Kodi moyo womwe mumakonda mdziko lino lapansi, kapena uli mwa Khristu?

Agriki ena omwe adabwera kudzapembedza pa chikondwerero cha Paskha adauza Filipo kuti akufuna kuwona Yesu. Filipo anauza Andireya, iwonso nawonso anauza Yesu. Yesu adayankha iwo, “'Nthawi yafika yakuti Mwana wa Munthu alemekezedwe. Indetu, indetu, ndinena ndi inu, Ngati mbewu ya tirigu siigwa m'nthaka, nifa, imakhala yokha; koma ikafa, ibala tirigu wambiri. Iye wokonda moyo wake adzawutaya; ndipo wodana ndi moyo wake m'dziko lino lapansi adzausungira ku moyo wosatha. Ngati wina anditumikira Ine, anditsate; ndipo kumene kuli Ine, komwekonso kudzakhala mtumiki wanga. Ngati wina anditumikira Ine, Atate wanga adzamlemekeza. '” (Yohane 12: 23b-26)

Yesu amalankhula za kupachikidwa kwake komwe kumayandikira. Iye anali atabwera kudzafa. Anabwera kudzalipira moyo wosatha wa machimo athu - "Chifukwa adampanga Iye wosadziwa chimo kuti akhale uchimo m'malo mwathu, kuti ife tikakhale chilungamo cha Mulungu mwa Iye." (2 Akor. 5: 21); "Khristu anatiwombola ku temberero la chilamulo, atakhala temberero m'malo mwathu (pakuti kwalembedwa, Wotembereredwa ali yense wopachikidwa pamtengo") kuti dalitso la Abrahamu likadze pa amitundu mwa Khristu Yesu, kuti tikhoza kulandira lonjezano la Mzimu mwa chikhulupiriro. ” (Agal. 3: 13-14) Yesu adzalemekezedwa. Anakwaniritsa chifuniro cha Atate Ake. Amatsegula khomo lokhalo lomwe munthu amatha kuyanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu. Nsembe ya Yesu idzasanduliza mpando wachiweruzo wa Mulungu kukhala mpando wachisomo kwa iwo amene amamukhulupirira - "Chifukwa chake, abale, polimba mtima kulowa oyera koposa ndi magazi a Yesu, mwa njira yatsopano ndi yamoyo yomwe Iye adadziyeretsa ife, kudzera mwa chotchinga, ndiko kuti, mnofu wake, komanso wokhala naye Wansembe Wankulu panyumba ya Mulungu, tiyandikire ndi mtima woona, tili ndi chikhulupiriro chonse, kuti mitima yathu itawazidwa chifukwa cha chikumbumtima choyipa ndi matupi athu osambitsidwa ndi madzi oyera. ” (Ahe. 10: 19-22)

Kodi Yesu amatanthauzanji pamene anati 'Iye wokonda moyo wake adzawutaya, ndipo iye wodana ndi moyo wake m'dziko lino adzausungira ku moyo wosatha'? Kodi moyo wathu 'm'dziko lino lapansi' umaphatikizapo chiyani? Talingalirani momwe CI Scofield amafotokozera 'dongosolo lamakono lilipoli' - "Dongosolo kapena dongosolo lomwe Satana wakonza dziko lapansi la anthu osakhulupirira pogwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zake zakumwamba, zamadyedwe, zadyera, zokhumba komanso zosangalatsa. Dongosolo lapadziko lino lapansi limakhazikika komanso lamphamvu ndi nkhondo; nthawi zambiri zimakhala kunja, zachipembedzo, zasayansi, zopatsa chidwi, komanso zokongola; koma, powona mipikisano ya mayiko ndi yamalonda ndi zokhumba, zimapezekanso m'mavuto aliwonse okhala ndi zida zankhondo, ndipo zimayendetsedwa ndi mfundo zausatana. ” (1734.Chombo) Yesu ananena momveka bwino kuti ufumu wake suli wapadziko lino lapansi (Yowanu 18: 36). Yohane analemba - “Musakonde dziko lapansi, kapena za m'dziko lapansi. Ngati wina akonda dziko lapansi, chikondi cha Atate sichili mwa iye. Mwa zonse za m'dziko lapansi - kusilira thupi, kusilira kwa maso, kunyada kwa moyo - sizachokera kwa Atate koma kudziko lapansi. Ndipo dziko lapansi lipita, ndi kulakalaka kwake; koma iye amene achita chifuniro cha Mulungu akhala ku nthawi yonse. ” (1 Yoh. 2: 15-17)

