Ni jambo moja kuamini katika Mungu wetu mkuu, lakini ni jambo lingine kabisa kumwachia Mungu mapambano yetu na kuacha kuwa na wasiwasi. Hebu tuanze na somo letu la leo! 🙏

1️⃣ Hebu tuzungumzie kwanza juu ya wasiwasi. Tunapojikuta tukiwa na wasiwasi, mara nyingi tunakosa amani na furaha. Tunashikwa na hofu na shaka, na hili linaweza kutunyima nguvu na ujasiri wa kufanya mambo ambayo Mungu ametuita kuyafanya.

2️⃣ Lakini hebu tuelewe kuwa Mungu wetu wa upendo hana nia mbaya kwetu. Yeye anataka tuishi katika amani na furaha tele. Kwa hiyo, tunapokuwa na wasiwasi, tunapaswa kumwachia Mungu hali hiyo na kumwamini kuwa atatutatulia.

3️⃣ Imani ni muhimu sana katika kuachilia wasiwasi wetu. Imani ni kuamini kwa hakika kwamba Mungu wetu ni mwenye uwezo wa kutatua matatizo yetu yote na kutupa ushindi. Kumbuka maneno haya ya Yesu kutoka Mathayo 21:22, "Na yo yote mtakayoyataka katika sala yenu, mkiamini, mtayapokea."

4️⃣ Kuna mfano mzuri katika Biblia ambao unatuonyesha jinsi imani inaweza kutuokoa kutoka kwa wasiwasi. Katika Luka 8:43-48, tunasoma kuhusu mwanamke ambaye alikuwa na kuvuja damu kwa miaka kumi na miwili. Aliamini kwamba ikiwa angeweza tu kugusa vazi la Yesu, ataponywa. Na kwa imani yake hiyo, aliponywa mara moja!

5️⃣ Sasa hebu tugeukie suala la kujikomboa kutoka kwa utumwa wa Shetani. Tunapojikuta tukiishi katika dhambi na kutawaliwa na Shetani, roho zetu zinazidi kudhoofika na kuwa mateka wa giza. Lakini Mungu wetu ni mwenye huruma na anataka tuwe huru kutoka katika utumwa huo.

6️⃣ Kutafakari juu ya neno la Mungu ni muhimu katika kujikomboa kutoka kwa utumwa wa Shetani. Neno la Mungu linatuongoza katika ukweli na kutusaidia kutambua hila za adui zetu. Kama ilivyoandikwa katika Yohana 8:32, "Nanyi mtaijua kweli, na hiyo kweli itawaweka huru."

7️⃣ Kumbuka kuwa Shetani ni mwongo na mwenye nguvu. Anataka kutuletea utumwa na kutuangamiza. Lakini kwa imani yetu katika Yesu Kristo, tunaweza kumshinda Shetani na kujikomboa kutoka kwa utumwa wake. Kama ilivyoandikwa katika 1 Yohana 4:4, "Ninyi watoto wadogo mmeshinda nguvu hizi, kwa sababu yeye aliye ndani yenu ni mkuu kuliko yule aliye ulimwenguni."
