Iwo akhanyindira mphambvu za Yahova. Bhibhlya isalonga kuti Mulungu ‘asapasa mphambvu anthu akuneta.’ (Izaiya 40:29) Mwakutsukwalisa, lero atumiki anango a Mulungu asaona kuti njira yadidi toera kupirira nyatwa zinathimbana na iwo ndi kusiya kutumikira Yahova. Iwo asapibva kuti kutumikira Yahova ndi ntolo m’mbuto mwakuona ninga mwai. Natenepa iwo asasiya kuleri Bhibhlya, kugumanika pa misonkhano na kumwaza mphangwa. Pyenepi ndi pinafuna Sathani kwa iwo.

(Mateo 10:30) Yahova asafuna tidziwe kuti iye ‘asadziwa nyatwa zonsene zinathimbana na munthu wakulungama.’ (Masalmo 37:18) Mwandimomwene, Yahova asaona nyatwa zonsene zinathimbana na imwe, pontho iye anakwanisa kukupasani mphambvu toera kupirira nyatwa zenezi.

5. Tisadziwa tani kuti Yahova anakwanisa kutipasa mphambvu?

Goli yanga ndi yakukhonda nentsa, pontho pinakuphembani ine toera kukwata ndi pyakululupa.’ (Mateo 11:​28-​30) Pyenepi ndimomwenedi!

Iye aimba: ‘Na ciphedzo canu ndinakwanisa kuthamangisa anyamalwanga; na mphambvu za Mulungu ndinakwanisa kunumpha mpanda.’ (Masalmo 18:29) Ninga mpanda wakulapha wakuti nkhabe kwanisika kuunumpha, midzidzi inango nyatwa zathu ndi zikulu kakamwe zakuti nee tinakwanisa kuzimalisa tekha. Natenepa tisafunika ciphedzo ca Yahova.

Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, pidapambizirwa Zuze kuti akhafuna kupita m’mabonde na nkazi wa Putifare mbaikhwa n’kaidi, Yahova nee apingiza toera pyenepi pikhonde kucitika. Kodi Mulungu akhadasiya Zuze?

Iye ‘nee asatitsalakana mwakubverana na madawo athu,’ mbwenye asatilekerera. (Masalmo 103:10) Kucalira kuipirwa na kukoya pinthu muntima kunatiphedza toera kukhala na ungumi wadidi. Mwacitsandzo, kuipirwa kusacitisa kuti ciropa cikhonde kufamba mwadidi na kukhonda puma mwadidi. Kuipirwa kunacitisambo munthu kukhala na utenda wa pâncreas na wa fafa.

¹⁷ Anango adacita madawo makulu asapibva kuti nee athema kutumikira Yahova.  Mabvero anewa anaticitisa kuluza ntendere, kutsandzaya na mphambvu zathu. Mambo Dhavidhi akhathimbana na mabvero akupasika mulando mbalonga: ‘Pikhakhonda ine kubweka madawo anga, magogodo anga akhadamala mphambvu thangwi yakulira ntsiku zonsene.

Iye alemba: ‘Pakumalisa ndabweka madawo anga, pontho mwandilekerera madodo na madawo anga.’ (Masalmo 32:3-5) Khala mwacita madawo makulu, Yahova ali dzololo toera kukulekererani. Iye asafuna kukuphedzani kusasanyira pontho uxamwali wanu na iye. Mbwenye musafunika kutawira ciphedzo cinapereka iye kubulukira kwa akulu a mpingo.
