IBhayibhile isisibonisa ukubaluleka kokuthandazela amanye amakholwa. KwiTestamente eNtsha, Sifunda ukuba uYesu kunye nabapostile bathandazela amanye amakholwa. Ngamanye amaxesha ukuthandazela amanye amakholwa kunokubaluleka kubalulekile. Ukuba amaKristu ayazi amandla omthandazo kwaye uthandazela abo, Ngubani na owenzeyo nguThixo, wabeka umoya wawo, Emva koko izinto ezinkulu ziya kwenzeka. Nangona uninzi lwamakholweni luyathembisa, ukuba bayathandazela abanye, Bambalwa kuphela kubo bagcina isithembiso sabo kwaye benze oko bakuthethayo. Ngoko ke, sukungxama kakhulu ngamagama othethayo nesithembiso(s) wenza. Sukukhokelwa ziimvakalelo zakho kunye neemvakalelo zakho ngexesha lengxoxo, Kodwa yibani cwaka kwaye nimamele kwaye nikhokelwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele.
UYesu wathandazela abo, ebemnikwe nguThixo
UYesu akazange athandazele umhlaba. Kodwa uYesu wathandazela abo, ebemnikwe nguyise. Wathandazela abo, Ngubani na owakholwayo kuye, waba nguBawo. UYesu wathi kuYise, ukuba wayeyigada kwaye eqinisekile ukuba akukho namnye kubo olahlekileyo, Ngaphandle kukaYude. Kodwa uYesu wayesazi kwangaphambili, ukuba le nto inokwenzeka, Ukuze izibhalo zizaliseke.
UYesu akazange athandaze amcela uBawo, ukuba uza kuthatha amakholwa ngaphandle kweli lizwe. Kodwa uYesu wathandaza kuBawo, ukuba azigcine ebubini. Wayethandaza uYesu:
Azikho emhlabeni, Nokuba andinguye wehlabathi. Bangcwalise ngeNyaniso yakho: Ilizwi lakho liyinyaniso. Njengokuba undithumele ehlabathini, Nangona kunjalo, ndibathumile na ehlabathini. Kwaye ngenxa yabo ndiyazingcwalisa, ukuze bangcwaliswe ngenyaniso.
Ndingathandazi ukuba ndikhe ndedwa, Kodwa kubo baya kukholwa kum ngelizwi labo; Ukuba bonke babe; njengawe, Utata, ubugcisa kum, nam ndikuwe, ukuba nabo babe banye kuthi: ukuze ihlabathi likholwe ukuba undithumele.
Nobuqaqawuli owandinika mna ukuba ndibanike; ukuba babe ngomnye, nokuba sinjalo: Mna, Kwaye wena kum, ukuze bagqibelele kwenye; Kwaye ukuze ihlabathi lazi ukuba undithumile, kwaye ubathanda, Njengoko undithanda.
Utata, Ndiza kuyenza nabo, lowo undinike bona, Yiba nam apho ndikhona; ukuze babone ubuqaqawuli bam, ondinike bona: kuba undithanda phambi kwesiseko sehlabathi. Owu Bawo Olilungisa, Umhlaba ungayazi: Kodwa ndiyazazi, Bazazi ke ukuba undithumile. Kwaye ndibaxelele igama lakho, kwaye iya kuwazisa: ukuba uthando oluthile ngalo (UYohane 17:16-26)
UYesu akazange athandaze kuphela amakholwa, ababenaye, Kodwa wathandazela amakholwa, Ngubani onokukholelwa kuye, Ngokushunyayelwa kwegama, Kwaye yinxalenye yabantu bakaThixo kwaye yeyakhe.
UYesu wathandazela uPetros
Utsho * uNdikhoyo, Simon, Simon, khangela, USathana unqwenela ukuba nawe, ukuba unokukugqitha njengengqolowa: Kodwa ndikuthandazile, ukuze ukholo lwakho lungapheli: Kwaye xa uguqukile, Yomeleza abazalwana bakho. (ULuka 22:31-32)
UYesu wenza inkqubela phambili ngoSimon Petros; Kuba uza kuqhubeka ntoni kwixesha elizayo. UYesu wayesazi, Ukuba uMtyholi wayefuna ukuba uSimon Petros aze amqhumisele njengengqolowa. Ke ngoko uYesu wathandaza uSimon Petros, Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kwento yokuba wamkhanyela uYesu Kristu, Ukholo lwakhe aluyi kusilela. Kwaye umthandazo kaYesu waphendulwa (Funda kwakhona: USimon Petros, indoda eyayimthanda uYesu).
