Dealing with Problems
Kushughulika na Matatizo
Kushughulika na Matatizo
Over the years I have read a number of articles written by health professionals which stated that most sickness is psychosomatic; that is, what is in the mind (psyche) affects what happens to the body (soma). One doctor I spoke with claimed that up to 95% of sicknesses were so caused.
>Kwa miaka mingi nilisoma idadi ya makala zilizoandikwa na wataalamu wa afya ambazo zilisema kwamba magonjwa mengi ni ya kisaikolojia; yaani kile kilicho akilini (psyche) huathiri kile kinachotokea kwenye mwili (soma). Daktari mmoja niliyezungunza naye alidai kwamba hadi 95% ya magonjwa yalisababishwa.
Read on to see real-life examples, some being very simple, of problems which were never resolved and which led to major issues later on.
>Soma ili uone mifano halisi ya maisha, mingine ikiwa sahili sana, ya matatizo ambayo hayajawahi kutatuliwa na ambayo yalisababisha masuala makubwa baadaye
The simple techniques described below have had a 100% success rate in resolving complex social and painful medical situations during personal ministry. The techniques described should not require the presence of a third party - in other words, you can "do it yourself".
>Mbinu rahisi zilizoelezwa hapa chini zimekuwa na kiwango cha mafanikio cha 100% katika kutatua hali ngumu za kijamii na chungu za matibabu wakati wa huduma ya kibinafsi. Mbinu zilizoelezwa hazihitaji kuwepo kwa tatu - kwa maneno mengine, unaweza "kufanya mwenyewe".

When we make mistakes the enemy, that is, the devil and the demonic spirits attached to him, are given power over us to do us harm. This harm can take many forms, some of which are listed several sections below as conditions based in the mind, and includes sickness, poor health, mental conditions, accidents, loss, destruction of relationships, property, business or belongings, and death. (A thorough treatment of this issue can be found in the Menu article Mistakes.)
>Tunapofanya makosa adui, ambayo ni, shetani na roho za pepo zilizowekwa kwake, wanapewa nguvu juu yetu kutudhuru.Ubaya huu unaweza kuchukua aina nyingi, ambazo kadhaa zimeorodheshwa sehemu kadhaa hapa chini kama hali ya akili, na ni pamoja na magonjwa, afya mbaya, hali ya akili, ajali, upotezaji, uharibifu wa uhusiano, mali, biashara au umiliki, na kifo.
If we are the ones who committed the offences then any of those things listed above could happen to us. >Ikiwa ni sisi tuliofanya makosa basi yoyote ya mambo hayo yaliyoorodheshwa hapo juu yanaweza kutokea kwetu.
One thing that confuses many people is that when they are offended against (in other words, someone has caused harm or done something wrong to them), they also suffer, not just physically from what happened if it was an assault, but also mentally and, quite often, from other physical conditions which seem to follow on.
>Jambo moja linalowachanganya watu wengi ni kwamba wanapokasirika dhidi ya (kwa maneno mengine, mtu amesababisha madhara au kufanya kitu kibaya kwao ), pia wanateseka, sio tu kwa mwili kutoka kwa kile kilichotokea ikiwa ni shambulio, lakini pia kiakili na, mara nyingi kutoka kwa hali zingine za mwili ambazo zinaonekana kufuata.
In the last 8 years we have ministered healing to several thousand people in church, school or conference settings, on the streets and through text messaging apps and phone calls. When people don’t get healed or released on the spot we have found consistently that there was an issue in their past that they had not dealt with correctly. Once they dealt with that issue then healing would happen either immediately or, in the case of some conditions, within a few days.
>Katika miaka 8 iliyopita nimehudumia uponyaji kwa watu elfu kadhaa kanisani, shule au mipangilio ya mkutano, barabarani na kupitia jumbe fundi wa maandishi au hata simu.Wakati watu hawaponywi au kuachiliwa papo hapo tumegundua mara kwa mara kwamba kulikuwa na suala hapo zamani ambalo hawakushughulikia kwa usahihi - mara tu waliposhughulikia hilo suala basi uponyaji ungetokea mara moja au, kwa hali fulani, ndani ya siku chache.
Example 1 - Professional man in his thirties, unemployed for 18 months and had run out of money, wife starting to date other men in spite of them having a young child together. (Ministry via Messenger texting.)
>Mfano 1 - Mtu wa kitaalam katika miaka yake thelathini, hana kazi kwa miezi 18 na alikuwa amemaliza pesa, mke alianza uhusiano wa kimapenzi na wanaume wengine licha ya kuwa na mtoto mchanga pamoja. (Huduma kupitia ujumbe fupi wa maandishi)
This man admitted that when he was at university he had behaved very badly towards many young women students. While I could guess what he meant I did not ask for details or require them for God to correct the problem. >Mtu huyu alikiri kwamba alikuwa chuo kikuu alikuwa na tabia mbaya sana kwa wanafunzi wengi wa wanawake. Wakati ningeweza kudhani alimaanisha sikuuliza maelezo au kuyahitaji kwa Mungu kusahihisha shida.
