Ambiri a inu amene mwakhala ophunzira a mawu a Mulungu kwa zaka zambiri mukudziwa kuti Mpulumutsi wathu, Yesu Kristu, anatiphunzitsa kupemphera payekha (Mateyu 6:5-6). Anati tipeze chipinda chamseri - ndipo tsegulani mitima yathu kwa Atate wathu wakumwamba. Pemphero, makamaka pamene likhoza kumveka ndi kuwonedwa ndi ena, nthawi zina lingakhale chiwonetsero chosiyana. Kapena tingayambe kudziganizira tokha.
Tilinso ndi zitsanzo zambiri za Yesu yemwe adadzuka mamawa ndikupemphera payekha. Nthawi zina amakwera phiri mu chilengedwe chodabwitsa ndi kukalankhula ndi Wamphamvuyonse (Mateyu 14:23). Ngakhale m’maola ovuta kwambiri ku Getsemane, iye anasamuka kutali ndi ophunzira ake pamene anapita yekha kukapemphera ( Mateyu 26:36-39 ). Petro anapemphera payekha ali padenga la nyumba! ( Machitidwe 10:14 ).
Ngakhale m’nthaŵi za machiritso ochititsa kaso, ngakhale kuti pali zitsanzo zambiri za machiritso ochitidwa poyera, palinso zitsanzo za munthu wa Mulungu wokonda kukhala payekha pamene akupempherera wakufa kapena wodwala. Elisa anatseka chitseko kumbuyo kwake asanapempherere mnyamata amene Mulungu anamuukitsa (2 Mafumu 4:33). Petro, pochita chimodzimodzi ndi Dorika (wotchedwanso Tabita), nayenso anatulutsa onse kunja ndipo kenako anagwada ndi kupemphera (Machitidwe 9:40).
Chifukwa chake ndimayamba bulogu iyi yokhudzana ndi pemphero lamagulu potsimikizira kuti inu owerenga anga, mukudziwa kuti ndimamvetsetsa kuti nthawi zambiri zopemphera ziyenera kukhala zachinsinsi. Ndimakonda kupemphera panja m'minda yokongola komanso bwalo ngati paki yomwe Atate wathu watipatsa. Nthawi zina, ndikupempha Mulungu Wammwambamwamba pambali pa bedi langa pamene ndikulankhula – ndi kumvetsera – wokondedwa Atate.
Koma pali mphamvu pamene ambiri a anthu a Mulungu asonkhana pamodzi mu nthawi zapadera zompempha Iye. Malemba amamveka bwino pa izinso. Makamaka panthawi ya mayesero aakulu ndi zowawa zomwe zimakhudza gulu lonse.
Ndikudziwa ambiri m'mabungwe omwe ndakhala nawo omwe samasonkhana kuti apemphere ngati gulu kuti wina awachiritse kapena kuti wokondedwa wathu Atate alowererepo pa nthawi ya mayesero aakulu (kupatulapo kutsegulira ndi kutseka pemphero pa mapemphero a tchalitchi kapena kupempha thandizo kwa Ambuye. dalitso pa chakudya). Iwo amamamatira ku ayah zokhuza kupemphera kwa mseri ndi kuti asaonekere - ndi kuti asawonekere akupemphera pamodzi ndi gulu. Ndipo komabe malembo ndi omveka bwino: pali nthawi zina timatha kukhala tikukumana ndi madalitso ochuluka omwe amabwera kuchokera ku pemphero la gulu… kubwera palimodzi ngati thupi limodzi, ndi kupempha wokondedwa wathu Atate ndi Mesiya wathu.
Mwachitsanzo mu Machitidwe 12, tingawerenge za mmene Herode - m'masiku a Mkate Wopanda Chotupitsa - anamangira atumwi awiri apamwamba, Yakobo ndi Petro, ndi cholinga chofuna kutchuka ndi Ayuda ambiri omwe ankadana ndi atumwi, powapha. Onani zomwe zanenedwa:
Machitidwe a Atumwi 12:1-5 “Nthawi yomweyo Herode mfumu anatambasula dzanja lake kuti avutitse ena a mu mpingo. Kenako anapha Yakobo m’bale wake wa Yohane ndi lupanga. Ndipo pakuona kuti kudakondweretsa Ayuda, anaonjeza nagwiranso Petro. Tsopano panali masiku a mkate wopanda chotupitsa. Ndipo m'mene adamgwira, anamyika m'nyumba yandende, nampereka
kwa magulu anai a asilikali, kuti amsunge, nati adzampereke kwa anthu atapita Paskha. Chotero Petro anasungidwa m’ndende, koma mpingo unali kumpempherera kosalekeza kwa Mulungu.”
