ILIZWI LOMTHANDAZO
Yidumiseni iNkosi uYesu! Nkosi, uyazichukumisa iintliziyo zabantu namhlanje kwaye usikhokelele kufutshane nesicwangciso sakho esigqibeleleyo kunye necebo elininzi onalo ngabantu bakho. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uza kubakhokelela kulonwabo olungakumbi, ulonwabo olungakumbi, Nkosi, kunye nokholo olusebenzayo lwentliziyo ezintliziyweni zabo apho zonke izinto ziyakwenzeka kubo xa bethandaza kwilixa esiphila kulo-- imisebenzi emikhulu . Ngokwenene uphakathi kwabantu bakowenu. Amen. Chukumisa abatsha apha ngale ntsasa, nabo beza apha ngalo lonke ixesha, makubasikelele kwaye nabo bathambise iNkosi. Siyakudumisa, Yesu. Mnike i-handclap!
Ndithathe ikhefu kancinci, kodwa akubonakali ngathi ndihambile kuba ndihlala ndikho apha, uyabona, ndithandaza ebusuku ndibuyele endlwini, ndifuna iNkosi ngezinto ezahlukeneyo. Bro. UFrisby wabelana ngobungqina beqabane elabhala lisuka kunxweme lwaseMpuma. Ubusika babubanda kakhulu kwaye amandla ayekhutshwa likhephu kunye nomkhenkce ogqithisileyo. Babengenayo indlela yokufudumeza indlu. Indoda yathandaza kunye namalaphu omthandazo yafunda uBro. Uncwadi lukaFrisby. INkosi ngokungummangaliso yayigcina indlu ishushu iintsuku ezintathu. Xa abantu abalungisa umbane beza, bothuswa bubushushu bendlu ngaphandle kokusebenzisa imbawula. Siyazi ukuba iminyaka izakuphela-yenza ukuba abantu bathandaze ngakumbi, babenze bafune ngakumbi iNkosi. Ngoku, siyazi ukuba ibandla lobuKristu lalakhiwe phezu komthandazo wokholo nelizwi likaThixo. Uyakukholelwa oko? Ngamanye amaxesha, abantu bayithatha nje iNkosi njengesiqhelo. Ngelixa siphila kulo, kuyakubakho ukuthandaza okungakumbi. Ungumenzi wemimangaliso. Xa uthandaza, ngesenzo sokholo, uhlala eshukuma.
Xa uPawulos wayekhwele isikhephe kwindlela eya eRoma, kwabakho inkathazo elwandle; Esinye sezaqhwithi esibi safika elwandle saza asavuma. Nangona uPawulos wayenesipho sokholo kunye nemimangaliso, ngeli xesha waya kuthandaza nokuzila ukutya kwaye waqala ukufuna uThixo ngobomi babanye ababesenqanaweni. Unokuba nesipho semimangaliso kwaye uthandazele abantu, kodwa xa uthandazela abalahlekileyo, kuya kufuneka uthandaze. Amen. Yiloo nto kanye awayenzayo uPawulos. Nangona la mpostile mkhulu wayenamandla amakhulu, uThixo akazange awasebenzise [ngelo xesha], kwafuneka ukuba angene emthandazweni nasekuzileni. Emva koko oko kukhanya kukhulu, iNgelosi yeNkosi, oku kuKhanya kuyimfihlakalo kwavela kuPaul kwaye wathi kuye, "Yomelela kakhulu." Uyabona, emva kweentsuku ezilishumi elinesine-wababeka [amadoda asenqanaweni] emthandazweni kwaye babekulungele ukuthandaza-kuba wayebalumkisile ngaphambili kwaye zange bamphulaphule. Ke, wabaxelela ukuba bathandaze. Bashiye ukutya baqala ukuthandaza u Thixo wenza ummangaliso. UPawulos wema phambi kwabo wathi, "Akukho mntu uzokuhla kule nqanawa" -14 kunye nento ethile, kwaye akukho namnye kubo owehlayo. Bonke basindiswa. Uthe inqanawa iyakuqhekeka kuba uThixo wayenalo elinye ishishini kwisiqithi. Ke, apho waya kuthandaza rhoqo nangona wayenxibe amandla amakhulu. Kodwa ulwazi nobulumko bamxelela into amakayenze. Emva koko baphoswa kwisiqithi kwaye isipho semimangaliso saqala ukusebenza. Abantu esiqithini baphiliswa; uninzi lwabo lwalugula. Ke uThixo wayaphula inqanawe, wabeka uPawulos esiqithini, wabaphilisa bonke emva koko waya eRoma. Ungatsho ukuba mayidunyiswe iNkosi?
Ke abo babesenqanaweni basindiswa kwaye abo bakwesi siqithi baphiliswa. Ngoba? Kuba uThixo wayenomntu owayekwazi ukuthandaza- umntu owayenolwazi nobulumko bukaThixo- kwaye bayokusebenza.
Ndinayo le ntshumayelo okwexeshana, kodwa into endifuna ukuyenza kukushumayela ngayo namhlanje kuba kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba rhoqo emva kwethuba, ngaphandle koko, sishumayele ngokholo, kufuneka sishumayele koku. Amandla ombane emthandazweni kunye nevolthi kumthandazo nokuzila ukutya: lawo ngamandla ombane. Ungatsho ukuba mayidunyiswe iNkosi? Umxholo wethu namhlanje ikakhulu umthandazo. Ngenye imini — abanye abantu bafuna ukuba ndishumayele ngokuzila ukutya. Ibhayibhile ithi uYesu wakhokelelwa ngokuzila ukutya okude, kodwa abantu ngamanye amaxesha bafuna ukuzila okufutshane kwaye ukuba bakhokelwa kukuzila ixesha elide – lelo lishishini labo. Kodwa kufuneka ifundiswe ngokufanelekileyo kwaye kufuneka ifundiswe ebantwini. Ayinguye wonke umntu onokuyenza le nto [ngokukhawuleza okukhulu] okanye afuna ukuyenza. Kodwa ekupheleni kweminyaka yobudala — xa ndandisemthandazweni, iNkosi yandityhilela into malunga nemvuselelo kwaye sizakuyifumana.
