Ishu Masih ke or Nishchay se Zimmedaar Hona

Elder Dale G. Renlund dwara

Barah Devduton ke Parishad Ke

Parmeshwar ammantrit kare ki humlog apan poorana tareekon ke bhool ke ek naya zindagi Masih me shuru kare.

Pichale April, me hame vishesh adhikaar mila raha samarpit kare ke Kinshasa Republic of the Congo Temple.² Hum bataye nahi sakta ki kitna zyaada khushi vishwashi Congolese aur hume mila yeh dekh ke ki unke zameen pe ek tempal samarpit hoe gais hai.

Jon bhi Kinshasa Tempal me jai ek mool chitr me Congo Falls(Jharna)ke dekhi.² Woh yahi yaad dilae hai ki mandir jaawe la long ke atoot zimmedaari ke jon zaroori hai Ishu Masih se jhuda rahe ke aur Swarg ke Pita ke vaada kiya yojna pe chale ke. Jharna joh chitr me raha dhyaan dilais woh abhyaas ke jon saamaany raha ek sadee se jyaada unke beech me jon pahele se Isaaai dharam me parivartit hoe gais raha.

Ise pahele, woh log achetan, bejaan vastoun me vishwass rahin jon raha ki ye sab ke pass alaukik shakti hai.³ Parivartan ke baad, bahut log teerath yatra pe gain ek mese anginit Jharna pe Congo nadi ke paas, jaise Nzongo Falls pe.⁴ Ulog sab murti ke rakam wala vastu ke Jharna me bahai dees ek prateek ke roop me Parmeshwar aur doosro ke liye jon raha ki unlog ab apan jitna poorana parampara radh kar dei aur nawa vishwaas Ishu Masih me apnai. Woh jaanbhoojke apan vastu shaant, kamti pani me nai bahais; ek zoor se bhae wala jharna me phekis taaki vastu kabhi phir mile nahi sake. Yeh sab kaary ek sanket ke shuruaat raha Ishu Masih ke or Nischay se Zimmedaar howe ke.

Log aur sab jagah aur phedhee me apan zimmedaari Ishu Masih ke liye saabit hai aisa tareeka se.⁵ Mormon Dharamshaastra me jiske Anti-Nephi- Lehies se jaana jaat raha “vidroh ke hathiyaaron ko neeche rakha,” unhen daala “gaharee dharti me” ke roop mein bhagavaan ke lie ek gavaahee “ke roop mein daphanaane ... ki ve phir se [unake] hathiyaaron ka upayog nahin karenge.”⁶ Aisa kare me, ulog wada karis Parmeshwar ke shiksha ke paalan kare ke aur apan zimmedaari se kabhi peechhe nahin hati. Yeh kriya shuruaat raha “Prabhu me parivartit howe ke” aur kabhi usse door nahi jane ke.⁷

“Prabhu me parivartit hona” ke matlab hai ek puraana aadat chodna, jo puraane riti pe kaayam tha, aur ek naye ko apnaana Swarg ke Pita ke yojna aur Ishu Masih aur Unke Praeshchit me vishwaas karke. I badlaao sirf dimaagi taur se susamachaar ke shiksha ko apnaana nahi hai. Yeh humlog ke pahechaan, zindagi ke matlab me parivartan dewe hai, aur humlog ke sake apparivatan wafadaari Parmeshwar pe rakhe. Niji Ichah jon Uddharkarta se judhe ke virodh me hai hai aur uske vachan la rasta pe chale ke band hoi ge hai phir se stapit hoe hai sankalp se Swarg ke Pita ke marjee pe chal ke.

Prabhu me parivartit hona shuru hoe hai atoot pratibaddhata Parmeshwar se aur uske baad pratibaddhata ke hissa banna joh humlog ke paribhaashit kare hai. Aantarik karna yeh pratibaddhata ke jeevan prakriya hai jiske liye dheeraj aur jaari pashchaataap zaroori hai. Ant me, yeh pratibadhta hamara ek hissa ban jaata hai, hamare vyaktitva me bas jaata hai, aur hamesha hamare jiwan me upasthit rehta hai. Jaise humlog apan naam kabhi bhoola nai hai kisi bhi ausar par chahe kuch bhi humlog sochta hai, pratibaddhata ke kabhi humlog bhoolata nahi joh humlog ke dil me hai.⁸

Parmeshwar ammantrit kare ki humlog apan poorana tareekon ke bhool ke ek naya zindagi Masih me Shuru kare. Yeh hota hai jab hum Uddhaarkarta me vishwaas utpann kar lete hai, jo shuru hota hai vishwaasiyon ki gawahi sun ke.⁹ Iske baad, vishwaas gehra howe hai jab hum long u rakam se kaam karta jisse hum Unke aur kareeb jaate hai.¹⁰

Ye acha hoga agar badhta vishwaas flu ya sardee ki tarah pakadta. Tab, ek saadhaaran “dhaarmik cheenk” dusro me vishwaas badhaati. Lekin aisa nahi hota hai. Sirf ek tarah se vishwass badta hai joh hai ki vyaktigat roop se vishwass par adhiniyam karo. I rawaiya aksar nimantrano se prerit hota hai jo koi aur deta hai, lekin hum kisi aur ke vishwaas pe toh “badh” nahi sakte hai ya kisi pe nirbhar nahi ho sakte apan vishwaas mazboot kare ke liye. Hamlog ke vishwass badhae ke liye, humlog ke viswash wala prathna, shastr pade ke padi, and doosro ke seva kare ke padi.