Kuba ngomhla we IPentekoste, Umhla wokuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele kunye nokuzalwa kweNdalo entsha; ibandla, UPeter wayengomnye, Ngubani owakhokela phakathi kwabafundi bakaYesu.
UPetros wabona ngesibindi esidlangalaleni esidlangalaleni kuYesu, uKrestu unyana kaThixo ophilayo. Kwaye amakholwa akhe alandele emanyathelweni akhe kwaye washumayeza uYesu nguKristu; Unyana kaThixo ophilayo (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uyamvuma uYesu okanye uyamkhanyela uYesu phambi kwabantu?).
UMoya oyiNgcwele uyazi kakuhle into eza kwenzeka kwikamva. Uya kulityhila ikamva kumakholwa, Ukuze amakholwa abe yingcali kwaye athandaze amanye amakholwa, kunye nezinto kunye nemicimbi, Oko kuya kwenzeka kwixesha elizayo.
Abapostile bathandazela amanye amakholwa
Oonobumba bakaPaul, UJames, kwaye uJohn usibonisa, ukuba nabapostile bathandazela abangcwele, njengoYesu. Azange bayeke ukuthandazela amanye amakholwa, Kuba bawazi amandla omthandazo kunye nokubaluleka kokunyamezela ekuthandazeni amanye amakholwa (Funda kwakhona: Imfuneko yomthandazo ozingisileyo?).
Kuba uThixo ulingqina lam, Ndikhonza nomoya wam kwivangeli yoNyana wakhe, Ngaphandle kokuyeka ndikhankanywe rhoqo kwimithandazo yam; Ukwenza isicelo, Ukuba nangayiphi na indlela ngoku ixesha elide ndinokuba nohambo oluchumileyo ngokuthanda kukaThixo ukuba ndiza kuwe. (AmaRoma 1:9)
Sizizigidimi ke ngoko ngenxa kaKristu, ngokungathi uThixo uniyala ngathi: sithandaza endaweni kaKristu, manixolelaniswe noThixo. kuba yena wamenza isono ngenxa yethu, ababengasazi isono; ukuze sibe senziwe ubulungisa bukaThixo kuye (2 KwabaseKorinte 5:20-21)
Ngoku ndithandaza kuThixo ukuba akenzi into embi; hayi ukuba kufuneka sibonakale sivunyiwe, kodwa ukuze wenze oko kunyanisekileyo, Nangona siba njalo njengokunqulwa. Kuba singenzi nto ngokuchasene nenyaniso, Kodwa ngenyaniso. Kuba siyavuya, Xa sibuthathaka, kwaye womelele: Kwaye oku sinqwenela, Nditsho nemfezeko yakho (2 KwabaseKorinte 13:7-9)
Kungoko nam nam, Emva kokuba ndeva ukholo lwakho kwiNkosi uYesu, kunye nothando kubo bonke abangcwele, Ukuyeka ukungabuseli ngenxa yakho, Ukwenza ukukhankanywa kwakho kwimithandazo yam; Ukuze uThixo weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, Utata wozuko, Ungakunika umoya wobulumko kunye nesityhilelo kulwazi ngaye: Amehlo okuqonda kwakho uyakhanyiselwa; ukuze nazi ukuba lingathini na ithemba lokubiza kwakhe, Obunjani ubutyebi bozuko lwelifa lakhe kwabangcwele, Kwaye buyintoni ubukhulu obungaphezulu kwamandla akhe kuthi-bakhonyezwe, Ngokokusebenza kwamandla akhe amakhulu, Ebezisebenzisa kuKristu, Xa wamvusa kwabafileyo, Wammisa kwisandla sakhe sasekunene kwezasezulwini iindawo, Ngaphezu kwayo yonke intloko, kunye namandla, kwaye inokwenzeka, kunye nolawulo, kwaye onke amagama abizwayo, hayi kuphela kweli lizwe, kodwa nakwinto ezayo ezayo: Zibeke zonke izinto phantsi kweenyawo zakhe, wamnika ukuba abe yintloko yeento zonke kwiCawe, Nguwuphi umzimba wakhe, ukuzala kwakhe okufanelayo konke konke (Kwabase-Efese 1:15-22)
Kwaye le ndithandaza, ukuba umthanda kakhulu unokuphuphuma ngakumbi kwaye nangakumbi kulwazi nakulo lonke umgwebo; ukuba ungavuma izinto ezilungileyo
