Kuna Wakristo wengi, ambao hawana uzoefu wa maisha ya ushindi lakini maisha ya kushindwa na kujiuliza nini wanafanya vibaya. Labda wewe ni mmoja wao na unashangaa, kwanini huoni ushindi katika maisha yako? Je, umechoka kutumia kila aina ya mbinu na mbinu bila matokeo yoyote? Hebu tuangalie Biblia inasema nini kuhusu ushindi na kuishi maisha ya ushindi na nini unapaswa kufanya ili kupata ushindi maishani..
Kukombolewa kutoka kwa ufalme wa giza
Kabla yako akazaliwa mara ya pili, ulikuwa mtumwa wa shetani na ulienenda sawasawa na mapenzi yake; mapenzi ya mwili wako. Uliongozwa na mwili wako na kutawaliwa na hisia zako, huku ukiishi gizani.
Mpaka Yesu alipokuja maishani mwako na ukatubu dhambi yako. Yesu alikutoa gizani na kukupeleka katika Ufalme wa Mungu, ndani ya Nuru (Soma pia: Wito wa toba).
Hisia zako, mapenzi, mawazo, hisia, hisia, tamaa, tamaa, na kadhalika. alikuamuru la kufanya.
Wakati nafsi yako na nyama yako zilipokuwa hai, roho yako ilikuwa imekufa.
Damu ya Yesu ilikusafisha kutoka kwa dhambi na maovu yako yote.
Kwa Yesu’ kazi ya ukombozi na kwa damu yake, ulifanywa kuwa mwenye haki na mtakatifu.
Hukufanywa kuwa mtakatifu na mwenye haki kwa sababu ya yale uliyofanya na matendo yako, bali kwa kazi iliyokamilika ya Yesu Kristo.
Kwa damu ya Yesu, umeingia katika Agano Jipya. Kupitia Kristo, umepatanishwa na Baba na umekuwa mwana wa Mungu na raia wa Ufalme wa Mbinguni..
Ya kale yamepita, mambo yote yamekuwa mapya
Kwa imani katika Yesu Kristo na kwa kuzaliwa mara ya pili katika roho, umekuwa mwana wa Mungu Mwenyezi; Muumba wa mbingu na ardhi. Unaweza kumwita Mungu Baba yako, kwa sababu katika Yesu Kristo mmepokea Roho wake. Amekuwa Baba yenu, nawe umekuwa mwanawe (hii inatumika kwa wanaume na wanawake).
asili ya Mungu; Roho Mtakatifu anakaa ndani yako. Mungu amekupa nguvu kupitia Yesu Kristo ili uwe mwana wa Mungu na kutembea kama mwana wa Mungu, baada ya mapenzi yake.
Lakini wengi kama walivyompokea, kwao walimpa nguvu ya kuwa wana wa Mungu, Hata wale wanaoliamini jina lake: ambao walizaliwa, Sio kwa damu, wala kwa mapenzi ya mwili, wala mapenzi ya mwanadamu, Lakini kwa Mungu (Yohana 1:12-13)
Kumjua Baba yako kupitia Neno
Yote inategemea kumjua Baba yako. Unaweza tu kumjua Baba kupitia Yesu Kristo; neno. Hakuna njia nyingine ya kumjua Mungu isipokuwa kwa Neno Lake.
Unapochukua Neno Lake; Biblia, na kusoma na kujifunza maneno Yake, wewe utakuwa fanya upya akili yako; namna yako ya kufikiri.
Unapofanya upya nia yako na kuyatumia maneno yake maishani mwako, mtaenenda sawasawa na Neno lake kwa Roho.
Unapojifunza Neno la Mungu, mtajua mapenzi ya Mungu ni nini naWewe ni nani ndani Yake.
Utapata kile ambacho umerithi katika Yesu Kristo. Sizungumzii pesa au vitu vya kimwili, lakini nazungumza juu ya Roho Mtakatifu.
Ilimradi ubaki ujinga ukabaki mtoto, urithi uliopewa hautakufaidisha chochote. Bado utakuwa mtumishi badala ya kutembea katika mamlaka kama mwana wa Mungu.
