3. Kodi dzina la Mulungu limatiuza chiyani za iye?

³ Yehova samangokwaniritsa malonjezo ake chifukwa chokonda atumiki ake koma makamaka chifukwa cha dzina lake.

Mfumu Solomo inalemba malangizo akuti: “Khulupirira Yehova ndi mtima wako wonse, ndipo usadalire luso lako lomvetsa zinthu.

Tsiku lililonse chikhulupiriro cha Yeremiya chinkayesedwa chifukwa chomvera Mulungu pogwira ntchito yolalikira uthenga wa chiweruzo Chake. Pa nthawi ina ngakhale Baruki, yemwe anali mlembi wake wokhulupirika, anadandaula chifukwa chotopa. (Yer. 45:2, 3) Kodi Yeremiya anagwa ulesi chifukwa cha zimenezi? Pa nthawi zina iye ankavutika kwambiri maganizo mpaka anafika ponena kuti: “Litembereredwe tsiku limene ndinabadwa!” Ananenanso kuti: “N’chifukwa chiyani ndinabadwa? Kodi ndinabadwa kuti ndidzagwire ntchito yakalavulagaga ndi kukhala wachisoni, ndi kuti moyo wanga ufike kumapeto kwake ndili wamanyazi?”​—Yer. 20:14, 15, 18.

Pa nthawi ya chilala sadzada nkhawa kapena kusiya kubala zipatso.”

⁹ Mofanana ndi mtengo wa zipatso wobiriwira “wobzalidwa m’mphepete mwa madzi” kapena m’munda wa zipatso wothiriridwa bwino, Yeremiya ‘sanasiye kubala zipatso.’ Iye sanalole kufooketsedwa ndi anthu oipa amene ankamunyoza. M’malomwake, iye nthawi zonse ankadalira Kasupe wa “madzi” opatsa moyo ndipo ankatsatira zonse zimene Yehova anamuuza. (Werengani Salimo 1:1-3; Yer. 20:9) Apatu Yeremiya anatipatsa chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri makamaka ngati tikutumikira Mulungu m’madera ovuta. Ngati mukutumikira m’dera lovuta, pitirizani kudalira kwambiri Yehova amene angakuthandizeni kupirira “polengeza dzina lake kwa anthu ena.”​—Aheb. 13:15.

Iye watipatsanso abale ndi alongo amene amatilimbikitsa tikamacheza nawo pa misonkhano yampingo ndi ikuluikulu. Kodi mumagwiritsa ntchito mokwanira zinthu zimene watipatsazi? Anthu onse amene amagwiritsa ntchito mokwanira zinthu zimenezi “adzafuula mokondwa chifukwa chokhala ndi chimwemwe mumtima.” Koma amene samvera Mulungu ‘adzalira chifukwa chopwetekedwa mtima ndipo adzafuula chifukwa chosweka mtima.’​—Yes. 65:13, 14.

(Yer. 17:5, 6) Mosiyana ndi anthu amenewa, atumiki a Yehova amapeza chitetezo chenicheni kwa Yehova, yemwe ndi “Thanthwe mpaka kalekale.” (Yes. 26:4) Wamasalimo ananena kuti: “[Yehova] ndi thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa, malo anga okwezeka ndiponso achitetezo.” (Werengani Salimo 62:6-9.) Kodi tingatani kuti tipeze chitetezo m’Thanthwe limeneli?

¹² Timamamatira Yehova ngati tikumvera Mawu ake amene nthawi zambiri amatsutsana ndi nzeru za anthu. (Sal. 73:23, 24) Mwachitsanzo, anthu amene amayendera nzeru za anthu angatiuze kuti: ‘Moyotu ndi waufupi.’ ‘Mupeze ntchito yabwino.’ ‘Muzipeza ndalama zambiri.’ ‘Mugule zakutizakuti.’ Kapena anganene kuti, ‘Muziyenda kuti muone dziko n’kumasangalala.’ Koma nzeru yochokera kwa Mulungu imagwirizana ndi malangizo akuti: “Amene amagwiritsira ntchito dzikoli azikhala ngati amene sakuligwiritsira ntchito mokwanira, pakuti zochitika za padzikoli zikusintha.” (1 Akor. 7:31) Yesu nayenso akutilimbikitsa kuti nthawi zonse tiziika zinthu za Ufumu patsogolo ndipo tikatero ndiye kuti tikusunga ‘chuma kumwamba,’ malo amene ndi otetezeka kwambiri.​—Mat. 6:19, 20.

