Kujidhibiti ni mojawapo ya mambo muhimu ambayo kila mwanadamu anahitaji ili kuwa mshindi katika maisha na kumpendeza Mungu. Hapa kuna mambo matano muhimu ya tabia yetu ya kufahamu:

1. Wasiwasi
Wasiwasi huondoa tamaa ya kufanya kile tunachopaswa kufanya na huondoa furaha yetu.
« Msijisumbue kwa neno lo lote; bali katika kila neno mjulisheni Mungu haja zenu kwa maombi… »(Wafilipi 4:6)

2. Uoga
Hofu haitoki kwa Mungu! Inatoka kwa adui lakini Mungu alitupa roho ya nguvu ya kuitawala.
« Maana Mungu hakutupa roho ya woga, bali ya nguvu, na ya upendo, na ya kiasi. »(2 Timotheo 1:7)

3. Hasira
Tusipokuwa waangalifu, hasira hutuongoza kuwa na jeuri na kutofanya mapenzi ya Mungu.
“Mwe na hasira, ila msitende dhambi; jua lisichwe na uchungu wenu bado haujawatoka, wala msimpe Ibilisi nafasi.”(Waefeso 4:26-27)

4. Majaribu
Majaribu mbalimbali yamekusudiwa kutuongoza katika dhambi. Neno la Mungu linatutaka tushinde.
« Mwanangu, wenye dhambi wakikushawishi, usiwakubalie. »(Mithali 1:10).

5. Machukizo
Ni juu ya chuki zote ambazo tumehifadhi mioyoni mwetu. Hebu tujue kwamba ni sumu kwa maisha yetu.
« …mkiwa na neno juu ya mtu, msameheni, ili na Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe ninyi dhambi zenu. »(Marko 11:25).

Tukifaulu kutawala wasiwasi wetu na woga wetu, kupinga vishawishi vyote na kushinda chuki zetu, tunaweza kufanya mapenzi ya Mungu kwa urahisi na kumpendeza.
Mungu atusaidie kujidhibiti.

God never looks at us as we see ourselves, nor as others see us!

When God ordered Samuel to go and anoint one of the sons of Esai who was to become king of Israel, Samuel was impressed by the beauty and stature of David’s brothers, when it was rather David whom God had chosen.
So God said to him:
« The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. »(1 Samuel 16:7)

When God looked at David, He saw in him a valiant warrior and an exceptional worshipper, a courageous king, a king after his own heart while his brothers despised him and saw in him only a poor shepherd.
When others look at us, they see what they have heard of us, they see our social category, they see our functions or ranks, they see the situation in which we find ourselves, they see our dress, our height, our morphology, etc.
But God Himself, looks at the heart, where are hidden our qualities and our potentialities that others cannot see and where are imprinted his different projects for us.

May God help us to be able to distrust the way others see us.

Dieu ne nous regarde jamais comme nous nous voyons nous-mêmes, ni comme les autres nous voient!

Lorsque Dieu ordonna à Samuel d’aller oindre un des fils d’Esaï qui allait devenir roi d’Israël, Samuel a été impressionné par la beauté et la taille des frères de David, alors que c’était plutôt David que Dieu avait choisi.
Alors Dieu lui a dit:
« L’Éternel ne considère pas ce que l’homme considère; l’homme regarde à ce qui frappe les yeux, mais l’Éternel regarde au coeur. »(1 Samuel 16:7)

Lorsque Dieu regardait David, Il voyait en lui un guerrier valeureux et un adorateur exceptionnel, un roi courageux, un roi selon son cœur alors que ses frères le méprisaient et ne voyaient en lui qu’un pauvre berger.
Lorsque les autres nous regardent, ils voient ce qu’ils ont entendu dire de nous, ils voient notre catégorie sociale, ils voient nos fonctions ou nos grades, ils voient la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, ils voient notre habillement, notre taille, notre morphologie, etc.
Mais Dieu Lui, regarde au cœur, où sont cachés nos qualités et nos potentialités que les autres ne peuvent pas voir et où sont imprimés ses différents projets pour nous.

Que Dieu nous aide à pouvoir nous méfier de la manière dont les autres nous voient.

Mungu kamwe hatutazami jinsi tunavyojiona, wala jinsi wengine wanavyotuona!

Mungu alipomwagiza Samweli kwenda kumtia mafuta mmoja wa wana wa Esai ambaye angekuwa mfalme wa Israeli, Samweli alivutiwa na uzuri na kimo cha ndugu zake Daudi, wakati ni Daudi ambaye Mungu alimchagua.
Basi Mungu akamwambia:
“Bwana haangalii kama binadamu aangaliavyo; maana wanadamu huitazama sura ya nje, bali Bwana huutazama moyo.”(1 Samweli 16:7).

Mungu alipomtazama Daudi, aliona ndani yake shujaa wa vita na mwabudu wa kipekee, mfalme shupavu, mfalme anayeupendeza moyo wake wakati ndugu zake walimdharau na kumwona tu mchungaji maskini.
Wengine wakitutazama wanaona walichosikia kwetu, wanaona kategoria yetu ya kijamii, wanaona kazi au vyeo vyetu, wanaona hali tunayojikuta, wanaona mavazi yetu, urefu wetu, maumbile yetu, na kadhalika.
Lakini Mungu Mwenyewe, anautazama moyo, ambapo sifa zetu zimefichwa na uwezo wetu ambao wengine hawawezi kuuona na mahali ambapo miradi yake mbalimbali imechapishwa kwa ajili yetu.

Mungu atusaidie tuweze kutoamini jinsi wengine wanavyotuona.

The islanders who saw the viper bite the apostle Paul on his hand, they believed that he was certainly a murderer condemned by God, since, according to them, Justice did not want to let him live, after he had been rescued from the sea.

« The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. »( Acts 28:6)

Indeed, God does not allow evil to destroy a person for whom He still has good plans. Paul dead, his apostolic mission would have been cut short.
The same goes for people who hate us or are jealous of us.
When they see us falling into a dangerous situation, they think it’s over, that we can’t get out of it.
So they expect the situation to get worse and destroy us. And yet, as long as God still has good plans for us, no harm happens to us, the venom of evil that strikes us has no effect on us.

PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to remain under your protection in all places.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.

Les barbares qui ont vu le vipère mordre l’apôtre Paul à sa main, crurent qu’il était assurément un meurtrier condamné par Dieu, puisque, selon eux, la Justice n’a pas voulu le laisser vivre, après qu’il ait été sauvé de la mer.

« Ces gens s’attendaient à le voir enfler ou tomber mort subitement; mais, après avoir longtemps attendu, voyant qu’il ne lui arrivait aucun mal, ils changèrent d’avis et dirent que c’était un dieu. »(Actes 28:6)

En effet, Dieu n’autorise pas au mal de détruire une personne pour qui, Il a encore de bons projets. Paul mort, sa mission apostolique aurait été ainsi écourtée.
Il en est de même pour les gens qui nous détestent ou sont jaloux de nous.
Lorsqu’ils nous voient tomber dans une situation dangereuse, ils croient que c’est fini, que nous ne pouvons pas nous en sortir.
Ainsi, ils s’attendent que la situation s’empire et qu’elle nous détruise. Et pourtant, tant que Dieu a encore de bons projets pour nous, il ne nous arrive aucun mal, le venin du mal qui nous frappe reste sans effet sur nous.

PRIÈRE:
Notre Père qui êtes aux cieux, donnez-nous de rester sous votre protection en tous lieux.
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jésus-Christ que nous prions, Amen.
