Mulungu Wopanda Yesu

Banja langa linasamukira ku South Africa kumapeto kwa chaka cha 2009 kuti tikwaniritse kuyitanidwa kwathu kothandiza ana osowa m’malo mwa dziko. Pamodzi ndi maphunziro a aphunzitsi a Montessori omwe mkazi wanga, Helen, ankatsogolera, tinayambitsa tchalitchi cha ana chomwe chinakula kufika ana 150 mkati mwa chaka chimodzi. Zimenezi zinabereka gulu la achinyamata 12 omwe anali pakati pa zaka 11 mpaka 14 mu 2011. Ana awiri, mnyamata ndi mtsikana, anagwiriridwa kwawo mkati mwa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yokha atangolowa m’gulu lathu.

Nthawi Yofunika Kwambiri

Iyi inali nthawi yofunika kwambiri m'moyo wathu ku Africa. Titangochira ku mantha oyamba, tinakumana ndi chowawa chenicheni. Zaka 10 zomwe ndinkakhala mu utumiki sizinandikonzere zomwe tinayenera kuphunzira. Anthu ammudzi anayamba kusonyeza ana omwe anali avulazidwa. Ena anali ana aang'ono a zaka zitatu – komanso ena aakulu anasonyezedwa. Sanathe kuwasonyeza onse nthawi imodzi chifukwa anali ochuluka kwambiri ndipo palibe munthu m'modzi amene ankadziwa onse. Malinga ndi kafukufuku wa Optimus (2016), mu 2015 yokha panali milandu 351,214 ya chiwawa cha kugwiririra ana azaka 15 mpaka 17. Kuti tiyambe kuziyerekezera: ana 403,874 adamaliza sukulu ya sekondale mu 2014. Tinaphunzira kuti ovulazidwa, opalamula, ndi anthu omwe amawafunsa mwachisoni monga abale ndi anzawo, amapanga chigawano chovomerezeka pakati pa mabanja ndi pakati pa amuna ndi akazi. M'mlingo wa chikhalidwe cha anthu, izi zasokoneza kwambiri mtengo wa umunthu ndi kudzidalira, zomwe zimakhudza kwambiri mbali zambiri za moyo lero.

Ndine Wamtengo Wapatali kwa Yesu

Mu 2011, ine ndi Helen tinayambitsa kampeni ya "Ndine Wamtengo Wapatali kwa Yesu" kuti tizitsegula maso anthu pa nkhani ya kugwiriridwa ndi nkhanza, komanso kulimbikitsa anthu kuti adziwone kuti ali ndi phindu. Tinayenda mumisewu ndi kuchezera m’nyumba, atavala ma T-shirts a kampeni imeneyi. Anthu ambiri ankakonda kampeni imeneyi, zomwe zinathandiza kufalitsa uthenga wake. Anthu ankatisiya pamsewu ali ndi chidwi ndi zomwe tinkavala. Matchalitchi ndi anthu kuchokera ku Canada, USA, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Australia, ndi South Africa anapereka chithandizo. Kumene ma protest a toyi-toyi amachitika, ife tinkayenda mwa mtendere ndi chikondi, tikunena “Mna ndixabisekile kuYesu (Ndine Wamtengo Wapatali kwa Yesu)” zomwe zinali zatsopano kwa ambiri. Ana ambiri ankakonda kwambiri ma T-shirts mpaka ankawasambitsa usiku uliwonse kuti awavale mawa. Kuyenda kumeneku kunali kolimbikitsa ana ndi akazi kuti azindikire phindu lawo m’mudzi womwe umatsogoleredwa ndi amuna. Tatumikira anthu 20 m’madera osiyanasiyana a South Africa komanso gulu lina ku Lesotho, ndipo tagawa ma T-shirts opitilira 4,800.

Tinakumana ndi anthu ambiri omwe anali ovutika koma sanganene chifukwa cha mmene moyo wawo unali. Kampeni inathandiza anthu ambiri kupeza chiyembekezo komanso kulimbikitsidwa. Anthu ambiri anagawana nawo malingaliro awo aumwini ndi zokhumudwitsidwa kwawo – nthawi zina ali ndi misozi. Ena anangoti, “Kodi mwakhala kuti nthawi yonseyi? Pomaliza, tingachitepo kanthu pa izi.”

