Imali ayibi, kodwa ukuthanda imali kubi, icashunwa amaKristu amaningi. Kuzwakala kungcwele futhi kuyiqiniso, ngoba iBhayibheli lithi 1 UThimothewu 6:10, ukuthi uthando lwemali luyimpande yakho konke okubi. Nokho, ingabe la mazwi aphuma enhliziyweni elungile ekaJesu noma enhliziyweni eyonakele enobugovu futhi engekaMamona?? Ngoba izikhathi eziningi, la mazwi asetshenziswa amaKristu ukuze afihle uthando lwawo lwemali nokuhaha nokulangazelela ingcebo. Lithini iBhayibheli ngokuthanda imali nokufisa ingcebo nokuthi kwenzekani uma imali iba unkulunkulu wakho?
Isixwayiso sabafundisi bamanga ababheka ukumesaba uNkulunkulu njengendlela yenzuzo futhi bahwebe kwabakholwayo
Ku 1 UThimothewu 6:1-10, UPawulu waxwayisa uThimothewu ngabafundisi bamanga, owafundisa enye imfundiso, ngokuphambene nemfundiso yakhe kanye namazwi aphilayo, ngisho amazwi eNkosi uJesu Kristu, lemfundiso ehambelana lokumesaba uNkulunkulu. Laba bafundisi bamanga babebheka ukwesaba uNkulunkulu njengendlela yokuzuza.
Kodwa ukukhonza uNkulunkulu kanye lokwaneliseka kuyinzuzo enkulu. Ngoba kasilethanga lutho emhlabeni, futhi kuqinisekile ukuthi ngeke siphume lutho. Futhi sinokudla nezingubo asaneliswe yikho. Kepha abafuna ukuceba bawela esilingweni nasogibeni, nasezinkanukweni eziningi zobuwula nezilimazayo, ezishonisa abantu ekubhujisweni nasekubhujisweni. Ngokuba ukuthanda imali kuyimpande yakho konke okubi: okwathi ngenkathi abanye beyifisa, sebedukile ekukholweni, bazigwaza ngeminjunju eminingi. Kodwa wena, O muntu kaNkulunkulu, balekelani lezizinto; futhi ulandele ukulunga, ubuNkulunkulu, ukholo, uthando, ukubekezela, ubumnene. Yilwa Ukulwa Okuhle Kokholo, babambe impilo engapheli, Ubizwa na kuphi futhi, futhi bashiye umsebenzi omuhle ngaphambi kofakazi abaningi (1 UThimothewu 6:6-12)
UPetru waxwayisa nangabafundisi bamanga, abazongenisa izifundiso ezilahlwayo nangokuhaha ngamazwi akhohlisayo benze ukuhweba kwamakholwa. (2 UPetru 2:1-4).
Lithini iBhayibheli ngokuthanda imali?
IBhayibheli lithi ukuthanda imali kuyimpande yakho konke okubi. UPawulu wabhala ku 1 UThimothewu 6:10, ukuthi lezo, oyakuceba uyakuwela esilingweni nasogibeni, nasezinkanukweni eziningi zobuwula nezilimazayo, ezishonisa abantu ekubhujisweni nasekubhujisweni. Ngokuba ukuthanda imali kuyimpande yakho konke okubi, okwathi ngenkathi abanye beyifisa, sebedukisiwe ekukholweni, bazigwaza ngeminjunju eminingi.
Ngeshwa, amaKristu amaningi awasinakanga lesi sixwayiso.
AmaKristu amaningi aye akhohliswa izimfundiso zamanga, okwavela ekuhaheni (ukuhaha) futhi ugxile (eyanelisayo) izinkanuko nezifiso zomuntu wenyama nokuchuma kwasemhlabeni.
Ngenxa yalezi zimfundiso ezingamanga, amaKristu amaningi akhohlisiwe futhi abe ngaphansi kokulawula kukamamona. Banothando lwemali futhi balawulwa ukuhaha, lapho benganeliseki futhi benganeliseki kodwa baqhubeka nokukhanuka imali eyengeziwe.