Abanye abantu, ezingqondweni zabo, bafuna ukunciphisa uThixo kwinqanaba lomntu xa bethandaza. Abakwazi ukufikelela kwisiseko sokuqala. Kuphantse ukuba kububudenge ukubukela iicawa zale mihla zinciphisa uKristu ukusuka kuThixo ukuya emntwini okanye emntwini emva koko azame ukuthandaza kuYe. Khumbula xa uYesu wayesemkhombeni, wayeka uqhwithela kwaye kwangoko isikhephe saba semhlabeni kwenye indawo; okwangoku, Wayesadala iiplanethi kwindalo iphela. Ungaphezulu komntu. Yindoda enjani le! UnguThixo-Indoda. Bangaphi kuni abanokuthi, Amen? Ungaze umnciphise kule nto ayiyo. Uva yonke into oyithethayo, kodwa emva koko, ajongise intloko yakhe kuwe. Menze abe yile nto ayiyo. NguSomandla, Oyena Mkhulu, impendulo yomthandazo. Ibhayibhile ithi akunakwenzeka ukukholisa uThixo ngaphandle kokholo kwaye ungumvuzi wabo bamfuna ngenyameko. Sifumanisa ukuba uAdam noEva baphulukana nolawulo egadini. Kodwa uYesu wabuya emva kweentsuku ezingama-40 zokuzila nokuthandaza, wabuyisela ubukhosi emntwini. Ubuyisele la mandla emva koko waya emnqamlezweni wagqiba umsebenzi. Wabuya wazuza la mandla aphulukana noAdam no-Edeni egadini kuluntu. Yenzelwe wena. Unikwe lona. Uyakholwa ngenene yiloo ntsasa?
INkosi yandityhilela esiprofetweni-njengokuba iminyaka igqityiwe, amaKristu kwihlabathi liphela aya kuqala ukuzila nokuthandaza. Baya kuqala ukufuna uNdikhoyo. Uya kuhamba ezintliziyweni zabo. Uthetha ngemvuselelo; Uza kuhamba ngenkuthalo kwimvuselelo kuba uyityhilile ndabona into eyenzekayo. Uza kuhamba ngohlobo lokuba uninzi lwabo luzakuzila kwaye luthandaze. Iyakuba sezintliziyweni zabo kwaye sizakuba nemvuselelo eza kuza kubanyulwa bakaThixo. Iya kuba nkulu kwaye ibe namandla. Inokude incede ezinye zezidenge; Izinto ezininzi zizakwenzeka kwinkonzo engaphaya kwendalo kunye neziphiwo namandla eNkosi aya kuza kubantu baKhe. Uyabalungiselela kwaye uyabalungiselela apho. Abanye abantu bathi, “Ngaba kuyanceda na ukuthandaza? Kunceda ngantoni ukuthandaza? Umntu othile wakuthandazela okanye ubungayi kuba lapha namhlanje. UYesu usoloko esibongoza. Xa bethandaza befuna uThixo ezintliziyweni zabo njengoko bendithetha ngexesha eladlulayo, uya kuphendula ngomlilo nangamandla kunye nohlangulo lwenene.
Kulunge ntoni ukuthandaza? Siza kufumana lo mbandela. Umthandazo ubalulekile empilweni. Kubalulekile kwimimangaliso. Iyakutyhala umva iinqaba zikaSathana. Iya kukubeka kwisiseko esomeleleyo. Sifumana kwibhayibhile ukuba ngaxesha lithile uEliya, umprofeti-uEliya omtsha-uEliya omdala wayenze imimangaliso emikhulu. Ubomi bakhe babukokufuna iNkosi ngalo lonke ixesha. Iingelosi zazingeyonto intsha kuye. Wema uIzebhele, wabhukuqa izithixo zikaBhali, wabulala nabaprofeti. Emva koko wabalekela entlango kuba uIzebhele wayesongela ukumbulala. UNdikhoyo wabonakala kuye, wamphekela ukutya. Wahamba iintsuku ezingama-40 ngamandla eso sidlo sinye. Ukufika kukaEliya eHorebhe, kwakuboniswa umbane macala onke. Emqolombeni, bekukho umlilo, amandla, inyikima nomoya; yayingumboniso wombane wamandla owoyikekayo. Kwabe kukho ilizwi elincinci elithule apho. Kodwa waya emandleni omthandazo, iintsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku obungama-40, ukusuka kweso sidlo sinye. Akazange abaleke nakubani na. Wade wangena enqwelweni yomlilo. Uyabona, amandla amabini eza kuye. Nangona, wayesele engumprofeti weNkosi omkhulu; emva koko, akazange aphinde afane. Uya kukhetha umntu oza kungena ezihlangwini zakhe, athabathe amanzi abuye awele. Kwakungekho ngxabano ngayo yonke loo nto. Kwakungekho loyiko. Ungene nje enqwelweni wathi, “Masambe. Kufuneka ndidibane noYesu. ” Wadibana [noYesu] kwiminyaka emininzi kamva xa wabonakala ekwenziwa kumila kumbi kunye noMoses. Lihle, akunjalo? Uyabona; Ubungakanani bexesha, uyenza njani uThixo yonke loo nto. Kuye, yayingumzuzwana nje wexesha ngaphambi kokuba abone uYesu.
