Kutafakari kunapaswa kuwa nzuri kwako na kunapaswa kuwa na athari nzuri kwa jamii. Mtazamo bora, mkusanyiko, improving memory and emotional processing, kutafuta "ubinafsi" wako wa ndani, amani ya ndani, kuelimika, uponyaji, furaha, kupunguza wasiwasi, mkazo, hofu, na unyogovu. These are just some of the wonderful promises that persuade people, wakiwemo Wakristo, kutafakari. They think meditation is beneficial and has a positive impact on their lives, especially transcendental meditation. They don’t consider the negative side effects of meditation. But is meditation good for you or is meditation dangerous and a gateway to evil, wasiwasi, na maafa? Je, Wakristo wanapaswa kufanya kutafakari au kutafakari ni dhambi? Ni hatari gani ya kiroho ya kutafakari ambayo watu wengi hawajui?
Ushawishi wa kutafakari katika jamii ya Magharibi
Kwa muda tu, kujiondoa kwenye maisha yako yenye shughuli nyingi, tupu akili yako, tuliza, na kupumzika, kupata amani ya ndani. It sounds so good and promising. Na hata (matibabu) sayansi inathibitisha madai ya faida za kutafakari na kukuza kutafakari. Kwa sababu hiyo, kutafakari imekuwa sehemu ya jamii ya Magharibi.
Many schools, makampuni, (ya kiserikali) mashirika, taasisi za afya, na (michezo) clubs implemented meditation, without knowing the danger of meditation.
Roho ya Mashariki inavuma Magharibi, na kwa hila sana na polepole roho ya Pasaka inachukua milki ya Magharibi.
Even churches and Christians, who supposed to be spiritual and know the spiritual danger of meditation, succumbed to the meditation hype. Kutokana na roho hii ya kutangatanga ya udanganyifu na ukosefu wa maarifa ya kiroho, nyingimakanisa yamekuwa ya uchawi kupitia maisha ya Wakristo wa kimwili.
Wakristo wengi wameshawishiwa na dini na falsafa hizi za Mashariki na mazoea yao ya uchawi, ikiwa ni pamoja na kutafakari. They apply meditation techniques thinking that meditation is beneficial and don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation. They meditate to find their inner ‘self’ and inner peace. Lakini hii ni ya Kibiblia?
Should Christians meditate or is meditation a sin? What does the Bible say about meditation and the danger of meditation? To answer these questions, let us first look at the practice and history of meditation.
Kutafakari ni nini?
Kutafakari ni njia inayotumia mbinu za asili kuungana na ‘ubinafsi’ wako wa ndani.; nafsi yako. Kupitia kutafakari, you gain insights into yourself, jitie nguvu, na kupata amani ya ndani.
Unaweza kutafakari kupumua kwako, wazo fulani, neno(s), mantra(s), kitu, mtu(s), shughuli, na kadhalika.
Kutafakari ni sehemu ya njia ya Wabuddha ya kuelimika (kuamka); hali ya Nirvana na kujitambua
Nini asili ya kutafakari?
Kutafakari, hasa Tafakari ipitayo maumbile (which is most practiced in Western society), ina asili yake katika Uhindu na Ubuddha. Kama unavyoweza kujua, Ubuddha ulitokana na Uhindu.
The oldest sacred texts that mention meditation are the Vedas. Vedas ina maana gani? Vedas maana yake ni maarifa na asili yake kutoka India ya kale.
Vedas ni nini? Vedas ni maandiko ya kale zaidi ya Uhindu. Kutoka kwa Vedas, mazoezi ya kutafakari tolewa. Katika nyakati zote, aina nyingi za kutafakari zimeendelezwa.
Upatanishi unatokana na Uhindu na umeathiri tamaduni na dini nyingi. These different cultures and religions created different forms of meditation. Hata hivyo, mizizi ya kiroho ya mazoezi ya kutafakari iko katika Uhindu.
Ni aina gani za kutafakari?
Kuna aina nyingi za kutafakari. Orodha ya aina za kutafakari ni:
- Tafakari ya kupita maumbile (hutumia mantras)
- Kutafakari kwa uchunguzi wa mwili
- Kutafakari kwa kupumua
- Tafakari
- Kutafakari kwa ngoma
- Kutafakari kwa Metta (kutafakari kwa umakini)
- Umakini kutafakari
- Fikiai kutafakari
- Hawezi kutafakari (kutafakari kwa umakini)
- Kutafakari kwa utulivu (kutafakari kwa ufahamu)
- Kutafakari kwa Vipassana (kutafakari kwa ufahamu)
- Kutafakari kwa Zen
Ni hatari gani ya kiroho ya kutafakari?
Watu wengi, wakiwemo Wakristo, are not aware of the spiritual danger of meditation. They think they can separate the religious and spiritual aspects and origin from Eastern religions and philosophies and its practices. Lakini hilo haliwezekani! Tangu dini, falsafa, na mazoea yanatokana na mambo ya kiroho. (Soma pia: Je, unaweza kutenganisha mambo ya kiroho kutoka kwa falsafa na mazoea ya Mashariki?).
