Asifundi okuningi ngamaNikolawu eBhayibhelini nangemfundiso yamaNikolawu kanye nemisebenzi yamaNikolawu okukhulunywa ngayo kuSambulo. 2:6 kanye neSambulo 2:15. Siyazi kuphela eBhayibhelini ukuthi imfundiso yamaNikolawu nemisebenzi yamaNikolawu kwenzeka e-Efesu nasePhergamo nokuthi uJesu wayezonda imfundiso yamaNikolawu nemisebenzi yamaNikolawu.. Ibandla lase-Efesu laliyibandla elivuthiwe ngokomoya futhi lalizonda imisebenzi yamaNikolawu, njengoJesu. Nokho, ibandla lasePhergamo ngokusobala lalingakavuthwa ngokomoya njengebandla lase-Efesu. Ngoba nakuba amaKristu ayebambelele ngokuqinile eGameni likaJesu futhi engazange aphike ukholo lwawo kuJesu Kristu, amanye amaKristu ayebambe imfundiso yamaNikolawu. Ibandla lasePhergamo lalingayizondi imfundiso yamaNikolawu kanye nemisebenzi yamaNikolawo njengoJesu., kuyilapho ibandla lase-Efesu lalizonda imfundiso kaNikolawu nemisebenzi yabo. Njengoba uJesu wayezonda imfundiso yamaNikolawu kanye nemisebenzi yamaNikolawo futhi ayengahambisani Intando yakhe, UJesu wabiza ibandla lasePhergamu ukuba liphenduke futhi lisuse a.o. lemfundiso yamaNikolawu noma uJesu wayezofika masinyane futhi alwe nabo ngenkemba yomlomo waKhe. Kodwa iyini imfundiso nemisebenzi yamaNikolawo?, uJesu ayezonda? Ayengobani amaNikolawu eBhayibhelini?
Ayengobani amaNikolawu eBhayibhelini?
Nakuba sifunda kuphela eNcwadini yeSambulo mayelana nemfundiso nemisebenzi yamaNikolawu nalokho UJesu wazonda imisebenzi yabo, obaba bebandla lokuqala balobile ngehlelo lamaNikolawu. Obani ababengamaNikolawu? Ngokusho kwabanye obaba bebandla, amaNikolawu kwakungabalandeli bakaNikolasi wase-Antiyokiya, okukhulunywa ngaye eNcwadini yeZenzo isahluko 6, njengomunye wamadoda ayisikhombisa agcwaliswe ngoMoya ebandla lokuqala, ababebekwe phambi kwabaphostoli nenkonzo yemihla ngemihla yabafelokazi.
Kwathi ibandla lisakhula, nenani labafundi landa eJerusalema, kwavela ukukhonona kwamaGreki ngamaHeberu, ngoba abafelokazi babo babengananzwa enkonzweni yensuku zonke. Njengoba abaphostoli abayishumi nambili bazinikela njalo ekukhulekeni nasenkonzweni yezwi, bacela abafundi ukuba bafune phakathi kwabo amadoda ayisikhombisa anombiko oqotho, ababegcwele uMoya oNgcwele nokuhlakanipha, ababengambeka phezu kwalelo bhizinisi. UNicolas wase-Antiyokiya wayengomunye wamadikoni ayisikhombisa, abakhethwa babekwa kulenkonzo (IzEnzo 6:1-7).
UNicolas wayengeyena umJuda ngokwemvelo kodwa uNicolas wayengumproselithe wase-Antiyokiya. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uNicolas wase-Antiyokiya wayengoweZizwe futhi waguqulwa esuka enkolweni yobuqaba waya ebuJudeni futhi wasokwa enyameni futhi wabamba ubukhosi. umthetho kaMose. Kusukela ebuJudeni, UNicolas waguqukela kweLobukholwa futhi waba umlandeli kaJesu Kristu.
Ngesisekelo sokholo lwakhe, UNicolas wathola umbhabhadiso ngoMoya oNgcwele. Ngoba lamadoda ayisikhombisa, ababekhethiwe, kwakungamadoda ahlakaniphileyo anombiko oqotho futhi agcwele uMoya oNgcwele.
UNicolas wamiswa njengedikoni futhi wanikwa umthwalo wemfanelo wenkonzo yansuku zonke.