UYesu wayesoloko elungiselela. Waqala ubulungiseleli bakhe ngeentsuku ezingama-40 zokuzila ukutya. Uyabuza, “Kwakutheni ukuze enze yonke loo nto ukuba wayenamandla angaphezu kwendalo? Wayengumzekelo wokugqibela kuluntu. Wayesityhilela kuphela into emasiyenze kunye nabaprofeti ukuba wayengengcono kunayo nayiphi na ayakubiza; Wayeza kuma uvavanyo kunye nabo. Akazange axelele uMosisi ukuba ahambe iintsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku bazo, Akazange axelele uPaul ukuba enze oko kuzila ukutya okanye uEliya azile iintsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku bazo, kodwa yena ngokwakhe, wayengakulungelanga oko, akunjalo? Wayengumzekelo obalaseleyo kwibandla lakhe nakubantu baKhe. Ayinguye wonke umntu obizelwe ukuba ahambe ixesha elide. Ndiyayazi loo nto kwaye ayingomba wam ngale ntsasa. Kodwa kuya kukunceda ubone umbane kumandla awayenawo uEliya. Into endizama ukuyithetha kukuba xa uEliya wangena kuloo mqolomba emva kweentsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku [bokuzila ukutya], kwabakho i-voltage emoyeni. Yayingumboniso wezinto ezazimngqongile. UThixo ngokwenene. Iintsuku nobusuku obumashumi amane, xa [uYesu] waqala ubufundisi Bakhe — Wayethandaza entlango — kwaye wabhaptizwa (Luka 3: 21-23). Waqala usuku ngalunye ngomthandazo kwaye emva kokulungiselela izihlwele, wemka waya entlango wathandaza. Xa esiya kuthi shwaka emke anyamalale, ikwangumzekelo wokuba xa umlungiseleli efuna uThixo yedwa okanye abe yedwa-yimizekelo yonke leyo. Amanye amadoda ebaleni, ukuba ebemamele, amanye awo ngewayengayishiyanga intsimi. Abayi esihogweni ngenxa yayo, kodwa ngebabezokwazi ukuzipha ixesha ngokwabo bhetele kwaye babe nenkonzo engcono. Abanye baba bantu bade bafa ngenxa yokuba beyigqwesa imizimba yabo ngenxa yeNkosi uYesu Krestu.
Sibona kwibhayibhile, emva kokulungiselela isihlwele, wemka. Xa abaFarisi babefuna ukumbulala, waya entabeni, wathandaza ubusuku bonke (Luka 6: 11-12). Kwakutheni ukuze abaFarisi bafune ukumbulala xa wayethandaza ubusuku bonke? Wayengazithandazeli. Wayethandazela abaFarisi kunye nabantwana babo kunye nabo bantwana ukuba ngenye imini babalekele ku-Adolph (Hitler). Bangaphi kuni abanokuthi uThixo uyayazi into ayenzayo? Wayithandazela loo mbewu ubusuku bonke kuba wayesifundisa umzekelo malunga neentshaba zethu nento emasiyenze. Bathandazele kwaye uThixo uya kukwenzela into. Sathi ke isihlwele samthabatha ngenkani sazama ukumenza ukumkani, wenza ntoni Yena? Wemka kubo ngelo xesha kuba yonke into ibimiselwe ukuba ayenze. Wayesele enguKumkani. Wathandazela uPetros xa wayesele eza kusilela (Mateyu 14: 23). Xa ubona umntu oza kusilela, qala ukubathandazela. Musa ukubabetha bonke phantsi. Ndiyakholelwa oko ngentliziyo yam yonke. Ngaphandle kokuba, kungale ndlela yokuba unesiphiwo kwaye kufuneka uthethe into exelelwa yiNkosi-xa umntu enikelwe-ngandlela thile, uyangenelela uMoya oyiNgcwele. Ngaphandle koko, ncedani abazalwana ngako konke eninako ngomthandazo. Wathandaza ngelixa wayefumana amava okwenziwa kumila kumbi (Luka 9: 28-31). Wathandaza kwilixa lobunzima baKhe egadini yaseGetsemane. Xa ukule yure apho kubonakala ngathi akukho ncedo luvela komnye umntu- unokuba uwedwa ngelo xesha – ngeli lixa, yenza njengoYesu, fikelela phaya. Kukho Umntu othile apho. Lowo ngomnye umzekelo-ngeyure yentlekele egadini-ukuba iNkosi iyakunceda. Kwaye uYesu, ekugqibeleni, wathandazela iintshaba zakhe ngelixa wayesemnqamlezweni. Wayethandaza xa wangena kubulungiseleli-iintsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku bazo-engayeki. Sifumanise ukuba wayesathandaza emnqamlezweni xa wayephuma phaya. Sifumene kumaHebhere ukuba usasithandazela (7:25). Esinjani sona isiseko sebandla! Enjani yona indlela yokwakha kwecawa kwaye mandla mni na!
Xa uthandaza kwaye ufune iNkosi, kukho intambiso. Ngamanye amaxesha, ukuba ungena emoyeni wokuthandaza, nokuba ulele, uMoya oyiNgcwele usathandaza. Kukho indawo engazi nto engqondweni yakho esele ikufikelela. Abanye abantu abaze bangene kumoya wokuthandaza kwaye abafikeleli kuThixo ukuba abenzele imimangaliso. Ngokuqinisekileyo ikhona indlela onokumfuna ngayo uThixo apho emva kokuba ugqibe, iya kuqhubeka entliziyweni yakho. Ndiyayazi le nto ndithetha ngayo. Uya kuyenza loo nto. Xa uthandaza kwaye ufuna iNkosi yonke imihla, ke xa uthetha naxa ucela into, yamkele nje. Sele uyithandazile. Kukho into ngaphandle kokubuza xa uthandaza. Umthandazo ngokwenyani wenziwe kukunqula iNkosi kwaye ube nombulelo kuyo. Uthe thandazela ukuba ubukumkani bakho bufike; ukuba ubukumkani baKhe buza kuza, hayi obethu. Wayalela icawe ukuba ithandaze kwaye kufuneka kubekho ixesha apho umntu ngamnye kufuneka athandaze kwaye afune iNkosi ingekapheli. Mamela kule-nasi isicatshulwa endisifumene kwenye indawo: “Abantu abaninzi zange izibonelelo zokwenyani zomthandazo kuba abanasicwangciso sithandazayo. Benza yonke enye into kuqala kwaye emva koko ukuba banexesha eliseleyo, bayathandaza. Ngokwesiqhelo, usathana uyaqinisekisa ukuba abanalo ixesha eliseleyo. ” Ndavakalelwa kukuba bubulumko bokwenyani apho.
