Umnqamlezo yindawo yokucamagushela kunye nendawo yentlawulelo nobabalo. Umnqamlezo yindawo yokufela nalapho ubomi bakho obutsha buqala khona. UYesu UKristu wayeyiMvana kaThixo egqibeleleyo (engenasiphako nabala), tubuthabathele kuye bonke ubugwenxa, nezono zehlabathi;. UYesu waba nguMmeli wakho kwaye waxhonywa emnqamlezweni, ebifanele ukuba yindawo yakho. Ufanele ukuba ujinga apho, ngenxa yobugwenxa nezono zenu. Kodwa ngenxa yothando olukhulu lukaThixo, UThixo wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwakhe uYesu Krestu ukuba abe nguMbambi wakho. UYesu wasithabathela kuye isohlwayo sakho, lo nto, akusafuneki ukuba uyithwale kwakhona. UYesu wayejamelene nokufa, ukuze ungabi sajongana nokufa nesohlwayo sanaphakade esihogweni. Nangona kunjalo, amaKristu amaninzi akawugqali umnqamlezo njengendawo yokufela kodwa indawo yokugcina ukona.

Wathini uYesu ngomnqamlezo eBhayibhileni?
UYesu wathetha oku kulandelayo ngomnqamlezo: nongawuthabathiyo umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele, akandifanele mna (UMateyu 10:38)
Ukuba kukho mntu uza kundilandela, makazincame, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, ndilandele. Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo: Kwaye othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, wowufumana (UMateyu 16:24,25)
nabani na oya kuza emva kwam, makazincame, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, ndilandele (Phawula 8:34).
Thabatha umnqamlezo wakho, ndilandele (Phawula 10:21)
Ukuba kukho mntu uza kundilandela, makazincame, kwaye uthathe umnqamlezo wakhe yonke imihla, ndilandele (ULuka 9:23)
nosukuba engawuthwali umnqamlezo wakhe, uze emva kwam, akanakuba ngumfundi wam (ULuka 14:27)
Kwezi ndinyana, UYesu ucace gca. Wathi uYesu, ukuba ufuna ngokwenene landela uYesu Kristu, kufuneka uwuthwale umnqamlezo wakho, umlandele.
Kuthetha ukuthini ukuthatha umnqamlezo wakho??
Kulungile, ukuphendula lo mbuzo, kufuneka sijonge into eyenzekayo emnqamlezweni. UYesu wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni. Wazikhanyela, ngokuthobela ngokupheleleyo ukuthanda kukaThixo.
UYesu ngewayekwenzile ukuthanda Kwakhe aze angamthobeli uThixo. UYesu ngewayebunandiphe ubomi bakhe emhlabeni, mhlawumbi uYesu wayesele emdala kakhulu. Kodwa uYesu akazange akwenze oko.
Wayibethelela emnqamlezweni intando yakhe ngokuba abe ngokupheleleyo ethobela intando kaYise.
UYesu wayecinga ngento enye kuphela kukwenza ukuthanda kukaYise, wancama ubomi bakhe, kwaye azalisekise icebo likaThixo ngobomi baKhe.
Icebo likaThixo yayikukufela uluntu aze athabathele kuye izono zehlabathi, kwaye ube sisicamagushelo soluntu, aze athabathe kwakhona igunya elalithatyathwe ngumtyholi aze axolelanise umntu kwakhona noThixo.
UYesu uthi nawe wenze okufanayo. Kufuneka uwuthwale umnqamlezo wakho yonke imihla, okuthetha ukuba kufuneka uyibethelele intando yakho kwaye wenze intando yakhe.
Kuthetha ukuthobela uYesu Krestu kwaye wenze ukuthanda kukaBawo kwaye uzalisekise injongo yakhe ngobomi bakho.
Kuthetha ukuzikhanyela, zifele kum, yifela ezinkanukweni nasezinkanukweni zenyama. Ukufa yinkqubo ebuhlungu. Akukho lula, kodwa kuyimfuneko ukuze ulandele uYesu.