Gulu la Amuna Oyera Mtima

Kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi zapitazi, takhala tikufunsa kuti “N’chifukwa chiyani zinthu zilili chonchi?” Sitinasiye kufunsa. Takhala otseguka komanso omvera anthu amene anali chete chifukwa cha mantha — amuna ndi akazi. Tidatenga zambiri zomwe tinapeza mosamala komanso mwachinsinsi, kuti zitithandize kumvetsa komanso kupewa kugwiritsidwa ntchito molakwika. Zambiri zofunika tidazigawana ndi anzathu okhulupirika okha. Tidasanthula zinthu zambiri zomwe zingakhale chifukwa, kuyambira m’mabanja mpaka m’makhalidwe achikhalidwe. Pa zinthu zonsezi, tazindikira kuti anthu abwino omwe anali chete ndi amene anali chinsinsi chachikulu. Tinayambitsa RMA (Righteous Men Assembly), kuti tikonze msonkhano wa amuna abwino amene anali chete kuti ayambe kuchita. Tinkalimbikitsa makhalidwe abwino achikhalidwe cha amuna a ku Xhosa kuti awagwiritse ntchito mwachangu. Ntchito yathu idalimbikitsa anthu ambiri — ena analira chifukwa cha momwe anakhudzidwira. Tinapatsidwa chithandizo chochuluka. Komabe, sizinatheke monga momwe tinkayembekezera. Tinaphunzitsa ndi kulembetsa amuna opitilira 350 kudzera mwa maphunziro a maola awiri mpaka atatu, tinkakhala ndi zokambirana ndi misonkhano sabata iliyonse m’madera ena. Koma RMA sinalimbikitse mphamvu zokwanira kuti iziyenda yokha. Amuna ambiri ankachita mantha kufotokoza uthenga uwu ngakhale kwa abale awo kapena anzawo. Komabe, tinazindikira kuti tapanda mbewu ya chiyembekezo kwa amuna ndi akazi omwe ankafuna kusintha m’madera mwawo.

Kufunsa za Chikhristu

Malinga ndi census ya 2001, 79.8% ya anthu a ku South Africa adadzitchula kuti ndi a mpingo wa Chikhristu. Ngakhale sitikudziwa chomwe chinali choyamba, chiwerengero cha mlandu ndi nkhanza chimasonyeza momwe anthu alili pa maganizo ndi mzimu. Monga mishonale, sindinathe kuleka kudzifunsa ngati Chikhristu chiri chenicheni. Ngati pafupifupi 80% ndi Akhristu, n’chifukwa chiyani ambiri sangathe kukhala ndi moyo wogwirizana ndi chikhulupiriro chawo? Ndinalira mtima kwambiri ndikaona anthu ambiri amene anali chete, osawoneka kwa ena kapena kwa malamulo. Mipingo ili pa ngodya iliyonse ndipo misonkhano ya usiku imachitika sabata iliyonse. Pali abusa ambiri ndi masukulu a Baibulo omwe akuti athandiza osowa. Koma ndikaona anthu ambiri mu mipingo awa kukhala ndi zopweteka — kuvulazidwa komanso nkhawa zamaganizo. Anthu amaopa kufotokoza za mavuto awo m’mpingo chifukwa amaopa kunyozedwa. Kumbuyo kwa misonkhano yodzaza ndi chimwemwe, pali anthu ambiri amene akuvutika okha, mwachinsinsi, kuti akwaniritse maganizo awo ndi mzimu — ndipo amazipeza akuimba mlandu umphawi kapena matenda.

Chinsinsi ndi Kusakhala Wotseguka

Makhalidwe achikhalidwe amatengedwa ngati opatulika, kotero amafalitsidwa pakati pa amuna a ku Xhosa okha. Koma mu 2015, tinaona chikhalidwe chimodzi pakati pa anthu a ku Xhosa chomwe tinakhulupirira kuti ndi chifukwa chachikulu cha mavuto ngati kugwiriridwa, matenda a kugonana, komanso kusadzidalira. Anzathu a m’dziko lino anali ndi nthawi yovutika kwambiri pakuzindikira choonadi ichi; gulu lonse, ine kuphatikizapo, tinadabwa kwambiri. Zinawoneka ngati ntchito zonse zomwe tinali tachita poyamba zinapita pa imvi. Kukhazikitsa kudzidalira mwa azimai ndi ana kudzera mu kuphunzitsa sikunali kotheka. Ine ndi Helen tinapemphera ndipo tinasunga zambirizi pakati pathu kufikira tili okonzeka kuziganizira. Kenako, ndidatengedwa ndi anthu atatu okhala ndi mfuti limodzi ndi mnzanga. Kupulumuka m’menemo kundipatsa chikhulupiriro choti sitingathe kubisa zambirizi. Poona choonadi ichi, tinkafunikira kupeza njira ina yothandiza abale athu ndi alongo athu mwamsanga.