Ibandla lokuqala lalibeka ixesha lokuthandaza (Izenzo 3: 1). Ngesinye isihlandlo, baphilisa umntu othile owayesendleleni eya emthandazweni [etempileni]. UPetros noYohane baya etempileni kunye ngexesha lomthandazo malunga nelixa lesithoba. Wonke umntu okholwayo oza kwenza impumelelo yokuthandaza kufuneka abeke iyure yomthandazo rhoqo. Kufuneka ube nexesha elithile elibekelwe bucala. Kukho ezinye iindlela ngelixa usebenza ukuze uthandaze. Kodwa kukho amaxesha okuba ube wedwa kunye noThixo. Ndiva ukuba kwimvuselelo enkulu eza kuthunyelwa yiNkosi kubantu baYo, kuyakubakho amandla amakhulu - inyhweba evela kuMoya oyiNgcwele- efuna ukubamba ngohlobo lokuba abantu babekho umthandazo ekufikeni kwenguqulelo. Ndiyakholelwa ekubeni baya kuba ngendlela abanokucela ngayo kwaye baya kufumana. Uyazi; uhlala ebhayibhileni, xa kusenziwa imimangaliso emikhulu, umntu ebesele ethandazile. Xa kufika uvavanyo Bona; uyathandaza, uyanqula, uyamdumisa uThixo, yakha amandla ombane ngaphakathi kwakho kunye namandla amakhulu xa uzila ukutya, oku kukwibhayibhile. Kuxhomekeke ebantwini ukwenza loo nto [umthandazo nokuzila ukutya]. kuDaniel, wayesele ethandazile. Xa uvavanyo lwafika kubantwana abathathu abangamaHebhere, babesele bethandazile. Kodwa uyakha, uyakha amandla. Ke xa usiza ukuthandazela, kufana nombane. Ushukumisa iziqalelo kwaye uThixo uyakuchukumisa umzimba wakho, kwaye iNkosi iya kukuphilisa. Amaxesha amaninzi xa ndithandaza, ndize apha, ndithandazela abantu, baya kuqala ukungena kuloo ndawo kwaye ndithetha ukuba igcwele ukholo, kwaye izele ngamandla. Sisityhilelo. Ngumlinganiso wokuba uThixo uza kuza aguqulele abantu baKhe. Siza kungena kuloo nto.
Akukho sithatha indawo somthandazo ocwangcisiweyo. Ukuba ufuna into ikhule, kuya kufuneka uyinkcenkceshele. Ungathi, Amen? Abo banomthandazo ocwangcisiweyo, ubuncwane bezulu bakwimfonomfono yabo - kusefowunini yayo nayiphi na indoda okanye umfazi ofunda indlela yokungena ngobuso beNkosi ngomthandazo. UPawulos wafumana ubulungiseleli bakhe emva kokumfanyekiswa kweentsuku ezintathu engenanto yokutya kwaphela. Wafumana ulungiselelo olukhulu eNkosini. INkosi yayimbizile, yathi, “Ungachukumisi nto de bakuthandazele” —ukuze ayamkele intliziyo yakhe kuYehova. Sifumana kwimeko nganye kwibhayibhile apho kwenziwa khona izinto ezinkulu, ukuhlangulwa okukhulu, umthandazo nokuzila ukutya, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, umthandazo wawusenzeka ngaphambi komsitho. Abanye abantu bathandaza kanye ngexesha abafuna into ngalo. Bekufanele ukuba bathandazisiwe. Ke xa bacela, baya kwamkela. Wenza ntoni umthandazo? Kuya kwenza ntoni ngokholo? INkosi ingumvuzi wabo bayifunayo ngenkuthalo. Umthandazo unika umntu amandla ngaphezulu kweedemon. Abanye bebengayi kuphuma ngaphandle kokuba kudityaniswe nokuzila (uMateyu 17:21). Yiyo loo nto kubulungiseleli, ukuza kuthi ga kwinqanaba lam, xa umntu enokholo oluncinci okanye umntu othile ezisa umntu-ndiyibonile impambano iphiliswa. Sele ndiyifunayo ke iNkosi. Amandla akho kubo, kodwa kufuneka babe nokholo. Ndibonile abantu abaninzi abaphambeneyo baphiliswa eCalifornia kwaye kufuneka ize ngamandla ombane, amandla amakhulu okanye [iidemon] zingashiyi. Umthandazo uwedwa awuyi kuyenza. Kufuneka ivele kubulungiseleli obuthanjisiweyo obuvela kuThixo.
