(Sal. 104:13-15; Hag. 2:8) M’Baibulo muli nkhani zambiri zimene zimasonyeza mmene Yehova anagwiritsira ntchito zinthu zimene analenga kuti athandize anthu.

Zimene Mulungu anamuchitirazi zinamuthandiza kuti apeze ndalama zobwezera ngongole zake komanso zoti iyeyo ndi mwana wake azigwiritsa ntchito.

Yehova anauza Mose kuti alamule Aisiraeli kuti azikaonekera kwa Yehova pa zikondwerero zitatu zimene zinkachitika chaka chilichonse.

⁶ Kupereka zinthu kumatithandiza. Ndi bwino kuti tikhale ndi mtima wopatsa osati kumangofuna kuti anthu azitipatsa zinthu. (Werengani Miyambo 29:21.) Mwachitsanzo, mwana wamng’ono angapatse makolo ake mphatso imene wagula ndi kandalama kamene makolowo anamupatsa. Makolowo akhoza kuyamikira kwambiri. Kapena mwina wachinyamata amene adakali pakhomo ndipo akuchita upainiya angapatse makolo ake ndalama zinazake pothandiza kugula zinthu zina zofunika. N’kutheka kuti makolowo sayembekezera kuti mwana wawo azichita zimenezi. Koma akhoza kulandira mphatsoyi chifukwa chodziwa kuti ndi njira imene mwanayo akuyamikirira zimene amamuchitira.

Ndiyeno atumwiwo ankapereka ndalamazo kwa anthu ena kuti ziwathandize. (Mac. 4:34, 35) Koma Akhristu ena ankaika ndalama zinazake pambali n’cholinga choti azipereka pothandiza pa ntchito ya Mulungu. (1 Akor. 16:2) Choncho anthu onse, kaya olemera kapena osauka, ankatha kupereka zinthu zawo.​—Luka 21:1-4.

(Luka 14:28) Kale, atumiki amene ankayang’anira ndalama za gulu la Yehova ankaonetsetsa kuti ndalamazo zikugwira ntchito yoyenera. Mwachitsanzo, Ezara anatenga zinthu zimene mfumu ya Perisiya inapereka n’kupita nazo ku Yerusalemu. Mfumuyo inapereka golide, siliva ndiponso zinthu zina ndipo zonse pamodzi mtengo wake panopa ungakwane madola a ku United States okwana 100 miliyoni.

Mu 2014 ndi 2015, m’masitediyamu 14 akuluakulu padzikoli munachitikira msonkhano wamayiko wakuti “Pitirizani Kufunafuna Ufumu wa Mulungu Choyamba.” Anthu amene anapezeka pamisonkhanoyi anasangalala kwambiri.
