Kwa zaka zoposa zana limodzi, kupyolera mu kugwira ntchito kwa Mzimu Wake, Mulungu wapereka chowonadi ponena za Pangano Latsopano ndi Mkhalapakati, Yesu, ndipo chotero anamangiriranso umodzi wa chikondi cha Kristu kwa wopereka kuunika kwa ophunzira Baibulo ena. amene anali atasiya kuona choonadi ichi. Okhulupirira ambiri m’madera osiyanasiyana a dziko lapansi anayamba kukhulupirira kufunikira kwa choonadi chimenechi, (kulekanitsidwa ndi mitundu yonse ya zoipa za dziko lauzimu) kuchokera ku kupereka kwa Mzimu Woyera kupita m’tsogolo kwa onse amene adzasonkhanitsidwa m’dzina la Yesu.

Amuna enanso anadziŵa ntchito yawo m’zimenezi, ndipo analola kuunika kwawo kuwalitsa kuchokera m’chidziŵitso chonse chimene aphunzira kupyolera m’Mawu, ndi zolembedwa za malamulo aumulungu. Ambiri tsopano sakudziŵa kufunika kwa Ufumu umene ukubwerawo.

Pokhapokha m’zaka zaposachedwapa pamene pakhala umboni wochuluka pa chowonadi chimenechi. Zinali zonse, ndi changu chochepa chochokera kwa ife, osati ndi chikhulupiriro chamkati chotero kuti talankhula kwa akhristu ena za chowonadi chaulemerero ichi kuti tsopano titha kumvetsetsa bwino lomwe kudzera mu chisomo cha Mulungu. Pali anthu ambiri masiku ano amene alibe chidziŵitso chimenechi ngakhale kuti amasonyeza changu chachikulu kwa Yehova. M’masiku athu ano n’zodzichepetsa kudzipatulira kulengeza Uthenga Wabwino, malamulo a Yehova ndi uthenga wabwino wa Ufumu.

Ambiri afunsa ife mafunso akuti, “Kodi tagawana mokwanira choonadi chimenechi ndi Akristu ena? “Kodi timavomereza mokwanira udindo umene waikidwa pa ife kumapeto kwa Nyengoyo?”

Titagaŵana zimenezi ndi abale ena, tinalingalira kukhala bwino kupereka mawu olimbikitsa kwa abale m’chinenero chathu cha Chijeremani ndiponso m’maiko ena, ndi chiyembekezo chakuti kutsimikiza kofananako kudzapezedwa mwa iwo kuchokera m’mawu olembedwa.

Paulo anati: “Mpingo wa Mulungu wamoyo, mzati ndi maziko a choonadi.” ( 1 Timoteo 3:15 ) Paulo ananena kuti: Mpingo uyenera kuyang’anira chowonadi, ndi kuchigwira molimba monga ankachitira m’mbuyomo. Kuonjezera apo, iwo aikidwa udindo Wochotsa zoipa m'miyoyo yawo ndi kudzipatula. Izi zikukhudza mpingo uliwonse wa Mulungu.

Mpingo wa mayanjano osiyanasiyana uli ndi anthu ambiri ndipo kuchokera kwa ambiri amene Mulungu wawayitana kuti akachite utumiki wawo pafupi ndi kutali; koma onse ayenera kuchitira umboni umodzi mogwirizana ndi chilimbikitso cha mtumwi Paulo kwa Akorinto: “Khalani okhazikika, osasunthika, akuchuluka mu ntchito ya Ambuye nthaŵi zonse.” ( 1 Akorinto 15:58 ) “Khalani okhazikika, osasunthika, akuchuluka mu ntchito ya Ambuye.”

Chotero, tikufuna kufunsa abale onse amene tingawafikire funso lakuti: “Kodi inu mwa mawu anu, ndi mwa kufalitsa timapepala ndi timapepala ta timapepala tozikidwa pa choonadi cha Mulungu, simungathandizenso kufalitsa mfundo zaumulungu za Ufumu wa Mulungu? Uthenga Wabwino kuti udziwike bwino pakati pa anthu?”

