Umoya ka-Eli usebenza emasontweni amaningi. Kodwa uyini umoya kaEli? Uwubona kanjani umoya ka-Eli?? Yiziphi izici eziyinhloko zomoya ka-Eli? Ukuze uphendule le mibuzo, kufanele sibheke eBhayibhelini impilo ka-Eli. U-Eli wayengumpristi omkhulu nomahluleli wakwa-Israyeli futhi enamadodana amabili. Amadodana amabili ka-Eli ayengabapristi oHofini noFinehasi. Nakuba amadodana ka-Eli azalelwa njengabapristi, abazange bamesabe uNkulunkulu futhi abahambanga ngendlela abapristi okufanele bahambe ngayo ngemiyalo nezimiso zikaNkulunkulu.. Amadodana ka-Eli asebenzisa kabi isikhundla sawo njengabapristi ngenxa yezinkanuko nezifiso zenyama yawo. Nakuba amadodana ka-Eli ayembethe izingubo zobupristi futhi ebonakala enokholo, phakathi kwamadodana ka-Eli ayengamadodana kaBheliyali nezimpisi eziphangayo, owenza abantu beNkosi baphambe.
Ngokubukeka kwabo kwangaphandle kanye nehhovisi, amadodana ka-Eli ayengabameleli bakaNkulunkulu, kodwa iqiniso laliwukuthi amadodana ka-Eli ayengamazi uNkulunkulu futhi awazange ahambe Izindlela Zakhe, futhi akazange anikele ngokwentando Yakhe, ebhalwe ku umthetho. Kunalokho, amadodana ka-Eli anikela njengentando yawo nangokwentando yawo siqu. Ngemisebenzi yabo, amadodana ka-Eli amdelela uJehova nomhlatshelo wakhe, futhi ngenxa yalokho isono sabo saba sikhulu phambi kukaJehova.
Abalamuli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu omdala
Abapristi babengabameleli bakaNkulunkulu nabalamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ababengabenyama futhi bengabesizukulwane sendoda endala (indoda ewile). Njengoba uHofini noFinehasi babebekwe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu futhi bamelela uNkulunkulu kubantu bakaNkulunkulu, izono zabo zathinta umbono wabantu bakaNkulunkulu ngoNkulunkulu.
UHofini noFinehasi abazange babonise inhlonipho kuNkulunkulu futhi abazange bangene Imiyalo Yakhe kanye nezimiso, kepha oHofini noFinehasi baphila ngokwentando yabo, izinkanuko, kanye nezifiso. Ngenxa yokuziphatha kwabo okunesono, abantu bakaNkulunkulu bayidelela iminikelo kaJehova. Izono zikaHofini noFinehasi zabangela ukuba abantu bakaJehova benze iziphambeko.
Abapristi uHofini noFinehasi abagcinanga ngokubi ngokungathobeli intando kaNkulunkulu ngokuqondene nemithetho yemihlatshelo., kepha balala nabesifazane ababebuthana ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana.
Lapho u-Eli ezwa izenzo ezimbi zamadodana akhe, U-Eli wakhuluma namadodana akhe uHofini noFinehasi. Kodwa amadodana ka-Eli ayezidla, nabahlubukayo, futhi bengafuni ukulalela uyise futhi bengafuni ukuzithoba kuye nasentandweni kaNkulunkulu. UHofini noFinehasi babengafuni phenduka emisebenzini yabo emibi kodwa baqhubeka esonweni sabo.
U-Eli kwakufanele abonise eyakhe uthando olukhulu kuNkulunkulu, ngokuthatha umthwalo wokuba umpristi omkhulu nomahluleli wakwa-Israyeli nokujezisa amadodana akhe futhi awakhiphe esikhundleni sobupristi., kepha u-Eli akenzanga lutho, wavumela amadodana akhe ukuba aqhubeke ezonweni zawo.
