1-2. Kansi Yehova ofuna kuti atumiki ŵake okhulupilika achite chinji?

TIYELEKEZELE kuti munthu muyakine wakukonshani kuti, ‘Kansi Yehova niwani kuli mwewo’? Kansi mungamuyankhe kuti tyani? Payakine mungayankhe kuti, ‘Yehova ni Tata wanu, Mulungu wanu, komasoti nshamwali wanu.’ Payakine mungankhale na mayankho ayakine ŵamungapaleke okhuza Yehova. Koma kansi mungamuuje munthu wamene uyo kuti nimwe mulwendo mutenti ya Yehova?

² Mfumu Davide elinganija ushamwali wapakati pa Yehova na atumiki ŵake okhulupilika na ushamwali wapakati pamunecho wang’anda na mulwendo wake. Yove ekonsha kuti: “Mwewo Yehova, niŵani angankhale mulwendo mutenti yanu? Niŵani wamene angankhale mulupili yanu yopatulika?” (Sal. 15:1) Mawu oujiliwa amene aŵa, otiyavya kuziŵa kuti n’vokwanishika kunkhala alwendo a Yehova—olo kuti azishamwali ŵake. Wamene uyu ni mwayi wapadela ngako! Kansi mwewo nimwe mulwendo mutenti ya Yehova?

3. Kansi niŵani wamene enzemulwendo woyamba mutenti ya Yehova, ndipo Yehova pamozi na yove enzekumvwa tyani kunkhala pamozi?

³ Akaliyeyamba ntchito yake yolenga, Yehova enzenkhala yeka kululu. Koma panthawe iyakine, yove elondela Mwana wake woyamba kuvyalika mutenti yake yophiphilisila. Monga Munecho wa tenti, Yehova esangalala ngako na udindo wake wanyowani wosamalila mulwendo. Baibolo yunena kuti Yehova ‘enzesangalala naye ngako’ Mwana wake. Monga vokonkhapo vake, nayesoti Mwana wake, “enzenkhala wosangalala pamenso pa [Yehova] nthawe zonse.”—Miy. 8:30.

4. Kansi niŵanisoti amene echizankhala alwendo mutenti ya Yehova?

⁴ Pavuli pake, Yehova echizalenga angelo, ndipo nawo angelo eyamba kunkhala mutenti yake monga alwendo. Baibolo yunena kuti angelo ni “ŵana a Mulungu” ndipo yuwonesha kuti ove osangalala chifukwa chakuti ali pamozi na Yehova. (Yobu 38:7; Dan. 7:10) Kwa vyaka vinyinji ngako, alwendo a Mulungu enze tyala angelo auzimu amene enzenkhala naye pamozi kululu. Pavuli pake, Mulungu elenga ŵanthu ndipo nawosoti eyamba kunkhala alwendo mutenti yake. Ayakine mwa alwendo a Mulungu enze Inoki, Nowa, Abulahamu, komasoti Yobu. Ŵanthu okhulupilika amene aŵa enzeitiwa kuti azishamwali a Mulungu, kapena kuti ŵanthu amene enzeyenda “na Mulungu wachendi.”—Gen. 5:24; 6:9; Yobu 29:4; Yes. 41:8.

5. Kansi tingaphunzile chinji kufumila pa ulosi wapa Ezekieli 37:26, 27?

⁵ Kwavyaka vinyinji, Yehova epitilija kuita azishamwali ŵake kuti ankhale alwendo mutenti yake. (Ŵelengani Ezekieli 37:26, 27.) Mwachisanzo, ulosi wa Ezekieli uwonesha kuti Mulungu ofuna kuti atumiki ŵake okhulupilika ankhale naye paushamwali uweme. Mulungu elonjeza kuti azankhazikishe “pangano ya ntendele” na ŵanthu ŵake. Ulosi wamene uyu wenzenena za nthawe yamene atumiki a Mulungu amene akuyankhala kululu pamozi na ŵanthu amene akuti azalondele chino chalo, azankhale mokatijana mutenti ya Mulungu yophiphilisila monga “gulu imozi.” (Yoh. 10:16) Ulosi wamene uyu ukwanilishiwa masiku ŵano!

MULUNGU OTISAMALILA KULIKONSE KWATINGANKHALE

6. Kansi munthu angankhale tyani mulwendo mutenti ya Yehova, ndipo ni malo otyani ŵangaifwane tenti yamene iyi?

⁶ Mu nthawe za m’Baibolo, ŵanthu enzekatishila ntchito tenti akafuna malo kuti apumule komasoti kuti atetezeke kunyengo zosiyana-siyana. Mulwendo akafwika mutenti yotetyo, enzeyembekezela kuti munecho watenti amusamalile. Tikalipeleka kuti tinkhale paushamwali na Yehova, yove otilondela monga alwendo mutenti yake yophiphilisila. (Sal. 61:4) Sewo tili na vonse vatufunikila kuti tipitilije kunkhala paushamwali wotang’a na Yehova ndipo tili na ayasu amene Yehova eŵalondela monga alwendo mutenti yake. Ŵanthu am’vyalo vonse, angakwanishe kunkhala alwendo mutenti ya Yehova. Payakine mwewo mwelutapo kale kuyachita nsonkhano wapadela muchalo chiyakine ndipo mwefwana ayanu amene osangalala kunkhala mutenti ya Mulungu. Keno tutumikila Yehova mokhulupilika yove angatilondele monga alwendo mutenti yake viliyekanthu kuti tunkhala kuni.—Chiv. 21:3.

