Kusukela ngesikhathi uzalwa kabusha kuKristu futhi wasuswa emandleni obumnyama wayiswa eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, awuseyona indodana (bobabili abesilisa nabesifazane) kasathane, kodwa usuyindodana (bobabili abesilisa nabesifazane) kaNkulunkulu. Ubutha phakathi kwakho noNkulunkulu bususiwe, ngokuhlotshaniswa kwakho noKristu nokuzalwa kabusha Kuye. Kodwa ngoba ubuyisane loNkulunkulu, usube yisitha sikadeveli nalabo, Ngubani ongowakhe. Ube yisisulu sabo futhi bazokwenza konke okusemandleni abo ukukulinga nokukudukisa futhi bakubuyisele embusweni wabo.. Ngakho-ke, kusukela ngesikhathi uzalwa ngokusha futhi usuyindodana kaNkulunkulu, usungenile empini kamoya futhi kufanele ulwe ukulwa lokholo phakathi nokuphila kwakho emhlabeni. Ekekho neyodwa, ozelwe kabusha kuJesu Kristu ukhululiwe empini yomoya. Ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi ugqoke izikhali ezifanele. Ngoba ngaphandle kwezikhali ezifanele, ngeke ukwazi ukumelana namaqhinga (izikimu) kasathane. Ngaphandle kwezikhali ezifanele, ngeke ukwazi ukumelana ngosuku olubi futhi ume futhi ngeke uphume ngokunqoba kodwa uyonqotshwa. Kuthiwani ngawe? Ngabe uhamba ngezikhali ezifanele?
Impi phakathi kuka-Israyeli namaFilisti
Isidingo sezikhali ezifanele empini sibonakala empilweni kaDavide, owayengowesizukulwane sendalo endala futhi ehlala eSivumelwaneni Esidala.
Lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli belwa namaFilisti, iqhawe eliphuma ekamu lamaFilisti, uGoliyathi, waphuma, wakhala emabuthweni akoIsrayeli 40 izinsuku eziningi wacela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba beze balwe naye. Kodwa akukho noyedwa kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, ngisho noSawule, wasamukela isimemo sakhe.
Ukwesaba kwabo uGoliyathi kwakungaphezu kokukholwa kwabo kuNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, akekho owaba nesibindi sokubhekana noGoliyati futhi alwe naye.
Kwakukhona oyedwa kuphela, owayemesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ekholelwa ebukhulu Bakhe futhi waba nesibindi sokulwa nalomFilisti ongasokile uGoliyathi futhi lowo kwakunguDavide..
UDavid, umalusi
UDavide wayemesaba uNkulunkulu futhi waqeqeshwa endle ukuthembela kuNkulunkulu namandla akhe. UDavide wayebazi ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu futhi wayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayenaye futhi wayezomsindisa kuzo zonke izimo. Nokho, UDavide kwadingeka aphume yedwa ayokulwa nesitha sakhe.
UDavide wayefuya izimvu zikayise futhi wavikela izimvu zakhe ezitheni zazo.
Lapho ingonyama noma ibhere wathatha iwundlu emhlambini, UDavide akazange abaleke nezinye izimvu futhi amvumele ukuba alithathe futhi alibulale iwundlu.
Kepha uDavide wamlandela, wabulala (washaya) wathatha iwundlu emlonyeni wakhe nalapho evukela uDavide, wamshaya, wambulala.
UDavide wayebonise ngezenzo zakhe, okwaphuma ekukholweni kwakhe kuNkulunkulu, ukuze anakekele izimvu zikayise futhi azivikele. Manje, UDavide waqeqeshwa nguNkulunkulu endle nezimvu zikayise, ngaphambi kokuba abekwe njengenkosi yokunakekela nokuvikela izimvu zakwa-Israyeli.
UDavide wayegqoke izikhali ezingafanele
Lapho uSawule ezwa ukuthi uDavide wayezimisele ukulwa noGoliyati, wamletha uDavida kuye. Kodwa lapho uSawule ebona uDavide wabhekana naye ngobuwula bakhe. USawule wayengakholelwa ukuthi uDavide osemusha wayekwazi ukushaya uGoliyati.
Kodwa uDavida kazange aphele amandla, wamtshela uSawuli mayelana lezimvu zikayise egangeni lokuthi wayenqobe wabulala ibhubesi lebhere..
UDavide waprofetha kuSawule ukuthi umFilisti ongasokile uGoliyati wayeyoba njengomunye wabo, ngoba uGoliyathi wayedelele amabutho kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
UDavide wathembela kuNkulunkulu futhi wancika kuYe futhi njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ayekhulule uDavide odladleni lwengonyama nasodladleni lwebhere., wayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezomkhulula noDavide esandleni salo mFilisti.