Zukisani

Tinakhazikitsa gulu la anthu omwe anali ndi luso losiyanasiyana kuti atithandize pa nkhaniyi. Pa nthawi yomweyi, tinayamba kucheza ndi amuna a m’mudzi omwe anali membala a Righteous Men Assembly kuti tipeze njira yoyenera. Poyamba tinkakumana ndi kutsutsidwa koopsa chifukwa cha kudzikuza kwa chikhalidwe, koma patapita nthawi anavomera kuthandizana nathu chifukwa cha momwe chikhalidwechi chinawonongekera. Tinajambula ma video a anthu osadziwika amene anafotokoza zomwe adakumana nazo. Tinapeza kuti chikhalidwechi chili kulikonse, koma chimachitika mosiyana dera ndi dera. Popeza mutu wake ndi wovuta, sitinakhutire kuchita generalization ya khalidwe loipa ndi zomwe tinkadziwa pang'ono. Choncho tinayamba ulendo watsopano ndipo tinachita kafukufuku wa miyezi isanu kuyambira August 2015 mpaka January 2016. Ine ndinalemba mafunso, ndipo Zukisani anatenga ntchito yochita kafukufuku kuchokera ku Queenstown kupita ku Mt. Fletcher. Cholinga chachikulu chinali kufufuza momwe chikhalidwechi chilili mwa anthu. Ngakhale munthu wa ku Xhosa atapita ku mudzi wosadziwika kufunsa za nkhaniyi, amatha kukumana ndi kukana kapena kubodzedwa.

Choonadi ndi Zowopseza

Zukisani anayendera midzi yaying'ono, amakhala masiku angapo mpaka sabata iliyonse akamafufuza anthu. Nthawi zina ankathandiza akazi kunyamula katundu wolemera komanso kukonza nyumba zawo kuti apeze chidaliro. Cholinga chathu choyamba chofuna kudziwa momwe chikhalidwechi chafalikira chinakwaniritsidwa bwino kwambiri. Atsikana ndi akazi ambiri anafotokoza mmene ankadandaulira komanso kukwiya, komaso kusapeza njira yothetsera vutoli. Zukisani anathamangitsidwa kangapo komanso kufunsidwa ndi amuna a m’mudzi, ndipo anakhala ndi chidziwitso cha mtsikana wa zaka 14 amene anamufunsa kenako kupezeka wafa usiku womwewo. Ankamuganiza kuti akuvutitsidwa. Akazi ambiri anafotokoza zomwe adakumana nazo akulira ndi mkwiyo. Popeza tinali otsimikiza kuti chikhalidwechi chili kulikonse, tinayamba kuyang’anitsitsa zomwe tinapeza kuchokera mu kafukufuku. Mayankho ena anatipatsa kuzindikira kwambiri komwe kunagwirizana ndi zomwe tinkakumana nazo mu utumiki. Atamaliza kufunsa anthu 143, tinakonza mafunso atsopano. Pambuyo pa miyezi isanu kuyenda kuchokera ku Queenstown kupita ku Mt. Fletcher, Zukisani anafunsira anthu 498 bwino kuchokera m’dziko la Xhosa.

Kulira M’kati

Atamaliza ulendo wake, Zukisani anasamukira kunyumba yathu. Banja lake silinkafuna abwerere chifukwa chondikila kwambiri ntchito ya utumiki. Ankakhulupirira kuti anali akungotaya nthawi ndipo sanali ndi ntchito yofunika. Ndinali kukhala naye m’chipinda chake chatsopano tikukambirana za zomwe zidachitika pa ulendo. Zinali zovuta kwa iye, chifukwa kufufuza anthu kunali kunja kwa chizolowezi chake. Titafika pa nkhani ya mtsikana wa zaka 14 amene anachita naye mafunso ndipo anapezeka wafa, Zukisani anayima pang’ono. Mtsikanayo anapezeka ataphedwa, ali m’munda, ali wamaliseche, ndipo nkhope yake inali yowonongeka kwambiri. Ana omwe amapita kukasamalira nkhosa anapeza mtembo wake. Patapita nthawi yaitali ya chete, ndinamufunsa kuti, “Ukumveradi bwanji za anthu ako?” Iye anayankha, “Ndimawakonda. Aliyense amene ndidakumana naye pa ulendowu ankaoneka wolimba mtima, koma ndimatha kuwona kuti ankulira mkati.”