Konke kugxile emalini ezimpilweni zabo.
Basebenzisa izimiso zeBhayibheli emithandazweni kanye namazwi kaNkulunkulu ezinkanukweni nasezifisweni zabo zenyama futhi basebenzisa izindlela ezikhohlisayo zomphefumulo endaweni kamoya ukuze bathole imali futhi badonsele ingcebo yaleli zwe kubo., njengalezo nje, abangabezwe nombusi waleli zwe, usathane futhi abamazi uNkulunkulu.
Ngokukholwa emicabangweni yabo, amagama, nezindlela abazitholayo abakufunayo. Nokho, ngoba bangabenyama abakwazi lokho ngokusebenzisa lezi zindlela zokukhohlisa nokuhlanganyela emikhubeni yemimoya., baphinde bavule amasango obumnyama futhi abamukeli ingcebo yasemhlabeni kuphela, kodwa futhi nenkohlakalo nobubi bomhlaba (Funda futhi: Ingabe ukuphila kuyisiprofetho esizigcwalisayo?)
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, awukwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu
Ungabeki ingcebo emhlabeni, lapho kona inundu nokugqwala, nalapho amasela efohla khona ebe: Kodwa zibekeleni ingcebo ezulwini, lapho kungoni inundu nokugqwala, nalapho amasela engafohli khona, ebe: Ngoba lapho umcebo wakho ukhona, lapho inhliziyo yakho izoba khona (Mathewu 6:19-21)
Akekho umuntu ongakhonza amakhosi amabili: ngoba loba uzazonda oyedwa, futhi nithande omunye; noma ibambelele kwenye, futhi badelele omunye. Anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona (Mathewu 6:24)
UJesu waxwayisa izikhathi eziningi ngengozi yokuthanda imali nokukhohlisa kwengcebo. UJesu wathi, phakathi kwabanye, ukuthi awukwazi ukukhonza amakhosi amabili. Ngoba uzozonda enye uthande enye noma ubambelele kwenye udelele omunye. Ngakho-ke, anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona.
Nokho, abashumayeli abaningi basho okuphambene futhi bathi ungabathanda bobabili futhi ubakhonze bobabili.
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi amaKristu amaningi akholelwa amazwi abashumayeli ngaphezu kwamazwi kaJesu, bakholwa lamanga bahambe kulamanga banothando lwemali bagxile emalini babeke ithemba labo emalini, njengomhlaba nje (Funda futhi: Kungani kushunyayelwa ivangeli lokuchuma?).
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, uzothembela emalini esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu
Usho kanje uJehova, Ohlakaniphileyo makangazibongi ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, neqhawe malingaziqhayisi ngamandla alo, ocebileyo makangazigabisi ngengcebo yakhe: Kepha ozibongayo makazibonge ngalokhu, ukuthi uyangiqonda futhi uyangazi Mina, ukuthi nginguJehova owenza umusa, isahlulelo, nokulunga, emhlabeni: ngoba lezizinto ngiyathokoza, isho iNkosi (Jeremiya 9:23-24)
Futhi Yena (uJesu) wathi kubo, Qaphela, futhi xwayani ukuhaha: ngokuba ukuphila komuntu akumi ebuningini bezinto anazo (Luka 12:15)
Kodwa iZwi liyasho, ukuthi akufanele uthembele emalini, kodwa kufanele uthembele kuNkulunkulu. Imali iyithuluzi emhlabeni futhi kufanele ihlale iyithuluzi futhi akufanele ibe unkulunkulu ezimpilweni zamaKrestu.
Nokho, amaKristu amaningi athembele kakhulu emalini kunoNkulunkulu, njengomhlaba nje.
Mhlawumbe imali inenani elikhulu emhlabeni, kodwa imali ayisizi lutho eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Awukwazi ukuthenga ukungena eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, noma ukuthenga izinto zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Ngokuphambene nabantu emhlabeni, UNkulunkulu akadayiswa futhi awukwazi ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngemali kanye/noma ukufumbathisa uNkulunkulu ngemali. NoMoya oNgcwele nawo awudayiswa (Luka 12:15-21, IzEnzo 8:17-24).
