Kwihlabathi elingendawo, amazwi kaThixo awasoloko exatyiswa. Ngoba? Kuba amazwi kaThixo akabuxhasi ubungendawo nemisebenzi engendawo kodwa abizela enguqukweni kwaye abantu abayifuni loo nto. Bangaphi abathunywa uThixo awabathumelayo benomyalezo wenguquko owabalahlekela ubomi babo? Abathunywa abaninzi, kokubini kuMnqophiso oMdala noMtsha, bahlawula ixabiso lobomi babo ngenxa yesigidimi sabo. Yaye abantu basahlawula ixabiso lesigidimi sikaThixo. Ububi bukhulu ehlabathini, ebonakalayo kwindalo, ubomi babantu, nokwanda kwentshutshiso yamaKristu, abashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo eziyinyaniso zikaKristu kwaye babizela abantu enguqukweni. Ihlabathi lifuna ukubathulisa abathunywa, abangenelela kubomi babanye abantu. Kodwa unako ukumthulisa umthunywa, kodwa loo nto ayiwutshintshi umyalezo.
Abaprofeti, ababethetha amazwi kaThixo, bathuliswa
Abaprofeti beTestamente eNdala bacatshulwe ngamaxesha amaninzi ebandleni, ngenxa yamazwi, iziprofeto, nombono bawufumana kuThixo. Kodwa into abadla ngokungakuxeleli yona, koko ukuthetha kwamazwi kaThixo kubalahlekisele.
Abaprofeti babengenabo ubomi obulula kwaye babengasoloko befumana impumelelo, kodwa ukuxhathisa, imiqobo, Intshutshiso, kunye nokuthinjwa. Nangona kunjalo, abaprofeti babenento enye ababefana ngayo, yayiluthando nokoyika uThixo.
Ngaphandle kothando nokoyika uThixo, babengenakuba nenkalipho ngolo hlobo baze banikele ngobomi babo ngenxa yesona sigidimi simangalisayo nesixabisekileyo phezu kobuso balo mhlaba., oko kukuthi, isigidimi soPhezukonke.
Isigidimi senyaniso, ebhenca ubuxoki bobumnyama, ujongene nabantu ngezenzo zabo ezibi, ubabizela enguqukweni, aze azibuyisele kuThixo, Osenyangweni, UMdali izulu nomhlaba kwaye konke okuphakathi.
Babedla ngokuba ngamalolo, owavela phakathi kwabantu abanemvukelo waza washumayela isigidimi esichasene nentando yabantu. Isigidimi esasingasoloko sikhuthaza yaye simnandi ukusiva yaye sithandwa ngabantu
Kungenxa yokuba eso sigidimi sasingemnandi ukusiva nokuthandwa ngabantu, aba baprofeti bakhaliphileyo (umthunywa) babedla ngokuvalelwa entolongweni okanye babulawe.
Kodwa ukubathulisa abathunywa akuzange kuwutshintshe umyalezo. Ayizange itshintshe nto ngoThixo namazwi akhe, Intando yakhe, imfuneko yenguquko, isigwebo, kunye nesiphelo sanaphakade sabantu.
UThixo walumkisa abantu bakhe ngothando
UThixo walumkisa abantu bakhe ngothando. Nangona kunjalo, Uthando lwakhe lwalungasoloko lusenziwa. Kungenxa yokuba amazwi kunye nezilumkiso zikaThixo zabiza utshintsho lwendlela yokuphila kwaye abantu babengayifuni loo nto.
Babengamthandi uThixo, kodwa babezithanda kwaye befuna ukuzalisekisa iinkanuko neminqweno yenyama yabo.
Ukuze bakwazi ukuzalisekisa iminqweno kunye neminqweno yenyama yabo, iinkokeli zabantu zawaguqula amazwi kaThixo ngokwengqiqo yazo, intando, neminqweno nokwenza okubi okulungileyo nokulungileyo kubi.
Kwaye ukuba umthunywa weza waza wangenelela ebomini babo, kwaye waphazamisana nawo (ububi) isebenza, wathetha ngokuchasene nabo, bazithulisa ngokumkhupha umntu.
