Kuyo yonke ibhayibheli, sifunda ngobukhulu bukaNkulunkulu obubonakaliswa ezimweni ezingenathemba kanye nezinto ezingenakwenzeka zemvelo. Igama elithi ‘akunakwenzeka’ akulona igama embhalweni kaNkulunkulu. Konke kuyenzeka kuNkulunkulu! Kulabo, abathanda uNkulunkulu nabamethembayo nabakholwa kuJesu; IZwi laKhe futhi ulalele iZwi futhi wenze futhi uphile ngokweZwi, akukho lutho oluyokwenzeka. Izinto ezingenzekiyo azikho eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, inqobo nje uma kuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu. Akekho odlula ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu futhi akukho okunamandla okudlula amandla kaNkulunkulu! Bheka indalo, ukuhlengwa kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu, uhambo lwabo ehlane futhi bethatha izwe lesethembiso, ukunqoba kwezizwe zabezizwe, izimangaliso zabaprofethi, ukufika kanye nempilo kaJesu Kristu kanye nomsebenzi ophelele wokuhlenga, ukufika kukaMoya oNgcwele kanye nezibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziningi ezimpilweni zamakholwa azelwe ngokusha, Obani amadodana kaNkulunkulu (abesilisa nabesifazane). The whole Bible testifies of the greatness of God manifested in hopeless situations and natural impossibilities.
The greatness of God manifested in creation
The greatness of God was manifested during the creation of the heaven and the earth and all there is within. The earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Endaweni yemvelo, nothing was present to create a perfect creation from this chaos.
But since God acts from the spiritual realm and doesn’t depend on natural means it was no problem for God to create a perfect creation.
And so God created from the chaos and darkness a perfect heaven and earth and all there is within in six days. Because after His work was finished, UNkulunkulu waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa (Funda futhi: ‘Ingabe uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha? Noma…')
The greatness of God manifested in the promise to Abraham
UNkulunkulu wabonisa ubukhulu bakhe ku-Abrahama ngokumnika isithembiso sendodana. Okwakubonakala kungenakwenzeka endaweni yemvelo, kwakungenzeka kuNkulunkulu. Okuwukuphela kwento u-Abrahama okwakumelwe ayenze kwakuwukukholwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi akholwe isithembiso Sakhe ukuze isithembiso Sakhe sigcwaliseke.
Nokho, ngokugxambukela kokuhlakanipha kwemvelo nolwazi lomuntu, izinto azihambanga ngokwentando necebo likaNkulunkulu. Kodwa ngenhlanhla uNkulunkulu wasigcina isithembiso sakhe futhi wakhombisa ubukhulu bakhe ngokuzalwa kuka-Isaka (Funda futhi: ‘Ilinde isithembiso‘).
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa ekuhlengeni kwabantu baKhe
Lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu besebugqilini ngaphansi kwegunya likaFaro eGibhithe, bakhala kuNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu wakuzwa ukukhala kwabantu bakhe futhi wabakhulula abantu bakhe emandleni kaFaro.
UNkulunkulu wabonisa ubukhulu Bakhe ngezinhlupho, eyafika phezu kweGibithe ngamazwi nangezandla zikaMose. Izwe lonke lahlaselwa yizifo, ngaphandle kwaseGosheni, indawo lapho kwakuhlala abantu bakaNkulunkulu.
Ekugcineni, UFaro wavumela abantu bakaNkulunkulu bahamba futhi abantu bahamba indlela yabo eya ezweni lesethembiso.
Kodwa phakathi nohambo lwabo lokuya ezweni lesethembiso, UNkulunkulu wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro ngakho uFaro washintsha umqondo wakhe wathumela ibutho lakhe ukuba libuyise abantu.
Lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu besondela oLwandle Olubomvu babona impi kaFaro isondela kubo, besaba futhi bakhala kuNkulunkulu futhi bakhononda ngoMose. Ngaleso sikhathi yayingekho indlela yokuphuma. Endaweni yemvelo, kwakungenakwenzeka ukubaleka ebuthweni likaFaro.
