IBhayibheli lisibonisa ukubaluleka kokuthandazela esikholwa nabo. ETestamenteni eNtsha, sifunda ukuthi uJesu nabaphostoli bathandazela abakholwa nabo. Ngezinye izikhathi ukuthandazela esikholwa nabo kungaba okubaluleke kakhulu. Uma amaKristu eqaphela amandla omthandazo futhi athandazele labo, uNkulunkulu abahambise endleleni yabo, wabafaka emoyeni wabo, khona kuzokwenzeka izinto ezinkulu.

UJesu wabathandazela labo, uNkulunkulu ayemnike Yena
UJesu akazange athandazele umhlaba. Kodwa uJesu wabathandazela labo, lowo uYise amnike wona. Wabathandazela labo, ababekholwa Kuye futhi bengabakaBaba. UJesu wathi kuBaba, ukuthi wayebagadile futhi waqinisekisa ukuthi akekho kubo owayelahlekile, ngaphandle kukaJuda. Kodwa uJesu wazi kusengaphambili, ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka, ukuze kugcwaliseke imibhalo.
UJesu akazange athandaze futhi wacela uBaba, ukuthi Wayezokhipha amakholwa kulomhlaba. Kodwa uJesu wakhuleka kuBaba, ukuthi wayezabavikela kokubi. UJesu wathandaza:
Abasibo abezwe, njengoba nami ngingesiye owezwe. Bangcwelise ngeqiniso lakho: izwi lakho liyiqiniso. Njengoba ungithumile emhlabeni, ngokunjalo nami ngibathumile emhlabeni. Futhi ngenxa yabo ngiyazingcwelisa, ukuze nabo bangcweliswe ngeqiniso.
Kangikhulekeli laba bodwa, kodwa lalabo abazakholwa kimi ngelizwi labo; Ukuze bonke babe munye; njengawe, Uyihlo, ubuciko kimi, nami ngikuwe, ukuze nabo babe munye kithi: ukuze izwe likholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile.
Nenkazimulo onginike yona ngibanikile bona; ukuze babe munye, njengoba thina simunye: Mina kubo, nawe kimi, ukuze bapheleliswe babe munye; ukuze izwe lazi ukuthi wena ungithumile, futhi ubathandile, njengoba ungithandile.
Uyihlo, Ngizokwenza nokuthi nabo, onginike bona, yiba nami lapho ngikhona; ukuze babone inkazimulo yami, onginike khona: ngoba wangithanda kungakasekelwa umhlaba. O Ubaba Olungile, izwe alikwazanga: kodwa mina ngikwazile, lalaba bayazi ukuthi ungithumile. Futhi ngimemezele kubo igama lakho, futhi uzokumemezela: ukuthi uthando olalo (UJohane 17:16-26)
UJesu akathandazelanga amakholwa kuphela, ababenaYe, kodwa wabuye wathandazela amakholwa, ababezokholwa Kuye, ngokutshunyayelwa kwelizwi, futhi ube yingxenye yabantu bakaNkulunkulu futhi ube ngabakhe.
UJesu wathandazela uPetru
INKOSI yathi, Simoni, Simoni, bheka, USathane Ufisa Ukuba Nawe, ukuze akwenze okukhohlakele njengokolweni: Kepha ngikukhulekele wena, Ukuthi ukholo lwakho lungahluleki: futhi lapho uguquliwe, Qinisa abafowenu. (Luka 22:31-32)
UJesu wamkhulekela uSimoni Petru; ngalokho okuzokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo. UJesu wayazi, ukuthi uSathane wayefuna ukuba noSimoni Petru futhi amgudluze njengamabele. Ngakho-ke uJesu wathandazela uSimoni Petru, ukuthi naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi waphika uJesu Kristu, ukholo lwakhe lwalungeke lwehluleke. Futhi umthandazo kaJesu waphendulwa (Funda futhi: USimoni Petru, indoda eyayimthanda uJesu).
