KuHoseya 4:6, UThixo wathetha nomprofeti uHoseya ngokuphathelele abantu Bakhe abangathembekanga bakwaSirayeli nemiphumo yokungathembeki nokukrexeza kwabo kubantu Bakhe nelizwe.. Wathi uThixo, Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi. Nangona uThixo wawathetha la mazwi kubantu bakhe kuMnqophiso oMdala, sibona into efanayo isenzeka nakubantu bakaThixo namhlanje. Maninzi amaKristu, abathi nangona benolwazi lweBhayibhile baye bayishiya inyaniso kaThixo baza abathembekanga yaye ngenxa yoko bayatshatyalaliswa. Batshabalala njani abantu bakaThixo ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi? Yintoni enokwenziwa libandla ukuze abantu bakaThixo bangatshatyalaliswa?
Akukho nyaniso, okanye inceba, kwanokwazi uThixo
Liveni ilizwi leNkosi, Nina nyana bakaSirayeli: ngokuba uYehova ubambene nabemi belizwe, kuba akukho nyaniso, okanye inceba, Kwanolwazi ngoThixo emhlabeni. Ngokufunga, kunye nokuxoka, kunye nokubulala, kwaye ubusela, nokukrexeza, bayaphuma, negazi elichukumisa igazi. Ngenxa yoko ilizwe liya kulila, Bonke abahlala kulo, baya kutshaya, Ngemihlambi yentsimi, kunye neentaka zezulu; ewe, Iintlanzi zolwandle nazo ziya kuthatyathwa. Kodwa makungabikho namnye uzamayo, okanye wohlwaya omnye: ngokuba abantu bakowenu banjengobambene nombingeleli. ngenxa yoko uya kuwa emini, kwanomprofeti lowo uya kuwa nawe ebusuku, ndimtshabalalise unyoko (uHoseya 4:1-5)
Abantu bakaThixo baye abathembeka kuThixo baza bakrexeza neentlanga ezingabahedeni. Abazange bahlale bethembekile kuThixo nakumthetho waKhe kwaye abazange bazahlule kwiinkcubeko zobuhedeni, kodwa balalanisa, kwaye bavumela kwaye bamkele inkcubeko yobuhedeni kwilizwe labo. Babenenxaxheba kwizithethe zabo nakwizenzo zabo, apho abantu bakaThixo banqula izithixo kwaye bakrexeza neentlanga ezingabahedeni.
Kungenxa yokuba abantu bakaThixo babekrexezile neentlanga ezingabahedeni, ababekhonza oothixo basemzini, kwakungasekho nyaniso elizweni, okanye inceba, kwanokwazi uThixo.
Ngokuthuka nangokuxoka, ukubulala, ubusela, nokukrexeza, zaqhambuka kwaza kwaphalala igazi (Funda kwakhona: Uphalazo-gazi nokuchas’ umthetho esidiliyeni).
Ngenxa ye (ukungalungisi) imisebenzi yabemi belizwe, ilizwe lathwaxwa sisono.
Umhlaba walila ngenxa yobomi kunye nemisebenzi yabemi
Ilizwe lenza isijwili;, iintaka zezulu, kwaneentlanzi zolwandle ziya kuthinjwa.
Kwaye akukho mntu wenza nto ngaloo nto!
Yonke into yayivunyelwe, akukho bani uguqukayo kwaye akukho namnye wohlwaywayo, ilungisiwe, siqeqeshwa ngumthetho, nto leyo efanekisela ukuthanda kukaThixo noBukumkani Bakhe.
Wonke umntu wathi cwaka waza waqhubeka nemisebenzi yakhe engendawo.
Imisebenzi yabo engendawo yatyhila uthando lwabo kunye nosathana kunye nokugatywa kwabo nentiyo ngakuThixo.
Abemi belizwe abazange bazisole ngezenzo zabo nendlela yabo yokuphila. Akazange avume ukubuyela kuThixo aze aguquke aze asuse izono phakathi kwawo, apho bona kunye nelizwe labo baya kusindiswa kwaye babuyiselwe (ukuphiliswa).
