Ngenkathi ubhala okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi kwangaphambilini, iNkosi yakhombisa indima yomphathi wezikhali nokuthi le ndima ibhekisa kanjani endimeni yethu njengamakholwa nabalandeli bakaJesu Kristu. Ake sibheke ukuthi iBhayibheli lithini ngempilo yodibi nezici zodibi lwezikhali. Kusho ukuthini ukuba umthwali wezikhali zikaJesu Kristu?
Ithini indima yomphathi wezikhali?
Udibi lwezikhali lusemsebenzini wenkosi yalo. Uphatha izikhali zakhe, enze njengokusho kwenkosi yakhe. Umthwali wezikhali uyazi, ukuthi ungaphansi kwenkosi yakhe. Akabalulekile, kodwa inkosi yakhe ibalulekile. Akukhona ngentando yakhe nokuthi yini ayifunayo, kodwa konke okufunwa yinkosi yakhe.
Nakuba umthwali wezikhali engaphansi kwenkosi yakhe, udlala indima ebalulekile empini. UJehova nodibi lwezikhali zakhe, yilowo nalowo unomsebenzi wakhe wokulwa.
UJonathani wakhuphuka ngezandla zakhe nangezinyawo zakhe, nodibi lwezikhali zakhe emva kwakhe: bawa phambi kukaJonathani; nodibi lwezikhali zakhe lwabulala emva kwakhe(1 Samuweli 14:13)
Yiziphi izici zomuntu ophethe izikhali?
Isici sokuqala sodibi ukuthi umthwali wezikhali ulandela inkosi yakhe. Nomaphi lapho inkosi yakhe eya khona, umthwali wezikhali zakhe uyamlandela futhi ngeke asuke ohlangothini lwenkosi yakhe.
Isici sesibili somphathi wezikhali ukuthi umthwali wezikhali uhlala njalo elalela inkosi yakhe, kuzo zonke izinto.
Ku 1 Samuweli 14, sifunda ngempi, phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli namaFilisti.
UJonathani waphuma ebuthweni le 600 wayala udibi lwezikhali zakhe ukuba luhambe nalo, lulwe namaFilisti.
UJonathani wayala udibi lwezikhali zakhe ukuba lufike, udibi lwezikhali zakhe lwahle lwalalela inkosi yalo.
Umphathi wezikhali akazange acabange ngakho. Akazange aphikisane nenkosi yakhe futhi akazange ayibuze. Akazange athi kuJonathani, “Jonathan, uqinisekile? Ingabe lokhu kuyinto efanele ukuyenza? Kungani singalindi kuze kuhambe abanye, ukuze sonke sihambe ndawonye sihlasele amaFilisti?”
Cha, umphathi wezikhali akakushongo lokho. Udibi lwezikhali lwavuma, lwalalela inkosi yalo, lwahamba nalo. Ngoba wayethembele ngokuphelele enkosini yakhe. Udibi lwezikhali lwalukwazi ukuthi inkosi yalo yayinolwazi, ukuhlakanipha, nokuqondisisa, ukwenza izinqumo ezifanele.
UJonathani wayala udibi lwakhe kabili ukuba lufike. Zombili izikhathi udibi lwakhe lwalalela uJonathani futhi lweza.
Okwesibili, uJonathani wayala udibi lwezikhali zakhe ukuba luhambe nalo, Kusho umthwali wezikhali, “Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho: phenduka wena; bheka, nginawe ngokwenhliziyo yakho.”
Umthwali wezikhali uyalalela futhi alandele inkosi yakhe
Noma yini uJonathani anquma ukuyenza, umthwali wezikhali zakhe walalela, wamlandela. UJonathani wazisa udibi lwezikhali zakhe amacebo akhe futhi wamenza ukuba ahlanganyele emsebenzini wakhe.
Lapho uJonathani ekhuphukela kumaFilisti, umthwali wezikhali zakhe wamlandela, wahlala emthunzini wakhe. UJonathani wayenegunya, zonke izinsuku udibi lwakhe luhlezi emthunzini walo, wahlanganyela naye leligunya. Kodwa lapho nje udibi wayezoshiya isithunzi sakhe, wayezoba yedwa futhi alahlekelwe igunya lakhe.
Umphathi wezikhali ngeke esaba namandla, ngoba wayeludibi lwezikhali hatshi inkosi.
