Komabe, Mawu a Mulungu amatitsimikizira kuti chimalizirocho chidzafika. Yehova akuti sichidzazengereza. Chimalizirocho chili pafupi kwenikweni.​—Habakuku 2:3; 2 Petro 3:9, 10.

Tifunikiranso chilimbikitso chonse chimene tingapeze mwa kuyanjana ndi okhulupirira anzathu nthaŵi zonse, amenenso akuthamanga mumpikisanowu. Ngakhale chizunzo choopsa ndi zochitika zotigwera zitapangitsa kuthamanga kwathu kukhala kovuta kwambiri, tingapirire kufika kuchimaliziro chifukwa chakuti Yehova amapereka “ukulu woposa wamphamvu.” (2 Akorinto 4:7) N’zolimbikitsatu kwambiri kudziŵa kuti Yehova akufuna kuti timalize makani a liŵiro ameneŵa mwachipambano! Motsimikizadi mtima, “tithamange mwachipiriro makaniwo adatiikira,” tikudziŵa pansi pa mtima kuti “panyengo yake tidzatuta tikapanda kufooka.”​—Ahebri 12:1; Agalatiya 6:9.