Unapotafakari, you use Eastern methods that originated from pagan religions and philosophies. Njia hizi za kutafakari za Mashariki zinaundwa, maendeleo, na kuhamasishwa kwa kuelekeza na viongozi wa roho au vyombo. Viongozi hawa wa roho au vyombo kwa kweli ni roho waovu (pepo).
Unapoingia katika ulimwengu wa roho nje ya mwili (nafsi na mwili), na kutoka kwa nafsi yako utafute miunganisho katika ulimwengu wa kiroho, you enter the territory of the devil (darkness) and open yourself to evil spirits that enter your life.
Unapotafakari na kutumia mbinu za kutafakari, unaomba mbinu, ambayo awali yalitokana na pepo wachafu.
Kwa kufanya mazoezi ya mbinu za kutafakari, mnanyenyekea kwa pepo wabaya. Because you believe that when you practice these meditation techniques you find and get, what you look for and want and what is promised.
Unafuata maneno na mbinu za watu, ambao walijifungua kwa pepo wachafu. Watu ambao walifuatana na pepo wachafu na waliongozwa na roho hizi mbaya.
By submitting to these evil spirits and have communion with them, unawaruhusu katika maisha yako. Unawapa udhibiti juu ya roho na mwili wako. Kuanzia wakati huo, pepo wachafu wataingia maishani mwako.
Pepo hawa wabaya wanakutawala na kukuongoza kupitia hisia zako, mawazo, hisia, hisia, mapenzi, na mwili.
Je, ni madhara gani mabaya ya kutafakari?
Hapo mwanzo, you feel great and peaceful and experience pleasant feelings. Maybe you experienced depression, wasiwasi, worry, or stress, and by meditating, these negative and destructive feelings disappeared. At that moment you don’t see any danger of meditation, on the contrary, you experience good things.
Lakini hii itakuwa ya muda tu. Kwa sababu pepo wachafu hawasemi ukweli, lakini wanasema uongo. Pepo wabaya hawatoi kitu bure. Daima wanataka kitu kama malipo.
Walikupa (ya muda) amani badala ya nafsi yako. Since you listened to them and believed and obeyed them by practicing meditation and bowing down to them.
These evil spirits operate from your soul and start their destructive work in your life.
Unamwamini nani Mungu au shetani?
Amani nakuachia, Amani yangu nawapa: si kama ulimwengu utoavyo, nakupa wewe. Msifadhaike mioyoni mwenu, wala isiogope (Yohana 14:27)
Bibilia (Neno la Mungu) anasema, ‘Amani nawaachieni, Amani yangu nawapa”. Lakini badala ya kuamini maneno ya Mungu, Christians believe the words of evil spirits, ambayo husemwa kwa vinywa vya watu, who denied God, na kusema, “If you want to experience rest and peace in your life, then you have to bow down for me and follow these techniques and methods and I give you rest and peace.”
Lakini ukimsikiliza shetani na kumtii na kumsujudia, huwezi kupata kile anachoahidi. Kwa sababu shetani ni mwongo.
The devil wants to be the god of people. He wants the people to worship him and exhalt him. Kusudi la shetani na pepo wachafu ni kudhihirisha ufalme wa giza duniani. He can only do this through the lives of people. Therefore they try to control as many people as possible. They darken their minds, so that they don’t see the danger of meditation and fall into the trap of the devil.
Kadiri watu wanavyoamini uwongo wao, ndivyo watu wanavyozidi kuwainamia, nyenyekea kwao, na uwape udhibiti. Njia hii, wanapata nguvu zaidi na giza linaongezeka duniani. (Soma pia: Nguvu ya shetani inaendeshwa na dhambi).
Roho za kishetani zina shauku ya kutoa kile ambacho watu wa kimwili wanatamani, haja, na kuomba. As long as people yield to them and stay in the kingdom of darkness.
Ni nini matokeo ya kimwili ya kutafakari?
Mwivi haji, bali kwa kuiba, na kuua, na kuharibu: Mimi nimekuja ili wawe na uzima, na wapate kuwa nayo kwa wingi zaidi (Yohana 10:10).
The purpose of the devil and evil spirits is to steal, kuua, na kuharibu. First, the devil will give you what you asked and searched for. But this is only temporary and will change soon.
Hisia zako za furaha na amani zitabadilika. Because you were not spiritually awake and watched and didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, you shall experience the carnal result of meditation aka the negative side effects of meditation. You shall feel weird and (extremely) tired and maybe experience headaches. najisi (ngono) hisia zitaingia akilini mwako na kukusumbua.
Unaweza kupata ugumu wa kuzingatia, matatizo ya usingizi (kukosa usingizi), wasiwasi. You may experience changes in your behavior, like mood swings, kukosa subira, hasira isiyoweza kudhibitiwa, au hasira za ghafla zinazosababisha vurugu za matusi na/au tabia ya ukatili (unyanyasaji wa nyumbani).
Maybe you start hearing voices in your head, kukuelekeza nini cha kufanya.
Kupitia kutafakari, pepo wachafu wa uchafu wa ngono, uasherati, uzinzi, talaka, ibada ya sanamu, addiction, na vurugu, (ugonjwa wa akili na kimwili) ingia na udhibiti akili yako na udhihirishe katika maisha yako.