Umodzi wa uthenga wabodza wokondedwa kwambiri wa satana lero ndi uthenga wabwino. Yafalikira kwa zaka zambiri; makamaka popeza televangelism idakhala yotchuka kwambiri. Oral Roberts, monga m'busa wachinyamata, adanena kuti ali ndi vumbulutso pomwe Baibulo lake lidatsegulidwa tsiku lina vesi lachiwiri m'buku lachitatu la John. Vesili lidati - "Wokondedwa, ndikupemphera kuti muchite bwino mu zonse ndi kukhala ndi thanzi, monga mzimu wanu ukule." Poyankha, adagula Buick ndikunena kuti akumva kuti Mulungu amuuza kuti akachiritse anthu. Pamapeto pake amadzakhala mtsogoleri wa gulu lachipembedzo chojambula mu madola 120 miliyoni pachaka, kugwiritsa ntchito anthu 2,300.ⁱ Kenneth Copeland adapita ku yunivesite ya Oral Robert, pambuyo pake kukhala woyendetsa ndege komanso woyendetsa galimoto wa Robert. Utumiki wa Copeland tsopano umalemba anthu opitilira 500, ndipo chaka chilichonse amatenga madola mamiliyoni makumi.ⁱⁱ Joel Osteen adapitanso ku yunivesite ya Oral Robert, ndipo tsopano akulamulira ufumu wake wachipembedzo; kuphatikiza tchalitchi chopezekapo 40,000, komanso bajeti yapachaka ya $ 70 miliyoni. Mtengo wake wonse akuti ukupitilira $ 56 miliyoni. Iye ndi mkazi wake amakhala m'nyumba yoposa madola 10 miliyoni.ⁱⁱⁱ Bungwe loyimira pawokha lakhazikitsidwa kuti lifufuze za kusowa kwa mlandu wa magulu azipembedzo omwe samachotsa msonkho. Izi ndi zomwe Senator Chuck Grassley akutsogolera pakufufuza kwa alaliki sikisitini opititsa patsogolo kuphatikiza atolankhani kuphatikizapo a Kenneth Copeland, Bishop Eddie Long, Paula White, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyers, ndi a Creflo Dollar. ^iv

Kate Bowler, pulofesa wa Duke komanso wolemba mbiri yachitukuko akuti "Nkhani yakuza bwino ndikhulupilira kuti Mulungu amapereka thanzi ndi chuma kwa iwo omwe ali ndi chikhulupiriro cholondola." Posachedwa adasindikiza buku lotchedwa wodala, patatha zaka khumi akufunsa mafunso pa TV. Iye akuti alaliki otukuka awa “Njira za uzimu za momwe mungapezere ndalama zodabwitsa za Mulungu.” ^v Nkhani yachitukuko ikukhudza anthu padziko lonse lapansi, makamaka ku Africa ndi South Korea.^vi Mu 2014, loya wamkulu wa Kenya adaletsa mipingo yatsopano kukhazikitsidwa chifukwa cha a “Kubodza kozizwitsa” kufalikira. Chaka chino chokha, adati akufuna malipoti atsopano kuphatikiza; zofunika zocheperako zaumulungu kwa abusa, zofunikira kukhala mamembala amatchalitchi, ndi kayendetsedwe ka mabungwe a ambulera m'matchalitchi onse. Purezidenti wa Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, adakana pempholi atakwiya ndi a Evangelicals, Asilamu, ndi Akatolika ku Kenya. Daily Nation, imodzi mwa nyuzipepala zodziwika bwino ku Kenya idatcha zoyesayesa za loya wamkulu “Panthawi yake,” chifukwa "Mwa kugulitsa zozizwitsa zabodza komanso kudzera mu ulaliki womwe umalonjeza kutukuka kwa mamembala, atsogoleri achipembedzo opembedza awa adzifufuza motsata ndikuzunza gulu lawo mwankhanza kuti apeze chuma."^vii

Talingalirani uphungu umene Paulo adapatsa mbusa wachinyamata Timoteo - “Tsopano umulungu ndi kukhutira ndi phindu lalikulu. Chifukwa sitinatenge kanthu mdziko lapansi, ndipo sitikupeza kanthu. Ndipo pokhala nazo zakudya ndi zovala, izi tidzakhuta nazo. Koma iwo amene akufuna kukhala achuma amagwa m'chiyesero ndi mumsampha, ndi m'zilakolako zambiri zopusa ndi zoyipa zomwe zimamiza anthu m'chiwonongeko ndi chitayiko. Kukonda ndalama ndi muzu wa zoyipa zamitundu yonse, pomwe ena adasiya chikhulupiriro chawo mwadyera, nadzipyoza ndi zowawa zambiri. ” (1 Tim. 6:6-10Poganizira zinthu zadziko lapansi lino, onani momwe Satana adagwiritsira ntchito kuyesa Yesu - “Ndiponso, mdierekezi anamutenga Iye, nakwera naye pa phiri lalitali kwambiri, namuwonetsa Iye maufumu onse a dziko lapansi, ndi ulemerero wawo. Ndipo anati kwa Iye, Zinthu zonsezi ndikupatsani Inu, ngati mudzagwa pansi, nimundipembedza. (Mateyu 4: 8-9) Uthenga wabwino wa Yesu Khristu ndi uthenga wabwino sizabwino. Nkhani yakuyenda bwino ikukhala ngati yesero lomwe satana adapereka kwa Yesu. Yesu sanalonjeze kuti iwo omwe amamutsata iye adzakhala olemera machitidwe adziko lapansi; M'malo mwake, adalonjeza kuti iwo omwe amamutsata azunzidwa ndi kuzunzidwa (John 15: 18-20). Ngati Yesu akadapempha alaliki olemera masiku ano kuti achite zomwe adapempha wolamulira wachinyamata wachuma uja kuti achite… kodi iwo atha kuzichita? Kodi mungatero?
