Wonke umuntu kufanele abhekane nezimo nezimo zokuphila ezingaba mnandi noma zingajabulisi kangako. Njengoba amaKristu amaningi ehlala engokwenyama, imizwa yabo, imizwelo nokuziphatha kuncike ezimweni nasezimweni zabo. Umzuzwana owodwa baphezulu futhi umzuzwana olandelayo baphansi. Lapho konke kuhamba kahle futhi ngokwentando yabo, bajabule futhi bajabule futhi bangathatha umhlaba. Kodwa uma nje behlangabezana nezihibe futhi izinto zingahambi ngendlela abebehlele ngayo noma njengoba bekulindelekile, bathuke bacindezelwe, -nokufisa, ekhathazekile, ethukuthele, futhi uqale ukukhononda nokukhononda. Uzivimbela kanjani ekubeni isisulu sezimo ngokweBhayibheli?
Mangaki amaKristu avumela izimo zibuse ezimpilweni zabo?
AmaKristu amaningi avumela izimo zawo ukuba zilawule ukuphila kwawo futhi avumele izimo zawo zilawule ukuphila kwawo. Ngezinye izikhathi izimo zingathatha indawo enkulu ekuphileni kwamaKrestu kangangokuthi abe isisulu nesiboshwa sezimo.
Lapho izimo zilawula impilo yakho, uzophuthelwa yizinto ezinhle empilweni. Ngeke ube nenjabulo, injabulo, nokuthula, kodwa izimo zinethonya elibi elilimazayo empilweni yakho futhi zibangele ukukhathazeka, ukwesaba, ukunganeliseki, intukuthelo, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nokucindezeleka.
Uma uzinaka kakhulu izimo, lapho uzoba matasa kakhulu ngezimo zakho kanye nendawo enkulu izimo ezifika ngayo empilweni yakho, futhi kunkulu isiphithiphithi nokubhujiswa empilweni yakho.
Amandla okubhubhisa esiphepho
Kufana nesiphepho (noma isishingishane, noma isishingishane) lokho kubangela ukucekelwa phansi kwezindawo. ‘Ukunikezwa kwamandla’ kunquma amandla esiphepho. Uma isiphepho sithola amandla afanele, khona-ke amandla azokwanda ngamandla futhi umphumela wawo ubonakale ekubhujisweni okubangelwa yisiphepho. Isiphepho sicekela phansi konke okufika endleleni.
Ungase usho, ukuthi isiphepho sisikhombisa endaweni yemvelo, lokho okubangelwa udeveli namademoni endaweni kamoya ezimpilweni zabantu.
Usathane akayena umngani wabantu. Nakuba usathane efuna ukholwe ukuthi ungumngane wakho.
Kungase kubonakale, ukuthi udeveli unezinhloso ezinhle kakhulu ngempilo yakho, Ngenkathi ngingokoqobo, udeveli une-ajenda efihliwe futhi unezinhloso ezimbi kakhulu ngempilo yakho.
UDeveli uyeza ukweba, bulala, futhi ubhubhise, ngoba lokho kuyisimilo sakhe (UJohane 10:10).
Okokuqala usathane uzontshontsha ubudlelwano bakho noNkulunkulu, ngoba ufuna ukuba unkulunkulu wempilo yakho.
Lapho eba unkulunkulu wempilo yakho, uyakweba intokozo yakho, ukuthula, injabulo, futhi ugcwalise ingqondo yakho ngamanga akhe aphikisana neZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi abangele ukubhujiswa empilweni yakho.
Usathane uyokudukisa futhi akulinge ukuba wenze isono ukuze akugcine emandleni akhe, eboshelwe esonweni, futhi akuholele ekufeni. Ngoba iZwi lisho, ukuthi isono siholela ekufeni (AmaRoma 6:16). Futhi yilokho kanye udeveli akufunayo.
