UNehemiya wayengumngcamli kaKumkani uArtashashta, owayentliziyo ibheke kuThixo. UThixo wabona imeko yentliziyo kaNehemiya nokuzinikela kwakhe waza watyala entliziyweni yakhe imfesane waza waqhuba ukuvuselela udonga namasango aseYerusalem nabemi bayo.. Emva kokugqiba umsebenzi kaThixo, UNehemiya wacinga ukuba abantwana bakaSirayeli bangahlala ngokukhuselekileyo eYerusalem baze baphile ngokwamazwi nemithetho kaThixo, kodwa kwakungenjalo. Utshaba, owazama ukuthintela nokumisa umsebenzi kaThixo ngaphambili, kodwa akazange aphumelele xa uNehemiya wayekho, waphumelela ngexesha lokungabikho kukaNehemiya. Utshaba aluzange lungene eYerusalem kuphela kodwa lwangena nasendlwini kaThixo. Endaweni yokufunda kwiziganeko ezidlulileyo, abantu baphinda obo budenge. Kuba utshaba lusayazi indlela yokungena endlwini kaThixo kwaye lungcolise ibandla. Leliphi isango olwangena ngalo utshaba endlwini kaThixo yaye utshaba lusangena ngalo endlwini kaThixo?
Imfesane kaNehemiya ngeYerusalem noonyana bakaSirayeli nomthandazo wakhe kuThixo
UNehemiya weva ngomnye wabazalwana bakhe uHanani, namadoda athile akwaYuda, ngemeko emaxongo yaseYerusalem (udonga lweYerusalem lwaludiliziwe, namasango atshiswe ngomlilo) akwimbandezelo enkulu nesingcikivo amasalela amaYuda, abesele ekuthinjweni, apho kweli phondo., walila, esenza isijwili iintsuku ezithile, kwaye izibongo wathandaza kuThixo wamazulu.
UNehemiya wabuyela kuYehova uThixo. Kuba uNehemiya wayesazi ukuba nguThixo kuphela owayenokwenza inguqulelo ngokuphathelele imeko yeYerusalem nempilontle yabemi bayo..
Kwaye, UNehemiya wazithoba phambi koYehova waza wabonisa inguquko. Wazixela izono zoonyana bakaSirayeli kuThixo.
Baye benza ububi nxamnye noThixo yaye abazange bayigcine imiyalelo Yakhe, kwanemimiselo, okanye umgwebo ukuba Yayalela iNkosi.
Abantu bawaphule umnqophiso wabo noThixo baza bakrexeza.
UNehemiya wakhumbuza uThixo ngamazwi awawathetha kuMoses. Ukuba abantu bangaphambuka, UThixo wayeza kuwachithachitha phakathi kweentlanga. Kodwa ukuba abantu babuyela kuYehova, ugcine, wenze imithetho yakhe, Wayeya kubaqokelela esiphelweni sezulu, ubazise kuloo ndawo uYehova wayinyula ukuba alibeke khona igama laKhe.
UThixo wayishukumisa intliziyo ka-Artashashta ukumkani
UThixo wayiva imithandazo kaNehemiya waza wayiphendula imithandazo yakhe. Wayishukumisa intliziyo yokumkani waseBhabheli, owayenamandla nobutyebi ukuze ancede uNehemiya aphinde akhe udonga namasango aseYerusalem.
Ukumkani wasiva isicelo sikaNehemiya sokuba aphinde akhe isixeko saseYerusalem waza wasithobela isicelo sakhe. Wamnika ixesha, izixhobo, negunya (ngokusebenzisa iileta) ukuze baye kwaYuda, bavuse udonga namasango aseYerusalem.
UNehemiya weza kwi radar yotshaba
Waya eYerusalem uNehemiya nabathetheli bomkhosi nabamahashe. Bafika kumabamba anganeno komlambo;, UNehemiya wabanika iincwadi zikakumkani.
Xa uSanebhalati, iHoron, noTobhiya umkhonzi, umAmon, wayiva ngayo, yaba buhlungu kakhulu into yokuba kufike umntu, ababefuna ukuba kulunge koonyana bakaSirayeli.
UNehemiya weza kwirada yabo, okwaba nemiphumo yokuqhubela phambili ukwakhiwa ngokutsha kodonga namasango aseYerusalem.
Ukufika kukaNehemiya eYerusalem akazange axelele mntu ngesizathu sokuza kwakhe. Wayengazange abelane namntu, oko uThixo abekubeke entliziyweni yakhe. UNehemiya akazange abelane ngayo namaYuda, nokuba ngababingeleli, nokuba ngamanene, kwanabalawuli, kwanabanye abenza umsebenzi.
UNehemiya wabiza abantu bakaThixo ukuba baphinde bakhe udonga lweYerusalem
Ebusuku, UNehemiya waphakama waza wahamba namadoda ambalwa ukuya kuphanda ngemeko yodonga olwaludiliziwe namasango, ezitshiswe ngumlilo.
