Nguvu za Mungu za Kulinda

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

Isaya anatumia mfano wa ndege ili kuonyesha uwezo wa Mungu wa kuwalinda watu wake. “Kama ndege warukao, ndivyo Bwana wa majeshi atakavyoulinda Yerusalemu. Akitetea, ataitoa pia; akivuka, ataihifadhi” (Isaya 31:5, NKJV). Maana ya Kiebrania ya mstari huu ni “Kama vile ndege warukavyo juu ya makinda yao, ndivyo BWANA, Mungu wa majeshi, atakavyokunjua mbawa zake juu ya Yerusalemu.”

Mungu aliwaambia Israeli, “Kama unataka kulindwa dhidi ya mashambulizi ya adui, basi jifiche chini ya mbawa zangu. Nitakulinda, nitakufunika kama kuku afunikavyo vifaranga vyake. Hutakiwi tena kuishi kwa kuogopa adui zako.”

Je, uko kwenye vita kubwa hivi sasa? Je, unakabiliana na adui ambaye ana nguvu sana kwako? Ikiwa ndivyo, unatarajiaje kubaki msafi, mwaminifu na kama Kristo huku wengine wanaokuzunguka wakianguka? Utapataje ushindi juu ya tamaa na majaribu yako Shetani atakapokuja juu yako kama simba angurumaye?

Mungu anauliza kwa urahisi kwamba uweke chini upanga wako na kumwamini yeye kuchukua upanga wake kwa niaba yako. Anataka ufike mahali useme, “Bwana, najua vita si vyangu tena. Nimeshindwa mara nyingi sana. Sasa, ninakuja kwako kwa imani rahisi. Nisaidie, Mungu.”

Bwana anakuhimiza kushikamana naye katikati ya vita yako. Ushindi wako ni suala la imani katika uwezo wake na nia ya kukukomboa. Adui akishakuzidiwa, njoo kwake na kumwaga nafsi yako. Mtafuteni Bwana kwa moyo wenu wote, naye atakwenda vitani kwa ajili yenu.

Vita sio vyetu kamwe. Daima ni ya Bwana!

“Kwa manyoya yake atakufunika, na chini ya mbawa zake utakimbilia; ukweli wake utakuwa ngao na kigao chako. Hutaogopa hofu ya usiku, wala mshale urukao mchana” (Zaburi 91:4-5).
