Ndipo ngati chikondi chingatilimbikitse kuchita zinthu zomwe sitingaziyerekezere ndi ena, ndi zomveka kapena zomveka kunena kuti munthu wangwiro, wopandamalire, Mulungu angakonde zochepa? Ngati zimatipweteka tikamaona ena akuvutika, Mulungu sangadandaule koposa? Ngati takwiya ndi kupanda chilungamo, ndi kufuna kubwezera chilango, chifukwa chiyani Mulungu? Kodi munthu ndi chiyani pomuyerekeza ndi Mulungu? Kukhoza kwathu kumva zowawa kupitirira malire athu akuthupi kumachepetsedwa ndi kusalumikizana kwathu ndi ena: so who suffers most from all our wrongdoings and cruelties against one another?

God’s Chief Concern is our Hearts

What is it about human beings that make us so special to him? The Bible tells us that God looks at the heart (Chiheberi, ‘labe,’ kutanthaza, ‘the midst’) – not simply the pump: but the core of our conscious feelings and motives.

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1Sa 16:7)

After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him:

‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ (Act 13:22)

David, as we have already seen, was far from perfect. Komabe anali wokhoza, pamene kukumana, kuwona ndi kumva zinthu m’njira ya Mulungu. Kutengeka uku, limodzi ndi kufunitsitsa kwake kuvomereza zolakwa zake ndi kusintha njira zake, zinali zofunika kwambiri pa unansi wake ndi Mulungu.

Ngati chikondi chingatilimbikitse kuchita zinthu zimene sitingaziyerekezere ndi ena, ndi zomveka kapena zomveka kunena kuti munthu wangwiro, wopandamalire, Mulungu angakonde zochepa? Ndipo ngati zimatipweteka tikamaona ena akuvutika, Mulungu sangadandaule koposa? Ngati takwiya ndi kupanda chilungamo, ndi kufuna kubwezera chilango, chifukwa chiyani Mulungu? Kodi munthu ndi chiyani pomuyerekeza ndi Mulungu? Kukhoza kwathu kumva zowawa kupitirira malire athu akuthupi kumachepetsedwa ndi kusalumikizana kwathu ndi ena: so who suffers most from all our wrongdoings and cruelties against one another? Kodi si Mulungu, amene akuwadziwa ndi kuwamva onse? Udzudzu ukatiluma, kodi ife timakayikira ufulu wathu kuti swat izo? Kodi kuli koyenera kotani nanga kwa Mulungu kuwononga iwo amene mwadala amasautsa ndi kuwononga chilengedwe chake ndi kubwezera chifundo chake ndi chipongwe chonyozeka??

Zofuna Zachilungamo

Baibulo limatiuza kuti pamene Mulungu analenga dziko lapansi, zinali zabwino kwambiri’ (Gen 1:31). Tikunena pano za ‘ubwino’ m'lingaliro la kukongola kokongola ndi mgwirizano wogwira ntchito wa chilengedwe. Yoyamba, Adamu ndi Hava anakhala ndi moyo mogwirizana ndi Mulungu ndiponso pansi pa chitetezo chake, wopanda lingaliro la zoyipa. Tsogolo lawo linali kuphunzitsidwa kukhala oyang’anira ndi oyang’anira chilengedwe. Ndiye motsatira anabwera mdierekezi, kuneneza Mulungu kukhala wodzikonda mwa kuwatsekereza kufikira ku mtengo wa chidziwitso.

Ichi chinali chinyengo chachikulu kwambiri. Iwo anali kale ndi mwayi wopita ku gwero limodzi loona la ubwino ndi chidziŵitso chonse; chidziwitso chatsopano chokha chimene iwo anachipeza chinali choipa.² Koma nchifukwa zochita zawo zinali kuwononga chilengedwe cha Mulungu; ndipo kuloŵererapo kunali kofunika.

Mulungu monga Woweruza

Amene amasankha kutsutsa Mulungu amafuna kumanga manja ake pomuimba mlandu wa zinthu zopanda chilungamo. Iwo amanena mosiyanasiyana kuti sanasankhe kulengedwa; kuti sakanatha kumvetsa zotsatira za kupanduka kwawo; kuti chilango chimaposa kukula kwa mlanduwo; kuti analibe mphamvu zokwanira kuti agonjetse chiyeso cha uchimo, ndi zina. Koma ku mikangano yonseyi Mulungu angathe kuyankha moyenerera, ‘Ndinakupangani ndi mphamvu yosankha; ndipo ndidakonzera dziko lino kuti musangalale nalo. Ndinakuchenjezani: koma mudakana kumvera. Simudziwa za kuzunzika kosatha ndi kusowa komwe mwadzetsa kwa ena. Simunayenera kukumana ndi mayesero nokha. Ngakhale mwachita zonsezi ndilakalakabe kukukondani ndi kukupulumutsani. Ndakupatsirani njira yopulumukira pamtengo waumwini woposa mphamvu zanu zonse zamalingaliro; ndipo komabe inu mukuzikana izo. Ndingakhale bwanji Mulungu wachilungamo ngati sindikukupatsani chilungamo chomwe mumafuna?’