Umprofeti uMikaya akazange ashumayele okulungileyo ngaphandle kobubi kuphela
Ngokomzekelo, cinga ngoMikaya, unyana kaJimla, ngubani uKumkani uAhabhi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, bathiyiwe. Ngoba? Kuba uMikaya akazange aprofete okulungileyo ngokuphathelele uKumkani uAhabhi, kodwa ububi. Kodwa nangona imbono kaKumkani uAhabhi malunga namazwi kaMikaya, azaliseka amazwi kaMikaya.
Abantu banokuba nazo zonke iintlobo zezimvo kwaye bazingqonge ngo-ewe-amadoda, abathetha amazwi akhayo kuphela kwaye bathethe oko abantu bafuna ukukuva. Kusenjalo, amaxesha amaninzi aba bantu bathetha okuphuma kubo. Bathetha ngamampunge eengqondo zabo, nangenzuzo yabo, endaweni kaThixo noMoya wakhe. Ngenxa yoko, bathetha ubuxoki babantu endaweni yenyaniso kaThixo. (Funda kwakhona: Ubaqonda njani abaprofeti bobuxoki kwixesha lethu?).
UKumkani uAhabhi noYoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, babezirhangqe nge 400 ewe-amadoda, owayemi kwinkonzo ka-Ahabhi kwaye bonke baprofeta okulungileyo.
Kwakukho indoda enye kuphela, owaprofeta okwahlukileyo koko, njengoko uKumkani uAhabhi wayelindele, kwaye lowo yayingumprofeti uMikaya, owayemi kwinkonzo kaThixo.
UMikaya akazange aprofete ububi kuphela ngesiphelo sikakumkani, kambe ke uMikaya wathi uNdikhoyo 400 abaprofeti baprofeta ngomoya wobuxoki.
UYehova wawukhupha lo moya, waba ngumoya wobuxoki emlonyeni wabaprofeti baka-Ahabhi.
UMikaya wayengathandwa ngukumkani. Kodwa ngenxa yamazwi akhe, UMikaya naye wayengathandwa ngabo bonke aba 400 abaprofeti.
Amazwi kaMikaya akazange abangele umanyano kodwa umsindo phakathi kwabaprofeti. Njengomvuzo wamazwi akhe, UMikaya wafumana inqindi esidleleni.
Ukuthembeka kukaMikaya kuThixo kwakhokelela entolongweni
UMikaya wayethembekile kuThixo. Akazange aphenjelelwe ngumthunywa wokumkani, ababezama ukumcenga ukuba athethe amazwi amahle, njengamazwi kaNdikhoyo 400 abaprofeti, owamxelela okulungileyo ukumkani. UMikaya wamxelela, ukuba ihleli nje iNkosi, wayeya kuthetha kuphela oko uYehova wayemxelele kona.
NoMikaya akazange oyikiswe ngulo kumkani. NoMikaya akazange oyikiswe zezo zinto 400 abaprofeti, ababevakalisa ukuba babengabaprofeti beNkosi.
Ngenxa yokuthembeka kwakhe kumazwi eNkosi uYehova, UMikaya akazange abethwe nje kuphela kodwa wavalelwa entolongweni. Ngoxa enye 400 abaprofeti, owaprofeta ubuxoki wagoduka (1 Ookumkani 22, 2 YeziKronike 18)
UMikaya wayengumprofeti. Kodwa kwakukho nabanye, kuquka nababingeleli, abancama inkululeko yabo yaye maxa wambi bade bahlawule ngobomi babo ngenxa yenkonzo yabo eNkosini.
Isigidimi esinzima somthunywa uZakariya, umbingeleli, waphulukana nobomi bakhe
Umbingeleli uZekariya, umzekelo, unyana kaYehoyada, umbingeleli, wazaliswa nguMoya kaThixo. Washumayela isigidimi esinzima, oko kukuthi inyaniso kaThixo, owabiza abathetheli bakwaYuda, ikumkani, owabaphulaphulayo, kunye nabantu, enguqukweni.
Ukumkani wayesoloko emphulaphula uyise kaZekariya umbingeleli uYehoyada. Kodwa emva kokufa kukaYehoyada, Ukumkani wabaphulaphula abathetheli bakwaYuda. Nangona kunjalo, abathetheli bakwaYuda benza ububi emehlweni kaYehova. Babeyishiyile indlu kaYehova uThixo wooyise, bakhonza ooAshera nemifanekiso. Wafikelwa buburhalarhume amaYuda neYerusalem ngenxa yobumenemene bawo.
