Ao anatin'ny 1 TIMOTY 5:20, Nanoratra momba ny loholona iray nanota tao amin’ny fiangonana i Paoly ary ny tokony hatao raha nanota ny loholona iray. Nanoro hevitra an’i Timoty i Paoly mba tsy handray fiampangana amin’ny loholona, raha tsy miorina amin’ny vavolombelona roa na telo ny fiampangana.. Only when the accusation was based upon two or three witnesses, Timothy had to rebuke the sinning elder before the congregation so that the fear of God would remain. Let’s look at what the Bible says about the spiritual meaning and purpose of rebuking a sinning elder publicly (before all in the church).
Inona no mitranga amin’ny loholona iray manota ao amin’ny fiangonana ankehitriny?
ankehitriny, Kristianina maro no hieritreritra na hiteny avy hatrany: “Tena henjana sy ratsy ny atao!”, “Oh, ilay mahantra (ny loholona)! Tsy mila manao izany isika, fa efa nijaly tamin’ny fahotana io mahantra io” na “Mandidy antsika ny Baiboly mba handeha amin’ny fitiavana, ary izany dia tsy famantarana ny fandehanana am-pitiavana sy fanehoana fitiavana ny namanao. Tsy misy olona te ho menatra eo anatrehan’ny fiangonana manontolo, satria tsy tonga lafatra isika, samy manota isika rehetra”.
Many Christians would say these things because ara-nofo izy ireo instead of spiritual. They walk after the flesh instead of the Spirit.
Instead of being led by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, they’re led by their opinions, fihetseham-po, sy ny fihetseham-po. na izany aza, this is very dangerous for the Body of Christ.
Noho io, Christians don’t change their lives to the Word of God. fa tsy, they adjust the words of God and didin 'i Jesoa Kristy amin'ny sitrapony, Lusts, sy faniriana. Manampina ny masony izy ireo ary mampandombona ny sofiny amin’ny fahamarinan’Andriamanitra.
Ato amin'ity lahatsoratra ity, ny anti-panahy dia nosoratana tamin'ny endrika masculine satria mora kokoa ny mamaky. Mihatra amin’ny lahy sy ny vavy anefa izany.
Aza mandray izay hiampangana ny loholona, fa eo anatrehan'ny vavolombelona roa na telo. Izay manota anaro eo anatrehan'ny olona rehetra, mba hatahoran'ny sasany koa
1 TIMOTY 5:20
What does the Bible say about the characteristics of elders in the church?
Ny loholona iray dia nomena baiko ho an’i Jesosy Kristy Tompo ary ambasadaoron’ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra (araka ny tokony ho izy ny Kristianina tsirairay). The Bible says about the characteristics of an elder (eveka) that An elder should walk in righteousness and be blameless (izay midika hoe tsy manana ota eo amin’ny fiainany).
An elder should be a husband of one wife, manan-janaka mahatoky, izay tsy voampanga ho mpanakorontana na tsy voafehy. One that rules well his own house, Ny fananana ny zanany amin'ny fanekena amin'ny grave rehetra.
Tokony ho tsy manan-tsiny ny loholona, Amin'ny maha mpitantana an'Andriamanitra; tsy fidiny, tsy tezitra, tsy omena divay, tsy misy mpikapoka, tsy omena harena maloto.
Tokony ho tia mandray vahiny ny loholona, tia lehilahy tsara, mahonon-tena, FOTSINY, MASINA, ary mahonon-tena. Tokony hihazona mafy ny teny mahatoky izy araka ny nampianarina azy, mba hahazoany mananatra sy mandresy lahatra ny mpanohitra amin'ny fampianarana tsy misy kilema.
Ny loholona dia tokony andraso ny ondrin’Andriamanitra. Izy no tokony hiandraikitra izany, tsy amin'ny teritery, fa an-tsitrapo; tsy amin'ny harena maloto, fa ny saina vonona; ary tsy ho tompon'ny lovan'Andriamanitra. Tokony ho ohatra ho an’ny andian’ondry anefa ny loholona (Asan'ny Apostoly 14:23, TIMOTY 1:6-9, 1 PETERA 5:1-3).
Anisan’ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra sy misolo tena ny loholona
Every born again Christian, anisan’izany ny loholona iray, dia olom-pirenen’ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra. Amin'ny maha-zaza azy voalohany kokoa; a citizen of the Kingdom of God, you have a responsibility. You have to obey the law and the rules of the King and His Kingdom.
As a born again Christian and follower of Jesus Christ, ambasadaoro ianao; solontenan’i Jesosy Kristy sy ny Fanjakany.
