Imali ayiyonto imbi, ke ukuthanda imali kubi, icatshulwe ngamaKristu amaninzi. Ivakala ingcwele kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo iyinyani, kuba iBhayibhile ithi ngo 1 uTimoti 6:10, ukuba ukuthanda imali yingcambu yeento zonke ezimbi. Nangona kunjalo, Ngaba la mazwi aphuma kwintliziyo elungileyo yekaYesu okanye kwintliziyo eyonakeleyo eyazingcayo neyeyobutyebi?? Ngenxa yokuba amaxesha amaninzi, la mazwi asetyenziswa ngamaKristu ukufihla uthando lwawo lwemali nokubawa kwawo nokunqwenela ubutyebi. Ithini iBhayibhile ngokuthanda imali nokunqwenela ubutyebi noko kwenzekayo xa imali isiba nguthixo wakho?
Isilumkiso sabafundisi bobuxoki abakugqala ukuhlonela uThixo njengendlela yokufumana inzuzo nokurhweba ngamakholwa
Ngaphakathi 1 uTimoti 6:1-10, UPawulos walumkisa uTimoti ngabafundisi bobuxoki, ababefundisa enye imfundiso, ngokuchasene nemfundiso yakhe namazwi aphilileyo, nkqu amazwi eNkosi uYesu Krestu, nemfundiso engokokuhlonela uThixo. Aba bafundisi bobuxoki babegqala ukuhlonela uThixo njengendlela yokuzuza inzuzo.
Kodwa ukuhlonela uThixo ngolwaneliseko kukufumana inzuzo enkulu. Kuba asizanga nto kweli lizwe, Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo asinakukhwela nto. Kwaye ukuba nokutya kunye nengubo mayibe nakho umxholo. Kodwa bona baya kuba sisityebi esilingweni kunye nomgibe, Kwaye kwiinkanuko ezininzi ezizizidenge nenzakalisayo, enamadoda avuthelayo kwintshabalalo kunye neperdiy. Uthando lwemali yingcambu yabo bonke ububi: Ngeliphi na ixesha elithile emva, bathobele ukholo, kwaye wazihlazisa ngokusebenzisa iintlungu ezininzi. Wena, Owu mntu kaThixo, zibaleke ezi zinto; uphuthume ke ubulungisa, ukuhlonela, ukholo, uthando, umonde, ukuthobeka. Wulwe umlo omhle wokholo, Beka ubomi banaphakade, obiziweyo, kwaye ukuthintela ukuba ngumsebenzi olungileyo phambi kwamaNgqina amaninzi (1 uTimoti 6:6-12)
Kwakhona uPetros walumkisa ngabafundisi bobuxoki, bengenisa amahlelo entshabalalo, nokubawa, ngamazwi alalanisayo, bawarhwebekise amakholwa.. (2 UPetros 2:1-4).
Ithini iBhayibhile ngokuthanda imali?
IBhayibhile ithi ukuthanda imali yingcambu yabo bonke ububi. UPawulos wabhala kwi 1 uTimoti 6:10, ukuba ezo, othe waba sisityebi, uya kuwela ekuhendweni nasemgibeni, Kwaye kwiinkanuko ezininzi ezizizidenge nenzakalisayo, enamadoda avuthelayo kwintshabalalo kunye neperdiy. Uthando lwemali yingcambu yabo bonke ububi, Ngeliphi na ixesha elithile emva, balahlekisiwe elukholweni, kwaye wazihlazisa ngokusebenzisa iintlungu ezininzi.
Ngelishwa, amaKristu amaninzi asityeshele esi silumkiso.
AmaKristu amaninzi aye akhohliswa ziimfundiso zobuxoki, eyayivela ekubaweni (ukubawa) kwaye ugxininise kwi (ezalisekisa) iinkanuko neminqweno yomntu wenyama nempumelelo yasemhlabeni.
Ngenxa yezi mfundiso zobuxoki, amaKristu amaninzi aye alahlekiswa kwaye aye phantsi kolawulo lobutyebi. Bathanda imali yaye balawulwa kukubawa, apho banganeliseki kwaye bangaze baneliswe kodwa bahlala benqwenela imali engakumbi.
