Amazwi esitha abhuqayo awazange avimbele uNehemiya ukuthi akhe kabusha udonga lwaseJerusalema
Kodwa lapho uSanibalathi, uThobiya, kanye noGeshem (umArabiya) wezwa, bahleke babadelele, ngokubabuza ukuthi benzani nokuthi bazoyivukela yini inkosi. UNehemiya wabaphendula ngokuthi:
Nkulunkulu wezulu, Uzosiphumelelisa, ngalokho thina zinceku zakhe siyakusukuma sakhe: kodwa aninasabelo, noma kulungile, noma isikhumbuzo, EJerusalema

UNehemiya wayemazi uNkulunkulu wakhe futhi emesaba uJehova. Ngoba uNehemiya wayebazi ubukhulu Bakhe, amandla, nemisebenzi emangalisayo.
Ngakho lawa mazwi ahlekisayo, eyayiqukethe usongo futhi okwakuhloswe ngayo ukwesabisa uNehemiya kanye nabantu, akazange amvimbe uNehemiya.
Ukukholwa Kwakhe kuNkulunkulu nokuqiniseka emazwini Akhe nokuzimisela Kwakhe kwakukhulu kunamazwi alaba bantu, owamelana laye wazama ukumvimba ukuthi angawuvusi umuzi weJerusalema.

UNehemiya nabantu bazilungiselela ukwakha kabusha izindonga namasango aseJerusalema. Wonke umuntu wayemiselwe ingxenye ethile yezindonga namasango.
Ngokwesibonelo, umpristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi wasukuma nabafowabo abapristi, lakha isango lezimvu. Balingcwelisa kwaze kwaba seMbhoshongweni waseMeha naseMbhoshongweni kaHananeli, bamisa izivalo zawo..
Ngakho, yilowo nalowo wakha ingxenye yakhe yodonga (UNehemiya 3).
Umzamo wokuqala wesitha wokumisa ukwakhiwa kodonga
Lapho uSanibhalati ezwa ukuthi balwakha ugange, wathukuthela, wathukuthela kakhulu. USanibhalati wahlekisa ngamaJuda ngokutshela abafowabo nebutho laseSamariya, Enzani lamaJuda abuthakathaka? Ingabe bayoziqinisa? Ingabe bayodela? Futhi bayoqeda ngosuku? Ingabe bayowavusa amatshe ezinqwabeni zemfucumfucu eshile??
uThobiya, umAmoni, wayenoSanibhalati futhi wathi, Nalokho abakwakhayo, uma impungushe ikhuphuka, uyakudiliza ugange lwabo lwamatshe.
Kodwa futhi, UNehemiya akazange esatshiswe amazwi abo futhi akazange ame ukuze afeze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu.
UNehemiya akazange asabele. Kunalokho, wathandaza kuNkulunkulu ukuba ihlazo labo liphendukele phezu kwamakhanda abo futhi abanikele babe yimpango ezweni lokuthunjwa.. Ngemva komthandazo wakhe, waqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe (UNehemiya 4:1-6)

Kepha uNehemiya nabanye bakhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo, babeka abalindi esitheni sabo imini nobusuku, ngenxa yabo.
UNkulunkulu wayelethe iseluleko esibi sesitha ukuba singene singanakwa, bulala abantu, futhi awuyeke umsebenzi, ukwenza ize
Wathi uJuda, Amandla abathwali bemithwalo ayabola, futhi kunemfucumfucu eminingi; ukuze singakwazi ukwakha udonga. Nezitha zethu zathi, Ngeke bazi, futhi ubone, size singene phakathi kwabo, futhi ababulale, futhi umise umsebenzi Futhi kwenzeka, ukuthi lapho amaJuda ayehlala kubo efika, bathi kithi kayishumi, Kuzo zonke izindawo lapho niyobuyela khona kithi ziyoba phezu kwenu. Ngase ngimisa ezindaweni eziphansi emva kodonga, nasezindaweni eziphakeme, Ngaze ngamisa abantu ngemindeni yabo bephethe izinkemba zabo, imikhonto yabo, neminsalo yabo. Futhi ngabheka, wasukuma, wathi kwabanumzane, nakubaphathi, nakubo bonke abanye abantu, Ningabesabi: khumbulani uJehova, okuyinto enkulu futhi esabekayo, futhi nilwele abafowenu, amadodana akho, namadodakazi enu, abafazi benu, nezindlu zenu (UNehemiya 4:10-14)
UNkulunkulu walivimba icebo elibi lesitha sabo, ababefuna ukungena benganakile futhi phakathi kwabo bababulale futhi babangele ukuba umsebenzi umiswe.
