Vanhu vazhinji vanoona kutsanya sechinhu chinofanirwa kushandiswa pazvinangwa zvekudya kana kuitwa chete panguva yeLent. Syedullah, kune rimwe divi, inoona kutsanya sechimwe chinhu chakakura kwazvo kupfuura chikafu kana kuzvipira kwemwaka.
"Kutsanya ndiko kuwedzera kwechinangwa chemunamato," akadaro Syedullah. "Pane tsika mukutenda kwechiKristu yekuti paunoda kutarisa pane rimwe dambudziko kana kupa dambudziko pamberi paMwari, unoriita nemunamato wakanangana, kunyanya kutsanya."
Syedullah anoona kutsanya nemunamato sehukama hwepedyo. "Kana munhu nemaune akashaya chikafu, hausi kungonamata zvisina basa, urikureva kuti ichi chinhu chakakosha," akadaro.
Nekudaro, Syedullah anokurumidza kuratidza kuti chinangwa chikuru chekutsanya hachisi chekuita kuti chimwe chinhu chiitike.
"Vamwe vanhu vanoona zvese munamato nekutsanya nenzira dzemashiripiti," akadaro Syedullah. "Vanozviona senzira yekushandisa Mwari."
Chakavanzika chaicho chekutsanya, Syedullah akati, ndechekuti zvakanyanya nezve kuzvishandura pane kushandura Mwari.
Kune mienzaniso yekutsanya muchiito, Syedullah anotarisa kuRugwaro.
"Ndinofunga muenzaniso unobata zvikuru ndiJesu," akadaro Syedullah. "Mushure mekubhabhatidzwa ... Anoenda murenje kwemazuva makumi mana nehusiku makumi mana, uye ari panguva yekunamata nekutsanya murenje."
Syedullah anonongedzera kuti iri panguva ino yekutsanya nekunamata apo Jesu anoedzwa naSatani. Anoti zvinogona kudaro nekuti kutsanya kunoisa huropi munzvimbo yakavhurika.
"Handizive chemistry iriko shure kweizvi," akadaro. “Asi zvirokwazvo kana uchinge washaya chekudya kana chinwiwa, unogamuchira zvakanyanya. Pane chimiro chemuviri chinokanganisa kunzwisisa pamweya nekuziva ”.
Zviri mushure menguva yekutsanya uye kuyedzwa ndipo Jesu paakatanga hushumiri hwepachena. Izvi zvinoenderana nemaonero aSyedullah ekuti kutsanya inzira yekunamata.
"Kunamata nekutsanya kunotizarurira kunzwisisiro [yekuti] tingaite sei maropafadzo aMwari," akadaro Syedullah. "Kunamata nekutsanya ... inzira dzekutibatsira nekutipa simba uye kutibatsira kuva nekujeka kukuru pane izvo zvava kuda kuitwa."
Vazhinji vanofunga kuti kutsanya kwakabatana zvakanyanya neLent, mazuva makumi mana akatangira Isita, ayo mune dzimwe tsika dzechiKristu anochengeterwa kutsanya.
"Nguva yeLent inguva yekutendeuka," akadaro Syedullah. "[Iyi] inguva yekuziva kuvimba nemunhu pana Mwari ... kugadzirisa mafungiro edu, zviito zvedu, maitiro edu, mararamiro edu padyo nemuenzaniso waJesu, zvinokumbirwa naMwari muhupenyu hwedu. "
Asi Lent haisi yekungosiya chikafu. Syedullah akataura kuti vanhu vazhinji vanoverenga zuva nezuva rekunamata kana chikamu chemagwaro panguva yeLent kana kutora chikamu mumabasa ekunamata. Kutsanya chinhu chimwe chete chekukosha kwemweya kweLent uye hapana nzira chaiyo yekutsanya mumwaka weLent.
"Kana [mumwe munhu] asina kujaira kutsanya, inogona kunge iri pfungwa yakanaka kuisunungura," akadaro Syedullah.
Kune mhando dzakasiyana dzekutsanya idzo vanhu vaigona kuita panguva yeLent, zvichienderana nehutano hwavo. Syedullah inoratidza kuti vanotanga vanotanga nekutsanya kusasarura, pamwe kubva pamadekwana kusvika manheru, uye kunwa mvura yakawanda, zvisinei nemhando yekutsanya kwauri kuita. Chinhu chakanyanya kukosha hachisi icho chaunotsanya iwe panyama, asi chinangwa chiri shure kwekutsanya.
"Chinhu chakakosha ndechekuti [kutsanya] kunoitwa nedanho rekufunga, kuvhurwa kuzadziswa naMwari," akadaro Syedullah. "Kutsanya kunotiyeuchidza kuti zvinhu zvepanyama hazvisi izvo chete zvinhu zvakakosha."
