Maninzi amaKristu, abamdinisayo uYehova. Uhlala njani wamkelela iNkosi? IBhayibhile ithi, nimdinisile uYehova ngamazwi enu, Ukanti nithi, simdinisile ngantoni na?? Xa usitsho, Bonke abenza okubi balungile emehlweni kaYehova, kwaye uyakholiswa zizo; Uphi na uThixo womgwebo (uMalaki 2:17).
Ububi bugqalwa njengobulungileyo yaye okulungileyo kugqalwa njengobubi
Siphila kwixesha, apho izinto ezimbi zibalelwa ekubeni zilungile, zize ezilungileyo zigqalwe njengobubi. Rhoqo ngeveki abashumayeli abaninzi bashumayela epulpitini ukuba akukhathaliseki ukuba wenza ntoni kwaye uphila njani, UThixo uyakuthanda kwaye uyakwamkela kunjalo.
Bathi, loo nto wakuba usindisiwe uhlala usindisiwe kwaye unokuba nobudlelwane noThixo, nokuba uhamba njani, isenzo, kwaye uziphathe.
Lonke lubabalo lukaThixo kwaye ke kulungile ukuhlala usenyameni kwaye uphile, njengehlabathi, esonweni. Kodwa ngokushumayela ezi ntshumayelo, nangokumamela ezi ntshumayelo, nangokukholwa nokulandela ezi ntshumayelo, amaKristu amaninzi adinwa yiNkosi.
Ubabalo lobuxoki ebandleni
Ubabalo, ubabalo, nobabalo. Indlu kaThixo iyaphuphuma lubabalo, uthando, ukunyamezelana, kunye nokwamkelwa. Kodwa lubabalo lukaThixo oluvakaliswayo emabandleni amaninzi, ubabalo lwenyaniso lukaThixo? Ngaba ubongoza amaKristu ukuba anyamezele kwaye amkele ukuziphatha okubi kunye nesono (ukungamthobeli uThixo) ngokwenene inyaniso kaThixo?
Ingaba yinyani, ukuba xa wamamkela uYesu njengoMsindisi wakho kwaye umenze iNkosi yobomi bakho, akukhathaliseki nokuba uhamba njani? Ukuba kulungile ukuhlala uphila esonweni? Akukhathaliseki ukuba wena, njengomKrestu ozelwe ngokutsha, hamba kanye njengehlabathi? (Funda kwakhona: ‘Ulahlekile kulwandle lwenceba‘).
INyaniso yeLizwi likaThixo
Inye kuphela inyaniso kwaye liLizwi likaThixo elo (Ibhayibhile). NgeLizwi likaThixo, uya kufumana inyaniso engunaphakade. Xa uvula iBhayibhile uze ufunde amazwi kaThixo, uya kufumanisa, ngubani na uThixo, ngubani uYesu, nokuba ungubani na uMoya oyiNgcwele nento abayithandayo nabangayifuniyo. Ngegama, uya kuyazi intando kaThixo.
Xa uzalwa ngokutsha ube ngunyana kaThixo (oku kusebenza kuzo zombini iinkunzi nemazi), kufuneka ulazi iLizwi, ngokuba nizelwe nguye. UThixo ube nguYihlo kwaye kufuneka uhambe ngokwentando yakhe kwaye Imithetho yakhe.
Xa ubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, Ubume bukaThixo bungena ngaphakathi kuwe. Uya kuhamba kule ndalo entsha kwaye likhuphe ixhego kwaye yambatha entsha indoda
Uyenza njani loo nto? Into yokuqala ekufuneka uyenzile kukutyala ixesha kwindoda entsha yokomoya. Chitha ixesha eLizwini emthandazweni, kwaye ube nobudlelane noThixo, ngoYesu Kristu noMoya oyiNgcwele.
Hlaziya ingqondo yakho ngegama, ukuze ingqondo yenu endala yenyama iguqulwe ibe yingcinga kaKristu.