Jaise humlog ke Ishu Masih me vishwaas badhi, Parmeshwar hum long ke amantrit kare Uske sange vaada banae ke. I vachan long , vaada ke rakam jaana jaawe hai, u hum long ke samarpan ke kahani long hai. Vachanein ek thos buniyaad hai dhaarmik pragati ka. Jab hum long baptisma lewe ke nirnay karta hai, hum long apan uppar Ishu Masih ke naam lewe lagta hai¹¹aur apna pehchaan Unke saath karne ko chunte hai. Hum long vaada karta Uske rakam bane ke aur Uske rakam gun viksit kare ke.

Vachanein hamein Uddhaarkarta me utaarti hai aur hamein us maarg pe le jaati hai jo hamare swargiye ghar ko jaata hai. Vachano ke shakti hum long ke madad kare hai dil ke mazboot badlaao laawe ke, Prabhu me hum long ke samarpan gehra kare me, aur Masih ka rup hamare upar laane me.¹³ Lekin ek adha-dil waala vachano ki or pratibadhta humlog ke kahi nai pahuchai.¹⁴ Hum long ke saait behkaawa jaai, apan puraane tariko ke shaant paani me feke ke, ya hum long ke virodh ke shastron ke achchi tarah tope ke. Par agar hum long apan vachano ke or zimmedaari me atal nahi rahega Swarg ke Pita aur Ishu Masih ke saaf kare la shakti ke darwaaza nahi khuli.

Humlog ke zimmedaari vaachaon ke rakhe me sashart nahin hoi ke chahi ya jeevan ke badalate paristhiti pe nahi chahi hai raho. Humlog sangati Parmeshwar chahi hai bharosemand Congo nadee jon bahe hai Kinshasa Mandir ke pass. Ye nadee, duniya ke adhikaansh nadiyon se alag hai, saal bhar niyamit baheta hai,¹⁴lagbhag 11 million gallon (41.5 million L) paani ek second me Atlantic Samundar me daalta hai.

Uddharkarta Apan chela logan se ammantran karis hai ki bharosemand aur atal raho. Woh bolis,“Isake alaava, ise apane dil mein basa lo, ki tum un cheejon ko karoge jo main sikhaoonga, aur tumhen aagya doonga.”¹⁵ Ek “spasht” nishay se apan vachan rakhna poora anumati dewe Parmeshwar ke tike rehne ke wada ke samjhe.¹⁶

Bahut wafadar Antim-dinon ke Santon ne saabit kis hai ki weh “ätoot”hai apne vachan rakne me Parmeshwar ke saath aur sabhi din ke liye usme badlao aye gais hais. Hum tumlog ke batai dei teen aise vekhti ke bareme - Bhaai Banza Mucioko, Bahan Banza Régine, aur Bhaai Mbuyi Nkitabungi.

1997 me, Banza log Kinshasa joh Zaire ke desh me maojud hai me rehta raha, jon abhi Democratic Republic of Congo se janna jaawe hai. Ulog ke ucha sammaan milta raha Protestant girjaghar ke samaaj se. U long ke dunon ke kaaran, u long ke girjaghar u long ke jawaan pariwaar ke Switzerland bhejis padhe ke liye aur ek university la scholarship dewaais.

Jab ulog Geneva me raha, apan school jaawe la bus maarg pe, Bhaai Banza aksar ek chhota church immarat dekhta raha, jiska naam raha “Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka.” Uh sochis, “Kya Ishu Masih ke paas Sant abhi hai, Antin-dinon me?” Uh tay karis ki ulog ke chahiye jaao aur pata lagao.

Bhaai aur Bahan Banza ke branch me haardik swagat diya gais. Banza log kuch sawaal puchis jon u long ke sab taaim rehta rahaParmeshwar ke prakriti ke baare me, jaise ki, “agar Parmeshwar aatma hai, hava kee tarah, to ham usakee samaanta mein kaise paida ho sakte hain? Wah ek sinhaasan par kaise baith sakta tha?” U long kabhi koi bhi jawaab se santusht nahi hota raha jab tak prachaarak long punahsthaapit siddhaant ek chota lesson me nahi padhaais. Jab missionaries waha se lautis, Banzas ek doosre ke dekhis aur bolis “kya yah sach nahin hai jo hamane suna hai?” Ulog girjagahar aate rahin aur missionaries se milte rahin. U long janta raha ki Ishu Masih ke punhsthaapit Girjaghar ne baptisma lewe ke parinaam rahi. U long ke scholarship chinaae jaai, u long ke visa khalaas hoi jaai, aur u long aur u long ke dui chota ladkan ke Switzerland chode ke padi. U log faisala karis baptisma lewe aur pusti hoi ke October 1979 me.