Yonke into ijikeleze imali ebomini babo.
Basebenzisa imigaqo yeBhayibhile kwimithandazo kunye namazwi kaThixo kwiminqweno yabo yenyama kunye neminqweno kwaye basebenzise iindlela ezikhohlisayo zomphefumlo kummandla womoya ukufumana imali kunye nokutsalela ubutyebi beli hlabathi kubo., njengazo, abangabehlabathi, nomphathi walo eli hlabathi, usathana kwaye abamazi uThixo.
Ngokholo kwiingcinga zabo, amazwi, kunye neendlela zokufumana oko bafuna. Nangona kunjalo, kuba bezenyama abazi ukuba ngokusebenzisa ezi ndlela zokukhohlisa kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kwizinto zobugqi., bakwavula amasango obumnyama kwaye abamkeli ubutyebi basemhlabeni kuphela, kodwa kwanenkohlakalo nokonakala kwehlabathi (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba ubomi busisiprofeto esizizalisekisayo?)
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, aninako ukukhonza uThixo
Musani ukuziqwebela ubutyebi emhlabeni, apho kukhona khona inundu nengxolo, kwaye apho amasela aphula khona kwaye abe khona: Kodwa zilungiseleleni ubutyebi ezulwini, apho kungekho mnumzana nabuqhetsebayo, kwaye apho amasela angayiphuli okanye abe: Kuba apho bukhona ubutyebi bakho, yoba lapho nentliziyo yakho (UMateyu 6:19-21)
Akukho mntu unako ukukhonza nkosi mbini: Kuba uya kuyithiya le, Kwaye thanda enye; okanye ngenye indawo uya kubamba, kwaye uyidele enye. Aninako ukukhonza uThixo nobutyebi (UMateyu 6:24)
UYesu walumkisa izihlandlo ezininzi ngengozi yokuthanda imali nokuqhatha kobutyebi. Wathi uYesu, phakathi kwabanye, ukuba awunakukhonza iinkosi ezimbini. ngokuba uya kuyithiya le, uyithande leya, okanye ubambelele kule, uyidele leya. Ngoko ke, aninako ukukhonza uThixo nobutyebi.
Nangona kunjalo, abashumayeli abaninzi bathetha ngokuchaseneyo kwaye bathi unokubathanda bobabini kwaye bakhonze bobabini.
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba amaKristu amaninzi akholelwa amazwi abashumayeli ngaphezu kwamazwi kaYesu, bakholelwa obu buxoki kwaye bahamba kobu buxoki kwaye bathanda imali kwaye bagxile emalini babeke ithemba labo emalini., njengehlabathi (Funda kwakhona: Kutheni ivangeli yempumelelo ishunyayelwa?).
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, uya kukholosa ngemali endaweni kaThixo
Utsho uYehova, Isilumko masingaqhayisi ngobulumko baso, igorha malingaqhayisi ngobugorha balo, Isityebi masingaqhayisi ngobutyebi baso: Oqhayisayo ke makaqhayise ngako oko, ukuba andiqonde, endazi mna, ngokuba ndinguYehova, owenza inceba, isigwebo, Nobulungisa, emhlabeni: ngokuba ndinanze ezo zinto, utsho uYehova (UYeremiya 9:23-24)
Kwaye yena (UYesu) Wathi kubo, Lumka, Kulumkeleni ukubawa: Kuba ubomi bomntu buqinisekanga kwintabalala yezinto anazo (ULuka 12:15)
Kodwa igama litsho, ukuba ungathembeli emalini, kodwa ufanele ukholose ngoThixo. Imali sisixhobo emhlabeni kwaye ifanele ihlale isisixhobo kwaye ingabi nguthixo kubomi bamaKristu.
Nangona kunjalo, amaKristu amaninzi athembele ngakumbi emalini kunoThixo, njengehlabathi.
Mhlawumbi imali inexabiso elikhulu emhlabeni, kodwa imali ayinaxabiso eBukumkanini bukaThixo.
Awukwazi ukuthenga ukungena kuBukumkani bukaThixo, okanye uthenge izinto zoBukumkani bukaThixo.