Sasa nasema, Kwamba mrithi, Kwa muda mrefu kama yeye ni mtoto, haitofautiani na mtumishi, Ingawa yeye ni Bwana wa wote (Wagalatia 4:1)
Wewe ni mrithi mwenza katika Yesu Kristo
Umekuwa mrithi mwenza katika Yesu Kristo. Umepokea Roho wa Mungu: Roho Mtakatifu. Anaishi ndani yako. Umekuwa kiumbe kipya, aina mpya. Hata wewe unaishi hapa duniani, Wewe si wa ulimwengu huu tena. Hutakuwa tena mtumwa wa giza na kutawaliwa na mwili wako. Lakini mmekuwa mtumwa wa Kristo na mtaenenda kwa Roho.
Hauko tena chini ya utawala wa shetani na malaika zake, Lakini wewe ni Kukaa katika Yesu Kristo katika maeneo ya mbinguni, kuwa na mamlaka juu yao.
Lakini mradi husomi Neno Lake, utabaki bila kujua nafasi yako mpya na mapenzi ya Mungu na kile alichokupa. Kama hujui umepewa nini, huwezi kutembea ndani yake.
Unaposoma Biblia mara kwa mara tu na usitumie maneno katika maisha yako, basi maneno yatabaki tu kuwa maneno yaliyoandikwa na kamwe hayatakuwa hai ndani yako. Hutazaa tunda la Roho, bali wataendelea kuzaa matunda ya mwili.
Lakini unapojilisha Neno la Mungu, fanya upya nia yako kwa maneno yake, na kunena maneno Yake na kuyatumia maneno Yake maishani mwako, utaenenda katika Neno lake, nawe utakomaa kiroho na kutembea kama mwana wa Mungu katika mapenzi yake.
Yesu amekupa uwezo wa kutembea kama mwana wa Mungu
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God (Yohana 5:17-18)
It is not just something, to call yourself a son of God. When Jesus called God, Baba yake, the Jews became so angry with Jesus, that they wanted to kill Jesus. Yesu alimwita Mungu, Baba yake, and therefore Jesus made Himself equal with God.
Think about that for a minute, because that’s really something. God has made you, katika Yesu Kristo, equal to Him.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. Ambaye alimjua, Pia alijaribu kuambatana na picha ya mtoto wake, kwamba anaweza kuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza kati ya ndugu wengi (Warumi 8:28-29)
Fanya upya katika roho ya akili yako; Na kwamba wewe kuweka juu ya mtu mpya, ambayo baada ya Mungu kuumbwa kwa haki na utakatifu wa kweli (Waefeso 4:23-24)
Na kuvaa mtu mpya, unaofanywa upya upate ufahamu sawasawa na mfano wake yeye aliyemuumba: ambapo hakuna Mgiriki wala Myahudi, Kutahiriwa wala kutokutahiriwa, Barbarian, Scythian, dhamana wala bure: Kristo ni kila kitu, na katika yote (Wakolosai 3:10-11)
You live in Jesus Christ and have been made in His image, which means that you should be and walk like Jesus and do the works that Jesus did, when He walked on this earth. Ndiyo, Jesus even said, that you will do greater things, Kwa sababu alikwenda kwa baba.
Hakika, hakika, Nawaambia, He that believes on me, kazi nizifanyazo mimi yeye naye atazifanya; na kubwa kuliko hizo atafanya; Kwa sababu mimi huenda kwa baba yangu (Yohana 14:12)
That’s what Jesus promised us, Kwa sababu alikwenda kwa baba, and is now seated at His right hand. He overcame the devil. He bound the strong man, now it’s up to you, what you’re gonna do with this victory.
A child is subjected to powers
As long as you stay carnal and keep walking after the flesh instead of the Spirit, you shall stay a child and shall not grow up into His sonship.
When you stay a child, you shall be subjected to the powers and forces of the darkness. You shall not be able to rule over the powers of darkness and have victory over sin, because you are carnal and operate from your flesh in your own power (Soma pia: Chukua mamlaka juu ya mawazo yako kabla hayajachukua mamlaka juu yako!).
