Izwe liyawazonda amaKristu ngoba awawona awezwe, kusho uJesu kuJohane 15:18-19 eBhayibhelini. AmaKristu amaningi ngeke alamukele leli qiniso futhi enze konke angakwenza ukuze izwe liwathande. Sometimes it’s too embarrassing to watch how far Christians go and eventually say or do things that damage the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. Only because these Christians want to be liked and accepted by the world and be friends with the world.
Compromising with the world
Many Christians compromise with the world and think they are some big shot. While in reality these Christians succumbed by the pressure of the world.
They maybe liked and accepted by the world, kodwa emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, banamahloni. Because they were not able to stand on the Word (Ibhayibheli).
They didn’t stay faithful to God and obedient to His will. Kunalokho, bona waphika uJesu Kristu by watering down the gospel and compromising with the world.
Konke ngenxa yokuthi babengazimisele ukufela ‘uqobo lwabo’ futhi badela ukuphila kwabo Futhi landela uJesu.
Everyone that believes has laid down his life
But if you decide to follow Jesus, you crucify your flesh (Mathewu 16:24, Maka 8:34, Luka 9:23). Ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu (ukufa kwenyama nokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo), you have become a new creation in the spiritual realm.
Awuseyindodana kaDeveli (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane) that has the spirit of the world (Umoya Womphikukristu). Ngakho-ke, you don’t belong to the devil and the world anymore.
Kodwa ngokusebenzisa the rebirth, usuyindodana kaNkulunkulu (bobabili abesilisa nabesifazane).
The Holy Spirit dwells in you and you belong to God and His Kingdom.
What happened in the spiritual realm becomes visible in the natural realm. Ngakho-ke, there shall be a change in your life.
Uma ungeke uhlangabezane noshintsho empilweni yakho, ungase uzibuze ukuthi uyikho ngempela yini azalwe kabusha futhi usube yindalo entsha futhi uma uMoya oNgcwele ehlala kuwe.
Lapho usuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu, awusewona owomhlaba. Ngakho-ke, the world no longer welcomes and receives you. Ngaphandle uma uyekethisa futhi uhlale ungokwenyama futhi uqhubeke uphila impilo obuhlala uyiphila.
Uma uphila njengezwe futhi usho futhi wenze izinto ezifanayo nezomhlaba, khona-ke kukhombisa ukuthi awukazalwa kabusha futhi awuhambi emva kukaMoya. Njengoba inyama isaphila futhi inegunya eliphakeme kakhulu empilweni yakho.
IZwi likaNkulunkulu liyashesha futhi linamandla
Ngoba izwi likaNkulunkulu liyashesha, futhi enamandla, nobukhali kunanoma iyiphi inkemba eyehla, Ukubhoboza ngisho nasekuhlukaniseni umphefumulo nomoya, kanye namalunga nommonka, futhi ungumqondo wemicabango nezinhloso zenhliziyo. Futhi asikho isidalwa esingabonakali emehlweni akhe: Kepha zonke izinto zinqunu, zavulwa emehlweni alowo esifanele azenze (amaHebheru 4:12-13)
Lapho uzalwa kabusha kabusha, kubalulekile ku vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uma ungawuvuseleli umqondo wakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu, uzogcina ingqondo yakho yenyama futhi uqhubeke uhamba ngokwenyama futhi usho futhi wenze lokho okushiwo futhi okwenziwa yizwe.
If you don’t read and study the Bible daily, you shall not get to know the Father and His will. As long as you stay ignorant concerning God’s will, you shall live according to your will and what you think is right and wrong.
You shall live as you lived before and not alikhumule ikhehla futhi hhayi gqoka umuntu omusha.
Therefore it’s necessary to read and study your Bible daily and renew your mind. UMoya oNgcwele, Who dwells in you shall help, guide and teach you.
The Holy Spirit teaches you in the Word
Ngenkathi ukhona indalo endala mhlawumbe awuliqondi iBhayibheli. Isizathu sokuthi kungani ungaliqondi iBhayibheli ukuthi umoya wakho wawufile ngakho ingqondo yakho yaba mnyama futhi wawungakwazi ukuqonda izinto zomoya kaNkulunkulu..