Watu wengi, who have engaged in meditation and entered the occult realm from their soul, became victims of the devil and suffer from mental illness.
What is the Danger of transcendental meditation?
Kuna watu wengi, who practiced transcendental meditation and became anxious, distressed, or depressed after (kupita maumbile) kutafakari.
Watu wengi wanakabiliwa na shida kali za kiakili, uraibu, na/au wamekuwa wajeuri wao wenyewe na wengine. Wanapambana na mawazo ya kuingilia, mawazo ya huzuni, mashambulizi ya hofu, wasiwasi, hofu, mawazo ya kujiua, au kuishia katika psychosis.
Instead of finding themselves and finding peace and happiness through transcendental meditation, walipata kinyume. Wakawa wabaya zaidi kuliko walivyokuwa kabla ya kufanya mazoezi ya kutafakari kupita kiasi
Je, tafakari ya Kikristo ipo?
Je, tafakari ya Kikristo ipo? Bila shaka hapana! Ingawa kuna wanaojiita Wakristo, wanaosema wanafanya tafakuri ya Kikristo au inayotokana na kutafakari, kama a (kutafakari) sala yenye shanga za maombi, maombi ya kutafakari, maombi ya katikati, Lectio Divina (usomaji wa kutafakari wa Biblia), Mwili wa Kikristo scans, Kimya cha Kikristo kinarudi nyuma. Lakini ukweli ni, hakuna kitu kama tafakari ya Kikristo.
Je, si ajabu, that the Bible exist for ages and suddenly in the last 20 years all kinds of strange doctrines and methods, which are copied from Eastern religions, falsafa, na new-age cults, appear and are taught and applied in churches?
If meditation were a Biblical principle and practiced, why isn’t it mentioned in the Bible and included in the Law? Je! watu wa Mungu hawangeifanya kwa miaka mingi? Ambayo sivyo. Angalau, unaposoma Biblia katika muktadha mzima na sahihi. Badala ya kuchagua na kuchagua neno au sehemu ya sentensi, ibadilishe na ujenge mafundisho yako juu yake.
Ni maombi ya kutafakari, maombi ya katikati, and lectio divina Biblical?
Maombi ya kutafakari, maombi ya katikati, na Lectio Divina ni baadhi tu ya matendo mengi ya uchawi ambayo kanisa katoliki limekuwa likitekeleza kwa muda mrefu.. Hata hivyo, we must remember, that the catholic church went astray and adopted occult practices from pagan religions, falsafa, na tamaduni, in the very early stage of Christianity. Why did the catholic church adopt paganism? The catholic church adopted paganism to attract unbelievers to the church.
Kanisa lilifanya maelewano. Matokeo yake, kanisa likawa kanisa katoliki; kanisa la uzinzi na la ulimwengu wote ambalo limejaa ibada ya sanamu, mila na desturi za uchawi, na uchafu wa zinaa.
Ibilisi alifanikiwa wakati huo kulipotosha kanisa. Na shetani bado anafanikiwa kulitongoza kanisa kwa mbinu zilezile za hila.
Kwa sababu sio tu kanisa katoliki, but almost all denominations succumbed and are defiled and influenced by the powers of darkness and became occult churches. They didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation and all other pagan doctrines and rituals. (Soma pia: Kanisa la uchawi).
Hakuna mahali popote katika Agano Jipya, tunasoma juu ya kutafakari kwa Kikristo, as practiced today. Hatusomi kwamba Yesu alitafakari. Hata hivyo, some false teachers contradict this. They say that Jesus meditated. Lakini huo ni uwongo kutoka kwenye shimo la kuzimu.
Je, Yesu alitafakari?
Yesu hakutafakari bali Yesu aliomba. Yesu alitumia muda mwingi na Baba yake katika maombi. He didn’t use carnal methods and techniques to empty His mind, kumtafuta Baba yake, become one with His Father, and have a mystical experience in His flesh (hisia na hisia), na kuona upendo Wake au kujiunganisha na ‘Nafsi Yake ya ndani’.
Yesu alijua Yeye ni nani. He lived in union with the Father through the Spirit. Yesu alijua alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu na alijua mapenzi na upendo wa Baba yake. If Jesus meditated to feel the oneness with God and experience the love of His Father in His flesh, Yesu angalienenda kwa mwili na kuongozwa na mwili. Lakini Yesu alitembea kwa imani baada ya Roho na si kwa jinsi ya mwili.
Pia hatusomi chochote kuhusu Yesu akiwaamuru wanafunzi wake kutafakari.
Yesu hakuwahi kuwaagiza wanafunzi wake kutumia mbinu na mbinu za kimwili ili ‘kufika huko’ au ‘kujiokoa’..
Hatusomi pia kwamba wanafunzi walitafakari na kutumia njia za kutafakari. Wanafunzi waliomba, ambayo ni tofauti kabisa!
Wakati wanafunzi walikuwa uumbaji wa zamani, walimwomba Yesu Kristo awafundishe jinsi ya kusali. Jesus taught them how to pray.
Katika maombi ya Yesu, the will of God and His Kingdom are the center and not (mapenzi ya) watu na sio ufalme wa kidunia wa watu.
