CHITSAUKO 40—VANHU VAMWARI VANODZIKINURWA

Kana kudzivirira kwemirairo yevanhu kwabviswa pavanhu vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari, kuchamuka munzvimbo zhinji, mweya wekuda kuvaparadza nenguva imwechete. Apo nguva yakatarwa inoswedera, vanhu vacharangana kuparadza kapoka kanovengwa aka, kanonamata zvakasiyana neruzhinji. Kuchagadirirwa kuvawira nekuvaparadza nehusiku humwechete, kunyaradza zvachose izwi iri rinotsiura nekutaura zvakasiyana nevamwe. KK 379.1

Vanhu vaMwari-vamwe varimumatirongo, vamwe vakavanda munzvimbo dzemumasango nemumakomo-vachingoramba vachikumbira kudzivirirwa naMwari, kose kose mapoka evarume akapakatira zvombo zvekurwisa nazvo, vachikurudzirwa nevatumwa vakaipa vachigadzirira basa rekuvuraya. Ndipo panguva iyi, yekutambudzika kwekupedzisira, apo Mwari waIsraeri achapindira kuti adzikinure vanhu vaakasanangura. Ndizvo zvinotuara Jehova: “Muchaimba rwiyo, sezvinoitwa usiku kana mutambo mutsvene uchitambwa; muchava nekufara kwemwoyo, wakafanana newemunhu anoenda kugomo raJehova, kudombo raIsraeri. Jehova achanzwisa inzwi rake reumambo, acharatidza kuburuka kweruoko rwake, nekutsamwa kwake kukuru, nemurazvo wemoto unopedza zvose, nechamupupuri, nekunaya kukuru kwemvura, nechimvuramabwe.” Isaya 30: 29,30.KK 379.2

Nekudaidzira kwekukurira, kuseka nekushora , mapoka evakaipa avekuda kuwira pamusoro pevatsvene, ipapo ndipo pachavonekwa gore rakasviba kwazvo, rakasviba kupfuvura kusviba kwevusiku, rinowira pamusoro penyika. Zvino muraravungu, unopenya nekuda kwekubwinya kunobva pachigaro chaMwari, unozadza denga, uchiita sekutenderedza chipoka chimwe nechimwe chevatsvene vose vari kunamata. Mapoka evanhu vakatsamwa vaya anokaruka amiswa. Mhere mhere yavo yekushora nekutuka inopera. Vanokanganwa mhandu dzavo. Nekutya kukuru vanotarisa chiratidzo chesungano yaMwari, nekutsvaka kudzivirirwa kubva kusimba rekubwinya kukuru kwacho.KK 379.3

Kuvanhu vaMwari kunonzvikwa izwi kudaidzira nekuimba rinoti, “Tarirai kumusoro,” ivo pavanotarira kumusoro, vanovona murarawungu wechitsidzo. Gore dema rakashatirwa ranga rakaputira nyika rinobviswa, saStefani vanotarisa kudenga, vanovona kubwinya kwaMwari, neMwanakomana weMunhu akagara pachigaro. Muchimiro chake chitsvene vanovona zviratidzo zvekuninipiswa kwake, uye kubva mumuromo make vanonzwa chikumbiro, chichienda kubaBaba nevatumwa vatsvene, “Ndinokumbira kuti avo vamakandipa, vave neni pandiri. Johane 17:24.KK 379.4

Inzwi rinotapira rinenge mumhanzi rakanzwikwazve richiti: “Varikuuya! Varikuuya! Vatsvene, vasina chakaipa, vasina chavanopomerwa, vasina tsvina. Vakachengeta shoko rekutsungirira kwangu; vachafamba pakati pevatumwa.” Nemiromo inekutya yeavo vakabatirira kutenda, vanoshevedzera kukurira kwavo.KK 379.5