After confessing to his mistakes before God and acknowledging that he should not have behaved in that way, he was set free in a way that he could feel and sense. A new job in his field took about 3 months. >Baada ya kukiri makosa yake mbele za Mungu na kukiri kwamba hangefaa kuishi kwa njia hiyo, aliwekwa huru, kwa njia ambayo angeweza kuhisi na kuskia. Kazi mpya katika uwanja wake ilikuwa kama miezi 3
Example 2 - Kenyan man in his fifties, in considerable pain from edema, the swelling of his lower body because of the retention of body fluid. His condition was so acute that his penis had retracted inside his body so that he could no longer urinate properly, either. While waiting for ministry he had wet all down his trouser leg. The edema and pain had been with him for about 6 months. (Ministry in person at a conference.)
>Mfano2 - Mkenya mtu katika hamsini yake, kwa maumivu makubwa kutoka kwa edema, uvimbe wa mwili wake wa chini kwa sababu ya utunzaji wa maji ya mwili. Hali yake ilikuwa ya papo hapo kwamba uume wake ulikuwa umerejea ndani ya mwili wake ili asiweze tena kukojoa vizuri, pia. Wakati akingojea huduma alikuwa na amelowesha chini ya mguu wake wa suruali. Edema na maumivu yalikuwa pamoja naye kwa angalaun miezi 6.(Huduma ya kibinafsi katika mkutano.)
When the usual, simple ministry brought no change in his pain he revealed that a neighbour had stolen and sold his kuku (chicken) and refused to give him any money from the sale of it. >Wakati wa kawaida, huduma rahisi haikuleta mabadiliko katika maumivu yake alifunua kwamba jirani alikuwa ameiba na kuuza kuku wake na alikataa kumpa pesa yoyote kutokana na uuzaji wake.
After admitting before God that he should not have allowed enmity to develop with his neighbour in spite of what had happened, and after turning and facing the direction where the offence took place and, in the spirit, saying to the neighbour who was not present that he would like to be friends again, the pain left him. Within three days the edema had gone and he was completely well again.
>Baada ya kukubali mbele za Mungu kwamba hangepaswa kuruhusu uadui kukuza na jirani yake licha ya kile kilichotokea, na baada ya kugeuka na kukabili mwelekeo ambao kosa hilo lilifanyika na, kwa roho, likimwambia jirani ambaye hakuwepo kwamba angependa kuwa marafiki tena, maumivu yalimuacha. Ndani ya siku tatu edema ilikuwa imeenda na alikuwa vizuri tena.
Example 3 - Young woman, just 18, badly beaten and raped during a home invasion. Unable to even give me that information, asked me to get the basic details from a friend of hers. Had despaired of life, was angry, suffering from depression, anxiety and more. (Ministry via text over 18 months.)
>Mfano 3 - Mwanamke mchanga, 18 tu, alipigwa vibaya na kubakwa wakati wa uvamizi wa nyumbani. Hangeweza kunipa habari hiyo, aliniuliza nipate maelezo ya msingi kutoka kwa rafiki yake. Alikuwa amekataa tamaa ya maisha, alikasirika, akisumbuliwa na unyugofu, wasiwasi na zaidi. (Huduma kupitia ujummbe fupi,zaidi ya miezi 18 )
After dealing with the assault issues and problems arising from that she was able to function better, although she could not relate to men at college because of anger. I found out some background information from her: due to a poor relationship with her father she had moved in to live with relatives in another city where she was attacked, and she had been calling the male relative, “Dad.”
> Baada ya kushughulikia maswala ya kushambuliwa na shida zinazotokana na hiyo aliweza kufanya kazi vizuri, ingawa hakuweza kuhusiana na wanaume chuoni kwa sababu ya hasira. Niligundua habari fulani ya nyuma kutoka kwake: kwa sababu ya uhusiano duni na baba yake alikuwa amehamia kuishi na jamaa katika mji mwingine ambapo alishambuliwa, na alikuwa akiita jamaa wa kiume,"baba."
We dealt with anger and other problems as they arose. However, even many months later she still could not refer to anything that happened on the evening in question, and deal with it, nor was she willing to acknowledge that, had she dealt correctly with the problem with her father rather than running away, she would not have been anywhere near where the offence took place. She gradually moved from being antagonistic towards men in general into a relationship with a married man and became pregnant. Some unhealthy, illogical attitudes also surfaced, such as the idea that her new baby would grow up and give her the love she craved and felt she needed. Her “marriage” was not working very well, either.