Ngokuchasene nabantu abasemhlabeni, UThixo akathengiswa kwaye awukwazi ukumkholisa uThixo ngemali kunye / okanye ukunyoba uThixo ngemali. Kwaye uMoya oyiNgcwele naye akathengiswa (ULuka 12:15-21, IZenzo 8:17-24).
NguYesu Krestu kuphela onokukusindisa kwaye akugcine. Igazi lakhe linokunihlambulula kuzo zonke izono zenu nobugwenxa, linigwebele, linixolelanise noThixo. KungoYesu Kristu kuphela onokungena eBukumkanini bukaThixo uze ufumane uMoya oyiNgcwele.
Kwaye okoko ubeka ithemba lakho kuYesu kwaye umthobele kwaye ugcine imithetho yakhe, uya kuma, uhlale usindisiwe (Funda kwakhona: Iyintoni na imiyalelo kaThixo nemiyalelo kaYesu?).
UYesu wayalela ibandla laseLawodike ukuba liguquke
Yiyo loo nto uYesu wayalela ibandla laseLawodike ukuba liguquke. Icawa yayichume kakhulu kwaye ityebile kwaye ithembele kubutyebi bakhe. Icawa yayingaswele nto. Nangona, nantso into eyayicingwa libandla.
Emehlweni abantu, icawa yayityebile, nempumelelo, kubalele ukuba ungowokubongwa nguThixo. Nangona kunjalo,, emehlweni kaThixo, ibandla alisikelelwa, ubutyebi, kwaye uphumelele konke konke, kodwa udikidiki, awathi ngalo uYesu waliphalaza ibandla emlonyeni wakhe, kwaye silusizi, lusizi, ihlwempu, ukungaboni, kwaye ze.
UYesu wacebisa ibandla ukuba nithenge kuye igolide evuthiswe emlilweni, ukuze babe zizityebi, kunye nengubo emhlophe, ukuze bambathe baze bagubungele ihlazo lobuze babo, uthambise amehlo abo ngentambiso yamehlo, ukuze babone (ISityhilelo 3:14-22).
Wonke umntu, othembela emalini nakubutyebi beli hlabathi uya kuqhathwa.
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, uya kuzishiya iindlela ezithe tye zikaThixo
Xa imali iba nguthixo wakho kwaye ukuthanda kwakho imali kungaphezu kokuthanda kwakho uThixo, uya kuhendeka ukuba uzishiye iindlela ezithe tye zikaThixo, ungene kwiindlela zokonakala zehlabathi.
Kuba indlela elisebenza ngayo ihlabathi idla ngokuhenda yaye iyathembisa
Ukuba ukuthanda imali kulawula ubomi bakho, uya kuxoka, ukukopela, kwaye ubambe izinto ukuze ufumane ngaphezulu. Mhlawumbi uya kwenza umsebenzi ongachazwanga, i-accounting enobuchule, ukuba, ukwenza ubuqhophololo, ukuphepha iirhafu kunye nemimiselo, nokulalanisa ebubini ukuze kuzaliseke inkanuko yenyama.
Ngenxa yoko niya kuyishiya indlela ethe tye kaThixo, ningene kwindlela egoso-goso yehlabathi, nitshintshise okulungileyo ngobubi.
Kwaye ukwenza lula ukuqonda kwakho okukutyhola ngokuthe cwaka ngasemva (kwaye mhlawumbi nabantu, abangamangqina emisebenzi yenu engendawo), nonyuka nizicamagushela zonke iintlobo, iingxoxo, uxoke, uxoke, ukuba ukholise ihambo yakho engendawo, nemisebenzi yakho engendawo, ukuze ungabi nabubi.
Kodwa akunamsebenzi ukuba zingaphi iingxoxo ozisebenzisayo, aniyi kuba nampumelelo ekwenzeni ububi okulungileyo. Ngokuba yonke into imi kuThixo ngonaphakade. Kwaye oko kuzinziswe noThixo ngonaphakade kuzinzile kumntu wonke.
Kuba ukususela ekuweni komntu, wonke umntu uyakwazi okulungileyo nokubi. Ngoko ke akukho bani unokubonelela ngesingxengxezo esibambekayo sokuziphatha okubi nokuthetheleleka kobungendawo (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba ungasebenzisa ihlabathi eliqhekekileyo njengesizathu?).
