AmaKristu kufanele abe amadodana kaNkulunkulu angamaqhawe
UJesu wayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu yokuqala, Owahamba emhlabeni, wakhuluma ngesibindi iqiniso likaNkulunkulu. Emva kokufa nokuvuka Kwakhe kanye nokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele, amadodana kaNkulunkulu amaningi, abazalelwa kuye, balandela isibonelo saKhe.
UPetru waba ngowokuqala, owasukuma ngokuzethemba nangesibindi, ngemva kokuba eseyindodana kaNkulunkulu, ngobhapathizo lukaMoya oNgcwele. UPetru wakhuluma ngesibindi ezinkulungwaneni zamadoda, ababekhona eJerusalema emnyameni Usuku lwePentekosti. Washumayela ngoJesu Kristu futhi wabizela umuntu ekuphendukeni. UPetru akabange esazifihla, njengoba enza ngaphambili, lapho esenguye Indoda endala futhi wakuphika uJesu. Kodwa ngoba uMoya oNgcwele wawuphila ngaphakathi kuYe, Wakhuluma ngesibindi futhi engenawo amahloni ngevangeli likaJesu Kristu.
Hhayi ngisho, lapho yena noJohane bethunjwa, beyiswa phambi komkhandlu nomkhandlu wabayala ukuba bangabe besashumayela futhi bafundise ebandleni. Igama likaJesu. Kodwa uPetru noJohane abakwazanga ukuwuvala umlomo, futhi uthule, baqhubeka beshumayela futhi beletha umbuso kaNkulunkulu kubantu (IzEnzo 4:1-22).
Ngisho no-Stephan, owayegcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wakhuluma ngesibindi futhi wayengenawo amahloni ngevangeli kanye namazwi anzima kaNkulunkulu, eyayiqukethe ukuhlakanipha nokuphila Kwakhe. Akazange alungise iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, ukuze asindise impilo yakhe, kodwa wahlala ethembekile kuye kwaze kwaba usuku afa ngalo.
UStephan wayengasindisa ukuphila kwakhe, ngokuvala umlomo, nangokukhuluma amazwi, ukuthi abantu bafuna ukuzwa, futhi mhlawumbe waze wathola inhlonipho nodumo kubantu. Wayengasindisa ukuphila kwakhe, ngokuzivikela phambi komphristi omkhulu, futhi aphike uJesu Kristu okwesikhashana. Futhi uma umpristi omkhulu ethanda ukumkhulula, ubengakhombisa ukuzisola kuNkulunkulu acele intethelelo abuyele kuYe, njengoba kwenza amakholwa amaningi namuhla.
Kodwa uStephan akazange akwenze lokho. UStephan wayenjalo azalwe kabusha futhi egcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele. Impilo yakhe entsha yaba nguJesu Kristu. UJesu wayehlala ngaphakathi kuye, yingakho engazange athule futhi agcine umlomo wakhe, kodwa kwakumele akhulume iqiniso. Esikhundleni sokuzivikela phambi komphristi omkhulu, wafakaza ngoNkulunkulu uSomandla futhi isithembiso sikaJesu Kristu uMesiya futhi wabhekana nabezwayo ngokuziphatha kwabo okunesono nezenzo zabo, futhi wabasola ngokumelana kwabo noMoya oNgcwele, njengoba kwenza oyise. UStephan wafakaza ngoJesu Kristu nangenxa yobufakazi bakhe, wabulawa. Ngisho nalapho ekhandwa ngamatshe futhi wabona amazulu evulekile futhi wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu noJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, akashongo nje kuphela: “Nkosi Jesu, yemukela umoya wami”, kodwa futhi wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, ngaphambi nje kokuba afe: "Nkosi, ungababaleli lesi sono.
UPawulu futhi waqhubeka eshumayela futhi eletha ivangeli likaJesu Kristu kanye neqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu, naphezu kwakho konke ukuphikiswa nokushushiswa komuntu. UPawulu waxwayisa futhi wabhekana nabangcwele ngendlela ababephila ngayo, futhi wabalungisa futhi wababizela ekuphendukeni kanye nokususwa kwezono. UPawulu wayengakwesabi ukulahlekelwa abantu, ngoba wayazi, Ngaye abizwa futhi wamiswa futhi emi enkonzweni kaYena.
Futhi kwakukhona amadodana amaningi kaNkulunkulu, owahlala ethembekile kuJesu, ngokuma eZwini nokushumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu namazwi kaNkulunkulu. Abazange baphambuke eZwini, kodwa waqhubeka ekhuluma iZwi likaNkulunkulu, langenxa yobufakazi babo, abaningi babulawa (Heb 11:32-40).
AmaKristu amaningi ahlehla futhi alungisa amazwi kaNkulunkulu
Ngeshwa, lesi simo sengqondo nesimo sengqondo siyashoda ezimpilweni zamakholwa amaningi. Amakholwa amaningi awagcwaliswanga ngoMoya oNgcwele, ungenzi’ ube nolwazi lweZwi, futhi ungaphili ngeZwi, njengoba kwenza amakholwa asendulo. Besaba ukuma eZwini futhi banamahloni okukhuluma iqiniso levangeli likaJesu Kristu neqiniso likaNkulunkulu kubantu., ngakho-ke benza isivumelwano nomhlaba.
