Timiza ulichokiweka nadhiri\u2014afadhali kutoweka nadhiri kuliko kuapa bila kuitimiza. Usiruhusu kinywa chako kifanye mwili wako utende dhambi, wala usiseme mbele ya mjumbe wa Mungu kwamba ni kosa. Kwa nini Mungu akasirike kwa udhuru wako na kuharibu kazi ya mikono yako? Kwa maana katika wingi wa ndoto na maneno mengi pia kuna ubatili. Lakini mche Mungu.&quot;\u201d<br \/><strong>Mhubiri 5:4\u20137<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Sulemani anaonya dhidi ya kutoa viapo vya uzembe. Baadhi ya watu huweka nadhiri kwa Mungu wakijaribu kujadiliana naye: \u201cUkifanya hivi, naahidi kufanya vile.\u201d Sulemani anaonya dhidi ya aina hii ya mbinu ya kumkaribia Mungu, akitukumbusha kwamba tukiweka nadhiri kwa Mungu, lazima tuzitimize. Analinganisha kutoa ahadi kwa Mungu na kisha kutozitimiza na upumbavu.<\/p><p>Viapo vinahusu matendo yajayo, na wakati ujao ni kitu ambacho mimi na wewe hatuna udhibiti mkubwa juu yake. Viapo vinapaswa kuchukuliwa kuwa vitakatifu na vya dhati kwa sababu vinahusisha hali halisi za mbinguni, na tunapaswa kuwa waangalifu tusivifanye kirahisi. Baadhi ya watu hutumia viapo ili kupata uaminifu wa wengine ili kuvitumia vibaya, na wengine hata hujaribu kufanya hivi kwa Bwana.<\/p><p>Sulemani anatuonya kuhusu hatari ya kuvunja kiapo, na Yakobo anaongeza, \u201cLakini zaidi ya yote, ndugu zangu, msiape, ama kwa mbingu wala kwa nchi, wala kwa kiapo kingine chochote; bali Ndiyo yenu iwe Ndiyo, na Hapana yenu iwe Hapana, msije mkaangukia hukumuni\u2018 (Yakobo 5:12).<\/p><p>Mojawapo ya hatari za kutoa viapo ni kwamba hali zetu zinaweza kubadilika, na kufanya iwe vigumu kutimiza ahadi kama hiyo. Pia kuna viapo ambavyo havijakamilika na vinaweza kuwa mtego unaotunasa, kama tunavyoona katika Waamuzi 11:29\u201340, Mathayo 14:6\u201312, na Matendo 23:20\u201324.<\/p><p>Anania na Safira walimdanganya Mungu na wakapata hukumu Yake walipoapa kwa kujifanya wa uongo (Matendo 5:1\u201311). Ingekuwa bora zaidi kama hawangeapa kamwe. Wangeweza kutoa sehemu tu ya mapato kutoka kwa ardhi yao, lakini badala yake walitaka kujenga hisia potofu mbele ya wengine. Walitamani kuonekana wa kiroho zaidi ili kupata heshima kubwa ndani ya kanisa. Kitendo hiki cha unafiki kiliwagharimu maisha yao.<\/p><p>Mungu hatuhitaji tuweke viapo. Katika Agano la Kale, viapo vilitolewa kama usemi wa hiari wa kujitolea kwa mtu kwa Mungu (Hes. 30; Kum. 23:21\u201323; Matendo 18:18). Lakini, kwa maneno ya Sulemani, Bwana anamwambia kila mmoja wetu, \u201cMwanangu, nipe moyo wako\u201d (Mith. 23:26).<\/p><p><strong>Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong><br \/>Bwana anataka maisha yaliyosalitiwa yaishi kwa ajili yake, si ahadi tupu.