Wanafunzi walipofanyika kiumbe kipya, hawakuhitaji mtu yeyote kuwafundisha jinsi ya kuomba. Because their spirit was raised from the dead. And the Holy Spirit, waliokaa ndani yao, aliwafundisha na kuwaelekeza katika maombi yao. Ikiwa hawakujua nini cha kuomba, Roho Mtakatifu aliwasaidia katika udhaifu wao (Warumi 8:26=27)
Yesu na wanafunzi wake waliomba
Yesu na wanafunzi walimwomba Baba. But they didn’t use all kinds of carnal techniques and methods to ‘become more spiritual’, experience carnal warm and fuzzy feelings of love or unity, au kupokea (nyenzo) baraka kwao wenyewe. They died to ‘self’; walikufa kwa mapenzi, tamaa, na tamaa za mwili. Kwa hiyo, their prayers focused on the will of God and establishing and enlarging the Kingdom of God on earth.
Lakini kwa sababu Wakristo wengi hawajazaliwa mara ya pili na si wa kiroho bali ni wa kimwili na bado ni wa kizazi cha mwanadamu aliyeanguka na ulimwengu., they are subject to the spirits of this world and don’t see the danger of meditation.
They live under the dominion of worldly spirits (elements of this world). These worldly spirits cause Christians to adopt and apply the carnal knowledge, hekima, dini, falsafa, mbinu, mbinu, na mazoea ya ulimwengu katika maisha yao.
How Christians have christianized meditation?
Ili kuhalalisha kutafakari na kufanya kutafakari kupitishwa katika kanisa, bila kujisikia hatia kwa Mungu, Wakristo wa kimwili wamemwaga mchuzi wa Wakristo wacha Mungu juu ya mazoezi ya kutafakari kwa kuweka neno 'Mkristo’ mbele ya kutafakari. Njia hii, wanaweza kujiunga na ulimwengu badala ya kutengwa.
And so Christian meditation came into being and many so-called Christians, wakiwemo wanatheolojia na viongozi wa kanisa, fanya mazoezi ya kutafakari.
Wakristo wengi hawana muda wa kuomba na kusoma na kujifunza Biblia katika muktadha mzima na sahihi (hii haimaanishi Lectio Divina). Kwa nini? Kwa sababu wanashughulika sana na maisha yao ya kila siku, (kijamii) media, (kijamii) shughuli, na burudani.
Hata hivyo, wana muda wa kutafakari. Na ikiwa hawana, wanatenga muda wa kutafakari na kuweka wazi akili zao na kuzingatia na kutafuta utu wao wa ndani na umoja na Mungu na kuwa na uzoefu wa fumbo na Mungu na kuhisi uwepo wa Mungu na hisia Zake za upendo kwao..
Mwili hautaki kutii mapenzi ya Mungu na kuomba. Lakini mwili unataka kutafakari. Hii inathibitisha kuwa mwili bado unatawala na "nafsi" bado iko hai na inakaa kwenye kiti cha uzima cha mtu..
A carnal church rejects sanctification and embraces sin
Many churches reject repentance, sanctification and the removal of sin. Kwa sababu hiyo, watu hawabadiliki bali wanakaa kimwili na kudumu katika dhambi na kuruhusu na kuidhinisha dhambi kanisani.
They reject the ubatizo wa maji and with the Holy Spirit. Pia wanakataa kunena kwa lugha, which is a commandment of Jesus Christ in the Bible. Lakini makanisa huruhusu mazoea ya Mashariki ya uchawi yanayotokana na mawazo ya kimwili ya watu, ambao waliongozwa na roho za kishetani, na wanamsujudia mungu wa dunia hii.
This proves the churches are carnal. Therefore they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation or any other occult practice. And because they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they practice meditation.
The people want short sermons and church services. So that people have more time to fellowship. Lakini kutafakari katika lotus au nafasi ya maombi ya pamoja kwenye mkeka kwenye sakafu baridi kanisani kwa saa moja sio shida..
Biblia inasema nini kuhusu kutafakari?
meditation in the Old Testament
Hakuna kutafakari kwa Biblia. Neno ‘tafakari’, katika Agano la Kale la Biblia, inarejelea ukumbusho wa sheria za Mungu, Maneno yake yanayowakilisha mapenzi yake, na kile ambacho Mungu alikuwa amefanya. So that His people knew the will of God and His acts forever.
Kwa kutafakari sheria na maneno ya Mungu, Sheria ya Mungu ingekuwa katika akili za watu wake. Kwa kuwa akili huamua kila neno na tendo, watu wa Mungu wangeishi kulingana na mapenzi ya Mungu na wangemheshimu na kumwinua kupitia utii wao kwa sheria yake.; Mapenzi yake.
Tafakari katika Biblia haikurejelea miunganisho katika ulimwengu wa kiroho, kuyachunguza mapenzi ya Mungu, na kuhisi na kuhisi uwepo wa Mungu na umoja na Mungu. Kwa kuwa Mungu alikuwa amejulisha mapenzi yake kwa watu wake kwa kutoa sheria. Lakini kutafakari katika Agano la Kale kulirejelea kumjua Mungu na mapenzi ya Mungu kwa kutafakari sheria ya Mungu..
