\u201c"Basi utauwa pamoja na kuridhika ni faida kubwa ... Lakini wewe, mtu wa Mungu, yakimbie mambo hayo; ukafuate haki, utauwa, imani, upendo, saburi, upole."\u201d
1 Timotheo 6:6, 11<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Tunaishi katika ulimwengu ambapo watu wengi hawaridhiki na hawana furaha. Lakini inamaanisha nini hasa kuridhika? Inamaanisha nini kuwa mcha Mungu?<\/p>

Kamusi moja ya Biblia inafafanua uchamungu kama "ubora au desturi ya kufuata sheria na matakwa ya Mungu; uchamungu na unyofu wa maadili." Inaendelea kusema, "Kuwa na busara ni kuishi katika uchamungu, kuakisi asili ya ufalme wa Mungu katika maisha ya kila siku." Hii ni ufafanuzi mzuri, lakini inamaanisha nini kwa vitendo? Kuridhika kunaonekanaje? Uchamungu unaonekanaje?<\/p>

Ufafanuzi unaofaa wa utauwa unaweza kuwa huu: mtindo wa maisha unaoakisi tabia ya Mungu kila mara.<\/p>

Neno utauwa<\/em> linapatikana yapata mara kumi na sita katika Agano Jipya, hasa katika Nyaraka za Kichungaji (1 na 2 Timotheo na Tito). Katika 1 Timotheo 4:7\u20138, Paulo anasema: \u201c"Lakini kataa hadithi za kidunia na za wazee, na ujizoeze kupata utauwa. Kwa maana mazoezi ya mwili yana faida kidogo, lakini utauwa una faida kwa mambo yote, ukiwa na ahadi ya uzima wa sasa na wa ule utakaokuja."\u2019<\/span><\/p>

Kisha, katika 2 Timotheo 3:5, anazungumzia wale walio na mfano wa utauwa lakini wanakana nguvu zake. Tunaweza kuwa na mwonekano wa nje wa utauwa, tukifanya mambo yote sahihi kwa nje, huku ndani tukikosa uhalisia na ukweli.<\/p>

Maisha ya utauwa wa kweli yana nguvu inayohusiana nayo. Sio maisha ya kidini tu yanayoonyeshwa na utaratibu wa nje, kama vile kuhudhuria kanisani au kushiriki katika shughuli za kidini. Mambo hayo ni mazuri na muhimu, lakini hayana nguvu ya kutubadilisha. Ni muhimu tusiache kukusanyika pamoja na waumini wengine, lakini mazoezi hayo yenyewe hayana nguvu ya kutufanya tufanane na Kristo.<\/p>

Turudi kwenye ufafanuzi wetu wa utendaji kazi wa utauwa na kujiuliza swali muhimu: Ninawezaje kufanya mtindo wangu wa maisha uonyeshe tabia ya Mungu kila mara?<\/p>

Jibu linaweza kupatikana tu katika kumfuata Mungu, kutembea naye kila siku, na kumruhusu Roho Mtakatifu atubadilishe kuwa mfano wa Kristo.<\/p>

Hili linatokeaje? Paulo anatupa sehemu ya jibu katika Warumi 12:1\u20132: \u201c"Basi, ndugu zangu, nawasihi, kwa huruma zake Mungu, itoeni miili yenu iwe dhabihu iliyo hai, takatifu, ya kumpendeza Mungu, ndiyo ibada yenu yenye maana. Wala msiifuatishe namna ya dunia hii, bali mgeuzwe kwa kufanywa upya nia zenu, mpate kujua hakika mapenzi ya Mungu yaliyo mema, ya kumpendeza, na ukamilifu."\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
Uchamungu ni mtiririko wa kazi ya Roho Mtakatifu ndani ya mwamini ili kutoa sifa zinazomwonyesha Kristo.<\/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":"
