Ezweni elibi, amazwi kaNkulunkulu awabongi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngobani? Ngoba amazwi kaNkulunkulu awasekeli ububi nemisebenzi emibi kodwa abizela ekuphendukeni futhi abantu abakufuni lokho. Zingaki izithunywa uNkulunkulu azithumela nomlayezo wokuphenduka owabiza ukuphila kwazo? Izithunywa eziningi, kokubili esivumelwaneni esiDala nesiSha, bakhokhele inani ngokuphila kwabo ngenxa yesigijimi sabo. Futhi abantu basakhokha inani lomlayezo kaNkulunkulu. Ububi bukhulu emhlabeni, okubonakala emvelweni, izimpilo zabantu, kanye nokwanda kokushushiswa kwamaKristu, abashumayela ivangeli leqiniso likaKristu futhi babize abantu ekuphendukeni. Umhlaba ufuna ukuthulisa izithunywa, abangenelela ngezimpilo zabanye abantu. Kodwa ungasithulisa isithunywa, kodwa lokho akuwushintshi umlayezo.
Abaprofethi, owakhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu, bathuliswa
Abaprofethi beTestamente Elidala bacashunwa izikhathi eziningi ebandleni, ngenxa yamazwi, iziprofetho, nombono abawuthola kuNkulunkulu. Kodwa abavame ukungakutsheli, yilokho ukukhuluma kwamazwi kaNkulunkulu okwabalahlekisela.
Abaprofethi babengenakuphila okulula futhi abazange bahlale bebona ukuchuma, kodwa ukumelana, izithiyo, ukuhlupha, kanye nokuthunjwa. Nokho, abaprofethi babefana ngento eyodwa futhi kwakuwuthando nokwesaba kwabo uNkulunkulu.
Ngaphandle kothando nokwesaba uNkulunkulu, babengeke babe nesibindi futhi banikele ngokuphila kwabo ngenxa yesigijimi esimangalisayo nesiyigugu kakhulu ebusweni balo mhlaba., okungukuthi, isigijimi soPhezukonke.
Umlayezo weqiniso, okuveza amanga obumnyama, ubhekana nabantu ngemisebenzi yabo emibi, ubabizela ekuphendukeni, futhi ibabuyisele kuNkulunkulu, oPhezukonke, UMdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi.
Babevame ukuba bodwa, owavuka phakathi kwabantu abahlubukayo futhi washumayela isigijimi esiphikisana nentando yabantu. Umlayezo owawungewona omuhle ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi ujabulisa ukuzwa futhi uthandwa ngabantu
Ngoba umlayezo wawungajabulisi ukuzwa futhi ungathandwa ngabantu, laba baprofethi abanesibindi (isithunywa) babevame ukuthuliswa ngokubafaka ejele noma ngokubulawa kwabo.
Kodwa ukuthulisa izithunywa akuzange kuwushintshe umlayezo. Akuzange kushintshe lutho ngoNkulunkulu namazwi Akhe, Intando yakhe, isidingo sokuphenduka, isahlulelo, kanye nesiphetho saphakade sabantu.
UNkulunkulu waxwayisa abantu bakhe ngothando
UNkulunkulu waxwayisa abantu bakhe ngothando. Nokho, Uthando lwakhe aluzange luphindiselwe njalo. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi amazwi nezixwayiso zikaNkulunkulu zabiza ukuguqulwa kwendlela yokuphila futhi abantu babengakufuni lokho.
Babengamthandi uNkulunkulu, kodwa babezithanda bona futhi befuna ukufeza izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama yabo.
Ukuze bakwazi ukufeza izinkanuko nezifiso zenyama yabo, abaholi babantu bashintsha amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngokokuqonda kwabo, intando, futhi izifiso futhi wenza okubi kwaba kuhle futhi okuhle kube kubi.
Futhi uma kwafika isithunywa singenelela ezimpilweni zabo, futhi waphazamisa ezabo (-bi) isebenza, futhi wakhuluma ngokumelene nabo, babathulisa ngokukhipha umuntu.
