UNkulunkulu ungumlilo oqothulayo
Ziqapheleni, funa nikhohlwe isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, eyakwenza nawe, akwenzele isithombe esibaziweyo, noma umfanekiso wanoma yini, uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akwenqabele khona. Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ungumlilo oqothulayo, ngisho noNkulunkulu onomona (Duteronomi 4:23-24)
Ngakho-ke samukela uMbuso ongenakunyakaziswa, asibe nomusa, esingakhonza ngakho uNkulunkulu ngokwamukelekayo ngenhlonipho nangokwesaba uNkulunkulu: Ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu ungumlilo oqothulayo (IsiHebheru 12:28-29)
UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu ongcwele nolungile. Lithi iZwi iNkosi uJehova ingumlilo oqothulayo osebenza nobubi; ububi nezono zomuntu. Umlilo unezincazelo eziningi ezingokomfanekiso eBhayibhelini, okuhlanganisa ubungcwele nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
UNkulunkulu wayebathanda abantu Bakhe futhi wembula intando Yakhe nesimo Sakhe kubo ngokunikeza umthetho kuMose. IZwi laKhe lehlukanisa abantu baKhe kwabeZizwe, ababengabezwe.
Inqobo nje uma begcina umthetho, abantu bakaNkulunkulu bazithiba ekuhlanganyeleni emisebenzini yabezizwe, okwakukubi emehlweni eNkosi.
UNkulunkulu wayehola abantu Bakhe emini ngensika yefu futhi ebusuku ngensika yomlilo. God protected His people and went before them as a consuming fire and brought the pagan nations down and delivered them into their hands.
God delivered them into their hands, not because of the righteousness of His people but because of the wickedness of the pagan nations. And so God was a consuming fire for the Gentiles (Oh. Eksodusi 13:21, Duteronomi 9:1-6).
Kodwa ngeshwa, God’s people didn’t always listen to His voice. Many times they deviated from Imiyalo Yakhe and statutes and did all those wicked things, which the Lord God had forbidden His people. And so His people engaged in the evil works, okwakuyisinengiso kuNkulunkulu
Since God is a God of His Word, He dealt with the proud and rebels of His people, who had become His adversaries through their works, according to His Word (Oh. Isaya 30:27-30, Jeremiya 4:4).
Ngokuba indlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda ningikhohlisile kakhulu, isho iNkosi. Baye baphika iNkosi, wathi, Akusiye Yena; futhi ngeke kusehlele okubi; asiyikubona inkemba nendlala: Futhi abaprofethi bayoba umoya, lelizwi kalikho kubo: kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kubo. Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti, Ngokuba nikhuluma leli zwi, bheka, Ngiyakwenza amazwi Ami abe umlilo emlonyeni wakho, lababantu yinkuni, futhi liyobashwabadela (Jeremiya 5:11-14)
Izwi Lami alinjengomlilo na?? isho iNkosi; nanjengesando esiphahlaza idwala? (Jeremiya 23:29)
IZwi likaNkulunkulu linguMlilo oqothulayo
Kodwa ngubani ongahlala usuku lokuza kwaKhe? futhi ngubani oyakuma lapho ebonakala? ngoba unjengomlilo womcwengi, futhi njengabahlanzi’ insipho: Uyohlala njengomcwengi nomcwengi wesiliva: uyakuhlambulula amadodana kaLevi, futhi uwahlanze njengegolide nesiliva, ukuze banikele eNkosini umnikelo ngokulunga. Khona umnikelo wakwaJuda nowaseJerusalema uyakuba mnandi kuJehova, njengasezinsukwini zasendulo, futhi njengaseminyakeni yangaphambili. (UMalaki 3:2-4)
uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, liyiZwi eliphilayo kanye nokubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu, owangena isimo somuntu emhlabeni.
Njengoba uNkulunkulu wayengumlilo oqothulayo, ngakho noJesu wayengumlilo oqothulayo. Ngoba uJesu washumayela iqiniso nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
UJesu wakhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu, wabiza abantu ukuphenduka futhi wabonakalisa uMbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Lapho uJesu edalula amanga kanye nemisebenzi kadeveli ezimpilweni zabantu futhi wababhubhisa.
