Abrahama ndiye baba veavo vose vanotenda (ona VaRoma 4:11–12). Nemamwe mashoko, upenyu hwake nokutenda kwake muenzaniso kuvatendi vose. Ndinotenda kuti zvinodiwa naMwari kune mumwe nemumwe wedu zvinotaurwa mumashoko iwayo kuna Abrahama, “Famba pamberi pangu uve [wakakwana] uye ndichaita sungano yangu pakati pangu newe, uye ndichakuwanza zvikurusa.”

Tose tiri kusvika pakupedzwa kwechinangwa chaMwari chemakore. Uye shoko raMwari kumunhu wose achatora nzvimbo yake mune zviri kuitwa naMwari nderokuti, “Famba pamberi pangu uye uve wakakwana.”

Mubhuku raJobho tinowana mumwe murume aiva nemwoyo wakakwana kuna Mwari. Shamwari dzaJobho hadzina kunyanyotaura nezvake, asi ini ndinonyanya kufarira zvakataurwa naIshe nezvaJobho:

“Wacherekedza muranda wangu Jobho here, kuti hapana akafanana naye panyika, munhu asina chaangapomerwa [akakwana], akarurama, anotya Mwari uye achinzvenga zvakaipa?” ( Jobho 1:8 )

Saka tinogona kutaura kuti kukwana kuna Mwari kunosanganisira . Hapana kusarerekera mukukwana kuna Mwari. Iwe haubvumirani nechinhu chisingafadzi kwaAri; wakazvipira zvachose kuteerera—zvisinei nokuti zvinodhura. Uye yeuchidzwa, kunoda chimwe chinhu kuti munhu atenderwe naMwari!

Kana tikaverenga mabhuku eMadzimambo naMakoronike, tinoona kuti madzimambo ainyanya kuongororwa kana mwoyo yavo yakanga yakakwana kuna Mwari kana kuti kwete. Pamusoro paAsa, Jehoshafati, Hezekia, uye vamwe, zvinonzi vaiva nemwoyo wakakwana kuna Mwari. Asi muenzaniso mukuru wemunhu aive nemoyo wakaperera kuna Mwari aive David. Akanga ari tsvimbo yokuyeresa yaishorwa mamwe madzimambo.

Ramba uchiziva kuti hatisi kutaura nezvemwoyo wakakwana, asi mwoyo wakakwana kuna Mwari. Dhavhidhi akanga asina kukwana mutsika nguva dzose. Sezvaunoziva, akaita upombwe. Kunyange zvazvo Rugwaro rusingatenderi upombwe, harutauri pano pamusoro pokukwana kwetsika; asi, riri kutaura nezvemaonero aDhavhidhi kuna Mwari.

Muna Ekisodho 20:1–3 tinowana chinodiwa chekutanga chekuva nemoyo wakakwana kuna Mwari. “Zvino Mwari akataura mashoko aya ose, akati, “Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa munyika yeIjipiti, muimba youranda. Usava navamwe vamwari kunze kwangu. Kuva akakwana kuna Mwari zvinoreva kuti munhu haana vamwe vamwari kunze kwake. Nhau chaiyoiyo nokuda kwaDhavhidhi, uye nokuda kwedu, “Mwari wako ndiani?”

Mubvunzo wakafanana uyu, “mwari wako ndiani?” akaiswazve pamberi pavaIsraeri naMosesi muna Dheuteronomio, nguva pfupi vasati vapinda munyika yechipikirwa. Mhinduro yavo kwairi yakaronga magumo ehupenyu hwavo. Gare gare, apo Mweya Mutsvene wakawira pana Israeri pachibayiro chaEria paGomo reKarimeri, chavaingoda kutaura chaiva chokuti, “Jehovha, ndiye Mwari” (1 Madzimambo 18:39). Paunokwanisa kutaura izvozvo—unogona kuva nezvinetso, kukanganisa, kana kutoita zvivi—asi uchabuda uri pamusoro.

Izvi zvinotisvitsa padanho rekuongorora pachedu maererano nemubvunzo wekutanga uyu. Tinofanira kuzvibvunza kuti, “Tinoziva sei kuti Mwari wedu ndiani?” Muna Genesi 31, Jakobho, achitaura naRabhani, akati, “Washandura mubayiro wangu kagumi.” Asi Mwari haana kumubvumira kuti aende. Akaenderera mberi achiti, “Kudai Mwari wababa vangu, Mwari waAbrahamu, nekutya kwaIsaka, asaiva neni, zvirokwazvo ikozvino mungadai maindiendesa ndisina chinhu” (ndima. 42). Cherekedza mutauro wacho—“Mwari waAbrahama, uye Kutya kwaIsaka.” Jakobho akashandisa rondedzero yokuti “Kutya Isaka” paakataura nezvaMwari waIsaka. Muchidimbu, zvino, chero chaunotya ndiye mwari wako!

Vamwe vanhu vanoita gomarara mwari wavo. Vanotya cancer zvekuti vanoitya kupfuura kutya Mwari. Saizvozvovo, vanhu vanonzvera huroyi, kuuka uye kun'anga vanopinda pasi pehusungwa hukuru hwekutya kune aya masimba aSatani zvekuti vanova mwari wavo. Hapana chandinoda kutya kunze kwaMwari waAbrahama, Isaka naJakobho! Kana munhu achitya Mwari zvechokwadi, ndizvo zvaanofanira kutya muupenyu.

