Kufuatia Mifano ya Mtakatifu Paulo na George Fox<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Kama singekuwa mtu wa imani, labda ningekuwa mtu asiye na matumaini. Hata hivyo, imani yangu\u2014iliyoungwa mkono na ujumuishaji wa kutafakari kwangu Maandiko na kujifunza kwangu kutoka kwa mifano yenye matumaini ya Mtakatifu Paulo na George Fox\u2014inanipa tumaini katika mpango wa Mungu unaofunuliwa wa wokovu. <\/p>\n\n

Muktadha wa Ubinadamu Ndani ya Sababu Pekee<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Ingawa mtu asiye na imani anaweza kuwa na matumaini kuhusu uwezekano wa kufaulu kwa mradi kukamilika hivi karibuni, tumaini asilia linaonekana kutotosha kudumisha mtazamo mzuri kuhusu wakati ujao wa muda mrefu wa sayari yetu. Fikiria matukio machache makuu yenye kuvunja moyo katika miaka 175 iliyopita. <\/p>\n\n

Marekani imehusika katika Vita vya Kwanza vya Kidunia, Vita vya Kidunia vya pili, Vita vya Korea, na Vita vya Vietnam. Waafrika walioletwa Marekani waliteseka katika utumwa kwa zaidi ya miaka 200 na vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vilipiganwa ili kupata uhuru wao. Merika ilishambuliwa mnamo 9\/11\/2001, na shambulio hilo lilisababisha vita huko Iraqi na Afghanistan, ambavyo vilidumu kwa miaka 20. Urusi na Ukraine kwa sasa ziko kwenye vita. Wengine wanahofia kuwa silaha za nyuklia zinaweza kutumika katika mzozo huo. Israel na Hamas wako vitani, vita ambavyo vinaweza kuenea katika Mashariki ya Kati na kwingineko. <\/p>\n\n

Baadhi nchini Marekani wanatamani kuweka anga za kijeshi. Vikosi vya polisi katika baadhi ya miji ya Marekani vina silaha za kiwango cha kijeshi. Zaidi ya hayo, raia wa Marekani wanaruhusiwa kisheria kumiliki silaha za kiwango cha kijeshi. Kulikuwa na visa zaidi ya 600 vya kupigwa risasi kwa wingi nchini Marekani mwaka wa 2023. Kati ya miaka ya 2000 na 2020, zaidi ya watu 800,000 walikufa kwa kujiua nchini Marekani, huku silaha zikiwa miongoni mwa njia kuu. <\/p>\n\n

Zaidi ya hayo, sayari yetu inakabiliwa na janga kubwa la hali ya hewa kama inavyothibitishwa na vimbunga vinavyozidi kuongezeka, vimbunga na viwango vya joto vinavyoongezeka. Majira ya joto ya 2024 yalikuwa majira ya joto zaidi kuwahi kurekodiwa. Kupanda kwa kina cha bahari ni tishio kwa jamii za pwani kote ulimwenguni. Hata hivyo ripoti ya 2023 kuhusu maendeleo kuelekea malengo ya hali ya hewa yaliyowekwa katika Mkataba wa Hali ya Hewa wa Paris ilionya serikali kwamba ulimwengu hauko kwenye njia ya kufikia malengo ya muda mrefu ya Mkataba huo. <\/p>\n\n

Taasisi za kidini, ambazo kihistoria ni sababu ya kuleta utulivu wa kijamii, zinapoteza ushawishi. Mnamo Machi 2024, Taasisi ya Utafiti wa Dini ya Umma ilitoa ripoti ambayo iligundua kwamba asilimia 26 ya watu wazima wa Marekani wanajitambua kuwa hawana uhusiano wa kidini, ongezeko la asilimia tano tangu 2013. Kwa kuzingatia ushawishi wa kuhama kwa umri-kama Waamerika walio na uhusiano wa kidini wanavyokufa na nafasi zao kuchukuliwa na Wamarekani vijana wasio na dini-asilimia ya Wamarekani wasio na uhusiano wa kidini wataendelea kuongezeka. <\/p>\n\n