>Tulishughulikia hasira na shida zingine zilipoibuka. Walakini, hata miezi mingi baadaye bado hakuweza kurejelea kitu chochote kilichotokea jioni inayohojiwa, na kukabiliana nayo, na hakuwa tayari kukiri hilo, kama angeshughulikia kwa usahihi shida na baba yake badala ya kukimbia, asingekuwa mahali popote karibu na kosa hilo lilifanyika. Hatua kwa hatua alihama kutoka kuwa mpinzani kwa wanaume kwa ujumla kuwa uhusiano na mtu aliyeolewa na kuwa mjamzito. Baadhi ya mitazamo isiyofaa na kuwa na maana pia iliongezeka, kama vile wazo kwamba mtoto wake mchanga atakua na kumpa upendon alioutamani na kuhisi anahitaji." Ndoa" yake haikufanya vizuri pia.
At this stage I realised that I should have pushed harder long before to get her to confront the real issue, her relationship with her father. Once I repented and apologised before God for my own timidity and lack of action They were quickly able to open up a way for me to help her deal with her relationship with her father. She acknowledged the problem was hers, and that she should have never been where she was on the night she was attacked. She was set free and could now talk freely about it and, more importantly, move on in life and make wise choices.
>Katika hatua hii niligundua kuwa nilipaswa kusukuma kwa muda mrefu kabla ya kumfanya akabiliane na suala halisi, uhusiano wake na baba yake. Mara tu nilipotubu na kuomba msamaha mbele za Mungu kwa hali yangu ya kutisha na ukosefu wa hatua waliweza kunifungulia njia ya kumsaidia kukabiliana na uhusiano wake naye baba. Alikubali shida hiyo ni yake, na kwamba hajawahi kuwa mahali alikuwa usiku alishambuliwa. Alikuwa huru na sasa angeweza kuzungumza kwa uhuru juu yake na muhimu zaidi, kuendelea katika maisha na kufanya uchaguzi wenye busara.
Her attitudes changed almost instantly and she became a successful businesswoman, as well as a good mother in a productive marriage.
>Mitazamo yake ilibadilika mara moja na alikua mfanyabiashara aliyefanikiwa na mama mzuri katika ndoa yenye manufaa
Example 4: Man in the US with chronic back pain, in his 80s. (Ministry via phone call.)
> Mfano 4: Mtu huko Amerika na maumivu sugu ya mgongo, katika miaka yake ya 80. (Huduma kupitia kwa simu)
He had had the back pain for at least ten years, and pain killers did not help much. When he held out his hands before God the pain diminished a little, and then remained the same. When questioned about any relationship issues with anyone he admitted that he had been quite harsh with his wife over the years, and that he would like to stop and have God help him treat her with the gentleness and calmness she deserved. He apologised before God and also to his wife, who was in the room with him.
>Alikuwa na maumivu ya mgongo kwa angalau miaka kumi, dawa ya kupunguza maumivu hayakusaidia sana.Aliposhika mikono yake mbele za Mungu maumivu yalipungua kidogo,kisha akabaki sawa. Alipoulizwa juu ya maswala yoyote ya uhusiano na mtu yeyote alikirikwamba alikuwa mkali sana na mkewe kwa miaka, na kwamba angependa kuacha na Mungu amsaidie kumtendea kwa upole na utulivu aliostahili. Aliomba msamaha mbele za Mungu na pia kwa mkewe, ambaye alikuwa chumbani naye.
This time the pain left completely and he texted me some months later to say how happy he was to be pain-free and released in that way.
>Wakati huu maumivu yaliondoka kabisa na alinitumia ujumbe mfupi miezi kadhaa baadaye kusema jinsi alivyokuwa na furaha ya kutokuwa na maumivu ma kuachiliwa kwa njia hiyo.
Example 5 Middle-aged man with pain all through his body for at least ten years. (During and after morning church service.)
>Mfano 5: Mtu mwenye umri wa kati na maumivu kupitia mwili wake kwa angalau miaka kumi. (Wakati na baada ya huduma ya kanisa la asubuhi.)
During the service there had been little to no change in his condition. I went up to him as the service was ending. He acknowledged that there had been a disagreement of sorts with someone, but wasn’t sure that anything could be done about it. He was a supervisor and had once written a report about an incident in which the other man was involved. As a result of the report the other man had lost his job, which was not the intention of the man standing before me. He had not spoken to the man afterwards, who had since died. This is not a problem for healing, as events soon showed. >Wakati wa huduma kulikuwa na mabadiliko kidogo katika hali yake. Nilikwenda kwake wakati huduma ilikuwa inamalizika. Alikubali kwamba kumekuwa na kutokubaliana kwa aina na mtu, lakini hakuwa na uhakika kwamba kitu chochote kinaweza kufanywa juu yake.Alikuwa msimamizi na wakati mmoja alikuwa ameandika ripoti kuhusu tukio ambalo mtu huyo mwingine alihusika. Kama matokeo ya ripoti huyo mtu mwingine alikuwa amepoteza kazi, ambayo haikuwa nia ya mtu huyo kusimama mbele yangu. Hakuwa ameongea na mtu huyo baadaye, ambaye alikuwa amekufa tangu hapo. Hilo sio shida, kama matukio yalionyesha hivi karibuni
I led him in a simple apology before God and then had him face the direction in which the incident occurred. He apologised to the man as if he was standing in front of him - in a sense he was - and the pain left his body within a few seconds. >Nilimwongoza kwa msamaha rahisi mbele za Mungu na kisha nikamfanya akabiliane na mwelekeo ambao tukio hilo lilitokea. Aliomba msamaha kwa mtu huyo kana kwamba alikuwa amesimama mbele yake - kwa maana alikuwa - na maumivuyaliiacha mwili wake ndani ya sekunde chache.
