Ku 1 UThimothewu 5:20, UPawulu wabhala ngomdala owonayo nalokho uThimothewu okwakumelwe akwenze. UPawulu wayala uThimothewu ukuba angakutholi ukumangalela umdala ngaphandle kokuba icala lisekelwe kofakazi ababili noma abathathu.. Lapho icala lalisekelwe kofakazi ababili noma abathathu, UThimothewu kwadingeka akhuze umdala owonayo phambi kwebandla. Kungani uThimothewu kwadingeka akhuze umdala owonayo phambi kwabo bonke ebandleni? Yayiyini injongo engokomoya yokusola umdala owonayo obala?
Kwenzekani ngomdala owonayo ebandleni namuhla?
Ungamukeli icala elibhekene nomdala, kodwa phambi kofakazi ababili kumbe abathathu. Abonayo basole phambi kwabo bonke, ukuze labanye besabe (1 UThimothewu 5:20)
KuThimothewu 5:20 UPawulu wanikeza uThimothewu iziyalezo mayelana nomdala owonayo ebandleni nokuthi kwakufanele akhuze kanjani umdala owonayo phambi kwabo bonke.. Namuhla, amaKristu amaningi ayengase acabange noma asho ngokushesha: “Yeka into enokhahlo futhi enonya ongayenza!”, “O, lowomuntu ompofu (omdala)! Akufanele sikwenze ngaleyo ndlela, ngoba lowomuntu ompofu kakade wahlupheka ngokona” noma “IBhayibheli lisiyala ukuba sihambe othandweni, futhi lokhu akulona uphawu lokuhamba othandweni nokubonisa uthando kumakhelwane wakho. Akekho ofuna ukuba namahloni phambi kwebandla lonke, ngoba asiphelele, sonke siyona”.
AmaKristu amaningi asho lezi zinto ngoba bangabenyama esikhundleni sokomoya futhi nihambe ngokwenyama esikhundleni sikaMoya. Balawulwa futhi baholwa yimizwa yabo, imizwelo, Imibono, kanye nokutholakele, esikhundleni seZwi noMoya oNgcwele.
AmaKristu enyama awaguquli izimpilo zawo eZwini likaNkulunkulu, kodwa balungisa amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi Imiyalo kaJesu Kristu ngentando yabo, izinkanuko, kanye nezifiso. Bavala amehlo abo futhi benze izindlebe zabo zibe buthuntu eqinisweni likaNkulunkulu, okuyingozi kakhulu kuMzimba kaJesu Kristu.
Kulesi sihloko, omdala ubhalwe ngendlela yesilisa ngoba kulula ukuyifunda. Kodwa kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane.
Lithini ibhayibheli ngabadala ebandleni?
Umdala uyalwa eNkosini uJesu Kristu futhi uyinxusa loMbuso kaNkulunkulu, njengoba wonke umKristu kufanele abe. Umdala kufanele ahambe ngokulunga futhi angabi nacala (okusho ukungabi nazono empilweni yakhe). Kufanele abe yindoda emfazi munye, ukuba nabantwana abathembekile, abangasolwa ngokuxokozela noma abangalawuleki.
Umdala kufanele angabi nacala, njengomphathi kaNkulunkulu; hhayi ngokuthanda wena, hhayi ngokushesha ukuthukuthela, hhayi iwayini, akekho umgadli, enganikezwanga imali engcolile.
Umdala kufanele abe umthandi wokungenisa izihambi, othanda amadoda amahle, ehluzekile, nje, '-ngcwele, futhi ezithobile. Kufanele abambelele ezwini elithembekile njengoba efundisiwe, ukuze ngemfundiso ephilileyo abe namandla okukhuthaza, nokukholisa ophikayo.
Umdala kufanele yalusa umhlambi kaNkulunkulu. Kufanele aqondise kuso, kungeyisikho ngokuvinjelwa, kodwa ngokuzithandela; kungeyisikho ngenzuzo engcolileyo, kodwa ngengqondo elungile; futhi hhayi njengenkosi phezu kwefa likaNkulunkulu. Kodwa umdala kufanele abe isibonelo emhlambini (IzEnzo 14:23, UThimothewu 1:6-9, 1 UPetru 5:1-3).
Abadala bangaboMbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi bawumelele
-Nke ozelwe ngokusha uMkristu, kuhlanganise nomdala, uyisakhamuzi soMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Njengesakhamuzi soMbuso kaNkulunkulu, kufanele ulalele umthetho kanye nemithetho yeNkosi noMbuso Wayo.