Inasemekana kwamba matumaini hufa mwisho. Watu wengi wana tumaini la asili kwamba wakati ujao utakuwa mzuri. Sipunguzii tumaini kama hilo. Walakini, nikiulizwa kutabiri kwa msingi wa sababu pekee juu ya nafasi za wanadamu kunusurika karne ya ishirini na moja, ningelazimika kusema kwamba nina tamaa sana. <\/p>\n\n

Muktadha wa Ubinadamu kwa Mtazamo unaotegemea Imani<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Ikiwa tunatumaini kusonga mbele zaidi ya tamaa iliyochochewa na hali halisi ya ulimwengu wa kisasa, tunahitaji imani inayotokeza tumaini la kitheolojia. Kwangu mimi, tumaini kama hilo hukuzwa katika sadfa ya uzoefu wa upatanishi (kutafakari Maandiko na mfano wa mababu ambao wameishi maisha yaliyojaa tumaini) na uzoefu wangu wa mara moja katika utulivu wa sala. <\/p>\n\n

Ulimwengu unaoonekana sio muktadha pekee wa maisha yetu. Mtu wa imani anaishi maisha katika mazingira ya \u201cuhakika wa mambo yatarajiwayo, ni bayana ya mambo yasiyoonekana\u201d (Ebr. 11:1 [NRSV]). Tunaishi tukiwa na hakikisho kwamba mpango wa Mungu wa wokovu unafunuliwa kuelekea urejeshaji wa viumbe vyote (Rum. 8:15\u201325). Tunaweza kufikiria historia kama ilivyoelekezwa kwenye kurudi kwenye Bustani ya Edeni kabla ya Anguko la Adamu. George Fox alipata wazo kama hilo wakati wake. <\/p>\n\n

Matumaini ni juu ya siku zijazo. ”Kwa maana tuliokolewa katika tumaini. Sasa tumaini linaloonekana si tumaini, kwa maana ni nani anayetumaini kile ambacho mtu tayari anakiona? Lakini ikiwa tunatumaini kile tusichokiona, twakingojea kwa saburi” (Rum. 8:24-25). Je, tunatumaini nini? Mtakatifu Paulo anatuambia: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Kwa hekima na busara zote <\/sup>ametujulisha siri ya mapenzi yake, sawasawa na uradhi wake mwema aliouweka katika Kristo, kuwa mpango wa utimilifu wa wakati, kukusanya vitu vyote ndani yake, vilivyo mbinguni na vilivyo juu ya nchi (Efe. 1:8b\u201310).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Ni utaratibu mrefu kuishi kwa matumaini ya mpango kutekelezwa katika utimilifu wa wakati. Tumaini ni imani yetu kwa Mungu iliyopanuliwa hadi siku zijazo. Ikiwa nimemtumaini Mungu au la katika siku za nyuma, itaamua ikiwa ninamtumaini Mungu katika siku zijazo. Imani yangu ya sasa itaashiria kiwango cha tumaini langu la wakati ujao. <\/p>\n\n

Maandiko yanaonyesha tumaini kama usadikisho thabiti. Waraka kwa Waebrania unaeleza tumaini kama \u201cnanga ya nafsi iliyo hakika na thabiti\u201d (Ebr. 6:19). Inaendelea kutusihi tushike sana ungamo la tumaini letu bila kuyumba-yumba kwa sababu Mungu aliyeahidi ni mwaminifu (Ebr. 10:23). Mtakatifu Paulo anasema jambo lile lile anapoandika kwamba \u201ctumaini halituhadaishi, kwa sababu pendo la Mungu limekwisha kumiminwa mioyoni mwetu\u201d (Rum. 5:5). Paulo anaendelea kusema kwamba \u201ctunajua kwamba mambo yote hufanya kazi pamoja kwa ajili ya mema kwa wale wanaompenda Mungu, ambao wameitwa kwa kusudi lake\u201d (Warumi 8:28). Kauli yenye matumaini zaidi haijawahi kutamkwa. <\/p>\n\n

