Kupona kutoka kwa Dhambi na Uraibu - Hatua ya 12 - Huduma na Shukrani

12. Baada ya kuamka kiroho kama matokeo ya hatua hizi kutusaidia, sasa tunajaribu kupeleka ujumbe huu kwa wengine na kutekeleza kanuni hizi katika mambo yetu yote.

Bwana amekuwa na rehema nyingi kwetu kufunua ukweli wake kwa mioyo yetu. Alituwezesha sio tu kuponywa dhambi na ulevi, lakini pia kuona uhusiano wetu umepona. Na kupitia hatua hizi 11 zilizopita, na kwa msaada wa wengine ambao wametuhudumia injili hii, sasa tunaweza kushiriki maisha mapya!

“Kwa hiyo ikiwa mtu ye yote yumo ndani ya Kristo, ni kiumbe kipya: mambo ya kale yamepita; tazama, mambo yote yamekuwa mapya. Na vitu vyote vimetoka kwa Mungu, aliyetupatanisha sisi na yeye kwa Yesu Kristo, na kutupa huduma ya upatanisho ”~ 2 Wakorintho 5: 17-18.

Wito Wetu Mpya

And so now having embraced this new life in Christ Jesus, we now have a very important calling upon our life: “the ministry of reconciliation.”

God has already used us in previous steps to minister reconciliation, through the efforts that we made for ourselves to be reconciled to others. Now we are also able to help others in the same way, to find the same help we have received.

Hii daima imekuwa sehemu ya mpango wa Mungu. Kuwawezesha wale aliowaokoa, kuweza kushuhudia kwa wengine ili wapate kujua ukombozi pia.

"Bali mtapokea nguvu, akiisha kuwajilia juu yenu Roho Mtakatifu; nanyi mtakuwa mashahidi wangu katika Yerusalemu, na katika Uyahudi wote, na katika Samaria, na hata mwisho wa dunia." ~ Matendo 1: 8

Shiriki Injili

The true gospel that delivers people from both sin and addictions, has always propagated itself in this manner. Jesus delivers and transforms the individual, and then he calls the individual into a life of service and gratitude. And through this transformed life, others are also saved and called to the same work. We do this work from a heart of love. And we also do this because we recognize the seriousness of the responsibility that has been now given to us!

“Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:9-11

Kujua kwa uzoefu wa kibinafsi uharibifu wa ulevi, tunajitahidi "kuwashawishi" wengine. Sasa tuna dharura maalum na mamlaka nyuma ya ujumbe tulio nao, kwa sababu ya uzoefu wetu wa kibinafsi wa zamani.

Wakati wowote Yesu anapokomboa na kuanzisha mtu yeyote, basi ana kazi ya kufanya. Ni sehemu ya kukamilisha wito wa Yesu Kristo juu ya maisha yetu.

"Akawaambia, Enendeni ulimwenguni mwote, mkaihubiri Injili kwa kila kiumbe." ~ Marko 16:15

The word “gospel” stands for “good news.” This Gospel based 12 step program is “good news” for every sinner and addict. There is true hope and help in the love of God shown towards everyone, through Jesus Christ! So by prayer and faith, we labor now to build up others in this new faith that we now have.

“Lakini ninyi, wapenzi, mkijijengee imani yenu takatifu sana, mkiomba katika Roho Mtakatifu, Jitunzeni katika upendo wa Mungu, mkingojea rehema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo hata kupata uzima wa milele. Na muwe na huruma kwa wengine, mkifanya tofauti; na wengine waokoeni kwa hofu, kwa kuwaondoa katika moto; kuchukia hata vazi lililotobolewa na mwili. Sasa kwake yeye awezaye kuwazuia msianguke, na kuwasimamisha mbele ya utukufu wake bila hatia na furaha kubwa, Kwa Mungu pekee aliye na busara Mwokozi wetu, uwe utukufu na enzi, enzi na nguvu, sasa na milele. Amina. ” ~ Yuda 1: 20-25

Huruma

Having compassion, is waking up people to the fear that they should have for their own lives. Teaching people to “put away” the things that are hindering them. We comprehend that we ourselves have been “pulled out of the fire” of sin and its controlling addictive power. And so we especially feel this burden to pull others out of that same fire.

Yote hii ndio tunayoitwa sasa kufanya kwa njia fulani, kulingana na zawadi ambayo Mungu hutupa.

Mwishowe, unakumbuka mfano wa mpanzi na neno, na aina tofauti za ardhi (inayowakilisha moyo) ambayo Neno la Mungu lilipandwa ndani? Aina ya mwisho ya ardhi, ambayo ilikuwa ya 4, ilielezewa kama "ardhi nzuri". Na ilielezwa hivyo, kwa sababu ilizaa matunda mazuri. Matunda ya huduma na shukrani!

“Lakini yule aliyepandwa katika udongo mzuri ndiye yule asikiaye lile neno na kulielewa; ambayo huzaa matunda, na kuzaa, mmoja mara mia, mmoja sitini, na mwingine thelathini. ” ~ Mathayo 13:23

Kuhusu mfano huu, Yesu alisema: "Aliye na masikio ya kusikia, na asikie."

So as we complete this 12 step series, may we ever continue to have an “ear to hear” the call of our Lord to: service and gratitude!