Kutsanangura Kutya Jehovha

Pakutsanangura kutya Tenzi ndinoda kutanga ndaratidza mhando ina dzekutya kusiri kutya Jehovha.

1. Kutya kwepanyama

Mune mamwe mamiriro ezvinhu zvakajairika kutya. Somuenzaniso, munhu ari kutyaira mumugwagwa mukuru uye anoputika. Motokari yakabuda mumugwagwa ichipinda mugoronga. Iko mhinduro yemusikirwo kusangana nekutya mumamiriro ezvinhu aya. Hakusi kutya Jehovha, asi hakuna kuipa. Chaizvoizvo, rudzi urwu rwekutya runodzivirira. Kutya uye kurwadziwa zvinhu zviviri izvo Mwari akaisa mukati memunhu kuti amudzivirire. Kana ukaisa ruoko rwako mumvura inopisa, kurwadziwa kwaunonzwa kunoita kuti uikweva. Dai pasina kurwadziwa, ruoko rwako rwaizopiswa nemvura. Saka kune marwadzo echisikigo uye kune kutya kwechisikigo kunova nzira dzekudzivirira dzaMwari.

2. Kutya dhimoni

Timoti Wechipiri 1:7 inoti, “Mwari haana kutipa mweya wekutya.” Mucherechedzo womudzimu iwoyo unotaurwa pana 1 Johane 4:18 , “Kutya kunobatanidza kurwadziswa.” Dhimoni rekutya rinotambudza; kutya Jehovha hakutambudzi.

3. Kutya kwechitendero

Kutya kwerudzi urwu ndiko kunodzidziswa nemunhu. Isaya 29:13 inoti, “Naizvozvo Jehovha akati: ‘Vanhu ava zvavanoswedera kwandiri nemiromo yavo, vachindikudza nemiromo yavo, vakaisa mwoyo yavo kure neni, nokunditya kwavo kunodzidziswa nomurayiro. dzevanhu.’” Ndakava nerutyo rwakadaro kwemakore. Imhando yekutya inozivikanwa kune vazhinji vedu takakurira mumakereke. Kutya kuita zvinhu zvisiri izvo zvechitendero. Tinodzidziswa kudavira kuti rudzi rwakati rwomufambiro rwakafanira kuchechi, uye rumwe rudzi haruna. Somuenzaniso, kwemakore ndaifunga kuti chaiva chivi kukosora kana kutaura zvinonzwika kana kuratidza kufara chero kupi zvako muchechi!

Umwe hunhu hwekutya chitendero ndechekuti inoda kuchengetedza chimiro chiripo. Jesu akatsiura vatungamiriri vezvitendero vemunguva yake nekuti vakaramba kubvuma zvaiitwa naMwari pakati pavo. Vaitya kuchinja kwemaitiro avo.

4. Kutya munhu

Kutya kwerudzi urwu kunowanikwa muna Zvirevo 29:25. “Kutya munhu kunouyisa musungo, asi ani naani anovimba naJehovha achachengetwa.” Cherechedza musiyano: Kana uchitya munhu, hauvimbi naJehovha; kana uchivimba naJehovha, haufaniri kutya munhu. “Kutya munhu kunouyisa musungo.”

Kazhinji, vashumiri vanouya kwandiri vachiti, “Hama Prince, ndinobhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene. Ini kunyange ndine zvipo zveMweya, asi neimwe nzira ndakasungwa. Uye ndinopindura, “Zvimwe kutya munhu! Iwe unotya izvo bhodhi rako richataura; zvichafungei sinodhi yenyu; zvichaitwa nemukuru wenyu; zvichataurwa nenhengo dzenyu.” Petro akati: “Tinofanira kuteerera Mwari kupfuura vanhu.”— Mabasa 5:29 . Uko kune chisarudzo chakajeka pakati pokuteerera Mwari nomunhu, chisarudzo chakatoitwa nokuda kwedu muShoko raMwari. Isu hatina kana dambudziko. Sokuona kwangu, vanosvika makumi mashanu muzana muzana vavanhu vaMwari nhasi havana kusununguka zvizere nemhaka yokuti vachiri kusungwa nokutya munhu.

Taona kuti kutya kwepanyama, kutya kwemadhimoni, kutya kwechitendero, uye kutya munhu marudzi mana ekutya kusiri kutya Jehovha. Mutsamba yangu inotevera, tichakurukura kuti kutya Jehovha chii.

Mweya waJehovha unofamba-famba panyika yose nokuda kwomumwe munhu, uyo ane mwoyo wakarurama kwazvo kuna Mwari. Pose apo Mweya Mutsvene unowana munhu akadaro, Mwari anofarira kuzviratidza Iye amene akasimba nokuda kwake, achipa kuratidzirwa kwakazaruka kwesimba Rake netendero muupenyu hwomunhu iyeyo nomuushumiri. Akamirira kufamba pachena musimba nemukuropafadza.

Vanhu vaviri muRugwaro vanotaurwa nezvavo kuti vaive nemoyo yakadai ndiAbrahama naJobho. Muna Genesi 17:1 tinowana iyi denho yakapiwa kuna Abrahama:
