Lesole le ka roala junifomo e nepahetseng bakeng sa ts'ireletso, Empa haeba lesole le kena lebaleng la ntoa ntle le sebetsa kapa haeba lesole le sa ruteha ebile ha le tsebe ho sebelisa sebetsa sa hae, lesole le ke ke la khona ho loants'a le ho ema khahlanong le sera 'me qetellong le tla lahleheloa ke ntoa. Hobane haufinyane sera se fumana hore lesole le se na lihlong kapa la sa tsebe ho sebelisa sebetsa sa hae, sera se tla hlasela le ho fumana tlholo. Lesole ntle le sebetsa kapa lesole, ea sa rutoang mme ha a tsebe ho sebelisa sebetsa sa hae, ha e khone ho hlola. Sena se boetse se sebetsa ho Mokreste e mong le e mong, ea tsoetsoeng hape ho Kreste 'me oa ba oa lebotho la Molimo le halalelang la Molimo. Lesole le leng le le leng la Kreste le lokela ho tseba ho sebelisa sabole ea moea ntoeng. Bebele e re'ng ka sabole ea moea? Sabole ea moea e bolela'ng?
Ke eng Sabole ya Moya?
Ema ke hona, le itlamile matheka ka hohle ka nnete, le ho apara tšireletso ea sefuba ea ho loka; Le maotong a lōna le roetsoe tlhophiso ea Evangeli ea khotso; Ka holim'a tsohle, ho nka thebe ya tumelo, ka tsona le tla tseba ho tima metsu yohle e tjhesang ya molotsana. Le nke heleme ea poloko, le sabole ya Moya, e leng lentswe la Modimo (Baefese 6:14-17)
Sabole ea moea ke eona feela sebetsa le ntho e khopisang ea lihlomo tsa Molimo tsa moea, eo u ka hlaselang sera 'me ea hlola. Sabole ea moea ke lentsoe la Molimo. Ka hona o ka hlasela mme o ka hlola Diabolose le dinoko tsa hae ka yone ka Letswa ga Modimo.
Ka bomalimabe, Lilemong tse fetileng, Diabolose o ekelitse sebaka sa hae mme o bile le mobu o mangata moeeng, Ka lebaka la ho hloka tsebo ho balumeli le ho hloka tsebo ka lentsoe la Molimo; nete.
Batho ba bangata ba ithetsitse ka maikutlo le mantsoe a batho ba tsoang kelellong ea nama 'me ba lekile ho loants'a lintoa tsa moea le tsona lithuto tsa bohata Mekhoa ea Prantal le ka lebaka la tseo ba bangata ba lahlehetsoeng ke ntoa moeeng 'me ka linako tse ling ba ne ba tlohetse Molimo le Lentsoe la hae' me ba kena tseleng ea lefatše.
Hobane ha re loane le nama le madi
Hobane ha re loane le nama le madi, empa e le kgahlano le mahosana, kgahlanong le matla, khahlanong le babusi ba lefifi la lefatše lena, khahlanong le bokhopo ba moea libakeng tse phahameng (Baefese 6:12)
Empa joalo ka ha e ngotsoe, Ha re loane le nama le mali, empa e le kgahlano le mahosana, matla, babusi ba lefifi la lefatše lena, khahlanong le bokhopo ba moea libakeng tse phahameng. Ka hona, Re ke ke ra loana ntoa ea moea 'me re hlola sera ho nama ka ho sebelisa mantsoe a Carnal, mekhoa ea tlhaho, le mekhoa.
Mokhoa o le mong feela oa ho loana ntoa ea moea 'me u hlōle sera' me u etse phetoho e tsoang moeeng, Ho tsoa maemong a hau ho Kreste a sebelisa sabole ea moea, e leng Lentswe la Modimo.
Lentsoe la Molimo ke 'Nete le' Nete Feela, the Monna e mocha e khona ho lemoha, pepesa, khalemelo, le ho senya mashano le mesebetsi ea Diabolose le 'muso oa hae.
Jesu o ile a hlola Diabolose ka sabole ea moea
Hape, Diabolose o mo nyolohela thabeng e phahameng haholo, mme a mo sheba tsohle tsa lefatše, le khanya ea bona; Le ho mo joetsa, Lintho tsena kaofela ke tla u fa tsona, Haeba u tla oela fatše 'me u ntsebe. Yaba Sath Jesu ho yena, Fumana uena ka hona, Satane: Hobane ho ngotsoe, U tla rapela Morena oa hao Molimo oa hao, U tla sebeletsa feela. Ebe diabolose oa mo tlohela, le, bona, Mangeloi a ile a tla 'me a mo sebeletsa ho eena (Mattheu 4:8-11)
Jesu o ne a kena ke Lentsoe le phelang 'me o ne a tseba thato le mofuta oa ntate oa hae. Ha Jesu a ne a tataisoa ke moea o halalelang hore e be lefeelleng, Diabolose o ile a leka ho leka Jesu. Diabolosi ha aa ka a sebelisa mantsoe a hae, Empa o sebelisitse mantsoe a Molimo. Leha ho le joalo, the devil used the words of God in the wrong context.
Diabolose o ile a leka ho leka Jesu, by using the words of God for Himself and the lusts and desires of His flesh.
But Jesus knew the words and the will of His Father. Jesus knew the nature of His Father and He knew the nature of the devil. Therefore Jesus discerned the lies of the devil.
