EJoel 2:28, UThixo wathembisa ukuba uya kuthulula umoya wakhe phezu kwayo yonke inyama. Baninzi abantu, Abakholelwa kwiimfundiso zabantu ukuba isithembiso eseYoweli malunga nokuthululwa komoya kaThixo sisenzekile kwaye siyakulindela le mihla yokugqibela iphakama umoya. Kodwa ngaba le yibhayibhile? Ngaba iya kubakho enye into ekuthululwa komoya kaThixo emhlabeni? Okanye ngamagama avela kumprofeti uJoel esele egqibile kwaye wabhala uYoweli malunga nemeko yokuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele ngomhla wePentekosti?
"Kwaye kuya kwenzeka emva koko, Ndiza kuthulula uMoya wam,
Kwaye kuya kwenzeka emva koko, Ndithulule umoya wam phezu kwayo yonke inyama; oonyana benu neentombi zenu baprofete, amadoda enu amakhulu aya kuphupha amaphupha, amadodana enu aya kubona imibono: Kwanaphezu kwabakhonzi naphezu kwabakhonzazana ndothulula uMoya wam ngaloo mihla. ndenze izimanga emazulwini nasehlabathini;, igazi, kunye nomlilo, neentsika zomsi. Ilanga liya kuguqulwa ibe bubumnyama, nenyanga ibe ligazi, Ngaphambi kokuba imini enkulu yeNkosi ifike. Kwaye kuya kwenzeka, ukuze bonke abasukuba belinqula igama leNkosi basindiswe: Kuba entabeni yeZiyon, naseJerusalem kuya kuba kukhululwa, Njengoko uYehova watshoyo, Kulo masalela aya kubiza uYehova, (Yoweli 2:28-32)
Kodwa ke yiva, Owu Yakobi mkhonzi wam; noSirayeli, endimnyulileyo: Utsho uYehova ukuthi:, kwaye ndikuyekele esukelweni, yeyiphi eya kukunceda; Musa ukoyika, Owu Yakobi, Isicaka sam; wena, UJessurun, endimnyulileyo. Kuba ndiya kugalela amanzi phezu kwakhe onxaniweyo, kunye nezikhukula kumhlaba owomileyo: Ndiya kuthulula uMoya wam phezu kwembewu yakho, Kwaye intsikelelo yam kwinzala yakho (uIsaya 44:1-3)
Umprofeti uYoweli wayengenguye kuphela, owayeprofeta malunga nokuthululwa komoya kaThixo. Uninzi lwabanye, phakathi kwawo umprofeti u-Isaya, Umprofeti uHezekile kwaye wayengoYesu Kristu, Ukuprofeta malunga nokuthululwa komoya kaThixo uAka Ukuza koMoya oyiNgcwele (Owu. UHezekile 11:19-20; 36:26-27; 37:1-14, UYohane 14:16-26; 15:26-27; 16:7-16; IZenzo 1:8).
Kodwa nangona uThixo wathembisa ukuba uya kuthulula uMoya wakhe kuyo yonke inyama, Ukuthululwa komoya kaThixo awenzeki ngoko nangoko.
Ayaziwa xa incwadi kaMprofeti kaJoel ibhaliwe. Imihla eyahlukeneyo yabafundi iyahluka 835-200 Bc *. Ngoko ke, Asinakho ukugqiba ngokuthe ngqo ukuba ingakanani iminyaka ngaphambi kokuba isithembiso sikaThixo sizalisekisiwe. Kodwa sinokuchonga ukuba ithathe iminyaka elikhulu, Ngaphambi kokuba isithembiso sikaThixo malunga nokuthululwa komoya wakhe sizalisekisiwe, Njengesithembiso sikaThixo malunga nokuza kukaMesiya (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ukulindela idinga likaMesiya‘)
Kwaye ke abantu bakaThixo babehlala kulondolozo lwesithembiso sikaThixo malunga nokuthululwa komoya kaThixo kuyo yonke inyama. Abantu babengazi ukuba kuya kwenzeka nini, Kodwa ukuba kuya kwenzeka ngenyaniso kwaye uqinisekile.
