“Nasemtu, zumna ding neilou, thutak thu diktak a zang, Pathian pomtak hi ding a nangmah kipe ding in theihtawpsuah in kisin in” (2 Tim 2.15).
Thumasa: Amasapen in KTZ simtute Jesu Khrist min in Chibai! July kha GBC day ahihna ah hun nanung saptuam a dia Laisiangthou pansan a kibawldik pawimohna i genkhawm ding uh. Saptuam dinsan, Pathian thutak, Laisiangthou a kimu sawltakliante thusinsakte siangthou leh khovel paidan toh kilamdang a kembit, zui leh khang omzel dingte sinsak a mohpuak ahi. Saptuam sung leh pua ah thu-up leh paidan tuamtuam bangtan dik, bangpen dik chih khen haksa thu tampi’n hon nawk man in Laisiangthou sin poimohna ki-uanggen lua chih om ding in ka gingta kei hi. 2 Timothi pansan in Laisiangthou poimohna sut ni.
I. SIHKUAN KAMMAL MINTHANG (Famous dying word): Timothi laikhak nihna ‘Paul sihkuan thugen minthang’ chih in a om hi. Mi thupite a sih chiang in, ‘a kammal nanung’ un inkuan leh khang paizel dingte maban bang a genkha hiam’ chih mite bildohpen ahi. Paul in “Tanchinhoih kepbit ding, gimthuak ding, ginna pialsan lou ding leh tangthupha genna hih tangtung ding” in Timothi thuhilhna a pia hi. Paul si ding ahita. Khovel toh a kizopna hihtan ahi. Suangkul sungnung pen apan gelh ahihziak in Sihkuan kammal minthang chih ahi. Paul in Tanchinhoih a a mohpuakna Timothi a piaksawnna, saptuamte vualzohna laibu ahi.
II. GOSPEL KEMBIT IN (Guard the Gospel) (1.13): Timothi laikhak nihna bung khatna a Paul lungtang a lianpen ‘Tangthupha’ kepbit ding ahi. Ginna tungtawn-a ngah thutak-hotdamna Kha siangthou in a kepsak pen kemhoih ding in thu a pia hi. Hiai Tanchinhoih theisak leh tangkoupihpa (preacher), sawltak (apostle) leh sinsaktu (teacher) hihna piak a ka om ziak ahi sawina ka na thuak, a chi. I sung a om Kha siangthou hon kepsak thutak a chih ‘hupotupôsin’ a zang a, ‘Pathian hotdamna thilgel’ kembit in (guard the gospel) a chi hi. Jesu Khrist Tanchinhoih, sihna hihmang a, hinna leh manthat theihlouhna honpiak genna ahi.
(i) ‘Prosperity gospel’ 1950 vel a kipan ahi. ‘Sum leh pai, hauhsakna leh pumpi chidamna’ Pathian in a mite deihsak a, ginna, thugen hoih (positive speech) leh thilpiak (donation) tungtawn a ngahding a chi uhi. Hiai sinsaktute charismatic background apan ahi. Bible, Pathian leh mihing kal a kizopna ahi a, “mihing in Pathian a gintak leh chidamna, bitna leh hauhsakna ngah ding” a chi uhi. Saptuam leh Pastorte sum tampi piak hauhsakna leh chidamna chih sinsakna eilak leng a hongtungta hi. Sum leh pai, neih leh lam, inn leh lou, pumpi chidamna gospel hita hiam? Tanchinhoih thugin, Pathian hotdamna thilgel (gospel) leh Pathian thutak i dinpih in i hinpih un i sinsak uhiam? chih kivel ni.
(ii) Paul in, hauhsakna toh kisai a hon sinsak hiai ahi, “Lungkimna toh kithuah Pathian limsakna punna thupitak ahi. Khovel ah bangmah i lutpih kei a, bangmah i pawtpih thei sam kei ding hi. Himahleh nekding leh silhding nei in, huaite ah i lungkim ding uhi” chi in. I kepbit ding Hotdamna Tangthupha ahi. Jesu’n, “Pilvang unla, enna lak ah kiveng un; hauhna mihing damsan ahi kei hi” a chi hi (Luk 12.15). Paul in Timothi kiang ah, “Dangka sum deihtak zaw gilou chiteng bul ahi; khenkhatte’n a eng ua, ginna a paimangsan ua, amau leh amau lungkhamna tampi in a ki sunlet tektok uhi” a chi hi (1 Tim 6.6-10). Tanchinhoih thu-up, i hotdamna gospel Siangthou kembit in hauhsakna gospel leh a sinsak apan kihem ni.