UThixo wathumela abaprofeti kubo ukuba bababuyisele kwakhona eNkosini. Bangqina ngabo, kodwa abaphulaphulanga kubo, baqhubeka nemisebenzi yabo engendawo.
Xa uMoya kaThixo wamfikela uZekariya, Wathi ebantwini, kwakutheni ukuze bayityeshele imiyalelo kaYehova ukuze bangabi nampumelelo. Ngokuba babemshiyile uYehova, naye uYehova ebebashiyile.
Kodwa endaweni yokuguquka, bavutha ngumsindo abantu.
Bamenzela iyelenqe, bamxuluba ngamatye uZekariya ngokomyalelo kakumkani entendelezweni yendlu kaYehova..
Ukumkani uYowashe akabukhumbulanga ububele bukayise kuye, wesuka wambulala unyana wakhe (2 YeziKronike 24).
UZakariya wathetha amazwi eNkosi ngamandla oMoya waza waxulutywa ngamatye njengomvuzo.
Abaprofeti bakaThixo abaninzi bavalelwa entolongweni kunye/okanye babulawa
Abathunywa abaninzi, abo babenyulwe nabathunywe nguThixo bathi cwaka ngenxa yelizwi labo. Abathunywa abafana noIsaya, UYeremiya, uZekariya, kwaye UYohane umBhaptizi babethwe, afakwe entolongweni, kunye/okanye babulawe, ngenxa yothando lwabo, ukuthembeka, nokoyika iNkosi uYehova, bafa njengabafeli-nkolo beNkosi (Owu. UYeremiya 20:2, UMateyu 14:1-12; 21:33-46, ULuka 11:51, Hebhere 11:33-40).
Nangona kunjalo, ukufa kwabo akuzange kutshintshe nto ngenyaniso namazwi kaThixo. UThixo waqhubeka ethumela abathunywa ebomeleza ngelizwi lakhe nangoMoya wakhe.
UThixo wathumela uNyana wakhe uYesu, owadibana nekamva elifanayo
NoYesu Kristu uNyana kaThixo wehlelwa yinto efanayo. Emva kokuba uYesu ebhaptiziwe emanzini waza wamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye wahendwa nguMtyholi entlango 40 iintsuku zamchasa uMtyholi, UYesu wahamba ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. UYesu washumayela ngenkalipho uBukumkani bamaZulu waza wabiza abantu ukuba baguquke.
Kwaye njengokuba abathunywa kwiTestamente eNdala bathuliswa ngenxa yesigidimi sabo, kananjalo bazama ukumvala umlomo uYesu. Ngokuba uYesu wathetha amazwi kaYise kwaye wangqina ngemisebenzi yabo engendawo (Owu. UYohane 5:30; 7:7; 8:38).
Nangona abaninzi, Ngubani ophethe indlu kaSirayeli, Waluphulaphula ubizo lwakhe lwenguquko, kananjalo bebaninzi, kuquka iinkokeli zabantu bakaThixo, ababengawakholelwa amazwi akhe kwaye bengaluthobelanga ubizo lwakhe lwenguquko.
Kubo uYesu wayengenguye uMesiya kodwa wayengumngeneleli, ababema endleleni yabo, yaye benzakalisa igama labo esidlangalaleni ngokubhenca ubuxoki babo, izinto ezifihlakeleyo zentliziyo yabo, nemisebenzi yabo engendawo. (Funda kwakhona: UYesu phakathi kweenkokheli ezingaboniyo).
Kodwa uYesu akazange awalungise amazwi nesigidimi Sakhe kwiminqweno yabantu noko abantu babefuna ukukuva. Wahlala ethembekile kuYise kwaye waqhubeka eshumayela amazwi kaYise, njengabaprofeti bakaThixo.
UYesu wathatyathwa, isibetho, wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni
UYesu weza emhlabeni, kodwa ebengengowasehlabathini (ubumnyama), bubukumkani bamazulu. Ngoko ke, UYesu akazange athethe amazwi ehlabathi kodwa amazwi kaThixo. UYesu wayesazi ukuba amazwi akhe aya kukhokelela phi. Kodwa uthando ngoYise nokumoyika kwakhe kwamqhubela uYesu ukuba aphumeze oko wayekuzele.
Abantu bacinga ukuba ngokusithulisa esi sithunywa sikaThixo, ngokuthi amthimbe, ambethelele emnqamlezweni, baye bawulahla umyalezo. Oku kungqineke, ukuba nangona babezenza ngathi bamiselwe nguThixo, babengamazi uThixo. Babengawaqhelanga amazwi akhe noBukumkani bakhe.