You are no longer a representative of the kingdom of darkness. Midika izany, that you don’t live in submission to the ruler of the darkness (Devoly) and obey him. Tsy manao izay devoly ianao, izao tontolo izao, and your flesh (fanahy sy vatana) teneno sy asainy atao.
Izany dia satria, you have crucified the flesh in Christ and live in submission to Christ. You obey Jesus Christ (Ny Teny) and you do what is written in the Bible.
Ary izay an'i Kristy dia efa nanombo ny nofony mbamin'ny faniriany sy ny filany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana
GALATIANINA 5:24
Ny loholona manota dia manana ny devoly ho ray
When an elder sins it means that the elder lives after the flesh and listened and obeyed the devil instead of God. Anti-panahy, who sins rebels against God and disobeys His Word by fulfilling the desires and lusts of his flesh.
Through his deed of unrighteousness, he has rejected the Word and denied Jesus Christ. ny ny asan'ny loholona naseho izay eo ambany fahefany no ivelomany sy izay henoiny.
Ianareo avy tamin’ny devoly rainareo, ary izay sitraky ny rainareo no hataonareo. Mpamono olona hatrany am-piandohana izy, ary nitoetra tao amin'ny fahamarinana, satria tsy misy fahamarinana ao aminy. Rehefa miteny lainga izy, ny azy ihany no lazainy: fa mpandainga izy, ary ny rainy. Ary satria lazaiko aminao ny marina, tsy mino ahy ianao. Iza aminareo no maharesy lahatra ahy ny amin’ny ota? Ary raha milaza ny marina aho, nahoana no tsy mino ahy ianareo?? Izay avy amin’Andriamanitra dia mihaino ny tenin’Andriamanitra: koa tsy mihaino azy ianareo, satria tsy avy amin'Andriamanitra ianareo (John 8:44-47)
Jereo ny Sahan'i Edena. Adam and Eve didn’t have a sinful nature, but they believed the words of the serpent (Devoly) and followed up his advice. While God was very clear and warned them what kind of evil would happen to them, if they ate the fruit from the forbidden tree.
Na dia eo aza ny fampitandreman’Andriamanitra, they believed the words of the devil instead of the words of God. Through their deed of eating from the forbidden tree, they rejected God and His truth and obeyed the devil and his lie and sinned.
It is the same for everyone that walks in sin. izy ireo mandà an’i Jesosy (Ny Teny) sy ny didiny, ary minoa sy mankato ny laingan’ny devoly, izay miasa amin’ny alalan’ny nofo sy izao tontolo izao.
Nahoana i Timoty no tsy maintsy nananatra anti-panahy iray nanota teo anatrehan’ny rehetra??
Timothy had to rebuke the sinning elder in front of the whole congregation, so that every believer would have and keep tahotra ary ny fahatahorana an'Andriamanitra Tsitoha; Ilay nahary ny lanitra sy ny tany ary izay rehetra ao anatiny.
Tsy maintsy nitoetra tao am-piangonana ny fahatahorana ny Tompo. Because without the fear of the Lord, ny mpino dia hiditra amin'ny lalana nofidian'ny tenany. They would do what they wanted to do and live after their own will, Tahaka izao tontolo izao, raha tokony ho Sitrapon’Andriamanitra.
The believers had to know that you can’t play games with the Almighty God and this is still the case.
Sambatra izay olona matahotra mandrakariva: fa izay manamafy ny fony no hidiran-doza
Ohabolana 28:14
How to prevent spiritual lukewarmness in the church?
Nandidy an’i Timoty i Paoly mba hankatò sy hitandrina io didy io. Mba tsy ho matimaty ara-panahy eo anatrehan’Andriamanitra sy tsy hiraharaha ny ota ny mpino.
Paoly nahita ny toe-panahin’ny fiangonana. Nahafantatra ny tontolo ara-panahy izy: ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra sy ny fanjakan’ny maizina.
Paul knew when a sinning elder would teach the believers in the Word of God (Ny Baiboly), io fanahy maloto ratsy io izay nanjaka teo amin’ny fiainan’ilay loholona nanota, would come upon all the believers (Ny Fiangonana).
Izany no nahatonga an’i Paoly ho hentitra sy tamim-pitandremana tamin’ny famelana sy fanendrena ireo mpino ho eo amin’ny toeran’ny mpitarika.
Nahafantatra tsara i Paoly, what sin is and what sin produces in a person’s life.
Fantany, fa rehefa ota ← tolerated ao am-piangonana, tsy ho ela dia ho tratran’ny ratsy ny fiangonana manontolo ka ho faty ara-panahy.
