Mharidzo: The tent near Sodom (Part 1 of 2)

Scripture reading: Genesis 13:12-13

Kugara kuMbare nekugara pedyo nekuMbare zvakasiyana but munogona kuva nemaSame experiences. Matsotsi ekuMbare anogona kupota achiuuya kuArea kwenyu kuzoba zvekuti in the end unotochema kuti hey matsotsi epaMbare atikuvadza. Wakagara hako outside mbare but the fact that you are near it (Mbare), unogumisira wavaku affectwa nezvinoitika ikoko.If you live too close to something, you are bound kuAffectwa nezvinoitika in that area.

Nhasi tinoda kubata imwe nyaya yakaitika muBible yemurume anonzi Lot, akadzika tende rake pedyo neSodom. The Bible is clear, Lot haana kuenda kunogora kuSodom but he stayed pedyo neSodom, Genesis 13 vs 10 inotaura iyo kuti Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom (KJV), mamwe maVersion oti iwo near Sodom, reshona roti pedyo neSodom, ese maVersion andaverenga arikubuditsa pfungwa yekuti Lot did not stay kuSodom but akagara pedyo neSodom. but as you read on the Bible unozoona kuSodom kuchienda rescue team yaMwari of 2 angels dzichienda kunobuditsa Lot kubva muSodom, kureva kuti Lot was now a resident of Sodom but iye ambotanga asingagare muSodom but just near it.

In life munhu unogona kuita a decision yaunofunga kuti iri right but mhedzisiro yacho inenge iri disaster yega yega, problem ndeye kuti wakaPitcher tende yako pedyo neSodom, you strategically positioned yourself near wickedness. If you fly to close to the sun you will surely get burnt. Nekudaro pane mamwe maTende ari supposed kudzurwa wotsvaga pamwe pekugara far away from Sodom. There are some decisions which you are supposed to reverse so that urege kupinda muhuipi.

Vafudzi vemombe vaAbraham nevaLot vakaita problem, they used to fight over nyaya yemafuro. Abraham ndokuudza Lot kuti ngaparege kuvanekunetsana pakati pangu newe, my herdsmen and your herdsmen. What we are going to do is this, iwewe Lot sarudza kwaunoda kuenda kunogara, if you chose right, inini I will choose left, if you choose left, inini I will choose right. Ipapo Lot ndipo paakatarisa bani reJordan which was well watered akati ndinoda kunogara ikoko, that area he choose to stay ndiyo yanga iri direction ine Sodom. And Bible roenda mberi richiti he pitched his tent near Sodom.

Verse 13 yoti the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. Ukanzwa Bible rakushandisa vara rekuti exceedingly, chibva waziva kuti hapasisina kumira mushe. Kana dziri nyaya dzehuipi chete, the people of Sodom vanga vari kumberi. Yet Lot ndiyo area yaakasarudza kuenda kunogara pedyo nayo, whether he knew it or not kuti vanhu veArea iyoyo yakaipa.

Ukaona Lot achigara pedyo neSodom it might like look a clever idea kuti murume uyu aona kuti Sodom haizi right so instead of staying inside he has choose to stay near there than kutopinda mukati mayo. It might look good but it is not good nekuti uchakwezverwa kupinda muSodom umu 1 day or iyo Sodom yacho ndiyo ichauya kwauri. There are some decisions which might appear innocent at first but later on uchaona kuipa kwazvo.

Baba makaregedza hwahwa mavakunamata, makaita decision yakanaka but iyi tsika yekuti munopota muchienda kuBhawa muchiti hanzi ndinoda kuona bhora, be very careful. You are pitching your tent near Sodom. Urikuzviisa pedyo nemuyedzo, are you able to resist. Murikuona henyu bhora but the devil can take advantage kukudzosera back muchivi chamakabuda machiri. Ndipo paunoona imwe shamwari yako inobva yatanga kukutengera hwahwa, which he never did before Anotokuvhuriria okuisira muGlass wonzwa achiti imwa shamwari, kuti umuudze kuti aiwa ndava kunamata, he tells you kuti 1 pint chete here ringakutadzise kunamata here. You bow in to pressure, that 1 pint leads to another, before you know it you are drunk. Problem ndeye kuti waisa tent yako pedyo neSodom, watambira kuArea ine muyedzo.

Brother & sisters, hamusati machata imimi, you are still mukomana nemusikana, hongu maPlans aripo ekuti muzochate, but iyi tsika yekupota muchionana penyu pakahwanda pasina vanhu you are pitching your tent toward Sodom. Kana muyedzo yacho yabata munozogona here kuyikunda. Muri vanhu venyama, you are subject to feelings, and the fact yekuti munoonana penyu mega, satan ndipo paanokukurudzirai to fornicate. Its much easier kukunda miyedzo uyu if you are meet in public place than kusangana kwakahwanda kwenyu kusina anokuonai. Hanzi she is just coming for a sleep over, ini ndinorara hangu mupasi and iye she will sleep pamubhedha, munozoikwanisa here muyedzo yacho. Tent ngaidzurwe muzive kwekutandarira kusingazokupinzei pamuyedzo wekuita bonde or kubatana batana zvinorambwa neBible.

Its very true kuti mabasa arikunetsa and we try by all means kuchengetedza mabasa atinenge tawana. But pane mamwe mabasa atiri supposed kuramba because they draw us near to sin. Unonyatsoona kuti muyedzo iri in this area haizi kuita, ndinogona kupotsa denga nazvo. Waedza kuyikunda miyedzo yacho but zvaramba, just pray asking GOD for another job isina muyedzo iyoyo. Urikunyatsoona kuti pauri kushanda apa your boss varikuda kushandisa position yavo and money to sleep with you and you are finding it hard to resist, chingosiya basa racho ukumbire Mwari vakupe rimwe. Urikuona kuti kuDepartment rawakaiswa uku kune maTemptations ekuita huori, kumbira kuiswa in a better department isina problem iyoyo kana kutotsvaga rimwe basa, than kuPitcher tende yako towards Sodom.