Xa usondla umoya wakho ngamazwi kaThixo kwaye usebenzisa amazwi akhe ebomini bakho, uba ngumenzi weLizwi kwaye umoya wakho uqole. Ingqondo neengcinga zakho ziya kungqamana neLizwi. Umoya wakho uya kulawula umphefumlo wakho nomzimba wakho kwaye uya kuhamba ngokweLizwi emva koMoya.
UMoya oyiNgcwele akaze aliphikisane neLizwi
UMoya oyiNgcwele noLizwi babanye. Azahlukani kwaye aziphikisani. Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile xa ufumana igama, iphupha, umbono, okanye isityhilelo, ukuba uhlale ukhangela oku ngeLizwi (Ibhayibhile). Kuba ukuba ufumene ilizwi, iphupha, umbono, okanye isityhilelo, oko kuchasene neLizwi, kufuneka uyale.
Khumbula, ukuba umtyholi uza njengengelosi yokukhanya kungekhona njengengelosi yobumnyama.
Ziphi indalo ezintsha?
Wathi uYesu, ukuba uyamthanda, uze ugcine Imithetho yakhe. Uya kufumana imiyalelo Yakhe eBhayibhileni; ilizwi. Ngoko ke, ukuba uyamthanda uYesu, uyawagcina amazwi aKhe, thobela amazwi akhe, kwaye wenze amazwi aKhe. Ilizwi, Ibhayibhile, kufuneka ibe lelona gunya liphakamileyo kubomi bawo wonke umKristu. ILizwi liyincwadana yemigaqo yendalo entsha, athe amaKristu abe kuKristu.
Kodwa baphi bonke Indalo entsha? Baphi oonyana neentombi zikaThixo? Baphuma nini egunyeni? Wonke umntu uphuma kwigunjana, ngaphandle kwabo. Kutheni kunjalo? Yintoni ebagcinayo?
Kulungile, into ebanqandayo ngabo iimfundiso zobuxoki ezishunyayelwa kwiipulpiti ezininzi. Kancinci kancinci, kwangena abafundisi bobuxoki nabashumayeli abaninzi ebandleni. Ngamazwi abo enkohliso, abaphuma kwingqondo yabo yehlabathi, baye bangcolisa baza batshintsha ivangeli eyinyani kaYesu Krestu bayenza bubuxoki.
Baxube iindaba ezilungileyo nolwazi kunye nobulumko behlabathi. Baye bayingcolisa ivangeli enamandla ngeentanda-bulumko zabo, iziphumo, izimvo, kunye namava. Ngoko ke umyalezo, ukuba bashumayela okwenyama kwaye asiyonto enye, kunobuxoki obuphuma kumtyholi.
Qho ngeveki, kushunyayelwa ubuxoki obuninzi, kwaye eyona nto imbi kukuba amaKristu amaninzi amfanyekiswe bubuxoki bawo kwaye acinga ukuba asenayo inyaniso kwaye ahamba enyanisweni..
Ngaba izithethi ezikhuthazayo ziyayidinisa iNkosi?
Abashumayeli abaninzi baye baba zizithethi ezikhuthazayo, abakholisa abantu endaweni kaThixo. Bawahlengahlengisa amazwi kaThixo ngokweemfuno zabo, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno yamaKristu. Iintshumayelo zabo zisekelwe koko abantu bafuna ukukuva, iminyaka esiphila kuyo, kunye nemigangatho yehlabathi, endaweni yemilinganiselo kaThixo. Ngomyalezo wabo okhuthazayo nowokuzinceda, bondla umntu omdala wenyama endaweni yomntu omtsha wokomoya.
Endaweni yokufumana intshutshiso, abefundisi abaninzi, abashumayeli, abaprofeti, IVangeli, nootitshala, ziphakamile, banqulwa, kwaye ubekwe phezu kwesiseko ngabantu.
Isizathu sokuba banqulwe kukuba bangabehlabathi yaye banomoya wehlabathi ophila ngaphakathi kubo.
Bakhokelwa ngumoya wehlabathi. Ngoko ke bayahlonipha, nyamezela, kwaye wamkele ihambo yesono, nishumayele oko bathanda ukukuva abantu benyama. (Funda kwakhona: UMoya oyiNgcwele vs umoya wexesha elitsha).