Ngokusho kobaba bebandla lokuqala (U-Irenaeus, I-Hippolytus, Eusebius, Epiphanius, Theodoret, Isidore waseSeville, Clement) UNicolas wahlubuka emfundisweni ephilayo kaJesu Kristu nabaphostoli futhi washumayela imfundiso engamanga ebandleni likaKristu..
Abanye bathi amaNikolawu ayeyihlelo lama-gnostic. Nakuba iningi lobaba wesonto lokuqala labhala ngamaNikolawu angabalandeli bakaNicolas wase-Antiyokiya, omunye wabadikoni abayisikhombisa, UClement wabhala ukuthi amaNikolawu ayengabalandeli bomunye uNicolas.
Noma ngabe iqiniso liyini, into eyodwa eqinisekile, amaNikolawu achezuka emfundisweni ephilileyo kaJesu Kristu nabaphostoli, langezimfundiso zabo ezingamanga, baholelwa ebugqilini besono.
Iyini imfundiso nemisebenzi yamaNikolawu?
Imfundiso nemisebenzi yamaNikolawu yavela encazelweni eyiphutha yegama likaNkulunkulu umusa kaNkulunkulu okwashunyayelwa ngabaphostoli. Bona wasebenzisa kabi umusa kaNkulunkulu kanye nenkululeko ekuKristu yokugcwalisa kwabo okwenyama (ezocansi) izinkanuko nezifiso.
AmaNikolawo ayekholwa futhi athi umuntu usindiswa ngomusa ngakho-ke akunandaba ukuthi uphila kanjani. AmaNikolawo asho lokho ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, umoya womuntu uyasindiswa, kodwa njengoba niboshiwe yinyama, lapho kukhona okubi, uyohlala njalo hlala uyisoni njalo qhubeka usenza isono. Ukhonza uNkulunkulu ngomoya wakho, kodwa uqhubeka ukhonza inyama yakho nenkanuko nezinkanuko zayo phakathi nokuphila kwakho emhlabeni.
Lokho amaNikolawo ayekusho empeleni, ukuthi ukhonze uNkulunkulu ngomoya wakho, kodwa nikhonza udeveli ngenyama yenu (umphefumulo nomzimba).
Kodwa uJesu uthi umuntu akanakuhlukaniswa futhi akakwazi ukukhonza amakhosi amabili emibuso emibili.
Umuntu uhlala embusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi ukhonza uNkulunkulu noma umuntu uhlala embusweni kadeveli futhi ukhonza udeveli (Mathewu 4:10; 6:24, Luka 4:8; 16:13).
Umuntu angakusho lokho (s)uyakholwa futhi uyasindiswa, kodwa inkulumo nezenzo zakhe kufakazela ukuthi lowo muntu usindisiwe ngempela yini (Funda futhi: ‘Kungani uNkulunkulu anikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa?‘).
Uma wenza lokho iZwi elikushoyo futhi wenze intando kaNkulunkulu, bese ungokaNkulunkulu. Kodwa inqobo nje uma uqhubeka nokukhonza usathane ngenyama yakho, ngokulalela nokwenza intando yenyama nangokuphikelela esonweni, khona-ke usathane akasona isitha sakho, kodwa inkosi yakho, futhi ningabakadeveli. Ngoba ulalela udeveli futhi ulalela usathane futhi wenze intando yakhe(Oh. UJohane 8:44, 1 UJohane 3:8 (Funda futhi: ‘Intando kaNkulunkulu vs intando kadeveli’).
Wonke umbuso owehlukene phakathi awunakuba khona. Awukwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngomoya wakho futhi ukhonze udeveli embusweni wobumnyama ngenyama yakho. Lawo ngamanga kasathane, okwakholwa amaNikolawu namaKristu amaningi namuhla asakukholwa.
AmaNikolawu ayisebenzisa kabi inkululeko yawo kuKristu futhi ayekethisa nezwe futhi aphila ebubini.. Babehileleke ebufebeni (ukungcola kobulili) nokukhonza izithombe futhi bamukela amasiko nemikhuba yobuqaba okholweni lwabo lobuKristu nasebandleni. Balandela izinkanuko, izifiso, nentando yenyama yabo futhi baphila amanyala, njengabeZizwe nje.