Njengoba babengekho ngokomoya, Kepha carnal, badale zonke izinhlobo zezimo ezingezinhle engqondweni yabo, ababekuvuma ngomlomo wabo. Lezi zimo ezimbi azizange zibe ngokoqobo ngokushesha, kodwa ekugcineni, wonke amazwi ababewakhulumile afezeka.
Ukulindela kwabo, ukuthi babeyofela ehlane kwaba yinto engokoqobo kulesi sizukulwane sokuqala.
Abazange bangene ezweni lesethembiso futhi abazange bangene ukuphumula kukaNkulunkulu, kodwa bafa ohambweni lwabo ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo kuNkulunkulu naseZwini laKhe nangenxa yokuthi baMdabukisa (Heb 3:7-15).
UMose watshela abantu ukuthi bangesabi futhi bame ukuze babone ukusindisa kukaJehova. Ngoba uNkulunkulu wayezobalwela futhi kufanele bathule.
UJehova wakhuluma noMose futhi wambuza ukuthi kungani wakhala kuye. UNkulunkulu wayala uMose nabantu ukuba baye phambili futhi baphakamise induku yakhe futhi belulele isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle futhi bahlukanise phakathi., ukuze abantu bawele emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle.
UMose wayemethemba uNkulunkulu futhi ekholelwa emazwini Akhe ngakho uMose wenza lokho uNkulunkulu ayemyale ukuba akwenze.
Esikhundleni sokubonisana ngamazwi akhe, UMose wenza ngokuvumelana namazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi welula izandla zakhe phezu kolwandle. Lapho uMose elula izandla zakhe phezu kolwandle, UNkulunkulu wabuyisela emuva ulwandle ngomoya onamandla wasempumalanga ubusuku bonke futhi wenza ulwandle lwaba umhlabathi owomile futhi amanzi ahlukana.. Ngakho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bangena phakathi kolwandle emhlabathini owomileyo ngaphesheya (U wanga 14).
Ziningi ezinye izibonelo zobukhulu bukaNkulunkulu obubonakaliswa ezimeni ezingenathemba nalapho izinto ezisemkhathini wemvelo zazibonakala zingenakwenzeka..
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa empilweni kaJesu Kristu
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa ngokuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu; iZwi nangesikhathi sokuphila Kwakhe emhlabeni. UJesu wangena Igama likaNkulunkulu; egunyeni likaNkulunkulu futhi wabizela abantu bakaNkulunkulu ekuphendukeni. UJesu wembula uMbuso kaNkulunkulu nobukhulu bukaNkulunkulu ngamazwi Akhe nangezibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziningi.
Bheka nje ukuphenduka okuningi ngokuzwa amazwi kaJesu nokuphulukisa okuningi, ukukhululwa, nokuvuka kwabafileyo okwenzeka ngoJesu’ amazwi nezenzo.
Futhi masingakhohlwa zonke iziprofetho, ukudla okumangalisayo kwezixuku (Mat 14:13-21; 15:32-39, Mar 6:30-44; Mar 8:1-10, Uhu 9:10-17, Jn 6:1-15), uhlaka oluyisimangaliso lwezinhlanzi (Uhu 5:1-11, Jn 21:1-14), the water turned into wine (Jn 2:1-11), withering of the fig tree (Mat 21:18, Mar 11:12), the silencing of the storm (Mat 8:23-27, Mar 4:35-41, Uhu 8:22-25) and the temple tax in the mouth of the fish (Mat 17:24-27).
But the greatest work, in which the greatness of God was manifested was, kunjalo, the resurrection from the dead of His Son Jesus Christ and the creation of the new man (Funda futhi: ‘What kind of peace did Jesus bring on earth’, ‘UJesu wabuyisela isikhundla somuntu owile' futhi'Usuku lwesishiyagalombili, usuku lokudalwa okusha')
After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and after Jesus took place on the Isihlalo Somusa Ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, The greatness of God and His power didn’t stop. By the coming of the Holy Spirit God’s greatness was manifested in the lives of His sons.