Ndi kangati timamva amuna akunena kuti, “Sindinawerengepo chilichonse chotere, kapena kumva chilichonse; Sindimadziwa kuti zinthu ngati zimenezi zinaliponso.” Kodi ndi chifukwa cha kusasamala kwathu? Ndipo kodi ifenso kupyolera mu umboni wathu sitikufuna kudziwitsa anthu za izi, zomwe ife tokha tapeza ponena za dongosolo la Mulungu mu Mawu Ake? Funso lachiŵiri limene tikufuna kulilingalira mowonjezereka: “Kodi simutithandiza ife kufalitsa Uthenga Wabwino?

Nthaŵi zina, munthu wamva mawu akuti, “Tili ndi ntchito yapadera, yochitira umboni chowonadi, pamene ena amagwira ntchito mowonjezereka m’mbali ya kufalitsa Uthenga Wabwino.” Koma kodi tingateteze maganizo oterowo? Paulo sanali kapolo wa mpingo wa Mulungu yekha ndi mayitanidwe apadera akuchitira umboni choonadi ndi kuyendamo; koma mu kalata yake kwa Akolose anadzitcha yekha mtumiki wa Uthenga Wabwino umene ulalikidwa kwa cholengedwa chirichonse cha pansi pa thambo (Akolose 1:23). Pa Aroma 15:16 , akukumbutsa oyera mtima a ku Roma za chisomo chachikulu chimene Mulungu anam’patsa, “Kuti ndikhale mtumiki wa Yesu Khristu kwa amitundu, wotumikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu.

Ndi zitsanzo zotani nanga za choonadi ndi kudzipereka zimene Paulo anatisonyeza pochita utumiki umenewu mpaka mapeto! Nthawi zambiri Ayuda ndi Amitundu ankamufunafuna m’nyumba kuti amulange chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chake mwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu. Anayenda maulendo ataliatali aumishonale kuti apindule miyoyo. Pa nthawi ina ananena kuti, “Chikondi cha Khristu chimatilimbikitsa,” kuti amuna ayenera kupemphera kuti: “Tiyanjanitsidwenso ndi Mulungu.” ( 2     5:20. Kumapeto kwa ulendo wa moyo wake akulimbikitsa Timoteo, osati kokha “kulalikira chowonadi” ndi “kukwaniritsa utumiki wako; koma pozindikira kufunika kwa nthawiyo, “Kuchita ntchito ya mlaliki wa Uthenga Wabwino” ( 2 Tim. 4:2, 5 ).

Tiyeni ndi chisoni ndi kukhudzidwa tizindikire kuti owerengeka a ife akanapezeka kuti anapatulira miyoyo yathu kwa Ambuye. Pamene timayang’ana m’mbuyo ku mfundo yakuti, “zomwe zinalipo kuyambira pachiyambi,” timachita “zochita zathu” zimene tasiya.

Maganizo amenewa alinso maganizo a abale ambiri m’mayiko ambiri. Iwo amafunsa pamaso pa Mulungu kuti, “Ngati sikungakhale bwino kudziwitsa abale ambiri nkhaniyi kuti afalitse choonadi chimenechi m’mayiko osiyanasiyana.” Mulungu, kupyolera mwa Mzimu Wake wachisomo, anyalanyaze kunyalanyaza kwathu ndi kutipanga ife kukhala odalirika.

Mosakayikira pa mfundo imeneyi, pangakhale mafunso ambiri othandiza operekedwa, koma pamene mtima ukupereka ndipo chosowacho chidziŵika, njira idzapezekadi monga yankho la kuchotsedwa kwa zovuta ndi zopinga zambiri.

Ndife olimba mtima kukufunsani kuti muganizire kalata yolimbikitsayi. Pamene kupyolera mu zolemba zathu pano, kuti pakhale mtima wotenthedwa; ndipo kodi sipakanakhala kale mdalitso umene ukubwera umene ungapangitse mawu athu ofooka kukhala olimba mwa chisomo cha Mulungu? Dzina la Ambuye lilemekezedwe ndipo Iye adziwitse chifuniro Chake kwa ife!