“Hii kitabu cha torati kisiondoke kinywani mwako”
Uwe hodari tu na jasiri sana, upate kuangalia kutenda sawasawa na sheria yote, ambayo Musa mtumishi wangu alikuamuru: usiigeuke kwenda mkono wa kuume au wa kushoto, ili upate kufanikiwa kila uendako. Kitabu hiki cha torati kisiondoke kinywani mwako; lakini wewe tafakari humo mchana na usiku, ili uangalie kutenda sawasawa na yote yaliyoandikwa humo: maana ndipo utakapoifanikisha njia yako, na ndipo utapata mafanikio mazuri (Yoshua 1:7-8)
Kwa mfano, Yoshua alipaswa kutafakari juu ya sheria ya Mungu usiku na mchana. Kwa nini? Ili sheria ya Mungu, ambayo hufunua mapenzi ya Mungu, kujulikana na Joshua, ambaye alipaswa kuwaongoza watu wa Mungu.
Kama kiongozi wa watu wa Mungu, Yoshua alipaswa kujua mapenzi ya Mungu, na kutii na kuyashika mapenzi ya Mungu katika kila alichofanya. Ili Yoshua na watu wa Mungu watembee kulingana na mapenzi ya Mungu na Mungu awe pamoja naye (na watu wake) na umbariki na kuzifanikisha njia zake.
David meditated on the Law of God
Daudi aliitafakari sheria ya Mungu siku nzima. Hii haimaanishi, kwamba Daudi aliketi juu ya mkeka katika nafasi ya lotus kuelekea Mashariki siku nzima na kutafakari kimya. Hapana, ilimaanisha kwamba mapenzi ya Mungu yaliandikwa katika akili ya Daudi. Daudi alifurahi kuishi kulingana na mapenzi ya Mungu. Daudi alitumaini kwamba tafakari za moyo wake, ambayo sheria ya Mungu iliandikwa juu yake, yalikuwa yanampendeza. (Oh. Zaburi 5:1-2; 19:14; 49:3; 104:34-35;119:97-104).
Ikiwa tu watu, wanaokwenda kanisani, kusoma na kujifunza Biblia, wafanye upya nia zao kwa Neno la Mungu, na kuyatafakari mapenzi ya Mungu, kama katika Agano la Kale, wangejua mapenzi ya Mungu. Na kama wanampenda Mungu, their lives will be according to the will of God. (Soma pia: Je, unampenda Mungu kwa moyo wako wote?).
Ndipo wangemcha Bwana na kumpenda Mungu kwa moyo wao wote, akili, nafsi, na nguvu. They’d see the spiritual danger of meditation.
Wangebaki waaminifu kwa Mungu, badala ya kufanya ibada ya sanamu kwa kufuata dini na falsafa za uwongo, kupitisha mbinu zao, mbinu, matambiko, vitu na kutumikia miungu ya uongo, na kufanya mambo machafu.
Wangewapenda jirani zao kama wanavyojipenda wenyewe na hawangefanya uasherati au uzinzi na kuwataliki wenzi wao wa ndoa bali waendelee kuwa washikamanifu kwa nadhiri yao.. Hawangeiba.
Watoto hawangeasi dhidi ya wazazi wao, lakini waheshimu wazazi wao na kuwaheshimu.
“Naipenda sheria yako jinsi gani! ni kutafakari kwangu mchana kutwa”
Hawangeua, bali wengine waishi (wakiwemo watoto wachanga). Hawangesema uwongo tena, bali semeni ukweli na kuhubiri injili ya Yesu Kristo na usione haya. Na wangeridhika na kutotamani tena mali ya jirani zao.
Lakini watu hawafanyi hivyo.
Yoshua na Daudi walikuwa wa kizazi cha uumbaji wa kale (unaanguka) na sio mtu mpya, ambaye amerejeshwa na kufanywa mzima katika Kristo. Kwa hiyo, hebu tuangalie kile kilichoandikwa katika Agano Jipya kuhusu kutafakari.
meditation in the New Testament
Lakini kabla ya haya yote, wataweka mikono yao juu yako, na kukutesa, kuwapeleka ninyi kwa masinagogi, na kwenye magereza, kupelekwa mbele ya wafalme na watawala kwa ajili ya jina langu. Na itageuka kwenu kuwa ushuhuda. Basi liwekeni mioyoni mwenu, si kwa tafakari kabla mtajibu nini: Kwa maana nitakupa kinywa na hekima, ambayo watesi wenu wote hawataweza kuupinga wala kuupinga (Luka 21:12-15)
Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake, kwamba ikiwa watu waliwatesa, kuwaweka gerezani, na kuwaleta mbele ya wafalme na watawala, hawangelazimika kutafakari kabla ya kile ambacho wangejibu, kwa kuwa Yesu angewapa kinywa na hekima.
Neno ‘kutafakari’ haikuhusiana na kutafakari kwa Mashariki, which is practiced today
Mpaka nije, kuhudhuria kusoma, kuhimiza, kwa mafundisho. Usiiache karama iliyo ndani yako, uliyopewa kwa unabii, kwa kuwekewa mikono ya ukuhani. Tafakari juu ya mambo haya; jitoe kabisa kwao; ili faida yako ionekane na watu wote. Jihadhari nafsi yako, na kwa mafundisho; endelea ndani yao: maana kwa kufanya hivyo utajiokoa nafsi yako, na wale wakusikiao (1 Timotheo 4:13-16)
Paulo alimwamuru Timotheo abaki mwaminifu kwa injili yenye sauti ya Yesu Kristo. He urged Timothy to give attendance to reading, mawaidha, and doctrine. Paul commanded Timothy to take heed to himself and meditate on all that was taught and give himself to it.
