Mafundisho ya Mwezi Huu (Desemba, 2025)
Mapenzi ya Mungu Kuhusu Mafanikio ya Kikristo
Mwaka unapokaribia kwisha, manabii wa uwongo (hasa wale ambao jumbe zao za msingi ni “faida ni utauwa”), wanarandaranda, na wahasiriwa wao ni watu wanaopitia matatizo ya kifedha, hasa katika Kanisa. Wanateka hisia za watu hawa kwa kuwaahidi kila baraka ya mbinguni ambayo mtu anaweza kufikiria. Tuliamua kumalizia mafundisho ya mwaka huu kwa kuchapisha upya ujumbe tuliohubiri Julai 2022, kuhusu mada muhimu ya: "Mapenzi ya Mungu Kuhusu Ufanisi wa Kikristo".
Bwana wetu Mkuu Yesu Kristo na Mitume wake watakatifu walifundisha hasa kwamba Wakristo hawajaahidiwa utajiri wa kupindukia duniani, kama vile manabii wengi wa uongo wanafundisha leo kuhalalisha tamaa yao [1 Timotheo 6:9]. Hasa, Wakristo wanaagizwa wasijiwekee hazina (mafanikio au mali) yoyote duniani [Mathayo 6:19-20], na kwamba baraka zozote za kifedha zinazowajia ama kupitia “urithi,” “nafasi”, “Uwekezaji” au kwa kutumia “vipaji vyao vya asili walivyopewa na Mungu”, vishirikishwe na maskini, hasa washiriki wenzao wa Kanisa ambao ni maskini [Matendo 2:44] [Matendo 2:44-44].
Katika [Mathayo 19:21-24], Kristo alimwamuru kijana (yeye ndiye mtawala sawa katika Luka 18:22) kuuza mali yake, kuwapa maskini na kumfuata, na kwa sababu alikuwa tajiri, alikwenda zake akilia. Watu wengi wanaojiita Wakristo siku hizi (hasa ustawi wa kuhubiri wachungaji wa Makanisa) ni kama mtawala huyu kijana tajiri. Kristo akiwaambia watoe mali zao kwa maskini (hata washiriki wao maskini wa Kanisa), watamwacha Kristo, Ukristo na kukimbia na mali zao.
Katika Kanisa la kwanza, Wakristo waliokuwa na mali, waliuza walichokuwa nacho, walileta fedha kwa Mitume ambao nao waliwagawia washiriki wengine wa mwili wa Kristo waliokuwa na mahitaji [Mdo 4:32-35]. Huu haukuwa mfumo wa "ustawi" au "ujamaa", lakini onyesho linalohitajika la upendo, ukarimu, na utunzaji. Mungu alilipa utii wao kwa ishara, maajabu, na miujiza ya ajabu kati yao. Ubinafsi na choyo katika Kanisa leo vimezuia “Miujiza ya kweli, inayothibitishwa” kutokea miongoni mwa Wakristo. Pia, Wakristo wengi leo wanasumbuliwa na “Baruku Syndrome” [Yeremia 45:4-5]. Sawa na Wakristo wa leo, Baruku alikuwa akijitafutia “mambo makuu,” mpaka Mungu alipomkumbusha kwamba ulimwengu wote utaharibiwa hivi karibuni.
Ahadi pekee iliyotolewa kwa Wakristo katika kipindi cha Agano Jipya ni kwamba mahitaji yetu yatatimizwa [Wafilipi 4:19], na mahitaji hayo lazima pia yawe kulingana na mapenzi ya Mungu. Hii pia inaangukia katika utaratibu wa Mungu wa kukidhi mahitaji ya watu wake katika [Kutoka 16:18]. Kwa kielelezo, Mkristo hawezi kuwa anamwomba Mungu amgawie, Mercedes Benz, au nyumba yenye thamani ya dola milioni 1 (isipokuwa Mkristo huyo amepata pesa za kutosha kupata vitu hivyo kupitia biashara yake mwenyewe na anaweza kumudu vitu hivyo kwa urahisi), kwa sababu hayo si mahitaji bali ni anasa; na Kanisa haliwezi kuwa linamwamini Mungu kwa ajili ya jengo la gharama kubwa kwa sababu tufani, matetemeko ya ardhi, vimbunga, n.k., havitofautishi kati ya jengo la Kanisa na nyumba ya waovu.
