KunamaKristu amaningi, abakhathele iNkosi. Uyikhathele kanjani iNkosi? IBhayibheli lithi, niyidinile iNkosi ngamazwi enu, Nokho nithi, simkhandle ngakho? Uma usho, Bonke abenza okubi bahle emehlweni kaJehova, futhi Uyathokoza ngabo; noma Uphi uNkulunkulu wokwahlulela (UMalaki 2:17).
Okubi kuthathwa njengokuhle kanti okuhle kuthathwa njengokubi
Siphila eminyakeni yobudala, lapho okubi kubhekwa njengokuhle futhi okuhle kubhekwa njengokubi. Isonto ngalinye abashumayeli abaningi bashumayela epulpiti ukuthi akunandaba ukuthi wenzani nokuthi uphila kanjani, UNkulunkulu uyakuthanda futhi uyakwamukela noma kunjalo.
Bathi, lokho uma ususindisiwe uhlezi usindisiwe futhi ungaba nobudlelwane noNkulunkulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhamba kanjani, isenzo, futhi uziphathe.
Konke kungumusa kaNkulunkulu ngakho-ke kulungile ukuhlala ngokwenyama futhi uphile, njengomhlaba nje, Esonweni. Kodwa ngokushumayela lezi zintshumayelo, nangokulalela lezi zintshumayelo, nangokukholwa nangokulandela lezi zintshumayelo, amaKristu amaningi akhathaza iNkosi.
Umusa wamanga ebandleni
Umusa, umusa, nomusa. Indlu kaNkulunkulu ichichima umusa, uthando, ukubekezelelana, kanye nokwamukelwa. Kodwa umusa kaNkulunkulu oshunyayelwa emabandleni amaningi, umusa kaNkulunkulu weqiniso? Ingabe unxusa amaKristu ukuba abekezelele futhi amukele ukuziphatha okubi nokona (ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu) ngempela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu?
Ingabe kuliqiniso, ukuthi uma wamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi wakho futhi umenze iNkosi yempilo yakho, akunandaba ukuthi uhamba kanjani? Ukuthi kulungile ukuqhubeka uphila esonweni? Akunandaba ukuthi wena, njengomKristu ozelwe ngokusha, hamba njengomhlaba? (Funda futhi: ‘Ilahlekile olwandle lomusa‘).
Iqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu
Linye kuphela iqiniso futhi lelo yiZwi likaNkulunkulu (Ibhayibheli). EZwini likaNkulunkulu, uzothola iqiniso laphakade. Lapho uvula iBhayibheli futhi ufunda amazwi kaNkulunkulu, uzothola, ungubani uNkulunkulu, ungubani uJesu, nokuthi ungubani uMoya oNgcwele nokuthi yini Abayithandayo nabangayithandi. NgeZwi, uzokwazi intando kaNkulunkulu.
Lapho uzalwa ngokusha futhi uba indodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), kufanele ulazi iZwi, ngoba nizelwe nguye. UNkulunkulu usephenduke uYihlo futhi kufanele uhambe ngokwentando yakhe futhi Imiyalo Yakhe.
Lapho ubhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele, Imvelo kaNkulunkulu ingena ngaphakathi kuwe. Uzohamba kule mvelo entsha futhi alikhumule ikhehla futhi gqoka entsha indoda
Ukwenza kanjani lokho? Into yokuqala okufanele uyenze ukubeka isikhathi kumuntu omusha ongokomoya. Chitha isikhathi eZwini ngomthandazo, futhi ube nenhlanganyelo noNkulunkulu, ngoJesu Kristu noMoya oNgcwele.
Vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi, ukuze ingqondo yenu endala yenyama iguqulwe ibe yingqondo kaKristu.
Lapho wondla umoya wakho ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi usebenzisa amazwi Akhe ekuphileni kwakho, uba umenzi weZwi nomoya wakho uyavuthwa. Ingqondo nemicabango yakho kuzohambisana neZwi. Umoya wakho uzobusa phezu komphefumulo wakho nomzimba wakho futhi uzohamba ngokweZwi ngokulandela uMoya.
