Kungase kube nezikhathi ekuphileni, ukuthi amaKristu angabaza ubuqiniso bokholo, ukwethembeka kweBhayibheli, kanye nobukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Bayazibuza, nguNkulunkulu Lowo Athi Unguye, futhi uNkulunkulu uyalalela? Ingabe uJesu unguMesiya kanye nendlela eya ekuphileni okuphakade? Ngabe ngiwamukele uMoya oNgcwele? Uma lokhu kwenzeka kuwe bese kuvela ukungabaza empilweni yakho, kubalulekile ukuthi wenzeni ngalokhu kungabaza. Ngoba ukukhetha okungalungile kungaba yinhlekelele empilweni yakho nasendaweni yaphakade oya kuyo. Ungaqala kahle, Kepha ekugcineni, akukona ukuthi uqala kanjani, kodwa uqeda kanjani empilweni.
UJohane uMbhapathizi waqala kahle
Kwakukhona umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, obizo lakhe lalinguJohane. Kwafika okufanayo nangobufakazi, ukufakaza ngokukhanya, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye. Wayengesikho lokho kuKhanya, kodwa wayethunyelwe ukufakaza ngalokho ukukhanya (UJohane 1:6-8)
Empilweni kaJohane uMbhapathizi, kwakukhona futhi isikhashana lapho uJohane engabaza uMesiya. Ingabe uJesu wayenguMesiya noma kufanele babheke omunye?
UJohane uMbhapathizi wayengufakazi kaJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Wakhethwa futhi wamiswa nguNkulunkulu futhi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, ukuhamba ngomoya langemandla kaEliyasi lokumemezela lokulungisa indlela yabangcwele Ukuza KoMesiya.
UJohane wabizelwa ukubuyisela abantu bakwa-Israyeli eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo, ukwenza abantu balungele futhi balungiselele ukufika kweNkosi, ngokubiza abantu ekuphendukeni ezonweni kanye ebhapathiza emanzini.
UJohane wayengamazi uJesu futhi engakaze ambone. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayemembulile uMesiya ngamazwi Akhe kuye.
UNkulunkulu wathi, ukuthi Ayobona uMoya ehla ahlale phezu kwakhe, ukuthi Uyoba nguYe, Obhabhadisa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
UJohane wakholwa uNkulunkulu namazwi Akhe
UJohane wakholwa uNkulunkulu futhi wakhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu, lapho uJohane afakaza ngoMesiya. Ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu, UJohane wamazi uMesiya kanye noKristu IWundlu likaNkulunkulu, osusa izono zomhlaba.
UJohane wabona amazwi kaNkulunkulu egcwaliseka futhi wayengufakazi kaJesu Kristu. Ngemva kokuba uJesu ebhapathiziwe emanzini, UJohane wafakaza ukuthi izulu livuliwe futhi wabona uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehla njengejuba uza phezu kwakhe futhi uhlala phezu kwakhe., ngokwezwi likaNkulunkulu.
UJohane wafakaza ngezwi likaNkulunkulu elivela ezulwini lithi, Lo uyiNdodana yaMi ethandekayo engithokozile ngayo (Oh. Mathewu 3, Maka 1:1-8, Luka 1:13-17; 67-80, UJohane 1:6-8; 15-36).
UJohane waqala ukungabaza amazwi kaNkulunkulu
Ngemva kwazo zonke lezi zinto, ungacabanga, ukuthi uJohane wayengenakungabaza ukuthi uJesu unguMesiya. Futhi okwamanje, kwakukhona isikhathi, lapho uJohane eqala ukungabaza amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi engabaza ukuthi uJesu wayenguMesiya ngempela.
Lapho uJohane ematasa enza umsebenzi woMbuso futhi ebiza abantu ukuba baphenduke futhi ababhapathize labo, owalalela ubizo lwakhe, nokubafundisa, kwakungekho ukungabaza okukodwa. Kodwa lapho uJohane eseyedwa ejele, UJohane waqala ukungabaza, ukuthi uJesu wayenguMesiya ngempela.
UJohane wayengabaza ukuthi uJesu wayenguMesiya
Manje lapho uJohane esezwile etilongweni imisebenzi kaKristu, wathuma ababili kubafundi bakhe, Wathi kuye, Uwena Ozakuza, noma sibheke omunye? UJesu waphendula wathi kubo, Hambani nimtshele uJohane lokho enikuzwayo nenikubonayo: Izimpumputhe ziyabona, nezinyonga ziyahamba, abanochoko bayahlanjululwa, nezithulu ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, nabampofu bayashunyayezwa ivangeli. Futhi ubusisiwe, loba ngubani ongayikukhubeka ngami (Mathewu 11:2-6)
Lapho uJohane uMbhapathizi ezwa esetilongweni ngemisebenzi kaKristu futhi eqala ukungabaza ukuthi uJesu wayenguMesiya yini, Ngokushesha uJohane wenza ngokungabaza kwakhe, esikhundleni sokungenzi lutho futhi avumele ukungabaza engqondweni yakhe futhi acabange ngokungabaza kwakhe.
UJohane wathuma ababili kubafundi bakhe kuJesu, iZwi Eliphilayo, bembuza ukuthi Wayenguye yini noma ukuthi babefanele babheke omunye uMesiya
UJesu waphendula abafundi bakaJohane wathi, kwadingeka ukuthi baye kuJohane futhi bambonise lokho ababekuzwile nabakubonile.
Amazwi kaJesu kanye nobufakazi babafundi bakhe kwakuyosusa ukungabaza kukaJohane, owayeseyindalo endala naphezu kokugcwaliswa uMoya oNgcwele.