Lapho uSawule wezwa amazwi kaDavide, USawule wamvumela uDavide ukuba ahambe.
USawule wakhumula izikhali zakhe, wagqokisa uDavide izikhali zakhe, wafaka isigqoko sakhe sethusi ekhanda likaDavide..
USawule wagqokisa uDavide ibhantshi lensimbi. UDavide wabhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezikhali zakhe nalapho uDavide ezama ukuhamba, ngoba wayengalihlolanga, Wathi uDavide kuSawule, ukuthi wayengenakuhamba egqoke izikhali zikaSawule, ngoba uDavida wayengazihlolanga.
Ngakho uDavide wakhumula izikhali zikaSawule, wathatha izikhali zakhe, akufakazela.
Impi phakathi kukaDavide noGoliyati
UDavide waphatha udondolo lwakhe esandleni sakhe, wakhetha amatshe ayisihlanu abushelelezi emfudlaneni, wawafaka esikhwameni sikamalusi.. UDavide waphatha indwayimane esandleni sakhe, wasondela kumaFilisti ngegama likaJehova Sebawoti, waprofetha ngalokho..
Futhi lokho uDavide akuprofetha kuGoliyati phambi kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli namaFilisti kwaba ngokoqobo. Ngoba lapho uDavida egijima eya kuye, wathatha itshe, walijikijela, wamshaya umFilisti ebunzini ngamandla anjalo, ukuthi uGoliyathi wawa ngobuso emhlabeni.
UDavide wathatha inkemba kaGoliyati wabulala uGoliyati, ukuze angabe esaba usongo kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, njengebhubesi nebhere alibulala kwakungaselona usongo ezimvini zikayise. UGoliyathi wanqotshwa futhi u-Israyeli wayeyinqobile impi (1 Sam 17 (Funda futhi: ‘Ungayinqoba kanjani i-goliath yakho‘).
Impi engokomoya nezikhali ezingalungile
Maningi amakholwa, abangagqoki izikhali ezifanele empini yomoya. Lokhu kungaba ngenxa yezizathu eziningi. Bangaba abangenalwazi ngakho-ke baqhubeka behamba begqoke izikhali zobumnyama, kodwa futhi bangahamba bembethe izikhali zomunye futhi bazame ukulwa futhi bame nezikhali zomunye umuntu empini engokomoya..
Bancoma futhi babheke phezulu komunye umuntu futhi balangazelele isikhundla nokholo lwakhe futhi bafuna ukuba futhi babe njengabanye..
Bafuna isikhundla esifanayo nokholo olufanayo futhi bafuna ukuzwa okufanayo (okungaphezu kwemvelo) okuhlangenwe nakho, izimangaliso nezibonakaliso ngakho-ke bafunda impilo yomuntu futhi bamlandele. Lokhu kwenzeka ikakhulukazi kubashumayeli abadumile.
Esikhundleni sokuchitha isikhathi noNkulunkulu ngomthandazo futhi ufunde iZwi, bayabuka, lalela en ziphakele ngamazwi, izindlela, kanye nobuchwepheshe babanye futhi bathathe amazwi abo, izindlela, zobuchwepheshe kanye nemikhuba futhi bayisebenzise ezimpilweni zabo.
Basho futhi benze lokho abakuzwa bekusho futhi babuke bekwenza. Bakhuluma futhi bathandaze amazwi abo futhi benze ngokuvumelana nezindlela zabo kanye nobuchwepheshe.
Futhi ngakho-ke bahamba empilweni futhi balwa ngezikhali zomunye umuntu, kodwa abazi kahle ukuthi benzani, kufanele zihambe kanjani nokuthi zisetshenziswa kanjani izikhali (Funda futhi: ‘Ukulwa nesitha esingabonakali‘).
Ngokushesha bahlaselwa nhlangothi zonke futhi abasakwazi ukuma. Bazama kanzima futhi bakhulume wonke amagama abawezwile futhi basebenzise zonke izindlela nezindlela zobuchwepheshe abazifundisile, nokho kwaba nhlanga zimuka nomoya.
Ababoni umphumela ofana nowomunye umuntu ngakho-ke bayadikibala futhi bangabaze bona noNkulunkulu futhi babe sivivi ngokomoya..
Abanye bayayeka futhi babheke kwezinye izindawo izimfundiso ukuze bafeze umgomo wabo, abanye bashiya ukholo ngenxa yokuphoxeka kwabo kanti abanye balokhu befuna futhi bezibuza ukuthi ngabe bonani. Ngoba kungani kwenzeka komunye umuntu kodwa hhayi kuye? Impendulo ilula kakhulu. Awuyena 'omunye umuntu'!