Unokukhetha

Yusakuthanda ukwenza izinto ozenzayo kwaye awufuni kuthi ndlela-ntle kwezi zinto. Awuboni bungozi ngokuzenza.
Uninzi lwabantu lufuna ukubambelela kubomi babo obudala kwaye bongeze into ebizwa ngokuba 'yihambo yobuKristu'. Baba lilungu lebandla, yiya ecaweni, yiba nobuhlobo, Ngaba isisa siyasebenza, Funda iBhayibhile 5 okanye 10 imizuzu phambi kokuba balale, yenza umthandazo okhawulezayo kwaye kuphelele apho.

Wenza ntoni uYesu hayi Xela ngomnqamlezo ?
UYesu akazange athi umnqamlezo unjalo:
- iphepha-mvume lokuhlala usona,
- uqhele ukwenza lento ufuna ukuyenza,
- Isizathu sokuhlala uphila esonweni kwaye uthi ubuthathaka kakhulu kwaye ke hlala ubuyela emnqamlezweni ngokuphindaphindiweyo.
Umnqamlezo awuyondawo yokuphumla kwaye ungeyondawo yokumisa inkampu, kodwa umnqamlezo sisiqalo sakho.
Mandicace, Anditsho ukuba kufuneka ulibale umnqamlezo. Hayi, usenokungaze uwulibale umnqamlezo!
Umnqamlezo yindawo apho ufela khona kwaye ubeka phantsi ubomi bakho
Umnqamlezo yindawo apho uYesu Krestu waba liBamba lakho. Yindawo apho wazifanisa khona noKristu kwaye wazalwa ngokutsha. Umnqamlezo yindawo, apho bususwe kuni bonke ubugwenxa benu, nezono zenu;. Yindawo apho waxolelaniswa noBawo, kuYesu Kristu.
Kodwa umnqamlezo mawungabi yindawo yokumisa iintente. Indawo, apho uhlala khona kwaye ubambeke phakathi kobomi bakho obudala kunye nobutsha kwaye uhlale apho. Konke ngenxa, awukwazi ukuthi ndlela-ntle kwimikhwa yakho yakudala, izono zakho. (Funda kwakhona: Idabi kunye nobuthathaka bendoda endala)
Abaninzi bahamba ngeenyawo, endathetha futhi kuni ngaye, ngoku ke ndinixelela nokulila, ukuba baziintshaba zomnqamlezo kaKristu: Osiphelo siyintshabalalo, abaThixo usisisu sabo, abaluzuko lulihlazo labo, abanyamekela izinto zomhlaba(KwabaseFilipi 3:18)
Ukuba uyaqhubeka usenza ukuthanda kwakho nokuba ingqondo yakho imiliselwe kwizinto zehlabathi, ulutshaba lomnqamlezo.
Ukuba izinto zehlabathi nentando yakho, zibaluleke ngaphezu kokwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo nokuhamba ngokoMoya, emva koko iBhayibhile ithi ulutshaba lomnqamlezo.
Kwakhona, Unokukhetha. Kodwa konke okanye akukho nto, akukho ndlela phakathi.
Awunako ukukhonza oothixo ababini. Mhlawumbi uya kuphulukana nobomi bakho apha emhlabeni okanye uya kuphulukana nobomi bakho esihogweni.
Wathini uPawulos ngomnqamlezo?
UPawulos wathetha oku kulandelayo ngomnqamlezo, Kodwa makube lee kum ukuba ndiqhayise, gcinani emnqamlezweni weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, ngaye ihlabathi labethelelwa emnqamlezweni kum, nam ndisilele ihlabathi. Kuba kwabakuKristu Yesu, akunamandla anto ukwaluka, kwanokungaluki, kodwa sisidalwa esitsha (kwabaseGalati 6:14,15)
Ubomi bukaPawulos babethelelwa emnqamlezweni kunye noYesu Kristu. Wawuthwala umnqamlezo wakhe, intsingiselo, ukuba uPawulos wazikhanyela waza wamthobela uKristu.
