Pakuti aliyense wochita zimenezi ndi wonyansa kwa Yehova.” (Deut. 18:10-12) Akhristu sayendera Chilamulo chimene Yehova anapatsa Aisiraeli. Koma maganizo a Yehova pa nkhani yokhulupirira mizimu sanasinthe.​—Mal. 3:6.

6. (a) Kodi Satana amapusitsa bwanji anthu? (b) Mogwirizana ndi Mlaliki 9:5, kodi n’chiyani chimachitika munthu akamwalira?

Satana amagwiritsa ntchito njirayi pofuna kuti anthu azikhulupirira kuti munthu akafa amakakhalanso ndi moyo kwinakwake. (Werengani Mlaliki 9:5.) Kukhulupirira mizimu kumachititsanso kuti anthu azikhala mwamantha n’kusiya kutumikira Yehova. Cholinga cha Satana n’chakuti anthu azidalira mizimu yoipa m’malo modalira Yehova.

(Werengani Salimo 146:4.) Amatiuzanso  kuti Yehova yekha ndi amene angathe kulosera zoona zokhazokha. (Yes. 45:21; 46:10) Tikamawerenga komanso kusinkhasinkha Mawu a Mulungu nthawi zonse, tikhoza kupewa ndiponso kudana ndi mabodza a Satana ndi ziwanda.

Mwachitsanzo, timapewa kupita kwa anthu amene amati amalankhulana ndi anthu amene anamwalira. Monga tinaonera munkhani yapita ija, timapewa kuchita miyambo yokhudza kukhulupirira kuti munthu akafa amakhalabe ndi moyo kwinakwake. Sitiyesanso kudziwa zam’tsogolo pogwiritsa ntchito anthu olosera kapena okhulupirira nyenyezi.

¹⁰ Tizitaya chinthu chilichonse chokhudzana ndi matsenga. Anthu ena amene ankakhala ku Efeso nthawi ya atumwi ankachita zamizimu. Koma ataphunzira choonadi anasiya. Baibulo limanena kuti: “Ambiri ndithu amene anali kuchita zamatsenga anasonkhanitsa mabuku awo pamodzi ndi kuwatentha pamaso pa onse.” (Mac. 19:19) Anthuwa anaona kuti m’pofunika kusiyiratu kuchita zamizimu. Mabuku awo anali odula kwambiri. Koma m’malo mopatsa anthu ena kapena kuwagulitsa, anawawononga. Iwo ankaganizira kwambiri zosangalatsa Yehova osati mtengo wa mabukuwo.

Apa tikutanthauza zinthu monga zithumwa, mankhwala otsirikira  kapena chinthu chilichonse chimene anthu amavala kapena kukhala nacho pofuna kudziteteza ku mizimu yoipa.​—Werengani 1 Akorinto 10:21.

12. Kodi tingadzifunse mafunso ati pa nkhani ya zosangalatsa?

¹² Tizisankha bwino zosangalatsa. Tiyenera kudzifunsa kuti, ‘Kodi ndimawerenga mabuku, magazini kapena nkhani za pa intaneti zokhudzana ndi matsenga? Nanga bwanji nyimbo zimene ndimamvetsera, mavidiyo amene ndimaonera kapena masewera apakompyuta amene ndimakonda? Kodi zosangalatsa zimene ndimakonda zimakhudzana ndi zamizimu? Kodi zimakhala zokhudza mavampaya, mizukwa kapena zinthu zina zamatsenga? Kodi zimandichititsa kuganiza kuti zinthu zokhudzana ndi matsenga, kulodzana kapena kutembererana zilibe vuto?’ N’zoona kuti pali zosangalatsa zina zimene zimasonyeza zinthu zongopeka zomwe sizikhudzana ndi zamizimu. Koma tikamasankha zosangalatsa tiyenera kupewa chilichonse chimene Yehova amadana nacho. Tiyeni tizichita zonse zimene tingathe kuti ‘tisapalamule chilichonse kwa Mulungu.’​—Mac. 24:16. *

13. Kodi tiyenera kupewa kuchita chiyani?

¹³ Tizipewa kufotokoza nkhani zokhudza ziwanda. Tiyenera kutsanzira Yesu pa nkhani imeneyi.

Yesu ankafuna kukhala mboni ya Yehova osati mneneri wa Satana. Ifenso tizimutsanzira  popewa kufalitsa nkhani zokhudza ziwanda. M’malomwake, zolankhula zathu zizisonyeza kuti mtima wathu ‘wagalamuka ndi nkhani yosangalatsa’ yomwe ndi mfundo za choonadi.​—Sal. 45:1.