U-Eli wakhetha amadodana akhe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. Ngesenzo sakhe, U-Eli wabeka amadodana akhe (Indalo) ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu (UMdali) futhi wabonisa ukuthi uthando u-Eli ayenalo ngamadodana akhe lwalungaphezu kothando u-Eli ayenalo ngoNkulunkulu. Ngoba uthando luka-Eli lwalulukhulu emadodaneni akhe kunothando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu, U-Eli wabekezelela ukuziphatha okubi kwamadodana akhe futhi wabekezelela isono, futhi wadelela imiyalo nezimiso zikaNkulunkulu.
U-Eli wabekwa icala ngezono zamadodana akhe
Kodwa akukho okufihlelwe uNkulunkulu wethu uMninimandla onke! UNkulunkulu unamandla onke futhi uNkulunkulu ubona yonke into. Ngakho-ke, UNkulunkulu wathumela isithunywa sakhe ukuba sikhulume no-Eli ngesibopho sakhe kanye nokuziphatha kwakhe okubi.
U-Eli wabanjwa onecala ngezono wamadodana akhe futhi wayenecala kuNkulunkulu. U-Eli watholwa hlanganyela ezonweni lamadodana akhe, ngoba u-Eli akazange awakhuze amadodana akhe oHofini noFinehasi, futhi ungabakhiphi uHofini noFinehasi esikhundleni sobupristi, kepha u-Eli wawayeka amadodana akhe ukuba aqhubeke ezonweni zawo.
U-Eli wayengumpristi omkhulu nomahluleli wakwa-Israyeli futhi kwakufanele abonise uthando Lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu, ngokubeka uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwamadodana akhe nangokulalela imiyalo yaKhe. Kodwa esikhundleni salokho, U-Eli waba Ungalaleli uNkulunkulu futhi akenzanga ngokwentando Yakhe, ngalokho-ke uNkulunkulu wayengasekho nendlu yakhe.
U-Eli akazange asigcine sivutha isibani ethempelini, kodwa isibane sacinywa, kokubili endaweni yomoya kanye nasendaweni yemvelo.
Umuntu kaNkulunkulu, owayethunywe ku-Eli waprofetha ngokuzokwenzeka ku-Eli nendlu yakhe. Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi badelele uJehova, UNkulunkulu wayeyonquma ingalo yakhe nengalo yendlu kayise.
UNkulunkulu wayezovusa omunye umpristi othembekile, owayezokwenza njengokusenhliziyweni nasemqondweni Wakhe futhi wayezamakhela indlu eqinisekileyo, futhi wayeyohamba phambi kogcotshiweyo wakhe kuze kube phakade. Njengesibonakaliso, UHofini noFinehasi babezofa bobabili ngosuku olulodwa.
Wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu afezeka. Ngesikhathi sokulwa namaFilisti, Bobabili uHofini noFinehasi bafa.
Lapho u-Eli ezwa ngalokho okwenzekile nokuthi umphongolo kaJehova uthathwe ngamaFilisti, U-Eli wawa nyovane esihlalweni eduze kwesango, waphuka intamo, futhi wafa.
u-Eli wayenjalo 98 iminyaka lapho efa. u-Eli wayenjalo 40 iminyaka engumpristi omkhulu nomahluleli ka-Israyeli, kodwa uEli wayishiya intando kaNkulunkulu, ngenxa yothando lwakhe kumadodana akhe (1 Samuweli 2, 3, 4).
Umoya ka-Eli ezimpilweni zabaholi bakamoya
mayelana nezingane zabo
Umoya ka-Eli usasebenza ezimpilweni zabaholi bakamoya abaningi maqondana nabantwana babo bemvelo kanye nezingane zabo zikamoya. Izikhathi eziningi, abaholi bakamoya, oqokwe esontweni, bavumele abantwana babo ukuba bahambe esonweni futhi bangabakhuzi futhi babaqondise.