UDeveli ufuna ukubhubhisa nokubulala abantu futhi abaholele ekufeni, ukuze angabi yedwa, ozaphonswa echibini lomlilo (IsAmbulo 20:14-15).
Usebenzisa konke (ngokomoya) isikhali kanye nendlela anayo ukufeza umgomo wakhe. Yingakho ke, udeveli akasebenzisi imicabango nabantu kuphela, kodwa nezinkinga, izimo nezimo zokufeza inhloso yakhe futhi akwenze isiboshwa sezimo ukuze abhubhise impilo yakho. Kodwa uNkulunkulu uhlale enendlela yokuphuma.
Njengesishingishane, kukhona indawo eyodwa, lapho umuntu eyosindiswa khona. Leyo ndawo ephephile isesweni lesiphepho. Ehlweni lesiphepho, awekho amandla okubhubhisa. Kunalokho, kukhona ukuthula nomoya ozolile.
Indawo ekuKristu ifana neso lesiphepho
Lapho uzalwa kabusha kuKristu, uhlezi kuKristu. Uma nje uhlala kuKristu (iZwi), futhi uholwe Nguye kanye namazwi Akhe futhi ingqondo yakho ihlale igxile Kuye, uzokuzwa ukuthula nenjabulo Yakhe, naphezu kwezimo nezimo empilweni yakho.
Uzokwenza ukumelana nesiphepholokho kuza endleleni yakho ngoba unokholo kuNkulunkulu futhi uyazi ukuthi usindisiwe kuKristu.
Uyazi ukuthi isandla sikaNkulunkulu kuphezu kwempilo yakho futhi ukuthi ngeke kudingeke wesabe.
Ekugcineni, bazalwane, noma yiziphi izinto eziyiqiniso, noma yiziphi izinto ezithembekile, noma yiziphi izinto ezilungile, noma yiziphi izinto ezihlanzekile, noma yiziphi izinto ezithandekayo, loba yiziphi izinto ezilodumo oluhle; uma kukhona okuhle, futhi uba kukhona ukudunyiswa, cabanga ngalezi zinto. Lezo zinto, enikufundile nobabili, futhi wamukelwe, futhi wezwa, futhi kubonakale kimi, enza: futhi uNkulunkulu wokuthula uyakuba nani (AbaseFilipi 4:8-9)
Uyomgcina ngokuthula okuphelele, Okomqondo kabani ohlala kuwe: ngoba uthembela kuwe (Isaya 26:3)
Ngakho-ke, aniyikugxila ezivunguvungwini; izimo nezimo futhi uziphakele futhi uzivumele zilawule impilo yakho. Kodwa uzogxila eZwini futhi wenze lokho iZwi elikutshela ukuthi ukwenze futhi uvumele iZwi lilawule impilo yakho.
Uyohlala kuKristu, futhi uqhubeke ume eZwini nasekukholweni kwakho kuKristu, uzokhuluma ngezimo nezimo.
Kungani kunosizi olungaka, ukwesaba, isiphithiphithi, futhi akukho ukuthula phakathi kwamaKristu?
Usho kanje uJehova, uMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli; NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho okufundisayo ukuze uzuze, okuholela endleleni omelwe ukuhamba ngayo. Sengathi ubuyilalele imiyalo yami! khona ukuthula kwakho kungaba njengomfula, nokulunga kwakho njengamaza olwandle (Isaya 48:17-18)
Luningi usizi, ukwesaba, isiphithiphithi, ukucasuka nokuthula phakathi kwamaKristu ngenxa yokuthi abalifundi iBhayibheli futhi abawakholelwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, abakwenzi lokho iZwi elibatshela ukuba bakwenze. Kunalokho, bakholelwa ekuhlakanipheni kwezwe futhi balalela izwe futhi benze lokho izwe elibatshela ukuba bakwenze
AmaKristu amaningi awajabule kodwa khononda futhi ukhononde ngaso sonke isikhathi. Bavumela izimo nezimo ukuba zilawule ukuphila kwabo.