Ngoba ngosuku lwe IPhentekoste, usuku lokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele kanye nokuzalwa kwendalo entsha; ibandla, UPetru wayenguye, ababehola phakathi kwabafundi bakaJesu.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungufakazi wami, engimkhonzayo ngomoya wami evangelini leNdodana yakhe, ukuze ngingaphezi ukulikhumbula njalo emikhulekweni yami; Ukwenza isicelo, ukuba mhlawumbe manje ekugcineni ngibe nohambo oluhle ngentando kaNkulunkulu ukuba ngize kini. (AmaRoma 1:9)
Manje-ke singamanxusa kaKristu, Njengokuthi uNkulunkulu Unincenga Ngathi: Siyanithandazela esifundweni sikaKristu, Yibabuyisane NoNkulunkulu. Ngoba wamenza ukuba abe yisono ngathi, Ngubani owayazi lutho; ukuze senziwe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kuye (2 AbaseKorinte 5:20-21)
Manje ngiyakhuleka kuNkulunkulu ukuba ningenzi okubi; hhayi ukuthi kufanele sibonakale sivunyiwe, kodwa ukuthi nenze ubuqotho, lanxa singaba njengabalahlwayo. Ngokuba asinakwenza lutho oluphambene neqiniso, kodwa ngeqiniso.

Kukhulekelwa abaholi bebandla
Ezincwadini zikaPawulu, asigcini nje ngokufunda ukuthi wayethandazela akholwa nabo, kodwa sifunda nokuthi uPawulu wacela amakholwa akanye nawo ukuba amkhumbule futhi amthandazele yena nalabo, ababenaye. UPawulu wabacela ukuba bathandaze, ukuze bashumayele izwi ngesibindi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzovula umnyango wokukhuluma, Ukukhuluma imfihlakalo kaKristu, ukuze izwi leNkosi libe nenkambo yesihle futhi likhazinyuliswe, ukuthi bazokhululwa kubantu abangenangqondo nababi; ngoba akusibo bonke abalokholo, ukuthi akhululwe kwabangakholwayo eJudiya, nokuba inkonzo yakhe eJerusalema yamukelwe ngabangcwele, nokuthi bazobuyela kwabangcwele futhi babaqinise futhi perbagcwalise lokho okwakuntula okholweni lwabo,

UPawulu nabanye abaphostoli babengabodwa, kodwa babeyingxenye yebandla likaJesu Kristu. Babekwazi lokho, kanye nabakholwa nabo babeyibandla kulo mhlaba. Babemunye emoyeni, ngoMoya. Nokushumayela nokugcina ivangeli neqiniso likaJesu Kristu namandla esiphambano, -nalutho, futhi uvikele ibandla ku amanga imfundiso kanye nabafundisi, owazama ukungena nokuthinta isonto, kwakudingeka umthandazo. Ngomthandazo, babhekile bahlala bephapheme emoyeni (Funda futhi: Wayesho ukuthini uJesu ngokuthi amasango esihogo ngeke anqobe iBandla Lami?).
Ibandla lamkhulekela uPetru
Lapho inkosi uHerode yelula izandla zayo ukuhlukumeza abathile bebandla, wabulala uJames, wabona ukuthi lokho kuyabathokozisa abaJuda, Inkosi uHerode yathatha uPetru yafaka uPetru etilongweni. Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi kwakungumkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo, wayehlose ukuletha uPetru kubantu ngemva kwePhasika. Ngesikhathi uPetru eboshiwe, ibandla lalikhuleka lingaphezi kuNkulunkulu lithandazela uPetru.
Endlini kaMariya, unina kaJohane, osibongo sakhe kwakunguMarku, kwabuthana amakholwa amaningi, akhuleka. Besakhuleka, UPetru wangqongqoza emnyango wesango. Lapho intombazane ifika ukubona ukuthi ubani owayengqongqoza futhi yezwa izwi likaPetru, akazange avule isango ngenxa yenjabulo, kodwa wagijima wangena watshela abanye ukuthi uPetro umi phambi kwesango. Zasho intombi ukuthi iyahlanya, kodwa lapho ehlala eqinisekisa ukuthi kunjalo, bathi ingelosi yakhe. Kodwa uPetru wayelokhu engqongqoza futhi lapho bevula umnyango bambona, bamangala. UPetru wafakaza futhi walandisa ukuthi iNkosi imkhiphe kanjani etilongweni (IzEnzo 12: 1-19).