III. GIMNA HON THUAKPIH IN (Endure hardship) (2.2): Paul in, “Ahi, kuapeuh Khrist Jesu Pathian limsak-a om tum photphot in sawina a thuak sam ding uhi” (2 Tim 3.12). Pathian limsak hinkhua chiamtehna Khrist min a sawina leh thuakna ahi. Paul in, “Thunuailut pen kawm leh Judate’n hon sawm ziak ua khitui kai leh thilhaksa ka tung a tungte thuakkawm in Toupa na ka sem hi” a chi hi (Nas 20.19). Tanchinhoih thutak “Sinsak, kemsak, leh theihpih” a na om leh thuakna in honzui ding ahi. Kei bang in, ‘gimthuak hon thuakpih in’ a chi hi. Gimthuakna maituah chiang a etton in ‘sepaih hoih, louneimi, kimawlmi’ hon kokmuh hi.
(i) Khrist sepaih hoih bang in: Paul in, “Khrist sepaih hoih bang in a gimthuak hon thuakpih in” a chi hi. Sepaih hoihte’n a heutupa kipahna ding sem in a hinna uh a lankhe ngam uhi. Simtute, Jesu Khrist leh a thu ziak in bang haksatna, sawina i tuak uhia? Huai hilou in Pathian thaunilh muanhuaite tampi’n sa-utna, mit-utna leh damsung thupinate a kibual in Toupa nasem i hi uhiam? Thuakna leh tanna lou in Khrist sepaih hoih i hi theikei ding. Saptuam suliam kawm in Khrist sepaih hoih i hi theikei ding. Khrist sepaih hoih ding in Paul in, “thil tengteng ka tanta, ...ninneng bang phet in ka sim” a chi (Phi 3.8).
(ii) Kimawlmi bang in: World Cup, 2018, June 14, 2018 in, Russia khopi Moscow ah a kipanta hi. Hiai hun ah kimawl dingte, kum 2014, World Cup zoh a kipan lungsim, sapum leh omdan a mimal kithunun, nek leh dawn a siangthou, sinsakpa thuhilh leh kimawlna dan zuite telkhiak ahi uhi. “Kidemnate ah mite pang mahle uh dan bang a hih ahihkeileh khuksak in a om ngeikei” Paul in a chi. “Nasemtu, zumna ding neilou, thutak thu diktak a zang, Pathian pomtak hi ding in theihtawp in kisin in” a chi hi (2 Tim 2.15). Pathian thugen kaikawi, khelhna selna, punna nin zonna a zangten kipahman a ngah kei ding uh (1 Kor 3.15). Toupa kipahman tangtak ding in, “Pathian thu sut in, zui in, midangte i sinsak ding hi” (Mat 5.19).
(iii) Lou neimi semgim bang in: Louneimi semgim, agah netak ding in vuahtui masa leh nanung kuhkal tak in a ngak hi. A lou a taisan ngeikei hi. Tulai in louma kemlou a gah neksawm a tamta hi. Zawlnei Jeremiah in, “Limsaklou tak a Pathian nna semmi hamsethuak in om henla, sisan suah ding a a namsau zang nuamlou mi hamsethuak in om hen” a chi hi (Jer 48.10). Louneimi, alou a nasemlou in buhphal a at kei ding hi. Pathian hon piak sepna mun a omlou in, seplouhna mun ah i gahsuah kei ding hi. Sepna mun a nu-pa a pailoute ‘numei-pasal’ khelhna a pukte ahi nak hi. Na lou koimun hi in na thei a?
IV. NA GINNA AH OMGIGE IN (Continue in your faith) (3.14): Hun nanung ah hun haksa pipi hongtung ding a chi hi. Mimal paikhelhna (personal apostasy), inkuan siatna (broken family), biakna paikhelhna (religious apostasy), leh Pathian thu (theological apostasy) tu hun a hongtung ahi. Hiai hun ah pimangna khate leh dawite thuhilhna limsakna leh ginna tawpsan na hongtung hi (1 Tim 4.1).