Kwabe sekufika isikhathi esihle kakhulu sokubambisana kwabo, okungukuthi, ngesikhathi uJonathani nodibi lwakhe behlasela amaFilisti futhi banqoba. AmaFilisti awa phambi kukaJonathani nodibi lwezikhali zakhe bewabulala emva kwakhe, bawabulala amaFilisti.. Ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwabo, ngamunye wayenomsebenzi wakhe futhi ndawonye bathola ukunqoba. (Funda futhi: Ukukholwa, isenzo, kanye nokunqoba).
Uhlu lwezimpawu zomphathi wezikhali
Endabeni kaJonathani nodibi lwezikhali zakhe, sibona izici ezilandelayo zomphathi wezikhali:
- Impilo yomphathi wezikhali yayinjalo enkonzweni wenkosi yakhe
- Yena walalela inkosi yakhe
- Yena othenjwayo inkosi yakhe
- Yena kulandele inkosi yakhe
- Yena wahlala ethunzini wenkosi yakhe
- Yena uwufezile umsebenzi wakhe phakathi nomsebenzi wabo
Kusho ukuthini ukuba umthwali wezikhali zikaJesu Kristu?
Uma ukholwa kuJesu Kristu, bazalwa ngokusha kuye, sebeyisidalwa esisha (umuntu omusha), futhi wenza uJesu iNkosi yokuphila kwakho, ungumdibi wezikhali zikaJesu Kristu.
NjengoJonathani nodibi lwezikhali zakhe bahlanganiswa futhi basebenza ndawonye, uhlanganiswe noJesu Kristu futhi usebenze kanye Naye.
Bonke ababungazi, ezulwini nasemhlabeni, zibekwe ngaphansi kukaJesu’ amale. UJesu unalo lonke igunya emazulwini nasemhlabeni! (Oh. Mathewu 28:18, Kwabase-Efesu 1:19-23, AbaseKolose 2:10, amaHebheru 2:8).
UJesu weza eGameni likaYise futhi wahlala ethunzini laKhe, ngokukhuluma amazwi kanye nokwenza amazwi uYise ayemtshele ukuthi awakhulume futhi awenze. Wahlala elalela uYise kwaze kwaba sekufeni.
UJesu waqeda umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ophelele wokuhlenga abantu emhlabeni, ngokufa Kwakhe esiphambanweni.
Esiphambanweni, UJesu wathatha zonke izono, ukufa, nobubi bomhlaba phezu kwakhe. Wathwala inhlawulo yesono engukufa, futhi wangena hades. Ngemva kwezinsuku ezintathu, UJesu wavuka njengoVictor kwabafileyo.
Ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga nangegazi Lakhe, Wasibuyisela isikhundla (isimo) womuntu owile futhi wabuyisela umuntu kuNkulunkulu.
UJesu wathatha izihluthulelo (wegunya) kuDeveli futhi wakunika amandla okubusa kanye naye, egunyeni Lakhe ezindaweni zasezulwini. (Funda futhi: Ingabe uJesu uyibophile indoda enamandla, noma kumele ubophe indoda enamandla?).
Umthwali wezikhali yisisebenzi seNkosi yakhe
Konke kuqala ngokunikela ngempilo yakho. UJesu wakusho lokhu kuwo wonke amavangeli amane:
UJesu wabe esethi kubafundi bakhe, Uma noma yimuphi umuntu ezongilandela, azidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, futhi ungilandele. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho: futhi noma ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uyakuthola (Mathewu 16:24-25)
Wasebizela kuye isixuku kanye nabafundi bakhe, Wathi kubo, Noma ubani ozoza emva Kwami, azidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, futhi ungilandele. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami levangeli, yona iyoyisindisa (Maka 8:34-35)
Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho: kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami, yona iyoyisindisa (Luka 9:24)
Othanda ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; nozonda ukuphila kwakhe kuleli zwe uyakukulondela ukuphila okuphakade. Uma umuntu eNgikhonza, akangilandele; nalapho ngikhona, izakuba khona inceku yami: uba umuntu engikhonza, yena uBaba wami uyakumdumisa (UJohane 12:25-26)
Umdibi wezikhali zikaJesu udela ukuphila kwakhe
Awukwazi ukukhonza uJesu ngaphandle kwakhot udela impilo yakho. Kungani kungenjalo? Ngoba ngeke ukwazi ukulandela uJesu. Umlandeli ulandela umuntu. Lapho ufuna ukulandela intando yakho futhi wenze okujabulisa wena, khona-ke awukwazi ukulandela omunye umuntu. Ngoba umuntu ofuna ukumlandela nguwe kuphela.
