Ngelixa ubhala iposi yebhlog yangaphambili, INkosi yabonisa indima yomphathi wesikrweqe nendlela le ndima ebhekisa ngayo kwindima yethu njengamakholwa nabalandeli bakaYesu Krestu. Makhe sijonge oko iBhayibhile ikutshoyo ngobomi bomphathi wezixhobo kunye neempawu zomphathi wezixhobo. Kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumphathi wesikrweqe sikaYesu Kristu?
Yintoni indima yomphathi wezixhobo?
Umphathi weentonga usenkonzweni yenkosi yakhe. Uziphethe iintonga zakhe, enze ngokomyalelo wenkosi yakhe. Umphathi wezixhobo uyazi, ukuba uyazithoba enkosini yakhe. Akabalulekanga, kodwa inkosi yakhe ibalulekile. Akukho malunga nentando yakhe kunye nento ayifunayo, kodwa konke oko kufunwa yinkosi yakhe.
Nangona umphathi weentonga ezithoba enkosini yakhe, udlala indima ebalulekileyo edabini. UNdikhoyo nomphathi weentonga zakhe elowo unomsebenzi wakhe edabini.
Wenyuka uYonatan, ekhasa ngezandla neenyawo, nomphathi weentonga zakhe esemva kwakhe: awa phambi koYonatan; nomphathi weentonga zakhe esemva kwakhe ebulala(1 uSamuweli 14:13)
Ziziphi iimpawu zomphathi wezixhobo?
Uphawu lokuqala lomphathi weentonga kukuba umphathi weentonga ulandela inkosi yakhe. Naphi na apho iya khona inkosi yakhe, umphathi weentonga zakhe uya kumlandela, akayi kumka ecaleni lenkosi yakhe.
Uphawu lwesibini lomphathi wesikrweqe kukuba umphathi wezixhobo uhlala ehlala ethobela inkosi yakhe, kuzo zonke izinto.
Ngaphakathi 1 uSamuweli 14, sifunda ngedabi, phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli namaFilisti.
UYonatan waphuma emkhosini we 600 waza wayalela umphathi weentonga zakhe ukuba ahambe naye, alwe namaFilisti.
UYonatan wayalela umphathi weentonga zakhe ukuba eze, Umphathi weentonga zakhe wayithobela kwaoko inkosi yakhe.
Umphathi wezixhobo akazange acinge ngayo. Akazange aphikisane nenkosi yakhe kwaye akazange ayibuze. Akatsho kuYonatan, “uYonatan, Ingaba uqinisekile? Ngaba le yinto efanelekileyo ukuyenza? Kutheni singalindi bade bahambe abanye, ukuze sihambe kunye sonke siye kuwahlasela amaFilisti?”
Hayi, umphathi wezixhobo akazange athethe loo nto. Umphathi weentonga wavuma, wayithobela inkosi yakhe, wahamba naye. Kuba wayekholose ngenkosi yakhe ngokupheleleyo. Umphathi weentonga wayesazi ukuba inkosi yakhe yayinolwazi, ubulumko, kunye nokuqonda, ukwenza izigqibo ezifanelekileyo.
UYonatan wamwisela umphathi weentonga zakhe kabini ukuba eze. Zozibini ezo zihlandlo umphathi weentonga zakhe wamthobela uYonatan waza weza.
Okwesibini, uYonatan wamwisela umphathi weentonga zakhe, ukuba eze naye, watsho umphathi weentonga, “Yenza konke okusentliziyweni yakho: Jika wena; khangela, ndikunye nawe ngokwentliziyo yakho.”
Umphathi weentonga uyathobela aze ayilandele inkosi yakhe
Nantoni na uYonatan agqiba ukuyenza, umphathi weentonga zakhe wamthobela, wamlandela. UYonatan wazisa izicwangciso zakhe kumphathi wezixhobo zakhe waza wamenza ukuba abe nenxaxheba kumsebenzi wakhe.
Xa uYonatan wenyuka waya kumaFilisti, umphathi weentonga zakhe wamlandela, wahlala emthunzini wakhe. UYonatan wayenegunya, yonke imihla ebehleli umphathi weentonga zakhe emthunzini wakhe, wabelana naye ngeli gunya. Kodwa kamsinya nje akuba umphathi weentonga esishiya isithunzi sakhe, wayeza kuba yedwa aze aphulukane negunya lakhe.
Umphathi wezixhobo akasayi kuba nalo naliphi na igunya, ngokuba ube luthwali lwezixhobo, engenkosi.