Ikiwa tunatumaini kusonga mbele zaidi ya tamaa iliyochochewa na hali halisi ya ulimwengu wa kisasa, tunahitaji imani inayotokeza tumaini la kitheolojia. Kwangu mimi, matumaini hayo yanakuzwa katika sadfa ya uzoefu wa upatanishi na uzoefu wangu wa mara moja katika utulivu wa sala. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Mifano ya Mababu Wawili Watarajiwa: Mtakatifu Paulo na George Fox<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Kusema kwamba mambo yatafanya kazi pamoja kwa manufaa kwa wale wanaompenda Mungu haimaanishi kwamba maisha hayatakuwa na majaribu na dhiki. Kwa hakika, Mtakatifu Paulo anawaambia Warumi kujivunia dhiki zao, wakijua kwamba dhiki huleta saburi, na saburi huzaa tabia, na tabia huleta tumaini ( Rum. 5:3b\u20134 ). <\/p>\n\n

Paul hakuwa Pollyanna. Anatuambia katika sehemu nyingi za majaribio yake. Wakati \u201cakijisifu\u201d juu ya huduma yake ya kitume, Paulo anaandika kwamba yeye ni mhudumu bora kuliko wengine kwa sababu alivumilia \u201ctaabu kubwa zaidi, vifungo vingi zaidi, na mapigo yasiyohesabika, na mara nyingi karibu kufa\u201d (2 Kor. 11:23). <\/p>\n\n

Hata hivyo Paulo aliweza kuinuka juu ya dhiki zake. Katika Wakorintho wa Pili, anaandika kwamba \u201caliridhika na udhaifu, matukano, taabu, adha, na misiba\u201d (2 Kor. 12:10). Alijifunza kujitosheleza katika hali yoyote aliyojipata, kwani alijua kwamba angeweza kufanya mambo yote kupitia Mungu anayemtia nguvu ( Flp. 4:11b\u201313 ). <\/p>\n\n

George Fox, kama Mtakatifu Paulo, alikumbana na vikwazo vikubwa sana alipoishi ukweli wa huduma yake. Katika Jarida<\/em> lake, tunasoma kwamba mapema kama 1649 alipata hasira na dharau, joto na ghadhabu. Alipigwa, kupigwa ngumi, kupigwa, na kufungwa gerezani. Anaripoti kwamba katika mji wa Mansfield Woodhouse, watu walimwangukia kwa ngumi. Wakamtupa kwenye kuta; wakampiga ngumi na kumweka katika mikatale; wakampiga mawe. Aliumizwa sana hata hakuweza kugeuka kitandani. Mbali na hayo yote, Fox alifungwa jela mara kadhaa. Mnamo 1651, anaripoti kwamba kifungo chake cha hivi majuzi kilidumu kwa majuma matatu tu kabla ya mwaka mmoja katika magereza manne tofauti. <\/p>\n\n

Hata hivyo, Fox aliweza kufikia kiwango sawa cha kutosheka na Paul. Kama alivyosimulia baadaye katika Jarida<\/em> lake, walinzi wake katika gereza la Derby katika 1651 walikabili hali ya kutokuwa na uhakika walipojaribu kusuluhisha kesi yake kwamba \u201chabari yao njema na ripoti yao mbaya, usemi wao mzuri au mbaya haukuwa kitu kwangu; kwa maana mmoja hakuniinua, wala yule mwingine hakuniangusha, Bwana na asifiwe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Paulo na Fox waliwezaje kupata matumaini hayo ya kiroho licha ya matatizo hayo?<\/p>\n\n