Umprofethi uMikaya akazange ashumayele okuhle kodwa okubi kuphela
Thatha isibonelo sikaMikaya, indodana kaJimla, ngubani inkosi u-Ahabi, Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ezondile. Ngobani? Ngoba uMikaya akazange aprofethe okuhle ngeNkosi u-Ahabi, kepha okubi. Kodwa naphezu kombono weNkosi u-Ahabi mayelana namazwi kaMikaya, agcwaliseka amazwi kaMikaya.
Abantu bangaba nazo zonke izinhlobo zemibono futhi bazungeze ngo-yebo-amadoda, abakhuluma amazwi akhayo kuphela futhi basho lokho abantu abafuna ukukuzwa. Noma kunjalo, izikhathi eziningi laba bantu bazikhulumela ngokwabo. Bakhuluma okuyize ezingqondweni zabo nangenzuzo yabo, esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu noMoya waKhe. Ngenxa yalokho, bakhuluma amanga abantu esikhundleni seqiniso likaNkulunkulu. (Funda futhi: Ubabona kanjani abaprofethi bamanga esikhathini sethu?).
Inkosi u-Ahabi noJehoshafati, Inkosi yakwaJuda, base bezungezwe 400 yebo-amadoda, owama enkonzweni ka-Ahabi futhi bonke baprofetha ukuchuma.
Kwakukhona indoda eyodwa kuphela, owaprofetha okuphambene, njengoba iNkosi u-Ahabi yayilindele, futhi lowo kwakungumprofethi uMikaya, ababema enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu.
UMikaya akazange nje aprofethe okubi mayelana nesiphetho senkosi, kodwa uMikhaya wathi futhi 400 abaprofethi baprofetha ngomoya wamanga.
UJehova wawuvumela lowo moya ukuba uphume ube ngumoya wamanga emlonyeni wabaprofethi baka-Ahabi.
UMikaya wayengathandwa yinkosi. Kodwa ngenxa yamazwi akhe, UMikaya naye wayengathandwa yizo zonke lezi 400 abaprofethi.
Amazwi kaMikhaya awazange abangele ubunye kodwa intukuthelo phakathi kwabaprofethi. Njengomvuzo wamazwi akhe, UMikhaya wathola isibhakela esihlathini.
Ukwethembeka kukaMikaya kuNkulunkulu kwaholela etilongweni
UMikaya wayethembekile kuNkulunkulu. Akazange athonywe isithunywa senkosi, owazama ukumncenga ukuthi akhulume amazwi amahle, njengoba nje amazwi ka 400 abaprofethi, owamemezela okuhle enkosini. Kodwa uMikhaya wamtshela, ukuthi njengoba iNkosi iphila, wayezokhuluma kuphela lokho iNkosi emyale ukuba akukhulume.
UMikaya naye akazange ethuswe yinkosi. Futhi uMikaya akazange ethuswe yilezo 400 abaprofethi, abamemezela ukuthi bangabaprofethi beNkosi.
Ngenxa yokwethembeka kwakhe emazwini eNkosi uJehova, UMikaya akagcinanga nje ngokushaywa kodwa waboshwa. Ngenkathi omunye 400 abaprofethi, owaprofetha amanga waya ekhaya (1 Amakhosi 22, 2 IziKronike 18)
UMikaya wayengumprofethi. Kodwa kwakukhona nabanye, kuhlanganise nabapristi, abadela inkululeko yabo futhi ngezinye izikhathi baze bakhokha ngokuphila kwabo ngenxa yenkonzo yabo eNkosini.
Umlayezo onzima wesithunywa uZakariya, umpristi, wamlahlekisela ngokuphila kwakhe
Umpristi uZakariya, Ngokwesibonelo, indodana kaJehoyada, umpristi, wagcwaliswa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu. Washumayela umlayezo onzima, okungukuthi iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, owabiza izikhulu zakwaJuda, inkosi, owabalalela, kanye nabantu, ukuphenduka.
Inkosi yayilokhu ilalele uyise kaZakariya umpristi uJehoyada. Kodwa ngemva kokufa kukaJehoyada, inkosi yalalela izikhulu zakwaJuda. Nokho, izikhulu zakwaJuda zenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova. Babeyishiyile indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, bakhonza o-Ashera* nezithombe;. Ngakho ulaka lwehlela phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo.
