—PETULO WOYAMBA—

Zikuwoneka ngati "china chake" chili pafupi, osati ku Canada kokha, komanso kwa anthu onse.
Monga ambiri a inu mukudziwa, Fr. Kyle Dave wa ku Louisiana anali nane pafupifupi milungu itatu kuti tithandizire kupeza ndalama zothandizira anthu omwe anakhudzidwa ndi mphepo yamkuntho Katrina.

Tidakhala maola ambiri tsiku lililonse tikupemphera m'basi yoyendera, kufunafuna Ambuye, nthawi zina pankhope zathu pamene Mzimu umayenda pakati pathu monga pentekoste watsopano. Tinakumana ndi machiritso ozama, mtendere, kuchuluka kwa mawu a Mulungu, komanso chikondi chachikulu. Panali nthawi zina pamene Mulungu amalankhula momveka bwino, mosakaika pamene timatsimikizirana wina ndi mnzake zomwe timamva kuti akunena.

Zinali zowonekeratu kwa ife kuti zomwe Mulungu anali kuyesera kuti alankhule zinali zotsutsana kwambiri ndi mdaniyo.
Kodi Mulungu amawoneka akunena chiyani?
“Konzekerani!”
Mawu osavuta… komabe ali ndi pakati. Chofunika kwambiri. Monga masiku akwanira, chomwechonso mawu awa, ngati mphukira ikufalikira mu chidzalo cha duwa. Ndikufuna kutsegula maluwawa momwe ndingathere milungu ikubwerayi. Kotero ... nali tsamba loyamba:
"Tuluka! Tuluka!"
Ndikumva Yesu akukweza mawu ake kupita kwa anthu! "Galamukani! Dzukani! Tuluka!”Akutiitana kutuluka mdziko lapansi. Akutiitana kuti tichoke pazovuta zomwe takhala tikukhala ndi ndalama zathu, zogonana, zilakolako zathu, maubale athu. Akukonzekera Mkwatibwi Wake, ndipo sitingathe kudetsedwa ndi zinthu ngati izi!
Uzani olemera m'nthawi ino kuti asakhale onyada komanso asamadalire chuma chosatsimikizika koma Mulungu, amene amatipatsa mowolowa manja zinthu zonse kuti tisangalale. (1 Tim 6:17)
Awa ndi mawu ku Mpingo womwe wakomoka modetsa nkhawa. Tasinthanitsa Masakramenti ndi zosangalatsa ... kulemera kwa mapemphero, mawailesi yakanema kwa nthawi yayitali… madalitso ndi chilimbikitso cha Mulungu, zinthu zopanda pake ... ntchito zachifundo kwa osauka, ndi zofuna zawo.
Palibe amene angathe kutumikira ambuye awiri. Atha kudana ndi mmodzi ndi kukonda winayo, kapena adzipereka kwa mmodzi ndi kunyoza winayo. Simungatumikire Mulungu ndi mammom. (Mat. 6:24)
Miyoyo yathu sinapangidwe kuti igawane. Zipatso za gawoli ndi imfa, mwauzimu ndi mwathupi, monga momwe timawonera pamitu yokhudza zachilengedwe komanso dera. Mawu a mu Chivumbulutso onena za Babulo, mzinda wopandukawo, atanthauza ife,
Chokani kwa iye anthu anga, kuti mungatenge nawo mbali m'machimo ake ndi kuti musayanjane ndi miliri yake. (18: 4-5)
Ndikumvanso mumtima mwanga:
Khalani mu chisomo, nthawi zonse mu chisomo.
Kukhala okonzeka mwauzimu makamaka ndi zomwe Ambuye amatanthauza "Konzekerani!" Kukhala wachisomo ndipamwamba koposa zonse kukhala wopanda tchimo lakufa. Zimatanthauzanso kudzipenda tokha nthawi zonse ndikuzula ndi kuthandizidwa ndi Mulungu tchimo lililonse lomwe titiwona. Izi zimafunikira kuchita kwakufuna kwathu, kudzikana, komanso kudzipereka ngati kwa ana kwa Mulungu. Kukhala mu chisomo ndikumayanjana ndi Mulungu.