Pakati pevusiku apo Mwari paanodaidzira simba rake rekudzikinura vanhu vake. Zuva rinobva rabuda, richipenya nesimba raro rose. Zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvoteverana nekukurumidza. Vakaipa votarisa nekutya nekushamisika kuzviitiko izvi, asi vakarurama vachitarisa nemufaro mutsvene zviratidzo zvekudzikinurwa kwavo. Zvinhu zvose zvinoita sezvabva pamasikirwe azvo. Hova dzinomira kuerera. Makore akakora akasviba anosimuka, achibonderana zvinesimba. Pakati pekushatirwa kwematenga kunovonekwa nzvimbo imwe chete ine kupenya kusingatsananguriki, umo munobva inzwi raMwari richitinhira semvura zhinji richiti, “Zvapera.” Zvakazarurwa 16:17, 18.KK 380.1

Inzwi iri rinozunguza matenga nenyika. Kunoitika kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru kwazvo, “kusati kwakamboitika kwakadaro kubvira pakusikwa kwevanhu panyika, kwakakura kura kwazvo.” Zvakazarurwa 16:17,18. Muchadenga munoita semunovhurika muchivharika. Kubwinya kunobva pachigaro chaMwari kunoita sekunobuda naipapo. Makomo anozunguzwa sezvinoitwa rutsanga nemhepo, nematombo akatsemuka akakandwa kose kose. Kune kutinhira sekwe dutu guru rinovuya. Gungwa rinomutswa nehasha. Kunonzwikwa kurira kwemhepo inemvura zvinji, seizwi remadhimoni arikuenda kunoparadza. Nyika yose inosimuka mudenga ichidzika ichizvimba semafungu egungwa. Pamusoro penyika pachitsemuka tsemuka. Nheyo dzayo dzinoita sedzaparara. Makomo makuru anonyura. Zvitsuwa zvaigarwa nevanhu zvinoshaikwa. Nzvimbo dzaisvikira zvikepe zvikuru dzakanga dzave seSodoma pakuita zvakaipa, dzinomedzwa nemvura yakashatirwa. Babironi yekare yarangarirwa naMwari, “kuti ripiwe mukombe wewaini yekutsamwa kwehasha dzake.” Zvakazarurwa 16:19, 21. Chimvura mambwe chikuru kwazvo, “kurema kwebwe rimwe nerimwe kukaita setarenta” chichiita basa racho rekuparadza. Maguta aizvikudza zvikuru panyika anodzikiswa. Mizinda yemadzishe umo vakakudzwa venyika ino vakadirira pfuma yavo zhinji kuti vazvifadze nekuzviwanira mbiri inowisirwa pasi pameso avo chaipo. Madziro emajere anokandirwa pasi, vanhu vaMwari vakanga vakasungwa nekuda kwekutenda kwavo vanosunungurwa.KK 380.2

Makuva anozaruka, …“vazhinji vevavete muguruva repasi vachamuka…, vamwe kuvupenyu husingaperi, vamwe kukunyadziswa nekuzvidzwa kusingaperi.” Danieri 12:2. Vose vakafira mukutenda kwekuparidzwa kweshoko remutumwa wechitatu vanomuka kubva mumakuva vapfekedzwa kubwinya, kuti vanzwe chitsidzo chaMwari cherugare kune avo vakachengeta mutemo wake. “Naivo vakamubaya,” (Zvakazarurwa 1:7) avo vakaseka nekushora kutambudzika nekufa kwake Kristu, nevaipikisa chokwadi chake nevanhu vake zvakanyanyisa, vanomutswa kuti vamuvone ari mukubwinya kwake, kuti vavone kukudzwa kunenge kwaiswa pamusoro pevakaterera nevakazviisa pasi paMwari. KK 380.3

Makore akakora achiri mudenga, asi zuva zvino rinoita richibuda pano nepapo, richiita seziso raJehova rekudzorera. Mheni dzinotyisa dzinosvetuka kubva kudenga, dzichiputira nyika yose murimi remoto. Pamusoro pekutinhira kukuru kunotyisa, manzwi asina kujairika anotyisa anodaidzira kuparara kwevakaipa. Mazwi anotuarwa aya haanzwikwi nevanhu vose, asi anonzwikwa zvajeka kwazvo nevadzidzisi venhema. Avo munguva duku yakapfuvura vakanga vasina hanya, vachizvikudza nekuramba murairo, vakaita hutsinye hunotyisa kwazvo kuvanhu vanochengeta murairo waMwari, vawirwa zvino nekupererwa nekutya kukuru. Kuwungudza kwavo kunonzvikwa pamusoro peruzha rwezvimwe zvose. Madhimoni anobvuma huMwari hwaKristu, achidedera pamberi pesimba rake, vanhu vachikumbira tsitsi, vachigwesha mukutya.KK 380.4

