\u201c""Mwana humheshimu baba yake, na mtumishi humheshimu bwana wake. Basi, kama mimi ndiye Baba, heshima yangu iko wapi? Na kama mimi ni Bwana, hofu yangu iko wapi? Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi kwenu ninyi makuhani mnaolidharau jina langu; lakini ninyi mwasema, Tumelidharau jina lako kwa njia gani?""\u201c<\/em>
Malaki 1:6<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Kwa sababu ya kupoteza mtazamo wa upendo wa Mungu, watu walianza kusahau ukuu wa Mungu, na wakadharau jina lake. Malaki 1:6\u20132:9 inaelekezwa mahususi kwa makuhani, ambao walipaswa kuwafundisha watu kuheshimu tabia ya Mungu na sifa yake. Badala yake, walichukulia mambo haya kama yasiyo na thamani kubwa.<\/p>

Jina la Bwana linawakilisha yote aliyo\u2014sifa zake, uungu wake, na ukuu wake. Malaki alitumia kifungu cha maneno \u201c"Jina langu"\u201d<\/em> angalau mara nane ili kuwatia hatiani makuhani kwa kutojali kwao. Walipouliza, \u201c"Tumeidharau jina lako kwa njia gani?"\u201d<\/em> Malaki aliwajibu kwa njia mbili.<\/p>

Kwanza, makuhani walikuwa wakimtolea Bwana kile tunachoweza kukiita "mabaki" (Malaki 1:6\u201314). Walileta wanyama wagonjwa na vilema\u2014sadaka ambazo hata hawakumtolea gavana wao. Wangewezaje kuthubutu kutoa sadaka hizo kwa Bwana?<\/p>

Kabla hatujawahukumu vikali sana, tunapaswa kuchunguza maisha yetu wenyewe. Je, kuna maeneo ambapo tunampa Bwana mabaki yetu? Je, tunalichukulia jina Lake kama kitu kisicho na thamani? Ni rahisi kumpa Jumapili\u2014na labda jioni moja wakati wa juma\u2014lakini Bwana anatamani tujitoe kama dhabihu zilizo hai, takatifu na zinazokubalika Kwake, kila siku ya maisha yetu (Warumi 12:1). Tunaweza kusahau kwa urahisi kwamba kila eneo la maisha yetu linapaswa kuendana na heshima ya jina Lake.<\/p>

Pili, makuhani hawa walikuwa wakijichukulia yaliyo bora zaidi. Walikuwa wamepoteza mtazamo wa pendeleo la kuwa wawakilishi wa Mungu na walikuwa wameacha sheria Yake (Malaki 2:1\u20139). Malaki 2:5\u20137 inaelezea sifa sita muhimu kwa yeyote anayetaka kumwakilisha Mungu kwa uaminifu.<\/p>

Kwanza, lazima kuwe na hofu ya heshima kwa Bwana. Hili linapopotea, nuru yetu inafifia na ushawishi wetu katika ulimwengu wa giza hupungua sana. Pili, ni lazima tujue ukweli na kuutangaza. Maandiko yanatuhimiza kujionyesha kwa Mungu kama wafanyakazi ambao hawahitaji kuona aibu, tukigawanya neno la kweli kwa usahihi, na kuhubiri Neno kwa uaminifu (2 Timotheo 2:15; 4:2). Tatu, tumeitwa kuacha dhambi na kubaki tumetengwa nayo: \u201c"Kimbia pia tamaa za ujana"\u201d<\/em> (2 Timotheo 2:22). Nne, tunapaswa kutembea kila siku na Mungu katika Neno Lake na katika maombi. Tano, ni lazima tuwaelekeze wengine kwa Kristo, si kwetu sisi wenyewe. Sita, hatupaswi kamwe kusahau kwamba sisi ni wajumbe wa Bwana.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Makuhani katika siku za Malaki walishindwa katika majukumu haya muhimu na walimdharau Mungu. Bwana atusaidie kukua katika heshima yetu kwa ajili ya Yeye ni nani na kwa ajili ya wito wa neema ambao ametuleta.<\/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":"