(i) Haksatna tuah chiang a dawi aisante, maibi-maiba thudongte, kisik in Toupa zuan un. Pathian in na inkuan hon phildalh leh na lemnawn theikei ding hi. Pathian in Israel kumpi Saul a thahna hiai ziak ahi (1 Kron 10.13-14).
(ii) Pianthak thugenna ah ‘hotdam dia sehkholh thu’, ‘Jesu sihna leh tatna phawkna’ (realization theory) hotdamna buching a sinsakna hongtungta hi. Khelhna kisikna, Jesu Khrist sanna tellou hotdamna leh pianthakna a lauhuai hi. Hiai hun ah na zilsa, kiptak-a na gintaksa thutak ah om inla, na ginna lenkip in chih a thupiak ahi.
(iii) Kilakna & Vision: Laisiangthou Pathian kilakna bukim, kha hatkhuma piak, thuhilhna, taihilhna, bawlhoihna leh diktatna lam a kichilna a kiching ahi (2 Tim 3.16). Hiai lou Pathian kilakna dang omlou ahih man in Bible polam a mengmuhna, kilakna kichite a lem (counterfeit) ahi. Laisiangthou, Pathian thu ah a i dingkip ding uh. Kha in Bible thu hichi in hon gen chi a, Bible toh kituaklou a tamta hi. Kha siangthou amah leh amah kikalh lou a, a hatkhum a thu kigelh khek lou ahi chi in Bible ah i dingkip ding uhi (2 Pet 1.20-21).
V. TANCHINHOIH GEN IN (Preach the gospel) (4.5): Paul in, “Nang zaw bangkim ah pilvang in, gimthuak inla, Tanchinhoih genna lam nna sem in na nasepna pen hih tangtung in” a chi hi. Paul in ‘hun nanung saptuam vaihawmna, building, inn leh loute awlmohna ziak in “Tanchinhoih gen, hotdamna thugen leh chialpina ngaihnep in om ding” a chih ahi. Evan. Dr. Vanlalnghak in, “Saptuam in leng hotdamna chialpina sang in khawmpi leh a huauhuau a paina hon uangbawl ding” a chi hi. Mi tamzawte’n chialpi sang in Seminar, training, a awlmoh zaw ding ua, chialpi ding mi tawm, piangthak omlouh hun hongtung ding a hi.
(i) Paul in, “Eite’n thuhilh ding i kep pen bel lungtang siangthou leh sialehpha theihna siang leh ginna taktak a kipan a pawt itna ahizaw hi´a chi hi (1 Tim 1.5). Nang zaw bangkim ah pilvang inla, gimthuak inla, Tanchinhoih genna lam nna sem in. Saptuam in chialpina, tangthupha genna, nuse theilou ding i hi chihna ahi.
(ii) Biakna leh phatna, a bemi lungtang a suak hilou, polam apan ki thathohsakna, music leh tumging thilhihtheihna ziak a lamna, dianna Kha siangthou nasep sakkhak pilvanhuai ahi. “Pathian deihlam kithoihna zaw kha khasia hi, Pathian aw, lungtang khasia leh kisik tuntun zaw na musit kei ding hi” chih ahi (Sam 51.17). Hiai Biakna leh phatna gennei ahi.
Thukhitna: Khrist a Pathian Hotdamna tangthupha, thildang toh hellou a kembit ding a thupiak i hi. Hiai mah mi muanhuai, midangte hilhsawn thei dingte kiang ah kepsak ding (entrust) a chi hi. Hiai ‘ginna’ misiangthoute lak a khatvei kepsak a om hum in sinsakna dikloute leh heutu dikloute apan humbit ding ahi (Jude 3). I hotdamna-thupha, Pathian thutak Laisiangthou, thu-up kingakte i humbit zoh keileh sinsakna dikloute’n hon tuam dia, manglam leh mengmuhna, dawite sinsakna gintakna hongtung dia, puksan saptuam ah i lut kha ding. Bible polam a kilakna, Kha siangthou aw zakna lamen in paisualna ah i lut kha ding uhi. Tangthupha kembit ni, gimthuak in ginna lenkip ni. Nna pawimoh tampi om mahleh Tangthupha genna, chialpina i awlmoh ding uhi. Toupa’n hon vualzawl hen.