Kwandula ke kwafika elona xesha lilungileyo lentsebenziswano yabo, oko kukuthi, ngexesha awathi uYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe bawahlasela ngalo amaFilisti baza bawoyisa. AmaFilisti awa phambi koYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe esemva kwakhe, ewabulala amaFilisti.. Ngexesha lokuhlaselwa kwabo, ngamnye wayenomsebenzi wakhe yaye bekunye bazuza uloyiso. (Funda kwakhona: Ukholo, isenzo, kunye noloyiso).
Uluhlu lweempawu zomphathi wezixhobo
Kwibali likaYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe, sibona ezi mpawu zilandelayo zomphathi wezixhobo:
- Ubomi bomphathi wezixhobo babunjalo enkonzweni yenkosi yakhe
- Yena wathobela inkosi yakhe
- Yena athenjiweyo inkosi yakhe
- Yena ilandelwe inkosi yakhe
- Yena wahlala emthunzini yenkosi yakhe
- Yena wawenza umsebenzi wakhe ngexesha lomsebenzi wabo
Kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumphathi wesikrweqe sikaYesu Kristu?
Ukuba uyakholwa kuYesu Kristu, bazalwa ngokutsha kuye, baba sisidalwa esitsha (umntu omtsha), wamenza uYesu iNkosi yobomi bakho, ungumthwali weentonga zikaYesu Kristu.
Kanye njengoYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe badityaniswa kunye baza basebenza kunye, udityaniswe kunye noYesu Kristu kwaye usebenza kunye naye.
Bonke ababuki zindwendwe, ezulwini nasemhlabeni, zibekwe phantsi kukaYesu’ iinyawo. UYesu unegunya lonke emazulwini nasemhlabeni! (Owu. UMateyu 28:18, Kwabase-Efese 1:19-23, KwabaseKolose 2:10, Hebhere 2:8).
UYesu weza eGameni likaYise waza wahlala emthunzini waKhe, ngokuthetha amazwi kwaye enze amazwi awathi uYise awathethe kwaye awenze. Wahlala emthobela uYise de kwasekufeni.
UYesu wawugqiba umsebenzi ogqibeleleyo kaThixo wokuhlangula uluntu emhlabeni, ngokufa kwakhe emnqamlezweni.
Emnqamlezweni, UYesu wazithabatha zonke izono, izifo, nobugwenxa behlabathi buphezu kwakhe. Wathwala isohlwayo sesono kukufa, kwaye ungene ngeHadesi. Emva kweentsuku ezintathu, UYesu wavuka njengoVictor kwabafileyo.
Ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlangula nangegazi Lakhe, Wasibuyisela isikhundla (urhulumente) yomntu owileyo waza waxolelanisa umntu kwakhona noThixo.
UYesu uthathe izitshixo (yegunya) niphume kumtyholi, waninika igunya lokulawula kunye naye, egunyeni lakhe kwezasezulwini iindawo. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uYesu uyibophile indoda eyomeleleyo, okanye kufuneka ubophe indoda enamandla?).
Umphathi weentonga ngumkhonzi weNkosi yakhe
Konke kuqala ngokuncama ubomi bakho. UYesu wakuthethayo oku kuzo zonke iivangeli ezine:
Wathi ngoko uYesu kubafundi bakhe, Ukuba kukho mntu uza kundilandela, makazincame, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, ndilandele. Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo: Kwaye othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, wowufumana (UMateyu 16:24-25)
Wasibizela kuye indimbane nabafundi bakhe, Wathi kubo, nabani na oya kuza emva kwam, makazincame, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, ndilandele. Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; kodwa othe wabuncama ubomi bakhe ngenxa yam, nangenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo ezi, Kuyafana kuya kuyigcina (Phawula 8:34-35)
Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo: Kodwa osukuba ephulukana nobomi bakhe ngenxa yam, Kuyafana kuya kuyigcina (ULuka 9:24)
Lowo uthanda ubomi bakhe uya kuphulukana nayo; Kwaye lowo umthiyileyo ubomi bakhe kweli lizwe uya kuyigcina ebomini iphakade. Ukuba kukho mntu undikhonzayo, makandilandele; kwaye apho ndikhona, khona apho kuya kubakho isicaka sam: Ukuba kukho mntu undikhonzayo, Utata uya kuzukisa ubawo (UYohane 12:25-26)
Umphathi wesikrweqe sikaYesu uncama obakhe ubomi
Awukwazi ukukhonza uYesu ngaphandle kwakhot ukuncama ubomi bakho. Ngoba kutheni? Kuba aninako ukulandela uYesu. Umlandeli ulandela umntu. Xa ufuna ukulandela intando yakho kwaye wenze oko kukholekileyo kuwe, emva koko awukwazi ukulandela omnye umntu. Kuba oyena mntu ufuna ukumlandela nguwe.