Ngelishwa, abasekho oobawo bomoya abaninzi, ngubani na umfundi, fundisa, baze balungise abantwana babo ngendlela echanekileyo eLizwini. Lo nto, baya kuhlala endleleni ethe tye.
Endaweni yokulungisa amaKristu, ezi abefundisi bobuxoki, abashumayeli, abaprofeti, yaye abafundisi bezamkela izinto zonke, nokuba zinxamnye nentando kaThixo. Ngoba? Ngenxa yokuba abafuni ukucaphukisa amaKristu enyama kwaye babangele ukuba bemke ebandleni. Hayi, bafuna ukuthandwa nokwamkelwa ngabo nalihlabathi. Kodwa yintoni abaninzi babo abangayaziyo, kukuba ngokuziphatha kwabo, Bamdinisile uYehova.
Abashumayeli, abamdinisayo iNkosi, babadinisa abalandeli babo;
Abamdinisi nje uYehova kuphela, kodwa zibangela ukuba amaKristu amaninzi nawo ayidinise iNkosi. Uninzi lwamaKristu lucinga, ukuba bahambe enyanisweni, ngenxa yento ethethwa ngumfundisi wabo. Kodwa inyaniso kukuba, ukuba bahamba ebuxokini. Bacinga ukuba bayamkholisa uThixo, Kodwa inyani yile, ukuba abamkholisi kwaphela uThixo. Bayamkholisa uMtyholi kwaye basendleleni eya edikeni lomlilo elingunaphakade. (Funda kwakhona: Kutheni izulu elitsha nomhlaba omtsha ongayi kuza ngenxa yabaninzi?).
Ngaba wonke umntu, owenza ububi, kanye emehlweni kaYehova?
utsho uYehova kuMalaki 2:17, ukuba abantu bamdinise uYehova, ngokuthi wonke umntu, owenza izinto ezimbi, ehamba nentando kaThixo, kunye neLizwi likaThixo, ulungile emehlweni kaYehova. Kwaye uYehova ukholisiwe ngabo bantu, abahlala esonweni nasebubini. Kodwa uThixo akabathandi aboni, abaqhubeka behamba esonweni.
uThixo wanika unyana wakhe ngenxa yaboni, ukuze aboni bakhululwe kwimvelo yabo yesono, ngokholo kuKristu nangabo inguquko nokuzalwa ngokutsha.
Ukuba uzalwe ngokutsha, nahluliwe kulo ihlabathi nesono.
Ngoku, ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe, aniyi kuphinda niyiphulaphule inyama yenu nentando yenu yenyama, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno, kodwa umoya wakho. Uya kumamela oko uMoya oyiNgcwele kunye neLizwi likuthethayo kuwe kwaye uya kubathobela.
Ugwetyelwe kwaye wenziwa amalungisa ngegazi likaYesu Krestu kungekhona ngemisebenzi yakho; ngokugcina umthetho kaMoses (imithetho yedini, imithetho yokutya, imiz, amasiko, njl.).
Kodwa ngoku, ukuba wenziwe ilungisa, kufuneka uhambe ngobungcwele nangobulungisa, kuba leyo yindalo yendalo entsha.
Ngaba ubabalo luyimvume yokwenza isono ngokutsho kweBhayibhile?
Imiyalezo yobabalo nothando eshunyayelwayo namhlanje, zikhutshiwe kwimeko yazo. Kodwa le asiyonto intsha. Ngenxa yokuba uyazi, Kwakhona uPawulos wawuxubusha lo mbandela kwincwadi eyayisiya kwabangcwele baseRoma. UPawulos wabhalela ibandla malunga nokusebenzisa kakubi ubabalo lukaThixo ngenxa yenyama.