Example 6 Woman with 6 year old boy with badly inflamed adenoids, loud snoring, for 12 months. The mother asked me initially for money for medicine but I declined, as always, since it is more exciting to deal with the problem in God’s way. (Via Facebook Messenger.)
>Mfano 6 Mwanamke na mvulana wa miaka 6 na uchochezi zilizo vimba vibaya, kukoroma kubwa kwa miezi 12. Mama aliniuliza hapo awali kwa pesa za dawa lakini nilikataa, kama kawaida, kwani ni ya kufurahisha zaidi kushughulikia shida kwa njia ya Mungu. (kupitia mtandao wa facebook)
At my request the woman held her hands over her son, told Inflammation to go, and the snoring stopped for a day or so. After asking some questions she revealed that her husband had left her several years earlier and she was raising the children by herself. She also acknowledged that they would argue before he would beat her, and that this would happen in front of the children. (When I asked if he beat her she said, with some surprise, “How did you know?”) I explained that, even though the children were not personally involved, they were witnessing something that was very traumatic for them, and for which many children feel unduly responsible for. It took some days for her to realise that this was not appropriate behaviour in front of children and that, at the very least, she needed to apologise before God and before the children for what she and their father had done.
> Kwa ombi langu mwanamke huyo akashika mikono juu ya mtoto wake, akamwambia uchochezi nenda, na kukoroma ilisimama kwa siku moja au zaidi. Baada ya kuuliza maswali kadhaa alifunua kwamba mumewe alikuwa amemwacha miaka kadhaa mapema na alikuwa akilea watoto pekee yake.Alikubali pia kwamba wangebishana kabla ya kumpiga, na kwamba hii itatokea mbele ya watoto. (Nilipouliza ikiwa alimpiga alisema, kwa mshangao fulani, "Ulijuaje?") Nilielezea kuwa, ingawa watoto hawakuhusika kibinafsi, walishuhudia kitu ambacho kilikuwa cha kiwewe kwao, na ambacho watoto wengi wanahisi kuwajibika vibaya. Ilichukua siku kadhaa kwake kugungua kuwa tabia sahihi mbele ya watoto ni kwamba, angalau, alihitaji kuomba msamaha mbele ya Mungu na mbele ya watoto kwa kile yeye na baba yao walikuwa wamefanya.
She eventually agreed to do so after her son’s condition worsened and became more of a problem at school. As she followed my written text instructions and apologised before God and to her absent husband for arguing with him in front of the children, and for allowing physical violence to develop, her son, who was sleeping and snoring loudly in the next room and unable to hear physically what his mother was saying, suddenly stopped snoring. When she checked him the next morning the inflammation had gone and when I checked some months later he was still fine.
>Mwishowe alikubali kufanya hivyo baada ya hali ya mtoto wake kuzidi na kuwa shida shuleni. Alipokuwa akiufuta maagizo yangu ya jumbe fupi na kuomba msamaha mbele za Mungu na kwa mumewe aliyekuwepo kwa kubishana naye mbele ya watoto, na kwa kuruhusu vurugu za mwili kukuza, mtoto wake, ambaye alikuwa amelala na kupiga kelele kwa sauti kwenye chumba kinachofuata na hakuweza kusikia mwili kile mama yake alikuwa akisema, ghafla aliacha kuteleza.Alipomtazama asubuhi ilifuata kuvimba kumeenda na nilipoangalia miezi kadhaa baadaye alikuwa bado vizuri.
When we do something wrong we give the enemy power over us to do us or, sometimes, someone else, harm.
>Tunapofanya kitu kibaya tunampa adui nguvu juu yetu kutudhuru.
When we acknowledge that we are sorry and admit our mistake before God and, where possible, the other person, the enemy generally have to release us (and sometimes someone else) from the penalty which they have applied.
>Tunapokiri kwamba tunasikitika kosa letu mbele za Mungu na, inapowezekana, mtu mwingine, adui kwa ujumla lazima atuachilie (na wakati mwingine mtu mwingine) kutoka kwa adhabu ambayo wameomba.
"Repent" simply means "to change your mind." Once we change our mind changed actions can and will follow.
> "Toba" inamaanisha tu "kubadilisha mawazo yako." Mara tu tutabadilisha mawazo yetu hatua zilizobadilishwa zinaweza na zitafuata.