NguJesu Kristu kuphela ongakusindisa futhi akugcine. Igazi lakhe lingakuhlanza kuzo zonke izono zakho nobubi bakho futhi likuthethelele futhi likubuyisele kuNkulunkulu. NgoJesu Kristu kuphela ongangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi wamukele uMoya oNgcwele.
Futhi uma nje ubeke ithemba lakho kuJesu futhi umlalele futhi ugcine imiyalo yakhe, uzoma futhi uhlale usindisiwe (Funda futhi: Ithini imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nemiyalo kaJesu?).
UJesu wayala ibandla laseLawodikeya ukuba liphenduke
Yingakho uJesu ayala ibandla laseLawodikeya ukuba liphenduke. Isonto lalichume kakhulu futhi licebile futhi lithembele engcebweni yakhe. Ibandla lalingaswele lutho. Nokho, yilokho ibandla elikucabangayo.
Emehlweni abantu, isonto lalicebile, -gwilikile, njalo kuthiwa ubusisiwe nguNkulunkulu. Nokho,, emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, ibandla alibusiswanga, -cebile, futhi uphumelele nhlobo, kodwa lisivivi, ngalo uJesu walikhafula ibandla emlonyeni waKhe, futhi elusizi, lusizi, mpofu, -ngaboniyo, futhi nqunu.
UJesu weluleka ibandla ukuba bathenge kuye igolide elicwengiweyo emlilweni, ukuze bacebe, nezingubo ezimhlophe, ukuze bembathe futhi bamboze ihlazo lobunqunu babo, futhi ugcobe amehlo abo ngomuthi wamehlo, ukuze babone (IsAmbulo 3:14-22).
Wonke umuntu, othembela emalini nasemnothweni waleli zwe uzokhohliswa.
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, uzoshiya izindlela eziqondile zikaNkulunkulu
Lapho imali iba unkulunkulu wakho futhi uthando lwakho lwemali lukhulu kunothando lwakho ngoNkulunkulu, uzolingeka ukuba ushiye izindlela zikaNkulunkulu eziqondile futhi ungene ezindleleni zezwe ezonakele.
Ngoba indlela izwe elisebenza ngayo ngokuvamile iyalinga futhi iyathembisa
Uma uthando lwemali lulawula impilo yakho, uzoqamba amanga, khohlisa, futhi ugodle izinto ukuze uthole okwengeziwe. Mhlawumbe uzokwenza umsebenzi ongamenyezelwanga, accounting yokudala, ukweba, yenza ukukhwabanisa, bagweme izintela nemithethonqubo, futhi uvumelane nobubi ukufeza izinkanuko zenyama.
Ngenxa yalokho niyoyishiya indlela kaNkulunkulu eqondile ningene endleleni eyisigwegwe yezwe futhi nihwebe okuhle ngokubi.
Nokunciphisa ukwazi kwakho okukusola buthule ngemuva (futhi mhlawumbe nabantu, abangofakazi bemisebenzi yenu emibi), niyakuza nazo zonke izinhlobo zezaba, izingxabano, futhi uqamba amanga futhi udlale isisulu ukuze uvumele ukuziphatha kwakho okubi nemisebenzi yakho emibi futhi uzikhulule ebubini.
Kodwa akunandaba ukuthi zingaki izingxabano ozisebenzisayo, awusoze waphumelela ukwenza okubi kube kuhle. Ngoba kuNkulunkulu konke kumisiwe phakade. Futhi lokho okulungisiwe noNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade kuxazululwe ekuqapheleni kwawo wonke umuntu.
Ngoba selokhu kwawa umuntu, wonke umuntu unolwazi lokuhle nokubi. Ngakho-ke akekho onganikeza izaba ezizwakalayo zokuziphatha okubi kanye nokuthethelelwa kobubi (Funda futhi: Ungakwazi yini ukusebenzisa umhlaba ophukile njengezaba?).
