\u201c"Lakini niliona ni lazima kumtuma kwenu Epafrodito, ndugu yangu, mfanyakazi mwenzangu, na askari mwenzangu, tena mjumbe wenu, na mhudumu wangu katika hitaji langu; kwa kuwa alikuwa na hamu sana kwa ajili yenu nyote, akahuzunika kwa sababu mlisikia kwamba alikuwa mgonjwa. Kwa maana alikuwa mgonjwa karibu kufa; lakini Mungu alimrehemu, wala si yeye tu, bali na mimi pia, nisije nikapata huzuni juu ya huzuni."\u201d<\/em>
Wafilipi 2:25\u201327<\/strong><\/p>

Epafrodito alikuwa ametumwa na kusanyiko huko Filipi kumpelekea mtume Paulo zawadi ya upendo. Alipokuwa njiani, aliugua sana\u2014\u201c"mgonjwa karibu kufa."\u201d<\/em> Mara tu alipopona vya kutosha kusafiri, Paulo alimrudisha kwa waumini huko Filipi ili waweze kufarijiwa kwa kumwona tena (mstari wa 28). Paulo aliwaagiza: \u201c"Mpokeeni katika Bwana kwa furaha yote, nanyi mkawaheshimu watu kama hawa; kwa sababu alikaribia kufa kwa ajili ya kazi ya Kristo, asijihadhari na maisha yake, ili atimize kile kilichokuwa kimepungua katika huduma yenu kwangu."\u201d<\/em> (mstari wa 29\u201330).<\/p>

Kifungu hiki kifupi kinatufundisha masomo kadhaa:<\/p>

1. Kumtumikia Bwana hakutuondolei mateso.<\/strong>
Wengine wanaweza kuiona misheni ya Epafrodito kama isiyofanikiwa\u2014labda hata kushindwa. Lakini sivyo ilivyo. Tofauti inapatikana katika maneno hayo mazuri: \u201c"Lakini Mungu."\u201d<\/em> Paulo angeweza kusema, \u201c"Lakini Mungu alikuwa na rehema."\u201d<\/em> Mungu hakuwa na udhibiti tu\u2014Yeye ndiye aliyekuwa na udhibiti.<\/p>

2. Kinachoonekana kama kushindwa kinaweza kuwa sehemu ya mchakato wa ukuaji wa Mungu.<\/strong>
Kama maisha yangekuwa uzoefu wa kilele cha milima tu, hatungegundua kamwe ukuaji wa kiroho unaotokea katika mabonde.<\/p>

3. Tunaona thamani ya maisha ya jumuiya katika Kristo.<\/strong>
Paulo alitangaza: \u201c"Lakini Mungu alimhurumia, wala si yeye tu, bali na mimi pia, nisije nikawa na huzuni juu ya huzuni."\u201d <\/em>Kurudi kwa Epafrodito kulileta furaha si kwa Paulo tu, bali pia kungeleta furaha kwa kusanyiko lote.<\/p>

4. Mungu huona kile ambacho wengine hawaoni.<\/strong>
Wengi wetu hatungejua masomo haya kutoka kwa maisha ya Epafrodito bila \u201c"Lakini Mungu."\u201d<\/em> Mengi ya maisha yamefichwa kutoka kwa umma. Mengi ya yale tunayofanya kwa ajili ya Kristo huenda yasirekodiwe katika historia ya wanadamu. Lakini Mungu huona. Anajua. Na anaheshimu kile kinachofanywa kwa utukufu Wake.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Hakuna hali yoyote ya maisha iliyo nje ya uwezo wa rehema ya Mungu.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