Baptisma ke do hafta baad, Bhai aur Bahen Banza Kinshasa lautis aur apan desh mein Girgaghar ke pahale aur doosare sadasye rahin. Ganeva Sakha ke sadasye ulog ke sampark me rahis aur ulog ke Girgaghar ke neta se judane me madad karis. Banzas ko protsaahit kiya gais ki woh wafadaari se intenzaar kare us samay ke jag Parmeshwar Apna Girjaghar Zaire me banai.

Tab tak, ek aur exchange shaatra Bhaai Mbuyi, Zaire se Belgium me padhta raha. U 1980 me Brussels Ward me baptisma leis raha. Iske turant baad, uhe full-time mission ke sewa pradaand karis England me. Aur Parmeshwar bhi apan chamatkaron wala kaam kiya. Bhaai Mbuyi apne desh ke teesare Girjaghar ke sadasye ke roop me Zaire lautis. Apne maata-pita ke anumati ke saath, Girjaghar ke bhaithak shuru me uske ghar par hota raha. February 1986 me ek petition diya gaya tha sarkaar ko Girjaghar ko pehchaan karane ke liye. Teen Zaire naagrik ke hastaashar ke zaroori raha. Teen khushi hastaakshar yaachika ke raha Bhaai Banza, Bahan Banza, aur Bhaai Mbuyi.

Yeh nisthavan sadasye jaan gais raha ki sachai konchi hai; ulog vachan banais baptisma me jon Uddharkarta se ulog ke judha rakhis. Lekin ulog roopak se apan poorana tareeka ke phek dis raha jharna me aur koi iraada nahi raha uh sab phir se prapt kare ke. Vachan nibhaawe la maarg asaan nahi raha. Raajaneetik uthal-puthal, Girjaghar ke neta logan se saath aseem sampark, aur samuday wala nikit khathinaiya jo raha Santo ke ikatha kare me sakat raha kamtishraddha wala Santo ke door le jawe. Lekin Bhaai aur Bahan Banza aur Bhaai Mbuyi apan vishwaas me kaayam rahis. U long Kinshasa Mandir ke samarpan pe maojood raha, Girjaghar ko Zaire me pehchaan dene ke sarkaari kaagaz pe saain karne ke 33 saal baad.

Banzas long aaj yahan Sammelan Kendra me hai. U long ke sange u long ke dui ladka hai, Junior aur Phil, aur pato long, Annie aur Youyou. 1986 me, Junior aur Phil pahela dui jan rahin joh baptisma leen raha Girjaghar me Zaire me. Bhaai Mbuyi is sammelan ke Kinshasa se dekh rahe hai apni patni, Maguy, aur unke paanch bachchon ke saath.

Ye paaeniyar vachan ke matlab aur parinaam samjhis jiske maadhyam se u long “Prabhu, unke Parmeshwar ke gyaan mila, aur anandit Ishu Masih unke Muktidaata me.”¹⁷

Hum long kaise sakta apne aap ke Uddhaarkarta ke kareeb kare aur vishwaasi bana rehwe i das hazaar Congolese Santon ki tarah joh duniya bhar me saekdo anye auson ke piche jaate hai? Uddhaarkarta hum long ke sikhaais hai kaise? Har hafta hum long prabhubhoj leta aur vachan banata apan Swarg ke Pita se. Hum long vaada karta apan pehchaan ke Uddhaarkarta ke sange jode ke Uske naam apan uppar lewe ke vaada karke, Uske hamesha yaad kare ke, aur Uske aagyaaon ke paalan kare ke.¹⁸ Yahi tarah apne aap ke taiyaar karo aur yogy roop se vachan banao har saptah jisse hamlog Uddhaarkarta me magan hota; hum long apan zimwaari dil se maanta hai,¹⁹aur shakti se vachan ke maarg ke or badhta hai.

Hum aap ke ammantran karta hai ki zimmedar ho jeevan bhar ke prakriya me chela ban ke. Vaadein karo aur unhe nibhao. Apne puraane aadaton ko gehre, zor behne waale jharno me phenk do. Apne virodh ke shastron puri tarah se top do ki uske handal phi na baahar nikla rahe. Ishu Masih ke Praeshchit ke kaaran, vachan banana apan sacha irrada se saathe pura roop se uske samaan dena aap ke zindagi hamesha ke liye ashish dei. Aap aur Uddhaarkarta jaisa banega jab aap uske hamesha yaad karega, Uske raasta pe chalega, aur Use pujega. Hum gawahi deta ki Woh hi atal buniyaad hai. Uspe bharosa kiya jaa sakta hai, aur Uske vaade sachche hai. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