Kwaye le ndithandaza, ukuba uthando lwakho luphuphume ngakumbi ngolwazi nangomgwebo wonke; Ukuze nivume izinto ezilungileyo; ukuze ninyaniseke, niye kunene, kude kube yimini kaKristu; Ukuzaliswa ziziqhamo zobulungisa, EngoYesu Krestu, Kuzuko nendumiso kaThixo (KwabaseFilipi 1:9-11)
Sibulela kuye uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, Ukuthandaza rhoqo kuwe, Kuba seva ngokholo lwakho kuKristu Yesu, nothando olunalo kubo bonke abangcwele, Ngethemba elibekelwe ezulwini, apho niyivilenga ngaphambili kwilizwi lenyaniso yeVangeli (KwabaseKolose 1:3-5)
Ngenxa yesi sizathu thina, Ukusukela ngala mhla siyivileyo, Sukuyeka ukuthandaza, Nokufuna ukuba nizaliswe kukwazi ukuthanda kwakhe, nasekuqondeni kwakhe ngokomoya; Ukuze nihambe ngokufanelekela kwiNkosi,, Ukufuduswa kuwo wonke umsebenzi olungileyo, kunye nokwandisa ulwazi ngoThixo; Ndomelezwe bonke, Ngokwamandla akhe ozukileyo, Kubo bonke umonde nokuzeka kade umsindo ngovuyo; Nibulela kuBawo, owasenza sakulingana ukuba nesabelo kwilifa labangcwele ekukhanyeni: owasihlangulayo egunyeni lobumnyama, Uye wasiguqulela ebukumkanini boNyana wakhe othandekayo (KwabaseKolose 1:9-13)
I-Eppihdrans, ngubani omnye wakho, Isicaka sikaKristu, ndiyakutobut, Hlala usebenzela ngokunyaniseka kuwe kwimithandazweni, ukuze nime egqibeleleyo, nigqibelele kuyo yonke ukuthanda kukaThixo (KwabaseKolose 4:12)
Siyabulela kuThixo rhoqo ngenxa yakho, Ukwenza ukukhankanywa kwakho kwimithandazo yethu; Ukukhumbula ngaphandle kokuyeka umsebenzi wakho wokholo, kunye nomsebenzi wothando, Umonde wethemba kwiNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, emehlweni kaThixo noBawo wethu (1 KwabaseTesalonika 1:2-3)
Ubusuku nemini thandaza kakhulu ukuba singabubona ubuso bakho, kwaye unokugqibelela oko kuswelekileyo kukholo lwakho? (1 KwabaseTesalonika 3:10)
Kwaye ndiyathandaza uThixo wakho nomphefumlo wakho nomphefumlo nomzimba walondolozekile ukuza kweNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu. Uthembekile Lowo Ukufowunayo, Ngubani oya kuyenza (1 KwabaseTesalonika 5:23-24)
Kungoko sithandaza sihlala sikuwe, Ukuze uThixo wethu akwazi ukukubala ukuba ubizo, kwaye ufeze yonke into entle yokulunga kwakhe, nomsebenzi wokholo onamandla: Ukuze igama leNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu lizukisiwe ngenxa yakho, Nina kuye, Ngokobabalo loThixo wethu kunye neNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu (2 KwabaseTesalonika 1:11-12)
Ndiyabulela kuThixo, Ngubani endikhonza kookhokho bam ngesazela esinyulu, Oko ngaphandle kokuyeka ndikukhumbule emithandazweni yam ubusuku nemini (2 uTimoti 1:3)
Ndiyabulela kuThixo wam, Ukwenza ukukhankanywa kwakho uhlala kwimithandazo yam, Ukuva uthando lwakho kunye nokholo, Oko ukufunayo kwiNkosi uYesu, kwaye kubo bonke abangcwele; Ukuba ukunxibelelana kokholo lwakho kunokuba nomsebenzi wokwamkelwa kwayo kuyo yonke into elungileyo ekuni kuKristu Yesu (Philemon 1:4-6)
Vula iimpazamo zakho enye kwenye, kwaye uthandaze omnye komnye, Ukuze uphiliswe. Umthandazo onyanisekileyo wokuzonwabisa wendoda elilungisa ikhulisa kakhulu (UJames 5:16)
Zintanda, Ndiyanwena (thandaza) Ngaphezulu kweento zonke onokuthi uphumelele kwaye ube sempilweni, Njengomphefumlo wakho uphumelela (3 UYohane 1:2)