Angeke kube namakhosi amabili empilweni yakho. Munye kuphela inkosi nomlandeli oyedwa.
Lapho unquma ukulandela uJesu Kristu, kusho ukuthi kufanele ulahle intando yakho; okwakho'-sibili‘’, futhi unikele impilo yakho yonke Kuye futhi uzinikele Kuye futhi ube yinceku Yakhe. (Funda futhi: Ukulandela uJesu kuzokubiza konke).
Umdibi wezikhali zikaJesu uyalalela iNkosi yakhe
Lapho udela ukuphila kwakho futhi ukhonza uJesu Kristu, kusho ukuthi wena Mthanda futhi uzomlalela futhi wenze imiyalo yaKhe. Akunandaba ukuthi ufuna ukwenzani, lokho okuzwayo, noma ukuthi ucabangani. Kodwa konke kumayelana nalokho uJesu akufunayo nalokho uJesu akucabangayo nokuthi iZwi lithini.
Njengoba nje uJesu enza intando kaYise futhi wahamba ngemithetho Yakhe, kanjalo niyakwenza intando kaJesu futhi ningene Imiyalo Yakhe.
Jkusho u-esus, Uma ningithanda Mina, gcina imiyalo Yami (UJohane 14:15)
Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, Niyakugcina Uthando lwami; Njengoba nje ngigcine imiyalo kababa wami, futhi bahlale othandweni lwakhe (UJohane 15:10)
Uma umuntu eNgikhonza, akangilandele; nalapho ngikhona, izakuba khona inceku yami: uba umuntu engikhonza, yena uBaba wami uyakumdumisa (UJohane 12:26)
Umthwali wezikhali uthembele eNkosini yakhe
Ungamlandela uJesu kuphela uma ukholwa Kuye futhi uthembele ngokuphelele eNkosini. Ukukholwa kuyisisekelo. Lapho kukhona ukungabaza enhliziyweni yakho, akunakwenzeka ukulalela nokulandela uJesu futhi uhambe ekukholweni.
Uma usho, ukuthi uyakholwa, khona-ke kufanele ukhombise lokho ngokuhamba ngokukholwa nangokuncika Kuye. Ngoba ungasho ukuthi uyakholwa, kodwa amazwi nezenzo zakho kukhombisa ukuthi uyakholelwa ngempela kuJesu nasemazwini Akhe noma cha.
Thembela kuJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho; ungenciki kokwakho ukuqonda (Izaga 3:5)
Lapho umethemba futhi unganciki kokwakho ukuqonda, khona nizokwazi ukumlandela.
Umthwali wezikhali ulandela iNkosi yakhe
UJesu uyala ukuthi umlandele. Ngakho-ke, kufanele umlandele Yena kanye nentando Yakhe, esikhundleni sokulandela intando yakho. Ukunikile iZwi laKhe. Manje, konke kumayelana nalokho okwenzayo ngamazwi Akhe.
Lapho uthatha isiphambano sakho nsuku zonke, okusho ukuthi uhambisa intando nenyama yakho Kuye (iZwi), Intando Yakhe futhi simlandele, uyakuba ngumdibi wezikhali zakhe.
Wasesithi kubo bonke, Uma noma yimuphi umuntu ezongilandela, azidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe imihla ngemihla, futhi ungilandele (Luka 9:23)
Umthwali wezikhali zikaJesu uhlala emthunzini weNkosi yakhe
Inqobo nje uma uhlezi kuJesu Kristu futhi uhlala ethunzini Lakhe, uhamba egunyeni Lakhe futhi uvikelekile.
Kodwa uma nje ushiya isithunzi saKhe futhi uhambe indlela yakho, ngeke ube nagunya phezu kohulumeni, amandla, ababusi bobumnyama balomhlaba, nobubi obungokomoya ezindaweni eziphakemeyo.
Kunezithunzi ezimbili ongaphila kuzo. Ungahlala ku umthunzi woPhezukonke kumbe ithunzi lokufa.