Akunakuba neenkosi ezimbini ebomini bakho. Kukho inkosi enye kunye nomlandeli omnye.
Xa uthatha isigqibo sokulandela uYesu Kristu, kuthetha ukuba kufuneka unikezele ngentando yakho; yakho'ubuqu‘’, kwaye unikele bonke ubomi bakho kuYe kwaye uzinikele kuYe kwaye ube sisicaka saKhe. (Funda kwakhona: Ukulandela uYesu kuya kukuhlawula yonke into).
Umphathi wezikrweqe zikaYesu uyayithobela iNkosi yakhe
Xa unikezela ngobomi bakho kwaye ukhonze uYesu Kristu, kuthetha ukuba wena Mthande uze umthobele wenze nemithetho yakhe. Ayinamsebenzi into ofuna ukuyenza, into oyivayo, okanye into oyicingayo. Kodwa konke oko kufunwa nguYesu noko kucingwa nguYesu noko iLizwi likutshoyo.
Kanye njengokuba uYesu wenza intando kaYise kwaye wahamba ngemithetho yaKhe, ngoko uya kwenza intando kaYesu kwaye uhambe Imithetho yakhe.
Jwatsho u-esus, Ukuba uyandithanda, Gcina imiyalelo yam (UYohane 14:15)
Ukuba nithi niyigcine imithetho yam, hlalani eluthandweni lwam; njengokuba mna ndayigcinayo imithetho kaBawo, nihlale eluthandweni lwakhe (UYohane 15:10)
Ukuba kukho mntu undikhonzayo, makandilandele; kwaye apho ndikhona, khona apho kuya kubakho isicaka sam: Ukuba kukho mntu undikhonzayo, Utata uya kuzukisa ubawo (UYohane 12:26)
Umphathi weentonga uthembele eNkosini yakhe
Ungamlandela uYesu kuphela ukuba uyakholwa kuye kwaye uthembele ngokupheleleyo eNkosini. Ukholo sisiseko. Xa kukho ukuthandabuza entliziyweni yakho, akunakwenzeka ukuthobela nokulandela uYesu nokuhamba elukholweni.
Xa usitsho, ukuba uyakholwa, ngoko ufanele ukungqine oko ngokuhamba ngokholo nangokuthembela kuYe. Kuba unokuthi uyakholwa, kodwa amazwi nezenzo zakho zibonisa ukuba ngenene uyakholelwa kuYesu nakumazwi akhe okanye hayi.
Kholosa ngoYehova ngentliziyo yakho yonke; ungayami okwakho ukuqonda (IMizekeliso 3:5)
Xa uthembela kuye kwaye unganciki kokwakho ukuqonda, Nothi ke nibe nako ukumlandela.
Umphathi weentonga ulandela iNkosi yakhe
UYesu uyakuyalela ukuba umlandele. Ngoko ke, kufuneka umlandele Yena kunye nentando yaKhe, endaweni yokulandela intando yakho. Wakunika iLizwi laKhe. Ngoku, kuxhomekeke kwinto oyenzayo ngamazwi aKhe.
Xa uthatha umnqamlezo wakho yonke imihla, oko kuthetha ukuba unikezela intando yakho nenyama kuye (ilizwi), Intando yakhe nokuMlandela, uya kuba ludibi lwezixhobo zakhe.
Waza wathi kubo bonke, Ukuba kukho mntu uza kundilandela, makazincame, kwaye uthathe umnqamlezo wakhe yonke imihla, ndilandele (ULuka 9:23)
Umphathi wesikrweqe sikaYesu uhlala emthunzini weNkosi yakhe
Ngalo lonke ixesha uhleli kuYesu Krestu kwaye uhlala emthunzini wakhe, uhamba ngegunya laKhe kwaye ukhuselwe.
Kodwa nje ukuba usishiye isithunzi saKhe uhambe indlela yakho, akuyi kuba nagunya phezu kweerhuluneli, amandla, abalawuli bobumnyama beli hlabathi, nobungendawo bomoya ezindaweni eziphakamileyo.
Kukho izithunzi ezibini onokuphila kuzo. Ungahlala umthunzi wOsenyangweni okanye ithunzi lokufa.
