Ndatsala pang’ono kumudwalitsa kwambiri, ndipo ochita naye chigololo ndiwaponya m’masautso aakulu, kupatulapo ngati atalapa ntchito zawo zofanana ndi za mayiyo.” (Chivumbulutso 2:21, 22) Mofanana ndi Yezebeli, amene zikuoneka kuti ankalamulira mwamuna wake Ahabu, ndipo kenako anachitira mwano Yehu, yemwe anatumidwa ndi Mulungu kuti adzamuphe, azimayi oipawa mwina ankanyengerera amuna awo komanso akulu kuti azichita zinthu zoipa.

Choncho anayenera kulangidwa. Pamenepa pali chenjezo lamphamvu kwa Akhristu masiku ano. Anthu amene amatsanzira Yezebeli, kaya ndi amuna kapena akazi, akudwala kwambiri mwauzimu.

Ndipo aliyense asaganize kuti angapusitse Mulungu kapena Khristu poyesa kubisa khalidwe lachiwerewere kapena pochita utumiki mwakhama kwambiri kuti aphimbe tchimo.—Yakobo 5:14, 15.

Tisaiwale kuti Yehu anali ndi mtima wosalekerera zoipa ndipo anachita khama kwambiri pofuna kuchotsa zinthu zonse zoipa zimene Yezebeli anayambitsa mu Isiraeli.