Siza kuqhubeka esonweni, Olo lubabalo lwaluphele? Makube lee oko. Saya kuthi, abafileyo kwisono, phila nangakumbi? Anazi na, ukuba thina sonke, esabhaptizelwayo kuKristu Yesu, sabhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? (AmaRoma 6:1-3)
Ubabalo lukaThixo alunakuvumela ukona. Kodwa ubabalo lukaThixo luthetha ukuba, ekuqaleni, ufanelwe sigwebo sokufa, kodwa endaweni yoko, UThixo ukunikile indlela yokuphuma. Uthumela uNyana Wakhe ukuba ahlawule ixabiso lakho, ukuze ungabikho. Ngokholo kuYesu uNyana kaThixo kunye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlangula nangegazi lakhe nokuzalwa ngokutsha, unokuba sisidalwa esitsha kwaye ube yinxalenye yoMnqophiso oMtsha kwaye uxolelaniswe noThixo, kwaye ufumane ubomi banaphakade.
Uqeqesho nesiluleko yinxalenye yothando
Ukuba uthetha ngothando, ke uqeqesho nesohlwayo yinxalenye yothando. Xa uthanda umntu, awufuni ukuba kwenzeke into embi kuloo mntu. Ufuna ukumgcina ekhuselekile loo mntu kwaye umkhusele ebubini, iingozi, intlupheko, njl.
Umzekelo, xa abazali bebathanda abantwana babo, baya kufundisa, uqeqesho, kwaye balungise abantwana babo. Leyo yinxalenye yokukhulisa abantwana kunye noxanduva lwabazali. Kodwa xa abazali bengabalungisi abantwana babo kwaye babavumele baphile ubomi babo, benza intando yabo, kwaye bezenzela ezabo izigqibo, ke aba bantwana baya kuba yimijukujelwa engalawulwayo.
Ngaba amaKristu ayayidinisa iNkosi?
UThixo uyakuthanda, njengokuba umzali ethanda umntwana wakhe. Kambe ke uThixo ufuna ukuba ube nobomi obuchulumancisayo ngokomoya, ukugcine ebubini, intlupheko, ukufa, nesihogo. Yiyo loo nto uThixo ekunike iLizwi laKhe ukuze likugcine ukhuselekile kwaye kude ebubini. ILizwi liyakukhokela, fundisa, uqeqesho, ichanekile, kwaye ndikukhulise. Lo nto, uya kukhula ube ngumfanekiso kaYesu.
Kodwa xa iLizwi likaThixo lokwenyaniso lingasashunyayelwa kwakhona. Xa amakholwa engalungiswa. Kwaye xa amagama eBhayibhile aguqulwa abe yintando, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno yabantu benyama, ukuze amazwi afaneleke ebomini babo, emva koko iba yimijukujelwa engalawulwayo, abasendleleni eya esihogweni.
Kukho kuphela Indlela enye Kwaye nguYesu Kristu.
Xa usenza uYesu Kristu iNkosi yobomi bakho, uya kuzithoba kuYe. Uya kuthobela uYesu kwaye uhambe emithethweni yakhe kwaye uhlale kuye.
Kodwa xa ungafuni ukuzithoba kuYesu kwaye ungawathobeli amazwi nemiyalelo yakhe, emva koko ubonise, ngezenzo zakho, ukuba uYesu akayiyo iNkosi yobomi bakho. Kodwa inkosi yobomi bakho ngusathana.
Ke ngoko izenzo zakho zichaza ukuba ungokabani na: UYesu Kristu okanye umtyholi. Xa usathana enguyihlo, ufanele ukwazi, ukuba indawo yakho yokugqibela ayiyi kuba umhlaba omtsha, ke lidike lomlilo.
Icawe ifuna abashumayeli abanomqolo
Icawa ayifuni abashumayeli, abamdinisayo uYehova, kodwa ibandla lifuna abashumayeli abanomqolo. Abashumayeli, abangoyikiyo ukushumayela inyaniso (amazwi okwenyaniso kaThixo). Icawe ifuna abashumayeli, abangoyikiyo ukumela iLizwi, nokuba abantu baziva njani na, cinga, okanye utsho. Abashumayeli, abo bangafuni kunconywa ngabantu, kwaye baphakanyiswe ngabantu, kodwa ngabashumayeli, abahlala bethembekile kuThixo baze bahlale ekuthandeni kukaThixo baze bayimele inyaniso Yakhe, phezu kwayo nje inkcaso neentshutshiso basenokunyamezela.