Monga tidzadziwira posachedwa, mu nkhani iyi, pemphero losalekeza silinangoperekedwa payekha payekha m’chipinda chaumwini cha aliyense m’nyumba zawo. O ayi. Okhulupirira anasonkhana m’nyumba ya munthu wina napemphera pamodzi kwa maola ndi maola. Vesi 12 limati: “ANTHU ambiri anasonkhana pamodzi akupemphera.” Ambiri! M’nyumba ya Mariya, amake a Marko. Werengani Machitidwe 12 nokha. Funso langa: iwe ndi ine tikadakhala nawo kumeneko?
Tsopano sitikudziwa ngati kuphedwa kwa Yakobo kunali kofulumira komanso kwadzidzidzi - popanda chenjezo, kapena kodi kumangidwa kale ngati Petro? Sitikudziwa basi. Koma nthawi zambiri ndimadzifunsa kuti: NGATI James nayenso anamangidwa koyamba, palibe mawu akuti tchalitchicho chimamupempherera mosalekeza. Mwinamwake iwo analibe mwayi, chifukwa cha mwadzidzidzi. Ndikupatsani mwayi umenewo. Koma NGATI iye anaikidwa m’ndende poyamba, kodi abale akanatha kuganiza kuti Mulungu adzatetezadi Yakobo ndi mapemphero awo kapena popanda iwo? Ndikukhulupirira kuti ndikulakwitsa ngakhale ndikudabwa nazo.
Koma mukuidziwa nkhani yonseyo, ndi mmene Petro anaperekedwa mozizwitsa mpingo utapitiriza kupempherera Petro usana ndi usiku. Anasonkhana pamodzi, angapo pamodzi pamalo amodzi, kuti apemphere. Mukumudziwa Marko wa Mauthenga Abwino? Munali kunyumba kwa amayi ake - Mariya amake a Yohane Marko wolemba uthenga wabwino, wothandizira Petro - kumene adasonkhana.
Ndiyenera kudabwa: kodi tikadakhala tikuwerenga nkhani yolimbikitsa ya Machitidwe 12 ngati sakadapemphera limodzi, ngati thupi limodzi? Sindikudziwa. Koma ndi funso lochititsa chidwi, sichoncho? Mwina Atate wathu akadachita chimodzimodzi ngati onse akadaganiza zongopemphera payekha payekhapayekha kunyumba. Koma nkhani yomwe tili nayo ndi yoti Mulungu adalowapo pamene ankapemphera pamodzi ngati gulu!
Ngati simukumasuka ndi lingalirolo, tambasulani pang'ono. Yambani pang'ono. Nthaŵi zina, ngati si nthaŵi zonse, pempherani limodzi ndi mwamuna kapena mkazi wanu mwina pogona kapena nonse mukadzuka. Onjezani mwana, ngati alipo. Tsopano muli ndi gulu la atatu. “Kumene asonkhana awiri kapena atatu m’dzina langa, INE NDINE pakati pawo” (Mateyu 18:20).
Ndithudi pali zitsanzo zambiri za mphamvu ya abale kubwera pamodzi kupemphera monga pamodzi.
Ndikudziwa, ndikudziwa, Mbuye wathu amatiuza kuti tizipita “m’chipinda” chathu kapena m’malo athu achinsinsi tikamapemphera ndiponso kuti tiyenera kupewa kupemphera m’njira yoti anthu ena azitiona ndipo n’chifukwa chake amaona kuti ndife anthu “ mwamuna kapena mkazi wopemphera”. Zachidziwikire kuti zonse ndi zoona pa nthawi yathu ya tsiku ndi tsiku, yopemphera patokha. Koma pali zitsanzo zambiri za chiwombolo chochititsa mantha pamene anthu a Mulungu anasonkhana pamodzi kuti apemphere pamodzi, monga mmodzi.