Umthandazo nokuthethelela kukhusela ukusindiswa kwabalahlekileyo (Mateyu 9: 28). Bangaphi kuni abayikholelwayo loo nto? Uthi, “Ndiyakuthandazela ntoni?” Uthandazela ukuba iNkosi ithumele abasebenzi ekuvuneni. Ude uthandazele neentshaba zakho. Kufuneka uthandaze ukuba ubukumkani bakho bufike. Kufuneka uthandazele ukuthululwa kweNkosi. Kufuneka ubeke intliziyo yakho ukuthandazela ukuhlangulwa kwabalahlekileyo kunye nokuphiliswa kwabalahlekileyo. Ngomthandazo ocwangcisiweyo kunye rhoqo, uya kuba ngumntu omtsha eNkosini. Ndiyakholelwa kumaxesha amaninzi kuba kukho isipho esingaphaya kwendalo kunye namandla eNkosi ekuhlanguleni abantu, bayishiya ngokupheleleyo inkonzo, kodwa bona ngokwabo kufuneka bathandaze. Kulula kakhulu. Uthi, "Wazi njani?" Wathetha nam amaxesha amaninzi. Kwaye xa unokuhamba nje ungene kuyo, kulungile ukuba uyafuna ukuyenza loo nto, unokufumana nje ukuphiliswa kwakho. Kodwa uthini malunga nezinto ezizezakho ozifuna kuThixo, into oyithandazelayo, ngokwakho? Ungathini ngobomi bakho basemoyeni kwaye uthini ngamandla owafunayo avela eNkosini? Ungathini ngaleyo ufuna ukuyithandazela kubukumkani bukaThixo kunye nezo ufuna zisiwe ngomthandazo wakho? Ungathini ngabanye onokubanceda kwimithandazo yakho? Abantu abayicingi loo nto, kodwa okoko nje kukho isipho samandla, amaxesha amaninzi, bayeke ezinye izinto zihambe. Siyazi ukuba kwincwadi yeZenzo, nalapho kwakukho izipho ezininzi kunye nemimangaliso emininzi, abantu bafundiswa ukuthandaza ngeyure ethile. Ixesha elithe xaxa njengoko iNkosi isebenza nam, ndingathanda ukuba nabo bantu sinokubashiya apha ngamanye amaxesha, apho banokuza bangene emthandazweni. Siyayidinga loo nto. Ulungiselelo lwam, ngokuqinisekileyo, uThixo uyakulikhathalela. INkosi ishukuma; kodwa ufuna ukuqhubela phambili nabantu baKhe kwaye ufuna ukubasikelela. Uyazithandazela ngqo kuguqulelo, itsho iNkosi. Owu! Yiyo leyo!
Nje ukuba uqale rhoqo, nje ukuba ufumane inkqubo yokusebenza kunye neNkosi, emva koko xa ulele, qhubeka uthandaze. Uvuka nengelosi ngawe. UEliya wenjenjalo. Amen. Kuhle kakhulu. Khumbula emva kokuba ehambe iintsuku ezingama-40 emthandazweni nasekuzileni, wayenesibindi kwaye enamandla. Wamatsha wabuyela emva phaya kuAhabhi noIzebhele; baqalekise ngenxa yendoda abayibulele ngesidiliya sayo. Wamatsha waya ngaphandle wathatha owangena ezihlangwini zakhe. Wayengasoyiki. Wayekhona kwaye wenza loo nto, wangena enqwelweni wemka. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uThixo, esiphelweni sexesha, uyasilungiselela ukuze sihambe naye. Rhoqo, umthandazo ocwangcisiweyo uya kulindela kwaye uthintele intlekele (Mateyu 6: 13). Iya kunika isikhokelo esivela kuThixo kwiyure efunekayo (IMizekeliso 2: 5). Iya kubonelela ngokhuseleko kwezemali kwaye ihambise umthwalo ocinezela abantu abaninzi namhlanje. Ukuba ufunda ukuthandaza kwaye ucwangcisiwe ngento oyenzayo noThixo, iya kukusebenzela. Kujikeleze isipho samandla, kunye nomthandazo, zii-voltage nje, onke ombane onokuthi ulawule. Kwaye ndiyathandaza; Ndiye ndayifuna iNkosi amaxesha amaninzi kwaye bayazi ukuba uThixo unam. Ndihlala kanye nayo. Ngomhla woMgwebo-kwaye mna [iNkosi] bendizakuthi, "Ushumayela uzise apha ezantsi kwaye nabantu bayazi ukuba ngamandla kaThixo, kodwa kutheni bengahlali nawe phaya?" Kwaye wathi uhlobo lwabo lokuthambisa -Wathi “abathandazi, kananjalo abandifuni. Ke ngoko, abanakuhlala apha nam. ” Ukholo lwabo lusebenzela oko [ukuphilisa], kodwa akukho kunxibelelana rhoqo noThixo. Abahlali kufutshane noThixo ukuze bahlale ecaleni kwamandla kaThixo. Kodwa kuyeza intshukumo kunye notshintsho phakathi kwabantu bakaThixo kwaye uzakubasikelela.
Abo bangayithatha le ntshumayelo ezintliziyweni zabo namhlanje-ukuba abanako nokufumana iyure yokuthandaza, kodwa banokufumana naliphi na ixesha, ngokulandelelana, ixesha ngalinye bethandaza nokuba bavuke okanye bayolala okanye nokuba yeyiphi-ukuba Baza kumisela nje ixesha elithile njengesenzo sokholo, baya kusikelelwa kwaye bavuzwe. Uthe funa uzakufumana. Oko kuthetha ukuba ngalo lonke ixesha ubekela bucala ukumfuna entliziyweni yakho. Xa ugqiba ngokumfuna entliziyweni yakho yonke imihla, nokuba kuyintoni — abo baphulaphulayo namhlanje, iNkosi indixelele ukuba iyakusikelelwa. Ayisiyiyo na le nto yokubanjwa ngesandla kukaThixo endixelela ukuba ndize ndize kuthetha loo nto? Kufuneka ubeke intliziyo yakho. Okukhona usete intliziyo yakho kuThixo, kokukhona ukholelwa entliziyweni yakho, emva koko iqala ukuza kuwe. Uzibuthe kuloo nto emva koko uqale ukuthetha kwaye izinto ziqala ukwenzeka. Ndizama ukukubonisa ukuba kutheni kuye kwakho ukusilela kwaye kutheni abanye benu bengayifumananga le nto beniyifuna. Kuya kufuneka ucwangcise; Kufuneka ube neyure yexesha kunye noThixo kwaye kufuneka ukholelwe iNkosi. Ndiyakholelwa oku ngentliziyo yam yonke. Uya kumangaliswa yinto eyakwenzeka esiphelweni sobudala. Abo bamamela le khasethi phesheya kolwandle nakuyo yonke indawo, bathandaza kancinci phaya kwaye kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kuluhlu lwam, kwaye kwenzeka imimangaliso, izinto ziyenzeka kubo. Kwaye ngaphandle kwekhasethi-oku kuya ebantwini abazokuyimamela kwaye baya kuqala ukuthandaza. Ndizakufumana iileta ezisuka apha kwaye ndinokuxelela ngamandla eNkosi ngaphakathi kwam, ndiza kufumana iileta ezivela kule khasethi kwaye baya kundixelela ngezinto uThixo azenzele zona. Uyabona, sizama ukufikelela apha, hayi apha kuphela; Siza kunceda bonke abantu abafuna ukumamela ilizwi leNkosi. Ndiyakholelwa oko ngentliziyo yam yonke.
