ZUŴA linyaki mulenji, Wasembi Mura Aroni, wanguma pakhomu la chihema chaku Yehova wakolezge mbali yo wasunkhizgiyangamu vakusunkhizga. Pafupi ndi iyu penga Kora ndi anthurumi 250 wo nawu asunkhizganga vakusunkhizga kwaku Yehova ndipu weyosi wenga ndi mbali yakusunkhizgiyamu.

(Maŵ. 16:1-11) Yiwu angujipusika chifukwa aŵanaŵananga kuti Chiuta wazomerezga kusopa kwawu.

3. (a) Kumbi ndi nkhani niyi yo yinguchitika mu nyengu ya wakutumika Paulo? (b) Kumbi Yehova wanguchitanji ndi ŵanthu wo angugaruka mu nyengu yaku Kora?

Mphumphi zenizi, zo zawonekanga nge mbereri ‘zagadabuwanga chivwanu cha anyaki.’ (2 Tim. 2:16-18) Paulo watenere kuti waziŵanga kuti Yehova wawona mtima wa munthu chifukwa cha mo wanguchitiya ndi Kora kweniso wo angugaruka nayu. Pa fundu yeniyi, tiyeni tikambiskani nkhani yinyaki ya m’Malemba ndi kuwona vo tingasambirapu.
“INI CHIUTA KUTI NDISINTHA CHA”
4. Kumbi Paulo waziŵanganji, nanga wangumulongo wuli Timote kuti waziŵanga nadi venivi?

Wati wakonkhoska mo ŵanthu akugaruka atimbanyizgiyanga Akhristu anyaki mu mpingu, Paulo wangulemba kuti: “Kweni chiŵanja . . . chakurama chaku Chiuta chituma gwa, pakuŵa ndi chiŵali chenichi, ‘Watiŵaziŵa Mbuya ŵeniwo mbaki’: ndi ‘Wagaukeku ku uwura urunji yosi wakutamula zina lo la Ambuya.’”—2 Tim. 2:18, 19.
5, 6. Kumbi mazu ngo Paulo wangugwiriskiya nchitu ngakuti “chiŵanja . . . chakurama chaku Chiuta” ngatitisambazanji, nanga mazu ngenanga ngatenere kuti ngangumukwaska wuli Timote?
5 Kumbi mazu ngo Paulo wangugwiriskiya nchitu pa lemba lenili ngatitisambizanji? Mazu ngakuti “chiŵanja . . . chakurama chaku Chiuta,” ngazumbulika ŵaka kamoza m’Bayibolo kweni ligwiriskiya nchitu mazu ngakuti “chiŵanja” pa vinthu vakupambanapambana.

(Sumu 104:5) Vo Yesu wachita pakufiska khumbu laku Yehova, viyeruzgikiya so ndi chiŵanja. (1 Ŵakor. 3:11; 1 Pet. 2:6) Kumbi Paulo waŵanaŵananganji wachilemba kuti “chiŵanja . . . chakurama chaku Chiuta”?
6 Pa nyengu yo Paulo wanguzumbuwa “chiŵanja . . . chakurama chaku Chiuta” wangukamba so mazu ngaku Mosese ngo nge pa Maŵerengedu 16:5, ngakukwaskana ndi Kora kweniso wo ŵenga nayu.

Mwakuyanana ndi Kora, ŵanthu wo angugaruka mu mpingu atingi atondekeskengi cha khumbu laku Yehova. Paulo wangukonkhoska fundu zosi cha za vo “chiŵanja . . . chakurama chaku Chiuta” chimiya. Chinanga kuti ve viyo, mazu ngo wangugwiriskiya nchitu nganguchitiska kuti Timote wagomezgengi nthowa zaku Yehova.

Paulo wang’anamuwanga kuti, chinanga kuti mu mpingu wo Timote wenga mwenga Akhristu aboza, Yehova watingi waziŵengi wo mbaki nge mo wanguchitiya mu nyengu yaku Mosese.
12 Yehova wasintha cha ndipu ngwakugomezgeka. Iyu watinkha vinthu vambula urunji ndipu pa nyengu yaki wateruzga ŵanthu wo aleka kulapa.

Bayibolo likamba kuti: “Masu nga Ambuya ngalereska uku ndi uku m’charu chosi chapasi, kujilongo nthazi kovya wo mitima yawu njakufikapu pa masu paki.” (2 Mik. 16:9) Mwaviyo, tikhumbika kugomezga ndi mtima wosi kuti vosi vo tichitiya Yehova ‘kutuwa mu mtima ukhovu,’ nkhutaya ŵaka nyengu cha.—1 Tim. 1:5; 1 Ŵakor. 15:58.

(2 Tim. 3:1, 5) Kumbi venivi vitenere kutichitiska kuti tikayikiyengi Akhristu anyidu kuti mbambula kugomezgeka kwaku Yehova? Chinanga nkhamanavi! Kungaŵa kunanga kukayikiya abali ndi azichi ŵidu pa vifukwa vambula kuvwika. (Ŵerengani Ŵaroma 14:10-12; 1 Ŵakorinte 13:7.)

Tingajifumba kuti: ‘Kumbi nditeŵete Yehova chifukwa chakuti nditimwanja kweniso ndiziŵa kuti iyu ndiyu wakwenere kuwusa? Pamwenga nditimuteŵete chifukwa cha vitumbiku vo ndikhumba kuchilonde m’Paradayisu?’ (Chiv. 4:11) Kukamba uneneska, tikhoza kusaniya vitumbiku asani tisanda vo tichita ndipuso tileka kuja ndi jalidu lelosi lauryarya.