Tena, the word ‘meditate’ didn’t refer to the Eastern practice of meditation. This meditation had nothing to do with the natural well-being and consciousness of people, bali mapenzi ya Yesu na mapenzi ya Baba na kuweka injili ya Yesu kuwa sawa.
“Maana haya ndiyo mapenzi ya Mungu, hata utakaso wako”
Kwa sababu kila kitu kinahusu mapenzi ya Mungu. Katika Agano la Kale, it was all about following the Law of God that represented the will of God. The Law of Moses was a teacher for God’s people that set them apart from the pagan nations and warned them and protected and kept them from the pagan knowledge, hekima, dini, falsafa, mazoea, na matambiko. Kwa sababu Mungu alitaka watu watakatifu, who separated themselves from the pagan nations who were evil and served the devil.
Mungu alitaka watu wake wajitolee kwake na wajue Mawazo yake na mapenzi yake.
Mungu alitaka watu wake watembee katika mapenzi yake na njia zake na kumpendeza, badala ya kufanya machukizo yale yale ambayo mataifa maovu ya kipagani yalifanya, ambao hawakumjua Mungu bali walitumikia miungu mingine (shetani na mapepo).
Na katika Agano Jipya, it’s about faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (lay down the sinful flesh of the Mzee na vaeni mtu mpya, ambaye anafanywa upya ufahamu kwa mfano wake yeye aliyemuumba. (Wakolosai 3:10)).
Inamaanisha kujitenga na ulimwengu (mfumo wa dunia). Following the Word of God, na kuenenda kwa Roho katika mapenzi ya Mungu.
The law of God is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man (uumbaji mpya), through the baptism with the Holy Spirit And because the law is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man, mtu mpya anatembea baada ya mapenzi ya Mungu na kumpendeza Mungu.
Hii itasababisha migogoro na mateso duniani. Kwa kuwa mtu mpya si mali ya ulimwengu tena, bali kwa Ufalme wa Mbinguni.
Meditation in the Bible referred to the will of God
Ikiwa umekuwa kiumbe kipya, unataka kumpendeza Mungu. Na ukimpendeza Mungu, unauchukiza ulimwengu na kubeba matokeo ya maisha yako mapya katika Kristo. Ikiwa huwezi kubeba matokeo ya maisha yako mapya katika Kristo, na kutaka kuufurahisha ulimwengu, ndipo utamchukiza Mungu.
Kutafakari katika Biblia kulirejelea ujuzi wa mapenzi ya Mungu, through His words in the Bible. Inarejelea kufanya mapenzi ya Mungu na ilimaanisha kumpendeza Mungu badala ya mwanadamu.
Unatafutaje utu wako wa ndani?
Katika kutafakari, lengo ni juu ya "binafsi". Wewe ndiye kituo. Ikiwa unatafakari kutafuta "ubinafsi" wako wa ndani na kupata amani na pumziko au unatafuta uzoefu wa fumbo na Mungu au kukuza kiroho., basi bado hujapata Ukweli Yesu Kristo na hujazaliwa mara ya pili.
Kwa sababu, kupitia kuzaliwa upya, nyama ya mzee, ikijumuisha ‘nafsi’ amesulubishwa katika Kristo. Kwa hiyo, unawezaje kutafuta utu wako wa ndani? Unawezaje kufanya uhusiano na ‘ubinafsi’ wako wa ndani ikiwa ‘ubinafsi’ wako umekufa katika Kristo na hauishi tena?
Je, kutafakari ni sawa na maombi?
Je, kutafakari ni sawa na maombi? Hapana, kutafakari si sawa na maombi. Na ni kuhusu wakati, watu hao, who say they are Christians and claim to be born again and know God, stop with all this junk, repent of their sinful practices, and become aware of the spiritual danger of meditation.
Meditation focuses on ‘self’. Inazingatia uboreshaji wa "binafsi", uboreshaji wa "ubinafsi" wako, na ukombozi wa "binafsi", kwa lengo kuu la kufikia hali ya kuelimika; nirvana
Kutafakari ni sehemu ya njia nane katika Ubuddha na inazingatia "ubinafsi". Mbinu na mbinu zote ni za kujikomboa. Badala ya kumfanya mtu awe na amani na upendo zaidi, humfanya mtu kuwa mbinafsi zaidi.
Prayer focus not on ‘self’. Lakini sala inakazia Yesu Kristo na Ufalme Wake. You are reconciled with God the Father and have access to the Father, through Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him. Kwa hiyo, unaweza kuomba moja kwa moja kwa Baba. Ni pendeleo lililoje!
Sio lazima kufuata kila aina ya mbinu na njia za maombi ili kufika hapo. Kwa sababu kwa kuzaliwa upya katika Kristo, tayari upo.
Why the devil wants Christians to stop praying and start meditating?