Mkazi wanga ndi ine nthawi zambiri timapemphera tokha, popanda wina ndi mzake. Koma pamene wina adwala kwambiri kapena akufunika chozizwitsa kapena yankho lochokera kumwamba, tidzagwada ndi kugwada pamaso pa Yehova Mchiritsi wathu ndipo pamodzi tikweza munthuyo m’pemphero ku mpando wachifumu wachisomo ndi wachifundo ndi kum’chonderera Atate.
Okhulupirira oyambirira anali owopsya pa mapemphero a gulu. Pali chitsanzo china mu Machitidwe 4:23-32. Atumwi anali atawopsezedwa ndi bungwe lolalikira m’dzina la Yeshua (Yesu), chotero anapita kwa abale ndi alongo awo auzimu ndi kugawana nawo vuto lawo.
Machitidwe 4:23-24 “Ndipo atamasulidwa, anapita kwa anzawo a iwo okha nawauza zonse zimene ansembe aakulu ndi akulu ananena kwa iwo. 24 Iwo atamva zimenezi anakweza mawu awo kwa Mulungu ndi mtima umodzi, nati: “Ambuye, Inu ndinu Mulungu amene munalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi ndi nyanja ndi zonse zili mmenemo.
Tsopano pitirizani kuwerenga. Pambuyo pa Swala ya gulu lawo monga liwu limodzi, Ndi mtima umodzi.
Machitidwe 4:31-32 “Ndipo m’mene adapemphera, panagwedezeka pamalo pamene adasonkhana; ndipo adadzazidwa onse ndi Mzimu Woyera, nalankhula mawu a Mulungu molimbika mtima. Tsopano unyinji wa iwo okhulupirira anali a mtima umodzi ndi moyo umodzi…”
Mulungu wathu Wamphamvuyonse anadalitsa momveka bwino pamsonkhano wopempherera pamodzi. Chonde lingalirani zimenezo. Khalani okonzeka kutsatira chitsanzo chawo! Khalani okonzeka kutambasula pamene mukufunikira, kuyesa zinthu za m'Baibulo zomwe mwina simunakhale nazo. Monga kupemphera pagulu kamodzi pakanthawi. Tsopano sindimakhulupiriranso mapemphero amagulu a tsiku ndi tsiku. Koma m’nthawi ya mayesero ndi kupsinja, inde, sonkhanani pamodzi ndi kupempha Mulungu mochokera pansi pa mtima. Tambasulani pang'ono. Chitani izo. Yesani. Kutambasula kwina kwa inu kuyesa zinthu zatsopano kungakhale kukweza manja oyera m'pemphero (1 Timoteo 2:8).
Nkhani ina ya pemphero la gulu lokondweretsa Mulungu - la ambiri - likupezeka mu 2 Mbiri 20, pamene Mfumu Yehosafati ya Yuda inapemphera ndi khamu lalikulu la anthu kuti Mulungu Wam'mwambamwamba alowererepo ndi chitetezo. Yerusalemu anazunguliridwa ndi asilikali a adani osaŵerengeka.
2 Mbiri 20:3-4 “Ndipo Yehosafati anaopa, nadziyesera yekha kufunafuna Yehova, nalalikira kusala kudya m’Yuda monse. 4 Choncho Yuda anasonkhana kuti apemphe thandizo kwa YHVH; + kabili bafumine mu misumba yonse iya kwa Yuda ku kufwaya Yehova. Pamenepo Yehosafati anaimirira pa msonkhano wa Yuda ndi Yerusalemu, m’nyumba ya Yehova, pamaso pa bwalo latsopano…” napemphera pamodzi ndi gululo. Zindikirani kuti linali gulu.
13 “Ndipo Ayuda onse, ndi ana awo aang’ono, akazi awo, ndi ana awo anaima pamaso pa Yehova.
Kodi mungaganizire momwe ziyenera kuti zinalili? Kodi munayamba mwakhalapo nawo pachinthu chonga ichi? Ndipo wow! Kodi Mulungu wawo adayankhapo! Mutha kudziwerengera nokha mu ndime 14-19. Ndipo anthu onse anawerama mitu yawo nalambira Wamphamvuyonse. Tsiku lotsatira YHVH anawachitira chozizwitsa chachikulu.