Izimo nezimo ziba yisizinda sempilo yabo, esikhundleni sikaJesu Kristu; iZwi liyisizinda sempilo yabo. Manje, baba isiboshwa sezimo.
Babuza umhlaba futhi basebenzise izindlela nezindlela zenyama, ezitholakala ekuhlakanipheni nasekwazini kwalomhlaba, ukugcina ikhanda labo ngaphezu kwamanzi futhi bafunde indlela yokubhekana nesimo nezimo ezimpilweni zabo.
Kodwa konke lokhu kuhlakanipha kwenyama nezindlela zezwe ngeke kubasize noma kuzobasiza okwesikhashana. Ngoba ngokushesha nje lapho kuvela enye inkinga noma isimo esilandelayo, babuyele esimeni sokuqala baphinde baba isiboshwa sezimo futhi.
Lokhu kwenzeka ngoba abekho igxilile eZwini, kodwa emhlabeni.
Ungakuvimbela kanjani ekubeni yisiboshwa sezimo?
Uma ufuna ukuvimbela ekubeni yisiboshwa sezimo, kufanele ubheke kuJesu Kristu. UJesu Kristu uyisixazululo futhi impendulo kuphela kuzo zonke izinkinga, isimo, kanye nesimo empilweni. Uma nje uhlala esweni lesiphepho, okusho ukuthi inqobo nje uma usahleli kuKristu futhi wenza lokho iZwi elikutshela ukuthi ukwenze, uzothola injabulo nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu, okudlula ukuqonda konke.
Ngoba iZwi lisho: Umfana wami, ungakhohlwa umthetho wami; kepha inhliziyo yakho mayigcine imiyalo yami: Ubude bezinsuku, nempilo ende, nokuthula, bayakwenezela kuwe (Izaga 3:1-2)
Banokuthula okukhulu abathanda umthetho wakho: futhi akukho lutho oluyobakhubekisa (Amahubo 119:165)
Nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu, okudlula ukuqonda konke, uzogcina izinhliziyo zakho nengqondo yakho ngoKristu Jesu (AbaseFilipi 4:7)
Lapho uhamba emva kukaMoya futhi ulalela uJesu Kristu; iZwi futhi enze intando yaKhe, isimo sakho sengqondo ngeke sincike ezimweni nasezimweni zokuphila kwakho.
Ngeke uvumele izimo ukuthi zilawule impilo yakho ukuze ube yisisulu sikadeveli nesiboshwa sezimo. Akumele uvumele izimo ukuthi zidale umonakalo empilweni yakho. Kunalokho, uzophakama ngaphezu kwezimo.
Inqobo nje uma ugxilile futhi ugxilile eZwini futhi wenza lokho iZwi elikutshela ukuba ukwenze, uzohlala kuKristu ngakho-ke ungathuki, khathazeka, yesabani, futhi enze ngokuvumelana nenyama, kodwa uyozwa futhi ugcine injabulo nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu empilweni yakho futhi wenze ngokoMoya.
Ukuhlala kuKristu, ukuba ngumnqobi esikhundleni sokuba isisulu
Uzobhekana nezivunguvungu empilweni yakho, kodwa esikhundleni sokuba yisisulu sezimo uyoba umnqobi wezimo. Uzophila ngaphezu kwezimo nezimo, lapho uzothola khona ukuphumula nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu.
UJesu nguye yedwa, Onika ukuthula nokuphila. Uma nje uphakela futhi vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi futhi uhlale uthembekile eZwini futhi uhlale eZwini ukuze iZwi lihlale kuwe, uzothola ukuphumula futhi ube nokuthula engqondweni yakho nasempilweni yakho.
Ngoba uJesu uthi: Ukuthula ngihamba nawe, ukuthula kwami nginipha khona: hhayi njengoba umhlaba unika, ngininike kuwe. Inhliziyo yakho mayingakhathazeki, futhi akesabi (UJohane 14:27)
