Mumzinda wa mu Africa muno wodzaza ndi moyo, bungwe la Global Christian Forum (GCF) limasonkhanitsa Akhristu ochokera m’mayiko oposa 50 komanso ochokera m’mabanja onse a mipingo. Wochokera ku Ghana, mlembi wake wamkulu Mwachitsanzo, Essamuah ikufotokoza kuti GCF ikufuna kupatsa akhristu mwayi wodziwa ndi kulandira mphatso zomwe Mzimu Woyera wayika m'mipingo yosiyanasiyana. “Ndi danga la kukumana kwakuya kwa chikhulupiriro.

Dziko liyenera kuona Akhristu ali limodzi
Msonkhanowu umayamba mu malo opembedzera a Ridge Church, mpingo waukulu wamitundu yonse. Kwaya imatsogolera mpingo poimba nyimbo za miyambo yosiyanasiyana. Kulalikira kumaperekedwa ndi Lydia Neshangwe, m’busa wachinyamata, woyang’anira mpingo wa Presbyterian Church of Zimbabwe. Chokumana nacho chake cha tchalitchi chimadzinenera chokha: “Ndinabadwira m’tchalitchi chodziimira. Ndikuthokoza Apentekoste amene anandipatsa maziko abwino a chikhulupiriro changa, ku Tchalitchi cha Katolika chimene chinandiphunzitsa m’masukulu ake. Kenako ndinatsatira maphunziro a zamulungu ndi Apresbateria. Koma Tchalitchi chimene ndimakonda kwambiri ndi cha Methodist, chomwe chinandipatsa mwamuna!”
Pofuna kusonyeza kufunika koona kuti mitundu yathu yosiyanasiyana ndi yothandizana, iye atengera chitsanzo cha Paulo ndi Baranaba. Anapeza zosiyana khumi ndi zitatu pakati pawo; Kutheka kuti kugawanikana pakati pawo Kudali kwakukulu, Koma adatumidwa pamodzi. N’chifukwa chiyani mzimu woyera unawasonkhanitsa pamodzi pamene anali osiyana kwambiri, monga mmene buku la Machitidwe a Atumwi limasonyezera? ( 13.1:2-XNUMX )
Chimodzimodzinso ndi Mipingo yathu. Iwo ndi osiyana kwambiri, koma Mzimu Woyera amatibweretsa pamodzi ndi kutitumiza kunja kuti dziko lapansi lidziwe kuti Khristu ndi ndani. “Ngati tili ogwirizana mu utumiki wathu wolalikira Khristu, kusiyana kwathu ndi dalitso, osati temberero. Izi ndi zomwe dziko likufunikira," adatero.
Kuti tiwonetsere kusiyana kodabwitsa kwa Chikhristu chapadziko lonse, katswiri wa zaumulungu wa ku America Gina A. Zurlo zikusonyeza kuti yasamukira kummwera.

Gawani ulendo wathu wa chikhulupiriro
Pamtima pa njira ya Forum ndikugawana "maulendo achikhulupiriro" m'magulu ang'onoang'ono a anthu opitilira khumi. Chinthu chokha chimene tiyenera kuchita ndi kumvera zimene Mzimu akufuna kutiuza kudzera mu ulendo wa ena ndi Khristu. Mu mphindi zisanu ndi ziwiri! Rosemarie Bernard, mlembi wa World Methodist Council, akulongosola kuti: “Kuwona Kristu mwa ena ndicho cholinga cha ntchito imeneyi. Lolani Mzimu Woyera atsogolere mawu athu ndikumvetsera mwachidwi nkhani za ena. »
Jerry Pillay, mlembi wamkulu wa Bungwe la World Council of Churches, amawona kugawana kumeneku kwa nkhani zathu zaumwini za chikhulupiriro kukhala “chojambula chokongola kwambiri.” Zili ngati “msewu wopita ku Emau” kumene mitima imayaka ndi chilakolako cha Khristu. “Kumvera limodzi mawu a M’busa, kuzindikira ndi kuchita zinthu pamodzi kumalimbitsanso chidaliro chathu mu mphamvu yosintha ya Mulungu. Dziko limene lili m’mavuto likufunika kuti Akhristu azigwirizana.”
Aka ndi kachisanu ndikuchita izi. Chipatso chake ndi, nthawi iliyonse, chisangalalo chachikulu chomwe chidzakhazikitsa kamvekedwe ka kukumana. Kugaŵana kumeneku kumadzetsa ubwenzi wauzimu umene umatithandiza kuchitira umboni pamtima pa chikhulupiriro chathu chofanana.
Maubwenzi a mission
Billy Wilson, pulezidenti wa World Pentecostal Fellowship, akunena kuti ali woyamikira kuti Achipentekoste - banja la tchalitchi lomwe likukula mofulumira kwambiri - akulandiridwa pafupi ndi tebulo la GCF. Motero amaphunzira kudziwa bwino mipingo ina. Anaganizira kwambiri chaputala 17 cha uthenga wabwino wa Yohane 17 , pamene Yesu akupempherera mgwirizano. Malingana ndi iye, mgwirizanowu uli pamwamba pa ubale wonse. Kenako zimazindikirika mu utumwi: “kuti dziko lapansi lidziwe ndi kukhulupirira”. Pomaliza, ndi zauzimu, monga maunansi pakati pa anthu a Utatu.
“Ngati maubale athu satsogolera ku utumwi, mgwirizano wathu utha. Chiyembekezo chathu chimachokera ku Manda opanda kanthu pa Isitala. Bwaloli litigwirizanitse m’njira yatsopano kuti tibweretse Yesu woukitsidwayo ku m’badwo uno,” anamaliza motero.
Madzulo, katswiri wa zaumulungu wa evangelical waku Latin America Ruth Padilla Deborst amabweretsa kusinkhasinkha pa Yohane 17 , pamene akugogomezera udindo wathu wofunafuna umodzi m’chikondi, umene umasonyeza chimene Mulungu ali m’chowonadi. “Chikondi si maganizo koma kudzipereka kotheratu kugonjerana. Umu ndi mmene tidzatumizidwa kuti anthu onse adziwe chikondi cha Mulungu.” Mofanana ndi wokamba nkhani wam’mbuyomo, iye akuumirira kuti umodzi suli mathero mwa iwo wokha koma umboni wosonyeza. Komabe, umboni umenewu ndi wodalirika ngati tili limodzi m’dziko lophwanyikali kuti lidziwe chikondi cha Mulungu.
Tsiku limatha ndikugawana katatu. Choyamba, pa lemba la Baibulo ili, ndiye pakati pa mabanja a Tchalitchi, ndipo potsiriza pakati pa anthu ochokera ku kontinenti imodzi. Tsiku lotsatira tidzapita ku Cape Coast, malo achitetezo kumene akapolo mamiliyoni atatu anatumizidwa mwankhanza ku America.
