Nini maana ya Wakolosai 1:12, Kutoa shukrani kwa Baba, ambayo imetustahilisha kuwa sehemu ya urithi wa watakatifu katika nuru?
Knowing the will of the Father
When you know the will of the Father and walk according to His will, you’ll walk worthy of the Lord. You will be fruitful in every good work.
Your knowledge of God will increase. You’ll be strengthened with all of His might, kulingana na uweza wake wa utukufu, unto all patience and uvumilivu wa muda mrefu while you being furaha and giving thanks unto the Father.
Why you should be giving thanks unto the Father?
You should be giving thanks unto the Father because He made you a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. Kila siku, you should be thankful, for all that the Father has done and for all the things that He has given you.
God made a way for everyone to come to Him, be reconciled with Him, na kuwa mwana wa Mungu. Yeye gave His only Son, Yesu Kristo, so that through- na ndani yake, many more sons would be born.
The Father sowed His Son and reaped (and still reaps) many sons (wanaume na wanawake). Wana, who are born again in Christ by the power of His Holy Spirit. Je! hiyo si ya ajabu!
Unapokuwa mwana wa Mungu, you become a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light. You have received His Holy Spirit and Word. Sasa, you can walk in the inheritance of the saints in the sphere of the light.
God has given you everything!
He gave you all things to become like your Lord Jesus Christ and to walk like Him (Oh. Yohana 14:12-13, Warumi 8:2).
Kwa hiyo, you should be giving thanks unto the Father, instead of complaining about your problems and that things don’t go according to your will or your plans. (Soma pia: Je! Ikiwa mapenzi ya Mungu sio mapenzi yako?).
Kumbuka, God hates complaining and murmuring.
God hates the evil of murmuring and complaining against Him
When God redeemed His carnal people from the bondage of Pharaoh from Egypt and gave His people everything they needed, the people were still not satisfied.
They kept complaining and murmuring all the time. And you know how God felt about that and what happened to them, don’t you?
Nitavumilia hadi lini mkutano huu mbaya, ambayo yananinung'unikia Mimi? Nimesikia manung'uniko ya wana wa Israeli, ambayo wananinung'unikia Mimi. Sema nao, Kwa kweli ninavyoishi, asema Bwana, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, ndivyo nitakavyokutendea: Mizoga yenu itaanguka katika jangwa hili (Nambari 14:27-29)
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer (1 Wakorintho 10:10)
Stop complaining and start giving thanks unto the Father in your situation
Therefore stop complaining about your problems to God and/or to other people. Complaining won’t solve the problem, it will only make it worse. Badala yake, speak to the problem and tell it what you want it to do.
Wakati huo huo, no matter what situation you are in or what problem you are facing, you should always be giving thanks unto the Father, for all that He has done. (Soma pia: Shukrani za wana wa Mungu).
Nini maana ya Wakolosai 1:12?
Kutoa shukrani kwa Baba, ambayo imetustahilisha kuwa sehemu ya urithi wa watakatifu katika nuru (Wakolosai 1:12)
God gave you everything in Christ Jesus to walk holy and righteous as a son of God and to be an overcomer in this world. This inheritance of the saints is so precious.
How do you know what you inherited? If you are curious about what exactly it is, what you have inherited, then the only thing you have to do is to open the Word of God.
When you open, Soma, na kujifunza Biblia; Neno la Mungu, utagundua wewe ni nani hasa katika Kristo, and what you have been given in Him; urithi wa watakatifu katika nuru.