Lapho isitha sizwa ukuthi sebazi ngesu labo elibi nokuthi uNkulunkulu wayesenze ize iseluleko sabo, babuyela odongeni baqhubeka nomsebenzi wabo ngokulungisa okuncane.
Ingxenye yezinceku yenza umsebenzi. enye ingxenye yayiphethe yomibili imikhonto, izihlangu, iminsalo, kanye nama-habergeons. Ababusi babelandela yonke indlu yakwaJuda.
Abakha odongeni nabathwala imithwalo nabathwesayo, yilowo nalowo ngesandla sakhe wasebenza emsebenzini, ngesinye isandla ephethe isikhali. Kwabakhi, yilowo nalowo wayebhince inkemba yakhe okhalweni lwakhe, futhi kwakhiwe kanjalo.
Njengoba umsebenzi wawumkhulu futhi umkhulu futhi ayehlukaniselwe odongeni, kude nomunye, kwabekwa umuntu ozoshaya icilongo lokuqoqa abantu uma kudingeka. Iyona yodwa, owabetha icilongo wayenoNehemiya (UNehemiya 4:18-20)
UNehemiya watshela abantu ukuthi balale eJerusalema, ukuze ebusuku bagade abantu futhi basebenze emini, futhi babezakusindiswa.
Umzamo wesithathu wesitha wokuvimba abantu ekwakheni udonga namasango aseJerusalema
Ubungacabanga ukuthi uSanibhalati, uThobiya, Gesem, futhi ezinye izitha zaziyoshiya abantu bakaNkulunkulu bodwa, ngemva kwemizamo yabo yokusabisa, dikibala, futhi bamise abantu bakaNkulunkulu. Kodwa abazange. Baqhubeka befuna indlela yokuvimba abantu ukuthi bangakhi ugange namasango aseJerusalema.
Njengoba babethatha uNehemiya njengomshoshozeli, bazama ukulinga uNehemiya isono.
Bathumela izincwadi futhi bamema uNehemiya ukuba abahlangabeze emizaneni yasethafeni lase-Ono. Kodwa uNehemiah wayengesona isiphukuphuku kodwa wayehlakaniphile futhi walibona kusengaphambili icebo labo elibi lokumenza okubi.
UNehemiya wathumela izithunywa kubo ukuze babazise ukuthi wayengeke eze ngoba wayenza umsebenzi omkhulu. Akazange alinge futhi akazange aphazanyiswe yizindaba eziseceleni. Kodwa uNehemiya wahlala egxile emsebenzini omkhulu okwakumelwe wenziwe.
Abazange bameme uNehemiya nakanye, kodwa kane. Kodwa uNehemiya waphendula izimemo zabo ngamazwi afanayo ahlakaniphile.
Lapho imizamo yabo ingasebenzi, USanibhalati wathumela okwesihlanu inceku yakhe nencwadi evuliwe enamanga ukuze ethuse uNehemiya, ukuze eze kubo. Kodwa u-Nehemiah akazange esabe futhi amethuswe amazwi akhe, okwakungamanga. Kunalokho, UNehemiya wabhala incwadi, ethi amazwi akhe awalona iqiniso, kodwa ukuthi amazwi akhe ayenziwe asuka enhliziyweni yakhe.
Bonke bazama ukubesabisa ngokuthi izandla zabo zizoba buthakathaka emsebenzini, ukuthi kungenziwa. Kodwa uNehemiya wathi, (kuNkulunkulu) ukuqinisa izandla zakhe.