Kodwa lapho usuyisidalwa esisha, umoya wakho wavuswa kwabafileyo nangombhapathizo ngoMoya oNgcwele, wamukele uMoya oNgcwele ngakho-ke uyokwazi ukuqonda izinto zikamoya zikaNkulunkulu kanye noMbuso Wakhe.
UMoya oNgcwele uyakwazi ukujula kukaNkulunkulu, ezifihliwe eZwini laKhe.
Ngokutadisha iZwi likaNkulunkulu, ngeke nje uthole ukwazi uJesu, kodwa futhi uyokwazi uNkulunkulu nentando Yakhe. Uzokwazi Imicabango yakhe futhi Izindlela Zakhe.
Zikhathi zonke, lapho uthola iqiniso eZwini likaNkulunkulu eliphikisana nomqondo wakho wenyama wangaphambili kanye nalokho okushiwo yizwe, kuzomele wenze ukukhetha, ukukholwa nokulalela iZwi likaNkulunkulu nokuhamba ngokukholwa emva koMoya noma ukukholwa nokulalela amazwi omhlaba nengqondo yakho yenyama kanye nalokho izinzwa zakho ezikutshela kona nokuhamba ngokwenyama..
Ungahamba ngokukholwa kuphela uma ukholwa ukuthi amazwi kaNkulunkulu ayiqiniso futhi uwalalele futhi wenze amazwi kaNkulunkulu empilweni yakho..
Lapho usuzelwe kabusha futhi uqala ukuhamba emva kweZwi noMoya ngakho-ke hamba ngokukholwa, khona-ke omunye wemiphumela kuyoba ukuthi ngeke usathandwa, kodwa kunalokho nizondwe yibo, abangabezwe, baphile esonweni futhi abazimisele ukuphenduka.
The Word divides soulish people and spiritual people
Ngoba njengoba nje uLizwi ehlukanisa umoya nomphefumulo, kanjalo neZwi liyakuhlukanisa abantu abayimiphefumulo, abahamba emva kwenyama kanye nabantu bakamoya, abahamba ngemuva komoya.
Ngeke wamukelwe futhi wamukelwe yonke indawo lapho uya khona. Ngisho naphakathi kwabafowenu nodadewenu, abacabanga okomhlaba. Hhayi-ke, uma usho lokhu abafuna ukukuzwa futhi ungasho noma yini engase ibacasule futhi inqobo nje uma wenza lokho bona lindela kwakho, khona-ke ngeke kube nezinkinga.
Kodwa uma nje ukhuluma iqiniso futhi ubhekane nabo ngeqiniso leZwi, esikhundleni sokubanika owakho umbono, okuvela enyameni yakho; ingqondo yakho yenyama nokuhlakanipha kwakho kwenyama, ulwazi, imizwelo, kanye nemizwa, khona-ke uzothola ukumelana.
Izwe lamzonda uJesu
UJesu uyiNkosi yethu futhi uma ezondwa futhi eshushiswa yizwe futhi wavinjelwa abantu bakhe ethempelini, Abafundi bakhe, abangabalandeli Bakhe, uzohlangabezana nento efanayo. UJesu wakhuluma ngakho futhi wathi, ukuthi lezo, abamthandayo nabamlalelayo Imiyalo Yakhe, uyozondwa futhi ngisho nokushushiswa.