14-15. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani sitiyenera kuopa ziwanda? (b) Kodi pali umboni wotani wosonyeza kuti Yehova amateteza anthu ake masiku ano?

¹⁴ Tisamaope mizimu yoipa. M’dzikoli zinthu zoipa zikhoza kutichitikira. Mwachitsanzo, tingakumane ndi ngozi, matenda kapena imfa yadzidzidzi. Koma tisamaganize kuti mizimu yoipa ndi imene yachititsa. Baibulo limanena kuti “nthawi yatsoka ndi zinthu zosayembekezereka zimagwera” aliyense. (Mlal. 9:11) Yehova wasonyeza kale kuti ndi wamphamvu kuposa ziwanda. Mwachitsanzo, Mulungu sanalole Satana kuti aphe Yobu. (Yobu 2:6) Munthawi ya Mose, Yehova anasonyeza kuti ndi wamphamvu kuposa amatsenga a ku Iguputo. (Eks. 8:18; 9:11) Yesu atapita kumwamba, Yehova anamupatsa mphamvu zambiri moti anathamangitsako Satana ndi ziwanda zake. Posachedwapa, iwo adzaponyedwanso m’phompho ndipo pa nthawiyo sadzavutitsanso aliyense.​—Chiv. 12:9; 20:2, 3.

¹⁵ Tili ndi umboni wamphamvu wosonyeza kuti Yehova amateteza anthu ake masiku ano. Mwachitsanzo, tikutha kulalikira komanso kuphunzitsa anthu choonadi padziko lonse. (Mat. 28:19, 20) Tikamachita zimenezi timathandiza anthu kudziwa ziwembu za Satana. Satana akanakhala ndi mphamvu zambiri akanatha kuletseratu ntchito yathu, koma sangathe. Ndiye tisamaope mizimu yoipa. Paja “maso a Yehova akuyendayenda padziko lonse lapansi kuti aonetse mphamvu zake kwa anthu amene mtima wawo uli wathunthu kwa iye.” (2 Mbiri 16:9) Ngati ndife okhulupirika kwa Yehova, ziwanda sizingatiwonongeretu.

16-17. Perekani chitsanzo chosonyeza kuti pamafunika kulimba mtima kuti tikane zamizimu.

¹⁶ Pamafunika kulimba mtima kuti tikane zamizimu, makamaka ngati anzathu kapena achibale akutitsutsa. Koma Yehova amadalitsa anthu amene amalimba mtima pa nthawi  ngati imeneyi. Chitsanzo ndi zimene zinachitikira mlongo Erica wa ku Ghana. Mlongoyu anayamba kuphunzira Baibulo ali ndi zaka  21. Bambo ake anali wansembe ndipo ankachita zamizimu. Ndiye ankafuna kuti mlongoyu azichita nawo mwambo wodya nyama imene inkaperekedwa nsembe kwa milungu ya bambo akewo. Erica atakana, banja lake lonse linaona kuti wanyoza milungu yawo. Onse ankakhulupirira kuti milunguyo iwalanga powadwalitsa misala kapena matenda ena.

¹⁷ Anthu a m’banja lakelo anamukakamiza kwambiri koma iye sanalole. Kenako anamuthamangitsa kunyumba kwawo moti ankasungidwa ndi a Mboni ena. Apa tingati Yehova anadalitsa Erica pomupatsa banja latsopano ndipo ankakhala nawo ngati achibale ake enieni. (Maliko 10:29, 30) Ngakhale kuti achibale ake anamukana komanso kumuwotchera katundu, Erica anakhalabe wokhulupirika kwa Yehova. Iye anabatizidwa ndipo panopa akuchita upainiya wokhazikika. Erica saopa ziwanda. Pofotokoza za achibale ake, Erica anati: “Ndimapemphera tsiku lililonse kuti nawonso adziwe Yehova n’kupeza ufulu umene munthu amakhala nawo akamatumikira Mulungu wachikondi.”

18. Kodi timapeza madalitso otani tikamadalira Yehova?

¹⁸ Sikuti tonsefe tingakumane ndi mayesero ngati amenewa. Ngakhale zili choncho, tonsefe tiyenera kukana zamizimu n’kumadalira Yehova. Tikatero, tidzadalitsidwa kwambiri ndipo sitidzapusitsidwa ndi mabodza a Satana. Komanso sitingasowe mtendere chifukwa choopa ziwanda. Koma chofunika kwambiri n’chakuti tidzalimbitsa ubwenzi wathu ndi Yehova. Paja Yakobo analemba kuti: “Gonjerani Mulungu, koma tsutsani Mdyerekezi ndipo adzakuthawani. Yandikirani Mulungu, ndipo iyenso adzakuyandikirani.”​—Yak. 4:7, 8.