Kwaye ke abantu bakaThixo bazizisela ububi kwaye batshatyalaliswa kukuswela ulwazi. (Funda kwakhona: Abantu abanobubi bazizisa)
Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi: ngokuba ukucekisile ukwazi, nam ndiya kukucekisa, ukuze ungabi ngumbingeleli kum: Uwulibele umyalelo woThixo wakho, ndobalibala abantwana bakho nam. Njengoko babesanda, bandona ke: ngoko ke uzuko lwabo ndiya kulwananisa ngocukucezo
uHoseya 4:6-7
Kwakutheni ukuze abantu bakaThixo batshatyalaliswe ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi?
Abantu bakaThixo batshatyalaliswa ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi ngenxa yokuba babengalugqali ulwazi lukaThixo njengenyaniso. Babengakholelwa yaye ngenxa yoko abazange bahambe ngolwazi lukaThixo. Abantu bakaThixo balugatya ulwazi lukaThixo baza bahamba ngokolwazi lwabo, ukuqonda, kwaye uya kukuthanda ngokuzingca.
Kungenxa yokuba abantu bakaThixo abazange bamthobele uThixo nomthetho Wakhe, kodwa walugatya ulwazi lukaThixo, abamkhanyelayo uThixo, Kwakhona uThixo wayeza kubalahla abantu Bakhe. (Funda kwakhona: UThixo wagatya iicawa ezininzi).
Abantu babengayi kuphinda babe ngababingeleli kuThixo, kuba abantu bebengaphili ngokomthetho, bengahambanga ngemithetho yakhe, Bawulibele umthetho woThixo wabo. Ngoko ke, UThixo wayeza kubalibala abantwana babo (oonyana).
Babeza kuzalwa oonyana abaninzi kwelo lizwe, kokukhona besona kuYehova, ekubeni bengahambi ngokuthanda kwakhe. Ngoko ke, UThixo wayeza kuluguqula uzuko lwabo lube lihlazo.
Iicawa ezininzi ziye azathembeka zaza zakrexeza
Kodwa asiyiboni into efanayo eyenzekayo ngeenxa zonke kuthi? Xa sijonga imeko yabantu bakaThixo kwaye sijonge imeko yeCawa; uMzimba kaKristu, asiziboni kwa izinto ezifanayo zisenzeka eBandleni?
Ukoyika uYehova kuphelile. Kunzima ukufumana ukuthembeka. I uthando lukaThixo luya kubanda. Ulwazi lukaThixo kunye neLizwi Lakhe alukho kwaye nemithetho kaThixo yaliwe.
Inyaniso kaThixo iye yaguqulwa yaba bubuxoki. Nesono (unqulo-zithixo, Ukuziphatha okubi ngokwesini, uhenyuzo, ukuhlala kunye ungatshatanga, ukukrexeza (uqhawulo-mtshato), ukuxoka, ubusela, ukubulala (kubandakanya isisu, I-Euthanasia, ukuzibulala, njl.) ixhaphakile kwaye iyanyamezelwa kwaye yamkelwe ebandleni.
Kucacile ukuba zonke ezi zinto ziyenzeka ehlabathini, ekubeni bengahloneli Thixo (i ongendawo) baye baligatya iLizwi likaThixo yaye abafuni nantoni na yakwenza noThixo. Ngoko ke bahlala ebumnyameni, esonweni, nenze ezo zinto zimbi, eyi lisikizi kuThixo.
Abamazi uYesu Kristu yaye abamkhonzi uThixo, kodwa bakhonza inyama yabo ngokuthobela ukuthanda kwabo kwenyama, inkanuko, kunye neminqweno.
Kwaye njengoko isiphelo sisondela kwaye ububi banda, isono siya kwanda kwaye ngenxa yoko, igazi liya kuza phezu komhlaba, ihlabathi nako konke okungaphakathi liya kuphelelwa ngamandla.
Kodwa amaKristu akafanele aphile njengehlabathi, ekubeni bengengabo abehlabathi, nomphathi wobumnyama, kodwa ngako ukuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu Yesu, ngabakaThixo uYise. Kwaye u, sibona izinto ezifanayo zisenzeka ezicaweni ezininzi.