Umoya wamaNikolawu ebandleni
Amandla amademoni ayesebenza kumaNikolawu asasebenza nanamuhla. Basazama ukungena ezimpilweni zamaKristu futhi badukise amaKrestu. Njengoba abaholi bethonya abantu, izisulu zikasathane ngabaholi bakamoya bebandla. Kungakho abaholi bakamoya bebandla kufanele banikele izimpilo zabo ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu nasentandweni Yakhe. Kufanele bagcine izingqondo zabo ‘zihlanzekile’ ezintweni zaleli zwe nezingqondo nemizimba yabo kungcwele (ezingcweliselwe iNkosi). Udeveli namadimoni akhe bazokwenza konke abangakwenza ukuyenga abaholi bebandla futhi bathumbe izingqondo zabo futhi babadukise ngemibono engamanga., izambulo, iziprofetho, amafilosofi, okuhlangenwe nakho, nezincazelo zabo siqu zeZwi.
Usathane uyazi, ukuthi uma ukholisa umholi ongokomoya wemfundiso yamanga, awugcinanga ngokuzuza impilo yomholi webandla, kodwa nezimpilo zabantu, abalandela umholi webandla. Ngoba uma umholi webandla ekholwa futhi eshumayela izimfundiso ezingamanga, abantu bazokholwa futhi balandele izimfundiso ezingamanga zomholi webandla labo.
Bheka udeveli nezingelosi eziwile (amademoni). Lapho i- usathane akalalelanga kuNkulunkulu, abalandeli bakhe bahlala bethembekile kuye. Usathane wathatha abalandeli bakhe wahamba naye, njengoba bewa endaweni yabo futhi bephonswa emhlabeni.
AmaNikolawo alandela uNicolas futhi aphakamisa uNicolas ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe, okwabonakala ngemisebenzi yabo nangendlela ababephila ngayo.
NjengoNicolas nabanye abafundisi bamanga bebandla lokuqala (2 UPetru 2, 1 UJohane 4:1, Jude 1), basekhona abafundisi bamanga, abaprofethi bamanga, nabashumayeli bamanga kulezi zinsuku, abaye baziphakamisa njengonkulunkulu futhi banabalandeli abaningi, abalandela umholi wabo ngobumpumputhe futhi bakhonze umholi (Funda futhi: ‘Abefundisi abaningi baholela izimvu kwalasha’).
Iningi lamakholwa alilifundi futhi alitadishe iBhayibheli ngokwalo. Abahloli futhi baqhathanise izimfundiso ezishunyayelwa neqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu. Abafundiswa iZwi noMoya oNgcwele kodwa bakholwa konke okushiwo umholi womoya futhi bakuthathe njengeqiniso.
Nasezinsukwini zethu, umlayezo womusa nenkululeko kuKristu ukhishwe ngaphandle kwengqikithi izimfundiso zamanga.
I umusa kaNkulunkulu futhi inkululeko ekuKristu isetshenziswa kabi ngabaningi ukuze baqhubeke bephila ngezinkanuko nezifiso zenyama futhi bakhonze intando yenyama futhi baphikelele esonweni.. NjengamaNikolawu nje, owathi akunandaba ukuthi uphila kanjani, ngoba inyama yimbi vele. Usindisiwe ngokukholwa. Kodwa usathane nabalandeli bakhe (amademoni) futhi bayakholwa futhi abasindisiwe.
“Ungibiza ngani Mina Nkosi, Nkosi, kodwa ningakwenzi engikushoyo”
Lapho ukholwa kuJesu Kristu futhi Mlandele, uzokwenza lokho uJesu akushoyo, futhi aniyikuzihlanganisa nemisebenzi yenyama, ngoba wena ubeke phansi inyama yakho; lakho impilo endala kuKristu. Uma niqhubeka nenza imisebenzi yenyama, lokhu kufakazela ukuthi inyama yenu ayibethelwanga kanye noKristu nokuthi aniyibekanga inyama yenu, nabulala imisebenzi yenyama. (Oh. AmaRoma 6; 8).
UJesu wayala ibandla lasePhergamo ukuba phenduka kwe a.o. imfundiso yamaNikolawu futhi ningahileleki ekukhonzeni izithombe nasebufebeni, kodwa ubasuse phakathi kwabo, kungenjalo uJesu wayezafika masinyane alwe labo ngenkemba yomlomo waKhe. Amazwi Akhe asasebenza eBandleni Lakhe. Ngakho-ke, masilalele uJesu Kristu futhi silalele Imiyalo Yakhe futhi wenze lokho Akushoyo kungakephuzi kakhulu.
Funda futhi: Ithini imfundiso kaBalami? futhi Ithini imfundiso kaJezebeli futhi uwubona kanjani umoya kaJezebeli?.