Maombi ni ushirika na Baba kupitia Yesu Kristo. Prayer is a spiritual weapon in the spiritual war. Licha ya Neno, maombi ni muhimu sana katika vita vya kiroho kati ya Ufalme wa Mungu na giza.
Ibilisi anajua umuhimu wa maombi. Kwa hiyo ana lengo moja nalo ni kufanya maombi ya dhati yawe vuguvugu na kuyaondoa. The devil seduces everyone in the flesh (nafsi na mwili) kwa sababu hilo ni eneo lake.
As long as Christians stay carnal and walk after the flesh, their carnal mind will not discern the spirits, and not see the danger of meditation and fall into his trap. Wataamini uongo wake, nyenyekea kwake, na kuomba kidogo, au hata kuacha kuomba na kuacha mikutano ya maombi. And because many don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they start meditating.
Meditation is not under attack but promoted.
Tena, watu hawataki kuinama na kupiga magoti kanisani kumwomba Mungu. Lakini kwa kutafakari kwa Kikristo, wana hamu ya kutandaza mkeka wao na kuinama na kuchukua msimamo wao na kuzingatia 'ubinafsi' na kutumia mantra ya Kikristo. (Maneno ya Kikristo, kama Mungu, Yesu, Maranatha, na kadhalika.) kupumzika na kupata hisia za kupendeza, ambayo wanafikiri yanatoka kwa Mungu, huku katika hali halisi, hisia hizi hutoka kwa mungu wa dunia hii; shetani.
Many Christians are misled and tempted by the new age spirit that revolves around ‘self’
Kanisa la Yesu Kristo ni fujo, kutokana na shida ya kiroho roho ya zama mpya iliyosababishwa. Makanisa mengi yamemkataa Roho Mtakatifu, Neno Hai; Yesu Kristo Mwana wa Mungu, na hata Mungu Baba. Watu wamechukua mahali pa Mungu katika kanisa.
Lengo si tena kwa Yesu Kristo na kufanya mapenzi yake (mapenzi ya Baba) and pleasing Jesus Christ and the Father. Lakini lengo ni juu ya 'binafsi' na uzoefu usio wa kawaida, hisia, ishara, and wonders and pleasing ‘self’.
Wakristo wengi wanapenda maisha yao ya kimwili. Wanataka kuhifadhi maisha yao na hawako tayari kuyatoa maisha yao wenyewe katika Kristo.
Kwa sababu hiyo, wanatumia kila aina ya mbinu za kimwili, mbinu, na njia za asili za kuingia katika ulimwengu wa kiroho na kupata madhihirisho ya nguvu isiyo ya kawaida, hisia, na hisia katika miili yao.
By applying occult techniques and methods, wanajaribu kuwa kitu kimoja na Mungu na kumhisi. Badala ya kuchukua Biblia na kupata kujua mapenzi ya Mungu na kujisalimisha kwake na kufanya mapenzi yake katika maisha yao.
Kwa sababu ya tabia hii, Wakristo wengi wamepotoshwa. Many Christians move into the occult and allow evil spirits to inspire them. Wanawasiliana na roho hao wabaya wa giza wanaojifanya kuwa Yesu, Roho Mtakatifu, na hata Mungu Baba.
Wanafikiri wao ni wa kiroho na wanampendeza Mungu, huku katika hali halisi, mungu pekee wanayempendeza ni shetani.
What are the signs of Christians moving into the occult?
Unajuaje wakati Wakristo wanahamia katika uchawi? Baadhi ya ishara zinazoonekana kwamba Wakristo wanahamia katika uchawi ni uchovu, kukosa usingizi, matatizo ya akili, hasira, na hasa uchafu wa zinaa.
Kama Kanisa la Yesu Kristo, unapaswa kukaa ndani ya mfumo wa Biblia na kukataa kila fundisho geni au uzushi, hiyo inatokana na hekima ya kimwili, maarifa, maoni, matokeo, hisia, na uzoefu, wanaokengeuka kutoka kwa Neno la Mungu.
Kanisa linapaswa kujaribu roho
Mpendwa, msiiamini kila roho, bali zijaribuni hizo roho kwamba zimetokana na Mungu: kwa sababu manabii wengi wa uongo wametokea duniani (1 Yohana 4:1)
Neno linasema, kwamba tunapaswa kuzijaribu roho kama zimetokana na Mungu. Many people possess a spirit that pretends to be Jesus or the Holy Spirit, while in reality is an evil spirit that belongs to the kingdom of darkness. Pepo huyu mwovu hudanganya na kumweka mtu katika utumwa na kuhakikisha mtu huyo anabaki kuwa mtu wa kimwili, keeps doing the works of the flesh, and perseveres in sin.
Na makanisa mengi yanaruhusu roho, wanaokubali na kuendeleza dhambi, kumkana Mungu Muumba wa mbingu na ardhi, na kuchukua dini za kipagani, falsafa, matambiko, mbinu, na kuwapotosha Waumini na kuwafanya wawe vuguvugu na wapuuze kwa ajili ya Mwenyezi Mungu na Ufalme wake.
Kanisa linapaswa kuhubiri injili ya kweli ya Yesu Kristo tena
Lakini ni wakati wa injili ya kweli ya Yesu Kristo, msalaba, Damu yake, toba, na utakaso utahubiriwa tena.
