‘Ochuluka mu Ntchito’

Akulu achikristu amaikizidwa maudindo ambiri. (Luka 12:48) Amakonzekera nkhani zokakamba pa nthaŵi ya misonkhano ya mpingo ndiponso amapita nawo kokalalikira uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu wa Mulungu. Ntchito yawo imaphatikizaponso kupanga ulendo wa ubusa kwa okhulupirira anzawo.

(Yobu 29:12-15; 1Timoteo 3:4, 5; 5:8) Akulu ena amathandiza pa ntchito yomanga nawo Nyumba za Ufumu. Ena amatumikira m’Makomiti Olankhula ndi Achipatala kapena ali m’Magulu Ozonda Odwala. Ndipo ambiri amagwira ntchito yongodzipereka pa misonkhano ikuluikulu. Inde, akulu alidi ndi ‘zochuluka mu ntchito ya Ambuye.’ (1 Akorinto 15:58) Ndiyetu m’posadabwitsa kuti akulu otere amayamikiridwa kwambiri ndi anthu amene amawasamalirawo.​—1 Atesalonika 5:12, 13.

Achinyamata ambiri amene analeredwa m’banja la kholo limodzi amavomereza kuti thandizo limene anapeza kuchokera kwa akulu linawathandiza kukulitsa unansi wawo ndi Mulungu.

Sitidzaiŵala mawu anu olimbikitsa.” Mkazi wina wamasiye wa zaka 70 analembera akulu kuti: “Ndakhala ndikupemphera kwa Yehova kuti andithandize, ndipo anatumiza abale inu aŵiri ku nyumba yanga. Ulendo wanu unali dalitso lochokera kwa Yehova.” Kodi inuyo mwapindula ndi ulendo waubusa wa akulu mu mpingo wanu posachedwapa? Inde, tonsefe timayamikira khama la akulu poweta gulu limene akuliyang’anira.