Ekugcineni, UJohane wafa njengomfel’ ukholo kaKristu. Ngoba wahlala ethembekile ezwini likaNkulunkulu nasekulungeni Kwakhe. UJohane akazange aguqe esonweni seNkosi uHerode futhi akazange avume ukuziphatha kwakhe. Kunalokho, wakugxeka ukuziphatha kwakhe.
Isenzo sakhe sokulalela uNkulunkulu nokulunga kwaKhe nokungalaleli intando yeNkosi uHerode sabangela ukuba uJohane aphile emhlabeni.. (Funda futhi: uJohane uMbhapathizi, indoda engazange iguqe).
Ukungabaza kuqeda ukholo
Kungaba nezikhathi empilweni lapho ukungabaza kuzama ukungena futhi kuzinze engqondweni yakho. Ukungabaza kuyinhlekelele okholweni, ngoba ukungabaza kuqeda ukholo. Noma ubani ongabaza amazwi kaNkulunkulu akanakuhamba Ukukholwa.
Ngokushesha nje lapho ukungabaza kuzama ukungena engqondweni yakho, kubalulekile ukuthatha isinyathelo ngokushesha futhi uthathe iBhayibheli (IZwi LikaNkulunkulu) futhi ‘ubulale’ ukungabaza ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu. NjengoJohn.
Nakuba uJohane wayengowakwa- abangenalukholo isizukulwane somuntu owile futhi engazange abe a indalo entsha kuKristu, UJohane wathatha isinyathelo ngokushesha ngokuthumela abafundi bakhe kuJesu, iZwi Eliphilayo, ukususa ukungabaza kwakhe nokuqeda ukungabaza engqondweni yakhe.
Uma ungahlaseli futhi uqede ukungabaza kwakho ngokushesha ngeZwi, khona-ke ukungabaza ekugcineni kuzoqeda ukholo lwakho, okunemiphumela yendawo yakho yaphakade. Ngoba, akukona ukuthi uqala kanjani, kodwa uqeda kanjani.
Ukukholwa kuvela ngokuzwa nokuzwa ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu
IZwi LikaNkulunkulu lithi, lokho kukholwa kuvela ngokuzwa nokuzwa ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu kwabaseRoma 10:17).
Therefore it’s important to read and study the Bible daily and feed and renew your mind with the words of God. Instead of feeding your mind with the words and the things of this world.
As long as you stay the old creation and/or daily feed your mind with the words, ulwazi, ukuhlakanipha, nezinto zalomhlaba, you shall keep a carnal mind.
You shall believe the words of the world. And you shall live in obedience to the ruler of this world, according to this world, and keep doing the imisebenzi yenyama.
You shall not be able to walk by faith. Since the world doesn’t acknowledge God as the Creator of heaven and earth and all there is within, but as foolishness.
And because the world considers God as foolishness, they also consider His Word and His Spirit as foolish.
Umhlaba awuvumi iBhayibheli njengeZwi likaNkulunkulu neGunya eliphakeme kakhulu, iqiniso, kanye nempilo. Kodwa izwe liyaligcona iBhayibheli futhi likhuluma kabi ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu. Amazwi omhlaba ayaphikisana namazwi kaNkulunkulu. Bafakaza ukuthi amazwi kaNkulunkulu mabi futhi awubuwula.
Futhi umhlaba awumvumi uMoya oNgcwele kanye nemisebenzi kaMoya futhi uyibheka njengeziwula.
Umhlaba awukwazi ukubona, qonda, futhi baqonde uNkulunkulu. Umhlaba awukwazi ukuzwa nokuthwala iZwi laKhe futhi awukwazi ukuba sebukhoneni bukaMoya oNgcwele. Ngakho-ke, izwe liyamlahla uNkulunkulu, IZwi laKhe, noMoya waKhe oNgcwele.
Akukona ukuthi uqala kanjani, kodwa uqeda kanjani
Ngakho-ke, uma wondla ingqondo yakho ngamazwi, ulwazi, nokuhlakanipha komhlaba, uyakuthola ingqondo yezwe neyomphikukristu. Futhi uyakuqaphela uNkulunkulu, IZwi laKhe, noMoya waKhe oNgcwele njengobuwula. You cha kholwa lalela Them, kodwa uBalahle, lapho udlala khona ngephakade futhi ngeke uqede ngendlela okufanele uqede ngayo.
Kodwa uma uthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke futhi uzelwe kabusha kuKristu futhi usungokomoya futhi wondla ingqondo yakho nsuku zonke ngamazwi, ulwazi, nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu nezinto zoMbuso waKhe, uzoba nomqondo kaKristu futhi unqobe futhi uqede konke ukungabaza ngobukhona nobuqiniso bukaNkulunkulu, IZwi noMoya waKhe ngeZwi. (Funda futhi: Kungani ukuvuselela ingqondo yakho kudingekile).
Nsuku zonke, kufanele ulwe ne ukulwa okungokomoyalokukholwa. Kufanele uthandaze futhi uhlale uphapheme futhi ulindile. Ukuze ume okholweni futhi ungabi sivivi futhi uqhubeke umshayeli wendiza ozenzakalelayo futhi ucabange ukuthi wazi konke, ngemva kokufunda iBhayibheli izikhathi ezimbalwa noma ukuya esontweni iminyaka, futhi/noma uqala ukungabaza amazwi kaNkulunkulu, lapho ungeke uyiqedele indlela oqale ngayo futhi ngabe usuqede impilo yakho. Ngoba akukona ukuthi uqala kanjani, kodwa uqeda kanjani.
Vumela ukungabaza kungakuphuci indawo oya kuyo yaphakade. Kodwa kholwa kuJesu Kristu, azalwe ngokusha kuye, futhi niMlandele nize nifike endaweni yaphakade efiseleka kakhulu.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