Isitoshe, majanga ya asili hayatofautishi kati ya mali ya watu wema na mali ya waovu. Wanasawazisha kila kitu katika njia zao kama tulivyoona katika misiba ya asili ulimwenguni pote. Zaidi ya hayo, tarumbeta inapolia, majengo ya Kanisa hayatanyakuliwa wala kupelekwa mbinguni kwa sababu mbinguni, Mungu na Kristo wake hawana matumizi ya majengo yaliyojengwa kwa mikono ya wanadamu [Matendo 7:48-50]. Kwa hiyo, tukiwa na chakula na mavazi (mavazi), Wakristo wote wanapaswa kuridhika [1 Timotheo 6:8].
Biblia pia inafundisha kwamba usitawi ambao Kristo alihubiri juu yake alipokuwa hapa duniani, (yaani, kujitosheleza, si mali nyingi), lazima kwanza uanze na Ufanisi wa Kiroho, yaani, kuutafuta kwanza Ufalme wa Mungu na haki yake [Mathayo 6:33, Luka 12:31, 3 Yoh 1:2].
Ustawi wa Kikristo (yaani, kujitosheleza, si mali nyingi), hautokani na “kutaja na kuudai” au kutoa 10% ya mshahara wako kwa wachungaji wa uongo, wenye tamaa na Makanisa ya uwongo jinsi wahubiri hao wenye pupa wanavyohubiri. Zinatoka kwa kutumia vipawa vya asili ambavyo Mungu amekupa kufanya kazi, na kutoka kwa kuwapa maskini [Mithali 19:17, Zaburi 41:1-2, 1 Wathesalonike 4:11-12]. Kila mwanadamu amepewa japo karama moja ambayo itamlisha mtu huyu kwa maisha yake yote-bila kujali anaishi wapi, awe mtakatifu au mwenye dhambi, au amesoma au hajasoma.
Ili kufanikiwa, Mungu anataka Mkristo kukuza na kutumia karama hii au seti ya karama. Jambo la hakika, watu pekee ambao wanafanikiwa kutokana na mafundisho ya uongo ya “Nipeni zaka na sadaka na Mungu atawatajirisha” ni walimu wa uongo wenyewe. Katika Kanisa hili, tunatoa changamoto kwa mtu yeyote atuonyeshe Mkristo ambaye alikuja kuwa milionea kwa kulipa zaka (kutoa 10% ya ujira wao wa kazi ngumu kwa mchungaji au Kanisa), au kwa "kutaja jina na kudai", na tutakuonyesha wachungaji milioni ambao walikuja kuwa mamilionea kutoka kwa zaka na sadaka walizokuibia.
Ufanisi wa Kikristo (yaani, kujitosheleza, si mali nyingi), hautokani na kufanya kazi kwa ajili ya mtu mwingine pia, kwa kuwa makampuni mengi duniani kote leo hayatakulipa vya kutosha hata kuishi, kuzungumza zaidi juu ya kufanikiwa. Ndiyo maana tunawaonya Wakristo popote pale wasimsikilize mhubiri (hata awe maarufu kiasi gani) akihubiri kuhusu ustawi wakati yeye mwenyewe hafanyi kazi bali anaishi maisha ya anasa kutokana na sadaka na michango ya Kanisa na hajawahi kuanzisha biashara yoyote iliyofanikiwa, kuwapa watu kazi, au kuwalipa ujira unaostahili.