Kodwa akubona bonke ababejabule ngokuza kukaJesu emhlabeni, ngoba uJesu wadalula amanga kanye nemisebenzi kadeveli futhi wabhekana nobubi nezono zabangcwele Indoda endala yenyama.
Kubo, owayemesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ethanda amazwi Akhe, UJesu wayeyiLitshe eliphilayo; iDwala, owadla amanzi aphilayo.
Kepha kulabo, ababezithanda bona kanye nomhlaba, UJesu wayeyiTshe lokukhubekisa (Funda futhi: uJesu; ilitshe Legumbi eliyigugu noma Itshe lokukhubekisa?)
UJesu wathumela umlilo emhlabeni
ngize ukuphonsa umlilo emhlabeni; futhi ngizothini, uba selibasiwe? Kodwa ngilombhabhadiso engizabhabhathizwa ngawo; futhi ngicindezelwe kanjani kuze kufezeke! Ake sithi ngizele ukuthula emhlabeni? ngiyakutshela, Cha; kodwa kunalokho ukwahlukana: Ngoba kusukela manje kuzakuba nesihlanu endlini eyodwa ehlukaniswe, ezintathu ziphikisana ezimbili, kanti amabili aphikisana nabathathu. (Luka 12:49-52)
Nakuba uJesu engezanga emhlabeni ukuzokwahlulela umhlaba, ngoba kwakungakabi yisikhathi saKHE sokwahlulela, UJesu wafakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yabo yayimibi.
Therefore the sons of the devil (the workers of iniquity) wanted to get rid of Jesus and extinguish the Light, so that they could continue their evil works and their lives in darkness, without any interference and condemnation.
The same thing happens today. Kuningi, who belong to the world and want to extinguish the lights, that shine in the darkness. And so they wrap a lie into a half-truth, so that the darkness can enter unnoticed in the lives of believers. As soon as the darkness enters, it will proliferate. First in the life of the believer, then in the lives of other believers, causing the Church to be affected and the Light to be extinguished.
The Holy Spirit is a consuming fire
Futhi lapho usuku lwePhentekhosti lwenzeka ngokugcwele, bonke babene-accord eyodwa endaweni eyodwa. Futhi kungazelelwe kwavela umsindo ovela ezulwini njengomoya onamandla, Futhi yagcwalisa yonke indlu ababehlala kuyo. Kwabonakala kubo izilimi ezinjengobavukile zinjengomlilo, Futhi yahlala phezu kwayo ngamunye wabo. Futhi bonke bagcwala ngoMoya oNgcwele, futhi waqala ukukhuluma ngezinye izilimi, Njengoba umoya ubanikeza inkulumo (IzEnzo 2:1-4)
Just like God and Jesus are a consuming fire, the Holy Spirit is also a consuming fire. Because on the day of Pentecost, uMoya oNgcwele wehla ezulwini wagcwalisa indlu, lapho bonke abafundi bakaJesu babuthana khona, kwabonakala kubo izilimi ezihlukene njengezomlilo, okwakuhlala phezu kwalowo lalowo wabo. Ngaleso sikhathi, bonke abafundi, ababekhona ekamelweni eliphezulu bagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.
UMoya oNgcwele wathatha indawo Yakhe ezimpilweni zesidalwa esisha futhi wabanika izilimi ezinjengomlilo, ababeshumayela iqiniso nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
Abafundi base bephenduke izinceku zokulunga; imililo evuthayo, owashumayela izimangaliso zikaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe futhi wabiza abantu, ababengababantu bakaNkulunkulu, kwa- ukuphenduka.
Ngenxa yezilimi zomlilo, abantu bahlabeke ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi 3000 imiphefumulo yaphenduka futhi yabhapathizwa futhi yamukela uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu ngosuku lwePhentekoste
Labo, who have the Holy Spirit and yield themselves to God’s Word and obey His commandments, shall become just like Jesus.
They shall be just like Jesus, who sent fire on the earth, bring the truth and righteousness of God to the earth. Because of their righteousness in Christ and their righteous walk, they will expose the wickedness of the world and testify that her works are evil.
UMoya oNgcwele, uMoya weqiniso, ohlala kibo, shall testify of Jesus Christ and reprove the world of sin, lokulunga, and of judgment because of the umsebenzi ophelele kaJesu Kristu.
The new man shall call sinners to repentance and the removal of sin, so that they will no longer be bound to the kingdom of darkness and the death, but shall live in freedom in Christ in the Kingdom of God.