Ngomthandazo webandla uPetru, iNkosi yayithumele ingelosi etilongweni, yamkhipha etilongweni. Ukube akholwa nabo nodadewabo bebengenzi lutho, bamatasa kakhulu nabo, futhi engakhulekanga, mhlawumbe uPetru wayezobulawa, njengoJames. Kungakho ibandla likaJesu Kristu lidinga ukukhuleka futhi liqhubeke likhuleka futhi lingapheli emthandazweni.
Uma amaKristu engabona ukubaluleka komthandazo futhi akholelwe ku Amandla Womkhuleko, kuzokwenzeka izinto ezinkulu. Kodwa uma uthandaza ngaphandle komkhuba noma uhlobo oluthile lomsebenzi wenkolo, ngaphandle kokukholwa ukuthi lokho okukhulekayo kuzokwenzeka, khona-ke akukho okuningi okuzokwenzeka. Ngoba ukuthandaza ngaphandle kokukholwa ngeke kufeze lutho.
Lokhu kuyasebenza nasemithandazweni yenyama, eziholwa yintando yomuntu. Ngeke basize kakhulu futhi. Kepha uma ukhuleka emva kukaMoya futhi uholwa Nguye futhi ukhuleka ngokwentando Yakhe futhi ukhulume amazwi Akhe, izakusiza kakhulu. Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyonika amandla amazwi akho, okungokwentando yakhe.
Alikho ibanga endaweni yomoya
Lapho uthandazela okholwa nabo, kubalulekile ukwazi, ukuthi alikho ibanga endaweni yomoya. Udeveli ufuna ukholwe, ukuthi awukwazi ukwenza okuningi ukude nokuthi akusizi ukuthandaza. Kodwa udeveli ukutshela lokho kuphela, ngoba ufuna ukukwenza ungasebenzi, ikakhulukazi uma kukhulunywa ngomthandazo. Iqiniso, ukuthi alikho ibanga endaweni yomoya.
Umuntu, othandaza ngenhliziyo ephendukile nezinikele kuNkulunkulu futhi athandaze amazwi Akhe, izosiza kakhulu. Kubalulekile ukwazi lokhu futhi ukukholelwe lokhu, ukuze nikhuleke ngokholo.
Makungabikho muntu okwenza ukholwe ukuthi ukukhuleka ukude akunangqondo futhi akufezi lutho. Manje, uyazi, ukuthi uma umuntu esho lokhu, uyazi ukuthi lawa mazwi avelaphi.
Uma ukukhuleka kude akusizi ngalutho, akunangqondo, futhi ayifezi lutho, pho kungani uPawulu acela ibandla ukuba limkhulekele kanye nalabo, ababenaye? Ngokukhuleka nangokukhuleka ngoMoya, UPawulu wayexhumene nebandla.
Encwadini kaPawulu eya ebandleni laseKorinte, sifunda ukuthi lapho ibandla selibuthene, umoya kaPawuli wawukhona (1 AbaseKorinte 5:4). Ngakho-ke, uyabona ukuthi alikho ibanga endaweni yomoya.
Kubalulekile, ukuthi awugxili kuphela kwabakholwa nabo endaweni yakini, ukubuthana, kanye nezwe, kodwa futhi uthandazela abafowenu nodadewenu abaphesheya. Okukakhulukazi, njengoba sewazi ukuthi ibanga alidlali uma uthandaza.
Bakhulekele labo, abahlala emazweni lapho amaKristu eshushiswa khona ngenxa yokholo lwawo kuKristu.
Ungenzi lutho, kodwa yiba njalo uhlale ukhuthele emoyeni. Hlala uphapheme futhi ubukele futhi ungayeki! Phikelelani futhi niqhubeke nithandazela abazalwane, ukuze bagcinwe ekukhohliseni nasekulingweni kukaSathane, nokuthi bangachezuki eZwini, kodwa phikelelani niqhubeke nimi eZwini.