Abanye abaholi baze bathonywe yizingane zabo futhi balandele izeluleko zabo, okubangela izimfundiso eziyinqaba kanye nezwe ukuba kungene ezimpilweni zabo futhi kubangele ukuba bayekethise futhi bashiye intando kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba abafuni ukuba yizindala kodwa bafuna ukuba yisimanjemanje, uhlale usesikhathini, futhi uthandwe, thandiwe, futhi yamukelwe emhlabeni. Kodwa lokhu kuziphatha kuyafakaza, ukuthi abazalwa nguNkulunkulu futhi bazalwa ngokusha, kodwa basengabenyama futhi kabanayo badela ukuphila kwabo futhi ungahambi ngokulandela uMoya embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngokwentando Yakhe.
Inqobo nje uma abaholi bebandla behlala benyama futhi beqhubeka nokulandela inyama, bayohlala benendaba nokuthi izingane zabo zicabangani ngabo futhi banendaba nemibono yabo nalokho abakutholile futhi kusetshenziswe yikho. Bazoholwa imizwa nemizwa yabo futhi bayekethise ngenxa yezingane zabo.
Abaholi abangokomoya bayobekezelela izinto ezingqubuzana nentando kaNkulunkulu ukuze bagcine abantwana babo. Kwesinye isikhathi bayoshintsha futhi basonte amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngale ndlela, ukuthi izinto, abakwenzayo abantwana babo, Lokho kuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu, kungazelelwe kubonakale kulungile, futhi ngokwezwi elishintshiwe, kugunyazwe ukwenza. Bayovuma izono zabo futhi ngenxa yalokho izono zabo ziyobekezelelwa futhi zamukelwe ebandleni.
Izingane njengendlalifa
Baningi abaholi bakamoya, abathanda ukudlulisela inkonzo yabo enzalweni yabo. Abefundisi abaningi bakhetha ukubona inzalo yabo ithatha ipulpiti kunomuntu ongaphandle komndeni wabo. Ngakho-ke abefundisi babekezelela izinto futhi bayeke izono zezingane zabo, abangeke bavume kumuntu ongaphandle komndeni.
Kubi lokhu ngoba abaholi bakamoya bamiswe uNkulunkulu njengabameleli Bakhe futhi kufanele bashumayele, bamele futhi bahambe eqinisweni Lakhe.
Banomthwalo wemfanelo wenhlalakahle engokomoya nokukhula nokuphila kwebandla lonke. Kungumsebenzi wabo ukubheka imiphefumulo yabo, njengoba kufanele balandise ngemiphefumulo yabo kuNkulunkulu (IsiHebheru 13:17).
Kufanele balandele intando kaNkulunkulu esikhundleni sokulandela intando yabo, izifiso, namaphupho. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukuba abaholi bakamoya bazithobe kuNkulunkulu futhi bathandazele labo abazongena esikhundleni sabo kuNkulunkulu, esikhundleni sokuholwa ngokuthanda kwabo, imizwa, nemizwelo.
Uma abefundisi bebeka kuqala izingane zabo, abenyama futhi abahamba ngokwenyama futhi abahambi ngokugcwele ngentando kaNkulunkulu, kodwa nisawuthanda umhlaba nezinto ezikulomhlaba ngakho-ke shumayela ivangeli lesimanje elikhuthazayo elixubene nobuhlakani., ulwazi lwezwe futhi ubekezelele isono ngaphansi kokucasha uthando, inhlonipho, futhi umusa, futhi abamise, khona-ke inhlonipho yabantu bakaNkulunkulu kuNkulunkulu kanye nokwesaba uJehova kuyophela.
Ngoba lithembeke kangakanani iZwi likaNkulunkulu uma (okusha) umfundisi akenzi lokho iZwi elikushoyo, kodwa wenza izinto eziphambene neZwi likaNkulunkulu?