Sifuna abashumayeli, abangcwalisayo bahlambulule uMzimba kaKristu ngeLizwi.
Abashumayeli, abangoyikiyo ukulungisa iindwendwe zecawa, abaqhubeka bephila esonweni.
Nokuba le yindlela, ukuba ba, abahlala esonweni, akayi kuphulaphula, baya kuba asuswe ebandleni. Lo nto, amanye amakholwa ecawe akayi kuchaphazeleka kwaye angcoliswe sisono somntu kwaye abe umntu onenxaxheba kwisono sakhe ngomthendeleko. Sifuna abashumayeli, abathi bayeke ukumdinisa uYehova.
Ngoko ke abashumayeli, zikhuseleni izimvu zeNkosi. Bakhulisele eLizwini, ukuze baqole baze bakwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo baze bakhulele emfanekisweni kaKristu.
Xa amaKristu ekhula ngokomfanekiso kaKristu, ngoko ke ibandla liya kuba ngumzimba onamandla kaYesu Kristu endaweni yomzimba obuthathaka.
Makavakaliswe uKristu kwakhona
Ukuba uYesu nomnqamlezo bayashunyayelwa kwakhona, abantu abaninzi baya kutsaleleka ekukhanyeni, guqukani banikele ubomi babo kuYesu, kwaye usindiswe. Kuba uYesu watshoyo, ukuba amasimi amhlophe ukuba avunwe, kodwa bona abasebenzi bambalwa. Isizathu sokuba kubekho imbinana yabasebenzi kukuba le nto kuthiwa yinyani iyashunyayelwa, igqunywe bubuxoki obuninzi.
Masi, ke ngoko, thandazela abasebenzi abanomqolo, abathetha inyaniso, yaye akoyiki ukulungisa amaKristu. (Funda kwakhona: Abasanqwenela ukusebenza esidiliyeni?).
Musani ukumdinisa uYehova;!
Masibususe bonke ubuxoki ebandleni; kubomi bamaKristu kwaye baqale ukuphila ubomi obungcwele obungcwele. Nenziwe ngcwele nangobulungisa ngoYesu Kristu, ngegazi lakhe kunye nomsebenzi wakhe wokukhulula. Oku kuthetha ukuba awusenguye umoni, Kodwa uye waba yingcwele! Ngoko ke, awusayi kuba saphila ubomi bomoni;, ke uya kuphila ubomi bobangcwele. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba uhlala uhlala enesono?).
Kufuneka uguqukele eLizwini wenze into oyiNkosi; ilizwi, ikuxelela ukuba wenze. Endaweni yokuhamba ngolwazi, amazwi, ithiyori, kunye nokufunyaniswa kwabantu benyama kwaye badinwe yiNkosi.
Xa iLizwi lisithi, ukuba kukho into embi, ithetha ukuba imbi kwaye ayilungile. Masingabugqubutheleli ububi ngobabalo lukaThixo. Ubabalo lukaThixo alwenzelwanga ukuba lugqume kodwa lutyhile.
Ngobabalo lukaThixo, nimamkele uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele, ukuze nibe nako ukuyifumana inyaniso, niyityhile inyaniso kaThixo, nibuqonde ubuxoki boMtyholi.
Musani ukuphinda nimdinise uYehova ngamazwi enu aphuthileyo nangentetho yenu, ukuba umntu wenza into echasene nentando kaThixo kunye neLizwi likaThixo, ukuba konke kulungile. Ke vukani, uye ebulungiseni, nikholise uYehova, ngokuthetha amazwi akhe nokuba ngumenzi weLizwi nangokususa zonke izinto ezimbi ebomini bakho nasebandleni, ukuze sonke sihambe njengabantwana bakhe kwaye siphile ekuthandeni kwakhe ebungcweleni nasebulungiseni.
‘Yiba yityuwa yomhlaba’