UMoya oNgcwele akalokothi uphikisane neZwi
UMoya oNgcwele neZwi baMunye. Awahlukene futhi awaphikisani. Yingakho kubalulekile uma uthola igama, iphupho, umbono, noma isambulo, ukuthi uhlale uhlola lokhu ngeZwi (Ibhayibheli). Ngoba uma uthole izwi, iphupho, umbono, noma isambulo, lokho kuphikisana neZwi, kufanele uyenqabe.
Khumbula, ukuthi udeveli uza njengengelosi yokukhanya hhayi njengengelosi yobumnyama.
Kuphi okudaliwe okusha?
UJesu wathi, ukuthi uma umthanda, uzogcina Imiyalo Yakhe. Uzothola imiyalo Yakhe eBhayibhelini; iZwi. Ngakho-ke, uma umthanda uJesu, uyawagcina amazwi Akhe, lalela amazwi akhe, futhi wenze amazwi Akhe. IZwi, Ibhayibheli, kufanele kube igunya eliphakeme kunawo wonke empilweni yawo wonke umKristu. IZwi liyimanyuwali yezidalwa ezintsha, amaKristu asebephenduke baba kuKristu.
Kodwa baphi bonke okudaliwe okusha? Aphi amadodana namadodakazi kaNkulunkulu? Baphuma nini ekhabetheni? Wonke umuntu uphuma ekhabetheni, ngaphandle kwabo. Kungani kunjalo? Yini ebagcinayo?
Hhayi-ke, okubavimbayo yibo izimfundiso zamanga ezishunyayelwa emapulpiti amaningi. Kancane kancane, kwangena abafundisi nabashumayeli bamanga abaningi ebandleni. Ngamazwi abo okukhohlisa okuyize, eziphuma emqondweni wabo wenyama, bangcolise futhi baguqula ivangeli leqiniso likaJesu Kristu balenza amanga.
Baxube ivangeli nolwazi nobuhlakani bomhlaba. Bangcolise ivangeli elinamandla ngamafilosofi abo, okutholakele, Imibono, kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho. Ngakho-ke umyalezo, ukuthi abashumayelayo kungokwenyama futhi akulutho, kunamanga avela kuSathane.
Masonto onke, kushunyayelwa amanga amaningi, futhi okubi kakhulu ukuthi amaKristu amaningi aphuphuthekiswe amanga awo futhi acabanga ukuthi asenalo iqiniso futhi ahamba eqinisweni..
Ingabe izikhulumi ezikhuthazayo ziyayikhathaza iNkosi?
Abashumayeli abaningi sebephenduke izikhulumi ezikhuthazayo, abathokozisa abantu esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. Balungisa amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngokuvumelana nezidingo, izinkanuko, nezifiso zamaKristu. Izintshumayelo zabo zisekelwe kulokho abantu abafuna ukukuzwa, iminyaka esiphila kuyo, kanye nezindinganiso zomhlaba, esikhundleni sezindinganiso zikaNkulunkulu. Ngomlayezo wabo okhuthazayo nowokuzisiza, bondla umuntu omdala wenyama esikhundleni somuntu omusha womoya.
Esikhundleni sokubhekana nokushushiswa, abefundisi abaningi, abashumayeli, abaprofethi, abavangeli, kanye nabafundisi, ziphakeme, bakhonza, futhi ubekwe phansi abantu.
Isizathu esenza bakhulekelwe ukuthi bangabezwe futhi banomoya wezwe ophila ngaphakathi kubo.
Baholwa umoya wezwe. Ngakho-ke bayahlonipha, ubekezele, futhi wamukele ukuziphatha okuyisono, futhi bashumayele lokho abantu benyama abathanda ukukuzwa. (Funda futhi: UMoya oNgcwele u-vs umoya omusha wobudala).