Uma umfundisi engenzi lokho iZwi elikushoyo, kungani amakholwa kumele enze okushiwo yiZwi?
Amakholwa akumele abe nesibonelo esihle futhi akumele aqondiswe njengoba bekungenziwa umfundisi, ubani azalwe kabusha futhi useyindodana kaNkulunkulu futhi ethanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke futhi uhamba elandela uMoya phakathi ukulalela uNkulunkulu neZwi lakhe.
Ngeke babhekane nezono zabo futhi ngeke babizelwe ekuphendukeni nasekususeni isono, kodwa umfundisi uzabavumela ukuthi bahambe ezonweni zabo. Ngoba nomfundisi uhamba esonweni enze izinto, okuyizi amanyala kuNkulunkulu futhi uphambene nentando yaKhe.
Wona lo moya ophila kumfundisi uyofika phezu kwebandla. Lona umoya womphikukristu ngoba umoya umelana noJesu Kristu; Izwi futhi alizithobi Kuye futhi akenzi akushoyo. Umphumela uyoba ukuthi amakholwa athathe ukuziphatha komfundisi wawo futhi enze imisebenzi efanayo eyenziwa umfundisi, okuzokwenza ukuthi ibandla liphambuke kancane kancane eZwini likaNkulunkulu nasentandweni Yakhe, futhi umuntu uba yisizinda ebandleni. Amakholwa ngeke esaphila ngokuvumelana namazwi kaNkulunkulu kodwa ayophila ngokuvumelana namazwi omfundisi wawo.
Kepha uJesu uthi: “Ubani umama Wami? futhi obani abangabafowethu?” Wayeselulela isandla sakhe kubafundi bakhe, wathi, “Bhekani umama waMi nabafowethu! Ngokuba yilowo nalowo owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini, unjalo umfowethu, kanye nodade, kanye nomama.” (Mathewu 12:46-50, Maka 3:31-35, Luka 8:19-21)
‘Bonke labo, abenza intando kaNkulunkulu’ kusho, bonke labo, abezwayo amazwi kaNkulunkulu, bawenze.
Futhi lesi simo sengqondo sikaJesu kufanele sibe yingqondo yabaholi bakamoya. Ngoba indodana noma indodakazi ngokuzalwa ngokwemvelo ayimenzi umuntu umlandeli ofanele, kodwa labo abenza intando kaNkulunkulu, okusho ukuthi bezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi bawenze.
Ibandla lendawo akulona elamuntu kodwa ngelikaJesu Kristu; inhloko yesonto, inqobo nje uma ibandla lihlala lilalela uJesu; iZwi, futhi yenza Imiyalo Yakhe.
Umoya ka-Eli usebenza ezimpilweni zamakholwa kamoya
maqondana nezingane zabo ezingokomoya
Umoya ka-Eli awusebenzi nje kuphela ezimpilweni zabaholi bakamoya maqondana nabantwana babo bemvelo, kodwa nasebandleni maqondana nabantwana babo bomoya. Ngoba umfundisi ungumalusi noyise womoya wamadodana kaNkulunkulu (amadodana namadodakazi kaNkulunkulu).
Umfundisi kufanele akhulise izingane zakhe zomoya futhi azijezise futhi azilungise ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu neZwi. Ukuze, bakhule babe ngumfanekiso kaJesu Kristu, Ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, futhi bahambe njengoba uJesu ahamba. Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, umsebenzi ojwayelekile womfundisi wukubheka imiphefumulo yebandla, njengoba kufanele balandise.
Umalusi unomthwalo wemfanelo wokondla amadodana kaNkulunkulu ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi awakhulise olwazini nasekuhlakanipheni kukaNkulunkulu futhi awalungise.. Ngoba kusukela ekubambeni ekhanda kuphela akekho okhulela ekuvuthweni, kodwa kuphela kubangela imicibisholo ecitshwayo engaqondisiwe emhlabeni, abagcwele ukuzidla. Lokhu kusebenza kwemvelo njengendawo yomoya.