Amadodana ayisikhombisa kaSkeva
Ekukholweni, azikho izindlela nezindlela zokwenza izinto futhi ayizuzisi amazinga nezinyathelo okufanele uzithathe, but it’s all about your position in Jesus Christ and your relationship with Him and faith in Him (Funda futhi: ‘Ukukholwa kobuchwepheshe‘)
You can’t build your faith upon someone else’s faith and rely on it. You can’t live in someone else’s armor and stand in the spiritual war.
Look at the seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief of the priest. They were itinerant Jews, abakhipha imimoya. When they entered a house, they used the Name of Jesus from their own position as sons of the chief of the priest and said: “We adjure (solemnity command) you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
The sons of Scevas had heard of Jesus through Paul’s sermons. Apparently they saw the effect of the Name of Jesus in Paul’s life and thought, “what he can do, we can do also.’ ngakho-ke basebenzisa iGama likaJesu njengohlobo oluthile lokupela; ifomula yomlingo.
“uJesu, ngiyazi, noPawuli ngiyamazi; kodwa ungubani?”
Kodwa lapho bekhuluma nemimoya emibi futhi bezama ukuthatha igunya phezu kwabo ngokubanika umyalo, umoya omubi wabaphendula wathi, “uJesu, ngiyazi, noPawuli ngiyamazi; kodwa ungubani?”
Umoya omubi wawungawazi lamadodana ayisikhombisa kaSkeva. Nakuba ayengamadodana enduna yabapristi futhi ayemiswe njengabakhipha imimoya, babengenagunya elingokomoya. Badlala nobukhosi basezulwini, ngakho-ke bahamba phezu kweqhwa elincanyana.
Ngenxa yokuthi babengenalo igunya elingokomoya, umuntu, okwakukhona kuye umoya omubi, weqela phezu kwawo, wawanqoba, wawanqoba, baze babaleka kuleyondlu benqunu, belimele (IzEnzo 19:13-16).
Abazange ngokukholwa bazalwe kabusha kuJesu Kristu futhi abahambanga ngeGama Lakhe (Igunya lakhe) namandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Kodwa babeyindalo endala, abezwa ngeGama likaJesu base besebenzisa iGama likaJesu, kodwa balwa besuka kwesabo imvelo ngamandla abo bemelene lomoya omubi. Kodwa lokhu kwakungeke kuphumelele, ngoba bebengagqokile izikhali ezifanele.
Ngenxa yokuthi abazange bahambe ngezikhali ezifanele, abazange bamelene nalomoya omubi futhi babengenakukwazi ukubusa phezu kwalo moya omubi.
Ikhehla alikwazi ukuma lilwe esikhundleni salo
Uma ungazalwa ngokusha futhi ungahambi futhi ulwe futhi ukhulume ngokumelene namandla, othishanhloko, kanye nokubusa okuvela emandleni obumnyama esikhundleni senu kuKristu nigqoke izikhali ezifanele, kodwa hamba ulwe usuka esikhundleni sakho njengekhehla kanye/noma uhambe ulwe ugqoke izikhali zomunye umuntu, khona-ke uyisisulu esilula nesisulu sesitha futhi sizokushwabadela ngokomoya, njengamadodana ayisikhombisa kaSkeva.
Kufanele wena, ngakho-ke, yesabe ukulwa empini engokomoya? Cha, kodwa kufanele uzalwe ngokusha futhi uzazi ukuthi ungubani kuKristu. Kufanele wazi ukuthi yiliphi igunya namandla owatholile kuye futhi kufanele ulwe esikhundleni Sakhe emandleni Akhe hhayi esikhundleni sakho nasemandleni akho.. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, kufanele wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani.
Ngoba ukube uyazi, ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu futhi nimesabe futhi nimazi ngeZwi laKhe, niyazi ukuthi unguye Mdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okuphakathi, Kubandakanya uDeveli, amademoni, kanye nezikhulu zomoya namandla ombuso wobumnyama.
UJesu Kristu ungaphezu kwawo wonke amandla, ubukhulu, nokubusa kombuso wobumnyama. Lapho uzalwa ngokusha futhi ube isidalwa esisha, ungowomzimba wakhe; IBandla lakhe futhi nihlezi kuye futhi konke ukubusa kokomoya namandla ombuso wobumnyama kungaphansi kwezinyawo zenu..
Izikhali zomoya ziyimpilo yakho kuKristu
Ngakho-ke kubalulekile, ukuthi ngokushesha nje lapho uba isidalwa esisha, Uvuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ukuze ukwazi uNkulunkulu nentando Yakhe ngeZwi lakhe futhi uthole, osube yikho kuJesu Kristu nalokho ophiwe kuye.