Umzamo wesine wesitha wokumisa ukwakhiwa kodonga namasango aseJerusalema
Lapho uNehemiya efika endlini kaShemaya, owayevaliwe, watshela uNehemiya ukuba bahlangane ndawonye endlini kaNkulunkulu phakathi kwethempeli, ngoba babezoza ukuzobulala uNehemiya.
Kodwa uNehemiya akazange awakholwe amazwi akhe futhi wenqaba ukwenza ngokwamazwi akhe.
Amazwi kaShemaya awazange amethuse uNehemiya futhi awazange amenze enze ngokwesaba, ukuze one, kube negama elibi kubo, ukuze bamthuke.
UNehemiya wabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengamthumanga uShemaya, kodwa ukuthi wamemezela lesi siprofetho ngoNehemiya ngoba uThobiya noSanibhalati babeqashe uShemaya ukuba enze uNehemiya esabe..
UShemaya kwakungeyena yedwa Umprofethi wamanga, owazama ukumethusa nokumvimba.
Umprofethikazi uNowadiya nabanye abaprofethi nabo bazama ukwesabisa uNehemiya, kodwa abazange baphumelele.
NoThobiya akazange aphumelele ukwenza uNehemiya esabe ngezincwadi azibhalela izikhulu zakwaJuda, owayefungile kuye, wathumela izincwadi eziningi kuThobiya (UNehemiya 6:17-19)
UNehemiya akazange esabe, ngoba wayemethemba uNkulunkulu wakhe
UNehemiya wahlala ethembekile kuNkulunkulu nasemsebenzini uNkulunkulu ayewunike uNehemiya. Akazange esabe futhi akazange esatshiswe futhi ethonywe amanga esitha. UNehemiya naye akazange aziphindiselele. Kodwa uNehemiya wanikela konke kuNkulunkulu, i UMahluleli olungileyo, owayebone konke okubi kwesitha ngesikhathi kwakhiwa kabusha iJerusalema.
Ngakho uNehemiya nabantu baqhubeka nokwakha kabusha udonga. Ngemva 52 izinsuku uNehemiya nabantu baqeda umsebenzi.
Izitha, owanqoba ngaphambilini, futhi baklolodela abantu futhi bazama ukwesabisa uNehemiya kanye nabantu nokubasabisa nokubabulala, baphonswa phansi emehlweni abo. Ngokuba babona ukuthi lo msebenzi wenziwa nguNkulunkulu wabo.
Indlu kaNkulunkulu kanye nenkonzo yeNkosi kwavuselelwa
Ngemva kokwakhiwa kabusha kodonga namasango eJerusalema, zonke izinto zenziwa ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu. I Umthetho kaMose waphinda wavela. Bafuna imithetho kaMose, wabuyisela imithetho kaNkulunkulu, futhi wenza konke ngokulalela amazwi nemiyalelo kaNkulunkulu.
Konke kwabuyiselwa, hhayi iJerusalema kuphela kodwa nobudlelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu Bakhe neNdlu Yakhe.
Abantu bebandla base bephendukile enkani nasezonweni zabo.
Ibandla lathembisa ukukhonza uNkulunkulu kanye nokugcina imiyalelo nemithetho Yakhe futhi lavuselela isifungo salo esivumelwaneni noNkulunkulu..
Abantu baphenduka babuyela kuNkulunkulu, futhi ngenxa yalokho, UNkulunkulu wabuyela kubantu bakhe. Wababuka, wabavikela, futhi wabanakekela.
Indlu kaNkulunkulu ayizange isashiywa kodwa yabuyiselwa.
AmaLevi aqoqwa futhi anikezelwa ezikhundleni zawo njengoba kwakulotshwe eMthethweni KaMose. Amagama, imithetho, futhi iziqondiso zoMthetho zabuyiselwa.
Ngokushesha nje lapho befunda okuthile eMthethweni okwakuphambene nendlela yabo yokuphila, bashintsha indlela yabo yokuphila yaba yiZwi likaNkulunkulu. Esikhundleni sokuguqula iZwi likaNkulunkulu endleleni yabo yokuphila.