"Confess" means to say what we have done wrong.
> "Kukiri" Inamaanisha kusema kile tumefanya vibaya.
"Contrition" means to be sorry for an action or thought.
> "Kujuta" inamaanisha sahamani kwa hatua au mawazo.
When we use these three tools together we see people set free of all sorts of sickness, pain, misfortune and error. We recommend that you stand and hold out your hands before God, palms upturned and open to receive, as you do this.
> Tunapotumia zana hizi tatu pamoja tunaona watu wakiwa huru kila aina ya magonjwa, maumivu, bahati mbaya na makosa. Tunapendekeza usimame na ushike mikono yako mbele za Mungu, mitende ikainuka na wazi kupokea, kama unavyofanya hivi.
You could say something like this before God, using the parts that apply to you:
> Unaweza kusema kitu kama hiki mbele za Mungu, ukitumia sehemu ambazo zinatumika kwako.
"Father/Papa/Lord God (use the term or word that works for you, or use another term you like),
> "Baba/Papa/Bwana Mungu ( tumia kiwakilishi au neno ambalo linakufanyia kazi, au utumie neno lingine unalopenda)
"I'm sorry that I have been thinking the wrong way about the relationship and connection between men and women. I'm sorry that I have misunderstood scripture and Your plan. I want to change, I want to agree with you in everything that I do. I want to now treat women as equal.
> "Samahani kuwa nimekuwa nikifikiria njia mbaya juu ya uhusiano na mwingiliano kati ya wanaume na wanawake. Samahani kwamba sijaelewa kwamba maandishi na mpango wako. Nataka kubadilika, nataka kukubaliana na wewe katika kila kitu ninachofanya. Nataka sasa kuwahudumia wanawake kama sawa.
"Thank you, Jesus, for setting me free." > "Asante Yesu kwa kuniweka huru."
If we don't deal correctly with bad things that we do or bad things that happen to us then the enemy get advantage over us to do us harm. This harm could be in many forms, but common ways of bringing harm to people because of wrong actions result in sickness, pain, accident, loss, destruction and/or death. This is covered in much more detail on the website - www.thechurch.solutions/problems - in the section "Job - Why Things Go Wrong" or select from the menu the page called Problems.
> Ikiwa hatutashughulika kwa usahihi na vitu vibaya ambavyo tunafanya au vitu vibaya ambavyo vinatupata basi adui anapata faida juu yetu kutudhuru. Ubaya huu unaweza kuwa katika aina nyingi, lakini njia za kawaida za kuleta madhara kwa watu kwa sababu ya vitendo vibaya husababisha ugonjwa, maumivu, ajali, upotezaji, uharibifu na/ au kifo. Hii inafunzwa kwa undani zaidi kwenye wavuti - www.thechurch.solutions/problems - katika sehemu "Ayubu Kwanini Vitu vinakwenda Mbaya" au uchague kutoka kwenye menyu ukurasa unaoitwa Shida.
We recommend that you stand and hold out your hands before God, palms upturned and open to receive, and face the direction in which the offense took place, or if the person involved is alive, face the direction in which you think they would be right now.
> Tunapendekeza usimame na ushike mikono yako mbele za Mungu, mitende ikaibuka na wazi kupokea, na uso kwa mwelekeo ambao kosa hilo lilifanyika, au ikiwa mtu anayehusika yuko hai, uso kwa mwelekeo ambao unafikiri wangekuwa hivi sasa.
You could say something like this before God, using the parts that apply to you:
> Unaeza kusema kitu kama hiki mbele za Mungu, ukitumia sehemu ambazo zinatumika
"Father/Papa/Lord God (use the term or word that works for you, or use another term you like),
> "Baba/Papa/Bwana Mungu (tumia kiwakilishi au neno linakufanyia kazi, au utumie neno lingine unalopenda),
"I'm sorry that I ... (name the thing that you did and name the person involved, even if they are no longer alive). I should not have done that, it was very wrong. I will not do that again.
> "Samahani kwamba mimi… (taja kitu ambacho ulifanya na kumtaja mtu anayehusika, hata ikiwa hawako hai tena ). Singepaswa kufanya hivyo, ilikuwa mbaya sana. Sitafanya hivyo tena.
"Thank you Jesus for setting me free in Your blood."
> "Asante Yesu kwa kuniweka huru katika damu yako."
Where possible say similar words to the victim in real life, without suggesting or apportioning any blame to them. (When apologising in this way to a person there is no need to add the last, 'Thank you Jesus' part.)
> Ikiwezekana sema maneno sawa na mwathirika katika maisha halisi, bila kupendekeza au kugawa lawama yoyote kwao. (Wakati wa kuomba msamaha kwa njia hii kwa mtu hakuna haja ya kuongeza sehemu ya mwisho, 'Asante Yesu'.)
This last part, where we don't try to blame the other person for anything that happened, is most important! That part is between them and God. Only when we accept responsibility for something we have done wrong, without blaming someone else, can we be set free.