Emva kophando lwakhe, UNehemiya wajamelana namaYuda, ababingeleli, abanumzana, abalawuli, nabanye abenza umsebenzi, ngenkxwaleko ababekuyo. IYerusalem yatshatyalaliswa, namasango atshiswa ngomlilo.
UNehemiya wababiza ukuba baphinde bakhe udonga lweYerusalem, ukuze bangabi saba lungcikivo. Abantu basabela ubizo lwakhe ngokumthembisa ukuba baya kuvuka bakhe. Bazomeleza izandla zabo ukuwenza lo msebenzi ulungileyo.
Amazwi ahlekisayo otshaba akazange amthintele uNehemiya ekubeni aphinde akhe udonga lweYerusalem
Kodwa xa uSanebhalati, uTobhiya, kunye noGeshem (umArabhi) wayiva, bahlekisa ngabo, bebadela, ngokubabuza ukuba yintoni le bayenzileyo nokuba baya kumvukela na ukumkani. UNehemiya wabaphendula ngokuthi:
Thixo wezulu, Uya kusiphumelelisa, ngenxa yoko siya kusuka sakhe, thina bakhonzi bakhe: kodwa aninasabelo, hayi kulungile, okanye isikhumbuzo, eYerusalem
UNehemiya 2:20
UNehemiya wayemazi uThixo wakhe yaye emoyika uYehova. Kungenxa yokuba uNehemiya wayebazi ubukhulu Bakhe, amandla, nemisebenzi emangalisayo.
Ngoko ke la mazwi engcikivo, eyayiqulathe isoyikiso yaye yayifuna ukoyikisa uNehemiya nabantu, akazange amnqande uNehemiya.
Ukholo lwakhe kuThixo kunye nokweyiseka kumazwi aKhe nokuzimisela kwakukhulu kunamazwi aba bantu, owamelana naye, wazama ukumthintela ekuwuvuseni umzi waseYerusalem.
UNehemiya nabantu balungiselela ukwakha iindonga namasango aseYerusalem
UNehemiya nabantu bazilungiselela ukuze baphinde bakhe iindonga namasango aseYerusalem. Wonke umntu wayemiselwe inxalenye ethile yeendonga namasango.
Njengokuba, Wesuka ke umbingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi, nabazalwana bakhe ababingeleli, wabuya walakha isango lempahla emfutshane. Bayingcwalisa, besa enqabeni ende kaMeha, nasenqabeni ende kaHananeli, bazifaka iingcango zayo..
Waza ke elowo wasakha isabelo sakhe eludongeni (UNehemiya 3).
Inzame yokuqala yotshaba ukumisa ukwakhiwa kodonga
Weva uSanebhalati ukuba balwakha udonga, Wavutha ngumsindo, wacaphuka kakhulu. USanebhalati wawagculela amaYuda esithi kubazalwana bakhe nakumkhosi wakwaSamari, Enza ntoni la maYuda abuthathaka? Ngaba baya kuziqinisa?? Ngaba baya kubingelela? Kwaye baya kugqiba ngosuku? bawaphilise na amatye ezimfumbeni zenkunkuma ezitshileyo??
uTobhiya, umAmon, waye noSanebhalati wathi, Kwanaloo nto bayakhayo, ukuba impungutye iye phezulu, uya kuludiliza udonga lwawo lwamatye.
Kodwa kwakhona, UNehemiya akazange oyikiswe ngamazwi abo kwaye akazange ayeke ukuphumeza umsebenzi kaThixo.
UNehemiya akazange asabele. Kunoko, wathandaza kuThixo ukuba ukungcikiveka kwabo kube phezu kwentloko yabo, abanikele ukuba baphangwe elizweni labathinjwa.. Emva komthandazo wakhe, waqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe (UNehemiya 4:1-6)
Inzame yesibini yotshaba yokumisa ukwakhiwa kodonga
Xa uSanebhalati, uTobhiya, amaArabhi, oonyana baka-Amon, yaye abemi baseAshdode beva ukuba iindonga zeYerusalem zilungiswa nokuba iintanda zazisele zivaliwe, bavutha ngumsindo. Benza iyelenqe kunye ukuba beze kulwa neYerusalem, bayithintele.
Kodwa uNehemiya nabanye bathandaza eNkosini uThixo wabo baza bamisa abalindi nxamnye notshaba lwabo imini nobusuku, ngenxa yabo.
