Yintoni intsingiselo yeMizekeliso 10:10 eBhayibhileni, Otyanda ngoshiyi ubanga umvandedwa: Ke yena ophololozayo uya kukhubeka?
Kuthetha ukuthini ukuqhwanyaza ngeliso?
Otyanda ngoshiyi ubanga umvandedwa: Ke yena ophololozayo uya kukhubeka (IMizekeliso 10:10)
To wink with the eye in Proverbs 10:10, can mean several things. It can mean that someone is malicious and has evil intentions, someone designs mischief against others or triumphs over others. But it can also mean that someone closes his eyes, pretending that they don’t see what happens. They pretend that everything is all right and at peace, while it’s not.
Closing your eyes to things, that are not right
Many people close their eyes to things that take place, which are not all right. They see what’s happening, but they pretend they don’t see it to keep the so-called peace and harmony.
Many churches have copied this behavior. They see the sins in the lives of Christians, kodwa bona refuse to correct them.
Kunoko, they pretend they don’t see it. They accept the sins and cover sins under the so-called cloak of love.
It happens quite often that when a leader of a church (umshumayeli, umdala, umvangeli, umprofeti, umpostile, njl.) walks habitually in sin or commits a sin like fornication, ukukrexeza, ukurhwaphiliza imali, njl., they try to keep it silent.
They try to keep it silent, so that it won’t damage the name and the reputation of the church.
Many churches are more worried about themselves than the Kingdom of God. Bacinga, that by acting this way and by keeping it silent, they will keep the peace and harmony in the church. But that is a lie from the pit of hell.
If a church winks with the eye and shuts its eyes for the sins that are committed, it shall eventually cause a lot of trouble (usizi).
What happens when the church winks with the eye?
Kuba oko beningabakhonzi besono, you were free from righteousness. What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? Ukuphela kwezinto kukufa (AmaRoma 6:20-21)
First of all for the person, abo bonayo. If the person is not corrected and continues to walk in sin, the person lives under condemnation and shall receive the wages of sin, oko kukufa
Secondly for the church. Because the congregation will be a partaker of his sin and will be held accountable, which causes sorrow (trouble).
KwabaseGalati 2:11-14, we read that Paul confronted Peter openly with his hypocritical behavior. Paul didn’t wink with the eye. He didn’t shut his eyes to the situation and let Peter have his way. Hayi!
Paul confronted Peter in front of everyone. Ekugqibeleni, Paul’s correction produced clarity and peace, instead of sorrow (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba unokucokisela isono sabanye amakholwa?).
Why shall a prating fool fall?
And in the greatness of Thine excellency Thou hast overthrown them that rose up against Thee: TUbukhuphele ubushushu bakho, yabadla njengeendiza (iEksodus 15:7)
Isidenge esiphololozayo siya kuwa, ngenxa yamazwi akhe obudenge. Isidenge sithetha amazwi, ezibonakala zilumkile ngokwehlabathi, kodwa zibubudenge kuThixo.
Umntu osisidenge akaliphulaphuli iLizwi likaThixo kodwa uyamchasa uThixo neLizwi Lakhe. Isidenge esithetha izinto ezimbi siyamvukela, sisukele phezulu kuye. Ucinga ukuba uhlakaniphile, kodwa ekugqibeleni, uya konakaliswa. Aya kumkhubekisa amazwi akhe.
‘Yiba yityuwa yomhlaba’
