Akafanya yaliyo mema machoni pa BWANA, akaziendea njia za Daudi baba yake, wala hakugeuka upande wa kuume wala wa kushoto.&quot;\u201d<\/em><br \/><em><strong>2 Mambo ya Nyakati 34:1-2<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Yosia alikuwa mtoto wa miaka minane alipoanza kutawala. Katika 2 Wafalme 23, tunajifunza kuhusu hali za ibada ya sanamu ambazo mvulana huyu mdogo alizaliwa, lakini akawa 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><p>Tunaweza kujibu maswali haya kwa kutoa muhtasari wa maisha ya Yosia kama inavyoonekana katika 2 Mambo ya Nyakati 34-35. Kwanza, ufufuo wa kiroho huanza na utii kwa Neno la Mungu. Pili, njaa ya kiroho inahitajika ikiwa kutakuwa na ufufuo. Ona kwamba Yosia &quot;alianza kumtafuta Mungu wa baba yake Daudi&quot; (mstari wa 3). Tunajifunza, tatu, kwamba ufufuo wa kiroho unaweza kuja tu kuhusiana na Neno la Mungu, kama inavyoonekana katika 34:8-21. Nne, kuna mwitikio wa kiroho wakati Neno la Mungu linapofundishwa waziwazi (34:29-33), ambalo huleta umoja miongoni mwao. Tano, ibada ya kweli ya kiroho ni matokeo ya kazi ya kweli ya kiroho inayofanywa mioyoni mwa watu. Pasaka inaadhimishwa, na Bwana ana nafasi yake halali miongoni mwa watu wake tena!<\/p><p>Haya yote yalitokea kwa sababu mvulana wa miaka minane akawa mfalme! Akiwa na umri wa miaka 16, kijana huyu alianza kuwa mzito na Bwana. Akiwa na umri wa miaka 20, alianza kuondoa kwa uangalifu yote ambayo hayakumheshimu Mungu wake (34:3). Alipokuwa na umri wa miaka 26, alikuwa amehusika sana katika hali ya kiroho ya nyumba ya Bwana (34:8-10). Haya yote kabla hata hajafikisha miaka 30!<\/p><p>Yosia anasimama kama mfano kwa kila mmoja wetu, bila kujali umri wetu. Alikuwa kijana aliyemtanguliza Bwana moyoni mwake, na ilionekana katika maisha yake. Yosia aliweka kipaumbele katika Neno la Mungu (34:14-21, 24; 35:6, 12). Alikuwa tayari kujifunza kutoka kwa wengine na akawaruhusu wamshawishi katika mwelekeo sahihi (34:22-33). Yosia ni mfano mzuri kwetu kujifunza na kujifunza sifa za mtu binafsi ambazo Mungu anaweza kumtumia, hata katika siku ya kuvunjika kiroho, ili kuleta uamsho!<\/p><p><strong>Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong><br \/>Je, wewe ni Yosia? Je, Mungu anaweza kukutumia kwa ajili ya utukufu wake? Je, umejisalimisha kwa Neno lake na mapenzi yake?<\/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":"<p>The Boy Who Became King \u201cJosiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