Ama-Israyeli ashintsha ukuphila kwawo asebenzisa uMthetho
Ngokwesibonelo, bafunda ukuthi abantwana bakwa-Amoni nabakwaMowabi babenqatshelwe ukungena ebandleni likaNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade. Ngobani? Ngoba babengahlangananga nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngesinkwa namanzi kodwa babaqasha Bhalamu ngokumelene nabo ukubaqalekise.
Bathi bewuzwa lomthetho, bahlukanisa no-Israyeli yonke ingxubevange. Lokhu kwabonisa inhlonipho ngoNkulunkulu wabo uSomandla.
Kodwa nakuba abantu benza kanjalo, akubona bonke abaholi abenza kanjalo. Ngokwesibonelo, cabanga ngompristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi, owayengamele amakamelo endlu kaNkulunkulu
Lapho uNehemiya ekhona kwaJuda, konke kwahamba ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu. Isitha asiphumelelanga ukungena nokumisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa ngesikhathi uNehemiya engekho, isitha sangena ngompristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi.
Isitha singangena kanjani eJerusalema nasendlini kaNkulunkulu futhi singcolise indlu kaNkulunkulu?
UNehemiya wayemelene nezitha zikaNkulunkulu futhi wavimbela ububi obubhubhisayo ukuba bungene eJerusalema. Nokho, umpristi omkhulu u-Eyashibi wayengenaso isimo sengqondo esifana nesikaNehemiya. Esikhundleni sokuvimbela isitha nobubi obubhubhisayo ukuba bungene, umpristi omkhulu wavula umnyango ukuze ububi obubhubhisayo bungene.
Akukhona nje ukuthi umpristi omkhulu wavula amasango eJerusalema ngenxa yesitha nobubi obubhubhisayo, kodwa futhi wavula iminyango yendlu kaNkulunkulu (iThempeli) ngoba isitha lomubi.
Umpristi omkhulu u-Eyashibi wenza kwaba kubi nakakhulu, ngokunika isitha indawo yokuhlala endlini kaNkulunkulu. Lesi sitha, owamnika ikamelo endlini kaNkulunkulu, kwakunguThobiya umAmoni.
KwakunguThobiya ofanayo, owayengomunye wezitha zikaNkulunkulu namaJuda futhi wazama ukuvimbela nokumisa ukwakhiwa kabusha kodonga namasango aseJerusalema.
KwakunguThobiya ofanayo, owazama ukwesabisa nokwethusa uNehemiya futhi wazama ukumlinga ukuba one. Wazama ngisho nokubulala uNehemiya namaJuda.
Kodwa ngaphansi kobuholi bukaNehemiya, UThobiya akazange abe nethuba lokungena futhi enze amacebo akhe amabi, hhayi nangezihlobo zakhe nobudlelwano bakhe (UNehemiya 6:17-19).
Waze wahamba uNehemiya, ingabe isitha uThobiya salibona ithuba lokungena nje kuphela emzini waseJerusalema kodwa lokungena endlini kaNkulunkulu futhi sihlale khona?, okwangena ngakho ububi, bangcolisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
Isitha esinguThobiya saphumelela kanjani ukungena endlini kaNkulunkulu? Ngomndeni wakhe.
Isitha sasingangena endlini kaNkulunkulu ngezibopho zomndeni
UThobiya wayengumndeni wompristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi. Ngaphandle kwalokho, futhi wayeyinceku nomhlanganyeli ebugebengwini bukaSanibhalati, umkhwenyana wompristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi.
Lomphristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi wayengenaso isimo sengqondo nokwesaba iNkosi njengoNehemiya. Akazange enze ngokuvumelana namazwi nemiyalo kaNkulunkulu, njengoba kufanele futhi wathembisa ukwenza njengompristi omkhulu. Umpristi ophakeme u-Eliyashibi wayesaba kakhulu ngesihlobo sakhe uThobiya, umAmoni.
Ngoba ukwesaba kwakhe umkhaya wakhe kwakungaphezu kokwesaba kwakhe uNkulunkulu, wabeka umndeni wakhe ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu.