Vakadaro vaprofita vekare, pavaitarisa zuva iri raMwari mumuvono, “Chemai, nekuti zuva raJehova riri pedyo; rinosvika sekuparadza kunobva kune weMasimbaose.” Isaya 13:6. “Pinda mudombo uvande,muguruva, nekuda kwaJehova anotyisa, uye nekuda kwekubwinya kweumambo hwake. Kuzvikudza kwevanhu kuchaderedzwa, nemanyawi evanhu achaninipiswa, Jehova oga achakudzwa nezuva iro. Nekuti Jehova wehondo ane zuva rake pamusoro pavose vanodada nevanozvikudza, nevane manyawi; vachaderedzwa.” “Nezuva iro vanhu vacharasa zvifananidzo zvavo zvesiriva nezvifananidzo zvavo zvendarama, zvavakazviitira kuti vazvinamate, vachizviisa kunhukusa nezviremwaremwa; vapinde mumapako ematombo, nemumikaha yematombo makuru, nekuda kwaJehova anotyisa, uye nekuda kwekubwinya kweumambo hwake, kana achisimuka kuzunungusa nyika nesimba.” Isaya 2 : 10-12; 20-21.KK 381.1

Nepakati pemukaha wemumakore, kunobuda nyeredzi inopenya kupenya kwayo kunokura kakapetwa runa zvichienzaniswa nerima rinenge ririko. Inotaura tariro nerufaro kune vakatendeka, asi kurangwa kukuru nehasha kune vasakarurama vanotyora murairo waMwari. Avo vakapa zvose nekuda kwaKristu vachengeteka zvino, vavigwa munenge mumapapiro aIshe. Vakaedzwa vakawanikwa vakakwana, pamberi penyika yose nepamberi pevanoramba chokwadi vakaratidza kutendeka kwavo kunaIye akafira zvivi zvavo. Kushanduka kukuru kwave pamusoro peavo vakabatisisa kutendeka kwavo pamberi perufu chairwo. Vasunungurwa kubva murima nemuhudzvinyiriri hunotyisa hwevanhu vakashandurwa kuva madhimoni. Zviso zvavo zvakambosuwa, zvichishushikana, nekuratidza kuparara, zvajekeswa zvino nechishamiso, kutenda nerudo. Mazwi avo anokwira zvino mukuimba: “Mwari ndiye vutiziro hwedu nesimba redu, Ndiye mubatsiri ari pedyo-pedyo panguva dzekumanikidzwa. Saka hatingatyi, kunyange nyika ikashanduka, Uye kunyange makomo akabviswa akaiswa mukati mamakungwa. Kunyange mvura zhinji yawo yotinhira nekumutswa, kunyange makomo akadedera nekupupuma kwawo” Pisarema 46: 1-3.KK 381.2

Mazwi aya ekuvimba munaMwari paanenge achikwira kunaMwari, makore anodzokera shure, matenga anenyeredzi ovonekwa, anekupenya kusingatauriki kana kuchienzaniswa nedenga dema rine hasha kumativi ose. Kubwinya kweguta rekudenga kunoyerera kuchibuda nepamasuo akashama. Mudenga munovonekwa ruoko rwemunhu rwakabata matombo maviri akakwidibirana. Anodaro muprofita, “Kudenga-denga kunodudzira kururama kwake; Nekuti Mwari ndiye mutongi amene” Pisarema 50:6. Mutemo uyu mutsvene, kururama kwaMwari, wakataurwa paSinai pakati pemheni, nemurazvo wemoto semurairo wekurarama nawo, wavekuratidzwa zvino kuvanhu sechiero chinoshandiswa pakutonga.