Esikhundleni sokwesaba uNkulunkulu, banokwesaba abantu. Besaba ukuthi abantu ababazungezile bangase bacabangeni ngabo nokuthi bazothini, futhi bayesaba imibono yabo. Besaba ukwaliwa kanye nokulimaza kanye/noma ngisho nokulahlekelwa abantu, ngokukhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu. Futhi akuyona into abayifunayo. Cha, bafuna ukuthandwa nokuthandwa nokwamukelwa abantu ababazungezile. Ngenxa yokwesaba ukwenqatshwa noma ukushushiswa balungisa amazwi kaNkulunkulu, kulokho abantu abafuna ukukuzwa.
Bakhuluma nabahle kuphela, izithembiso ezinhle ezivela eZwini, ezigxile ku ukuchuma okwenyama, kodwa bazishiya kude izidingo ngakho bayacasha futhi bathule mayelana nezingxenye ezibhekene namazwi kaNkulunkulu alukhuni, ababiza umuntu ekuphendukeni, ukususwa kwezono kanye nokuguqulwa kwempilo.
Ngokuziphatha kwabo kobuntu nangokuqhubeka becabangela imizwelo nemizwa yabantu, bavala amehlo abo kuzo zonke lezozinto, eziphambene neZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi Intando yakhe, futhi ubavumele futhi ubabekezelele. Bathule badedele labo abajwayele ukuhamba ezonweni, baqhubeke ezonweni zabo.
Kodwa lokhu kuziphatha kuyafakaza, ukuthi ikholwa alibekanga phansi impilo yalo kuJesu Kristu, kodwa usekhona futhi uyaphila. Ngoba uma umuntu engukufa, khona-ke ukuziphatha nezenzo zabanye ngeke kusamthinta umuntu. Kungakho uJesu waqhubeka futhi yingakho abaphostoli baqhubeka, ngokushumayela nokuletha uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kubantu, ngoba babefile enyameni, ngakho kabangakho ukuziphatha komuntu, noma izenzo zabo, yayingabavimba ekwenzeni lokho ababebizelwe ukukwenza, futhi lokho kwakuwukushumayela iqiniso nokwenza laziwe intando kaNkulunkulu kubantu. Babenenhloso eyodwa kuphela futhi okwakuwukujabulisa nokuphakamisa uNkulunkulu, ngokuhamba ekulungeni ngokulalela iZwi Lakhe nokuphila ngokwentando nokumelela Kwakhe, ukushumayela nokuletha uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kulo mhlaba.
Kodwa amakholwa amaningi anamuhla ayakucasukela ukutshelwa okufanele akwenze. Abafuni ukuzithoba eZwini futhi abavumeli iZwi noMoya oNgcwele ukuba abahole futhi ubatshele ukuthi benzeni.. Ngakho-ke, abaningi abaphili ngokweZwi futhi abasebona abenzi beZwi, kodwa baholwa yimizwa yabo, imizwelo, okutholakele kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho futhi utshele abanye lokho abakucabangayo nabakuzwayo. Kodwa uma unayo wadela ukuphila kwakho kuJesu Kristu, akusekho ngawe nokuthi ucabangani, ukuzwa noma ukufuna, kodwa konke kumayelana nalokho iZwi; UJesu uthi. Ngoba amazwi kaJesu kuphela, okuyiqiniso elihlukanisa umoya nomphefumulo libuyisele abantu ekuphendukeni, futhi enze amakholwa alikhumule ikhehla futhi gqoka umuntu omusha, futhi ungene ekuphumuleni kukaNkulunkulu futhi uthole ukuphila okuphakade.
Ingabe unesibindi sokukhuluma iZwi likaNkulunkulu?
Abaphostoli nabafundi bakaJesu Kristu bokuqala bagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele ngakho-ke bakwazi ukushumayela iqiniso likaJesu Kristu namazwi kaNkulunkulu ngesibindi.. Ngenxa yesibindi sabo nokushumayela iqiniso, babengemukelwa njalo ngemfudumalo futhi babengathandwa yiwo wonke umuntu.
AmaKristu amaningi kwadingeka akhokhele ukholo nothando lwawo ngoJesu Kristu futhi abulawa. Kodwa bonke babefana ngento eyodwa, okungukuthi, bathanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke futhi bahlala bethembekile kuJesu Kristu futhi bema okholweni. Abazange bayekethise futhi abazange baphambuke eZwini likaNkulunkulu, ngenxa yakho konke ukugxekwa nokushushiswa kwabantu.
Kuthiwani ngawe? Uyalazi iZwi futhi ume eZwini? Ingabe unesibindi sokukhuluma iZwi likaNkulunkulu, njengamanye amadodana kaNkulunkulu? Noma…