Ngokuvumela umndeni wakhe, owayeyisitha sikaNkulunkulu futhi ephila ebutha noNkulunkulu, endlini kaNkulunkulu, washiya uNkulunkulu noMthetho kaMose, okufanele ayimele, thobela, futhi akhiphe.
Umpristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi wayeyazi intando kaNkulunkulu ngama-Amoni namakamelo endlu kaNkulunkulu..
Kodwa u-Eliyashibi wala amazwi kaNkulunkulu, ngalokho walahla uNkulunkulu, wenza ngokubona kwakhe, akakubonanga njengento embi ukuthulula ikamelo elikhulu elingcwelisiwe nelinikelwe kuNkulunkulu., futhi uyilungise futhi uyinike isitha sikaNkulunkulu: uThobiya umAmoni.
Ngakho umpristi omkhulu wathulula ikamelo elikhulu, lapho ngaphambili babebeka khona iminikelo yokudla, inhlaka, nezitsha nokweshumi kwamabele, iwayini elisha, namafutha, ezazinikelwe ngemiyalo yamaLevi nabahlabeleli nabalindisango, neminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yabapristi, wayinika uThobiya.
UNehemiya waxosha isitha nobubi obubhubhisayo endlini kaNkulunkulu futhi wahlanza indlu kaNkulunkulu
Kodwa lapho uNehemiya ecela imvume enkosini futhi wabuyela eJerusalema futhi waqonda ububi u-Eliyashibi ayebenzele uThobiya, ekumlungiseleni ikamelo emagcekeni endlu kaNkulunkulu, kwaba buhlungu kuye. UNehemiya wazikhiphela ngaphandle kwekamelo zonke izinto zendlu kaThobiya.
Khona-ke uNehemiya wayala ukuba kuhlanzwe amakamelo futhi wabuyisa izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu, kanye neminikelo yempuphu nenhlaka.
Kodwa kwakungesona isono leso kuphela. Ngesikhathi uNehemiya engekho, izono eziningi zase zingenile ezimpilweni zabantu bakwa-Israyeli kanye nendlu kaNkulunkulu.
Babeyishiyileni indlu kaNkulunkulu?
UNehemiya wabona ukuthi amaLevi ayenganikezwanga izabelo. Ngenxa yalokho, babuyela, kwaba yilowo nalowo ensimini yakhe.
UNehemiya akazange athule futhi abuke ukuthi indlu kaNkulunkulu yalahlwa kanjani. Kodwa uNehemiya wathatha isinyathelo ngokushesha. Waphikisana nababusi wababuza ukuthi kungani indlu kaNkulunkulu ishiywe.
Ngenkathi uNehemiya eseyilungisile indlu kaNkulunkulu, izinceku, kanye nenkonzo futhi wamisa abapristi abathembekile, okungenani yilokho ayekucabanga, wabanika ukunakekela kwamakamelo endlu kaNkulunkulu, babeyingcolisile bayishiyile indlu kaNkulunkulu. (Funda futhi: Ingabe ibandla seliphenduke umhume wamasela?).
Balingcolisa iSabatha
UNehemiya naye wakubona lokho naphezu komyalo kaNkulunkulu, abantu babesebenza, behweba ngesabatha, ngalokho balungcolisa usuku lwesabatha. Wabakhumbuza oyise, ababenzile ububi obufanayo futhi ngenxa yalokho baletha ububi phezu kwabo.
Ngokushesha uNehemiya wayala ukuba kuvalwe iminyango, lapho amasango eJerusalema eqala ukuhwalala, futhi yayingavulwa kwaze kwadlula isabatha. Wabeka ezinye zezinceku phezu kwamasango, ukuze kungangeniswa mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha.
Wabuye waxwayisa abathengisi nabathengisi bazo zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezithengiswayo, owalala ngasemdulini ngaphandle kweJerusalema, uma bephinda bekwenza ubebeka izandla phezu kwabo. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, abafikanga ngosuku lwesabatha.
UNehemiya wayala amaLevi ukuba azihlanze futhi agcine amasango ukuze angcwelise usuku lwesabatha.