UThixo ubona yonke into. Ubona intliziyo nobubi obuphuma kwintliziyo embi. Ubona indlela abantu abaligatya ngayo iLizwi likaThixo ngokwenza ububi nangokumhlazisa ekuhleni uYesu (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba unokubethelela uYesu kwakhona kwaye umenze ihlazo ekuhleni?).
Abantu banokuthi bangamaKristu kwaye bakholelwe kwaye bangqine ngoYesu, kodwa ubungqina bemisebenzi yabo bungqina ukuba ngaba ngabakaThixo na kwaye bazelwe nguye nokuba bayamthanda na uYesu kwaye bamlandela okanye akunjalo..
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, amazwi kaThixo aya kuminxa ebomini bakho
Abo bahlwayelweyo emithaneni enameva ngaba; njengabalivayo ilizwi, Namaxhala eli hlabathi, nenkohliso yobutyebi, neenkanuko zezinye izinto zingene, tyalela igama, ize ke ingabi nasiqhamo (Phawula 4:18-19)
Kumzekeliso womhlwayeli uYesu waphinda watyhila ingozi nemiphumo yokuthanda imali nokukhohlisa kobutyebi..
Wathi uYesu, ukuba amaxhala eli hlabathi, inkohliso yobutyebi, neenkanuko zezinye izinto zingene, uwaminxe amazwi kaThixo.
Amakholwa angaweva kwaye awamkele amazwi kaThixo, kodwa ukuba uyakhathala (iziphazamiso) yeli hlabathi nokulukuhla kobutyebi neenkanuko zazo zonke ezinye izinto, balawule ubomi babo, amazwi kaThixo aya kuminxa kwaye angabi nasiqhamo kubomi bamakholwa (Funda kwakhona: Iindidi ezine zamakholwa)
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, amazwi kaThixo aya kusetyenziselwa inzuzo namakholwa njengentengiso
Iintloko zayo zigweba ngenxa yesicengo, ababingeleli bayo bafundise ngenjongo yomvuzo, nabaprofeti bayo bayavumisa ngenxa yemali: ukanti baya kuyame ngoYehova, kwaye utsho, Ngaba iNkosi ayikho phakathi kwethu?? akukho bubi unokusifikela. Ngako oko iZiyon iya kulinywa njengentsimi ngenxa yenu, iYerusalem ibe yimiwewe, yaza intaba yendlu yona iziganga zehlathi (UMika 3:11-12)
Xa amaKristu ethanda imali, baya kusebenzisa ivangeli namazwi kaThixo nomthandazo ondilisekileyo njengesixhobo sokuzuza ubutyebi.
Abashumayeli, abo bathanda imali bakhokelwa ngumoya wokubawa baze bajonge inzuzo. Basebenzisa kakubi ivangeli ukuze bazityebise.
Balugqala ukholo njengeshishini, kunye nebandla njengeqela, namakholwa ke ngokorhwebo.
Umsebenzi wabo asikokusindisa nokugcina imiphefumlo, nangona uninzi lwabo lusithi lwenjenjalo, kodwa injongo yabo kukwandisa inzuzo (Owu. UHezekile 22:27, 2 UPetros 2:1-4 (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba imiphefumlo isindisiwe, kutyiwa kwaye kugcinwe ecaweni?).
Ukufeza umsebenzi wabo, bakholose ngobulumko babo bomntu, ukuqonda, kunye nobuchule kunye nokusebenzisa ulwazi nobulumko behlabathi.
Abagxininisi kuYesu nakwintando yakhe, kodwa ngentando, iimfuno, kunye neminqweno yabantu kwaye asabele kuyo.
Ke ngoko banika ibandla utshintsho lwangoku, ukuze ingaphakathi lebandla libe nomtsalane ngakumbi kwiimvakalelo ze (okwenyama) indoda. Bahlengahlengisa inkonzo yecawa neentshumayelo kwintando neminqweno yomntu noko abantu bafuna ukukuva. Kwaye baququzelela imisebenzi emnandi kunye nohambo, ukutsala nokugcina abantu abaninzi kangangoko. Ngenxa yokuba abantu abaninzi bathetha imali eninzi kwaye ngoko bazuza ngakumbi.