Umthandazo wokholo uya kuzisa ukuphilisa xa yonke enye into isilele. Oogqirha bayasilela kwaye iyeza liyasilela. Apho yonke enye into isilela khona, umthandazo uza kuzisa impiliso. UHezekiya, xa kwakungekho themba-nkqu nomprofeti wathi akukho themba, zilungiselele ukufa. Wajikela eludongeni, wafuna uNdikhoyo ngomthandazo. Wakholelwa kuThixo ngomthandazo. Kweneke ntoni? INkosi yawuguqula umjikelo, yabuyisela ubomi bayo kwaye yongeza iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu ebomini bayo. Xa konke okunye kusilele, umthandazo kunye nokholo kuyakuzisa inkululeko. Ukubona ezi zithembiso zininzi zemivuzo kwabo bathandazayo, kuyinto ebuhlungu abantu abaninzi bakwimeko yoxinzelelo lwasemoyeni, ngaphandle koloyiso, naphantsi kokuphelelwa lithemba. Ithini impendulo kule nto? Impendulo kukuba abantu kufuneka beze kwisigqibo ebomini babo ukuze benze umthandazo ube lishishini. UDaniel, umprofeti, kuwo onke amadoda ebhayibhile owabonayo, wayenecebo elicwangcisiweyo, ibhayibhile yayikhupha. Isixelele nokuba kathathu ngemini, ujonge ngandlela ithile [kwicala], wajonga apho wathandaza. Wenza umthandazo ishishini. Lo mprofeti wayichukumisa intliziyo kaThixo kangangokuba xa iingelosi zazibonakala kuye, zathi, “Uthandwa kakhulu.” Uqhelekile, mfana omdala! Ungathi, mbonge uYehova? Sifumene kubulungiseleli bukaKristu obungumzekelo kwaye uPawulos wathi landela le ndiyenzayo, nam. Ngalo lonke ixesha, babenexesha eliqhelekileyo. Nokuba ngubani oza okanye bangaphi abaza kuthandazelwa okanye nokuba bekuyintoni na, babeneloxesha lomthandazo. Ndinomkhwa ofanayo. Nokuba kwenzeka ntoni okanye kwenzeka ntoni macala onke kum, andikhathali nokuba kwenzeka ntoni. Kubonakala ngathi ngexesha elithile, ndivele ndilahleke ndawo kwaye ndilapha [eCapstone Cathedral] ebusuku ndithandaza nakwigumbi lam endlini. Ngumkhwa onjalo kwaye kuba lula. Uyakwazo oko? Iba nje-awunangxaki yokuya etafileni [uyokutya], andibi kunjalo? Mfana, bekungaba kuhle ukuba uthandaze kangangeyure ngaphambi kokuba ufumane nento yokutya. Mfana, siya kuba nelona bandla likhulu ehlabathini! Ungathi, Amen?
Lo myalezo ndiwunikwe nguThixo, andikhange ndihambe ndizile ukutya ngeli xesha. Andizukuyitsho le ukuba ndiyenzile. Ndiyenza ngalo lonke ixesha ndifuna kwaye ukuba inde kakhulu, uya kuyibona. Into endiyenzileyo kukuthandaza ndikhangele uThixo kwizinto ezininzi, ezinye zazo ndizichukumisile namhlanje kancinci. Kodwa ndiyayazi le nto: asithethi nje apha. Into endithetha ngayo libandla elikhethiweyo, icawe yoThixo ophilileyo kuwo wonke umhlaba. UThixo uzakuphakamisa umgangatho, kodwa akazukuwuphakamisa de kube umthandazo uqale ukuhamba phakathi kwabantu. Ukuba unexesha elichanekileyo njengokuba usiya etafileni, ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba kuyakusebenza. UDaniel wathandaza kathathu ngemini kwaye ingelosi yathi uyathandwa kakhulu. Wasindisa isizwe, 'yabona? Kufuneka ube nomntu othembekileyo. Kule mvuselelo, kufuneka uthembeke kwaye emva kokuba uthandazile, kufuneka uthathe amanyathelo. Awuthandazi nje, kufuneka wenze. Kufuneka ubeke imilenze emthandazweni wakho. Uyabona; INkosi inendlela yokukunceda. Kubomi bomntu ngamnye, unepatheni kunye nesicwangciso. Awuzalwanga ngelize. Xa ukufumanisa ngokwenyani ukuthanda kukaThixo kwaye ufunda entliziyweni yakho eso sicwangciso, ngenene kukho uvuyo olungathethekiyo [olungathethekiyo]. Abantu abaza apha, ukuba baya kuqhubeka bethandaza ezintliziyweni zabo, baya kuqala ukubona ulungiselelo-into eyenziwa nguThixo kuyo yonke indawo kunye nento eyakwenzeka kubukumkani bukaThixo.