God’s Word devours the old man
For every one shall be salted with fire, futhi yonke imihlatshelo iyakutswaywa ngosawoti. Usawoti muhle: kodwa uba usawoti edumele, niyakuyolisa ngani? Yibani nosawoti phakathi kwenu, futhi nibe nokuthula omunye nomunye (Maka 9:49-50)
UMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma amazwi afanayo kaNkulunkulu, uJesu awakhuluma kubantu futhi kulotshwe eBhayibhelini. Labo, abangabakaJesu futhi balalele amazwi Akhe, uzolalela amazwi Akhe futhi akhulume amazwi Akhe ayohlala othandweni Lwakhe.
IZwi likaNkulunkulu a Isibuko kubo futhi ababonise, Bangobani kuJesu Kristu.
Nakuba iZwi likaNkulunkulu liyisibuko somuntu omusha, ngesikhathi esifanayo kaNkulunkulu. IZwi liyinkemba engokomoya, ohlukanisa umoya nomphefumulo nomlilo oqothulayo oqeda ikhehla.
Ngoba nakuba umuntu esephenduke isidalwa esisha kuJesu Kristu endaweni kamoya futhi usethole isimo Sakhe, this transformation must become visible in the natural realm.
Therefore the new man shall go through the process of sanctification and shall be purified and refined by the words of God, so that the works and remnants of the old man will be devoured by the words of God and only the new man remains.
God’s Word is clear and reveals the isithelo sikaMoya and the works of the flesh and confronts the old man with his works. Ngaleso sikhathi, a person has a choice to obey the Word and remove these carnal works, so that the person will be cleansed and sanctified or a person can disobey the Word and reject the Word and obey the flesh and keep doing these carnal works (Funda futhi: A reprobate mind).
Anazi ukuthi abangalungile abayikulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu? Ungakhohliswa: hhayi izifebe, Futhi abakhonza izithombe, noma iziphikiso, futhi noma ukufezekisa, noma abahlukumezi bakithi ngesintu (homosexual practices), Namasela, noma ihaha, noma izidakwa, noma abaphikisi, noma ukuphaphama, Uyakulidla Ilifa Ngombuso KaNkulunkulu (1 AbaseKorinte 6:9-10).
Manje imisebenzi yenyama iyabonakala, Yikuphi lokhu; Ukuphinga, ubufebe, ukungcola, ukuxega, Izithombe, ubuthakathi, inzondo, ukwehluka, ukulingisa, ulaka, ingxabano, iziyaluyalu, amambuka, Umona, ukubulala, ukudakwa, ukuxokozela, futhi kanjalo: kwalokho engikutshela khona ngaphambili, Njengoba ngiphinde ngikutshele ngesikhathi esidlule, ukuthi labo abazenza izinto ezinjalo ngeke balizuze ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu (KwabaseGalathiya 5:19-21)
Ngakho bulalani amalungu enu asemhlabeni; ubufebe, ukungcola, uthando oludlulele, inkanuko embi, kanye nokuhaha, okungukukhonza izithombe: Ngaziphi izinto’ ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli: enanihamba kukho nani isikhathi esithile, lapho lanihlala kizo. Kodwa manje nani lahlani zonke lezi; intukuthelo, ulaka, ububi, ukuhlambalaza, Ukuxhumana okungcolile ngaphandle komlomo wakho. Ungalali nomunye komunye, lokhu nikhumule umuntu omdala kanye nezenzo zakhe (AbaseKolose 3:5-10)
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Ukwazi lokhu, ukuthi umlayo kawenzelwanga olungileyo, kodwa kwabangenamthetho nabangalaleliyo, kwabangamesabi uNkulunkulu lezoni, kokungangcwele nokungcolile, ngababulali oyise nababulala omama, kubabulali, Okwezifebe, kulabo abazingcolisa ngesintu (homosexual practices), kwabantshontsha amadoda, kwabaqamba amanga, kubantu abafungelwe amanga, futhi uba kukhona okunye okuphambene lemfundiso ephilileyo; ngokwevangeli lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu obongekayo, eyayizinikele ethembeni lami (1 UThimothewu 1:8-11)
Amazwi kasathane ashwabadela umuntu omusha
Njengoba udeveli azi ukuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu linamandla kangakanani nokuthi amazwi kaNkulunkulu enzani ezimpilweni zabantu, futhi akafuni ukulahlekelwa amandla akhe ezimpilweni zabantu futhi akafuni ukuba umbuso wakhe uphangwe, weba futhi abulale amazwi kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zamakholwa.