Ngokusebenzisa iindlela zokungqiba, batsala iimvakalelo zabatyeleli becawa ukuba baqokelele imali eninzi kangangoko. Kuba ezi (okwenyama) abashumayeli abathembeli kuThixo ukuba uya kubabonelela, kodwa baxhomekeke ebantwini, ngubani omele abanike imali (Funda kwakhona: Imali, imali, imali).
Abaprofeti baprofeta ngemali
Baninzi abapostile benyama, abaprofeti, IVangeli, abefundisi, nootitshala, abasoloko bejonge i-engile kwaye bashumayela kuphela, thandaza, Isiprofetho, nokufundisa ngemali. Abathathi manyathelo ngaphambi kokuba babone imali. Kodwa abapostile abanjalo, abaprofeti, IVangeli, abefundisi, nabafundisi abamazi uThixo kwaye abemi enkonzweni Yakhe.
Ukuba abaprofeti baprofeta ngemali, ke ababangabaprofeti, koko baba ngabavumisi, abakwaxela kwangaphambili kuphela ikamva lemali.
Into ebuhlungu kukuba, ukuba amaKristu amaninzi bakholelwa le impambano kwaye bachithe (kakhulu) imali kwaba baprofeti bobuxoki ukuze bafumane isiprofeto ngobomi babo.
AmaKristu amaninzi ayawuhlawulela umthandazo, Isiprofetho, ioli yokuthambisa, amanzi angcwele, njl. (Funda kwakhona: Ngaba abantu bakaThixo batshatyalaliswa kukuswela ulwazi?)
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, ningasinyusi isishumi, ningenzi mnikelo
Umntu angamqhatha na uThixo?? Nindiqhathile noko. Ke nina nithi, Sikubhunyule ngantoni na?? Kwizishumi neminikelo. Niqalekisiwe ngesiqalekiso: ngokuba nindiqhathile, nkqu esi sizwe siphela. Ziziseni zonke izishumi kuvimba, ukuze kubekho ukudla endlwini, nindingqinele ngoku ngale nto, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ukuba andisayi kunivulela iifestile zezulu, anithululele intsikelelo, ukuba akuyi kuba nendawo eyaneleyo yokuyifumana. Ndoyikhalimela edlayo ngenxa yenu, kwaye akayi kutshabalalisa iziqhamo zomhlaba wakho; nomdiliya wakho awusayi kuwisa isiqhamo sawo phambi kwexesha, utsho uYehova wemikhosi (uMalaki 3:8-11)
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, aniyi kuphinda ninike. Uze ungabi sakhupha isishumi namnikelo, uze uwakhumbule amahlwempu. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba ukhokelwa kukubawa, woyiqwebela ingeniso yakho, uzityebise.
Amaxesha amaninzi ingxabano isetyenziswa ukuba amaKristu akasaphili phantsi komthetho kumnqophiso omdala. Ngoko ke amaKristu akanyanzelekanga ukuba akhuphe izishumi kwaye anikele. Kodwa le ngxoxo ichasene nezinye izivumo zabo. Kuba abantu abanjengoAbraham noSolomon kunye neZibhalo ezisuka kwiTestamente eNdala zihlala zisetyenziswa kwaye zikhankanywa ukuba bakhuthaze ukunyoluka kwabo nokuthanda imali kunye nokugxila kwabo kubutyebi.. Oku kunokusetyenziswa kwaye kucatshulwa ukufumana imali kuThixo, kodwa amazwi kaThixo akanakusetyenziswa ekunikeleni kuThixo.
Inxalenye yokufumana isasebenza, kodwa inxalenye yokunikela iphelelwe lixesha kwaye ayisasebenzi kumntu omtsha, ohlala kuMnqophiso oMtsha?
Ngokwenene asiphili phantsi komthetho kaMoses. Kodwa phambi komthetho kaMoses, UAbraham nabanye abaninzi banikela isishumi sengeniso yabo namazibulo kwingeniso yabo bebulela uThixo. Babenganyanzelekanga ukuba bakhuphe isishumi kodwa babefuna ukukhupha isishumi kwaye benze isishumi.