Vakashingaira kumanikidza vanhu vaMwari kuti vatyore Sabata. Zvino vave kupiwa mhosva nemurairo iwoyo wavakazvidza. Nekujekerwa kusina kana chingashaikwa vanovona kuti Havana chavangataura kuzvireverera. Vakasarudza wavaida kushumira nekunamata. “Ipapo muchaonazve kusiyana kwewakarurama newakaipa, kweanoshumira Mwari neasingamushumiri” Malachi 3:18.KK 381.3

Vavengi vemurairo waMwari, kubva kuvafundisi kusvika kunemunhu wekupedzisira, vave kuona chokwadi nenzira itsva chokwadi, nezvavaifanira kuita. Nguva yapera ndipo pavanovona kuti Sabata remurairo wechina ndiro chisimbiso chaicho chaMwari mupenyu. Nguva yapera ndipo pavanovona chimiro chaicho chesabata rekunyepera, nemujecha mavaivakira.

Izwi raMwari rinonzwikwa richibva mudenga, richitaura zuva nenguva yekuuya kwaJesu, richitaura sungano isingaperi kuvanhu vake. Semheni ineruzha rukuru kwazvo, mashoko ake akaita maungira munyika yose. Israeri yaMwari inomira ichiterera, maziso avo akatarisa kudenga.

Nenziyo dzekudenga vatumwa vatsvene, chaunga chakakura chisingaverengeki, vanomuperekedza. Muchadenga mose munozara nezvisikwa zvinopenya,-“zviuru zvine gumi nezviuru zvezviuru.” Hakuna munhu angagona kunyora chiitiko ichi, hakuna pfungwa dzemunhu dzinganzwisisa kupenya nekubwinya kwakadai. “Kubwinya kwake kunozadza denga rose nenyika inozara nenyika inozara nekumurumbidza.

Pamberi pake, zviso zvose zvinochenuruka,” (pamusoro pevairamba tsitsi dzaMwari panowira kutya kwekuparadzwa nekusingaperi. “Mwoyo unonyauka, mabvi anobonderana, kurwadziwa kuripo pazviuno zvose, zviso zvavose zvacheneruka” Jeremia 30:6; Nahamu 2:10. Vakarurama vanochema nekudedera, “Ndiani achagona kumira?” Kuimba kwevatumwa kunonyaradzwa, kunovapo nekunyarara kunotyisa.

Anodana denga kumusoro, nepasi, kuti atongere vanhu vake” Pisarema 50:3, 4.KK 383.1

“Nemadzimambo enyika, nevakuru, nevatungamiriri vehondo, nevafumi, nevanesimba, nevaranda vose, nevakasununguka vose vakanovanda mumapako nemumambwe emakomo; vakati kumakomo nekumabwe: ‘Tiwirei, mutivige pameso aiye unogara pachigaro chevushe, nepakutsamwa kweGwaiana; nekuti zuva guru rekutsamwa kwaro rasvika; ndianiko unogona kumira?’ ” Zvakazarurwa 6:15-17.KK 383.2

Pamberi pevakadzikinurwa paneguta dzvene. Jesu anozarura masuo emaparera, marudzi akachengeta chokwadi opinda. Imomo anovona Paradiso yaMwari, musha waAdamu asati atadza.

Pamusoro pegungwa rekristori riri pamberi pechigaro chehushe, gungwa riya regirazi raiita serakasanganiswa nemoto,-richipenyeswa nembiri yaMwari,- paungana vanhu “vakakurira chikara, nemufananidzo wacho nechiratidzo chacho, nechiverengo chezita racho” Zvakazarurwa 15:2. NeGwaiana paGomo reZioni, “vaIne rudimbwa rwaMwari,” vanomira, 144 000 avo vakadzikinurwa kubva panyaika; pakanzwikwa kutinhira sekwemvura zhinji, nekutinhira kwemheni kukuru, “nenzwi seravaridzi verudimbwa vachiridza vudimbwa” Zvakazarurwa 14:1-5; 15: 3; 7: 14-17. Zvino vakaimba “rwiyo rutsva” pamberi pechigaro, rwiyo rusina mumwe akarudzidza kunze kwe 144 000. Rwiyo rwaMosisi neGwaiana,-rwiyo rwekudzikinurwa.