Ni wakati ambapo mwili wa mzee unakufa. That the spirit of the new man rises from the dead and puts off the works of the old man. Kwahivyo, a real revival takes place and the Church becomes awake and alive
It’s time that believers take their Bible. Fill and renew their minds with the Word of God. So that they get to know the will of God, kuishi kulingana na mapenzi ya Mungu, na kuwa mashahidi wa Yesu Kristo duniani. Instead of emptying their minds, turn off their minds through meditation and become a channel of evil spirits.
It’s time that Christians wake up and see the spiritual danger of meditation and remove the practice of meditation from their lives.
Ni wakati wa kukabiliana na wasiomcha Mungu, wenye dhambi, with their evil works and make the danger of meditation and other occult practices known to them and call them to repentance. Instead of compromising and condone their sins and joining them and glorifying the devil and the unclean spirits of the kingdom of darkness.
Basi tubuni dhambi zenu. Ondoa mazoea haya ya uchawi ya zama mpya na dini za Mashariki kutoka kwa maisha yako. Be redeemed through Christ and become a new creation in Christ and enter His rest (Waebrania 4).
Soma na ujifunze Biblia. Fanya upya nia yako kwa maneno ya Mungu. Kwahivyo, unapata kumjua Yesu na Baba na mapenzi yao na kumtumikia Mungu. Instead of listening to the voice of your carnal will, hisia, hisia, tamaa, na matamanio. Na kupitia mwili wako mtumikie shetani na roho mbaya ya kidunia na uishi utumwani gizani.
Je, kutafakari ni dhambi?
Unaweza kutafakari maneno ya kidini, sehemu za Maandiko, Mungu, Yesu, au Roho Mtakatifu. But that doesn’t make any difference to the heathen practice of meditation, ambayo unafanya mazoezi, na kushiriki kwako katika ulimwengu wa roho pamoja na pepo wabaya.
You can think what you want and make yourself believe that there is no danger of meditation. You can manipulate your thoughts and feelings, but that doesn’t change the truth and the danger of meditation or make the practice of meditation right.
Je, kutafakari ni dhambi? Kutafakari ni njia ya kipagani inayotokana na Uhindu, ambayo ni chukizo kwa Mungu. Daima itabaki kuwa chukizo kwa Mungu. Kwa hiyo kutafakari ni dhambi, licha ya maoni ya watu.
Je, unatafuta pumziko na amani?
Kama mimi, ninyi nyote msumbukao na kulemewa na mizigo, nami nitawapumzisha. Jitieni nira yangu, na ujifunze kwangu; kwa maana mimi ni mpole na mnyenyekevu wa moyo: nanyi mtapata raha nafsini mwenu. Kwa maana nira yangu ni rahisi, na mzigo wangu ni mwepesi (Mathayo 11:28-30)
Meditation doesn’t give you and everlasting rest and peace. Kutafakari sio njia ya ukombozi. It is not the way to salvation. Kuna Mtu mmoja tu, who can give you everlasting rest and peace and save you and that is Jesus Christ, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai!
Jesus Christ took all your sins and iniquities upon Him and died on the cross and entered Kuzimu (hell). After three days, Jesus rose from the dead as Victor with the keys of hell and death.
Yesu alimpa kila mtu nafasi ya kukombolewa kutoka katika asili ya dhambi ya utu wa kale (unaanguka) na kuwa mtu mpya kwa njia ya imani na kuzaliwa upya ndani yake na kupatanishwa na Mungu. (Soma pia: Nini maana ya kweli ya msalaba?)
How to repent of meditation?
If are a Christian and you were not aware of the danger of meditation and practiced meditation and you experience demonic influences in your life (personal life, ndoa, family life), then all you have to do is ask forgiveness and repent of your sins and renounce your sins and command every evil spirit to leave your life in the Name of Jesus.
If you are not Christian, but you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you and is risen from the death and brought salvation, so that you could be delivered from the power of the devil and darkness, then all you have to do is turn to Christ and ask Him to come into your life. Repent of your sins and your old life as a sinner and become born again in Christ through the death of the flesh and the resurrection of your spirit from the dead (ubatizo) and be reconciled with God by the blood of Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit.
Unawezaje kupata amani ya Mungu katika maisha yako?
I you are a born-again Christians, then you don’t have to look for peace. Sio lazima kutumia kila aina ya mbinu za kimwili, mbinu, and use natural means to get what you want, kama katika dini na falsafa za kipagani. Kwa sababu kwa imani na kuzaliwa upya katika Yesu Kristo na kwa damu yake, tayari upo (nafasi iliyorejeshwa katika Kristo).
Ukizaliwa mara ya pili una amani ya Mungu, ambayo hupita ufahamu wote, inside of you. Kwa sababu ya Ufalme wa Mungu, iliyo ndani yako, ni uadilifu, amani, and joy through the Holy Ghost.
Kama huna amani maishani mwako, bado hujapata Ukweli. Ikiwa haujapata Ukweli, ni wakati wa kutafuta Ukweli (Soma pia: Ikiwa umepata Ukweli, mbona bado unatafuta?).