Ithunzi lokufa
Izwe lakwaZebuloni, kanye nezwe lakwaNafetali, ngendlela yolwandle, ngaphesheya kweJordani, iGalile labezizwe; Abantu ababehlezi ebumnyameni babona ukukhanya okukhulu; futhi kwabahlezi esifundeni nasethunzini lokufa ukukhanya kuye kwaphumela (Mathewu 4:15-16)
Isithunzi soPhezukonke
Muhle kangakanani umusa wakho, O kuhle! ngalokho abantwana babantu babeka ithemba labo emthunzini wamaphiko akho (Amahubo 36:7)
Ohlezi ekusithekeni koPhezukonke uyakuhlala emthunzini kaSomandla (Amahubo 91:1)
Ngokuba kuhlezi kuye ukugcwala konke kobuNkulunkulu ngokomzimba. Futhi nina niphelele kuYe, okuyinhloko yazo zonke izinduna kanye namandla (AbaseKolose 2:9-10)
Uma nje uhlala kuJesu Kristu; iZwi, uzohamba ethunzini laKhe negunya laKhe. Lapho uhamba egunyeni Lakhe, uyakuba nokubusa phezu kwamabutho onke. (Funda futhi: Hambani ebukhosini ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukunikeze wena).
Umphathi wezikhali unomsebenzi okufanele awufeze
Bheka, Ngininika amandla okunyathela izinyoka kanye nezinhlamvu, nangawo wonke amandla esitha: Futhi akukho lutho oluzokulimaza (Luka 10:19)
UJesu wawuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni, Wayibopha eqinile; usathane. UJesu wamnqoba udeveli esiphambanweni, Futhi ngokuvuka Kwakhe, Wathatha izihluthulelo zegunya wabuya kuye.
Kuwo wonke umuntu, okholwa Kuye futhi wadela ukuphila kwakhe ukuze akhonze futhi alandele uJesu, Unikile amandla (isiphathimandla) phezu kwawo wonke amandla esitha futhi akukho lutho oluyomlimaza nganoma iyiphi indlela.
UJesu wawuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe futhi manje uhlezi phezu isandla sokunene sikaNkulunkulu uBaba.
UJesu uyibophile eqinile, usathane. Manje, kuwumsebenzi wethu ukumosha umuzi futhi sikhulule abantu.
Akekho ongangena endlini yesiqhwaga, futhi aphange impahla yakhe, ngaphandle kokuthi abophe kuqala isiqhwaga; khona-ke uyakuphanga indlu yakhe (Maka 3:27)
Bobabili uJonathani nodibi lwakhe babenomsebenzi okwakumelwe bawenze. UJonathani akazange azithathele le misebenzi emibili, ukuze umphathi wezikhali angenzi lutho. Cha, amaFilisti awa phambi kukaJonathani nodibi lwezikhali zakhe ukuba babulale amaFilisti.
UJesu ukunike umsebenzi okufanele uwufeze
Nawe unomsebenzi wakho okufanele uwufeze. UJesu unikeze wena kanye nabo bonke abaphethe izikhali Zakhe umsebenzi olandelayo:
UJesu weza wakhuluma kubo, ethi, Wonke amandla anikwe Mina ezulwini nasemhlabeni. Ngakho hambani, futhi nifundise izizwe zonke, Babhapathiza Ngegama Likababa, neyeNdodana, kanye loMoya oNgcwele: nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho: futhi, lo, nginani njalo, kuze kube sekupheleni kwezwe. Amen (Mathewu 28:18-20).
Okholwayo abhapathizwe uyakusindiswa; kodwa ongakholwayo uyakulahlwa. Nalezizibonakaliso ziyakubalandela abakholwayo; Ngegama Lami bayokhipha amademoni; bayakukhuluma ngezilimi ezintsha; bayakubamba izinyoka; uma bephuza okubulalayo, akuyikubalimaza; bayakubeka izandla phezu kwabagulayo, futhi bazolulama (Maka 16:16-18)
Awukwazi ukuthandaza kuNkulunkulu futhi ulindele ukuthi athathe izintambo futhi enze ingxenye yakho; umsebenzi wakho. Ukube kwakunjalo, pho senzani sonke lapha emhlabeni? Ngoba lokho kungasho, ukuthi awusadingeki wenze noma yini.
Awukwazi ukuphendulela umsebenzi wakho Kuye futhi ulindele Yena ukuthi afeze lokho okufanele ukwenze. Kungumsebenzi wakho ukufeza umsebenzi uJesu awunika wona. UJesu uyenzile indima Yakhe, manje kufanele wenze ingxenye yakho. Lokho kusho isenzo!
Inqobo nje uma impilo yakho isenkonzweni kaJesu Kristu futhi uzinikela Kuye futhi umlalele, methembe, Mlandele, futhi uhlale kuye, lapho-ke uzokwazi ukufeza umsebenzi wakho futhi ufeze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