Ubale Wosweka

Choncho n’chiyani chimachititsa anthu “kulira mkati”? Ndi kusweka kwa ubale pakati pa anthu. Malinga ndi kafukufuku wathu, 4.1% yokha ya amuna azaka 18 mpaka 35 ananena kuti abambo awo anali chitsanzo chabwino. Chiwerengerochi chinatsika kufika pa 1.8% pa amuna azaka 35 ndi kupitirira. Zikhoza kukhala kuti mfundo zachikhalidwe ndi zabanja zapita chifukwa cha kusintha kwa nthawi. Panali mwana wa zaka 10 amene anali wankhanza komanso ankakhala mu mavuto nthawi zonse. Ankamenyana pafupipafupi komanso kuwonetsa khalidwe losayenera kusukulu. Amayi ake ankamuponya m’mbuyo kawiri patsiku. Tinkafuna kumuuza kuti kumumenya sikuli njira yabwino yophunzitsira mwana, koma iye anati amadikira kuti anthu osiyidwa pa banja asamudandaule. Amayi ambiri amaloledwa kuchita zinthu zovulaza ana awo bola zinthu zisamayambitse mavuto panyumba. Palibe chinsinsi choti anthu omwe ali ndi ntchito amakhala otetezedwa ngakhale atachita zolakwika monga kugwirira. Tawona anthu angapo omwe anali opha ndipo banja lawotha kuteteza chifukwa choti anali ndi ntchito. Akatayika ntchito, amayi awo amawafotokozera apolisi. Panthawi imeneyo, akazi ndi ana omwe amakhala pafupi ndi amenewo amaopa kwambiri. Kafukufuku wathu awonetsa kuti kusasamala ndi manyazi zimabweretsa kumwa mowa kapena chiwawa, ndipo zimawonjezera kuphwanyika kwa ubale pakati pa anthu a m’banja komanso a m’dziko. Ubale wosweka, chiwawa chochuluka, ndi kugwirira, zapanga chipwando pakati pa anthu ambiri. Anthu ambiri amakhala mu mantha ochotsedwa, zoopsa kwa moyo wawo, chifukwa cha kusakhulupirira ndi mkwiyo. Ndikovuta kwambiri kuti anthu amenewa akhale ndi chikhumbo cholimbikitsa chikondi m’banja komanso mu dera.

Vukukhanye (Imani ndi Kuwala)

Malinga ndi Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (1954), zofunikira kwambiri kwa munthu ndi zakudya ndi pokhala. Zotsatira zake ndi zofunikira za chitetezo monga chitetezo chaumwini, zachuma, thanzi, ndi kupewa ngozi kapena matenda. Malangizo a Maslow akusonyeza kuti munthu sangalimbikitsidwe kukhazikitsa ubale ndi kumva kukhala mbali ya gulu pokhapokha akakhala atakwaniritsidwa zofunikira za chitetezo. Kafukufuku wathu wa m’munda wasonyeza kuti izi ndi zoona. Chaka chatha, tinakhazikitsa Vukukhanye (VUKU), msonkhano wa anthu m’madera osiyanasiyana kuti tibwezeretse ubale ndi kumanga gulu lothandizana. Tinayambitsa magulu m'madera atatu osiyanasiyana, ndipo gulu lililonse lidachita mosiyana. Ndifotokoza za Gulu A, B, ndi C.

Gulu A

Gulu A linali ndi anthu ambiri omwe ankavutika ndi zofunikira za m’thupi monga chakudya ndi malo ogona. Makhalidwe a mabanja mwa gulu lino anali osokonekera kwambiri. Linali ndi amayi achinyamata osakwatiwa, amuna opanda ntchito, ndi ana ambiri. Ena ankakhala m’nyumba zabanja, koma ankachotsedwa ngati sanafunikire pa ndalama. Ena mwa amayi osakwatiwa ankalephera kupereka chakudya kwa ana awo, pamene abale awo ankadyetsa ana awo okha. Anthu ambiri anabwera kumisonkhano yosakhalira nawo nthawi zonse, koma kungoti akaona zomwe zikuchitika. Ngakhale tinali ndi bwino polimbana ndi mavuto a m’mudzi monga kuchuluka kwa umbanda, tinalephera kumanga gulu lothandizana lokhala ndi chikondi. Zinkawoneka kuti ambiri ankakhala ndi chidwi chopempha thandizo kuchokera kwa omwe amawasamalira m'malo mokhazikitsa gulu lomwe angamukhulupirire.