Kufanele wenze njalo alikhumule ikhehla kanye gqoka umuntu omusha. Uma ufaka umuntu omusha, wembathe uKristu, futhi nigqokisiwe izikhali zomoya ezifanele.
‘Ukugqoka’ kuyisenzo, okufanele ukwenze ngeZwi nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele.
Awukhulekeli izikhali zomoya, futhi anikwazi ukuthola izikhali ezingokomoya ngokubekwa izandla zabanye, ngoba nigqoka izikhali zomoya ngamazwi enu, isebenza, futhi uhambe empilweni.
Isambatho sokuzivikela esingokomoya asihlanganisi izingcezu zokugqoka ezingokomoya nezinye, oyigqoka njalo ekuseni futhi uyikhumule njalo kusihlwa, kodwa impilo yakho; ukukhuluma kwakho futhi uhambe kuKristu.
Awukwazi ukuthembela emazwini nasemibonweni yabanye abantu futhi uhambe okholweni lwabanye abantu. Kufanele ungene Ukukholwa futhi umazi uNkulunkulu uwedwa, ngeZwi lakhe, ukuze wethembe uNkulunkulu, uJesu: iZwi noMoya oNgcwele futhi uphile ngokwentando Yakhe.
“Akukho lutho oluyokulimaza”
Bheka, ngininika amandla (isiphathimandla, ukubusa) ukunyathela izinyoka nawofezela, nangawo wonke amandla esitha: Futhi akukho lutho oluzokulimaza (Uhu 10:19)
Inqobo nje uma uhlala futhi uhamba kuYe, okusho ukuthi uhamba uphelele izikhali zikaNkulunkulu, isitha asikwazi ukukuthinta. Ngoba kuJesu Kristu ninamandla onke; lonke igunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni futhi akukho lutho oluyonilimaza nganoma iyiphi indlela.
Konke okwenzayo, awukwenzi ngengqondo yakho yenyama ngokwethembela- nokusebenzisa ubuhlakani benyama nolwazi nokusebenzisa amagama kanye nezindlela zemvelo nezindlela, oyifundile kwabanye, kodwa konke okwenzayo, wenza esikhundleni sakho kuJesu Kristu nasebudlelwaneni bakho noNkulunkulu, UJesu Kristu, noMoya oNgcwele.
Ngakho-ke, uyokwenza isikhathi sokuthandaza futhi ufunde futhi utadishe iZwi futhi uMoya oNgcwele uzokufundisa futhi akuqondise. Ukuze uthole isikhundla sakho kuKristu; ukuthi ungubani kuye nokuthi yiliphi ifa olamukele kuye futhi uhambe kulo.
Uma u vuselela ingqondo yakho ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu, niyakwazi intando kaYihlo, ukuze intando kaSathane namanga akhe, owabusa emqondweni wenu wenyama, izokwehliswa futhi esikhundleni sayo kube yintando kaNkulunkulu neqiniso Lakhe. Uyoba nomqondo kaKristu futhi wenze intando kaBaba futhi uphile njengendodana kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni (Funda futhi: ‘Izinqaba ezisengqondweni yabantu’).
Impi kamoya ngezikhali ezifanele
Niyohamba ekukhanyeni nalapho usathane ezama ukukulinga nokunidukisa ngamanga akhe nangemisebenzi yakhe, niyobona amanga nemisebenzi yakhe futhi niyokwazi ukumelana nezilingo zakhe.
Angase adubule yonke inhlobo yemicibisholo evuthayo, kodwa abakwazi ukukuthinta, ngoba nihamba ngokukholwa kuMoya eqinisweni lezwi likaNkulunkulu, hhayi ngokwenyama, ngalokho enikuzwayo nenikubonayo nangamanga omuntu, abangabezwe.
Uyohamba ungcwele futhi ulungile futhi ube ngufakazi kaJesu Kristu futhi umele futhi ulethe uMbuso Wakhe emhlabeni.
Ungabe usahamba ngesambatho somunye umuntu, futhi uhlale ukhubeka futhi uwela ezilingweni futhi uphile impilo enqotshiwe, kodwa uzakuhamba ngezikhali zakho, evumelana nawe ngokuphelele futhi onganyakaza kuyo ngokuphelele.
Kusukela esikhundleni sakho kuKristu nasebudlelwaneni bakho noNkulunkulu nangokukholwa kuJesu Kristu naseGameni Lakhe (isiphathimandla) namandla kaMoya oNgcwele, ohlala kini, uzohamba ngempi kamoya.
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi senihlomile izikhali niyokwazi ukumelana namaqhinga kasathane futhi nimelane ngosuku olubi futhi nikwazi ukuma nifeze umsebenzi wenu njengendodana kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