Futhi niyakuzondwa ngabantu bonke ngenxa yeGama laMi: kepha okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni nguyena oyakusindiswa (Mat 10:22, Mar 13:13, Luka 21:17)
Khona-ke bayoninikela osizini, futhi uzokubulala: niyakuzondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yegama lami. Khona-ke abaningi bayakukhubeka, njalo bazakhaphelana, futhi bazondane (Mathewu 24:9-10)
Nibusisiwe, lapho abantu bezalizonda, nalapho benihlukanisa neqembu labo, futhi bayakuthuka, futhi ulahle igama lakho njengelibi, ngenxa yeNdodana yomuntu. thokozani ngalolosuku, futhi gxuma ngenjabulo: okwe, bheka, umvuzo wenu mkhulu ezulwini: ngoba oyise benza njalo kubaprofethi (Luka 6:22)
Uma umhlaba uzokuzonda, niyazi ukuthi bekuzonda ngaphambi kokuba lizonda. Uma beningabezwe, umhlaba ubungathanda okwakhe: kodwa ngoba anisibo abezwe, 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. Kepha zonke lezi zinto zizokwenza kuwe ngenxa yegama lami, ngoba abamazi lowo ongithumileyo (UJohane 15:18-21)
Ukube bengingaze ngize ngakhulunywa kubo, Babengenasono: Kepha manje abanasondo ngesono sabo. Ongizondayo uzonda noBaba waMi. Ukube bengingenzi phakathi kwawo Imisebenzi okuyinto enye indoda eyenzile, Babengenasono: kodwa manje sebebonile futhi bazonda mina noBaba. Kepha lokhu kuza kudlule, ukuthi leli gama lingagcwaliswa okulotshwe emthethweni wabo, Bangizonda ngaphandle kwesizathu (UJohane 15:22-25)
ngibanikile izwi lakho; futhi izwe labazonda, ngoba abasibo abezwe, njengoba nami ngingesiye owezwe (UJohane 17:14)
Kungani izwe limzonda uJesu?
Umhlaba awunakukuzonda; Kepha mina uyakuzonda, Ngoba ngifakaza ngakho, ukuthi imisebenzi yayo imbi (UJohane 7:7)
UJesu wasinika isizathu, kungani umhlaba wamzonda. UJesu wafakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yezwe mibi, okusho ukuthi Wabhekana nabantu, ababengabezwe, ngesono sabo. Ngenkathi uJesu esho lamazwi kubafundi Bakhe, Abafundi bakhe base beyindalo endala. Babesengabantu benyama futhi bengabesizukulwane esingathembekile esingesomhlaba. Kodwa lapho sebezelwe kabusha futhi bamukela uMoya oNgcwele, futhi bazondwa futhi bashushiswa yizwe. Ngoba bafakaza ukuthi imisebenzi yezwe mibi.
Lapho uMoya oNgcwele ehlala kuwe futhi uhamba ngokulalela uNkulunkulu emva kweZwi ngokulunga, uMoya oNgcwele uzosola umhlaba a.o. yesono.
Ngakho-ke, akufanele umangale futhi umangale lapho abantu, ongakaze uhlangane naye futhi ongakaze ukhulume naye, akuzonde ngaphandle kwesizathu.
Lokho kungenxa yokuthi, ohlala kibo, uzonda Lowo, Ohlala kuwe.
UDeveli, ohlala kuzo uzonda uJesu Kristu, Ohlala kuwe. UJesu wathi, ukuthi lizazondwa ngenxa yalo Egameni lakhe.
Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi nafela kuKristu, ubeke phansi eyakho impilo ngakho-ke akusewena ophilayo, kodwa ngokuvuka komoya wenu kwabafileyo nangokuhlala kukaMoya oNgcwele, UKristu uhlala kuwe. Lapho uKristu ehlala kuwe, uzokhuluma futhi wenze amazwi Akhe futhi uhambe entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
UJesu wakhuluma amazwi kaYise futhi umhlaba wawungeke uwamukele amazwi Akhe. Njengesivumelwano esidala, lapho abaprofethi bekhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi bazondwa, sashushiswa, bayaboshwa futhi ngezinye izikhathi baze babulawe.
Ngakho-ke, lezo, abangabakaJesu nabakhuluma amazwi Akhe, okungamazwi afanayo nakaBaba, lizazondwa yizwe.
Ingabe uyamthanda uNkulunkulu noma uzithanda wena?
Inqobo nje uma ungamthandi uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ingqondo, umphefumulo namandla futhi awubekanga phansi inyama yakho, futhi uqhubeke uhamba ngemuva kwenyama, unendaba nokuthi abanye abantu bacabangani ngawe ngoba kuyakuthinta. Ngakho-ke, ekugcineni uzonqotshwa futhi uxegise nomhlaba.
Kodwa uma thanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ingqondo, umphefumulo namandla futhi ubeke inyama yakho futhi uhambe ngokulandela uMoya, khona-ke ngeke kukuthinte, ngoba inyama yenu ifile. Awumangali ukuthi izwe likuzonda ngoba uJesu wakuxwayisa (Funda futhi: Bala izindleko).