UThixo wayezise icebo elibi lotshaba ukuba lingabonwa, babulale abantu, kwaye uwuyeke umsebenzi, ukwenza into
Wathi uYuda, Amandla abathwali bemithwalo ayabola, kwaye kukho inkunkuma eninzi; ukuze singabi nako ukulwakha udonga. Zathi ke iintshaba zethu, Abayi kwazi, kananjalo ubone, side singene phakathi kwabo, nibabulale, bawumisa umsebenzi, ukuze athi, akufika amaYuda abemi ngakubo, bathi kuthi kalishumi, Kuzo zonke iindawo eniya kubuyela kuzo kuthi, ziya kuba phezu kwenu. Ndamisa ke ezindaweni ezisezantsi emva kodonga, nakwiindawo eziphakamileyo, Ndabamisa abantu ngokwemizalwane yabo, benamakrele abo, imikhonto yabo, nezaphetha zabo. Ndajonga, waphakama, wathi kwabanumzana, nakubalawuli, nakwabanye abantu, Musani ukuboyika;: khumbulani uYehova, leyo inkulu neyoyikekayo, nilwele abazalwana benu, oonyana bakho, neentombi zenu, abafazi benu, nezindlu zenu (UNehemiya 4:10-14)
UThixo walithintela icebo elibi lotshaba lwabo, ababefuna ukungena bengaphawuleki baze babulale phakathi kwabo baze bawuyeke umsebenzi.
Xa umchasi wevayo ukuba babesazi ngecebo labo elikhohlakeleyo nokuba uThixo walitshitshisa icebo labo, babuyela eludongeni baza baqhubeka nomsebenzi wabo ngohlengahlengiso olungephi.
Isiqingatha sabakhonzi besenza umsebenzi. esinye isiqingatha sayiphatha yomibini imikhonto, amakhaka, izaphetha, kunye neehaberini. Yaye abathetheli babesemva kwayo yonke indlu yakwaYuda.
abakha eludongeni, nabathwali bemithwalo, nabathwali;, elowo wayesebenza ngesandla sakhe, ngesinye isandla sakhe ephethe iintonga, ngesinye isandla. Kubakhi, elowo wayebhinqe ikrele lakhe ecaleni, kwaye yakha njalo.
ngokuba umsebenzi wawumkhulu, umkhulu, ahlukene eludongeni, kude omnye komnye, kwamiselwa umntu oza kuvuthela ixilongo lokuhlanganisa abantu xa kuyimfuneko. Eyona, owavuthela isigodlo enoNehemiya (UNehemiya 4:18-20)
UNehemiya waxelela abantu ukuba balale eYerusalem, ukuze ebusuku babe nokulinda abantu, basebenze emini, babeya kusindiswa ke.
Ilinge lesithathu lotshaba lokunqanda abantu ekwakhiweni kodonga namasango aseYerusalem
Ubuya kucinga ukuba uSanebhalati, uTobhiya, Gesem, kwaye ezinye iintshaba zaziya kubashiya bodwa abantu bakaThixo, emva kweenzame zabo zokoyikisa, tyhafisa, kwaye banqande abantu bakaThixo. Kodwa abakhange. Baqhubeka befuna indlela yokunqanda abantu ukuba bangakhi udonga namasango aseYerusalem.
Ekubeni babemgqala uNehemiya njengomphembeleli, bazama ukuhenda uNehemiya ukuba enze njalo isono.
Bathumela iileta baza babiza uNehemiya ukuba adibane nabo kwiidolophana ezikwithafa laseOno. Kodwa uNehemiya wayengesosidenge kodwa wayesisilumko waza walibona kwangaphambili icebo labo elingendawo lokumenzakalisa.
UNehemiya wathumela abathunywa kubo ukuba baxelele ukuba wayengenako ukuza kuba wayesenza umsebenzi omkhulu. Akazange alinge kwaye akazange aphazanyiswe yimiba esecaleni. Kodwa uNehemiya wahlala enikel’ ingqalelo kumsebenzi omkhulu owawufanele wenziwe.
Abazange bameme uNehemiya nakanye, kodwa amaxesha amane. Kodwa uNehemiya waziphendula izimemo zabo ngamazwi obulumko afanayo.
Xa iinzame zabo zingazange zisebenze, Okwesihlandlo sesihlanu uSanebhalati wathumela umkhonzi wakhe ngeleta evulekileyo enobuxoki ukuze oyikise uNehemiya, ukuze eze kubo. Kodwa uNehemiya akazange oyike kwaye oyike ngamazwi akhe, ezazibubuxoki. Kunoko, UNehemiya wabhala ileta, esithi amazwi akhe ayengeyonyaniso, kodwa ukuba amazwi akhe ayehanahanisa, evela entliziyweni yakhe.
Bonke bazama ukuboyikisa ngokuthi izandla zabo ziya kuba buthathaka kulo msebenzi, ukuba angenziwa. Kodwa uNehemiya wathi, (kuThixo) ukuba azomeleze izandla zakhe.
Ilinge lesine lotshaba lokumisa ukwakhiwa kodonga namasango aseYerusalem
Ekungeneni kukaNehemiya endlwini kaShemaya, obevale umlomo, waxelela uNehemiya ukuba bahlanganisane endlwini kaThixo ngaphakathi etempileni, ngokuba babeza kumbulala uNehemiya.
Kodwa uNehemiya akazange awakholelwe amazwi akhe kwaye wala ukwenza ngokwamazwi akhe.