UNkulunkulu ubona konke. Ubona inhliziyo nobubi obuphuma enhliziyweni embi. Ubona indlela abantu abalahla ngayo iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngokwenza okubi futhi babeke uJesu ehlazweni elisobala (Funda futhi: Ungakwazi yini ukubethela uJesu futhi futhi umbeke ehlazweni obala?).
Abantu bangathi bangamaKristu futhi bakholelwe futhi bafakaze ngoJesu, kodwa ubufakazi bemisebenzi yabo bufakazela ukuthi bangabakaNkulunkulu futhi bazalwa Nguye nokuthi bayamthanda yini uJesu futhi bayamlandela noma cha..
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, amazwi kaNkulunkulu azominyanisa empilweni yakho
Laba ngabahlwanyelwe emeveni; njengabalizwayo izwi, Nezinkathazo zalomhlaba, nenkohliso yengcebo, nezinkanuko zezinye izinto zingena, kuminyanisa izwi, futhi liba lingatheli (Maka 4:18-19)
Emfanekisweni womhlwanyeli uJesu waphinda wembula ingozi nemiphumela yokuthanda imali nokukhohlisa kwengcebo..
UJesu wathi, ukuthi izinkathazo zalomhlaba, inkohliso yengcebo, nezinkanuko zezinye izinto zingena, minyanisa amazwi kaNkulunkulu.
Amakholwa angakwazi ukuzwa futhi amukele amazwi kaNkulunkulu, kepha uma izinkathazo (iziphazamiso) lwaleli zwe nokukhohlisa kwengcebo nezinkanuko zazo zonke ezinye izinto, balawule ukuphila kwabo, amazwi kaNkulunkulu ayominyanisa futhi angabi nazithelo ezimpilweni zamakholwa (Funda futhi: Izinhlobo ezine zamakholwa)
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, amazwi kaNkulunkulu ayosetshenziselwa inzuzo namakholwa njengempahla
Izinhloko zawo zahlulela ngenjongo yokuthola umvuzo, abapristi balo bafundisa ngenkokhelo, nabaprofethi bakhona babhula ngemali: kodwa bazancika eNkosini, futhi uthi, INkosi ayikho phakathi kwethu? akukho okubi okungasehlela. Ngakho ngenxa yenu iZiyoni liyakulinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema liyakuba yizinqwaba, nentaba yendlu njengezindawo eziphakemeyo zehlathi (UMika 3:11-12)
Lapho amaKristu ethanda imali, bayosebenzisa ivangeli namazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye nomthandazo onesizotha njengethuluzi lokuceba.
Abashumayeli, abanothando lwemali baholwa umoya wokuhaha bagxile enzuzweni. Balisebenzisa kabi ivangeli ukuze bazicebise.
Babheka ukholo njengebhizinisi, nebandla njengenkampani, namakholwa njengempahla.
Umsebenzi wabo awukona ukusindisa nokugcina imiphefumulo, nakuba iningi labo lithi liyakwenza, kodwa umgomo wabo ukukhulisa inzuzo (Oh. UHezekeli 22:27, 2 UPetru 2:1-4 (Funda futhi: Ingabe imiphefumulo isindisiwe, ephakelwa futhi ephathwa esontweni?).
Ukuze bafeze umsebenzi wabo, bathembele ekuhlakanipheni kwabo siqu komuntu, ukuqonda, nekhono nokusebenzisa ulwazi nobuhlakani bomhlaba.
Abagxili kuJesu nasentandweni Yakhe, kodwa ngentando, isidingo, nezifiso zabantu futhi asabele kukho.
Futhi ngakho banikeza ibandla ukuguqulwa kwesimanjemanje, ukuze ingaphakathi lebandla lithandeke kakhulu emizweni ye (okwenyama) indoda. Balungisa inkonzo yesonto nezintshumayelo ukuze zihambisane nentando nezifiso zomuntu kanye nalokho abantu abafuna ukukuzwa. Futhi bahlela imisebenzi emnandi nohambo, ukuheha nokugcina abantu abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngoba abantu abaningi kusho imali eyengeziwe futhi ngenxa yalokho inzuzo eyengeziwe.