Gulu B

Gulu B linali ndi mavuto ochepa pa zofunikira za thupi monga chakudya ndi malo ogona, koma linasowa chitetezo chandalama monga ntchito. Gulu limeneli linali lothandiza poyamba, koma lidakhumudwa ataona kuti palibe ntchito imene ingapezeke. Banja laing'ono lokha ndi limene lidatsegula mitima yawo kwa ife. Ngakhale tinachita bwino ndi mabanja ena, ena ambiri anakhumudwa pamene ntchito zomwe zidalonjezedwa sizinachitike.

Gulu C

Gulu C linali ndi anthu omwe ali ndi ntchito zokhazikika komanso mabanja okhazikika. Kwa gulu limeneli, zofunikira zoyamba ziwiri sizinali vuto, koma ankavutika ndi gawo lachitatu la zofunikira: ubale wa anthu ndi kumva ngati gawo la gulu. Iwo anali ndi chidwi chachikulu chokhala gawo la gulu lodzala ndi chikondi komanso kugwira ntchito limodzi kuti akulitse maubwenzi a m’gulu. Magulu awiri oyamba (A ndi B) akuyambiranso ndi njira zatsopano.

Kusamvana

Kafukufuku wathu awonetsa kuti anthu ambiri akudutsa mu mavuto a ubale wa anthu. Magulu onse atatu a VUKU anali ndi zovuta zokhudzana ndi ubale ndi kumva ngati gawo la gulu, koma monga momwe Maslow akunenera, Gulu C lokhalo linali ndi chidwi ndi chikhumbo cholimbikitsa gulu lolimba. Apa ndipamene kusamvana kumachitika. Vuto lapadera pano ndi loti zofunikira zachitetezo (zaumwini, zachuma, zaumoyo ndi chitetezo) ndi zenizeni komanso zokhazikika m'moyo wawo, ndipo zimagwirizana mwachindunji ndi kuwonongeka kwa ubale, osati kungoti chifukwa cha umphawi kapena matenda. Monga ndanenera kale, pamene anthu akukhala mwachisoni chifukwa cha kusowa chitetezo kunyumba kwawo, zimakhala zovuta kuti ayambe kupanga maubwenzi abwino ndi mabanja awo kapena anthu ena. Koma ngati kusowa chitetezo kumayamba chifukwa cha kusagwirizana kwa anthu, kodi angakwanitse bwanji kukwaniritsa chitetezo moyenera?

Pa nthawi ino, ndikufuna kugawana nanu zambiri zofunika zochokera mu gawo loyamba la kafukufuku. Anthu 19 anapereka mayankho olembedwa okhudza mmene moyo wawo unali (akwiyira kapena achisoni), ndipo 12 mwa iwo anatchula kusowa kwa ntchito ngati vuto lalikulu. Oposa 75% ananena kuti nthawi ya ubwana wawo inali yodzaza ndi nkhawa, mantha, ndi kusungulumwa, koma palibe amene ananena kuti izi zinachitika chifukwa cha kusowa ubale kapena kusakhala gawo la gulu. Mkazi m'modzi yekha ananena kuti, “Ndikufuna mwamuna,” zomwe zinali pafupi kwambiri ndi funso la gawo lachitatu la ubale. Komabe, kukhala ndi mwamuna kapena bwenzi ndiko njira yokhayo yopulumukira kwa akazi ndi atsikana ambiri chifukwa cha mimba za pa unyamata ndi kusowa ntchito.

Pali zifukwa zambiri zomwe zimapangitsa anthu kusakhala ndi chidwi chokonza ubale wawo ndi anthu ena kuposa zomwe Maslow adafotokozapo mu lingaliro lake. Mu chikhalidwe cha ku South Africa, Asangoma (aganga) amapereka njira zomveka bwino zothetsera zofunikira za chitetezo. Chithunzi ichi ndi chitsanzo cha zimene Asangoma amalonjeza kudzera mwa mphamvu za makolo. Pali Muti (mankhwala achikhalidwe) omwe amakhulupirira kuti amathandiza kuchiza matenda ndi kupereka chitetezo. Ngati mutaganizira kuti mwamuna ndi amene amapereka zofunikira za tsiku ndi tsiku komanso njira yokhayo yopulumukira kwa akazi ambiri, ndiye kuti zomwe Dr. Yamawa amapereka kwa odwala ake zimakwaniritsa zofunikira za chitetezo. Ndithudi, anthu amapembedza makolo awo ndi kuphika uMqobothi (mowa wachikhalidwe) pazifukwa zomwezo.