Jibu ni kwamba wanaume wote wawili walikuwa wamejikita katika uzoefu wa fumbo. Kuhusiana na Mtakatifu Paulo, anawaambia Wagalatia kwamba injili yake haikuwa ya asili ya mwanadamu. Hakuipokea kutoka kwa mwanadamu, wala hakufundishwa, bali aliipokea kwa ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo. Ingawa alikuwa amelitesa kanisa la Mungu, Mungu alipendezwa kumdhihirisha Mwanawe ili aweze kumtangaza Kristo kati ya Mataifa (Gal. 1:11\u201316). Mahali pengine, bila kutaka kujivunia uzoefu wake binafsi wa fumbo (au hata kuandika katika nafsi ya kwanza), anawaandikia Wakorintho: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Nitakwenda kwenye maono na mafunuo ya Bwana. Namjua mtu mmoja katika Kristo ambaye miaka kumi na minne iliyopita alinyakuliwa mpaka mbingu ya tatu, kwamba alikuwa katika mwili au nje ya mwili sijui; Mungu anajua. <\/sup><\/strong>Nami najua ya kuwa mtu kama huyo – kwamba alikuwa nje ya mwili sijui; Mungu anajua\u2014alinyakuliwa hadi kwenye Paradiso na kusikia mambo ambayo hayapaswi kuambiwa, ambayo hakuna mwanadamu anayeweza kufa anayeruhusiwa kurudia. Kwa ajili ya mtu kama huyo nitajisifu, lakini kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe sitajisifu, isipokuwa udhaifu wangu ( 2 Kor. 12:1\u20135 ). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Mnamo 1647, akiwa na umri wa miaka 23, George Fox alitatizika kujua jinsi angeweza kuwa mhudumu wa kweli wa Mungu, badala ya kuwa mtu aliyeelimishwa tu kumhusu Mungu huko Oxford au Cambridge. Alisikia sauti iliyoufanya moyo wake kuruka kwa furaha: \u201cKuna mmoja, hata Kristo Yesu, anayeweza kusema kuhusu hali yako.\u201d Aliendelea kubainisha: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Na wakati wowote hali yangu ilipofichwa, imani yangu ya siri ilikaa imara, na tumaini chini lilinishika kama nanga chini ya bahari, na kutia nanga roho yangu isiyoweza kufa. . . kuisababisha kuogelea juu ya bahari, ulimwengu ambamo mawimbi yote makali, hali ya hewa chafu, tufani, na majaribu yapo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kama tokeo la kuamka kwa fumbo la Fox, hali za dharura za maisha\u2014zinazofafanuliwa kuwa \u201cmawimbi makali, hali mbaya ya hewa, tufani, na vishawishi\u201d\u2014hazikuweza kumshawishi. Imani yake ya siri na tumaini lililo chini yake vilimtia nanga. Uzoefu wake ulimpandisha juu ya heka heka za maisha na kumwezesha kuwa na matumaini ya kiroho hata katika hali ngumu ya maisha. <\/p>\n\n

Mazoezi ya Kiroho Yenye Mizizi katika Ufunuo wa Jumla na wa Mtu Binafsi<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Ninapotambua jinsi ninavyoweza kukuza tumaini kama ilivyojadiliwa katika Maandiko (ufunuo wa jumla) na kuonyeshwa na Mtakatifu Paulo na George Fox (katika ufunuo wao binafsi), nimejaribu kuunganisha ufunuo wa kimaandiko na mfano wa mafumbo wa awali katika uzoefu wangu mwenyewe wa uwepo wa Mungu.<\/p>\n\n

Kama msaada kwangu, mimi, kama watu wengi, hutafuta kiwango cha utulivu kwa kurudiarudia misemo kama vile: \u201cNyamaza, ujue ya kuwa mimi ni Mungu\u201d ( Zab. 46:10 ); na \u201cUmngoje Bwana, uwe hodari, na moyo wako ukupe moyo, umngoje Bwana\u201d (Zab. 27:14); na \u201cTulia mbele za Bwana, umngojee kwa saburi, usifadhaike\u201d (Zab. 37:7); na maneno \u201cfadhili zake ni za milele,\u201d maneno ambayo yanarudiwa mara 27 katika Zab. 136.<\/p>\n\n

Kwa usaidizi wa wakati ujao, ninakumbuka kwamba Yesu anajumuisha mahubiri madogo kama sehemu ya Mahubiri yake ya Mlimani ambayo kwayo anatuhimiza tusiwe na wasiwasi:<\/p>\n\n