Amazwi kaShemaya akazange amoyikise uNehemiya kwaye akazange amenze enze ngenxa yoloyiko, ukuze one, kube negama elibi kubo, ukuze bangcikive.
UNehemiya waqonda ukuba uShemaya wayengathunywanga nguYehova, kodwa wavakalisa esi siprofeto nxamnye noNehemiya ngenxa yokuba uTobhiya noSanebhalati babeqeshe uShemaya ukuze boyike uNehemiya..
Yayingenguye uShemaya yedwa umprofeti wobuxoki, owayezama ukumoyikisa nokumnqanda.
Umprofetikazi uNowadiya nabanye abaprofeti bazama ukumoyikisa uNehemiya, kodwa abazange baphumelele.
NoTobhiya akazange aphumelele ekwenzeni uNehemiya oyike ngeeleta zakhe ezazisiya kwizidwangube zakwaYuda, awamfungelayo; wathumela iincwadi ezininzi kuTobhiya (UNehemiya 6:17-19)
UNehemiya akazange oyike, ngokuba ebekholose ngoThixo wakhe
UNehemiya wahlala ethembekile kuThixo nakumsebenzi awayewunike uNehemiya. Wayengoyiki kwaye engoyiki kwaye ephenjelelwa bubuxoki botshaba. UNehemiya naye akazange aziphindezele. Kodwa uNehemiya wanikela yonke into kuThixo, i UMgwebi olilungisa, owabubonayo bonke ububi botshaba ekuvusweni kweYerusalem.
Kwaye ke uNehemiya nabantu baqhubeka belwakha udonga. Emva koko 52 imihla uNehemiya nabantu bawugqiba umsebenzi.
Iintshaba, abathi boyisa ngaphambili, kwaye bahlekisa abantu kwaye bazama ukugrogrisa uNehemiya nabantu nokuboyikisa nokubabulala, baphoswe kwawabo amehlo. Kuba babeqonda ukuba lo msebenzi wawuwenziwe nguThixo wabo.
Indlu kaThixo kunye nenkonzo yeNkosi yavuselelwa
Emva kokwakhiwa kwakhona kodonga namasango aseYerusalem, zonke izinto zenziwe ngokuthanda kukaThixo. I Umthetho kaMoses waphinda wavela. Babefuna imithetho kaMoses, wabuyisela imithetho kaThixo, kwaye wenza yonke into ngokuthobela amazwi nemiyalelo kaThixo.
Yonke into yabuyiselwa, ingekuphela kweYerusalem kodwa kwanobudlelwane phakathi koThixo nabantu bakhe nendlu yakhe.
Abantu bebandla babeguqukile kwiinkani nakwizono zabo.
Ibandla lathembisa ukukhonza uThixo nokugcina imiyalelo nemimiselo Yakhe kwaye lasihlaziya isibhambathiso salo kumnqophiso noThixo..
Abantu baguquka baza babuyela kuThixo, kwaye ngenxa yoko, UThixo ubuyile ebantwini bakhe. Wabajonga phandle, wabakhusela, wabanyamekela.
Indlu kaThixo ayizange iphinde ilahlwe kodwa yabuyiselwa.
AbaLevi bahlanganiswa baza banikezelwa kwizikhundla zabo njengoko kubhaliwe kuMthetho kaMoses. Amagama, imithetho, yaye imimiselo yoMthetho yabuyiselwa.
Kamsinya nje bakuba befunde into ethile eMthethweni eyayinxamnye nendlela yabo yokuphila, bayiguqula indlela yabo yokuphila yaba liLizwi likaThixo. Endaweni yokuguqula iLizwi likaThixo kwindlela yabo yokuphila.
AmaSirayeli abuguqulela ubomi bawo kuMthetho
Umzekelo, bafunda ukuba oonyana baka-Amon namaMowabhi babethintelwe ukuba bangene ebandleni likaThixo ngonaphakade. Ngoba? Ngokuba engabakhawulelanga oonyana bakaSirayeli enesonka namanzi, kodwa aqesha uBhileham nxamnye nabo ukubaqalekise.
Kamsinya nje bakuba bewuvile lo mthetho, bahlula kumaSirayeli yonke inkitha engumxube. Oku kwakubonisa ukuba bayamhlonela uThixo wabo onguSomandla.
Kodwa nangona abantu benza ngolo hlobo, asizizo zonke iinkokeli ezenza ngaloo ndlela. Ngokomzekelo, cinga ngombingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi, obephethe amagumbi endlu kaThixo
Xa uNehemiya wayekho kwaYuda, yonke into yahamba ngokokuthanda kukaThixo. Utshaba aluzange luphumelele ukungena nokumisa umsebenzi kaThixo.
Kodwa ngexesha lokungabikho kukaNehemiya, utshaba lwangena ngombingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi.
Utshaba lwalunokungena njani eYerusalem nakwindlu kaThixo luze luyihlambele indlu kaThixo??