> Sehemu hii ya mwisho, ambapo hatujaribu kumlaumu mtu mwingine kwa kitu chochote kilichokea, ni muhimu sana ! Sehemu hiyo ni kati yao na Mungu. Ni wakati tu tunakubali jukumu la kitu ambacho tumefanya vibaya, bila kumlaumu mtu mwingine, tunaweza kuwekwa huru.
We do not need to ask someone, anyone, whether God or man, to forgive us.
> Hatuitaji kuuliza mtu, mtu yeyote, iwe Mungu au mwanadamu, atusamehe.
When we ask someone to forgive us we are saying or accusing them that they have not already forgiven us; we are subtly saying that they themselves have done something wrong. This places the victim of our original bad action at a disadvantage to us. This is not godly, because we are trying to shift some blame to them rather than taking responsibility for what we did wrong.
> Tunapouliza mtu atusamehe au kuwatuhumu kuwa hawajatusamehe; tunasema kwa kweli kwamba wao wenyewe wamefanya kitu kibaya. Hii inaweka mwathirika wa hatua yetu mbaya ya asili kwa shida kwetu. Hii sio kiungu, kwa sababu tunajaribu kuwabadilisha lawama badala ya kuchukua jukumu la kile tulichofanya vibaya.
Instead, forgiveness is what we apply automatically (or after some solid thinking about the situation), whenever someone does something wrong to us. Forgiveness is the act or thought of saying, no matter what the circumstances, one or the other of these two things:
> Badala yake, msamaha ndio tunaomba moja kwa moja (au baada ya kufikiria kwa dhabiti juu ya hali hiyo ), wakati wowote mtu atakapotutendea kitu kibaya. Msamaha ni kitendo au mawazo ya kusema, haijalishi hali gani, moja au nyingine ya mambo haya mawili
"They didn't know how bad their action would be for me, so I am going to release them in my heart and feelings." This compares to the attitude of Jesus on the Cross, when He said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34) However, we do not need to ask God to forgive the person who offended against us, we just have to release them ourselves.
> "Hawakujua jinsi hatua yao ingekuwa mbaya kwangu, kwa hivyo nitawaachilia moyoni mwangu na hisia." Hii inalinganishwa na mtazamo wa Yesu Msalabani, aliposema, "Baba, wasamehe, kwa maana hawajui wanafanya nini." (Luke 23:34) Walakini, hatuitaji kumuuliza Mungu amsamehe mtu aliyetukosea, lazima tu tuwaachilie wenyewe.
In the second situation, where someone has set out to deliberately harm us, we adopt the same attitude that Joseph used to handle the situation with his brothers, who originally wanted to kill him but then sold him into slavery. "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good." (Genesis 50:20) In other words, God is able to make all things, no matter what the circumstances, work together for good when we handle the situation(s) in His way. (Romans 8:28)
> Katika hali ya pili, ambapo mtu ameamua kutuumiza kwa makusudi, tunachukua mtazamo huo huo ambao Yoshua alikuwa akishughulikia hali hiyo na ndugu zake, ambaye hapo awali alitaka kumuua lakini kisha akauzwa kwa utumwa. "Ulimaanisha uovu dhidi yangu, lakini Mungu alimaanisha kwa uzuri." (Mwanzo 50:20 ) Kwa maneno mengine, Mungu anaweza kutengeneza vitu vyote, haijalishi hali gani, fanya kazi kwa uzuri tunaposhughulikia hali kwa njia yake. ( Warumi 8:28 )
In this way, once we release the other person we will also be released from the penalties that the enemy are able to apply to us. These penalties can include depression (feeling bad about ourselves or our situation), oppression (feeling bad about others and wanting to harm them or seek revenge), paranoia (where we think other people are trying to harm us), dissociation (where, under the stress or pain of a very traumatic event we blank out our mind to minimise the pain, with the result that a part of our personality splits off and resurfaces at seemingly random intervals), memory loss, bipolar disorder (where you experience feelings of elation and excitement, followed by feelings of great sadness or depression), addiction and many sicknesses and diseases, which are based in our mind or feelings.
> Kwa njia hii, mara tu tutakapomwachilia mtu mwingine pia tutaachiliwa kutoka kwa adhabu ambayo adui anaweza kutudhuru. Adhabu hizi zinaweza kujumuisha unyogovu (kuhisi vibaya juu yetu wenyewe au hali yetu), ukandamizaji (unahisi vibaya juu ya wengine na kutaka kuwadhuru au kutafuta kulipiza kisasi), paranoia (ambapo tunafikiria watu wengine wanajaribu kutudhuru), kujitenga (mahali chini ya mafadhaiko au maumivu ya tukio lenye kiwewe sana tunaweka akili zetu kupunguza maumivu, na matokeo yake sehemu ya utu wetu hugawanyika na kuibuka tena kwa vipindi vinavyoonekana kuwa vya bahati nasibu), upotezaji wa kumbukumbu, shida ya kupumua (ambapo unapata hisia za kuchemka na msisimko, ikifuatiwa na hisia za huzuni kubwa au unyogovu), ulevi na magonjwa mengi, ambayo ni ya akili au hisia zetu.