The greatness of God manifested in the lives of the sons of God
After the disciples of Jesus were baptized with the Holy Spirit and had become a indalo entsha; amadodana kaNkulunkulu, they testified boldly of Jesus the Christ.
Nakuba ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakala ezimpilweni zabo ngokusebenzisa abantu abaningi, abaguqulwa ngamazwi abo futhi bazalwa kabusha kanye nezibonakaliso nezimangaliso ezabalandela, kuningi okumele bakubekezelele.
Ngokholo lwabo kuJesu Kristu nokulalela kwabo uNkulunkulu babhekana nokuphikiswa okukhulu futhi akuzange kuthathe isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba bashushiswe., njengoJesu nabaphrofethi baseSivumelwaneni Esidala.
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa ekuthunjweni
Kwakukhona izikhathi eziningi, okwakubonakala kungenathemba. Kodwa ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu ebonakalisa ubukhulu Bakhe.
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa empilweni kaPetru, lapho ethunjwa efakwa etilongweni. Ebusuku ingelosi yeNkosi yeza kuPetru, yamkhulula etilongweni. UNkulunkulu wayizwa imithandazo yamakholwa, ababebuthene bakhulekela uPetro. Futhi ngakho ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa futhi uPetru wakhululwa ezandleni zikaHerode (Dlala 12:1-19)
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakala nasezimpilweni zikaPawulu noSila, lapho beshaywa futhi bevalelwa etilongweni ngoba babekhiphe umoya wokubhula eFilipi (ingxenye yeMakedoniya).
Ngesikhathi uPawulu noSila bekhuleka futhi bedumisa uNkulunkulu phakathi kobusuku, kwahle kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, eyazamazamisa izisekelo zetilongo. Eduze, yonke iminyango yavuleka futhi izibopho zabo bonke bathukululwa.
Wavuka ebuthongweni umlindi wejele wabona okwenzekile wafuna ukuzibulala, ngoba wayecabanga ukuthi izibotshwa zibalekile. Kodwa uPawulu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu wathi angazilimazi ngoba zonke iziboshwa zazilapho.
Umlindi wabuza uPawulu noSila ukuthi yini okwakumelwe ayenze ukuze asindiswe. Bathi, uyakusindiswa wena nendlu yakho. Ngakho umlindi wabayisa endlini yakhe; uPawulu noSila bakhuluma kuye nakubo bonke ababesendlini yakhe izwi leNkosi.. Wageza imivimbo yabo futhi umlindi nendlu yakhe babhapathizwa futhi bakholwa kuNkulunkulu (Dlala 16:19- 40).
Kwakunezimo eziningi ezengeziwe ekuphileni kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu, okwakubonakala kungenathemba endaweni yemvelo futhi izinto zazibonakala zingenakwenzeka. Kodwa ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu; Izwi nokuthembela kwabo kuNkulunkulu nokuqina kwabo, ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu benza indlela yokuphuma ukuze okungenakwenzeka kwenzeke.
UNkulunkulu usebenza endaweni yomoya
UNkulunkulu usebenza endaweni yomoya hhayi endaweni yemvelo, njengomhlaba. Lapho izwe lingenaso isixazululo futhi lingayiboni indlela yokuphuma, UNkulunkulu unendlela yokuphuma. Nokho, Indlela kaNkulunkulu nesikhathi Sakhe akuhambisani nentando kaMvelinqangi Indoda endala. Kodwa kuzo zonke izimo ezingenathemba futhi lapho izinto zibonakala zingenakwenzeka kukhona indlela yokuphuma ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu; IZwi laKhe.
IBhayibheli; Izwi likaNkulunkulu lifakaza ngobukhulu bukaNkulunkulu futhi kukuwe ukuthi uyawakholwa yini amazwi kaNkulunkulu noma cha.
Uma uphila ngokulandela uMoya uyobheka ngokwehlukile izimo kunalapho uphila ngokulandela inyama.
Ngoba uma uphila ngokwenyama, uholwa yizinzwa zakho, intando, imizwa, kanye nemizwa futhi uncike ezimweni nasezimweni zokuphila kwakho.