NjengomKrestu ozelwe ngokusha, uyinxusa; ummeleli kaJesu Kristu noMbuso waKhe.
Awuseyena ummeleli wobumnyama. Lokhu kusho ukuthi awuphili ngokuzithoba kumbusi wobumnyama futhi umlalele. Awukwenzi lokho usathane, Umhlaba, kanye nawe (umphefumulo nomzimba) sho futhi uyale ukuba wenze. Kodwa nibethele inyama kuKristu futhi niphila ngokuzithoba kuKristu futhi nimlalele (iZwi).
Futhi abakaKristu babethele esiphambanweni inyama kanye nokuhuheka nezinkanuko. (KwabaseGalathiya 5:24)
Umdala owonayo unodeveli njengoyise
Lapho umdala ona, kusho ujuthi, ukuthi umdala walalela futhi walalela udeveli esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. Umdala, ozona, uhlubuka uNkulunkulu futhi angalaleli iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngokufeza izifiso nezinkanuko zenyama yakhe. Ngesenzo sakhe sokungalungi, umuntu unqabe iZwi futhi waphika uJesu Kristu. I isenzo somdala sibonisiwe lowo uphila ngaphansi kwegunya lakhe futhi lowo amlalelayo.
Nina ningabakayihlo uSathane, lezinkanuko zikayihlo lizazenza. Wayengumbulali kusukela ekuqaleni, futhi ahlala eqinisweni, ngoba alikho iqiniso kuye. Uma ekhuluma amanga, ukhuluma okwakhe: ngoba ungumqambimanga, noyise wayo. Futhi ngoba ngithi kini iqiniso, awungikholwa. Yimuphi kini ongikholisa ngesono? Futhi uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, kungani ningangikholwa? Lowo ongokaNkulunkulu uyawezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu: ngalokho anibezwa, ngoba kalisibo abakaNkulunkulu (UJohane 8:44-47)
Bheka insimu yase-Edene, lapho u-Adamu no-Eva belalela inyoka; usathane. Balalela futhi bayikholelwa inyoka futhi benza ngokuvumelana neseluleko sayo (amazwi akhe). Nakuba uNkulunkulu wayecacile futhi wabaxwayisa, luhlobo luni lobubi obungabehlela, uma bedle emthini owenqatshelwe.
Naphezu kwesixwayiso sikaNkulunkulu, esikhundleni salokho bakholwa nguSathane. Ngesenzo sabo sokudla emthini owenqatshelwe, balahla uNkulunkulu nezwi neqiniso Lakhe futhi balalela udeveli namanga akhe futhi bona.
Kuyafana kuwo wonke umuntu, ohamba ezonweni. Bona lahla uJesu (iZwi) nemiyalo yaKhe, futhi nikholwe futhi nilalele amanga kadeveli, osebenza ngenyama nangenqubo yezwe.
Kungani uThimothewu kwadingeka akhuze umdala owonayo ngaphambi kwakho konke?
UPawulu wayala uThimothewu ukuba akhuze umdala owonayo, phambi kwebandla lonke, ukuze wonke amakholwa abe nakho, futhi ugcine ukwesaba nokwesaba uNkulunkulu uSomandla; uMdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi.
Ukwesaba iNkosi kwakumele kuhlale ebandleni. Ngoba ngaphandle kwalo, amakholwa ayengena ezindleleni azikhethele wona. Babeyokwenza lokho abafuna ukukwenza futhi baphile ngokwentando yabo esikhundleni sentando yabo Intando yakhe.
Amakholwa kwakumele azi, ukuthi awukwazi ukudlala umdlalo noNkulunkulu uSomandla futhi lokhu kusenjalo.
Uyajabula umuntu owesaba njalo: kepha oyenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe uyakuwela ebubini (Izaga 28:14)
Ungabi sivivi ngokomoya
UPawulu wayala uThimothewu ukuba alalele futhi agcine lo myalo. Ukuze amakholwa angabi sivivi ngokomoya kuNkulunkulu futhi angabi nandaba nesono. UPawulu wabona isimo esingokomoya sebandla. Wayebona izindawo zomoya: umbuso kaNkulunkulu kanye nombuso wobumnyama.
Ngakho uPawulu wayazi, ukuthi nxa umdala owonayo, uzofundisa abakholwayo iZwi likaNkulunkulu, lomoya omubi owawubusa empilweni yomdala owonayo, yayizofika phezu kwawo wonke amakholwa ebandleni.