Kutheni iicawa ezininzi zitshatyalaliswa ngenxa yokungabi nalwazi
Sibona izinto ezifanayo ezenzeka ehlabathini zisenzeka kwiicawa ezininzi. Njenge, ezi zinto zenzeka kwilizwe labantu bakaThixo, kuphela ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi.
AmaKristu amaninzi, kuquka neenkokeli ezininzi zebandla, ukuswela ulwazi, nto leyo ethetha ukuba baswele ulwazi lukaThixo kwaye ngenxa yoko baswele ukuqonda kokomoya kwaye abaqhelananga nentando yakhe..
Abanawo uMoya kaThixo kwaye abacalula oomoya, kodwa banomoya wehlabathi, abathi ngayo benze kwaezo zinto, babe nobomi obufanayo, nithwale isiqhamo esifana nesehlabathi.
Abakhange bazahlule ehlabathini yaye abathembekanga kuThixo, kodwa bafana nehlabathi kwaye bawagatyile amazwi kaThixo nolwazi Lwakhe nentando Yakhe baza bananisela ulwazi lwenyama namazwi omntu., ephuma kwingqondo yenyama elawulwa ngumlawuli wehlabathi, kwaye yanelisa intando yomntu wenyama. (Funda kwakhona: Yenza iBhayibhile nesayensi uhambe kunye?).
Abazithobanga kuThixo kwaye abakhokelwa liLizwi likaThixo, kodwa bakhokelwa zizinto ezithethwa lihlabathi, nangeemvakalelo zabo, iimvakalelo, nengqondo yomntu ithi, kwaye ngenxa yoko abahambi enyanisweni, bahamba ngobuxoki.
Kwaye ke abantu bakaThixo bayatshatyalaliswa ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi.
Ngenxa yesibakala sokuba abammameli uThixo yaye abakulungelanga ukunikezela kuYesu Kristu; ILizwi kwaye benze intando yaKhe kwaye bagcine imiyalelo yakhe kwaye abafuni ukususa izono ebomini babo naphakathi kwabo, kodwa uyawachasa amazwi nemithetho yakhe, UThixo ubacekisile, wabanikela engqiqweni engacikidekileyo, ukuba benze izinto ezingafanelekileyo, kwaye uyayoliswa sisono kwaye uyakholiswa sisono kwaye uyabaxhasa abo bahlala esonweni, ngeso sanda isono nokuchasa umthetho, esikhundleni sokuncipha (Funda kwakhona: Yintoni ingqondo engafanelekanga?).
Guquka, kuba ubukumkani bamazulu busondele
Ibandla malingenzi impazamo efanayo neyabantu bakaThixo abakumnqophiso omdala. Ibandla malingamkhanyeli uYesu Kristu kwaye limgatye ngokugatya amazwi kaThixo nemithetho yakhe. Kodwa ibandla malibuyele kuThixo nakwiLizwi laKhe livumele iLizwi likaThixo libe lelona gunya liphezulu ebandleni.
Ayisiyonto ithethwa lihlabathi, akukho malunga nokuba iimvakalelo zakho kunye neemvakalelo zakho zithini, ayingoluvo lwakho, ayisiyiyo malunga neziphumo zakho kunye nento oyifunayo, kodwa konke oko uThixo akuthethayo eLizwini laKhe! (Funda kwakhona: Ayilombono wam, kodwa umbono wakho).
UYesu Krestu uyiNtloko yeBandla laKhe kunye nebandla ngalinye lasekuhlaleni elingavumiyo ukuzithoba kwiNtloko kwaye lingawathobeli amazwi aKhe kwaye lingagcini imiyalelo yakhe., ungabi ngokaYesu Kristu.
Ngoko ke, guquka kwaye ususe izono ebomini bakho kwaye uhlaziye ingqondo yakho ngeLizwi likaThixo, ukuze ukwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo uze uhambe ekuthandeni kwakhe.
Vumela iLizwi libe lelona gunya liphezulu ebomini bakho kwaye ube ngumenzi weLizwi, ukuze ningatshabalali ngokuswela ukwazi, kodwa uya kuma.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