UNehemiya wazichasa iintshaba zikaThixo waza wathintela ubungendawo obutshabalalisayo ukuba bungene eYerusalem. Nangona kunjalo, umbingeleli omkhulu uEyashibhi wayengenasimo sengqondo esifana nesikaNehemiya. Endaweni yokuthintela utshaba kunye nobubi obutshabalalisayo ekungeneni, umbingeleli omkhulu wavula umnyango ukuze ububi obutshabalalisayo bungene.
Akazange nje umbingeleli omkhulu avule amasango aseYerusalem ngenxa yotshaba nobubi obutshabalalisayo, kodwa wazivula neengcango zendlu kaThixo (iTempile) ngenxa yotshaba nobubi.
Umbingeleli omkhulu uEyashibhi wayenza yambi ngakumbi, ngokunika utshaba indawo yokuhlala endlwini kaThixo. Olu tshaba, owamnika igumbi endlwini kaThixo, yayinguTobhiya umAmon.
Ikwanguye noTobhiya, owayengomnye weentshaba zikaThixo namaYuda waza wazama ukuthintela nokumisa ukwakhiwa kwakhona kodonga namasango aseYerusalem..
Ikwanguye noTobhiya, owazama ukumoyikisa nokoyikisa uNehemiya waza wazama ukumhenda ukuba one. Wada wazama ukubulala uNehemiya namaYuda.
Kodwa phantsi kolawulo lukaNehemiya, UTobhiya wayengenalo ithuba lokungena aze enze amacebo akhe angendawo, hayi nangezalamane nobudlelwane bakhe (UNehemiya 6:17-19).
Akazange ade ahambe uNehemiya, ngaba utshaba lukaTobhiya lwabona ithuba lokungena nje kuphela kwisixeko saseYerusalem kodwa lokungena endlwini kaThixo luze luhlale apho?, ekwangena ngako ububi, bayenza inqambi indlu kaThixo.
Utshaba lukaTobhiya lwaphumelela njani ekungeneni endlwini kaThixo? Ngentsapho yakhe.
Utshaba lwalunokungena endlwini kaThixo ngamaqhina entsapho
UTobhiya wayeyintsapho yombingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi. ngaphandle koko, kananjalo wayengumkhonzi nedlelane lakhe ebugebengwini bukaSanebhalati, umkhwenyana wombingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi.
Lo mbingeleli mkhulu uEliyashibhi wayengenasimo sengqondo kunye nokoyika iNkosi njengoNehemiya. Akazange enze ngokwamazwi nemiyalelo kaThixo, njengoko ebefanele ukwenza kwaye wathembisa ukwenza njengombingeleli omkhulu. Umbingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi wayesoyika ngakumbi uTobhiya isalamane sakhe, umAmon.
Kaloku ukoyika kwakhe intsapho kwakungaphezu kokoyika kwakhe uThixo, wayibeka phezu koThixo intsapho yakhe.
Ngokuvumela intsapho yakhe, owayelutshaba lukaThixo, ehleli ebutshaba noThixo, endlwini kaThixo, wamshiya uThixo noMthetho kaMoses, afanele ukuyimela, thobela, kwaye yenze.
Umbingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi wayekwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo ngokuphathelele ama-Amoni namagumbi endlu kaThixo..
Kodwa uEliyashibhi wawagatya amazwi kaThixo, ngaloo ndlela wamkhanyela uThixo, wenza ngokubona kwakhe, akakubona ukuba kubi, ukuthulula igumbi elikhulu elingcwele, elinikelwe kuThixo., kwaye uyilungiselele kwaye uyinike utshaba lukaThixo: uTobhiya umAmon.
Waza umbingeleli omkhulu waliqongqotha igumbi elikhulu, apho bebefudula bewubeka khona umnikelo wokudla, intlaka yokuqhumisa, neempahla nezishumi zengqolowa, iwayini entsha, kunye neoli, ababewisiwe ngokomthetho wabaLevi, neemvumi, nabamasango, nemirhumo yababingeleli, wayinika uTobhiya.
UNehemiya walugxotha utshaba nobubi obutshabalalisayo endlwini kaThixo waza wayihlambulula indlu kaThixo
Kodwa xa uNehemiya wacela imvume kukumkani waza wabuyela eYerusalem waza wabuqonda ububi uEliyashibhi awayebenzile uTobhiya, ngokumlungisela igumbi ezintendelezweni zendlu kaThixo, kwaba buhlungu kuye. UNehemiya wazikhuphela ngaphandle kwegumbi zonke iimpahla zendlu kaTobhiya.
Waza ke uNehemiya wayalela ukuba ahlanjululwe amagumbi, wabuya neempahla zendlu kaThixo, kunye nomnikelo wokudla, nentlaka emhlophe.
Kodwa eso yayingesosono kuphela. Ngexesha lokungabikho kukaNehemiya, izono ezininzi zangena ebomini babantu bakaSirayeli kunye nendlu kaThixo.