Kungakho uPawulu wayeqinile futhi ecophelela ngokuvumela nokuqoka amakholwa ezikhundleni zobuholi. UPawulu wayazi kahle kakhulu, siyini isono nokuthi isono esingasiveza empilweni yomuntu. Wayazi, ukuthi lapho isono sivunyelwe futhi samukelwa ebandleni, kwakungeke kuthathe isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba lonke ibandla lithinteke ngobubi futhi lalizofa ngokomoya.
Lapho umdala ehamba esonweni, kusho ukuthi umuntu uhamba ebumnyameni kanye nalobo bubi (ubumnyama) likhona enhliziyweni yomdala.
Abadala kufanele baphile ukuphila okungcwele futhi bahambe ngokulunga
Ezincwadini eziningi, ukuthi uPawulu akulobela abangcwele, wabanxusa njalo ukuba baphile ngcwele, bahambe ngokulunga, bakhumule umuntu omdala. Njalo uPawulu wayekhumbuza amakholwa, lokho ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, base beba a indalo entsha. Wabafundisa, kufanele bahambe kanjani njengesidalwa esisha, kulokhu okusha (ngokomoya) ukuphila, lokho bakuphiwa kuKristu ngu umusa kaNkulunkulu.
Ngoba njengoNkulunkulu, UJesu Kristu, noMoya oNgcwele, Ophila kuMkristu ozelwe ngokusha ngoMoya, bangcwele futhi balungile, kufanele kanjalo nomKristu ozelwe ngokusha, owenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, yibani ngcwele nihambe ekulungeni.
Njengezingane ezilalelayo, lingazilungisi izinkanuko zenu zakuqala ekungazini kwenu: kodwa njengalokhu onibizile ungcwele, Manje yiba ngcwele ngazo zonke izingxoxo; Ngoba kulotshiwe, Yiba Ngcwele; Ngoba ngingcwele. (1 UPetru 1:14-17)
UNkulunkulu unikile amadodana Akhe (kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), konke kuKristu. Lokhu kusho, ukuthi ubusise amadodana akhe ngazo zonke izibusiso zomoya ezindaweni eziPhakeme, ukuze bakwazi ukuphila ubungcwele futhi bahambe ngokulunga futhi bamelele futhi babonakalise uMbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
Ukuhamba ngobungcwele nokulunga kusho ukungena ukulalela uNkulunkulu neZwi lakhe.
Ngegazi likaJesu futhi Umsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga, Waba yindalo entsha, owenziwe waba ngcwele futhi walunga. Ngakho-ke, uzophila futhi uhambe njengesidalwa esisha ebungcweleni nasekulungeni. NjengoJesu wahamba ebungcweleni nasekulungeni, ngokulalela uYise nangokwenza intando yaKhe.
Inqobo nje uma ulalele iZwi, futhi ulalele futhi wenze iZwi, uhlala kuKristu futhi uphile ngokukaMoya enkululekweni.
Umoya wokubandlulula ebandleni
Ningakhethi abantu ekwahluleleni; kodwa lizakuzwa omncane lomkhulu; ungabesabi ubuso bomuntu; ngoba ukwahlulela kungokukaNkulunkulu: nesizathu esinzima kakhulu kuwe, ngilethe kimi, futhi ngizokuzwa (Duteronomi 1:17)
Bafowethu, ningabi nokukholwa yiNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, iNkosi yenkazimulo, ngokuhlonipha abantu (UJames 2:1)
UThimothewu kwakufanele awugcine lo myalo, naphezu kobudlelwane bakhe nomdala owonayo; ukwazana okuqhelile, umngane, noma ilungu lomndeni, futhi naphezu kwakhe (social) isimo nengcebo.
UThimothewu akakwazanga ukuvumela noma yikuphi ukubandlulula esontweni. Kwakufanele aphathe abantu ngokulinganayo, kuhlanganise nabadala abonayo.
Uma uThimothi ephatha abantu ngendlela engalingani, yayizokhombisa, ukuthi wayebuswa umoya wokukhetha. (Funda futhi: Umoya ka-Eli).
Ibandla kumele limphathe kanjani umdala owonayo?
Ebandleni Lanamuhla, akuvamile noma akwenzeki, ukuthi umdala owonayo noma umshumayeli owonayo uyasolwa phambi kwebandla. Ezinsukwini zakudala, kwakungokwemvelo ukuthi umdala owonayo avume izono zakhe futhi waphenduka phambi kwebandla lonke nokuthi wakhishwa esikhundleni sakhe waphucwa izikhali emisebenzini yakhe.
Kepha namuhla cishe yonke 'indaba' ebuholini bokomoya ixazululwa ngemuva kweminyango evaliwe endaweni yangasese. Izikhathi eziningi kugcinwa kuyimfihlo.
