\u201c"Lakini tunda la Roho ni upendo, furaha, amani, uvumilivu, wema, fadhili, uaminifu, upole, kiasi. Juu ya mambo kama hayo hakuna sheria."\u201d
Wagalatia 5:22\u201323<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Inafurahisha kutambua kwamba wakati mtume Paulo Mtume<\/span><\/span> alionekana kabla Antonius Felix<\/span><\/span>, \u201calihoji kuhusu haki, kujidhibiti, na hukumu itakayokuja.\u201d Matokeo yake, \u201cFeliksi aliogopa, akajibu, \u2018Ondoka sasa; nitakapopata nafasi nitakuita\u2019\u201d (Matendo 24:25).<\/p>

Mafarisayo walikuwa viongozi wa kidini waliofunga, waliomba, na kutoa sadaka. Kwa nje, ilionekana kana kwamba walikuwa na kiasi. Hata hivyo, katika Mathayo 23:25, 27, Bwana Yesu alisema kuwahusu: \u201c"Ole wenu waandishi na Mafarisayo, wanafiki! Kwa kuwa mnasafisha nje ya kikombe na sahani, lakini ndani vimejaa unyang'anyi na anasa... Ole wenu waandishi na Mafarisayo, wanafiki! Kwa kuwa mmefanana na makaburi yaliyopakwa chokaa, ambayo kwa nje yanaonekana kuwa mazuri, lakini ndani yamejaa mifupa ya wafu na uchafu wote."\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Inaonekana, kulingana na Maandiko, kwamba Feliksi aliishi waziwazi bila kujizuia, huku Mafarisayo wakiishi maisha ya nidhamu kwa nje, lakini ndani walikuwa na alama ya kujifurahisha. Hakuna aliyejua maana ya kuishi maisha yaliyojaa Roho na kuonyesha kujizuia kweli.<\/p>

Kujidhibiti wakati mwingine hutafsiriwa kama kiasi<\/em>. Ni nguvu ya kutawala tamaa na matamanio ya mtu. Mtume Paulo anaonyesha hili kwa kulinganisha maisha ya Kikristo na mbio katika 1 Wakorintho 9:24\u201327: \u201c"Hamjui ya kwamba wale wapigao mbio katika mashindano hupiga mbio wote, lakini mmoja hupokea tuzo? Pigeni mbio hivyo ili mpate. Na kila mtu ashindanaye kwa ajili ya tuzo ni mwenye kiasi katika mambo yote. Basi wanafanya hivyo ili wapate taji iharibikayo, bali sisi tupate taji isiyoharibika. Kwa hiyo mimi napiga mbio hivi, si kwa kutokuwa na uhakika. Hivyo napigana; si kama mtu apigaye hewa; bali nautia mwili wangu mapigo na kuutumikisha, isiwe, nikiisha kuwahubiri wengine, mimi mwenyewe nisije nikakataliwa."\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Petro Mtume<\/span><\/span> Vile vile inatupa changamoto: \u201cMkijitahidi sana, ongezeni katika imani yenu wema, na katika wema wenu maarifa, na katika maarifa yenu kiasi, na katika kujizuia, na katika uvumilivu wenu, na katika ustahimilivu, na katika utauwa, na katika utauwa, na katika upendano wa kindugu, na katika upendano wa kindugu, upendo\u201d (2 Pet. 1:5\u20137).<\/span><\/p>

Tunaishi katika siku inayoonyeshwa na ukosefu wa kujidhibiti (2 Tim. 3:3). Lakini na tuonyeshe matunda ya maisha ya kujidhibiti, faraghani na hadharani.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Na tuishi maisha yanayoongozwa na Roho kwa ajili ya utukufu wa 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":"