NTHAWI YA Zozizwitsa
Mnzathu wina, a Laurier Byer (omwe timamutcha kuti Mneneri Okalamba), adapemphera nafe madzulo ena pa basi yathu yoyendera. Mawu omwe adatipatsa, omwe adalemba malo athu m'miyoyo yathu anali,
Ino si nthawi yotonthoza, koma nthawi yochita zozizwitsa.
Ino si nthawi yakukopana ndi malonjezo opanda pake adziko lapansi ndikusokoneza Uthenga Wabwino. Ino ndi nthawi yodzipereka tokha kwa Yesu, ndikumulola kuti achite chozizwitsa cha chiyero ndi kusandulika mwa ife! Mwa kudzipha tokha, timaukitsidwira ku moyo watsopano. Ngati izi ndizovuta, ngati mukumva kukoka kwa dziko lapansi pa moyo wanu, pa kufooka kwanu, chitonthozaninso m'mawu a Ambuye kwa osauka ndi otopa:
Chuma cha chifundo changa chatseguka!
Mawu awa amangobwera mobwerezabwereza. Akutsanulira chifundo kwa munthu aliyense amene abwera kwa Iye, ngakhale atathimbirira chotani, ngakhale atayipitsidwa motani. Zochuluka kwambiri, kuti mphatso zabwino ndi chisomo zikukuyembekezerani, mwina palibe m'badwo wina patsogolo pathu.
Yang'anani pa Mtanda Wanga. Onani momwe ndakupirirani. Kodi ndikuthawani tsopano?
Chifukwa chiyani kuyitanidwa kuti "Konzekerani," kuti "Tulukani" kuli kofunika mwachangu? Mwina Papa Benedict XVI wayankha bwino kwambiri potsegulira zokambirana zake ku Sinodi ya Aepiskopi ku Roma:
Chiweruzo cholengezedwa ndi Ambuye Yesu [mu Uthenga Wabwino wa Mateyu chaputala 21] chikunena koposa kuwonongedwa kwa Yerusalemu mchaka cha 70. Komabe chiwopsezo cha chiweruzo chimatikhudzanso ife, Mpingo ku Europe, Europe ndi West ambiri. Ndi uthenga uwu, Ambuye akufuuliranso makutu athu kuti mu Buku la Chivumbulutso amalankhula kwa Mpingo wa ku Efeso kuti: "Ngati simulapa ndidzabwera kwa inu ndipo ndidzachotsa choyikapo nyali chanu pamalo ake" (2 : 5). Kuunika kungathenso kuchotsedwa kwa ife ndipo tichita bwino kulola chenjezo ili kuti lidziwike ndi mtima wathu wonse, uku tikulirira kwa Ambuye kuti: “Tithandizeni kuti tilape! Tipatseni tonse chisomo cha kukonzanso koona! Musalole kuti kuwunika kwanu pakati pathu kuzime! Limbitsani chikhulupiriro chathu, chiyembekezo chathu ndi chikondi chathu, kuti tithe kubala zipatso zabwino! —October 2, 2005, ku Roma
Koma akupitiliza kuti,
Kodi chiwopsezo ndi mawu omaliza? Ayi! Pali lonjezo, ndipo ili ndilo lotsiriza, lofunikira… ”Ine ndine mpesa, inu ndinu nthambi zake; Iye amene akhala mwa ine, ndi Ine mwa iye, adzabala zochuluka”(Yohane 15: 5)… Mulungu salephera. Mapeto ake amapambana, chikondi chimapambana.
Tiyeni tisankhe kukhala kumbali yomwe ipambane. "Konzekerani! Tulukani m'dziko lapansi!”Chikondi chimatiyembekezera ndi manja awiri.
Pali zambiri Ambuye adatiuza ife… ma petal ambiri akubwera….