Ukuthululwa koMoya kaThixo ngomhla wePentekosti
Kwaye xa imini yePentekosti yayiza ngokupheleleyo, baye bonke bemxhelo mnye ndaweni-nye. Kwaza ngequbuliso kwaphuma ezulwini isandi somoya ovuthuza ngamandla, wayizalisa yonke indlu ababehleli kuyo. Kwabonakala kubo iilwimi ezabekayo, ngathi zezomlilo, lwahlala phezu kwabo bonke ngabanye. Kwaye bonke bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, baqala ukuthetha ngalwimi zimbi, njengoko umoya wabanika amazwi.
Wayehlala eYerusalem amaYuda, amadoda azinikeleyo, kuzo zonke iintlanga eziphantsi kwezulu. Ngoku xa kungxolwa le nto ngaphandle, yabuthelana inkitha, kwaye baphoxeka, ekubeni elowo ubebeva bethetha ngezakomawabo iintetho. Bathi nqa ke bonke, bamangaliswa, besitsho omnye komnye, Khangela, Aba bathethayo asingamaGalili bonke;? Thina ke siva njani ke, wonke umntu ethetha ngezakomawethu iintetho, esazalelwa kuyo? AmaPati, namaMedi, namaElam, nabemi baseMesopotami, nakwelakwaYuda, kunye neKapadokiya, ePonto, kunye neAsia, eFrigiya, kunye nePamfiliya, eYiputa, nakwimimandla yeLibhiya malunga neKirene, nabasemzini baseRoma, amaYuda namaguquka, AmaKrete namaArabhi, siyabeva bethetha ngeelwimi zethu imisebenzi emangalisayo kaThixo. Bathi nqa ke bonke, kwaye babethandabuza, besitsho omnye komnye, Ithetha ukuthini lento? Abanye baphoxisa bathi, La madoda azele yiwayini entsha.
Kodwa uPeter, ndiphakame ndinamashumi alishumi elinanye, ukuphakamisa ilizwi lakhe, wathi kubo, Nina bantu bakwaYuda, Kwaye bonke abahlala eYerusalem, mawaziwe kuwe, kwaye ndiphulaphule amazwi am: Kuba ezi zingenalo, njengoko uthanda, ukuyibona ililo kodwa iyure yesithathu yemini. Kodwa le yile nto yathethwa nguMprofeti uYoweli; Kwaye iya kuza kwiintsuku zokugqibela, Utsho uThixo, Ndiya kuthulula kumoya wam phezu kwayo yonke inyama: oonyana benu neentombi zenu baprofete, Kwaye abafana bakho baya kubona imibono, kwaye amadoda akho amadala aya kuphupha amaphupha: Kwaye kubakhonzi bam, kunye nabasebenzi bam, ndiya kuthulula ngaloo mihla yoMoya wam; Kwaye baya kuprofeta: Kwaye ndiza kuyibonisa imimangaliso ezulwini ngaphezulu, imiqondiso emhlabeni phantsi; igazi, kunye nomlilo, kunye ne-vapor yomsi: Ilanga liya kuguqulwa ibe bubumnyama, nenyanga ibe ligazi, Ngaphambi kokuba loo mihla inkulu kwaye ingabonakaliyo yeNkosi yeza: Kwaye kuya kwenzeka, Ukuze wonke umntu anqule igama likaYehova uya kusindiswa (IZenzo 2:1-21)
Inzuzo yeNkosi, obeza abanye, Ngoobani abatyunjwe nguThixo kumnqophiso omkhulu kwaye babethembekile kuThixo kwaye bathetha ngegama lakhe, Ngoku wathululwa kwinyama yonke; Kwabo bakholwayo kuKristu, baguquka, baza balandela uYesu Kristu, bamthobela. UMoya oyiNgcwele, omnye umthuthuzeli, bendifikile emhlabeni, ndenza ukuhlala kwakhe emntwini.
I 120 Abafundi bakaYesu babengabobokuqala, owamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye azaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Emva koko 3000 abantu, ababephuma kwindlu kaSirayeli, beva ubungqina bukaPetros ngoYesu Krestu, UMesiya wakholelwa amazwi kaPetros kwaye waguquka waza wabhaptizwa, wamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele.
Isithembiso sikaThixo kunye nokufika koMoya oyiNgcwele kwakungeyonto yembewu kaYakobi; Sirayeli , Kodwa nakwiintlanga, Bona ngokholo kuKristu babeza kuguquka babhaptizwe. Kuba uThixo akalontobelo yabantu, Kodwa kwiintlanga zonke, Umntu omoyikayo aze enze ubulungisa wamkelekile naye.