UNkulunkulu wathumela abaprofethi kubo ukuze bababuyisele futhi eNkosini. Bafakaza ngokumelene nabo, kodwa abazange babalalele futhi baqhubeka nemisebenzi yabo emibi.
Lapho uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kukaZakariya, wathi ebantwini, kungani beqa imiyalo kaJehova ukuze bangabi nampumelelo. Ngoba babeyishiyile iNkosi, uJehova wayesebashiyile.
Kodwa esikhundleni sokuphenduka, abantu bathukuthela.
Abantu bamenzela ugobe, bamkhanda uZakariya ngamatshe ngesiyalezo senkosi egcekeni lendlu kaJehova..
Inkosi uJowashi ayikhumbulanga umusa kayise kuye, kepha yabulala indodana yayo (2 IziKronike 24).
UZakariya wakhuluma amazwi eNkosi ngamandla kaMoya futhi wakhandwa ngamatshe njengomvuzo.
Abaprofethi abaningi bakaNkulunkulu baboshwa kanye/noma babulawa
Izithunywa eziningi, ababekhethwe futhi bathunywe nguNkulunkulu bathuliswa ngenxa yesigijimi sabo. Izithunywa ezinjengo-Isaya, Jeremiya, uZakariya, futhi uJohane uMbhapathizi bashaywa, afakwe ejele, kanye/noma babulawe, ngenxa yothando lwabo, ukwethembeka, futhi besaba iNkosi uNkulunkulu futhi bafa njengabafel 'ukholo beNkosi (Oh. Jeremiya 20:2, Mathewu 14:1-12; 21:33-46, Luka 11:51, amaHebheru 11:33-40).
Nokho, ukufa kwabo akuzange kushintshe lutho mayelana neqiniso kanye namazwi kaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu waqhubeka ethumela izithunywa futhi wazinika amandla ngezwi nangoMoya Wakhe.
UNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe uJesu, owahlangabezana nesiphetho esifanayo
UJesu Kristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu naye wabhekana nesiphetho esifanayo. Ngemva kokuba uJesu ebhapathiziwe emanzini futhi wamukela uMoya oNgcwele futhi walingwa uSathane ehlane for 40 izinsuku wamelana noSathane, UJesu wahamba ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. UJesu washumayela ngesibindi uMbuso weZulu futhi wabiza abantu ukuba baphenduke.
Futhi njengezithunywa zeTestamente Elidala zathuliswa ngenxa yomlayezo wazo, bazama nokuthulisa uJesu. Ngoba uJesu wakhuluma amazwi kaYise futhi wafakaza ngemisebenzi yabo emibi (Oh. UJohane 5:30; 7:7; 8:38).
Nakuba abaningi, owayengowendlu ka-Israyeli, walalela ubizo lwakhe lokuphenduka, babebaningi futhi, kuhlanganise nabaholi babantu bakaNkulunkulu, abangawakholwanga amazwi Akhe futhi abalalelanga ubizo Lwakhe lokuphenduka.
Kubo uJesu wayengeyena uMesiya kodwa wayengumxabanisi, ababema endleleni yabo, futhi kulimaze isithunzi sabo emphakathini ngokudalula amanga abo, okufihliweyo kwezinhliziyo zabo, nemisebenzi yabo emibi. (Funda futhi: UJesu uphakathi kwabaholi abayizimpumputhe).
Kodwa uJesu akazange alungise amazwi akhe nomyalezo wakhe ukuze uhambisane nezifiso zabantu kanye nalokho abantu ababefuna ukukuzwa. Wahlala ethembekile kuBaba Wakhe futhi waqhubeka eshumayela amazwi kaYise, njengabaprofethi bakaNkulunkulu.
UJesu wathunjwa, -sophekile, futhi wabethelwa esiphambanweni
UJesu weza emhlabeni, kodwa wayengesuye owomhlaba (ubumnyama), kodwa umbuso weZulu. Ngakho-ke, UJesu akazange akhulume amazwi omhlaba kodwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu. UJesu wayazi ukuthi amazwi Akhe ayeyoholelaphi. Kodwa uthando ngoYise nokwesaba Kwakhe kwaqhuba uJesu ukuba afeze lokho ayekuzele.