Kukho isibhalo esithi sukuba nexhala, kodwa ngomthandazo nesicelo, zazisa izicelo zakho kuThixo. Inye kuphela indlela apha emhlabeni onokungazixhalabisi ngayo, kungokuthandaza, ukunikela nokubulela kuThixo. UYesu wathi phosa umthwalo wakho phezu kwam kuba ndikukhathalele. Uthe funda kum, idyokhwe yam ilula. Ngoku, uyabona ukuba le ntshumayelo imalunga nantoni? Abanye abantu banokuthi, "Umthandazo: yinto enzima leyo enyameni." Kodwa ekuhambeni kwexesha, ngowona mthwalo mncinci wakha wawuthwala. INkosi yathi isizathu sokuba ube nemithwalo emininzi kukuba khange uthwale idyokhwe yakhe. Ngaba uyazi ukuba idyokhwe yinto obeka ecaleni kwakho kwaye uyitsale? Ke ngoko, bonke abanyuliweyo kunye bakwidyokhwe kaThixo kunye nolungiselelo lweNkosi, kwaye bayatsala kunye. Yiloo nto idyokhwe. Uthe phosa umthwalo wakho phezu kwam kwaye into endizakukunika yona yidyokhwe ukuze ukwazi ukudlula kuyo. Kwaye utsala ubunye, utsala ngokholo, utsala ngamandla kwaye uThixo uya kuyisikelela intliziyo yakho. Nantso into ezayo ekupheleni komhlaba. Ndingathanda ukuba nomthwalo wokuthandaza-kwaye kube lula-kunokuba ungathandazi kwaphela kwaye ungene kwimeko apho ubethwe khona ngokupheleleyo. Ungathi, Amen? Iyahlawula ke.
Njengoko benditshilo, uMpostile uPawulosi wayenesipho semimangaliso kunye nesipho sokholo. Amadoda amaninzi ebhayibhileni ayenesipho sokholo kunye nesipho semimangaliso. Kodwa kukho ixesha apho babengayisebenzisi loo nto. UThixo akavumeli ukuba isetyenziswe. Kwakukho ixesha apho umthandazo wawusetyenziswa kwaye emva koko, kwakungakholeleki. Ndiyazi entliziyweni yam kwaye ndiya kuhlala ndikholelwa entliziyweni yam ukuba kukho into emangalisayo kubantu bakaThixo. Kodwa abo baleleyo kwaye abo baye bayeka ukumamela olu hlobo lomyalezo baya kunikwa inkohliso. Undixelele. Baya kunikwa inkohliso kwaye akukho ndlela kwihlabathi apho uya kuba nakho ukuthetha nabo. Uya kuvakala ngathi uphambene kubo nokuba ungoyena mntu ugqibeleleyo ngengqondo. Uthi, “Angayenza njani lonto?” Jonga into awayenzayo kuNebhukadenetsare.
Xa uthandaza, zininzi izinto onokuzithandazela. Ukuba uza kuthandaza imizuzu elishumi elinesihlanu ngexesha elinye kunye nemizuzu elishumi elinesihlanu ngelinye ixesha, kulungile. Zama ukufumana ixesha eliqhelekileyo layo [umthandazo] kwaye uyakusikelela ngenene intliziyo yakho. Oku kukuphela kwexesha ngokupheleleyo. Ngexesha elithile ekupheleni kweminyaka, kuya kufuneka uthandaze, kuba uzakubeka umoya wokuthandaza kwabanyuliweyo. Uthetha ngemvuselelo kunye nazo zonke izinto ezihamba nayo kunye nezibonelelo, baya kuba lapha, itsho iNkosi. Lowo umamela lo myalezo ungaphezulu kwendoda esisilumko kuba uThixo uya kuyisikelela. Ndiyayikholelwa lo nto. Yintoni enye enokuba ngaphezulu kwendoda esisilumko? Kuya kuba ngabanyulwa bakaThixo abaya kuyenza loo nto [thandaza]. Iyakuba ngumoya womprofeti. Ingayinto ethile ukuba unokulandela kwaye wenze ngokuthethwa apha namhlanje. Ndiyakholelwa koku: uyakuba sempilweni, ube sisityebi kwaye ube sisilumko ukuba ungahamba njalo. Uyakholwa yiloo nto? Ndiyayikholelwa nyani. Siyabona, ngamanye amaxesha, kutheni kukho ukusilela. Kutheni kukho ukusilela kwabanye abantu? Singabuyela umva kanye. Khumbula, ukuba ufuna into ikhule, kuya kufuneka uyinkcenkceshele. Awunakho nje ukuphosa umbhobho wamanzi apho kwaye ubuye emva kweveki. Andazi ukuba kutheni izakubuyela kum ukuzothetha ngale nto ngoku. Ndandinemithi emine emihle, emihle ngasemva kwendlu — iinyembezi zomngcunube. Kwafuneka uwagcinele amanzi. Ndandinomnqamlezo kwaye ngexesha lomnqamlezo-umgcini webala akakuqondanga oko ndikuthethileyo- le ayiyonto inxamnye naye, inokwenzeka nakubani na. Ndathi kuye, “Sizakubamba umlo. Ndiyazi ukuba uza kuyinkcenkceshela imithi, kutheni ungasuki nje yonke imihla? Andikhumbuli ukuba ndathini. Wayecinga ukuba andifuni ukuba eze apha endlini ngexesha lentlanganiso. Mhlawumbi wayecinga ukuba ndiza kuthandaza okanye enye into. Ke wemka. Yonke loo mithi yafa. Njengabantu bakaThixo ukuba abathandazi bafuna iNkosi. Ekupheleni kwalo myalezo-andizange ndikholelwe ebomini bam ukuba oku kuya kubuya emva kwayo yonke loo minyaka. Bona; NguThixo ozisa inqaku, uyazi ukuba?