7. Ndaŵa yanji tinganene kuti atumiki a Mulungu okhulupilika amene emwalila, akali mutenti ya Yehova? (Onanisoti chithunzi.)

⁷ Tyani ponena za atumiki a Mulungu okhulupilika amene emwalila? Kansi tinganene kuti akali mutenti ya Yehova? Eye! Ndaŵa yanji tinganene tetyo? Ndaŵa yakuti Yehova akaliŵakumbukila. Yesu efotokoza kuti: “Nkhani yakuti ŵanthu akufwa oushiwa, olo Mose efotokoza munkhani yachizambwa chaminga panthawe yechinena kuti Yehova ni ‘Mulungu wa Abulahamu, Mulungu wa Isaki, na Mulungu wa Yakobo.’ Yove ni Mulungu wa ŵanthu amoyo osati akufwa, chifukwa kuli yove onse amene aŵa ali moyo.”—Luk. 20:37, 38.

Tikapitilija kunkhala paushamwali wotang’a na Yehova, paliye chinthu chilichonse changachite Satana chamene chingatiwononge mpaka kale-kale. (Sal. 31:23; 1 Yoh. 3:8) Muchalo chanyowani, Yehova azapitilije kuteteza atumiki ŵake okhulupilika osati tyala mwauzimu, komasoti kuimfwa.—Chiv. 21:4.

9. Kansi Yehova ofuna kuti ŵanthu amene ali mutenti yake akochita chinji?

⁹ Kulaŵila chendi, Yehova watilemekeza ngako—potilondela monga alwendo mutenti yake. Sewo tingakwanishe kunkhala paushamwali wotang’a na yove mpaka kale-kale. Kansi tufunikila kuchita tyani kuti tipitilije kunkhala alwendo mutenti ya Mulungu? Keno munthu muyakine wakuitilani kung’anda kwake, mwewo mungakonde kuti muziŵe vinthu vakufuna kuti muchite. Mwachisanzo, payakine angafune kuti muvule nsapato mukaliyeloŵa m’ng’anda, ndipo mwewo mungachite vamene ivo mofunishisha. Molingana na vamene ivi, sewo tufunishisha kuziŵa vinthu vakufuna Yehova kuli ŵanthu amene ofuna kupitilija kunkhala alwendo mutenti yake. Chikondi chatili nacho kwa Yehova, chutilimbikisa kuchita chilichonse chatingakwanishe “kuti tikomukondwelesha pachilichonse.” (Akol. 1:10) N’chendi kuti Yehova nishamwali wasu, koma tuziŵasoti kuti yove ni Mulungu komasoti Atata ŵasu ndipo tuwamila kumulemekeza. (Sal. 25:14) Sewo tufunikalini kuluŵa mfundo yamene iyi komasoti tikochita vinthu vomulemekeza nthawe zonse. Ulemu wofumila pansi pantima monga niwamene uyu, uzatiyavye kupewa kuchita vinthu vamene vingamukhumudwise. Sewo tufuna kuti nthawe zonse “tikoyenda molichefya” na Mulungu wasu.—Mik. 6:8.

¹¹ Pavuli pakuti wapulumusha ŵanthu ŵake ku ukapolo ku Iguputo, Yehova esankha ansembe kuti akotumikila pa tenti. Mulungu esankha Alevi kuti akololela ntchito ziyakine patenti yake.

12. Kansi mwenzechitila vinthu Yehova na ntundu wa Aisiraeli m’chipululu vuwonesha tyani kuti yove niwosakondela? (Ekisodo 40:38) (Onanisoti chithunzi.)

¹² Mwisiraeli aliyense enze paushamwali wotang’a na Yehova, viliye kanthu kuti enzetumikila patenti olo yayi, komasoti keno enzenkhala pafupi na tenti ya Mulungu olo yayi. Mwachisanzo, Yehova enzewoneshesha kuti ntundu wonse wa Aisiraeli, ukwanisha kuona chipilala chankumbi wodabwisa na chipilala chamulilo palulu patenti. (Ŵelengani Ekisodo 40:38.) Chipilala chankumbi chikaima, olo ŵanthu amene enzekhoma matenti ŵawo kutali na tenti ya Mulungu enzekwanisha kuchiwona. Tetyo, ove enzekwanisha kulonga katundu wawo, kupasula matenti, nofuluka pamozi na Aisiraeli ayawo. (Num. 9:15-23) Aisiraeli onse enzekwanisha kumvwa zungo yosiyana-siyana yamabelo aŵili asiliva yenzelija yoziŵisha munthu kuti anyamuke. (Num. 10:2) Tetyo, munthu akakhoma tenti yake pafupi na tenti ya Mulungu venzetanthauzalini kuti ali paushamwali wotang’a na Yehova kupambana ŵanthu ayakine amene enzekutali. M’malo mwake, Mwisiraeli aliyense enze na mwayi wonkhala mulwendo mutenti ya Yehova nokhulupilila kuti yove akomusogolela nomuteteza.

Malemba atuŵa oyambilila elembewa muvilaŵilo vitatu: Chihebeli, Chialamu, komasoti Chigiliki. Kansi ŵanthu amene okwanisha kuŵelenga Baibolo muvilaŵilo voyambilila niye amene ali paushamwali wotang’a na Yehova kupambana amene okwanishalini? Yayi, niyelini mwavilili.—Mat. 11:25.