¹³ Kodi mmene mumaonera “dziko” ndiponso “zinthu za m’dziko” zimasonyeza kuti mumadalira Mulungu ndi mtima wanu wonse?

(Afil. 3:8) Kodi mumayesetsa kukhala ndi ‘diso lolunjika pa chinthu chimodzi’? (Mat. 6:22) Koma sikuti Mulungu akufuna kuti muzinyalanyaza maudindo ena amene muli nawo makamaka ngati muli ndi banja limene muyenera kulisamalira. (1 Tim. 5:8) Iye amafuna kuti atumiki ake azimukhulupirira ndi mtima wonse osati kukhulupirira dziko la Satana limene likupitali.​—Aheb. 13:5.

Sindinkasowa zinthu zakuthupi koma ndinkaona kuti ndikuchita zinthu zochepa potumikira Mulungu. Titapempherera nkhaniyi n’kuionanso bwinobwino, ine ndi Ruth tinagwirizana zoti ndikapemphe bwana wanga kuti ndizingogwira ntchito masiku anayi pa mlungu ngakhale kuti m’dziko lathu munali mavuto a zachuma.

Ndawonjezera nthawi imene ndimalalikira kuwirikiza kawiri, maphunziro anga a Baibulo awirikizanso katatu ndipo ndikutumikira mokwanira pa udindo wanga mu mpingo. Popeza ndili ndi nthawi yokhala pakhomo n’kumathandiza kusamalira ana, Ruth amakwanitsa  kuchita upainiya wothandiza nthawi ndi nthawi. Panopa ndatsimikiza mtima kuti ndizichita zimenezi basi.”

Roy anati: “Ine ndimagwira ntchito masiku atatu pa mlungu ndipo Petina amagwira masiku awiri. Tinasamukanso m’nyumba yomwe tinkakhala n’kupita m’nyumba yaing’ono yosavuta kuisamalira. Tinkachita upainiya tisanabereke mwana wathu wamwamuna ndi wamkazi ndipo sitinasiye mtima wofuna kuchita upainiya. Ana athu atakula tinayambiranso kuchita utumiki wa nthawi zonse.

¹⁷ Palibe munthu amene angadziwe kuti mawa zinthu zidzayenda bwanji, chifukwa “nthawi yatsoka ndi zinthu zosayembekezereka” zimagwera aliyense. (Mlal. 9:11) Komabe sikuti tizisowa mtendere poganiza kuti kodi mawa kugwa chiyani ngati mmene amachitira anthu amene sali pa ubwenzi wolimba ndi Mulungu. (Mat. 6:34) Mtumwi Paulo analemba kuti: “Musamade nkhawa ndi kanthu kalikonse, koma pa chilichonse, mwa pemphero ndi pembedzero, pamodzi ndi chiyamiko, zopempha zanu zidziwike kwa Mulungu. Mukatero, mtendere wa Mulungu umene umaposa kuganiza mozama kulikonse, udzateteza mitima yanu ndi maganizo anu.”​—Afil. 4:6, 7.

¹⁸ Abale ndi alongo ambiri amene akukumana ndi mavuto odetsa nkhawa amapeza mtendere wochokera kwa Yehova ndipo mtima wawo umakhala m’malo.

Ndiye kuti chiyani?’ Ndiye pa nthawiyo komanso nthawi zina ndinkapemphera kwa Yehova chamumtima ndipo mtendere wake unkandikhazika mtima pansi. Zitatero ndinalimba mtima kwambiri. Ngakhale kuti ndinali wofooka chifukwa chokhala ndi magazi ochepa, ndinatha kufotokoza bwino zimene ndimakhulupirira pa nkhani ya magazi pogwiritsa ntchito Malemba.”

Mwina munamvapo m’bale kapena mlongo akunena kuti: “Nkhaniyi yafika pa nthawi yake. Zikungokhala ngati alembera ineyo.” Kaya tikumane ndi vuto lotani, Yehova adzatisonyeza chikondi chake ngati timudalira. Pajatu ndife “nkhosa” zake ndipo walola kuti tizidziwika ndi dzina lake.​—Sal. 100:3; Yoh. 10:16; Mac. 15:14, 17.