Uma kungekho ukulungiswa futhi konke kuyabekezelelwa futhi kuvunywe, khona-ke kuzoba nesiphithiphithi, ukuyaluza, ukungezwani, ukuhlukana, ukukhonza izithombe nokungcola ngokobulili ebandleni. Ngoba wonke umuntu uzocabanga kanjalo (s)uphethe iqiniso futhi uphila eqinisweni nakho konke lokho (s)wenza muhle futhi uyamukeleka kuNkulunkulu.
Umoya ka-Eli ungumoya wokubekezelela futhi uqinisekisa ukuthi abaholi bomoya bayesatshiswa izingane zabo zomoya futhi abanaso isibindi sokubhekana futhi balungise labo., abangahambi ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu kodwa abanobugovu, abazidlayo nabahlubukayo futhi baqhubeke bephila esonweni.
Abaholi abaningi bakamoya abalandeli uMoya futhi abawabizi amadodana abo omoya ukuphenduka futhi ubayala ukuba basuse isono ezimpilweni zabo. Kunalokho, bangabenyama futhi baholwa yinyama yabo; imizwelo, imizwa, izinzwa, intando, njll., njengo-Eli, futhi bavumele amadodana namadodakazi abo angokomoya ukuba aqhubeke esonweni sabo. Ngokwenza lokho, babeka amadodana namadodakazi abo omoya ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu futhi bahlanganyele ezonweni zabo, okungcolisa ibandla ngokomoya.
Umoya womphikukristu vs uMoya kaKristu
Umoya walelizwe, okungumoya womphikukristu obusa ezimpilweni zalabo, abangabezwe; umbuso wobumnyama, uthi, ukuthi kufanele uhloniphe futhi wamukele konke ukuziphatha komuntu.
Kodwa uMoya kaKristu, Obusa ezimpilweni zalabo abangabakaJesu Kristu noMbuso Wakhe, uyala amakholwa ukuthi angakwamukeli konke ukuziphatha komuntu, kodwa ubizela umuntu ekuphendukeni nokususwa kwalezo zinto, Lokho kuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu, okuyisono.
UMoya oNgcwele awukashintshi. uJesu, Owayelokhu eholwa nguMoya oNgcwele, wabizela abantu bakaNkulunkulu ekuphendukeni. NoMoya oNgcwele usabiza abantu, abaphila esonweni ekuphendukeni, ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
Umoya kaEli uyacima ukukhanya
Umoya ka-Eli awuwona umoya woMbuso kaNkulunkulu kodwa uwumoya wombuso wobumnyama futhi uqinisekisa ukuthi isonto ligoba izimpande zalo embusweni wobumnyama. Ukuze abaholi bakamoya bakhuliswe futhi baholwe yilowo mbuso futhi baphile ngokwalowo mbuso.
Bayolalela imimoya engaphansi kwalombuso
futhi usebenze enyameni. Ukubenza baphambuke entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi bavumele izinto, okuyizinto ezimbi kuNkulunkulu futhi zithi wonke umuntu, owenza okubi muhle emehlweni kaJehova futhi uyathokoza ngabo. Ngokukholwa nangokushumayela la manga, isono sivunyelwe futhi sivunyiwe ebandleni
Ngokuvumela nokuvuma isono, abaholi abaningi bakamoya abasebona abameleli bakaJesu Kristu namadodana kaNkulunkulu, kodwa baba ngabameleli lamadodana kaSathane futhi bamkhothamela.
Udeveli udukise abaholi abaningi bakamoya futhi wakha isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi emasontweni amaningi, ngezimpilo zabo.
Umoya ka Eli uvumela isono ebandleni, okwenza ibandla libe yinyama futhi lingasebenzi ngokomoya futhi lingabi namandla futhi ligcine lizibhubhise futhi kucisha ukukhanya.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
