Ine anga ndi omwewa a Nachisale,
lero akundipatsa la pa thumba,
kudyetsa yonse iyi mbumba,
poti ine ndili khwakhwa khwaa!
ngakhale lobowola ndilibe,
wandikhudzumutsa ulova,
abale anzanga ndinkangomva.
lero ndasanduka zungulira khonde,
chasosola mapiko chiomba nkhanga
Ine ndi khobidi tinali mabwenzi,
timakumana mwezi ndi mwezi,
ndiye ndimati ndikayela mmanja,
ndimatsakamila pa Njira ili Kuti,
kumwelera ndi kukhwasula,
osalephelanso a nkupa nkupa,
akupe ngumbi zotengeka ndi kuwala,
zoti tili ndi ana kuiwala.
ndani achisiya chinyamata ichi.
ndikakumbuka mnsana wa njira,
ndimagula mpiru wa a biti Machenje,
a Nachi ndi ana akadye kunyumba,
ine nditatsuka kale mkamwa,
lero mchokochi unafikila ine,
a Nachi ndi amene akutidyetsa,
palibenso zotsuka mkamwa mobisa
bola iwo abweletsa timatemba
palibe icho apanga mozemba.
Ine anga ndi omwewa a Nachisale,
ndaona mmene avutikila ndi anawa,
osati aja odzola zonga dothi,
osamva ndi ifeyo a gonthi,
timangolonda tili pulipuli,
atikolole akasokelele dzala.
ndikapeza ina ntchito,
ndidzapita ku nyanja ndi a Nachisale
ndi anawa tikasangalale.

A PENNY A DAY
In the book of Mathews chapter 20 from verse 1 to 16, Jesus is teaching about the labourers who were hired by one man at different times and then given the same pay of a penny a day.
The master went in the morning into the marketplace and hired one group of labourers into his vineyard. He went again about the third hour and he found other labourers who were not hired, standing idle at the marketplace. This man hired them as well and he continued hiring labourers each time he found them standing idle up to the eleventh hour, meaning an hour before their pay.
When the pay time came the lord of the vineyard paid them all a penny each. Those who came first after receiving their pay murmured against their master, saying the last labourers have wrought but one hour, and you have made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
This is the teaching about the kingdom of God, and the principles of the kingdom of God are different from those of the world, just to remind my dear readers that the kingdom of God is established among those who believe in him. Therefore these principles apply to you today not only after the judgement day. Returning back to our story, Jesus concluded that in the kingdom of God, the last will be first and the first will be last. In the labourers mind, they were the first and deserved more than the last labourers which is normal in the worldly kingdom.
In the kingdom of God, blessings come in accordance to how God himself chooses and mainly its according to his grace. The labourers who came first did not understand why they received the same pay as those who came last and worked only one hour.
When the grace of God is upon you, others will think its unfair for them to be treated the same as you. This grace will not look at the year you graduated or entered a company for you to be promoted. It does not consider who will be happy with your promotion or who came first.
The grace of God does not take into account the cultures of a particular community, their way of doing things or their rules. That is why we see David being crowned king ahead of his brothers and his father could not understand it.
It would be unconstitutional for a Hebrew foreigner in Egypt to be a prime minister but it happened with Joseph because he belonged to the kingdom of God where the rules of the game are different.
If you are reading this message today and think you are behind in many things and yet you are a Christian, please take time to remind yourself of the principles of the kingdom of God, you will found out that the last will the first and the first will the last.