Ngezinye izikhathi, kodwa hhayi njalo, umdala owonayo uzosuswa esikhundleni okwesikhashana, ukuze ‘udaba’ ludambise. Kodwa ngemva kwesikhashana, lowo muntu uyophinde agcotshwe njengomdala ebandleni elilodwa noma kwelinye ibandla.
Esihlokweni esedlule, kuxoxiwe ngokugcotshwa kabusha komdala owonayo. Ngakho-ke lokhu ngeke kuxoxwe ngakho kulesi sihloko. Uma ungakayifundi indaba, futhi ngingathanda ukuyifunda, bese ungachofoza isixhumanisi esilandelayo: Wayesho ukuthini uPawulu ngokubeka izandla kungazelele muntu?
I Egameni lothando lwamanga nomusa isono siyamukelwa ebandleni
Ukukhuza umdala owonayo phambi kwabantu akusewona umkhuba. Iphushwa ngaphansi kwengubo ye uthando nomusa, futhi ixazululwe endaweni eyimfihlo. Kodwa lena akuyona indlela kaNkulunkulu (kanye noJesu) ufuna ibandla libhekane nezono.
I umzimba kaKristu; ibandla linye futhi alihlukene futhi kufanele liphile ngcwele.
Ibandla lidinga ukulalela uJesu; iZwi, Esikhundleni sikaDeveli; Umhlaba.
Ikakhulukazi abadala nabaholi bebandla kufanele bavuthwe ngokomoya futhi bahambe njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu amadala belandela iZwi noMoya futhi bathwale isithelo sikaMoya. Kufanele baphile ngokungcwele nangokulunga futhi babe isibonelo kumaKristu.
Kufanele bakhulise amakholwa eZwini likaNkulunkulu, ukuze bafane nabo, futhi njengoJesu.
Ngeshwa, abadala abaningi bahlala bengokwenyama. Baholwa umoya walelizwe futhi baphila njengezwe. Bavumela isono futhi bamukele izono ebandleni.
Bashintsha ivangeli likaJesu Kristu entandweni yabo yenyama, izinkanuko nezifiso. Bayizikhulumi ezinekhono lokukhuluma, abaguqula ivangeli likaJesu Kristu kanye namazwi kaNkulunkulu abe yintando yabo yenyama, Imibono, imizwa, imizwelo, okutholakele kanye nentando, izinkanuko,, lezifiso zenyama, ukuze amaKristu enyama, kuhlanganise nabo, angaphila njengomhlaba, benza abakuthandayo, baqhubeke behamba ezonweni.
Iyini inhloso yokukhuza isono phambi kwabo bonke ebandleni?
Iyini inhloso yokukhuza umdala owonayo phambi kwabo bonke ebandleni? Lapho izono zomdala zidalulwa ebandleni futhi umdala owonayo akhuzwe phambi kwabo bonke, bese ephuma ehhovisi, izoqinisekisa lokho:
- AmaKristu agcina ukwesaba iNkosi (inhlonipho) futhi ube nenhlonipho ngoNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe
- AmaKristu ayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu olungileyo futhi uzonda isono futhi Yena (nabantu baKhe) angeke abe nenhlanganyelo nesono
- AmaKristu ayakhuthazwa futhi ayanxuswa ukuba aphile ukuphila okungcwele futhi amelane nesono, futhi uhlale ulalela iZwi
- AmaKristu ahlala ethembekile futhi azimisele ngezinto zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi awavilaphi futhi asivivi
- IBandla lihlala ephapheme futhi eqaphile futhi uqaphele isono nemiphumela yaso
- Ukuhleba nokuqagela ngale ndaba nomdala owonayo, izovinjelwa ebandleni
Umdala kufanele enze lokho umdala akushumayelayo
Lapho umdala owonayo ehlala egcotshiwe noma ezomiswa kabusha ngemva kwesikhashana bese ebuyela esonweni esifanayo., ngabe umdala usathembekile? Lapho umdala owonayo eyala amakholwa ukuba ahlale elalela iZwi futhi aphile ngokuvumelana nalokho okushiwo iBhayibheli, kodwa umdala akakwenzi futhi akakwenzi lokho akushumayelayo, ucabanga ukuthi amakholwa azohlonipha umdala akholwe futhi alalele imiyalelo yakhe?