Imishado exubile yamaJuda nabeZizwe
UNehemiya wabona imishado exubile phakathi kwamaJuda nabesifazane base-Ashidodi, u-Amoni, kanye noMowabi. Izingane zabo zazikhuluma ingxenye yesi-Ashidodi futhi zazingakwazi ukukhuluma ngolimi lwesiJuda,
UNehemiya waphikisana nabo ngobubi nokuphambuka kuNkulunkulu ngokushada nabesifazane bezizwe.
Wabathuka, watshaya abanye babo, bahlubule izinwele zabo, futhi wabafungisa uNkulunkulu, ukuze banganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi abo, bangathatheli amadodana abo noma bona ngokwabo amadodakazi abo.
Wakhuluma ngoSolomoni inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, owayethandwa nguNkulunkulu futhi ebekwe inkosi. Nokho, uthando lwakhe ngabesifazane bezizwe lwamenza one. (Funda futhi: Indlela yokubhubhisa).
Enye yamadodana kaJoyada, indodana yompristi omkhulu u-Eliyashibi wayengumkhwenyana kaSanibhalati umHoroni (nesitha sikaNkulunkulu nabantu baKhe). Wathatha umfazi wezizwe, ngokumelene nomyalo kaNkulunkulu.
Nokho, UNehemiya akazange hloniphani abantu.
UNehemiya akazange enze okuhlukile, ngoba wayeyindodana yomphristi lomzukulu womphristi omkhulu. Kodwa uNehemiya wenza ngokwezwi likaNkulunkulu futhi wamxosha kuye.
UNehemiya wahlala ethembekile kuNkulunkulu futhi wacela uJehova ukuba amkhumbule ngokuhle
UNehemiya wacela uJehova ukuba abakhumbule, ngoba babengcolisile ubupristi, nesivumelwano sobupristi nesamaLevi.
Wayebahlambulule kubo bonke abezizwe futhi wabeka izimfanelo kubapristi namaLevi, kwaba yilowo nalowo emsebenzini wakhe nasemnikelweni wezinkuni, ngezikhathi ezimisiwe, kanye lezithelo zokuqala. UNehemiya wacela uJehova ukuba amkhumbule ngokuhle (Nehemiya isahluko 1-13)
Umbuso nokuhleleka ebandleni kuncike kumholi onamandla, owesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ohamba ezindleleni zakhe
UNehemiya wayengumholi onamandla, omandla akhe ayevela kuNkulunkulu. Wayemethemba uNkulunkulu futhi ezimisele, ezithobekile, ukukhonza, futhi elalela uNkulunkulu. Wayenozwelo, qhutshwa, gxilile, futhi uthembekile kuNkulunkulu kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe.
Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, UNehemiya wayemesaba uNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke, i Mdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi, lapho ahamba ngakho elalela amazwi nemiyalelo kaNkulunkulu futhi akonanga.
UNehemiya wabuyisela isiphithiphithi eJerusalema, ngokwakha kabusha ugange namasango eJerusalema.
Wahlanza abantu, walungisa indlu kaNkulunkulu, futhi wabuyisela imithetho neziyalezo zikaNkulunkulu.
Akazange avumele isitha ukuthi singene futhi akazange avumele ububi. Kodwa uNehemiya wabhekana nokubi ebandleni nasezitheni (nobubi) ezama ukungena.
Futhi lapho ebona ukuthi umpristi omkhulu wayevumele isitha ukuba singene endlini kaNkulunkulu, masinyane wasixosha isitha endlini kaNkulunkulu.
U-Nehemiah akazange esatshiswe ngamazwi nezincwadi zabantu, naphezu kwabo (umndeni) ubuhlobo noma isikhundla emphakathini. Akazange athonywe, elingwe, futhi ethuswa abafowabo nodadewabo, I-WHO waprofetha amanga phezu kwempilo yakhe, noma ngabanumzane (abantu abasezingeni eliphezulu).
UNehemiya akazange aphazanyiswe enjongweni yakhe ngokuhileleka emangeni nasezindabeni eziseceleni.
UNehemiya wayegxile kuNkulunkulu futhi wenza umsebenzi uNkulunkulu ayemnike wona futhi wawuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe.