Ngokunikela bazinikele kuThixo kwaye bevuma uThixo njengoThixo neNkosi yobomi babo noMlungiseleli wabo..
Imali yayingabalulekanga, kodwa uThixo wayebalulekile kubo, ababonisa ngemisebenzi yabo
Ngaba amaKristu kufuneka akhuphe isishumi ebandleni?
AmaKristu akufuneki akhuphe isishumi ecaweni, ngokuba zonke izinto ziphuma kuThixo. Le yenye ingxabano esekwe kwicawa yokuqala kwaye icatshulwe ngamaKristu amaninzi ukuba akufuneki akhuphe isishumi kwaye anike iminikelo. Kodwa abantu, abathetha la mazwi angcwele badla ngokunika ngaphantsi 1 ipesenti (IZenzo 4:32-37).
Iyamangalisa, zingaphi iZibhalo ezikhutshwe emxholweni kwaye zingaphi izizathu kunye neengxoxo ezisetyenziswayo nezicatshulwa ngamaKristu ukuba arhoxe kwiimbopheleleko neembopheleleko zawo.
Xa umntu esala ukukhupha isishumi nokunikela iminikelo, ithetha okungakumbi ngomntu kunamazwi omntu.
Ukuba amaKristu ebengakhokelwa luthando lwemali nokubawa, kodwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, babenikela ngezishumi baze banikele neminikelo, kwaye iicawa ezininzi azinakuba neengxaki zemali kwaye zenza inkcitho kwaye ziyaqeshiswa okanye zithengiselwe imibutho yehlabathi (iiarhente, Imibutho).
Wonke umntu, namahlwempu kwanangezityebi, kufuneka ubuncinane banike isishumi sengeniso yabo ngenxa yothando nombulelo kuThixo, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba benyanzelekile kodwa ngenxa yokuba befuna.
Ewe, nokuba umntu, ongafumani nto ingako kwaye mhlawumbi uyasokola ukuze aphile. Ngokuqinisekileyo loo mntu ufanele anikele, ukuze umntu abonise ngesenzo sakhe, ukuba unombulelo kwaye uthembele kuThixo kungekhona ngemali yakhe. UThixo uya kuyibona kwaye abonelele, ngenxa yokuba uThixo unguMboneleli kwabo bamthandayo nabamoyikayo baze ngenxa yoko bathobele amazwi akhe baze basebenzise amazwi akhe ebomini babo.
Umhlolokazi olihlwempu etempileni, owanikela ngayo yonke into anayo, wabonisa ngesenzo sakhe indlela awayemthanda ngayo uThixo nendlela awayexabiseke ngayo uThixo kuye, oko kukuthi yonke into (Phawula 12:43-44, ULuka 21:1-4).
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, uya kumkhanyela uYesu
Ngokungafaniyo noYuda, omnye kaYesu’ abafundi. UYude wayethanda imali yaye olu thando lwalulawula ubomi bakhe. Ukuthanda kwakhe imali kwakungaphezu kothando awayenalo ngoYesu.
Kuba wayeyithanda imali ngaphezu koYesu, UYude wamngcatsha uYesu waza wathengisa uYesu ngamaqhosha esilivere angamashumi amathathu kwiinkokeli zonqulo zeNdlu kaSirayeli.
UYude wayecinga ukuba isenzo sakhe siya kumenza abe sisityebi aze onwabe, Ke uYuda walahlwa.
Ukuthanda kwakhe imali nesenzo sakhe asizange sibe nanzuzo kwaphela. Kodwa isenzo sakhe esonakeleyo, ephuma kwintliziyo yakhe eyonakeleyo, wamkhokelela ekufeni uYuda.
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, uya kumlukuhla uMoya oyiNgcwele
Kwaba njalo nakuAnaniyas noSafira, ababengamalungu ebandla lokuqala. Babeguqukile (ngenxa yamehlo abantu) kwaye wabhaptizwa kwaye kubonakala ukuba, abapostile babebeke izandla phezu kwabo ukuze babhaptizwe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
Kodwa ukuthanda imali kwalawula ezintliziyweni zabo kwaza kwalawula ubomi buka-Ananiyas noSafira, apho uSathana wayenamandla phezu kobomi babo.