Lapho konke kuhamba kahle futhi ngokwentando yakho, khona-ke uyajabula futhi ujabule. Kepha uma nje uhlangabezana nezinkinga empilweni yakho futhi izinto zingahambi njengoba uhlelile futhi ungahambi ngokwentando yakho., khona-ke ngokuzumayo awusajabule futhi ujabule, kodwa esikhundleni salokho, uthuke ube novalo, lusizi, ecindezelekile, ngingenathemba futhi akaboni indlela yokuphuma.
Inqobo nje uma uhlezi ungowenyama nezinzwa zakho, intando, imizwa, futhi imizwa ilawula impilo yakho, uyohlala uncike ezimweni nasezimweni futhi uzoncika ezindleleni zemvelo.

NgeZwi, uyazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu, nokuthi uhamba kanjani njengendodana kaNkulunkulu futhi uyazi ukuthi yini ekulindele kuwe. Uzokholwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi wenze lokho iZwi elikushoyo futhi ngenxa yalokho uzothola ukuthula nenjabulo kaNkulunkulu kuzo zonke izimo empilweni yakho..
Umnqobi ngaphandle kwempi akekho
Abaningi engibathandayo, ngiyakhuza ngiyalaya: ngakho shiseka, futhi baphenduke (IsAmbulo 3:19)
UJesu akashongo ukuthi ngeke kube nezivunguvungu empilweni yakho. Kodwa uJesu washo, ukuthi uma ubeka ithemba lakho eZwini ube umenzi weZwi hlala eZwini bese kufika izivunguvungu uzoma ungabhubhi. (Funda futhi: ‘Abezwayo vs abenzi beZwi‘)
Ngezimo ezinzima, uzokhula futhi uvuthwe futhi ubunjwe njengendodana kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba iZwi lisho, abathandwa yiNkosi, Uyahlanza futhi ahlangane. UJesu wathi, ukuthi bonke Abathandayo, Akhuze akhuze (Heb 12:3-11, Emuva 3:19).
Lithi iZwi, ukuze nikubale konke injabulo, lapho niwela ezilingweni ezihlukahlukene, ngoba ukuvivinywa kokukholwa kwenu kuveza ukubekezela (Jam 1:1-4)
Amakholwa amaningi afuna ukuba ngabanqobi acule futhi avume ngemilomo yawo ukuthi angabanqobi, kodwa abafuni izimpi ezimpilweni zabo.
Lapho nje behlangabezana nezingqinamba ezimpilweni zabo futhi izinto azihambi futhi ziphenduke ngendlela abafuna ngayo, bayatatazela futhi badikibale futhi bacindezeleke futhi abazi ukuthi benzeni.
Kodwa bayakhohlwa, ukuthi uma ufuna ukuba umnqobi udinga izimpi ukuze uzinqobe. Ayikho into enjengomnqobi ngaphandle kwempi. Ungaba umnqobi kuphela uma unqoba okuthile. Uma unganqobi okuthile, awukwazi ukuba ngumnqobi.
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu babonakaliswa ezimweni ezingenathemba
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu bubonakala ezimeni ezingenathemba, lapho kubonakala kungenathemba futhi kungekho sixazululo endaweni yemvelo. Kodwa kufanele wazi ukuthi asikho isimo esingenathemba nesingenakwenzeka kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa kufanele uthembele Kuye futhi ukholelwe emazwini Akhe futhi uwalalele futhi uwenze ekuphileni kwakho. UNkulunkulu ufuna uhlale futhi uhlale eZwini Lakhe, naphezu kobude besikhathi nemibono, ukumelana, nokushushiswa kwabantu abakuzungezile.
UJesu ufuna ukuthi umbheke umethembe esikhundleni sokuncika emhlabeni nasebukhulwini bakho, ubuhlakani, amakhono, kanye.
Ufuna ukuthi ungene Imiyalo Yakhe futhi senze ngokukholwa ngokweZwi laKhe, ukuze ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu bubonakale empilweni yakho nasezimpilweni zabanye, futhi uJesu uyophakanyiswa futhi uNkulunkulu uyohlonishwa futhi akhazinyuliswe.