Kwakutheni ukuze bayishiyile indlu kaThixo??
UNehemiya waqonda ukuba izabelo zabaLevi babengazinikwanga. Ngenxa yoko, babuyela elowo entsimini yakhe.
UNehemiya akazange athule aze abukele indlela indlu kaThixo eyalahlwa ngayo. Kodwa uNehemiya wathabatha amanyathelo ngoko nangoko. Wabambana nabaphathi, ebabuza ukuba kungani na ukuba indlu kaThixo ishiywe.
Ngoxa uNehemiya wayeyilungisile indlu kaThixo, abakhonzi, kunye nenkonzo yababingeleli abathembekileyo, ubuncinane yiloo nto awayeyicinga, bawanyamekela amagumbi endlu kaThixo, bayenze inqambi, bayishiya indlu kaThixo. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba icawe iba ngumhadi wamasela?).
Bayihlambela isabatha
UNehemiya naye wayibona loo nto phezu kwawo nje umyalelo kaThixo, abantu basebenza, berhweba ngesabatha, ngenxa yoko bawuhlambela umhla wesabatha. Wabakhumbuza ooyise, nabenza ububi obufanayo, nangenxa yoko, babazisela ububi.
Ngoko nangoko uNehemiya wayalela ukuba kuvalwe iingcango, kwakuba mnyama amasango aseYerusalem, kwaye lingavulwa kwada kwasemva kwesabatha. Wamisa abanye kubakhonzi phezu kwamasango, ukuze kungaziswa mthwalo ngomhla wesabatha.
Walumkisa nabarhwebi nabathengisa ngeentlobo ngeentlobo zeempahla, elala ngeenxa zonke eludongeni lweYerusalem, ukuba bathe babuya wenza njalo, ubeya kubabeka izandla. Ukususela kuloo mzuzu, abazange beze ngomhla wesabatha.
UNehemiya wayalela abaLevi ukuba bazihlambulule baze bagcine amasango ukuze bangcwalise umhla wesabatha.
Imitshato exubeneyo yamaYuda kunye neeNtlanga
UNehemiya wabona imitshato exubeneyo phakathi kwamaYuda nabafazi baseAshdode, uAmon, noMowabhi. Isiqingatha sabantwana babo sasithetha ngesiAshdode, bengakwazi ukuthetha ngesiYuda,
UNehemiya wasukuzana nawo ngobungendawo nokukreqa kuThixo ngokutshata abafazi basemzini.
Wabaqalekisa, wababetha abathile kubo, banquthulwe iinwele zabo, wabafungisa uThixo, ukuze bangaziniki iintombi zabo koonyana babo, bangazithabatheli oonyana babo neentombi zabo.
Wakhankanya uSolomon ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, owayethandwa nguThixo, emenza ukumkani. Nangona kunjalo, ukubathanda kwakhe abafazi bezinye iintlanga kwamenza ukuba one. (Funda kwakhona: Indlela yentshabalalo).
omnye koonyana bakaYoyada, unyana wombingeleli omkhulu uEliyashibhi ubengumyeni kwaSanebhalati waseHoron (notshaba lukaThixo nabantu baKhe). Watshata umfazi wasemzini, ngokuchasene nomthetho kaThixo.
Nangona kunjalo, UNehemiya akazange bahlonipheni abantu.
UNehemiya akazange enze mahluko, ngokuba wayengunyana wombingeleli, engumzukulwana wombingeleli omkhulu. Kodwa uNehemiya wenza ngokwelizwi likaThixo waza wamgxotha kuye.
UNehemiya wahlala ethembekile kuThixo waza wacela uYehova ukuba amkhumbule ngokulungileyo
UNehemiya wacela uYehova ukuba abakhumbule, ngokuba bebenze inqambi ububingeleli, nomnqophiso wobubingeleli nowabaLevi.
Wabahlambulula kubo bonke abasemzini, wabamisela ababingeleli nabaLevi isigxina, elowo emsebenzini wakhe nasezinkuni, ngamaxesha amiselweyo, nakwintlahlela. UNehemiya wacela uYehova ukuba amkhumbule ngokulungileyo (Isahluko sikaNehemiya 1-13)
Urhulumente nocwangco ebandleni luxhomekeke kwinkokeli eyomeleleyo, omoyikayo uThixo, ahambe ngeendlela zakhe
UNehemiya wayeyinkokeli eyomeleleyo, omandla akhe abephuma kuThixo. Wayemthembile uThixo yaye ekulungele, uthobekile, ukukhonza, nokuthobela uThixo. Wayenovelwano, iqhutywa, uzinzile, kwaye uthembekile kuThixo nakumsebenzi Wakhe.
Kodwa ngaphezulu kwako konke, UNehemiya wayesoyika uThixo, uSomandla, i UMdali izulu nomhlaba kwaye konke okuphakathi, awathi ngayo wahamba ethobela amazwi nemithetho kaThixo kwaye akonanga.