Nokho, ngeke uvumele lokho kukuvimbele ukukhuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi uqhubeke ushumayela ivangeli likaJesu Kristu emhlabeni. Ngeke uyeke ukushumayela nokumisa uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kulo mhlaba.
Ngokuphambene nalokho! Niyoqhubeka futhi niqhubeke nilandela iZwi noMoya futhi ngenxa yalokho niyoqhubeka nihamba eqinisweni nasothandweni lukaNkulunkulu.
Ungahlangani nomhlaba. Akumele uzame kanzima ukuthandwa nokwamukeleka emhlabeni. Kodwa uyohlala uthembekile kuJesu futhi ume eZwini futhi ungachezuki emazwini kaNkulunkulu.
Inqobo nje uma uqhubeka uhamba uMoya neZwi ngakho-ke wenza imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, okungukuthi futhi Imiyalo kaJesu, ufakazela ukuthi uyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ingqondo, umphefumulo namandla.
Ubonisa ukuthi uthando lwakho ngoNkulunkulu luza kuqala ekuphileni kwakho, futhi ngenxa yalokho, uqhubeka uhamba ngokumlalela.
Uyasazi isizathu, kungani abantu, abangabezwe, ngiyakuzonda, kodwa aniyikunyakaziswa yilokho. Ngeke uhlanye noma uthukuthele ngoba awuhambi ngokulandela inyama ngakho-ke awuholwa imizwa nemizwa yakho.. Kunalokho, uzonyakaziswa nawe uzwelo kubo.
Izwe liyawazonda amaKristu, abalandela futhi benze iZwi
Ungamangali, Bazalwane bami, uma izwe linizonda. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren (1 UJohane 3:13-14)
The hearers of the Word shall not be hated, since they are no threat to the kingdom of darkness. Only the followers and doers of the Word, which means that you believe every word of God and do the words of God, lizazondwa yizwe, njengoJesu.
Ngobani? Because you testify by doing the truth and righteous works, that the works of the world are evil.
Look at Cain and Abel. Abel wasn’t killed by Cain because they had a disagreement or a fight. But Abel was killed because his works were righteous. The righteous works of Abel testified that the works of Cain were evil (Gen 21:41, 1 Okunguohano 3:12)
This also happened with Jesus. Jesus walked in the truth and did righteous works. That’s why He was hated by the world. Because by doing righteous works Jesus testified that the works of the world were evil.
The Light of the world
Jesus was the Light of the world and through Him, the evil works, which were hidden in darkness were brought into the light.
Amadodana kaDeveli, who were the workers of iniquity and belonged to the world, hated the Light and therefore they did everything they could to get rid of Jesus and eliminate the Light.
Okholwa kuYe akalahlwa: kodwa ongakholwayo uselahliwe, ngoba akakholelwa egameni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa. Futhi lokhu ukulahlwa, ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile emhlabeni, futhi abantu bathanda ubumnyama kulokukhanya, Ngoba izenzo zabo zazimbi. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya, futhi akezi ekukhanyeni, funa izenzo zakhe zisoshelwe. Kodwa owenza iqiniso uyeza ekukhanyeni, ukuthi izenzo zakhe zingenziwa zibonakaliswe, ukuthi zenziwa kuNkulunkulu (UJohane 3:18-21)
And just like Abel, abaprofethi, Jesus and the apostles, Lokhu kusenjalo. When Jesus Christ dwells in you and you walk after the will of Jesus and do what He has commanded you to do and walk in righteousness in the truth and the light, then the world shall hate you. Because your righteous works testify that the works fo the world (isono) ububi.
Jesus knew this and foretold His disciples. His disciples knew this and foretold their disciples. And we, as His disciples should know this and inform our disciples, so that the truth is revealed and the disciples will know what to expect and become spiritually resilient and are able to stand on the Word and don’t phika uJesu Kristu. Because whosoever shall deny Jesus, him/her will Jesus also deny before the Father (Mathewu 10:33, 2 UThimothewu 2:12)