Abaholi abafana noNehemiya abasekho
Abaholi abanesimo sengqondo nengqondo efana nekaNehemiah abasekho. UNehemiya wayengeyena ukujabulisa abantu kodwa othokozisa uNkulunkulu.
Ukwesaba kwakhe uNkulunkulu kwakungaphezu kokwesaba kwakhe abantu. Ngenxa yalokho, isitha kanye nobubi obuhlobene, owazama ukungena akakwazanga ukungena phambi kukaNehemiya.
Kwaze kwaba yilapho uNehemiya ephuma eJerusalema, isitha nobubi bakwazi ukungena futhi bahlale endlini kaNkulunkulu
Yiliphi isango lapho isitha sisangena ngaso endlini kaNkulunkulu?
Futhi njengoba nje isitha nobubi babekwazi ukungena endlini kaNkulunkulu ngaleso sikhathi, isitha nobubi basakwazi ukungena endlini kaNkulunkulu (ibandla) manje. Kanjani? Ngamalungu omndeni (izihlobo zegazi).
Ngokugxambukela, ithonya, nezono zamalungu omndeni, ikakhulukazi izingane, abaholi abaningi bebandla baye bahlehla futhi sebebekezelela isono nobubi.
Okwakungavunyelwa esontweni, manje seyamukelwa ebandleni futhi ibhekwa njengento evamile.
Uma umuntu ekude futhi wenza isono, kulula ukumela umbono weZwi likaNkulunkulu (Ibhayibheli) futhi ulandele amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi ugcine imiyalelo Yakhe, emelela intando yakhe, futhi ubhekane nomuntu ngesono sakhe.
Kodwa wenzani uma eyakho ingane yenza isono esifanayo?
Uma indodana noma indodakazi yakho yenza isono esifanayo, usaqine kangaka?
Ingabe usabambelele emazwini kaNkulunkulu? Ingabe uhlala uthembekile kuJesu futhi uqhubeke uhamba emva kukaMoya omele ukulunga futhi uzihlukanise nesono?
Noma ingabe ngokuzumayo ukhanyisa isono ngenye indlela? Kusukela esimweni sendodana noma indodakazi yakho? Futhi ingabe uholwa yinyama; imizwa nemizwelo yakho, futhi uvule umnyango ukuze isitha nobubi bungene futhi wenze uthobe nobumnyama futhi ukhothamele esonweni, ngoba awufuni ukulahlekelwa ingane yakho?
Xoxisana nesono futhi ukhothamele usathane esonweni, ukuvimbela ukulahlekelwa yindodana noma indodakazi yakho (kumbe ubaba, umama, usisi, umfowethu, njll.)
Bangaki abashumayeli, kwenye indawo, namadikoni ayevame ukuphikisa ukuhlala ndawonye bengashadile futhi babecacile ngombono wabo owawuvumelana neZwi, kwaze kwaba yilapho indodana noma indodakazi yabo ibatshela ukuthi bafuna ukuhlala ndawonye bengashadile, futhi bayekethisa futhi bakhothama kudeveli esonweni futhi bavumela isono ebandleni.
Bangaki abashumayeli, kwenye indawo, namadiyakoni ayemelene nokuphinga futhi isehlukaniso futhi benza umbono wabo owawumele iZwi, eyaziwa ebandleni, kwaze kwaba yilapho indodana noma indodakazi yabo ibatshela ukuthi banqume ukudivosa futhi bashintsha umbono wabo futhi bavuma isehlukaniso esontweni futhi benza isehlukaniso sibe yinto evamile..
Futhi bangaki abashumayeli, kwenye indawo, namadikoni ahlehla futhi asefana nomhlaba, ngoba babethonywe imibono nezindlela zokuphila zezingane zabo?
Udeveli angangena ezimpilweni nasemasontweni futhi athole indawo, lapho uthando lukaNkulunkulu nokwesaba uNkulunkulu kuntuleka khona ezinhliziyweni zabaholi namakholwa futhi uJesu akayena uMuntu obaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni, kodwa ilunga lomndeni. (Funda futhi: Umoya ka-Eli).
