AS Ndinalembera Nthawi Yosintha, ndinaona kufulumizitsa kwakuti Mulungu adzalankhula momveka bwino ndi kulunjika kwa ife kupyolera mwa aneneri Ake pamene zolinga Zake zikukwaniritsidwa. Iyi ndi nthawi yomvera mosamala—ndiko kupemphera, kupemphera, kupemphera! Mukatero mudzakhala ndi chisomo kuti mumvetse zimene Mulungu akunena kwa inu mu nthawi zino. Pokhapokha mu pemphero mudzapatsidwa chisomo chakumva ndi kuzindikira, kuwona ndi kuzindikira.
M’munda wa Getsemane, Yesu anapita kukapemphera—osati kamodzi kokha—koma atatu nthawi. Ndipo nthawi iriyonse pamene Iye anatero, atumwiwo anali kugona. Kodi mukumva kuti mzimu wanu ukukopeka kugona? Kodi mumadzipeza mukunena kuti, "Zonsezi sizingachitike. Ndi zenizeni… Ayi, zinthu zitha kuchitika momwe zimakhalira nthawi zonse…" Kapena mumadzipeza mukumvera mawu awa, ndikukhudzika mu mtima mwanu… kenako kuyiwala posachedwa iwo, pamene nkhawa, zosamalira ndi zosangalatsa mopambanitsa za moyo uno kukokera moyo wanu kuuchotsa mu tulo mdima wa uchimo? Inde, Satana akudziwa kuti nthawi yake yafupika ndipo amagwira ntchito mosatopa kuti anyenge ana a Mulungu.
Ndaona sabata yathayi ndili ndi chisoni chachikulu mwa Ambuye wathu… kuti anthu ochepa, kuphatikiza akhristu, alephera kuzindikira zizindikiro zowazungulira. ndi zomwe zikubwera. Ndi chisoni chomwecho chimene tinachimva m’munda wa Edeni pamene Yesu anabwerera kachitatu kwa atumwi ake ogona:
Kodi mukugonabe ndikupumula? Zakwanira. Ora lafika. ( Marko 14:41 )