Ukuthandazela iinkokeli zeCawa
Kwiileta zikaPaul, Asifundanga nje ukuba wayebathandazela amakholwa akhe, Kodwa sifunda ukuba uPawulos wabuza amanye amakholwa ukuba amkhumbule aze amthandazele kwaye abo, ababenaye. UPawulos wacela ukuthandaza, ukuze babe bashumayele ilizwi kwinkalipho, ukuba uThixo uza kuvula ucango lwentetho, Ukuthetha imfihlakalo kaKristu, ukuze ilizwi leNkosi libenalo ikhosi kwaye lizukiswe, ukuba baya kuziswa ngokwamadoda angenangqondo nabangendawo; kuba ayingabo bonke abantu abanokholo, ukuba uza kusiwa kwabo bangakholwanga kwelakwaYuda, kwaye inkonzo yakhe yeYerusalem iya kwamkelwa kwabaNgcwele, kwaye ukuba babebuyela kwabangcwele kwaye bomeleze kwayeqinisa oko bekusilela kukholo lwabo,
Ngoku ndiyakucela, bazalwana, KwiNkosi uYesu Krestu ngenxa yeNkosi yethu, kunye nothando lomoya, ukuba nizabalazele kunye nam kwimithandazo yakho kuThixo ngam; Ukuze ndihlangulwe kwabo bangakholelwa kwilakwaYuda; kwaye inkonzo yam endinayo yeYerusalem ingamkelwa ngabaNgcwele; Ukuze ndize kuwe ngovuyo lukaThixo, kwaye ngoMeyi ohlaziyiweyo. (AmaRoma 15:30-32)
Ngubani osinikele ekufeni kakhulu, kwaye ndihlangula: Esithembele kuye ukuba usaya kusihlangula; Nawe uyawanceda ngokuthandazela, ukuba isipho esisinikele kuthi ngeendlela zabantu abaninzi enkosi banokunikwa ngabaninzi egameni lethu (2 KwabaseKorinte 1:10-11)
Qhubeka ngomthandazo, kwaye ubukele ngokufanayo nombulelo; I-Withal Tharch nayo, ukuba uThixo uza kusivulela ucango lwentetho, Ukuthetha imfihlakalo kaKristu, Ndikwiibhombu: Ukuze ndikwenze ibonakalise, Njengoko ndifanele ukuthetha (KwabaseKolose 4:2-4)
Abazalwana, Thandaza(1 KwabaseTesalonika 5:25)
Ekugqibeleni, bazalwana, Thandaza, ukuze ilizwi leNkosi libe nekhosi yasimahla, kwaye uzukiswe, Nokuba kunjalo kuwe: Kwaye ukuze sihlangulwe kubantu abangenangqondo nabangendawo: kuba bonke abantu abanalukholo (2 KwabaseTesalonika 3:1-2)
Ndinethemba lokukholosa ngokundithobela kwakho, ndisazi ukuba uya kwenza nangaphezulu koko nditshoyo. Kodwa ndilungiselele nendawo yokuhlala: Kuba ndiyathemba ukuba ngayo imithandazo yenu, ndiya kunikwa (Philemon 1:21-22)

UPaul nabanye abapostile babengekho sine, Kodwa babeyinxalenye yeCawe kaYesu Krestu. Babesazi ukuba, kunye namanye amakholwa alicawe kulo mhlaba. Babemanyene emoyeni, ngoMoya. Nokushumayela kwaye ukugcina ivangeli nenyaniso kaYesu Krestu kunye namandla omnqamlezo, icocekile, kwaye ukhusele icawe ubuxoki iimfundiso nootitshala, ngubani owazama ukungena kwaye achaphazele icawe, Kuyafuneka umthandazo. Ngomthandazo, Babukele bahlala bevukile emoyeni (Funda kwakhona: Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu ngamasango esihogo abayi koyisa kwicawa yam?).
Icawa yathandazela uPetros
Xa uKumkani uHerode wasolula izandla zakhe kwi-vex ethile yecawe, wambulala uJames, Kwaye yabona ukuba iyakholiswa ngamaYuda, UKumkani uHerode wamthabatha noPetros wamisa uPetros entolongweni. Ngenxa yenyani, ukuba yayingumthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele, Wayezimisele ukukhupha uPetros ebantwini emva kwe-Ista. Ngelixa uPetros wayesentolongweni, Icawa yayithandaza ngaphandle kokuyeka uThixo ngoPetros.
