Ifepano timbadziwa lini momwe mapolofesiya manango ya m’Bibliya yan’dzakwanisikira. (Dan. 12:8, 9) Tsono thangwe rakuti timbabvesesa lini momwe polofesiya in’dzakwanisikira, bzin’funa lini kulewa kuti iyo in’dzakwanisika lini. Mwakusaya kupenukira, tingakhale na citsimikizo cakuti Yahova an’dzatithandiza kubvesesa pa nthawe yomwe tin’dzafunikira kudziwa bzimwebzo, ninga momwe adacitira kale m’mbuyomu. Mafala yakuti “mtendere na mkhomeko” yan’dzalewedwa. (1 Ates. 5:3) Tsapanopali maboma ya pa dziko lentse la pantsi yan’pfudza magereja yentse yakunama. (Apok. 17:16, 17) Patsogolo pace, iwo an’dzafuna kupha wanthu wa Mulungu. (Ezek. 38:18, 19) Bzimwebzi bzin’dzacitisa kuti iyambike nkhondo yakumalizira yomwe ni Armagedo. (Apok. 16:14, 16) Ifepano tikukhulupira kuti bzimwebzi bzin’citika tsapanopali. Pomwe bzimwebzi bzikanati kucitika, mbatipitirizeni kutenda Baba wathu wa lufoyi wa kudzulu thangwe ra kukhala tceru pa mapolofesiya na kuthandizambo anzathu kucita bzibodzi-bodzibzi. w23.08 13 ¶19-20

Pomwe mpostolo Paulo akhalewa bza cikhulupiro, cidikhiro na lufoyi, iye adamaliza na kulewa kuti “cakufunika kwene-kwene pa bzitatubzi ni lufoyi.” (1 Ako. 13:13) Thangwe ranyi Paulo adalewa bzimwebzi? Thangwe kutsogoloku tin’dzafunika lini pomwe kukhulupira mapiciro ya Mulungu yakulewa bza dziko lipsa thangwe mapiciroyo yan’dzakhala yakwanisika kale. Tsono tin’dzafunikira kupitiriza kulatiza lufoyi kwa Yahova na kwa anzathu. Pomwe ntsiku zikupita, lufoyi lathulo kuna iwo lin’dzapitiriza kukula. Cinango n’cakuti lufoyi ndiro limbadziwikisa Akristau wacadidi. Jezu adauza anyakupfunza wace kuti: “Na bzimwebzi, wentse an’dzadziwa kuti ndimwe anyakupfunza wangu mukambafunana.” (Juw. 13:35) Kuthimizira bzimwebzi, kulatizana lufoyi kun’dzaticitisa kuti tikhale wakuphatana. Paulo adalewa kuti lufoyi “limbaphatanidzisa wanthu mwamphanvu kwene-kwene kuposa cinthu ciri-centse.” (Akol. 3:14) Mpostolo Juwau adanembera Akristau anzace kuti: “Ule omwe ambafuna Mulungu, an’funikambo kumbafuna m’bale wace.” (1 Juw. 4:21) Tenepo, tikambalatizana lufoyi, timbalatiza kuti timbafuna Mulungu. w23.11 8 ¶1, 3

Bibliya limbandendemezera moyo wa Akristaufe na kuthamanga. Anyakuthamanga omwe ambafika kuphampha an’dzasimbidwa na moyo wakusaya kumala. (2 Tim. 4:7, 8) Tin’funika kucita nyongo ya kupitiriza kuthamanga thangwe tasala pang’ono kufika. Mpostolo Paulo adafotokoza bzinthu bzomwe bzingatithandize. Iye adatiuza kuti: “Mbaticoseni cinthu ciri-centse cakulemera . . . , ndipo bwerani tithamange mwakupirira pa kuthamanga komwe kwaikhidwaku.” Kodi Paulo akhafuna kulewa kuti Mkristau an’funika lini kunyamula mtolo uli-wentse? Ne, ndibzo lini bzomwe iye akhafuna kulewa. M’mbuto mwace, iye akhafuna kulewa kuti tin’funika lini kunyamula mitolo yakusaya kufunika. Mitolo imweyi ingatisokoneze na kutinetesa. Kuti tileke kuneta, tin’funika kudziwa bzinthu bzakusaya kufunika bzomwe bzingatinetese na kubzitaya mwakamfulumize ndipo pa nthawe ibodzi-bodziyo, tin’funika lini kusiya mitolo yomwe tin’funika kuinyamula. Tikasaya kucita tenepoyo bzingakhale bzakunesa kuti tithamange. — 2 Tim. 2:5. w23.08 26 ¶1-2