Ngeshwa, abasebaningi obaba bakamoya, ongumfundi, fundisa, futhi baqondise izingane zabo ngendlela efanele eZwini. Ukuze, bayohlala endleleni efanele yokuphila.
Esikhundleni sokuqondisa amaKristu, lezi abefundisi bamanga, abashumayeli, abaprofethi, nabafundisi bavuma futhi bamukele zonke izinto, noma bephambana nentando kaNkulunkulu. Ngobani? Ngoba abafuni ukucasula amaKristu enyama futhi babangele ukuba bahambe besuka ebandleni. Cha, bafuna ukuthandwa nokwamukelwa yibo nawumhlaba. Kodwa lokho abaningi babo abakwazi, lokho ngokuziphatha kwabo, bayayikhathaza iNkosi.
Abashumayeli, abadinwa iNkosi babangela abalandeli babo ukuba bayikhathale iNkosi
Abayikhathazi iNkosi kuphela, kodwa zenza amaKristu amaningi nawo akhathale iNkosi. AmaKhristu amaningi acabanga, ukuthi bahambe eqinisweni, ngenxa yalokho okushiwo umfundisi wabo. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, ukuthi bahamba ngamanga. Bacabanga ukuthi bajabulisa uNkulunkulu, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, ukuthi abamthokozisi nhlobo uNkulunkulu. Bajabulisa udeveli futhi basendleleni eya echibini lomlilo laphakade. (Funda futhi: Kungani izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha ongeke ufike kwabaningi?).
Ingabe wonke umuntu, owenza okubi, ngqo emehlweni eNkosi?
Ithi iNkosi kuMalaki 2:17, ukuthi abantu badinwe iNkosi, ngokuthi wonke umuntu, owenza okubi, Ohamba Ngokuphikisana Nentando KaNkulunkulu, futhi ngokumelene neZwi likaNkulunkulu, muhle emehlweni kaJehova. Nokuthi uJehova uthokozile ngalabo bantu, abahlala esonweni nobubi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu akazithandi izoni, abaqhubeka behamba esonweni.
UNkulunkulu wanikela ngeNdodana yaKhe Ngoba izoni, ukuze izoni zihlengwe emvelweni yazo yesono, ngokukholwa kuKristu nangabo ukuphenduka futhi azalwe kabusha.
Uma uzalwa kabusha, nihlukanisiwe nezwe nesono.
Manje, ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe, awusayikulalela inyama yakho nentando yakho yenyama, izinkanuko, kanye nezifiso, kodwa umoya wakho. Niyakulalela lokho uMoya oNgcwele neZwi elikushoyo kini futhi niyakubalalela.
Senilungisisiwe futhi nalungisiswa ngegazi likaJesu Kristu hhayi ngemisebenzi yenu; ngokugcina umthetho kaMose (imithetho yemihlatshelo, imithetho yokudla, imiyalelo, amasiko, njll.).
Kodwa manje, ukuthi wenziwe olungileyo, kufanele futhi uhambe ngobungcwele nokulunga, ngoba lokho kuyimvelo yendalo entsha.
Ingabe umusa uyimvume yokona ngokweBhayibheli?
Imiyalezo yomusa nothando eshunyayelwa namuhla, zikhishiwe kumongo wazo. Kodwa lokhu akuyona into entsha. Ngoba njengoba ungase ukwazi, UPawulu wabuye waxoxa ngale ndaba encwadini ayibhalela abangcwele baseRoma. UPawulu wabhalela ibandla mayelana nokusebenzisa kabi umusa kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yenyama.