Nanku Esiza: Elowo kuthi kuthiwa ngumthi wobulungisa kwaye sityalwe ngamanzi kwaye kufuneka sivelise iziqhamo ngexesha elifanelekileyo. Ukuba awunamanzi, awuyi kuvelisa iziqhamo. Thina sityala iNkosi, yimithi yobulungisa. Ekupheleni kweminyaka, ibhayibhile ithi baya kuchuma. Ukuba ungumthi wobulungisa, ezi nkonzo ziya kukunceda ngokwenene, kodwa kufuneka uthandaze nawe. Ufuna la mandla ongezelelweyo ekupheleni kweminyaka. Bona; Umhlaba wonke uzakuthathwa sisilingo esinjalo kwaye ezo zono ziya kulizela ihlabathi liphela. Ilifu elinje ngazo zonke ezi zinto liza phezu kwabantu kunye nenkohliso enamandla. Abanye benu bazakuthi, “Owu, andizukuba yinxalenye yalonto. Ayizukwenzeka loo nto kum. ” Kodwa iyakuba njalo, ukuba awuthandazi. Ungathi, Amen? Sibizwa ngokuba yimithi yobulungisa. Ke ngoko, kufuneka sibankcenkceshele ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Xa ungankcenkcesheli, njengoko benditshilo kuwe, umthi uyoma kwaye ufe. Kufuneka uqhubeke unkcenkceshela. Oko kuthetha ngeendlela ezingaphezulu kokuthandaza. Kuya kufuneka ube nokholo, ukholwe kuThixo ngokholo, ungqine kwaye ukuba uThixo uhamba phezu kwakho kwaye ubona umntu othile, mzise ecaweni. Ndiziva kanjalo nam, njengokuba sisondela esiphelweni sexesha, ukuba umntu ngamnye kwesi sakhiwo-ndiyathandaza malunga naso-ukuba uThixo ashukumise entliziyweni yakho ukuba umntu othile angafuna ukuya ecaweni kunye nawe uze kubo.
Kubalulekile ukuba lo myalezo ufike ngeli xesha lilungileyo. Ngubani owaziyo ukuba abanye babaphathiswa apha kunye nabaya kulungiselelo banokufumana inkonzo eyomeleleyo kule nto kwaye bakwazi ukuthandazela abantu kwaye bafumane iziphumo ngamandla kaThixo? Ngamanye amaxesha, into abantu abayicingayo ngumyalezo oya nje kwabambalwa apha-abayiqondi into enokwenzeka-abantu bakhokelwa koku malunga nento emayenziwe. UYesu wamisela umzekelo. Into yokuqala awayenzayo yayikukufuna uThixo iintsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku bazo. Wajika, wamoyisa umtyholi-kubhaliwe-wasibonisa ukuba senze ntoni. Ndinabantu abafunde incwadi yam—Imimangaliso yokuYila-Abaphathiswa ababini, omnye uphesheya kolwandle, bayifundile incwadi kwaye bafumana ingqeshiso entsha evela eNkosini ukuba benze ntoni. Khumbula, xa ukholwa ngokwenene kwaye uthandaza entliziyweni yakho, kuya kubakho into eyenzekayo kuwe nakwabo bakungqongileyo. Ndineentshumayelo ezimbini kwenye apha. Bangaphi abafuna idyokhwe yeNkosi? Kukukhanya. Yindlela elula yokuphuma. Umthandazo awukho nzima kwaphela. Ibhayibhile ithi yeyona ndlela ilula yokuphuma kuba iza kukuhlangula. Siyimithi yobulungisa. Ke ngoko, masiwagcine amanzi ehamba. Khumbula ukubulela iNkosi. Xa udiniwe kukuthandaza, mbonge uYehova. Ke, xa ucela into, unokuyifumana. Uninzi lwazo zonke, umthandazo kunye nendumiso kuya kukugcina ugcwele ombane.
Ngamanye amaxesha, abantu abayazi indlela yokuthandaza. Bayishiya kumfundisi, bayishiya ecaweni — icawe yale mihla — bayishiya kwizalamane, bayishiyele le ke bayishiyele leyo. Abayiqondi. Makhe ndikuxelele into, kukho into ethile emthandazweni-umthandazo wokholo. Zimisele nje entliziyweni yakho kwaye kukho uBukho, kwaye kukho utshintsho oluza kuza kuwe. Kukho into kuyo. Ndiyakholelwa ngentliziyo yam yonke. Abo bafunda ukungena kumoya wokuthandaza [kwezi nkonzo nkqu] kwaye bafunde indlela yokwenza loo nto, ndiyakuxelela, yeyasezulwini. Amen. Andifuni mthwalo. Ndifuna idyokhwe. Ungathi, Amen? Injalo kanye loo nto. Siza kudibana kunye. Abantu bakaThixo kufuneka beve impembelelo kaMoya oyiNgcwele kunanini na ngaphambili. Ndifuna ukuba abantu bangene kolo hlobo u-Eliya angena ngalo phambi kokuwela iJordani. Kwakukho umoya womoya. Kwakukho ukungcangcazela komoya. Kwa into enye eza kubantu baKhe ngaphambi kokuba bemke apha neNkosi kuba yena [uEliya] ufuzisela inguqulelo, yatsho ibhayibhile. NoEnoki wenza njalo. Baye baguqulelwa kude.
Xa uThixo ethetha into eza kukunceda, usathana omdala uya kuzama ukuyithatha kuwe. Kodwa akangekhe, nangona kunjalo, ndiyakholelwa ukuba umthandazo wam uzakubamba entliziyweni yakho kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba iNkosi izakusikelela. Njengokuba abanye abantu beqala ukwenza into, besenzela iNkosi okuthile, uyazi ukuba uThixo ungumvuzi walonto? Ndiyakholelwa ukuba yonke into ayinikwe yiNkosi apha kusasanje ngulungiselelo lukaThixo. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba inento ebaluleke kakhulu kubantu baKhe. Bangaphi kuni abanokuthi, yidumiseni iNkosi? Lidumise igama lakho elingcwele, Ndiyakholelwa ukuba sele uphendula iintliziyo. Uphakamisa iintliziyo, Nkosi, kwaye usebenzela abantu bakho. Uyasebenza phakathi kwabantu bakho kwaye siyabulela ngento oza kuyenza. Uya kubasikelela abantu bakho ngoku. Nika iNkosi iqhina lesandla!