\n

Kwa hiyo nawaambia, msisumbukie maisha yenu, mle nini au mnywe nini; au miili yenu, mvae nini. . . . Je, kuna yeyote kati yenu kwa kuhangaika anaweza kuongeza saa moja kwenye maisha yake? . . Bali utafuteni kwanza ufalme wake, na haki yake, na hayo yote mtazidishiwa ( Mt. 6:25, 27, 33 ).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Ikiwa tuna wasiwasi, hatuko bado. Tunaruhusu dhoruba za kiwango cha juu zisumbue amani yetu ya ndani. Hatumngojei Mungu kwa uvumilivu. Juhudi zetu zinapaswa kuwa katika kiwango cha kina cha utulivu ili kukutana na Kimungu ndani. <\/p>\n\n

Mazoezi ya Quaker ya ibada ya kimya inaelekezwa kwa utulivu huu, kuelekea kukutana na Mungu ndani. Tunatafuta kukutana na Nuru ya Bwana na Roho iliyopo katika hatua hiyo tulivu kwenye msingi wa uhai wetu. George Fox alikosoa mikutano ambapo kutaniko halikuketi kumngoja Mungu ili kukusanya akili zao pamoja ili kuhisi uwepo wa Mungu na nguvu. Barua yake kwa Lady Claypole inasomeka kwa sehemu: <\/p>\n\n

\n

[B] bado kitambo kutoka kwa mawazo yako mwenyewe, kutafuta, kutafuta, tamaa na mawazo, na kukaa katika kanuni ya Mungu ndani yako, kuweka mawazo yako juu ya Mungu, juu ya Mungu; na utapata nguvu kutoka kwake na kumpata kuwa msaada uliopo wakati wa taabu, katika uhitaji, na kuwa Mungu aliye karibu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Mbweha, bila shaka, hakuwa mtu wa kwanza kutoa maagizo katika kugundua sura ya Mungu ndani. Huenda alikuwa anajua mwongozo unaotolewa katika Kitabu cha Ushauri wa Faragha<\/em> , kilichoandikwa na mwandishi yuleyule asiyejulikana wa The Cloud of Unknowing<\/em> . Katika kitabu cha kwanza, mwandishi anaandika: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Unapoenda kando ili kuwa peke yako kwa maombi, weka akilini mwako kila kitu ambacho umekuwa ukifanya au unapanga kufanya. Kataa mawazo yote, yawe mazuri au yawe mabaya. Usiombe kwa maneno isipokuwa kwa kweli umevutwa kwa hili; au ukiomba kwa maneno, usijali kwamba ni wengi au wachache. . . . Angalia kwamba hakuna kitu kinachobaki katika akili yako ya ufahamu isipokuwa dhamira uchi iliyonyoosha kuelekea kwa Mungu. . . . [K] weka ufahamu rahisi tu kwamba yeye ni jinsi alivyo<\/em> . Mwache awe hivi, nakuomba, na umlazimishe asiwe vinginevyo. . . . [R]kaa katika imani hii kama juu ya msingi ulio imara. . . . [L] Neema iunganishe mawazo na mapenzi yako kwake, huku ukijitahidi kukataa uchunguzi wa dakika zote kuhusu sifa mahususi za kiumbe chako kipofu au chake.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Ninapoweza kufuata ushauri huu, iwe katika mkutano au faraghani, ninajitenga na wasiwasi wangu na ninaweza kukubali kwa imani chochote kinachotokea katika maisha yangu. Ninaweza kuacha utunzaji wangu wa wasiwasi. Kwa kunyamaza, na kumngojea Bwana kwa saburi, wasiwasi wangu hukoma. <\/p>\n\n

Tumaini la kitheolojia ni tumaini letu katika uaminifu wa Mungu kwa mpango wa Mungu wa wokovu unaofunuliwa katika Maandiko. Kazi yetu ni kuamini katika mpango mkuu wa Mungu unaotekelezwa katika maisha yetu binafsi. Kwa kutafuta kuishi ufunuo wa jumla wa Mungu katika maisha yetu binafsi, kwa usaidizi wa kuiga mifano ya mafumbo wa zamani kama Saint Paul na George Fox, tunaweza kuwa na matumaini ya kiroho. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