Abadala abaningi bafana ncamashí nabaFarisi, ababekhonza uNkulunkulu, bephila ukuphila okungcwele phambi kwabantu. Bayala abantu ukuthi balalele amazwi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ekusithekeni, lapho kungekho owabukelayo, abalalelanga iZwi likaNkulunkulu. uJesu, Owayeyizibulo lesidalwa esisha, wabona futhi wazi konke ngoMoya. Wayezazi izinhliziyo zabo futhi wembula izinhliziyo zabo phambi kwabantu. UJesu akazange afihle lutho futhi akazange afihle, kodwa wadalula ububi futhi wabhubhisa imisebenzi yobumnyama.
UJesu usabona futhi wazi konke. NgoMoya Oyingcwele, Usaveza okwenzeka ebumnyameni. Wembula konke, inqobo nje uma ibandla liqhubeka nokuhamba ekukhanyeni kwaKhe.
Ukuvuma isono phambi kwabo bonke
Lapho ezinsukwini zakudala, abadala abonayo bazivuma izono zabo phambi kwabo bonke, kwaqinisekisa ukuthi abadala bacabanga kabili ngaphambi kokuba balalele inyama yabo futhi bavumele intando, izifiso nezinkanuko zenyama nesono sabo. Baqhubeka bemesaba uNkulunkulu futhi behlonipha iZwi laKhe. Babengeke balokothe baguqule noma yini mayelana namazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye lungisa iZwi ezifisweni nasezinkanukweni zabo.
Akekho owayefuna ‘ukuthotshiswa’ phambi kwabantu. Akekho owayefuna ukuphawulwa njengomdala owonayo.
Abantu babephapheme ngokomoya futhi beqaphile. Kwakukhona ukumesaba uJehova nokuqaphela isono.
Babazi ukuthi isono siwuphawu lokuhlubuka nokungamlaleli uNkulunkulu. Babazi ukuthi isono asinandawo ebandleni. Ngoba ibandla limele ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kanye negunya likamoya lika uMbuso kaNkulunkulu Kumhlaba.
AmaKristu ayazi ukuthi isono sisho ukulalela udeveli nokuthi isono sabangela ukwehlukana phakathi kwawo noNkulunkulu.
Emabandleni anamuhla anamuhla, isono sivunyelwe. Umdala owonayo akasakhuzwa phambi kwabantu futhi ngenxa yalokho ukwesaba uJehova kucishe kuphele. Asikho isifiso phakathi kwabantu sokumelana nesono nokuphila ukuphila okungcwelisiwe nobungcwele kuKristu.
AmaKristu amaningi afuna ukuphila njengezwe futhi awafuni ukudela ukuphila kwawo. Bahlala bengokwenyama futhi baphile impilo yabo siqu ngokulandela inyama.
Umdala owonayo uklolodela uJesu futhi ulimaza uMbuso kaNkulunkulu
Abavakashi besonto abasabhekani nezono zabo. Abalungiswa, ngoba abadala nabashumayeli abaningi bahamba ezonweni bona. Benza lokho okubathokozisayo futhi bagxile kubo nombuso wabo. Abanandaba nenhlalakahle kamoya yamakholwa kanye noMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Zikhathi zonke, lapho umdala noma umshumayeli enza isono, uklolodela uJesu futhi ungcolisa umzimba kaKristu futhi ulimaza uMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Umdala noma umshumayeli owonayo, aluhambi othandweni futhi alumthandi uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke. Kodwa umdala owonayo uzithanda yena nenyama yakhe ngaphezu kwakho konke. Uyisigqila somzimba wakhe nokaSathane.
Lalela uJesu umelane nesono
Asi, ngakho-ke, phinda uzimisele ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Kufanele kube nesifiso kuwo wonke amakholwa ukulalela uJesu futhi aphile ubungcwele futhi ahambe ngokulunga entandweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba ikholwa liMthanda ngaphezu kwakho konke ikholwa ligcina imiyalo Yakhe.
Melana nezono, esiza ngezilingo zikasathane enyameni. Ithi cha ukona, esikhundleni sokuba a Isigqila Sesono.
UJesu wasinqoba isono ngomsebenzi Wakhe ophelele wokuhlenga. Mina uzelwe kabusha (inyama yakho yafa kuKristu, nomoya wakho uvusiwe kwabafileyo) Uyindalo entsha. Uhlezi kuKristu futhi ukunikeze konke okudingayo ukuze umelane nodeveli nesono futhi ubonakalise uMbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
Akekho osenezaba. Akekho ongasola omunye, ngisho nosathane. Wonke umKristu unesibopho ngezenzo zakhe siqu ekuphileni futhi uyolandisa ngoSuku olukhulu Lokwahlulela.
‘Yiba usawoti womhlaba’