When an elder or any other person in the church walks in sin, midika izany fa mandeha ao anatin'ny haizina sy izay ratsy ilay olona (Haizina) is present in the heart of the person.
Tokony hanana fiainana masina sy handeha amin’ny fahamarinana ny loholona
In the many letters that Paul wrote to the saints, namporisika azy mandrakariva Izy mba ho masina sy handeha amin’ny fahamarinana ary hanala ny toetra taloha. Isaky ny mampahatsiahy ny mpino i Paoly, izany amin’ny alalan’ny finoana an’i Jesosy Kristy, lasa a famoronana vaovao.
Paul taught them, how they should walk as the new creation in this new (ARA-PANAHY) life that was given to them in Christ by the Fahasoavan'Andriamanitra.
Satria Andriamanitra, Jesoa Kristy, ary ny Fanahy Masina, Izay miaina ao amin’ny Kristiana nateraka indray amin’ny alalan’ny Fanahy, Masina sy marina, toy izany koa ny Kristiana nateraka indray, izay natao araka ny endrik'Andriamanitra, aoka ho masina ianareo ary mandehana amin'ny fahamarinana.
Toy ny zanaka mankatò, aza manao ny tenanareo araka ny filan-dratsinareo fahiny tamin'ny tsi-fahalalanareo: fa masina kosa Izy, Izay niantso anareo, koa aoka ho masina ianareo amin'ny fitondran-tena rehetra; Satria voasoratra, Aoka ho masina ianareo; fa masina Aho. (1 PETERA 1:14-17)
Nomen’Andriamanitra ny Zanany (na lahy sy vavy), everything in Christ to resist the devil and sin.
He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in High Places, so that we’ll be able to live holy and walk in righteousness in obedience to God and His Word, and represent and manifest the Kingdom of God on earth.
Amin’ny ran’i Jesosy sy Ny asa fanavotana azy, nohamasinina sy marina ianao. Ary noho izany, ho velona sy handeha tahaka ny zavaboary vaovao amin’ny fahamasinana sy ny fahamarinana ianao. Just like Jesus walked in holiness and righteousness through obedience to His Father and doing His will.
Raha mbola mihaino ny Teny ianao, ary ankatoavy sy ataovy ny Teny, you stay in Christ and live after the Spirit in freedom under the blood.
Toe-tsaina mitanila ao am-piangonana
Tsy maintsy nitandrina io didy io i Timoty, na dia eo aza ny fifandraisany tamin’ilay loholona nanota (an acquaintance, NAMANA, na olona ao amin’ny fianakaviana), ary na dia eo aza ny azy (SOSIALY) sata sy harena.
Tsy navelan’i Timoty hisy fiangarana tao amin’ny fiangonana. Tsy maintsy nitovy ny fitondrany ny olona, anisan’izany ny loholona manota. Raha tsy nitovy tamin’ny olona i Timoty, he would be led by a spirit of partiality. (Vakio koa: Ny fanahin'i Ely).
Aza mizaha tavan'olona amin'ny fitsarana; fa ho henonareo ny kely na ny lehibe; aza matahotra ny tavan'olona ianao; fa an’Andriamanitra ny fitsarana: ary ny antony sarotra loatra aminao, ento aty amiko, dia ho reko izany (Deoteronomia 1:17)
Ry rahalahiko, tsy manana ny finoan'ny Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Ny Tompon'ny voninahitra, momba ny olona (James 2:1)
Ahoana no tokony hitondran’ny fiangonana ny loholona mpanota?
Ao amin'ny fiangonana ankehitriny, mahalana na tsy misy mihitsy, fa ny loholona manota na ny mpitory teny manota dia anarina eo anatrehan’ny fiangonana.
Tamin'ny andro taloha, ara-dalàna raha nisy loholona nanota niaiky ny fahotany ary nibebaka teo anatrehan’ny fiangonana rehetra, ka nesorina tamin’ny toerany izy ary tsy nitam-piadiana tamin’ny asany. Saingy amin'izao fotoana izao dia saika ny 'olana' rehetra amin'ny fitarihana ara-panahy dia voavaha ao ambadiky ny varavarana mihidy amin'ny toerana manokana. Imbetsaka izany no tazonina ho tsiambaratelo.
indraindray, fa tsy foana, ny loholona nanota dia hesorina vetivety amin’ny asany, so that ’the issue’ can appease. But after a short time, hatokana ho loholona ao amin’ny fiangonana iray ihany na any amin’ny fiangonana hafa ilay olona.
Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra teo aloha, noresahina ny fanokanana loholona iray nanota. Noho izany dia tsy horesahina ato amin'ity lahatsoratra ity izany. Raha mbola tsy namaky ny lahatsoratra ianao, ary te hamaky azy, dia azonao atao ny manindry ity rohy manaraka ity: Inona no tian’i Paoly holazaina amin’ny hoe tsy mametra-tanana tampoka amin’olona??
In the name of false love and grace sin is accepted in the church
Tsy fombafomba intsony ny mananatra loholona manota ampahibemaso. Atsipazo ao ambanin'ny akanjon'i fitiavana sy fahasoavana, ary voavaha amin'ny sehatra manokana. Tsy izany anefa no fomban’Andriamanitra (ary Jesosy) wants the church to deal with sin.
ny tenan’i Kristy; the church is one body and not a divided body and should live holy.
The church needs to obey the Head Jesus (Ny Teny), fa tsy ny devoly (ny mpanapaka izao tontolo izao).
Especially the elders and leaders of the church should be spiritually mature, and walk as adult sons of God after the Word and the Spirit and bear the Vokatry ny Fanahy.
Tokony hiaina masina sy marina izy ireo ary ho ohatra ho an’ny Kristianina.
Tokony hampiakatra ny mpino ny Tenin’Andriamanitra izy ireo, ka ho tonga tahaka azy ireo, and like Jesus and walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh.
Indrisy, loholona maro no mijanona ho nofo. Entin’ny fanahin’izao tontolo izao izy ireo ary miaina tahaka an’izao tontolo izao. They approve and accept sin in the church and change the Word of God.
They change the gospel of Jesus Christ and the words of God in the Bible to their own opinion, feelings and the carnal will, ny filana sy ny faniriana, ka ny kristiana ara-nofo, anisan'izany ny tenany, afaka miaina tahaka izao tontolo izao, doing what they want and keep walking in sin.
Inona no tanjon’ny fananarana ny fahotana eo anatrehan’ny rehetra ao amin’ny fiangonana?
When the sin of an elder is exposed in the church and the sinning elder is rebuked before all, ary navoaka ny birao, it ensures that:
- Mitana ny fahatahorana an’i Jehovah ny Kristianina (Fanehoana fanajana) ary manaja an’Andriamanitra sy ny Teniny
- Fantatry ny Kristianina fa Andriamanitra marina Andriamanitra ary mankahala ny ota ary Izy (sy ny olony) tsy afaka manana firaisana amin’ny ota
- Entanina sy entanina ny Kristianina mba hanana fiainana masina sy hanohitra ny fahotana, ary mijanona ho mankatò ny Teny
- Mitoetra ho mahatoky sy mazoto momba ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra ny Kristianina ary tsy malaina sy matimaty.
- Mijanona ny Fiangonana mifohaza sy miambena ary fantaro ny ota sy ny vokany
- Preventing lukewarmness among Christians
- Gossip and speculations about the matter and the sinning elder will be prevented in the church
Tokony hampihatra izay torin’ny loholona ny loholona
Rehefa misy loholona manota mijanona ho voatokana na ho voatokana indray ao anatin’ny fotoana fohy ary miverina amin’ny fahotana iray ihany, mbola ho azo itokisana ve ny zokiolona?
When a sinning elder commands the believers to stay obedient to the Word and live according to what the Bible says, fa ny loholona tsy manao izany ary tsy mampihatra izay toriany, heverinao ve fa hanaja ny loholona ny mpino ka hino sy hankatò ny toromariny?
The believers shall have little or no reverence and don’t believe his words let alone apply his words in their lives.
They shall think, “”Ha hear him talking! Telling us what we can’t do, but he does what he commands us not to do.”
Many elders are just like the Pharisees that acted piously in the presence of people. Nandidy ny olona hankatò ny tenin’ Andriamanitra izy ireo, fa amin’ny mangingina, Rehefa tsy misy mijery, they disobeyed the words of God.
na izany aza, Jesosy, Iza no Lahimatoa tamin’ny zavaboary vaovao, nahita sy nahalala ny zavatra rehetra tamin’ny alalan’ny Fanahy. Fantany ny fon’izy ireo ary naharihariny teo imason’ny olona ny fon’izy ireo. Tsy nanafina na inona na inona i Jesosy ary tsy niafina, but He exposed evil and nandrava ny asan’ny maizina.
Mbola mahita sy mahafantatra ny zava-drehetra i Jesosy. Amin'ny alàlan'ny Fanahy Masina, Mbola aharihariny ny zava-mitranga ao anatin’ny haizina. Jesus reveals everything, raha mbola mandeha ao amin’ny fahazavany ny fiangonana.