Siqhubeke esonweni, ukuze umusa wavame? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele. Sizokwenza kanjani, abafile esonweni, hlalani nisaba khona? Anazi nina, ukuthi sonke esabhabhathizelwa kuKristu Jesu, sabhabhathizelwa ekufeni kwakhe? (AmaRoma 6:1-3)
Umusa kaNkulunkulu awusiyo imvume yokona. Kodwa umusa kaNkulunkulu usho lokho, ekuqaleni, ufanelwe futhi kufanele uthole isigwebo sentambo, kodwa esikhundleni salokho, UNkulunkulu ukunikeze indlela yokuphuma. Uthumela iNdodana Yakhe ukuzokukhokhela inani, ukuze ungadingi. Ngokukholwa kuJesu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga nangegazi Lakhe nokuzalwa kabusha, ungase ube isidalwa esisha futhi ube umhlanganyeli weSivumelwano Esisha futhi ubuyisane noNkulunkulu, futhi uthole ukuphila okuphakade.
Isiyalo nokuqondisa kuyingxenye yothando
Uma ukhuluma ngothando, khona-ke isiyalo nokuqondisa kuyingxenye yothando. Lapho uthanda umuntu, awufuni kwenzeke okubi kulowo muntu. Ufuna ukumgcina ephephile lowo muntu futhi umvikele ebubini, izingozi, ubuhlungu, njll.
Ngokwesibonelo, lapho abazali bethanda izingane zabo, bazoyala, imfundiso yokulalela, futhi baqondise izingane zabo. Lokho kuyingxenye yokukhulisa izingane kanye nesibopho sabazali. Kodwa lapho abazali bengazilungisi izingane zabo futhi bazivumele ukuba ziphile ukuphila kwazo, benza intando yabo, nokuzithathela izinqumo, khona-ke lezi zingane ziyoba imicibisholo engacishiwe.
Ingabe amaKristu ayayikhathaza iNkosi?
UNkulunkulu uyakuthanda, njengoba nje umzali ethanda ingane yakhe. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ufuna ube nokuphila okunethezeka emoyeni futhi akuvikele ebubini, ubuhlungu, ukufa, nesihogo. Kungakho uNkulunkulu ekunike iZwi lakhe ukuze likuvikele ugweme okubi. IZwi liyohola, fundisa, imfundiso yokulalela, -fanele, futhi ngikukhulise. Ukuze, uzokhula ube ngumfanekiso kaJesu.
Kodwa lapho iZwi likaNkulunkulu leqiniso lingasashunyayelwa. Uma amakholwa engalungiswa. Futhi lapho amazwi eBhayibheli aguqulwa abe yintando, izinkanuko, kanye nezifiso zabantu benyama, ukuze amazwi azongena ezimpilweni zabo, bese bephenduka imicibisholo engacishiwe, abasendleleni eya esihogweni.
Kukhona kuphela indlela eyodwa futhi lowo nguJesu Kristu.
Lapho wenza uJesu Kristu iNkosi yempilo yakho, uzozithoba kuYe. Uyakulalela uJesu futhi uhambe emiyalweni yakhe futhi uhlale kuye.
Kodwa lapho ungafuni ukuzithoba kuJesu futhi ungalaleli amazwi nemiyalo Yakhe, bese uyakhombisa, ngezenzo zakho, ukuthi uJesu akasiyo iNkosi yokuphila kwakho. Kodwa inkosi yempilo yakho ingusathane.
Ngakho-ke izenzo zakho zichaza ukuthi ungokabani: UJesu Kristu noma udeveli. Lapho usathane enguyihlo, kufanele wazi, ukuthi indawo oya kuyo ngeke ibe khona umhlaba omusha, kodwa ichibi lomlilo.
Ibandla lidinga abashumayeli abanomgogodla
Isonto alibadingi abashumayeli, abakhathele iNkosi, kodwa ibandla lidinga abashumayeli abanomgogodla. Abashumayeli, abangakwesabi ukushumayela iqiniso (amazwi kaNkulunkulu eqiniso). Ibandla lidinga abashumayeli, abangesabi ukumela iZwi, naphezu kokuthi abantu bazizwa kanjani, cabanga, noma usho. Abashumayeli, abangabheki ukutuswa ngabantu nokuphakanyiswa ngabantu, kodwa abashumayeli, abahlala bethembekile kuNkulunkulu futhi bahlale entandweni kaNkulunkulu futhi bamele iqiniso Lakhe, naphezu kokuphikiswa nokushushiswa ababengase bakukhuthazelele.