Ithunzi lokufa
Ilizwe lakwaZebhulon, nelizwe lakwaNafetali, ngasendleleni yolwandle, phesheya kweYordan, eGalili yeentlanga; Abantu abo bahleli ebumnyameni babone ukukhanya okukhulu; nabo babehleli kummandla wethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya bakhanyiselwe (UMateyu 4:15-16)
Umthunzi wOsenyangweni
Hayi, ukuba mkhulu kwezibele zakho!, Owu Thixo! Ke oonyana babantu bazimela ngomthunzi wamaphiko akho (Iindumiso 36:7)
Ohleli entsithelweni yOsenyangweni, Uhleli emthunzini woSomandla (Iindumiso 91:1)
Kuba kuhleli kuye konke ukuzaliseka kobuThixo ngokomzimba. Kwaye niphelele kuye, Yeyiphi iNtloko yazo yonke kunye namandla (KwabaseKolose 2:9-10)
Ngalo lonke ixesha uhlala kuYesu Kristu; ilizwi, uya kuhamba emthunzini wakhe negunya lakhe. Xa uhamba ngegunya laKhe, uya kulawula phezu kwemikhosi yonke. (Funda kwakhona: Hamba kulawulo olunikwe nguThixo).
Umphathi wezixhobo unomsebenzi ekufuneka awufeze
Khangela, Ndininika igunya lokunyathela phezu kweenyoka noonomadudwane, naphezu kwawo onke amandla otshaba: kwaye akukho nto iya kuthi nangayo nayiphi na indlela yokwenzakalisa (ULuka 10:19)
UYesu wawugqiba umsebenzi wakhe emhlabeni, Wayibopha eyomeleleyo; umtyholi. UYesu wamoyisa umtyholi emnqamlezweni, nangovuko lwaKhe, Wathabatha izitshixo zegunya emva kuye.
Kuwo wonke umntu, okholwayo kuye wancama ubomi bakhe ukukhonza nokulandela uYesu, Unike amandla (igunya) phezu kwawo onke amandla otshaba; akukho nto ingakhe imenzakalise.
UYesu wawugqiba umsebenzi Wakhe yaye ngoku uhleli phantsi isandla sokunene sikaThixo uYise.
UYesu uyibophile eyomeleleyo, umtyholi. Ngoku, ngumsebenzi wethu ukumosha umzi kwaye sikhulule abantu.
Akukho mntu unokungena endlwini yendoda enamandla, ayiphange impahla yakhe, ngaphandle kokuba akathanga tanci alibophe igorha; andule ke ukuyiphanga indlu yakhe (Phawula 3:27)
Bobabini uYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe babenomsebenzi ekwakufuneka bawenze. UYonatan akazange ayithabathele kuye le misebenzi mibini, ukuze umphathi weentonga angenzi nto. Hayi, amaFilisti awa phambi koYonatan nomphathi weentonga zakhe ukuba bawabulale amaFilisti.
UYesu ukunike umsebenzi ofanele uwufeze
Nawe unomsebenzi wakho ekufuneka uwufeze. UYesu unike wena nabo bonke abathwali bezixhobo zakhe lo msebenzi ulandelayo:
Weza uYesu wathetha kubo, esithi, Linikwe Mna lonke igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni. Hambani ke ngoko, kwaye ufundise zonke izizwe, nibabhaptiza eGameni loYise, kunye noNyana, kunye noMoya oyiNgcwele: Nibafundisa ukuba bazigcine zonke izinto endikuwisele umthetho ngazo nina: kwaye, khangela, Ndihlala nawe rhoqo, Kwanasekupheleni kwehlabathi. Amen (UMateyu 28:18-20).
Lowo ukholwayo aze abhaptizwe; ke yena ongakholwayo, uya kugwetywa. Imiqondiso ke eya kulandelana nabo bakholwayo; Egameni lam baya kukhupha iidemon; baya kuthetha ngeelwimi ezintsha; Baya kuthatha iinyoka; kwaye ukuba basela into ebulalayo, Ayizukukhathaza; Baza kubeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, Kwaye baya kuphila (Phawula 16:16-18)
Awunako ukuthandaza kuThixo kwaye ulindele ukuba athabathe kwaye enze indima yakho; umsebenzi wakho. Ukuba bekunjalo, kengoku senza ntoni sonke apha emhlabeni? Kuba oko kuya kuthetha, ukuba akufuneki wenze nantoni na.
Awunako ukuwunikela kuYe umsebenzi wakho kwaye ulindele ukuba aphumeze oko ubufanele ukukwenza. Ngumsebenzi wakho ukuzalisekisa umsebenzi owunikwe nguYesu. UYesu uyenzile indima yakhe, ngoku kufuneka wenze eyakho indima. Oko kuthetha isenzo!
Ngalo lonke ixesha ubomi bakho busenkonzweni kaYesu Krestu kwaye uzinikela kuYe kwaye umthobele, mthembe, Mlandeleni, ndihlale kuye, emva koko uya kuba nakho ukuzalisekisa umsebenzi wakho kwaye uzalisekise umsebenzi kaThixo emhlabeni.
‘Yiba yityuwa yomhlaba’