UDeveli uzokwenza noma yini ukuze amakholwa aqhelelane neBhayibheli; iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngoba iZwi likaNkulunkulu lembula iqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi lidalula amanga kadeveli.
Ngakho-ke udeveli ubagcina bematasa futhi udala zonke izinhlobo zeziphazamiso kanye ukuzijabulisa, okuqinisekisa ukuthi umuntu uchitha sonke isikhathi sakhe esiyigugu ezintweni zalo mhlaba; umbuso wakhe, esikhundleni seZwi nezinto zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Uyabaphakela ngokuzijabulisa kwakhe, (social)abezindaba kanye nezemfundo, nangemizwa, uthatha izingqondo zabantu.
Ubusa ingqondo yabo ngamazwi akhe, ezikhulunywa yizinceku zakhe, kodwa aphikisane namazwi kaNkulunkulu, futhi enze amakholwa awangabaze amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi abhubhise inzalo kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zabantu
Udeveli uhlwanyela imbewu eyonakele; ilele ezimpilweni zabantu futhi iveza ukubhujiswa ezimpilweni zabantu. Futhi ngakho uDeveli ubhubhisa futhi ushwabadele izimpilo eziningi emhlabeni futhi uholela kubo kwalabi.
Uma ungalaleli Izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi ungawalaleli amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi ungawalaleli cisha ikhehla (inyama) futhi ushwabadele imisebenzi yakhe, kodwa kunalokho lalela amazwi kadeveli futhi uwalalele, usathane uzoshwabadela umuntu omusha ngempilo yakho njengomuntu omdala.
Uma ungadli inyama yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa hlwanyela enyameni yenu, khona ekugcineni inyama iyakukushwabadela. Njengoba iZwi lisho, ukuthi uma uhlwanyela enyameni yakho, uzovuna inkohlakalo (KwabaseGalathiya 6:7-8)
Ngakho-ke kuyadingeka ukwehlisa udeveli njengenhloko empilweni yakho. Ukwenza kanjani lokho? Ngokungamlaleli nangokungenzi intando yakhe nokungawalaleli amazwi akhe. Ungavumeli izinkanuko nezifiso zakho zenyama, kodwa thatha amandla phezu kwazo, ubuse phezu kwenyama yenu.
UJesu uzobhapathiza wonke umuntu
Mina nginibhabhadisa ngamanzi kukho ukuphenduka: kepha ozayo emva kwami unamandla kunami, engingafanele ukuthwala izicathulo zakhe: yena uyakunibhapathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele, nangomlilo: Isiphephelo sikabani esisesandleni Sakhe, futhi uyosihlanza ngokuphelele isitezi Sakhe, futhi abuthele ukolweni waKhe enqolobaneni; kepha amakhoba uyakuwashisa ngomlilo ongacimekiyo (Mathewu 3:11-12, Uhu 3:16-17).
Lonke ikholwa elizelwe ngokusha liyongena ohlelweni lokungcweliswa futhi liyohlanjululwa ngomlilo ongcwele ngeZwi nangoMoya waKhe phakathi nokuphila kwalo emhlabeni.. Ukuze kuvele umuntu omusha futhi abonakale futhi umuntu omdala uyafa.
uJesu; iZwi liyobhapathiza wonke umuntu ngomlilo futhi abantu bangazinqumela ngokwabo uma lokhu kwenzeka; ngesikhathi sokuphila emhlabeni noma ngoSuku Lokwahlulela.
Umuntu angakhetha ukukholwa futhi azinikele kuJesu Kristu futhi aphenduke, zalwa ngokusha futhi wamukele ubhapathizo lukaMoya oNgcwele, Oyohlanza umuntu ngomlilo waKhe ongcwele (iqiniso nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu) elizadla ixhegu, noma umuntu angakhetha ukwenqaba uJesu Kristu ahlale ikhehla abhabhadiswe ngoSuku Lokwahlulela ngoJesu; iZwi ngomlilo echibini lomlilo laphakade.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