“Tili ndi mphatso zosiyanasiyana, monga mwa chisomo chapatsidwa kwa ife. Ngati mphatso ya munthu ili yonenera, ayigwiritse ntchito molingana ndi chikhulupiriro chake. Ngati ndi kutumikira, atumikire ngati kuphunzitsa, aphunzitse; ngati chili cholimbikitsa, alimbikitse; ngati ipatsa zosoweka za ena, apatse modzala manja; ngati uli utsogoleri, alamulire ndi changu; ngati chili chifundo, achite mokondwera. Aroma 12:6-8 (NIV)

For more than a century, through the working of His Spirit, God has given the truth about the New Covenant and the Mediator, Jesus, and thus again tied the unity of the love of Christ to the light-giver to some students of the Bible who had lost sight of this truth. Many believers in different parts of the world came to believe in the importance that this truth entails, (the isolation from all types of evil on the spiritual realm) from the giving of the Holy Spirit onward to all that would be gathered in the name of Jesus.

Other men also knew their duty in this, and let their light shine from all the knowledge they have learned through the Word, and the writings of godly principles. Many now do not know the importance of the coming Kingdom.

Only in recent past years has there been more of a witness on this truth. It was in general, with less enthusiasm from us, and not with such inner faith conviction that we have spoken to other Christians of this glorious truth that we now could understand more clearly through the grace of God.  There are many today without this knowledge even though they show great enthusiasm for the Lord.   It is humbling in our days to be dedicated to proclaim forth the Gospel, the commandments of the Lord and the good news of the Kingdom.

Many have put the questions to us, “Have we fully enough shared this truth with other Christians?” “Do we fully accept this responsibility that is laid upon us at the end of the Age?”

After we had shared this with other brethren, we thought it good to give a word of encouragement to the brethren in our German speaking and also other lands, in the hope that the same conviction would be found in them from the written word.

Paul said, “The church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim 3:15). The church must watch over the truth, and hold it fast as they had done in the past. Besides this, there is laid on them the duty of putting evil out of their lives and staying away from it.  This applies to each local church of God.

The church of various fellowships consist of many people and from those many God has called them to carry out their service near and far;  but  all should  give the one witness  in  accordance with the exhortation of the apostle Paul to the Corinthians: “Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

We, therefore, want to put the question to all brethren we can reach: “Would you through your word, and through the spreading of tracts and flyers, that are based on the truth of God, not also help spread these godly principles of the Gospel so that they can be made better known among men?”

How often have we heard men say, “I have never read anything like this, nor even heard of it; I did not know that such a thing even existed.” Is that because of our negligence?   And don’t we also through our witness want to make men aware of this, what we ourselves have found in regard to the plan of God in His Word? A second question we want to put for further consideration:  “Will you not help us to spread the Gospel?“

Occasionally, man has heard the expression, “We have a special mission, to witness for the truth, while others work more in the area of spreading the Gospel.” But can we defend such a view?   Paul was not only a servant to the church of God with the special calling to witness to the truth and to walk in it; but in his letter to the Colossians he called himself a minister of the Gospel which is preached to every creature under heaven (Colossians 1:23). In Romans 15:16, he reminds the saints in Rome of the great grace that God had gifted to him, “That I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God.”

What examples of truth and devotion Paul showed us in carrying out this service unto the end!   Often Jews and Gentiles sought him in houses to punish him for his belief in our Lord Jesus Christ.  He made long missionary journeys to win souls.  At one point he said, “The love of Christ urges us,” that men should pray: “Let us be reconciled to God” (2 Cor. 5:20).  At the end of his life’s journey he exhorts Timothy, not only “to preach the truth” and “fulfill your service;” but in recognition of the importance of the time, “To do the work of an evangelist” (2 Tim. 4:2, 5).

Let us with regret and concern recognize that so few of us would be found to have dedicated our lives to the Lord. While we look back to the principle, “what was from the beginning,” we have in the “practical” outworking of our endeavors left something out.

These thoughts are also the thoughts of many brethren in many lands.  They ask before God, “If it would not be good to bring this matter to the attention of many brethren to spread this truth in different lands.”  May God, through His gracious Spirit, overlook our neglect and make us more responsible.

Undoubtedly on this point, there could be many practical questions put forth, but when the heart is giving and the need is known, a way would certainly be found as a solution for the removal of so many difficulties and obstacles.

We are bold to ask you to consider this letter of encouragement.  When through our writings here, that there may be a heart warmed; and would not there be already a blessing coming forth that would make our weak voice strong by the grace of God? May the Lord’s Name be glorified and He make known His will to us!