UNehemiya wabuyisela isiphithiphithi eYerusalem, ngokuzakha iindonga namasango aseYerusalem.
Wabahlambulula abantu, walungisa indlu kaThixo, kwaye wabuyisela imithetho nemiyalelo kaThixo.
Akazange avumele intshaba ukuba ingene kwaye akazange avumele ububi. Kodwa uNehemiya wenza ububi ebandleni notshaba (kunye nobubi) eyazama ukungena.
Kwaye xa wabona ukuba umbingeleli omkhulu uluvumele utshaba ukuba lungene endlwini kaThixo, ngoko nangoko walukhupha utshaba endlwini kaThixo.
UNehemiya akazange oyikiswe ngamazwi neeleta zabantu, ngaphandle kwabo (usapho) ubudlelwane okanye isikhundla kuluntu. Akazange aphenjelelwe, sihendwa, kwaye woyikiswa ngabantakwabo noodade wabo, I-WHO uprofete ubuxoki phezu kobomi bakhe, nokuba ngamanene (abantu abaphezulu).
UNehemiya akazange aphambuke kwinjongo yakhe ngokubandakanyeka kubuxoki nakwimicimbi esecaleni.
UNehemiya wayegxile kuThixo waza wenza umsebenzi awayewuphathiswe nguThixo waza wawugqiba umsebenzi Wakhe.
Iinkokeli ezinjengoNehemiya azisekho apho
Iinkokeli ezinesimo sengqondo kunye nengqondo efana nekaNehemiya azisekho kwaphela. UNehemiya wayengenguye ukonwabisa abantu kodwa uThixo uyamkholisa.
Ukoyika kwakhe uThixo kwakungaphezu kokoyika kwakhe abantu. Ngenxa yoko, utshaba kunye nobubi obunxulumeneyo, owazama ukungena akazange akwazi ukungena phambi kukaNehemiya.
Hayi de uNehemiya wayishiya iYerusalem, utshaba nobubi bakwazi ukungena kwaye bahlale endlwini kaThixo
Ngeliphi isango utshaba lusangena ngalo endlwini kaThixo?
Yaye kanye njengokuba utshaba nobubi babesazi indlela yokungena endlwini kaThixo ngelo xesha, utshaba nobubi basayazi indlela yokungena endlwini kaThixo (ibandla) ngoku. Njani? Ngamalungu entsapho (izalamane zegazi).
Ngokuphazamiseka, impembelelo, nezono zamalungu entsapho, ingakumbi abantwana, iinkokeli ezininzi zebandla ziye zalalanisa kwaye ziye zanyamezela isono nobugwenxa.
Oko kwakungavumelekanga ecaweni, ngoku yamkelwa ecaweni yaye igqalwa njengeqhelekileyo.
Ukuba umntu ukude kwaye wenza isono, kulula ukumela imbono yeLizwi likaThixo (Ibhayibhile) kwaye ulandele amazwi kaThixo kwaye ugcine imiyalelo Yakhe, omele ukuthanda kwakhe, kwaye ajongane nomntu ngesono sakhe.
Kodwa wenza ntoni ukuba owakho umntwana wenza isono esifanayo?
Ukuba unyana wakho okanye intombi yakho yenza isono esifanayo, usaqinile?
Ngaba usabambelele emazwini kaThixo? Ngaba uhlala uthembekile kuYesu kwaye uqhubeke uhamba emva koMoya omele ubulungisa kwaye uzahlule esonweni?
Okanye ngaba ukhanyisa ngequbuliso isono ukusuka kwelinye icala? Kwimeko yonyana okanye intombi yakho? Yaye ngaba nikhokelwa yinyama; iimvakalelo kunye neemvakalelo zakho, kwaye uvule ucango ukuze utshaba nobubi bungene kwaye uyekelele ebumnyameni kwaye uqubuda esonweni, kuba awufuni ukulahlekelwa ngumntwana wakho?
Yabelana ngesono kwaye uqubuda kumtyholi nesono, ukuthintela ukuphulukana nonyana okanye intombi yakho (okanye utata, umama, usisi, ubhuti, njl.)
Bangaphi abashumayeli, abadala, namadikoni ayedla ngokuchasa ukuhlala kunye engatshatanga kwaye babecacelwe yimbono yabo eyayivumelana neLizwi, de unyana okanye intombi yabo ibaxelele ukuba bafuna ukuhlala kunye bengatshatanga, baza balalanisa baqubuda kumtyholi esonweni bavumela isono ebandleni.
Bangaphi abashumayeli, abadala, nabadikoni babekuchasile ukukrexeza kunye uqhawulo-mtshato baza benza imbono yabo eyayimele iLizwi, eyaziwayo ebandleni, de unyana okanye intombi yabo ibaxelele ukuba bathathe isigqibo sokuqhawula umtshato kwaye batshintsha imbono yabo kwaye balwamkela uqhawulo-mtshato ecaweni kwaye baluqhawula umtshato njengesiqhelo..