Miaiky fahotana eo anatrehan’ny rehetra
Rehefa tamin'ny andro taloha, ny loholona nanota dia niaiky ny fahotany teo anatrehan’ny olona rehetra, it ensured that elders would think twice before they listened to their flesh and gave in to the will, ny faniriany sy ny filan’ny nofony sy ny fahotany.
Natahotra an’Andriamanitra foana izy ireo ary nanaja ny Teniny. Tsy ho sahy hanova na inona na inona momba ny tenin’Andriamanitra sy amboary ny Teny amin'ny faniriany sy ny filany.
Tsy nisy naniry ‘ho afa-baraka’ teo anatrehan’ny vahoaka. Tsy nisy te ho marihina ho loholona nanota.
Nifoha ara-panahy sy niambina ny olona. Nisy fahatahorana an’i Jehovah sy fahatsiarovan-tena ny amin’ny fahotana.
Fantatr’izy ireo fa mariky ny fikomiana sy ny tsy fankatoavana an’Andriamanitra ny ota.
Fantatr’izy ireo fa tsy manana toerana ao amin’ny fiangonana ny ota. Satria ny fiangonana dia maneho ny fahamarinan'Andriamanitra sy ny fahefana ara-panahy Ny Fanjakan'Andriamanitra Eto an-tany.
Fantatry ny Kristianina fa ny ota dia midika hoe fankatoavana ny devoly ary ny fahotana dia nahatonga fisarahana teo amin’izy ireo sy Andriamanitra.
Ao amin’ireo fiangonana maoderina amin’izao andro izao, avela ny fahotana. Ny loholona manota dia tsy anarina eo anatrehan’ny vahoaka intsony ary noho izany dia saika tsy misy intsony ny fahatahorana an’i Jehovah. Tsy misy faniriana hanohitra ny ota sy hiaina fiainana masina sy masina ao amin’i Kristy ny olona.
Ny ankamaroan’ny Kristianina dia te hiaina tahaka an’izao tontolo izao ary tsy te hahafoy ny ainy. Mijanona ara-nofo izy ireo ary miaina ny fiainany manokana araka ny nofo.
Ny loholona iray manota dia maneso an’i Jesosy sy manimba ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra
Many elders and pastors of the church keep living like the world. They live after the flesh instead of the Spirit. Tsy miatrika ny fahotany intsony ireo mpitsidika ny fiangonana. Tsy ahitsy izy ireo, fa maro ny loholona sy ny mpitory teny no mandeha amin’ny ota. Manao izay mahafinaritra azy izy ireo ary mifantoka amin’ny tenany sy ny fanjakany. Tsy miraharaha ny fahasalamana ara-panahin’ny mpino sy ny Fanjakan’Andriamanitra izy ireo.
Isak'izao mihetsika izao, rehefa misy loholona na mpitoriteny manao fahotana, he mocks Jesus and defiles the body of Christ. Through his deed of disobedience to God he damages the Kingdom of God.
A sinning elder or preacher doesn’t walk in love and doesn’t love God above all. Fa ny loholona mpanota dia tia ny tenany sy ny nofony mihoatra noho ny rehetra. Andevon’ny vatany sy ny devoly izy.
Mankatò an’i Jesosy ary tohero ny ota
Ary noho izany, let us become serious again regarding the Kingdom of God. Tsy maintsy misy faniriana ao amin’ny mino tsirairay hankatò an’i Jesosy sy hiaina masina ary handeha amin’ny fahamarinana araka ny sitrapon’Andriamanitra.. Satria ny mino dia tia Azy mihoatra noho ny rehetra, ny mino dia mitandrina ny didiny.
Tohero ny ota, izay tonga amin’ny alalan’ny fakam-panahin’ny devoly amin’ny nofo. Lazao hoe tsia ny fahotana, fa tsy lasa a andevo ny ota.
Nandresy ny ota i Jesoa tamin’ny alalan’ny asa fanavotana tonga lafatra nataony. Raha teraka indray ianao (ny nofonareo dia maty tao amin'i Kristy ary ny fanahinareo dia natsangana tamin'ny maty) Olana vaovao ianao. Mipetraka ao amin'i Kristy ianao ary nomeny anao izay rehetra ilainao hanoherana ny devoly sy ny fahotana ary hanehoana ny Fanjakan'Andriamanitra eto an-tany..
Tsy misy manana fialan-tsiny intsony. Tsy misy afaka manome tsiny olon-kafa, na ny devoly aza. Ny kristiana tsirairay dia tompon'andraikitra amin'ny asany eo amin'ny fiainany ary ho tompon'andraikitra amin'ny andro fitsarana lehibe..
'Aoka ho fanasin'ny tany'