Forgiveness is the attitude of release that we hold towards someone who has harmed us. Forgiveness does not mean that the offender should be released from any legal penalty for their actions, especially if there is a chance that they could offend again against you or someone else.
> Msamaha ni mtazamo wa kutolewa ambao tunashikilia kwa mtu ambaye ametuumiza. Msamaha haimaanishi kuwa mkosaji anapaswa kutolewa kwa adhabu yoyote ya kisheria kwa vitendo vyao, haswa ikiwa kuna nafasi kwamba wanaweza kukosea tena dhidi yako au mtu mwingine.
Remember this, though, that in this life we will not always see justice for ourselves, our family members, friends, or anyone else. However, in the age to come there is a judgment from God which will deal with both the good and the bad that we and others have done, and which will produce a varying reward based on our actions in this short lifetime. See 1 Corinthians 3:8-15 >Kumbuka hii, hata hivyo, kwamba katika maisha haya hatutaona haki kila wakati sisi wenyewe, wanafamilia, marafiki, au mtu mwingine yeyote. Walakini, katika umri ujao kuna hukumu kutoka kwa Mungu ambayo itashughulikia mema na mabaya ambayo sisi na wengine tumefanya, na ambayo itatoa thawabu tofauti kulingana na vitendo vyetu katika maisha haya mafupi. Tazama 1 WoK 3:8-15.
After addressing the person by name, say: > Baada ya kuhutubia mtu huyo kwa jina, sema:
"I'm sorry, I should not have done that (name what you did wrong without providing an excuse or alibi) to...(name the person out loud if you are by yourself, quietly if you are in a group). I won't do that again." >"Samahani, nisingefanya hivyo ( jina la kike ulichofanya vibaya bila kutoa udhuru au alibi). kwa…(jina la mtu huyo kwa sauti kubwa ikiwa uko pekee yako, kimya ikiwa uko katika kikundi ). Sitafanya hivyo tena"
Don't let this become a formula response - it must be real and genuine, from the heart. When we consider what we did wrong in this way we will generally feel great remorse and sorrow for our actions as Holy Spirit works in us, through our conscience.
> Usiruhusu hii kuwa majibu ya formula - lazima iwe halisi na ya kweli, kutoka moyoni. Tunapofikiria kile tulichofanya vibaya kwa njia hii kwa ujumla tutasikia majuto makubwa na huzuni kwa matendo yetu kama Roho Mtakatifu anafanya kazi ndani yetu, kupitia dhamiri yetu.
There is no need to explain why you responded or acted in that way unless you are able to explain why you are affected negatively, and how you will overcome that. The focus must remain on what you did wrong, not on what the other person did to trigger your mistake. (In other words we do not say to someone, "I was carried away by your revealing top and tight jeans." All of us are capable of exercising self-control in any situation.)
>Hakuna haja ya kuelezea ni kwnini ulijibu au kutenda kwa njia hiyo isipokuwa unaweza kuelezea ni kwanini umeathiriwa vibaya, na jinsi utakavyoshinda hiyo. Lengo lazima libaki kwenye kile ulichofanya vibaya, sio kwa kile mtu mwingine alifanya ili kusababisha kosa lako.(Kwa maneno mengine hatusemi kwa mtu, "Nilichukuliwa na vazi lako ambalo linaonyesha uchi wako na suruali iliyokubana." Wote tuna uwezo wa kutumia udhibiti wa kibinafsi katika hali yoyote.)
This can be a complicated matter with many victims requiring extensive counselling, with some not readily seeing a resolution. Here is a simple method for gaining release.
>Hili linaweza kuwa jambo ngumu na wadhiriwa wengi wanaohitaji ushauri wa kina, na wengine hawaoni azimio kwa urahisi. Hapa kuna njia rahisi ya kupata kutolewa.
i. If you were willingly involved at the beginning and later changed your mind but the other person would not take notice:
>Ikiwa ungehusika kwa hiari mwanzoni na baadaye ulibadilisha mawazo yako lakini mtu huyo mwingine asingegundua
ii. If you were held captive or completely unable to remove yourself from the situation because of tender age or some incapacity:
>Ikiwa ulishikwa mateka au hauwezi kujiondoa kutoka kwa hali hiyo kwa sababu ya umri wa zabuni au kutokuwa na uwezo fulani:
- Instead of focusing on the pain, focus on the release and the freedom. This requires mental effort.
> Badala ya kuzingatia maumivu, zingatia kuwachiliwa na uhuru. Hii inahitaji juhudi za kiakil
- Speak and think about the healing or release, not the pain or captivity.
