Uma uyindodana kaNkulunkulu, khona-ke umhlaba awukwazi, ngoba umhlaba kawumazi. Yilokho iBhayibheli elikushoyo 1 UJohane 3:1. Umhlaba ngeke usakuqonda futhi ucabanga ukuthi uyisiwula futhi unoboya. Ngobani? Ngoba izwe lisebumnyameni nalabo, abangabezwe bangabenyama, bahamba ngokwenyama ngokombusi waleli zwe, babusa izinzwa, imizwelo, imizwa, Imicabango njll. Inyama ibusa ukuphila. Kodwa uma uzelwe kabusha kuKristu, ususiwe ebumnyameni wayiswa embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngakho-ke ngeke usaphila njengezwe (ebumnyameni) yini. Usuyindodana noma indodakazi kaNkulunkulu futhi awuseyona indodana noma indodakazi kadeveli. Uzelwe nguNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu usebe nguYihlo, ngalokho uyakumlalela, wenze intando yakhe. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uzohamba emva kukaMoya, ukuholwa yiZwi noMoya nokuhamba entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Ihlukaniswe nezwe
Bheka, UBaba uthini kithi, ukuthi kufanele sibizwe ngamadodana kaNkulunkulu: ngalokho izwe alisazi, ngoba ibingamazi (1 UJohane 3:1)
Ngokushesha nje lapho uba azalwe kabusha, futhi ube yindodana kaNkulunkulu, nizakwahlukaniswa nezwe. Umoya wakho uzophila ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Uzokwamukela isimo sikaNkulunkulu, Ngokuhlala Komoya Ongcwele. Uma u vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi usebenzise amazwi kaNkulunkulu empilweni yakho, uzophila ngalokho iZwi elikushoyo, esikhundleni salokho umhlaba, izinzwa zakho nemizwa yakho ithi.
UMoya oNgcwele, Ohlala ngaphakathi kwakho uyokuqondisa futhi akufundise, ukuze nikwazi ukuqonda iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Lapho wena vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu, kulapho ingqondo yakho izaguqulwa ibe ngumqondo kaKristu, futhi uzohambisana Intando kaNkulunkulu. Lapho usebenzisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu ekuphileni kwakho kwansuku zonke, uyakuhlala kuJesu Kristu; iZwi futhi bahambe ngokulandela uMoya esikhundleni senyama.
Umhlaba uzokujikela
Lapho usuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi uhambe emva kukaMoya futhi wenze lokho iZwi elikushoyo, uzoqaphela, ukuthi umhlaba uzoshintsha isimo sakho sengqondo ngawe futhi uzokuphatha ngendlela ehlukile. Abantu, ababengabangane bakho, mangale, amalungu omndeni noma ozakwethu abaseduze, bazoshintsha ukuziphatha kwabo futhi abanye bayoze bakujikele.
Lapho uqala ukubukeka nokwenza njengeZwi, yilapho bezoba nobutha ngokwengeziwe. Mhlawumbe awuqondi ukuthi kwenzekani, futhi ufuna izimpendulo zokuchaza ukuziphatha kwabo okunobutha kuwe. Kodwa ngeke uyithole impendulo, ufuna.
Mhlawumbe uyacabanga, ukuthi wenze okungalungile, futhi ufuna ukwazi, lokho okwenzile okubi. Kodwa ake ngikutshele lokhu: awenzanga lutho olubi futhi abenzanga lutho olubi.
Kumayelana neqiniso, ukuthi ubaba walumhlaba; usathane, uyamzonda uMuntu, ohlala ngaphakathi kwakho: uJesu.
Usathane uyaMzonda futhi uyohlala emzonda. Ngakho-ke, abantwana bakasathane, uzozonda nabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Akekho ongakushintsha lokho. Kuyiqiniso.