Ke zona iiNtlanga zokuqala, UKorneli nosapho lwakhe kunye nabahlobo bakhe abasenyongweni abafunyenwe ngokholo kuMoya oyiNgcwele emva kokuva amazwi kaPetros nobungqina bakhe ngoYesu Krestu kwaye baba yindalo entsha (IZenzo 10, AmaRoma 10:11-12).
Ukuzalisekiswa kwesithembiso sokuthululwa komoya kaThixo ngomprofeti uYoweli
UPeter uqinisekisile, Le nto yenzekile ngomhla wePentekosti, yayikukuprofeta nguMprofeti uYoweli. Kwaye ke amazwi kaThixo, ebezithethile ngomlomo woMprofeti uYoweli azalisekisiwe.
Imihla yokugqibela
uThixo, Ngubani na ophathwayo kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo ezithetha ngexesha elidlulileyo kootata ngabaprofeti, Ngaba kule mihla yokugqibela uthethile kuthi ngonyana wakhe, athe abethelela ubushishingo,, Ayenzile loo nto umhlaba (IsiHebhere 1:1-2)
UPeter akaqinisekisi kuphela amazwi akhe okuphuphilwa nguYoweli malunga nokuthululwa komoya kaThixo, Kodwa uPetros waqinisekisa ukuba bahlala kwiintsuku zokugqibela.
UPaul, Ngubani oyena mntu ungumbhali wencwadi yesiHebhere, Kwakhona wabhala ukuba bahlala kwiintsuku zokugqibela.
Bahlala kule mihla yokugqibela kwaye sihlala kwiintsuku zokugqibela. Kwaye yonke into uYesu aprofete ngayo ngomqondiso wokuza kwakhe nasekupheleni kweHlabathi, iya kuqhubeka ekupheleni kweentsuku zokugqibela (Funda kwakhona: ‘Izinto ezintathu ezisebhayibhileni‘).
Ngaba kuya kubakho enye into ekuthululwa komoya kaThixo ngemihla yokugqibela?
Amagama kaJoweli malunga nokuthululwa komoya kaThixo afezekiswe ngomhla wePentekosti. NgoMhla wePentekoste, Umoya oyingcwele weza kanye emhlabeni wahlala engoonyana bakaThixo (kokubini amadoda nabafazi), Ngoobani AkaThixo Namthobele NguYesu Krestu.
Akuyi kubakho nakuphi na ukugqithisela komoya kaThixo emhlabeni, Nangona zininzi iimfundiso zobuxoki, Oko kuthetha ukuba amagama kaJoweli akazaliseki kodwa alinde ukunqamla koMoya oyiNgcwele kuyo yonke inyama, leyo, Ngokwabo kufuneka kubekho ibonakaliso eyoyikekayo kunye nembuyekezo enamandla. Bajonge phambili kwinto esele yenzekile.
Kodwa oko kungenxa yokuba ulindelo lwabo aluhambelani neLizwi likaThixo.
Ngamagama kunye neemfundiso zabantu, benze umfanekiso wokuthululwa komoya kaThixo ongayihambelani nenyani. Ke balinde into engasokuze ifike.
Njengabantu abaninzi abangamaYuda, Ngoobani iRales, Ndisalinde isithembiso sikaThixo malunga nokuza kukaMesiya kwaye sijonge phambili kuye, Ngelixa zonke iziprofeto malunga nokuza kukaMesiya sele zizalisekile kwaye noNyana kaThixo Yesu Yesu, UMesiya, sele ifikile.
Wayesehlabathini, kwaye umhlaba wenziwa nguye, kwaye umhlaba umazi kuye. Weza kweyakhe, Kwaye owakhe wamkela kuye (UYohane 1:19-20)
Kodwa abaninzi abayamkeli kwaye bamkele ukuba nguMesiya wabo, Ngoba? Kuba baboniwe kwaye bengamazi ngokwenene uThixo kunye nezibhalo kunye neZibhalo kunye nokulindela kukaMesiya kwahlukile kwinyani kwaye nguye (A.O. U-Isaya 29:9-12, UYohane 5:37-47; 12:37-41, AmaRoma 11:7-10).
