Anthu omwe si olimba mwauzimu angavutike kwambiri kuti apirire mavuto amene timakumana nawo “m’nthawi yapadera komanso yovuta” ino.

Kutsatira malangizo amenewa kungatithandize kupewa mtima umene anthu ambiri ali nawo m’dzikoli.​—Werengani 1 Timoteyo 2:1, 2; Tito 2:2-8.

⁴ Zaka zambiri Paulo asanalembe makalata amenewa, Solomo analemba za ubwino wosiya zinthu zosangalatsa nthawi zina n’cholinga choti tichite zinthu zofunika kwambiri. (Mlal. 3:4; 7:2-4) Popeza moyo ndi waufupi, ndi bwino ‘kuyesetsa mwamphamvu’ kuti tidzapulumuke. (Luka 13:24) Choncho tiyenera kupitiriza kuganizira zinthu zilizonse “zofunika kwambiri.” (Afil. 4:8, 9) Izi zikutanthauza kuti tiyenera kuganizira mofatsa za mbali iliyonse ya moyo wathu wachikhristu.

Makamaka mitu ya mabanja imaona kuti kugwira ntchito mwakhama pofuna kusamalira banja lawo n’kofunika kwambiri. Pajatu munthu amene sasamalira banja kwenikweni akukana Yehova.​—1 Tim. 5:8.

(Yos. 23:12, 13) Akhristu oyambirira ankayesetsa mwakhama kuti kulambira koona kusasokonezedwe ndi ziphunzitso ndiponso maganizo opotoka. (2 Yoh. 7-11; Chiv. 2:14-16) Masiku anonso, Akhristu oona amaona kuti kulambira Mulungu ndi nkhani yofunika kwambiri.​—1 Tim. 6:20.

7. Kodi Paulo ankakonzekera bwanji utumiki wake?

⁷ Utumiki wathu wakumunda ndi wosangalatsa kwambiri. Koma kuti tipitirize kusangalala nawo tiyenera kuuona kuti ndi wofunika kwambiri ndiponso kukonzekera bwino. Paulo anafotokoza zimene ankachita poganizira anthu amene ankawaphunzitsa. Iye analemba kuti: “Ndakhala zinthu zonse kwa anthu osiyanasiyana, kuti mulimonse mmene zingakhalire ndipulumutseko ena. Koma ndikuchita zinthu zonse chifukwa cha uthenga wabwino, kuti ndiugawirenso kwa ena.” (1 Akor. 9:22, 23) Paulo ankasangalala kwambiri kuthandiza anthu mwauzimu ndipo ankaganizira mmene angathandizire anthu osiyanasiyana amene ankawaphunzitsa. Izi zinathandiza kuti awalimbikitse ndiponso kuti awathandize kukhala ndi mtima wofuna kulambira Yehova.

(Aroma 12:11; 1 Akor. 9:19) Tikamaphunzitsa Mawu a Mulungu pa phunziro la Baibulo la panyumba, pa misonkhano yachikhristu kapena pa Kulambira kwa Pabanja, kodi timazindikira udindo wathu kwa anthu amene tikuwaphunzitsawo? Zikhoza kutheka kumaona kuti kukhala ndi phunziro la Baibulo ndi udindo waukulu moti sitingakwanitse. N’zoona kuti tikamachititsa phunziro la Baibulo timafunika kusiya kaye kuchita zinthu zathuzathu n’kugwiritsa ntchito nthawi imeneyo kuti tithandize ena. Komatu kuchita zimenezi ndiko kupatsa kumene Yesu ankatanthauza pamene ananena kuti “kupatsa kumabweretsa chimwemwe chochuluka kuposa kulandira.” (Mac. 20:35) Ntchito yophunzitsa anthu za njira yopezera chipulumutso imabweretsa chimwemwe kuposa ntchito ina iliyonse.

Koma ankapezanso nthawi yoti acheze momasuka ndi anthu ena n’kukhala nawo pa ubwenzi wabwino. (Luka 5:27-29; Yoh. 12:1, 2) Kuzindikira zinthu zofunika kwambiri sikutanthauzanso kuti tizingokhala osamasuka ndiponso osaseka ndi anthu. Yesu akanakhala wokhwimitsa zinthu komanso wosaseka ndi anthu si bwenzi anthu akumasuka naye. Koma ngakhale ana ankamasuka naye. (Maliko 10:13-16) Kodi tingatsanzire bwanji Yesu pa nkhani imeneyi?

¹⁰ Ponena za mkulu wina, m’bale wina ananena kuti, “Amene uja ndi munthu woti amayesetsa kuchita bwino zinthu koma sayembekezera anthu ena kuchita zinthu mwangwiro.” Kodi anthu ena anganene zimenezi pofotokoza za inuyo? Si kulakwa kuyembekezera kuti anthu ena achite zinthu mwa njira inayake. Mwachitsanzo, ana amalimbikitsidwa ngati makolo awo amayembekezera kuti anawo achite zinazake ndiponso ngati amawathandiza kuchita zinthuzo. Izi n’zimenenso zimachitika mu mpingo.

Mkulu akamadziona moyenerera, amathadi kulimbikitsa anthu ndipo anthuwo amamasuka naye. (Aroma 12:3) Mlongo wina ananena kuti: “Sindisangalala mkulu akamangoona nkhani iliyonse mwanthabwala. Koma akakhalanso wosachezeka kapena wosaseka ndi anthu, zimakhala zovuta kumasuka naye.” Mlongo wina ananena kuti akulu ena “amakhala oopsa chifukwa chakuti amangooneka okwiya.”  Khalidwe kapena zochita za akulu siziyenera kuchititsa anthu kuiwala mfundo yakuti kulambira Yehova, yemwe ndi “Mulungu wa chisangalalo,” n’kosangalatsa.​—1 Tim. 1:11.

M’malomwake analemba kuti: “Ngati munthu aliyense akuyesetsa kuti akhale woyang’anira, akufuna ntchito yabwino.” (1 Tim. 3:1, 4) M’bale amene “akuyesetsa kuti akhale woyang’anira” amafunika kukhala ndi mtima wofunitsitsa kugwira ntchito mwakhama kuti akhale ndi makhalidwe auzimu. Amachita zimenezi n’cholinga choti atumikire abale ake. Ngati m’bale watha chaka chimodzi kuchokera pamene anabatizidwa ndipo akukwaniritsa ziyeneretso za m’Malemba za atumiki othandiza zimene zafotokozedwa pa 1 Timoteyo 3:8-13, akulu akhoza kuvomereza kuti aikidwe pa udindowu. Onani kuti vesi 8 ikunena mwachindunji kuti, “nawonso atumiki othandiza akhale opanda chibwana,” kapena kuti ozindikira zinthu zofunika kwambiri.

Kuchita zimenezi kungathandize kuti ‘anthu onse aone kuti akupita patsogolo.’​—1 Tim. 3:10; 4:15.

Pa nkhani yolemekeza akazi, makamaka amene tili nawo m’banja, tiyenera kutengera chitsanzo cha Yobu. Iye ankayesetsa kuti asamayang’ane mosirira akazi ena. (Yobu 31:1) Kulemekeza abale ndi alongo athu kumathandiza kuti tisamakopane nawo kapena kuwachititsa kuti azimangika akakhala nafe. Kulemekezana n’kofunika kwambiri makamaka kwa anthu amene ali pa chibwenzi ndipo akuyembekeza kuti adzakwatirane.