UPawulos wathunywa ukuba ashumayele iindaba ezilungileyo. Hayi ngamazwi, kodwa ngamandla. UPawulos akazange ashumayele iintanda-bulumko zabantu kunye nobulumko benyama behlabathi, kodwa uPawulos wawushumayela umnqamlezo, Ngawo amandla kaThixo.
Kuba uKristu akandithumanga kubhaptiza, ndize ndizishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo: kungabi ngabulumko bakuthetha, ukuze umnqamlezo kaKristu ungalanjathiswa. Ukushunyayelwa komnqamlezo kubonise ubudenge; Kodwa kuthi basindiswayo ngamandla kaThixo (1 KwabaseKorinte 1:17-18)
Uxolelaniswe noThixo ngomnqamlezo, ngegazi likaYesu. Ngoko ke, ninoxolo ngokuba uxolile. Igazi likaYesu lenziwe wena malungisa.
KuKristu Yesu nithe naba ngamalungisa, ngcwele, ongenakusoleka nongenakusoleka.
The ukuba abaxolelanise bobabini noThixo, babe mzimbeni mnye ngawo umnqamlezo, ebubulele ngayo ubutshaba (Kwabase-Efese 2:16)
Kwaye, Sele wenza uxolo ngegazi lomnqamlezo wakhe, ngaye ukuzixolelanisa zonke izinto kuye; ngaye, Ndithi, Nokuba zizinto ezisemhlabeni, okanye izinto ezisezulwini.
Kwaye wena, Ezo zazihlukanisiwe kunye neentshaba engqondweni yakho ngemisebenzi engendawo, kanti ke ngoku uxolelanisilenomzimba wenyama yakhe ngokufa, Ukuzisa ungcwele kwaye ungafanelekanga kwaye ungafanelekanga emehlweni akhe (KwabaseKolose 1:20-1:22)
Zonke izono zakho, zonke izono zakho, baxolelwe
Kwaye wena, nifile nje ziziphoso nakukungaluki kwenyama yenu, udlise ubomi kunye naye, enixolele zonke iziphoso; Ukucima ukubhalwa kwesandla imimiselo eyayichasene nathi, eyayiphikisana nathi, kwaye wayikhupha endleleni, Ukuyibeka emnqamlezweni; Kwaye ukuba upentelwe amandla kunye namandla, Wenza i-whow yazo ekuhleni, Ukuloyisa kubo (KwabaseKolose 2:13-15)
Khawufane ucinge, amaphepha abhalwe azele zizono zenu; uzele ziziphoso zakho, lowo ubeza kunigweba ukuba nigwetywe ukufa, kodwa bacinywa ngumsebenzi womnqamlezo.
Kufana nokuthatha onke amaphepha kunye nezigqitho zenu ebeza kunigwebela ukufa, baphose bonke emlilweni.
UYesu wakwenzela oko.
UYesu waluthabathela kuye olo tyholo ngokupheleleyo. Wathabatha isigwebo sakho sokufa phezu kwaYe, ukuze uhambe ngobulungisa kuye. Ukhululekile esonweni, ngaphandle kwetyala, ngaphandle kokugwetywa.
Ewe, zonke izono zakho zabethelelwa emnqamlezweni wakhe. Uqala ngephepha elicocekileyo.
Xa uba uzelwe ngokutsha, umoya wakho ufana nosana.
Okukhona ukondla umoya wakho, ngokuva nangokufundisisa iBhayibhile (ILizwi LikaThixo) kwaye uhlaziye ingqondo yakho kwaye wenze ilizwi likaThixo, Okukhona umoya wakho ukhula ngokukhawuleza.
Nangona kunjalo, ukuba awuwondli umoya wakho kodwa wondle inyama yakho, umoya wakho uya kufa yindlala kwaye ekugqibeleni ufe. Kwakhona, Unokukhetha.
Kuya kubakho amaxesha onyaka ahlukeneyo ebomini bakho. Kodwa ukuba uhlala kwintando kaThixo kwaye uhlale usiva kwaye ufunda iLizwi laKhe kwaye ulenza iLizwi laKhe, uya kuma ngokuqinileyo, uhambe njengonyana kaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi) emhlabeni.