Ngokusebenzisa amasu okucela, badonsa imizwa yezivakashi zesonto ukuze baqoqe imali eningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngoba lezi (okwenyama) abashumayeli abanciki kuNkulunkulu ukuthi uzohlinzeka, kodwa bathembele kubantu, okufanele abanikeze imali (Funda futhi: Imali, imali, imali).
Abaprofethi baprofetha ngemali
Baningi abaphostoli benyama, abaprofethi, abavangeli, abefundisi, kanye nabafundisi, abahlale befuna i-angle bashumayele kuphela, cela, isiprofetho, nokufundisa ngemali. Abathathi sinyathelo ngaphambi kokuba babone imali. Kodwa abaphostoli abanjalo, abaprofethi, abavangeli, abefundisi, nabafundisi abamazi uNkulunkulu futhi abami enkonzweni Yakhe.
Uma abaprofethi beprofetha ngemali, khona-ke abasibo abaprofethi kepha ababhuli, ababikezela ikusasa lemali kuphela.
Okubuhlungu wukuthi, ukuthi amaKristu amaningi akholelwa lokhu kuhlanya futhi achithe (kakhulu) imali kulaba baprofethi bamanga ukuze bathole isiprofetho ngezimpilo zabo.
AmaKristu amaningi ayawukhokhela umthandazo, isiprofetho, amafutha okugcoba, amanzi angcwele, njll. (Funda futhi: Ingabe abantu bakaNkulunkulu babhujiswa ngenxa yokuswela ulwazi?)
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, aniyikunikela okweshumi, ninikele iminikelo
Ingabe umuntu uzophanga uNkulunkulu? Nokho ningiphanga. Kodwa nithi, Sikuphanga ngakuphi? Kweshumi neminikelo. Niqalekisiwe ngesiqalekiso: ngoba ningiphanga, ngisho lesi sizwe sonke. Lethani konke okweshumi endlini yengcebo, ukuze kube khona inyama endlini, futhi ningifakazele manje ngalokhu, usho uJehova Sebawoti, uma ngingakuvuleli amafasitele asezulwini, futhi nginithululele isibusiso, ukuthi ngeke kube khona indawo eyanele ukuyithola. Futhi ngizokhuza umshwabathi ngenxa yenu, futhi ngeke achithe izithelo zomhlabathi wenu; nomvini wenu awuyikuvuthulula izithelo zawo ngaphambi kwesikhathi ensimini, usho uJehova Sebawoti (UMalaki 3:8-11)
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, ungabe usanikela. Ningabe nisakhokha okweshumi neminikelo futhi nikhumbule abampofu. Kodwa ngoba uholwa umhobholo, uyakuzigcinela inzuzo yakho, uzicebise.
Izikhathi eziningi kusetshenziswa impikiswano yokuthi amaKristu awasaphili ngaphansi komthetho eSivumelwaneni Esidala. Ngakho-ke amaKristu akudingekile ukuba akhiphe okweshumi futhi anikele. Kodwa le mpikiswano iphambene nezinye izivumo zabo. Njengoba abantu abafana no-Abrahama noSolomoni kanye nemiBhalo evela eTestamenteni Elidala besetshenziswa njalo futhi bekhonjwa ukuthethelela ukuhaha nothando lwabo lwemali nokugxila kwabo engcebweni.. Lokhu kungasetshenziswa futhi kucashunwe ukuthola imali evela kuNkulunkulu, kodwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu angeke asetshenziselwe ukunikela kuNkulunkulu.
Ingxenye eyamukelayo isasebenza, kodwa ingxenye yokunikeza isiphelelwe yisikhathi futhi ayisasebenzi kumuntu omusha, ohlala esivumelwaneni esisha?
Ngempela asiphili ngaphansi komthetho kaMose. Kodwa ngaphambi komthetho kaMose, U-Abrahama nabanye abaningi banikela okweshumi kwenzuzo yabo namazibulo enzuzo yabo ngenxa yokubonga kuNkulunkulu. Babengadingeki bakhiphe okweshumi kodwa babefuna ukukhipha okweshumi futhi bakhiphe okweshumi.