Ingqondo yabo yaba mnyama kwaye bahlala ebumnyameni. Abantu babengawakholelwa amazwi kaYesu, ababengayazi into eya kwenzeka kolu Khozo lwengqolowa, xa yayiwela emhlabeni ize ife (UYohane 12:24).
Babengazibalanga iziqhamo zoKhozo lwengqolowa
Babecinga ukuba bamlahlile uYesu kunye nesigidimi saKhe esinzima kwaye banokuqhubeka nobomi babo obudala ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka. Kodwa babengabalanga kwisiqhamo soKhozo lwengqolowa.
Kwi Usuku lwePentekoste, umthendeleko wentlahlela, azaliseka amazwi kaThixo, azaliseka onke amazwi kaThixo 120 abafundi bakaYesu bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele.
Baphuma phandle besiya kushumayela ivangeli likaYesu Krestu noBukumkani bamaZulu kwaye babizela abantu enguqukweni.
Bamkela iilwimi zomlilo, baza baqala ukuthetha ngalwimi zimbi bonke, engqina ngemisebenzi emangalisayo kaThixo kwaye emenza mkhulu.
UPeter wayengowokuqala, owavuka washumayela ivangeli kaYesu Krestu wabiza abantu bakwaSirayeli, ababehlanganisene eYerusalem ukuze benze umthendeleko wentlahlela (Umthendeleko weeveki), enguqukweni.
Amawakawaka anikela ingqalelo kubizo lwenguquko kwaye basindiswa ngegazi likaYesu kwaye baxolelaniswa noThixo.
Ngamazwi kaPetros kunye namandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele, bagwetyelwa isono, waguquka, waza wabhaptizwa. Banikela ubomi babo kuYesu, Owanikela ubomi bakhe ngenxa yabo.
Kutheni umyalezo kaThixo ungasoloko ukhokelela enguqukweni, kodwa kumsindo, ukumelana, nentshutshiso?
Kwaye ngoko isigidimi sashunyayelwa kwaye sisashunyayelwa. Ngaphandle kwenyani, ukuba ihlabathi lizama ukumvala umlomo umthunywa kaThixo. Ngokuba njengamazwi kaThixo awathethwa ngabaprofeti noYesu kumnqophiso omdala nangabafundi bakhe kumnqophiso omtsha., babengasoloko bemkelwa ngabantu yaye babengasoloko bekhokelela enguqukweni, kodwa wabangela umsindo, ukumelana, endaweni yoko, intshutshiso, amazwi kaThixo asakhokelela emsindweni, ukumelana, nentshutshiso.
Ngoba? Ngokuba amazwi kaThixo asangqina ngemisebenzi engendawo yomntu owileyo (imisebenzi yenyama).
Amazwi kaThixo asafuna inguquko, ukususwa kwesono, kunye nokubuyela kuThixo nokumthobela Yena neLizwi laKhe.
Yaye asinguye wonk’ ubani okulungeleyo ukuncama ubomi bakhe aze alahle imisebenzi yenyama ngenxa kaYesu.
Ukuthanda inyama nehlabathi kubambezela abantu ekulandeleni uYesu nokumthobela nokumkhonza. (Funda kwakhona: Ukulandela uYesu kuya kukuhlawula yonke into).
Ngenxa yokuba abantu abafuni kugwetywa, ziva kakubi, bajamelane nobunqambi babo nemisebenzi emnyama yenyama, abantu bazama ukumthulisa umthunywa kaThixo.
Ungamthulisa umthunywa, kodwa loo nto ayiwutshintshi umyalezo
Ukutyhubela iminyaka akukho nto itshintshileyo, nangona abantu becinga ukuba kukho. Abantu basengendawo nangoku. Basayithanda imisebenzi engendawo yenyama. Kwaye ukuba umthunywa akanakuphenjelelwa kwaye umyalezo awukwazi ukulungiswa, ke inye kuphela into eseleyo ekufuneka yenziwe kwaye kukuthulisa umthunywa, enye indlela okanye enye.
Nangona kunjalo, abantu banokwenza konke okusemandleni abo ukumthulisa umthunywa, kodwa loo nto ayiwutshintshi umyalezo.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
