Yosia alikuwa na umri wa miaka minane alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala miaka thelathini na mmoja huko Yerusalemu.
2 Mambo ya Nyakati 34:1<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>

Yosia alikuwa na umri wa miaka minane alipoanza kutawala. Katika 2 Wafalme 23, tunajifunza kuhusu nyakati za ibada ya sanamu ambapo mvulana huyu mdogo alizaliwa. Hata hivyo, yeye ndiye mfalme wa mwisho mwema wa Yuda licha ya mazingira aliyozaliwa. Ni nini kilichomtambulisha mfalme mwema kama huyo, hata akiwa na umri wa miaka minane? Ni nini kilichomtambulisha uamsho ulioletwa na moyo uliojisalimisha kama huo? Ni masomo gani ya kiroho tunayoweza kutumia katika maisha yetu wenyewe?<\/p>

Tunaweza kujibu maswali haya kwa kutoa muhtasari wa maisha ya Yosia, kama inavyoonekana katika 2 Mambo ya Nyakati 34. Kwanza, ufufuo wa kiroho huanza na utii kwa Neno la Mungu. Pili, njaa ya kiroho inahitajika ikiwa kutakuwa na ufufuo; angalia Yosia "alianza kumtafuta Mungu wa baba yake Daudi" (mstari wa 3). Tatu, tunajifunza kwamba ufufuo wa kiroho unaweza kuja tu kuhusiana na Neno la Mungu (mstari wa 8-21). Nne, kuna mwitikio wa kiroho wakati Neno la Mungu linafundishwa waziwazi (mstari wa 29-33), ambalo huleta umoja miongoni mwa watu. Tano, ibada ya kweli ya kiroho ni matokeo ya kazi ya kweli ya kiroho inayofanywa mioyoni mwa watu. Pasaka ilisherehekewa na Bwana alikuwa na nafasi yake halali miongoni mwa watu wake tena!<\/p>

Haya yote yalitokea kwa sababu akiwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita kijana huyu alianza kuwa mzito na Bwana. Alipokuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini, alianza kuondoa kwa uangalifu yote ambayo hayakumheshimu Mungu wake (mstari wa 3). Alipokuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na sita, alikuwa amejihusisha sana na hali ya kiroho ya nyumba ya Bwana (mstari wa 8\u201310). Haya yote kabla hata hajafikisha miaka thelathini!<\/p>

Yosia anasimama kama mfano wa kipekee kwa kila mmoja wetu, bila kujali umri wetu. Yosia ni mfano mzuri kwetu kujifunza na kujifunza sifa za mtu ambaye Mungu anaweza kumtumia, hata katika siku ya kuvunjika kiroho, kuleta uamsho.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Je, wewe ni Yosia? Je, Mungu anaweza kukutumia kwa ajili ya utukufu wake? Je, umejisalimisha kwa Neno lake na mapenzi yake?<\/p><\/div>\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":"