Chifukwa chake mulibe chowiringula, O munthu, amene uli woweruza. Pakuti m’mene muweruza wina, mumadzitsutsa nokha. Pakuti inu oweruza muchita zomwezo. Tidziwa kuti chiweruzo cha Mulungu chili chowona pa iwo akuchita zinthu zotere. Kodi mukuganiza izi, O muntu uulanganya aabo bacita zintu eezyi, ndi kuchita zomwezo, kuti mudzapulumuka kuweruza kwa Mulungu? Kapena mukupeputsa chuma cha ubwino wake, kuleza mtima, ndi chipiriro, osadziwa kuti ubwino wa Mulungu umatsogolera ku kulapa? Koma monga mwa kuuma kwako ndi mtima wako wosalapa, ukudzisungira wekha mkwiyo pa tsiku la mkwiyo., vumbulutso, ndi chiweruzo cholungama cha Mulungu; WHO “adzabwezera yense monga mwa ntchito zake:” kwa iwo amene afunafuna ulemerero ndi chipiriro m’kuchita zabwino, ulemu, ndi kusavunda, moyo wosatha; koma kwa iwo amene ali wodzikonda, ndipo osamvera chowonadi, koma mverani chosalungama, padzakhala mkwiyo ndi ukali, kuponderezedwa ndi kuwawa, pa mzimu uliwonse wa munthu wochita zoipa, kwa Myuda poyamba, ndiponso kwa Mhelene. Koma ulemerero, ulemu, ndipo mtendere ukhale pa yense wakuchita zabwino, kwa Myuda poyamba, ndiponso kwa Mhelene. Pakuti Mulungu alibe tsankho. (Rom 2:1-11)

Udzudzu ukatiluma, kodi ife timakayikira ufulu wathu kuti swat izo? Kodi kuli koyenera kotani nanga kwa Mulungu kuwononga iwo amene mwadala amasautsa ndi kuwononga chilengedwe chake ndi kubwezera chifundo chake ndi chipongwe chonyozeka?? Yet there are a few who may feel conflicted even about swatting a fly. How much more must it hurt God to have to exact judgement against those whom he specifically made to love and be loved? (See Jeremiah 48:29-36.)

Mulungu, Amene Amafuna Chifundo

Mulungu samangokonda anthu; iye ndiye gwero ndi tanthauzo la chikondi chenicheni (1Jn 4:7-18). Chikondi chimamangiriridwa ndi chibadwa chake: 3 anthu osiyana; komabe omangidwa pamodzi mu kudalirana kotheratu ndi umodzi kotero kuti amagwira ntchito monga Mmodzi. Ndipo chikhumbo chake ndi chakuti ife titengere chikhalidwe chimenecho.

Osati awa okha omwe ndimawapempherera, koma kwa iwonso akukhulupirira Ine mwa mau ao, kuti onse akhale amodzi; ngakhale inu, Banbo, ali mwa ine, ndipo Ine mwa inu, kuti iwonso akakhale amodzi mwa ife; kuti dziko lapansi likakhulupirire kuti Inu munandituma Ine. ulemerero umene mwandipatsa Ine, ndawapatsa; kuti akhale amodzi, monga ife tiri amodzi; Ine mwa iwo, ndi inu mwa Ine, kuti akakhale angwiro kukhala amodzi; kuti dziko lapansi lizindikire kuti mudandituma Ine, ndipo anawakonda iwo, monga mudandikonda Ine. (Joh 17:20-23)

Talephera momvetsa chisoni bwanji! Komabe Mulungu amakana kutisiya; kupereka njira yobwezeretsa ngati tingodzipereka kwa Iye, monga momwe chigawenga chimathamangira, ndikuyembekeza kuti woweruzayo amuchitire chifundo. Ndipo aliyense amene angachite zimenezo adzazindikira kuti Mulungu wachifundo wodabwitsa ameneyu wachita kale zonse zomwe zingatheke kuti akwaniritse zofuna za chikondi ndi chilungamo., kuti amasuleni inu!