> Ongea na ufikirie juu ya uponyaji au kuwachiliwa, sio maumivu au utumwa.
- Take responsibility for your subsequent thoughts, feelings or words which have not brought release. People often feel that no one else would understand their situation or what has happened to them. This is not true, it's a lie from the enemy to keep us in isolation and pain.
> Chukua jukumu la mawazo yako ya baadae, hisia au maneno ambayo hayajatoa kuachiliwa.Watu mara nyingi huhisi kuwa hakuna mtu mwingine angeelewa hali yao au kile kilichowapata. Hio sio kweli, ni uongo kutoka kwa adui kutuweka katika kutengwa na maumivu.
1 Corinthians 10:13 teaches that "there is no testing situation that has laid hold of you which is not common to mankind;" In other words, someone, somewhere else has also gone through the exact same sort of situation - someone else will understand. (Almost any time we read the English word tempt we can substitute the English word test - it is the same Greek word.)
>1 WoK 10:13 hufundisha kwamba "hakuna hali ya upimaji ambayo imekushikilia ambayo sio kawaida kwa mwanadamu;" kwa maneno mengine, mtu, mahali pengine pia amepitia hali sawa - mtu mwingine ataelewa. (Karibu wakati wowote tunaposoma neno la kiingereza jaribu tunaweza kubadilisha mtihani wa neno la Kiingereza - ni neno moja la Uigiriki.)
The verse continues: "but God is faithful, He will not let you be tested beyond your ability..." In other words, God knows your limitations and will not let you be overwhelmed. Unfortunately, some people in pain do not know or acknowledge this truth and give up before they find the solution. Never give up!
> Aya inaendelea:"lakini Mungu ni mwaminifu, hatakuruhusu kupimwa zaidi ya uwezo wako…" Kwa maneno mengine, Mungu anajua mapungufu yako na hataruhusu kuzidiwa. Kwa bahati mbaya, watu wengine ndio walio na maumivu hawajui au wanakubali ukweli huu na kujitolea kabla ya kupata suluhisho. Kamwe usikate tamaa!
Finally: "...but with the testing situation He will provide a way out." God does not provide the test, and He always provides a way out. Here is one way out that has proved to be extremely successful:
>Mwishowe; "...lakini kwa hali ya upimaji Atatoa njia ya kutoka." Mungu hatoi mtihani, na Yeye hutoa njia ya kutoka kila wakati. Hapa kuna njia moja ambayo imeonekana kufanikiwa sana:
Stand and hold out your hands before God, palms upturned and open to receive, and face the direction in which the offense took place, or if the person involved is alive, face the direction in which you think they would be right now. like this:
>Simama na ushikilie mikono yako mbele za Mungu, mitende ikainuka na wazi kupokea, na uso kwa mwelekeo ambao kosa hilo lilifanyika, au ukiwa mtu anayehusika yuko hai, uso mwelekeo ambao unafikiri wangekuwa hivi sasa. kama hii:
"Father/Papa/Lord God (use the term or word that works for you, or use another term you like),
>"Baba/Papa/Bwana Mungu (tumia kiwakilishi au neno ambalo linakufanyia kazi,au utumie neno lingine unalopenda),
"I am sorry that I have let myself be overcome by what happened to me. I release (name the person or group if you can, otherwise "those people" will identify them in the spirit well enough) from the offense and from my life, from feelings of revenge, wanting justice and compensation. I release them from the hurt and pain I felt at the time and since then.
>"Samahani kwamba nimejiruhusu na kile kilichonipata. Ninaachilia (jina la mtu au kikundi ikiwa unaweza, vinginevyo "watu hao" watawatambulisha kwa roho vizuri ) kutoka kwa kosa na kutoka kwa maisha yangu, kutokana na hisia za kulipiza kisasi, kutaka haki na fidia. Ninawaachilia kutoka kwa maumivu na machungu niliyohisi wakati huo na tangu wakati huo.
"Above all, Lord God/Father/Papa, (use the term or word that works for you, or use another term you like), I release them to you for forgiveness and blessing, that they, too, might be restored.
>"Zaidi ya yote, Bwana Mungu/Baba/Papa (tumia kiashiria au neno ambalo linakufanyia kazi, au utumie neno lingine unalopenda ), ninawaachilia kwa msamaha na baraka, kwamba wao, pia, wanaweza kurejeshwa.
"Thank you, Jesus, for setting me free." >"Asante, Yesu, kwa kuniweka huru."
As you do this, after you do this, just wait quietly a few moments, twenty or thirty seconds, maybe more, for God to do something in you. On some occasions a change will be noticed the next time you wake up from a good sleep.
>Unapofanya hivi, baada ya kufanya hivi, subiri kimya dakika chache,sekunde ishirini au thelathini, labda zaidi, kwa Mungu kufanya kitu ndani yako. Katika hafla kadhaa mabadiliko yatatambuliwa wakati mwingine utakapoamka kutoka kwa usingizi mzuri.
