Mharidzo: Upenyu imvura inoputika .

Ngekuti hupenyu i mhepo tinofanira kudzininipisa pamberi pa Mwari ne kuteerera kuda kwake.

Jakobo ari kutanga cipauko cipsa, asi musoro unobatana ngo zvipauko 4 no 5 ngo wo kujidodokesa. Kugonda kwegwinyiso kunotonga kudada ngekuzvininipisa pamberi paMwari. Mu 4:1-12, Jakobo wakarova kudikana ko kujidodokesa kuitira kupeja kuganyirana no kuva no ushamwari hunozwirana. Zvino anotendeukira kune nyaya yekuzvininipisa maererano neramangwana. Ari kusongana no mujimu wo kujikuja waainga akavona pakati po maceci. Kunyazwi anhu aya aizviti anoziya Kristu, aigara nge mafungiro enyika anodaidzwa nge mupostori Johani kuti “kuzvikudza kwe upenyu” (1 Johani 2:15). Vainga veciita zvirongwa vacikarangariri kufa kwavo no utongi hwa Mwari. Kudai nge mundhu wakapfuma wo mu mufananijo wa Jesu, ivona vainanga kuti, “Ndinozovaka matura makuru kuti ndingwarire zviro zvangu,” zve “ndinozobhuya ku mweya wangu kuti: ‘Mweya, une zviro zvakawanda zvakangwarirwa kuitira makore akawanda anozouya; nyara, irya, imwa no kudakara.’” “Esi Mwari wakati kwaari, ‘Iwewe, apana ciro caunoda, ndiani wako! vakanasirirwa?’” (Ruka 12, 19-20).

James anobhuya zviro zvirongomuna:

1. Upenyu i mhepo.
Izvi zvinoronza zviro zvitatu:

A. Upenyu hwakashata.
Jakobo wakanyora (4:13-14a) kuti, “Uyai zvino, imwimwi munoti, ‘Nhasi kana mangwani tinozoenda kudhorobha rimweni, tinozogarapo gore reshe, tiite bhizimusi, tiwane mare.’ Asi amuzii kuti upenyu hwenyu hunozoita sei mangwani.” Kana kuti, ndima ingaerengwa kudari, “Amuzivi zvicazoitika mangwani.” Atitozivi zvichaitika maminitsi gumi kubvira zvino, ngatisiye mangwani kana gore rinoteera! Vatengesi ava vaizvikudza veifunga kuti vaizomuka mangwani, kuti vaizoguma mudhorobha vakachengeteka, kuti bhizimisi ravo rinozobudirira mukati mwegore, uye kuti akuna unozovabira mare yavo. Vainga vecirangarira zviro zvese izvi ngo pamusoro po kumbeji kucikaziviki kwavainga vacikakwanisi kuzvitonga zve avacainga no cigondiso ngo pamusoro pazvo!

Kudai nge zvendakabhuya, mujaha wakagwinya maningi pakati pedu waikona kufa ngo kupfava pa kwainga kwaguma usiku. Kune njira dzakawanda dziri nyore uye dzisingatarisirwi dzekufa! Ndakamboita rufu rwemusikana wemakore gumi nerimwe akanyunyuta kuna mai vake nekupanda kwemusoro. Mai vake vakamuudza kuti aende kunorara pasi. Vakarara pasi ndokufa ne aneurysm yepfungwa. Taiziva vaviri vechidiki vaishanda neCampus Crusade. Vakaenda kunopedza vhiki kuti vazorora. Paakabuda mu hot tub pa motel yavo, wakaita dzungu akawa, akarova soro rake pamupendero we dziva. Haana kumbobuda mucoma. Rimweni Svondo masikati makore mashomanana apfuura, muisa umweni wainga no makore anodarika makumi matatu wakaguma pano waifoshora chando. Mukadzi wake wakaningira kubanze ngepafafitera akamuona akaata pashi, akafa ngekuora mwoyo.


Uyezve, munokwanisa kukaramba kuti kurangarira zviro zvakadaro zvinonyangadza zve zvinosuruvarisa. Andisi kuronzera kuti uite obsess ngezviro izvi. Asi kudari mukatama kumbozvirangarira, amuzorarami ngo kuthemba Mwari zvakanaka. Unozoita zvirongwa ngo kudakara zve woenderera mberi no upenyu inga kuti unozogara uri mudoko zve unova no uhomi hwakanaka. Jakobo anoti (4:16) kuti “kuzvirumbidza kweshe kwakadaro kwakaipa.”

B. Upenyu hwakapfupika.
Mvura inogara kwenguva pfupi. Unoone mhute panguwa imwe uye maminitsi mashomani gare gare yapera. Unoone mhepo yeibuda mukapu yako yekofi uye muchipiri chimwe chete, inonyangarika mumhepo. Hupenyu hwakadaro.

Mu Nduyo 90, Mosi anocema ngo pamusoro po kupfupika ko upenyu. Iyena anoezanisa upenyu no uswa hwo munda hunomera mangwanani zve pa madekoni, hwapera pashi po zuwa rinopisa. Anonyora (90:10) kuti, “Nge mazuwa e upenyu hwedu, ane makore makumi manomwe, kana nge ndaa ye simba, makore makumi masere, asi kudakara kwavo kungoshanda nge kushungurudzika; ngokuti zvinopera ngekukasira, tinobhururuka.” Pikija ukararama kuguma pa zana, upenyu hunobhururuka ngo kukasika! Shamwari yangu imweni inobhuya ngo ungwaru kuti upenyu hwakafanana no mupumburu wo pepa ro mu cimbuzi—kudari ukakhwedera phedo no kupera, unokasira kupera!” Unokona kutama kukhatara ngo mufananijowo, asi ngo zvokadi!

Ndiyo ndaa Mosi wakanamata (90:12), “Hino tifundise kuerenga mazuwa edu, kuti tikupe mwoyo wakangwara.Mwari ega ndiye unokona kundipa ungwaru hwandinoda kuti ndipedze mazuwa aya zvakanaka muchiedza chekusingaperi.

C. Rufu rwune chokwadi.
Nhamba dzekufa dzinoshamisa zvikuru. Mumwe pavanhu vanofa.” Iwe unozofunga kuti ngekuti rufu haruzi kungoitika, asi rwechokwadi, uye kuti rinokona kuitika paminiti iriyo iriyo, uye kuti munhu umwe neumwe anofanira kuema pamberi paMwari kuti atongwe, munhu weshe angave akapererwa ngekuziya kuti angaita sei zvakanaka naMwari Asi, zvinoshamisa, vanhu vanozviisa kunze kwepfungwa uye vanoenderera mberi ngehupenyu sekuti vanozorarama mhetsa nariini wastro shake on The TV. misoro yavo mukusatenda miiri inoyangarara mumvura, vobuda pamusiwo kuenda kuzviro zvavo zve zuwa nge zuwa vasikakwiri nge hope dzavo pamberi pa Mwari vechitendeuka nge zvishaishi zvavo Zvinoshamisa!

Jesu wakatijijisa kuti tinodikana kurangarira kudini patinozwa ngo pamusoro po ngozi jakadaro. Vamweni vanhu vakamuronzera ngendaa yevamweni vaGarireya vakaurawa ndi Pirato.