But when you take your position in the Word, katika Yesu Kristo, na kuenenda kwa Roho, only then you shall reign in Christ, in His authority over sin and the powers of darkness; over all demonic forces and powers, and elements of the world. Wakati wewe walk in the dominion of Jesus Christ, you shall have victory in life.
The devil tries to keep Christians asleep
The devil and his minions are adversaries of God and they know that as soon as believers become born again and start walking in the authority of Jesus Christ after the Spirit, they become a threat and a danger for his kingdom. Therefore the adversaries of God try everything they can to keep Christians asleep.
They keep Christians asleep through their ignorance and by keeping them away from the Word of God.
The devil knows that the Word of God is dangerous for his kingdom, because the Word is alive and quick, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword (Oh. Waefeso 6:17, Waebrania 4:12).
Therefore the devil and his minions use many distractions, cares of life, and sources of entertainment, like television, Kubahatisha, sinema, ukumbi wa michezo, musicals, Vilabu, michezo, social gatherings, Vyombo vya habari vya kijamii, na kadhalika.
But not only do they use these sources, to keep them distracted, away from the Word, and keep them in carnal bondage. They also use wrong doctrines in the church, to deceive many (Soma pia: ‘Mafundisho ya uwongo ambayo ni matusi kwa Mungu‘).
They shall do EVERYTHING they can, to bring Christians on the wrong track of life. The devil and his minions have many tactics.
Ndiyo maana ni muhimu sana achana na yule mzee na kwa vaeni mtu mpya na kuenenda kwa Roho, so that you will be able to discern these ‘dangers’. The Holy Spirit will always expose these dangers. He will show you what is behind the natural realm.
Sasa nasema, that the heir, Kwa muda mrefu kama yeye ni mtoto, haitofautiani na mtumishi, Ingawa yeye ni Bwana wa wote, Lakini iko chini ya wakufunzi na magavana hadi wakati uliowekwa wa baba (Wagalatia 4:1)
As long as you stay a child, na kutembea baada ya mwili, you shall not differ anything from a servant. Therefore you shall not be able to walk as a son. Because a child is subjected to the spirits of this world. That’s why it’s so important to grow up fast and start walking as a son, so that you will reign over the darkness, instead of the darkness reigning over you. Kama mwana wa Mungu, it’s your task to represent and bring the Kingdom of God on this earth.
How do you spiritually mature?
By believing the Word of God, studying His Word, and applying His words in your life. Roho Mtakatifu ndiye Mwalimu wako. He shall teach you into all truth. When you take the words of God and plant them in your life as seeds, you should guard them and protect them, so that no one will rob these seeds from you.
Guard and protect the seeds in your heart, and don’t let any doubt enter your heart. Meditate on the Word of God, Usiku na mchana, so that you become steadfast in the Word.
Your way of thinking should be renewed, so that your way of thinking is in line with the Word of God. If you have the mind of Christ, you shall think the way God thinks, and do the things that God wants you to do. Unapofanya Mapenzi yake, you shall please Him and exalt Him.
When you are going through a hard time, take the words of God into your mouth, and speak against situations, hatari, mawazo, Ugonjwa, ugonjwa, na kadhalika. Usikate tamaa, and you shall experience victory.
How to have victory in life?
You will have victory in life, when you become a doer of the Word and build yourself up in the faith. Persevere and don’t give up!
At this point, many Christians fail, because they often do give up. Ibilisi anajua hili, so he shall strive a little bit longer in order to gain victory. The devil knows that immature Christians walk after the flesh and are sense-ruled. Kwa hiyo, when Christians don’t see anything happening in the natural realm, they will eventually give up instead of persevering.
Many Christians are often not disciplined and stay ignorant. When they hear a sermon, or attend a seminar, they are passionate, and all fired up, ready to win the whole world for Jesus Christ. But as soon as there comes opposition, wanakata tamaa.
Therefore persevere and don’t give up. Stand on the Word, and keep speaking the Word. You know one thing for sure, and that’s that you shall win! Because Jesus has the victory. Kadiri unavyokaa ndani ya Yesu Kristo, you will be seated in Him and shall have victory in Jesus Christ.