Mphamvu ya gulu likuchita ngati limodzi, palimodzi. Kuyika pambali kusiyana. Kukondana wina ndi mzake ndi kukonda Mulungu wamoyo pamene tikupemphera ndi kumukhulupirira - pamodzi.
Palinso zitsanzo zina. Werengani Esitere 4. Pamene Estere anamva za ndondomeko ya Hamani yoyeretsa fuko la Ayuda, izi ndi zomwe mkazi wamkulu uyu adanena:
Estere 4:15-17 Pamenepo Estere anawauza kuti auze Moredekai kuti: “Pita ukasonkhanitse Ayuda onse amene ali m’Susani, musale kudya chifukwa cha ine; osadya kapena kumwa kwa masiku atatu, usiku kapena usana. Ine ndi adzakazi anga tidzasala kudya momwemo. + Chotero ndidzapita kwa mfumu, zimene n’zosemphana ndi lamulo. ndipo ngati nditayika, ndiwonongeka.
Mwina anasonkhana pamalo amodzi kapena sanakumanepo pa nthawi ya masiku atatu osala kudya, koma n’zodziwikiratu kuti anapemphera ndi kusala kudya nthawi imodzi, ndi cholinga chomwecho. Amanena kuti amayenera "KUSONKHANA" palimodzi ndikusala kudya. Ndipo kodi Mulungu anayamba wamvapo kupemphera ndi kusala kumeneko? Poyeneradi! (Ndiponso, ndi liti pamene tonse tinasala kudya?) Ndikukhulupirira kuti abale anu kumwera chakumadzulo kwa Kenya ku Isebania amasala kudya mwezi uliwonse kaamba ka zosowa ndi zopempha. Mulungu wathu awadalitse ndi kupereka mayankho.
Bwanji osayesa kupempherera pamodzi monga gulu kaamba ka mapempho ofulumira ndi matamando ndi chiyamiko? Kwa inu omwe mwakhala mukuchita izi kale, zabwino kwambiri. Kwa ena a inu, izi zitha kukhala zatsopano. Tonse titha kubwera pamodzi mwaulemu ndi mwadongosolo, ndiyeno wina ndi mzake akhoza kusinthana kutsogolera m’mapemphero monga momwe ena onse avomerezera m’pemphero ndi “ameni” wawo. Tikhozanso kusonkhana kunyumba ya munthu wina monga mmene anachitira mu Machitidwe 12, mwina nthaŵi ina imene ankathera m’mapemphero aumwini m’zipinda zosiyanasiyana za m’nyumba—ndipo nthaŵi zina kumasonkhana pamodzi monga gulu limodzi. Gwiranani manja, weramitsani mitu yanu ndi kupemphera monga moyo umodzi, monga thupi limodzi lotsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Wake Umodzi. Mudzazindikira kudzoza kwa mzimu wa Mulungu pamene mukuchita izi kuti mufunefune IYE - osati chifukwa cha anthu. Ndikudziwa kuti kupemphera kwamagulu kotere sikofala m'magulu ena, koma bwanji!? Ndi Baibulo. CHONCHO chitani!
Ndizosangalatsa mukamva kupezeka kwa Mzimu Woyera pakati panu. PALI mphamvu pamene ambiri a ana a Mulungu asonkhana pamodzi kuti apemphere kwa Iye monga mmodzi. Ambiri - monga mmodzi. Pamodzi, mogwirizana, mogwirizana, modzichepetsa. Dziwani njira yamphamvu iyi yofikira pamaso pa Mulungu: monga gulu kubwera kwa iye ngati thupi limodzi.
Inde, nthawi zambiri - pempherani mwachinsinsi, mwamseri, inu ndi Aba monga Mzimu Wake Yesu Khristu amapembedzera ndi chifukwa cha inu (Aroma 8:26-27, 33-34). Koma khalani otseguka ku mphamvu ya pemphero la gulu!
Ndikufuna kumva kuchokera kwa ena mwa inu omwe mungatambasule ndikuyesa izi. Chonde ndiuzeni nkhani zanu ndi zomwe mwakumana nazo. Mulole Atate wathu wodabwitsa ndi Mwana wake akudalitseni aliyense wa inu mwamphamvu.