Ngokunikela bazinikela kuNkulunkulu futhi bavuma uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu neNkosi yezimpilo zabo noMlungiseleli wabo..
Imali yayingabalulekile, kodwa uNkulunkulu wayebalulekile kubo, abakubonisa ngemisebenzi yabo
Ingabe amaKristu kufanele akhiphe okweshumi ebandleni?
AmaKristu akufanele akhiphe okweshumi esontweni, ngoba konke kungokukaNkulunkulu. Lena enye ingxabano esekelwe esontweni lokuqala futhi icashunwe ngamaKristu amaningi ukuthi kungadingeki ukuthi bakhiphe okweshumi futhi banikeze iminikelo. Kepha abantu, abasho la mazwi angcwele bavame ukunikeza okungaphansi 1 iphesenti (IzEnzo 4:32-37).
Kuyaphawuleka, mingaki imiBhalo ekhishiwe kumongo nokuthi zingaki izaba nezimpikiswano ezisetshenziswa futhi ezicashunwa amaKristu ukuze ahlehle ezibophweni zawo nezibopho zawo..
Uma umuntu enqaba ukukhipha okweshumi nokunikela, lisho okuningi ngomuntu kunamazwi omuntu.
Ukube amaKristu ayengaholwa uthando lwemali nokuhaha, kodwa ngoMoya oNgcwele, babekhipha okweshumi banikele neminikelo, futhi amasonto amaningi abengeke abe nezinkinga zezimali futhi achithe futhi aqashiswe noma athengiselwe izinhlangano zezwe (ama-ejensi, izinhlangano).
Wonke umuntu, abampofu nabacebile, kufanele okungenani banikeze okweshumi kweholo labo ngothando nokubonga kuNkulunkulu, hhayi ngoba befanele kodwa ngoba befuna.
Yebo, ngisho umuntu, ongatholi okuningi futhi mhlawumbe ozabalaza ukuze aphile. Lowo muntu kufanele nakanjani anikele, ukuze umuntu abonise ngesenzo sakhe, ukuthi uyabonga futhi uthembele kuNkulunkulu hhayi emalini yakhe. UNkulunkulu uyakubona futhi ahlinzeke, ngoba uNkulunkulu unguMondli walabo abamthandayo nabamesabayo ngakho-ke balalela amazwi Akhe futhi basebenzise amazwi Akhe ezimpilweni zabo.
Umfelokazi ompofu ethempelini, owanikela ngakho konke anakho, wabonisa ngesenzo sakhe ukuthi wayemthanda kangakanani uNkulunkulu nokuthi uNkulunkulu ubaluleke kangakanani kuye, okungukuthi yonke into (Maka 12:43-44, Luka 21:1-4).
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, uzomphika uJesu
Ngokungafani noJude, omunye kaJesu’ Abafundi. UJude wayethanda imali futhi lolu thando lwalulawula ukuphila kwakhe. Uthando lwakhe ngemali lwalungaphezu kothando lwakhe ngoJesu.
Ngoba uthando lwakhe ngemali lwalungaphezu kothando lwakhe ngoJesu, UJuda wakhaphela uJesu futhi wathengisa uJesu ngezinhlamvu zesiliva ezingamashumi amathathu kubaholi benkolo beNdlu yakwa-Israyeli.
UJude wacabanga ukuthi isenzo sakhe sizomenza acebe futhi ajabule, kodwa uJuda wakhohliswa.
Uthando lwakhe ngemali nesenzo sakhe asizange simzuze nhlobo uJude. Kodwa isenzo sakhe esikhohlakele, ephuma enhliziyweni yakhe eyonakele, waholela uJuda ekufeni.
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, uyakudukisa uMoya oNgcwele
Kwaba njalo naku-Ananiya noSafira, ababengamalungu ebandla lokuqala. Babephendukile (okwamehlo abantu) futhi wabhapathizwa futhi ngokusobala, abaphostoli babebeke izandla zabo phezu kwabo ukuze babhapathizwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Kodwa uthando lwemali lwalubusa ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi lwalulawula ukuphila kuka-Ananiya noSafira, lapho uSathane wayenamandla phezu kwezimpilo zabo.