Mulungu Popanda Yesu

Tinalephera kumasulira ndi kulima chiyembekezo chokhudza kusintha kwa maubale a anthu ndi kumanga chikhalidwe cha kukhala gawo la Khristu. Chimodzi mwa zinthu zofunika kwambiri zomwe tinali kuyenera kuzimvetsa bwino ndi ulemu komanso kulemekeza makolo zomwe ndizofunikira kwambiri mu chikhalidwe cha ku Africa. Ndimakhulupirira kuti tinalephera kuthandiza mipingo ya ku Africa kulandira chikondi ndi chifundo, ngakhale iwo anaphunzira mwachibadwa kulemekeza Mulungu. Ndizowona kuti anthu ambiri a ku Africa amapeza chitonthozo ndi chiyembekezo mu chikondi chopereka cha Khristu, koma kumvetsa mozama chikondi chimenechi ndi kugawana nacho sizinafikepo pamilingo yoyenera. Ngati chikondi sichili chofunikira, kupembedza ndi kulemekeza Mulungu sikusiyana kwambiri ndi mwambo wawo wachikhalidwe wokwaniritsa zofunikira za chitetezo monga zaumwini, zachuma, thanzi ndi chitetezo ku ngozi. Makhulupiriro awo a zachikhalidwe sanasanduke kukhala chipembedzo cha Khristu — anangosunthidwa basi. Zimveka bwino kuti 64% ya omwe anayankha anati Muti ndi Mtanda ali ndi mphamvu zofanana, 86% sanafune kutsutsa mphamvu za miyambo ya makolo ndipo pafupifupi 99% amakonda kufunafuna malangizo achikhalidwe osati kuchokera m'Baibulo. Zinawoneka ngati tinali odalira kuwalimbikitsa kuti alemekeze Mulungu osati makolo awo m'malo mowawonetsera mphamvu ya chikondi ndi chifundo cha Khristu.

Khristu M'njira Yatsopano

Kuyambira mu 2016, tinayambitsa utumiki wotchedwa Vukukhanye (VUKU). Ndi msonkhano wa mabanja ndi anthu a m’mudzi uliwonse wogawana chikondi cha Yesu ndi kuchigwiritsa ntchito. Tinatenga pafupifupi chaka chimodzi kuti tipeze njira yoyenera. Potsatira cholinga chowonetsera Yesu mwatsopano, tinachotsa mapemphero ndi nyimbo zachikhalidwe kuti atuluke mu malingaliro okha olemekeza Mulungu. Tinakumana ndi milandu yambiri ya kugwiriridwa, ogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo ndi osuta mowa kuposa kale, chifukwa cha maubwenzi apamtima omwe tinamanga ndi mamembala. Tinkatenga zovuta izi ngati nkhani ya ubale osati vuto lokha. Tinagwiritsa ntchito maphunziro a m’Baibulo kutsegula mitima ya osauka ndi mabanja awo. Sinali nkhani yothetsera mavuto mwachangu, koma tinakweza kumvetsana ndi chikondi. Sinali ulendo wosavuta — tinakumana ndi zopinga zambiri. Mamembala ambiri sanachionepo chikondi chitha kulimbana ndi mavuto, choncho ayenera kuphunzira kukhulupirira njira yathu. Monga okondedwa a wina ndi mzake, tikumanga mabanja kumene mfundo za Ambuye zikuyamikiridwa osati kugwiritsidwa ntchito molakwika. Tsopano tikuwona anthu abwino omwe ankakhala chete akuyamba kuyima, ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku tikuthandizana ndi kulimbikitsana.

Kuti ayembekezere mwa Khristu

Nthawi yakwana yoti tisinthe. Sikuti zomwe tingathe kuchita ndi mphamvu zathu, koma zomwe zikufunika. Tiyenera kumva kulira kwawo ndi kumva ululu wawo. Nthawi yakwana yoti tikhale abale, alongo, ndi makolo — tikulowetsa mitima yathu ndi miyoyo yawo popanda kuwaweruza. Yesu sanawabweretse kwa ife, koma watitumiza ife mu mitima yawo yophwanyika. Tili ndi udindo woti tiwathandize ndi kuwachiritsa pogwiritsa ntchito chikondi chenicheni chomwe chidzamera ndi kuthira m’miyoyo yawo kosatha. Kuti ayembekezere mwa Khristu.