UAnaniyas noSafira babekhokelwa kukubawa kwaye bacinga ukuba banokumqhatha uMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye ke ngoko baxokisa uMoya oyiNgcwele.. Kuba babengamazi uThixo kwaye bengamoyiki uYehova, babecinga ukuba banokuzibaleka ubuxoki babo baze bazityebise. Kodwa isenzo sabo asizange sibancede nganto, mabayeke bafe (IZenzo 5:1-11)
Xa imali iba nguThixo wakho, aniyi kuba nako ukumelana nophawu
Kwaye njengoYuda, UHananiyas, kunye noSafira, kukho amaKristu amaninzi anothando lwemali olukhulu kunoYesu, apho uSathana elawula ezintliziyweni zabo kwaye enegunya phezu kobomi babo.
Yaye ngenxa yokuba bathanda imali yaye bathanda imali ngaphezu kokuthanda kwabo uThixo uBawo, UYesu uNyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele, abayi kuba nako ukumelana nophawu oluya kufika (ISityhilelo 13:16-17).
Abayi kukwazi ukuhlala bethembekile kuYesu baze bahlale bemi elukholweni bethobela amazwi kaThixo, Othe walumkisa ngeLizwi watyhila iziphumo, kodwa baya koyiswa phantsi kwengcinezelo yehlabathi nomchasi-Kristu.
Kukho amaKristu, abacinga ukuba bangalufumana uphawu, baguquke emva koko, ukuze bangaliwa lihlabathi kwaye bakhutshelwe ngaphandle eluntwini, kodwa ungaliwa nguThixo ngomhla woMgwebo uze ukhutshelwe ngaphandle kwezulu elitsha nomhlaba omtsha uphoswe edikeni lomlilo elingunaphakade..
Bafuna ukuba ngabahlobo behlabathi nokuba ngabahlobo bakaThixo. Kodwa ayinakwenzeka!
Nabani na ofuna ukuba ngumhlobo wehlabathi kwaye abe ngowehlabathi uya kuthabatha uphawu lwerhamncwa kwaye ahlale eyinxalenye yoluntu kwaye aphile ngobutyebi ngaphandle kwentshutshiso..
Kodwa abo, abangabahlobo bakaThixo nabangabakaYesu bekhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, baya kulucekisa uphawu nemiphumela yalo.
Ukhetho olwenzayo luxhomekeke kuthando olulawula entliziyweni yakho nolulawulayo ebomini bakho.
Imali mayingabi nguthixo wakho, kodwa uYesu makabe nguThixo wenu
Gcina ubomi bakho bukhululekile ekuthandeni imali, yaneliswani zizinto eninazo, kuba etshilo, Andiyi kuze ndikushiye, ndingayi kuze ndikutyeshele. Ngoko sinokutsho ngokuzithemba, “UYehova ungumncedi wam;; Andizukuyoyika; angandenza ntoni na umntu?” (Hebhere 13:5 ESV)
Ngoko ke (ukuba kuyangena), guqukani, malingabi saba nguthixo wenu. Musa ukukhokelwa yinkanuko (ukubawa) nenkohliso yobutyebi, kodwa uYesu makabe nguThixo wobomi bakho akhokelwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye waneliswe. Kuba ukuhlonela uThixo, kundawonye nokwanela, kusekeleze inzuzo enkulu.
Vumela uYesu abe luthando lobomi bakho endaweni yemali
Beka ithemba lakho kuYesu kwaye umlandele kwaye uzakhe kolona kholo lwakho lungcwele, ukuze uqole ngokomoya kwaye womelele ngokomoya, ukuze nibe nako ukuzibona iinkohliso zehlabathi, nibe nako ukuxhathisa izilingo, ingcinezelo, nokutshutshiswa kwehlabathi, nophawu lwerhamncwa. Kwaye njengoYesu, akusayi kukha uqubude kuye umphathi weli hlabathi, USathana, akayi kuba nanto kuwe, kodwa uya kuhlala umile eLizwini kwaye uhlale uthembekile kuYesu kude kube sekupheleni.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