Sidinga abashumayeli, abangcwelisa futhi bahlanze uMzimba kaKristu ngeZwi.
Abashumayeli, abangesabi ukulungisa izivakashi zesonto, abaqhubeka bephila esonweni.
Noma ngabe lokhu kusho, ukuthi uma, abahlala esonweni, ngeke alalele, bayoba asuswe ebandleni. Ukuze, amanye amakholwa ebandla angeke athintwe futhi angcoliswe isono somuntu futhi abe umhlanganyeli wesono sakhe ngesidlo. Siyabadinga abashumayeli, abayeka ukuyidina iNkosi.
Ngakho-ke abashumayeli, vikela izimvu zeNkosi. Bakhulise eZwini, ukuze bavuthwe futhi bazi intando kaNkulunkulu futhi bakhule babe ngumfanekiso kaKristu.
Lapho amaKristu ekhula ngomfanekiso kaKristu, khona-ke ibandla liyoba umzimba onamandla kaJesu Kristu esikhundleni somzimba obuthakathaka.
UKristu makashunyayelwe futhi
Uma uJesu nesiphambano kushunyayelwa futhi, abantu abaningi bayodonselwa ekukhanyeni, phenduka futhi banikele ukuphila kwabo kuJesu, futhi usindiswe. Ngoba uJesu wathi, ukuthi amasimu asemhlophe ukuvunwa, kodwa izisebenzi ziyingcosana. Isizathu esenza ukuthi kube nezisebenzi ezimbalwa ukuthi lokho okubizwa ngeqiniso kuyashunyayelwa, imbozwe ngamanga amaningi.
Asi, ngakho-ke, thandazela izisebenzi ezinomgogodla, abakhuluma iqiniso, futhi angesabi ukulungisa amaKristu. (Funda futhi: Osafisa ukusebenza esivinini?).
Yeka ukudinwa iNkosi!
Asisuse wonke amanga ebandleni; ezimpilweni zamaKristu futhi uqale ukuphila izimpilo ezingcwele ezingcwele. Wenziwe ngcwele futhi ulungile ngoJesu Kristu, ngegazi Lakhe kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga. Lokhu kusho ukuthi awusesona isoni, kodwa usube ngcwele! Ngakho-ke, awusayikuphila impilo yesoni futhi uhambe umkhuba esonweni, kodwa uyakuphila impilo yongcwele. (Funda futhi: Ingabe uhlale uyisoni njalo?).
Ufanele uphendukele eZwini futhi wenze lokho iNkosi; iZwi, ukutshela ukuthi uzenze. Esikhundleni sokuhamba olwazini, amazwi, Imibono, kanye nokutholwa kwabantu benyama futhi kuyidina iNkosi.
Uma iZwi lithi, ukuthi kukhona okubi, kusho ukuthi kubi futhi akukuhle. Masingambozi ububi ngomusa kaNkulunkulu. Umusa kaNkulunkulu awuhloselwe ukumboza kodwa ukwambula.
Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, seniwamukele uMoya wakhe oNgcwele, ukuze ukwazi ukuthola iqiniso futhi wembule amaqiniso kaNkulunkulu, futhi wehlukanise amanga kaSathane.
Ungabe usayikhathaza iNkosi ngamazwi akho ayize nangokusho, ukuthi uma umuntu enza into ephikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu kanye neZwi likaNkulunkulu, ukuthi konke kulungile. Kodwa phaphamani ekulungeni, nithokozise uJehova, ngokukhuluma amazwi Akhe nokuba umenzi weZwi nangokususa zonke izinto ezimbi ezimpilweni zakho nasebandleni, ukuze sonke sihambe njengabantwana Bakhe futhi siphile entandweni Yakhe ebungcweleni nasekulungeni.