Abantu bacabanga lokho ngokuthula lesiThunywa sika Nkulunkulu, ngokumthumba nokumbethela esiphambanweni, base bewuchithile umyalezo. Lokhu kwafakazela, ukuthi nakuba benza sengathi uNkulunkulu wabamisa, babengamazi uNkulunkulu. Babengawazi amazwi noMbuso Wakhe.
Ingqondo yabo yaba mnyama futhi bahlala ebumnyameni. Abantu babengawakholwa amazwi kaJesu, ngalokho babengazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngalolo Hlamvu lukakolweni, lapho izowela emhlabathini futhi ife (UJohane 12:24).
Babengabalanga isithelo sikakolweni
Babecabanga ukuthi sebemlahlile uJesu kanye nomyalezo Wakhe onzima futhi base bekwazi ukuqhubeka nokuphila kwabo kwakudala ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa. Kodwa babengabalanga isithelo sikakolweni.
Use Usuku lwePentekosti, umkhosi wolibo, amazwi kaNkulunkulu agcwaliseka futhi wonke 120 abafundi bakaJesu bagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Baphumela ngaphandle bashumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu nombuso weZulu babizela abantu ekuphendukeni.
Babemukele izilimi zomlilo, ngakho bonke baqala ukukhuluma ngezinye izilimi, efakaza ngemisebenzi emangalisayo kaNkulunkulu futhi emkhulisa.
UPetru waba ngowokuqala, owavuka washumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu wabiza abantu bakwa-Israyeli, ababebuthene eJerusalema ukugubha umkhosi wolibo (Umkhosi Wamaviki), ukuphenduka.
Izinkulungwane zalalela ubizo lokuphenduka futhi zasindiswa ngegazi likaJesu futhi zabuyisana noNkulunkulu.
Ngamazwi kaPetru nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, balahlwa ngesono, waphenduka, futhi wabhapathizwa. Banikela ukuphila kwabo kuJesu, Owayenikele ukuphila Kwakhe ngenxa yabo.
Kungani umyalezo kaNkulunkulu ungahlali uholela ekuphendukeni, kodwa ngolaka, ukumelana, nokushushiswa?
Futhi ngakho umlayezo washunyayelwa futhi usashunyayelwa. Naphezu kweqiniso, ukuthi izwe lizama ukuthulisa isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu. Ngoba njengamazwi kaNkulunkulu akhulunywa abaprofethi noJesu esivumelwaneni esidala nangabafundi bakhe esivumelwaneni esisha., ayengamukelwa ngaso sonke isikhathi abantu futhi awazange aholele ekuphendukeni njalo, kodwa kwabangela intukuthelo, ukumelana, futhi esikhundleni salokho, amazwi kaNkulunkulu asaholela entukuthelweni, ukumelana, nokushushiswa.
Ngobani? Ngoba amazwi kaNkulunkulu asafakaza ngemisebenzi emibi yomuntu owile (imisebenzi yenyama).
Amazwi kaNkulunkulu asabiza ukuphenduka, ukususwa kwesono, kanye nokubuyela kuNkulunkulu nokumlalela Yena neZwi laKhe.
Futhi akuwona wonke umuntu ozimisele ukunikela ngokuphila kwakhe futhi alahle imisebenzi yenyama ngenxa kaJesu.
Ukuthanda inyama nezwe kuvimbela abantu ekulandeleni uJesu nokumlalela nokumkhonza. (Funda futhi: Ukulandela uJesu kuzokubiza konke).
Ngoba abantu abafuni ukulahlwa, ukuzizwa kabi, futhi babhekane nokungcola kwabo kanye nemisebenzi emnyama yenyama, abantu bazama ukuthulisa isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu.
Ungasithulisa isithunywa, kodwa lokho akuwushintshi umlayezo
Kuyo yonke iminyaka akukho okushintshile, nakuba abantu becabanga ukuthi kukhona. Abantu basekhohlakele. Basayithanda imisebenzi emibi yenyama. Futhi uma isithunywa singakwazi ukuthonywa futhi umyalezo awukwazi ukulungiswa, khona-ke into eyodwa kuphela esele okufanele yenziwe futhi kungukuthulisa isithunywa, ngandlela thize.
Nokho, abantu bangenza konke okusemandleni abo ukuthulisa isithunywa, kodwa lokho akuwushintshi umlayezo.