“Uma umhlaba uzokuzonda, yazini ukuthi langizonda Mina ngaphambi kwenu”
UJesu uthi: Uma umhlaba uzokuzonda, Uyazi ukuthi bekuzonda ngaphambi kokuba likuzonda. Ukube wawungowomhlaba, umhlaba ubungathanda okwakhe: Kepha ngoba awuyena owomhlaba, kodwa mina ngilikhethile emhlabeni, ngalokho izwe liyanizonda. Khumbulani izwi engalikhuluma kini, Inceku ayinkulu kunenkosi yayo. Uma bengishushisile, bayakunizingela nani; Uma beligcinile izwi lami, bayokugcina neyakho (Jn 15:18-20)
Lapho usuzalwa ngokusha, anisayikuhamba ngendlela enanihamba ngayo; Ngemuva kwenyama. Kodwa niyophila ngoMoya nangeZwi. Ngenxa yalokho, umhlaba kawusayikuba njengawe, futhi uyakuzonda nani.
Umhlaba awunakukuzonda; kodwa mina liyangizonda, Ngoba ngifakaza ngakho, ukuthi imisebenzi yayo imbi (Jn 7:7)
Ngenkathi abafundi beyindalo endala, umhlaba wawungabazondi. Kodwa izwe lamzonda uJesu, ngoba wafakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yakhe mibi.
UMoya oNgcwele ofanayo, Owayephila kuJesu, uhlala ngaphakathi kwakho, futhi uzofakaza futhi ukuthi imisebenzi yomhlaba mibi. UJesu akazange avumele isono, kodwa wembula isono futhi wabiza abantu ukuphenduka.
Iphunga elimnandi noma iphunga elibi?
uyakuba yiphunga elimnandi kulabo, abafuna iqiniso, nakulabo, abakhethwe nguNkulunkulu. Kodwa uzakuba yiphunga elibi kulabo, abangafuni ukulalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi abafuna ukuqhubeka bephila ekuhlubukeni kuNkulunkulu naseZwini Lakhe.
Ngoba thina singoNkulunkulu iphunga elimnandi likaKristu, Kuzo ezisindisiwe, nakulabo abashabalalayo: KuLowo siyiphunga lokufa kuze kube sekufeni; nakwelinye iphunga lempilo empilweni (2 Ukukhanywa 2:15,16)
Lapho izwe likuthanda, kufanele uzihlole, uma ngempela uhamba njengokusho kweZwi? Ingabe ngempela uyiphunga elimnandi likaKristu kuNkulunkulu? Noma useyiphunga lokufa kuNkulunkulu? Ingabe ngempela uzelwe kabusha ngoMoya oNgcwele, nihamba ngokukaMoya? Noma useyisoni? Ingabe ujwayele ukuhlala ngokungalungile futhi esonweni, futhi zingukufa kuYe?
Ezama kanzima ukwamukelwa wumhlaba
Kungani amaKristu amaningi kangaka ezama kanzima kangaka ukwamukelwa yizwe? Kungani befuna ukuthandwa yizwe, futhi ulungise iZwi likaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, ukuze bakwazi ukuzihlanganisa nabo futhi baphile ncamashi njengezwe? Kungani amaKristu engazisusi nje izinto zezwe ezimpilweni zawo, esikhundleni sokwenza ubuKristu izinto zezwe futhi uzenze zonke zilungile futhi zamukeleke kuzo, ukuze baqhubeke bezenza? Kungani amakholwa ezama ukusindisa umhlaba ngokushintsha ibandla likaKristu libe ibandla labantu, lapho abantu beyisizinda esikhundleni sikaKristu? Kungani bengaphumeleli iZwi futhi bame eZwini? Kungani bengathathi ukuma kuJesu Kristu? Ngobani? Ngobani?
Ungawuthandi umhlaba, loba okusezweni. Uma umuntu ethanda umhlaba, uthando lukaBaba alukho kuye (1 Jn 2:15)
Uma izwe likuthanda, futhi uyawuthanda umhlaba futhi uphila njengomhlaba, khona uthando lukaBaba alukho kini. Lapho uthando lukaNkulunkulu lungekho kuwe, khona-ke uMoya oNgcwele akekho kuwe, ngakho-ke uJesu akekho kini. Akuwona amazwi ami lawa, kodwa angamaZwi aKhe.