Kwaye bangaphi abashumayeli, abadala, kwaye abadikoni baye balalanisa kwaye baye bafana nehlabathi, ngenxa yokuba babephenjelelwa ziimbono nendlela yokuphila yabantwana babo?
Umtyholi unokungena kubomi nakwiicawe kwaye azuze indawo, apho uthando lukaThixo kunye nokoyika uThixo kusilela ezintliziyweni zeenkokeli namakholwa kwaye uYesu akangoyena Mntu ubalulekileyo ebomini, kodwa lilungu losapho. (Funda kwakhona: Umoya kaEli).
Lowo uthanda uyise nokuba ngunina, unyana okanye intombi engaphezulu kunoYesu ayimfanelanga
Lowo uthanda uyise nokuba ngunina kunam, akandifanele mna: nalowo uthanda unyana wakhe nokuba yintombi yakhe kunam, akandifanele mna. nalowo ungawuthabathiyo umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele, ayindifanele mna (UMateyu 10:37-38)
Ngoko ke, Wathi uYesu, ukuba uyamthanda uyihlo, umama, unyana, okanye intombi ngaphezu kwakhe (ilizwi), animfanelanga.
Ukuthanda uYesu kuthetha, ukuba niwakholelwe amazwi aKhe, yenzani into ayithethayo, kwaye uyayigcina imiyalelo yakhe, nize nimlandele, naphezu kwembono kayihlo kunye nesigqibo sakhe, umama, unyana, okanye intombi, ukuba uwacekise amazwi kaThixo, aphile ekungamthobelini uThixo ebumnyameni, esenza imisebenzi yenyama echasene nokuthanda kukaThixo.
Ukuthanda uYesu kunexabiso.
Ukuba umthanda ngokwenene uYesu, ke ayikubizi ubomi bakho kuphela (enizibeke kuKristu), kodwa inokukuxabisa usapho kunye nabahlobo bakho. Ngaphandle kokuba, uqubuda kwintando kasathana kwaye ulalanisa nesono kwaye uvumele ubumnyama ukuba bungene.
Xa ulalanisa kwaye uvumele isono, ngokuvumela ubomi besono, awuyi kuphulukana nabo kodwa nguYesu.
Ngokulalanisa uqubuda kumtyholi, osebenza ebantwaneni bokungathobeli, uyamkele imisebenzi yakhe engendawo (isono) ube nesabelo kwimisebenzi yakhe engendawo.
Indlu kaThixo ishiywe kwikamva lakhe kwaye amasango ebandla ashiyiwe
Abapostile, IVangeli, abaprofeti, abefundisi, ootitshala, kunye nabadala, ababenikwe uxanduva lokugada amasango eBandla nokukhulisa amakholwa kwintando kaThixo ukuze akhule ngokomoya., balushiyile uxanduva lwabo bamvumela umtyholi (utshaba) nesono (ububi) ebandleni ngenxa yempembelelo kunye/okanye izono zoonyana babo, iintombi, abazali, okanye amanye amalungu osapho.
Amasango ebandla awayegadwe nalapho inyaniso nomgwebo (ubulungisa) zathethwa ngokweLizwi likaThixo zilahliwe.
UMoya oyiNgcwele kunye neLizwi, emele ukuthanda kukaThixo, ziye zathatyathelw’ indawo ngumntu nobulumko, intando, iinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama. Konke kungenxa yokuba uThixo uye wathatyathelw’ indawo ngabantu, kwaye endaweni kaThixo, abantu bahleli ezintliziyweni zamaKristu amaninzi.
Utshaba kunye neentshaba zikaThixo zisasebenzisa isango elifanayo lokungena nokumisa umsebenzi kaThixo
Utshaba neentshaba zikaThixo zazikrelekrele kakhulu ngexesha likaNehemiya, kodwa utshaba (umtyholi) ukanti iintshaba zikaThixo zilumkile. Abanikezeli ngokulula, njengoko amaKristu amaninzi esenza. Kodwa bayazingisa kwaye bazama de bayifumane indawo yokungena ebandleni baze bangcolise ibandla
Utshaba kunye neentshaba zikaThixo zisebenzisa isango elifanayo lokungena endlwini kaThixo kwaye zisebenzise iindlela ezifanayo ukuze zoyikise kwaye zimoyike amaKristu kwaye ziwabangele ukuba one., nokubathulisa nokubanqanda, ukuze umsebenzi kaThixo umiswe.
UNehemiya wazalelwa phantsi koMthetho yaye wayephuma kwisizukulwana sowa (indalo endala), owayehlala kumnqophiso omdala. Kodwa amaKristu amaninzi, abathe baba sisidalwa esitsha kuKristu, bahlala phantsi kwabo ubabalo kuMnqophiso oMtsha unokuthabatha umzekelo wokuthembeka kukaNehemiya, ukuziphatha, kunye nengqondo, ngaphezu kwako konke ukuthanda kwakhe nokoyika uThixo wakhe.