Kwindlu kaMariya, Umama kaJohn, Inqaku lakhe lalinguMark, Uninzi lwamakholwa lwaluqokelelwa kunye kwaye lwathandaza. Ngelixa babethandaza, Unkqonkqoza uPetros emnyango wesango. Xa intonga yentombazana yabona enkqonkqoza kwaye ivile ilizwi likaPeter, Akayivunga isango lokuvuya, Kodwa wabaleka kwaye waxelela abanye indlela uPetros wayemi ngayo phambi kwesango. Batsho kwintombazana ukuba wayehlanya, Kodwa xa wayesoloko eqinisekisa ukuba kunjalo, Babesithi yingelosi yakhe. Kodwa uPetros waqhubeka enkqonkqoza kwaye xa bevula umnyango wambona, bakhwankqisiwe. UPetros wabona, wayixela indlela awamkhupha ngayo iNkosi entolongweni (IZenzo 12: 1-19).
Ngomthandazo webandla ngoPetros, INkosi yayithumele ingelosi eya entolongweni, yamkhupha entolongweni. Ukuba amakholwa akhe kunye noodade babengenalo, ndixakeke kakhulu, kwaye bengathandazi, Mhlawumbi uPetros wayeya kubulawa, Kanye njengoJames. Kungenxa yoko le nto iCawe kaYesu Kristu kufuneka ithandaze kwaye iqhubeke uthandaza kwaye ungabi nakuphathelele emthandazweni.
Ukuba amaKristu ayakuqonda ukubaluleka komthandazo kwaye akholelwe kwi Amandla omthandazo, Izinto ezinkulu ziyakwenzeka. Kodwa ukuba uthandaza ngaphandle komkhwa okanye uhlobo oluthile lonqulo, Ngaphandle kokukholelwa ukuba into othandazayo iya kwenzeka, ke akukho nto ininzi iya kwenzeka. Kuba ukuthandaza ngaphandle kokholo akuyi kwenza nantoni na.
Oku kukwasebenza nakwimithandazo ye-carnal, ezikhokelwa yintando yomntu. Abayi kuba nako konke. Kodwa xa uthandaza emva koMoya, kwaye ukhokelwe nguye kwaye uthandaze emva kwentando yakhe aze athethe amazwi akhe, Iya kuba ininzi kakhulu. Kuba uThixo uya kuxhobisa amazwi akho, ezingokwentando yakhe.
Akukho mgama kwindawo yokomoya
Xa uthandazela amanye amakholwa, Kubalulekile ukwazi, ukuba akukho mgama kwindawo yokomoya. UMtyholi ufuna ukuba ukholelwe, ukuba awukwazi ukwenza lukhulu kumgama kwaye ayisebenzi ukuze uthandaze. Kodwa uMtyholi uyakuxelela lonto, kuba ufuna ukukwenza ungasebenzi, ngakumbi xa kufikwa emthandazweni. Inyaniso yile, ukuba akukho mgama kwindawo yokomoya.
Umntu, othandaza kwintliziyo eguqukayo neze asindayo kuThixo kwaye ethandaza amazwi akhe, iya kuba ininzi. Kubalulekile ukwazi oku kwaye ukukholelwa oku, Ukuze uthandaze ngokholo.
Makungabikho mntu unokukholelwa ukuba ukuthandaza kumgama ongenzi ngqondo kwaye awukwazi ukwenza nantoni na. Ngoku, uyazi, ukuba xa umntu etsho le nto, Uyazi ukuba la magama avela phi.
Ukuba ukuthandaza kumgama akunamsebenzi, akwenzi ngqondo, kwaye ayisebenzi nto, Ke kutheni uPawulos wacela ibandla ukuba limthandazele kwaye le, ababenaye? Ngomthandazo nangokuthandaza ngoMoya, UPawulos waqhagamshelwa kwiCawa.
Kwileta kaPawulos eya kwiCawa yaseKorinte, Sifunda oko xa icawa yaqokelelwa, UMoya kaPaul wayekho (1 KwabaseKorinte 5:4). Ngoko ke, Uyabona ukuba akukho mgama kwindawo yokomoya.
Ibalulekile, ukuba awugxininisi kuphela amakholwa akho kwindawo yakho, ibandla, kunye nelizwe, Kodwa ukuze uthandaze kubazalwana noodadewenu bamazwe aphezulu. Ngakumbi, Ngoku ekubeni uyazi ukuba umgama udlala inxenye xa uthandaza.
Thandazela abo, Ngubani ohlala kumazwe apho amaKristu atshutshiswa ngenxa yokholo lwawo kuKristu.
Sukuba wumbi, kodwa yiba uhlale usebenza emoyeni. Hlala uphaphile kwaye ubukele kwaye unganikezeli! Zingise kwaye uqhubeke uthandazela amanye amakholwa, Ukuze bagcinwe kwinkohliso nakwizilingo zikaMtyholi, kwaye bangaphambuki kwigama, kodwa unyamezele kwaye uhlale umi eLizwini.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