Jesus didn’t listen to the words of the devil and the will and the lusts and desires of the flesh and didn’t bow to the devil and His flesh, but Jesus stayed obedient to the will of His Father and used the words of God in the right context and said: “It is written….”
And so the two-edged Sword came out of His mouth and Jesus defeated the devil with the offensive weapon of the Spirit.
Jesu o re bontšitse, that this is the only way to expose the lies of the devil and to silence and defeat the devil
O hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Bakang; kapa ho seng joalo ke tla tla ho uena kapele, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth (Tšenolo 2:15-16)
And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God (Tšenolo 19:15)
The two-edged Sword came out of the mouth of Jesus during His life on earth, after His life on earth, and shall always come out of His mouth.
Fighting without the Sword of the Spirit
Diabolosi oa tseba, that a believer can’t fight the spiritual warfare without the Sword of the Spirit, nor fight without knowing how to use the Sword of the Spirit. Ka hona, the devil tries to distract born again believers and keep them far away from the Word, so that they stay ignorant and he’ll be able to mislead and tempt them with his lies.
The devil also knows, that he doesn’t have to worry about carnal people, who have a lot of knowledge about the Bible, empa ha ba eso tsoaloe hape. Since he knows, these carnal people are unspiritual and sense-ruled and are not able to walk by faith and apply the words of God in their lives.
Therefore all this knowledge of the Bible shall not do anything, but shall only puff them up. So that they walk in pride and exalt themselves above others.
Ke batho ba tlhaho, who don’t have the Holy Spirit and don’t see the spiritual warfare between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.
Although they have a lot of carnal knowledge about the Sword of the Spirit, they lack spiritual understanding and don’t know how to use the Sword of the Spirit, and don’t do anything with it. Ka lebaka la seo, they are no threat to the devil and his kingdom (Bala hape: Ho senya mesebetsi ya Modimo sebakeng sa mesebetsi ya diabolosi)
And so there are many people, who have attended church for years and have a lot of knowledge about the Bible and visit seminars and follow all the latest ‘faith trends’ and are always learning, without coming to the knowledge of the Truth (2 Timothea 3:7).
Take the Sword of the Spirit
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hobane lentsoe la Molimo le phela, le matla, mme e bohale ho feta sabole efe kapa efe e leoditsweng ka nqa tse pedi, ho phunya le ho isa ho arola moea le moea, le ya manonyeletso le moko, mme le lemoha menahano le mehopolo ya pelo. Hape ha ho sebopuwa se sa bonahaleng mahlong a Hae: empa tsohle di hlobotse, di tutubolohile mahlong a eo re nang le taba le yena (Baheberu 4:11-13)
Many believers beg God to take away the spiritual battles from them, but God will never do that. He will be with you, guide you and protect you, but you have to take the Sword of the Spirit, e leng Lentswe la Modimo, and fight the battle with the Word of God, joalo ka Jesu.
Hafeela u lula ho Jesu Kreste; Lentswe, you shall be clothed with the spiritual armor of God. By faith in the Word and doing the Word, you shall be protected and with the two-edged Sword, you shall be able to attack the enemy and be an overcomer.
Therefore it’s important to know the Word. Because if you don’t read and study the Word of God by the Holy Spirit, you shall stay ignorant about the truth of God and His will and you shall not be able to fight the fight of faith, let alone to stand by faith during the fight and be victorious.
Ka lentsoe feela, you shall get to know the Father and His will and by applying the words of God in your life you shall be able to resist and defeat the devil and be victorious.
The ongoing spiritual warfare
Jwale ho lebohuwe Modimo, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. Hobane ho Modimo re monko o monate wa Kreste, ho ba bolokehang, le ho ba timelang: Ho ba bang re monko wa lefu o isang lefung; mme ho ba bang monko wa bophelo o isa bophelong (2 Korinthe 2:14-16)
Hobane bohle ba tswetsweng ke Modimo ba hlola lefatshe: mme ena ke tlholo e hlolang lefatshe, esita le tumelo ya rona. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 Johanne 5:4-5)
'Me ka utloa lentsoe le phahameng leholimong, Jwale ho tlile poloko, le matla, and the kingdom of our God, le matla a Kreste wa hae: hobane moqosi wa banababo rona o dihetswe fatshe, ba ba latofatsang fa pele ga Modimo wa rona motshegare le bosigo. Mme ba mo hlotse ka madi a Konyana, le ka lentswe la bopaki ba bona; mme ha ba ka ba rata bophelo ba bona ho isa lefung (Tšenolo 12:11)
Ke na le alpha le omega, Qalo le Bofelo. Ea nyoriloeng ke tla mo fa feela seliba sa metsi a bophelo. Ea hlōlang o tla jari lintho tsohle; 'me ke tla ba Molimo oa hae, e tla ba mora oa ka (Tšenolo 21:6-7)
Life is an ongoing spiritual warfare. Sometimes a certain battle may be overcome quickly and sometimes it may take a little bit longer. Empa ho na le ntho e le 'ngoe e tiileng, if you stay in Jesus Christ and fight from your position in Christ by the Spirit, standing by faith on the Word and don’t give up, and take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God and use it the right way, then you shall be victorious and be an overcomer.
That’s the promise of God, the Word testifies of.