Othanda uyise noma unina, indodana noma indodakazi ngaphezu kukaJesu ayimfanele
Othanda uyise noma unina kunami kangifanele;: nothanda indodana noma indodakazi kunami akangifanele. Nongasithathi isiphambano sakhe, futhi futhi ulandele emva kwami, ayingifanele (Mathewu 10:37-38)
Ngakho-ke, UJesu wathi, ukuthi uma uthanda uyihlo, umama, indodana, noma indodakazi ngaphezu kwaKhe (iZwi), awumfanele.
Ukuthanda uJesu kusho ukuthi, ukuthi nikholwe amazwi Akhe, yenza lokho Akushoyo, futhi nigcina imiyalo yaKhe, futhi niMlandele, naphezu kombono nesinqumo sikayihlo, umama, indodana, noma indodakazi, ukwenqaba amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi uphile ngokungalaleli uNkulunkulu ebumnyameni, ukwenza imisebenzi yenyama ephikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu.
Ukuthanda uJesu kunenani.
Uma umthanda ngempela uJesu, khona-ke akubizi ukuphila kwakho kuphela (enikubeke kuKristu), kodwa futhi kungakubiza umndeni wakho nabangane. Ngaphandle kwa-, ukhothama entandweni kadeveli futhi uvumelane nesono futhi uvumele ubumnyama bungene.
Lapho uvumelana futhi uvumela isono, ngokuvumela indlela yokuphila yesono, ngeke ulahlekelwe yibo kodwa uJesu.
Ngokuyekethisa ukhothamela usathane, osebenza kubantwana bokungalaleli, futhi wamukele imisebenzi yakhe emibi (isono) futhi uhlanganyele emisebenzini yakhe emibi.
Indlu kaNkulunkulu ishiyelwe isiphetho sakhe futhi amasango ebandla alahliwe
Abaphostoli, abavangeli, abaprofethi, abefundisi, othisha, kanye nabadala, ababenikezwe umsebenzi wokuqapha amasango eBandla futhi bakhulise amakholwa entandweni kaNkulunkulu ekuvuthweni ngokomoya., baye balahla umthwalo wabo futhi bavumela udeveli (isitha) kanye nesono (-bi) ebandleni ngethonya kanye/noma izono zamadodana abo, amadodakazi, abazali, noma amanye amalungu omndeni.
Amasango ebandla ayegadiwe nalapho iqiniso nokwahlulela (ubulungiswa) okwakhulunywa ngokweZwi likaNkulunkulu zilahliwe.
UMoya oNgcwele neZwi, elimele intando kaNkulunkulu, kuthathelwe indawo umuntu nokuhlakanipha, intando, izinkanuko, lezifiso zenyama. Konke kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu usethathelwe indawo abantu, futhi esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu, abantu bahlezi ezinhliziyweni zamaKristu amaningi.
Izitha nezitha zikaNkulunkulu zisasebenzisa isango elifanayo ukungena nokumisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu
Isitha kanye nezitha zikaNkulunkulu babehlakaniphe kakhulu ngesikhathi sikaNehemiya, kodwa isitha (usathane) futhi izitha zikaNkulunkulu zisehlakaniphile. Abayeki kalula kanjalo, njengoba kwenza amaKristu amaningi. Kodwa bayaphikelela balokhu bezama baze bathole indawo yokungena ebandleni bangcolise ibandla
Izitha nezitha zikaNkulunkulu basebenzisa isango elifanayo lokungena endlini kaNkulunkulu futhi basebenzise izindlela ezifanayo ukuze besabise futhi besabise amaKristu futhi babangele ukuba bone., nokubathulisa nokubavimba, ukuze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu umiswe.
UNehemiya wazalwa ngaphansi koMthetho futhi engowesizukulwane somuntu onesono (Indalo endala), ababehlala eSivumelwaneni Esidala. Kodwa amaKristu amaningi, asebeyindalo entsha kuKristu futhi baphile ngaphansi umusa Esivumelwaneni Esisha singathatha isibonelo sokwethembeka kukaNehemiya, ukuziphatha, kanye nengqondo, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke uthando lwakhe lokwesaba uNkulunkulu wakhe.