U-Ananiya noSafira babeholwa ukuhaha futhi bacabanga ukuthi bangakhohlisa uMoya oNgcwele ngakho baqamba amanga kuMoya oNgcwele.. Ngoba babengamazi uNkulunkulu futhi babengamesabi uJehova, babecabanga ukuthi bangabalekela amanga abo futhi bazicebise. Kodwa isenzo sabo asizange sibasize ngalutho, kodwa mabafe (IzEnzo 5:1-11)
Lapho Imali Iba UNkulunkulu Wakho, ngeke ukwazi ukumelana nophawu
Futhi njengoJude, Ananiya, kanye noSafira, kunamaKristu amaningi anothando lwemali olukhulu kunothando lwawo ngoJesu, lapho uSathane ebusa ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi enamandla phezu kwezimpilo zabo.
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi banothando lwemali futhi uthando lwabo lwemali lukhulu kunothando lwabo ngoNkulunkulu uBaba, UJesu iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele, ngeke bakwazi ukumelana nophawu oluyofika (IsAmbulo 13:16-17).
Ngeke bakwazi ukuhlala bethembekile kuJesu futhi baqhubeke bemi okholweni ekulaleleni amazwi kaNkulunkulu, Owaxwayisa ngeZwi futhi wembula imiphumela, kodwa bayonqotshwa ngaphansi kokucindezela kwezwe nomphikukristu.
KunamaKristu, abacabanga ukuthi bangaluthola uphawu, baphenduke emva kwalokho, ukuze banganqatshwa yizwe futhi bakhishwe emphakathini, kodwa ungaliwa nguNkulunkulu ngoSuku Lokwahlulela futhi ukhishwe ezulwini elisha nomhlaba omusha futhi uphonswe echibini lomlilo laphakade..
Bafuna ukuba umngane wezwe nomngane kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa lokho akunakwenzeka!
Noma ngubani ofuna ukuba umngane wezwe futhi abe ngowezwe uyothatha uphawu lwesilo futhi ahlale eyingxenye yomphakathi futhi aphile ngokuchuma ngaphandle kokushushiswa..
Kodwa labo, abangabangane bakaNkulunkulu futhi abangabakaJesu futhi beholwa nguMoya oNgcwele, bayakulandula uphawu kanye nayo yonke imiphumela yalo.
Ukukhetha okwenzayo kuncike othandweni olubusa enhliziyweni yakho futhi obusa empilweni yakho.
Ungavumeli imali ibe unkulunkulu wakho, kodwa uJesu makabe nguNkulunkulu wakho
Gcina impilo yakho ingenalo uthando lwemali, futhi neneliswe yilokho eninakho, ngoba ushilo, “Angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle.” Ngakho singasho ngokuqiniseka, “UJehova ungumsizi wami; ngeke ngesabe; umuntu angangenzani?” (amaHebheru 13:5 ESV)
Ngakho-ke (uma kusebenza), phendukani, imali ingabe isaba unkulunkulu wenu. Ungaholwa ukuhaha (ukuhaha) nenkohliso yengcebo, kodwa vumela uJesu abe nguNkulunkulu wempilo yakho futhi uholwe nguMoya oNgcwele futhi waneliswe. Ngoba ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kanye nokwaneliswa kuyinzuzo enkulu.
UJesu makabe uthando lwempilo yakho esikhundleni semali
Beka ithemba lakho kuJesu futhi umlandele futhi uzakhe ekukholweni kwakho okungcwele kakhulu, ukuze uvuthwe ngokomoya futhi uqine ngokomoya, ukuze nikwazi ukubona inkohliso yezwe futhi nikwazi ukumelana nezilingo, ukucindezelwa, nokushushiswa kwezwe nophawu lwesilo. Futhi njengoJesu, kawuyikukhothama umbusi walumhlaba, uSathane, futhi kayikuba lalutho kuwe, kodwa uyokuma eZwini futhi uhlale uthembekile kuJesu kuze kube sekupheleni.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
