Ukuhamba noThixo nokuphulaphula abaprofeti bakhe
UThixo wabiza uSamuweli esengumntwana noYeremiya kwasesizalweni sikanina ukuba abe ngabaprofeti bakhe. Ubudala bakho abunamsebenzi kwaphela kuThixo xa efuna ukuba umkhonze. Uyakuxelela into omawuyithethe okanye umenzele yona. Ubeka ilizwi lakhe emlonyeni wakho. Ngokutsho kuka-Amosi 3:7 , “Inene, ayikhe yenze into iNkosi uYehova, ingathanga iluhlakaze ucweyo lwayo kubakhonzi bayo abaprofeti.
UThixo uthetha nabakhonzi bakhe ngamaphupha, ngemibono, ngencoko ethe ngqo nabo, yaye uMoya oyiNgcwele uyabakhokela ukuba bakubeke ngamazwi abo. Kodwa kwezinye iimeko uThixo uthetha nabo ngokuthe ngqo njengobuso ngobuso ngamazwi yaye maxa wambi iba yintetho yabantu ababini, njengakwimeko kaMoses entlango; okanye uPawulos endleleni eya eDamasko. Kwakhona izibhalo lilizwi likaThixo elityhilwe kubaprofeti, njengo-Isaya 9: 6 owabakho emva kwamakhulu eminyaka. Ilizwi likaThixo kufuneka lenzeke, kungoko izibhalo zisithi, izulu nomhlaba ziya kudlula kodwa ingelilo ilizwi lam; UYesu Kristu watsho ku (Luka 21:33).
UThixo akenzi nto emhlabeni ngaphandle kokuba ayityhile kubakhonzi bakhe abaprofeti. Funda uAmosi 3:7; Yeremiya 25:11-12 noYeremiya 38:20 . Ilizwi likaThixo lityhila icebo likaThixo kumntu ngamnye wethu. KungoKrestu kuphela apho sinokuthi siguqule iingqondo zethu ukuze sibe nobudlelwane obuhle noThixo, sizazi izicwangciso zakhe, ezityhilwe kuthi ngezibhalo ezinikwe abakhonzi bakhe abaprofeti. Ukuthanda kwakhe kutyhilwe elizwini elikuphela kwegunya elaneleyo elongamileyo kulo lonke ikholwa, (2nd Ixesha. 3: 15-17). Kukho indlela yokuphila phantsi kwentambiso yesiprofeto. UYoshuwa noKalebhi bayenza phantsi koMoses. Balikholelwa ilizwi likaThixo ngomprofeti. Oko uThixo akutyhilayo kuthi, kuselizwini lakhe. Kungenxa yoko le nto INdumiso 138:2 isithi, “UThixo walikhulisa ilizwi lakhe ngaphezu kwamagama akhe onke.” Ilizwi lakhe walinika abakhonzi bakhe abaprofeti.
Khumbula uDaniyeli umprofeti kaThixo, owayethandwa kakhulu yiNkosi, ( Dan. 9:23 ). Wayeyinkwenkwana eneminyaka eli-10 ukusa kweli-14 xa bathinjelwa eBhabhiloni. Ngoxa wayekwelakwaYuda ngemihla kaYeremiya umprofeti weva ngesiprofeto sokuya ekuthinjweni eBhabhiloni iminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe. Bangaphi kuthi abakubudala neemeko ezifanayo abebenokunikela ingqalelo engakumbi okanye bade bawakhumbule amazwi anjalo esiprofeto. Abantu abaninzi kwaYuda abazange baye kuxhasa umprofeti uYeremiya xa wayevakalisa kubo ilizwi eliyinyaniso likaThixo. Malunga neminyaka emibini emva kwesiprofeto sikaYeremiya, ( Yeremiya 25:11-12 ). Kwaza kwafika iziganeko ezaphelela ekuthinjweni kwelakwaYuda lisiwa eBhabhiloni iminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe.
Namhlanje iziprofeto zabaprofeti nekaYesu Kristu ngokwakhe zisixelela ngenguqulelo, imbandezelo enkulu nezinye ezingakumbi. Kodwa ababaninzi abanikela ingqalelo. Ke umfana onguDaniyeli owayesekuthinjweni wala ukutya kokumkani waseBhabheli, esithi akayi kuzenza inqambi. Ulutsha olwalumazi uThixo. UYeremiya akazange aye nabo ekuthinjweni. UDaniyeli oselula wagcina amazwi kaThixo ngomprofeti uYeremiya entliziyweni yakhe waza wathandaza ecamngca ngawo ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-60. Akazange avumele ubabalo lookumkani baseBhabhiloni ukuba lumphembelele. Wayethandaza kathathu ngemini ejonge ngaseYerusalem. Wenza imisebenzi ebalulekileyo eBhabhiloni, waza uYehova wamvelela. Wabona uNyangelemihla, ( Dan 7:9-14 ) kananjalo wabona onjengoNyana woMntu esiza namafu ezulu waza weza kuNyangelemihla, yaye amsondeza phambi kwakhe. Wabona uGabriyeli weva ngoMikayeli waza wabona izikumkani, ukuya kutsho kwitrone emhlophe yomgwebo. Wayethandwa ngokwenene. Kwakhona wabona irhamncwa okanye umchasi-Kristu. Wanikwa isipho samaphupha nokutolika. Ukanti, uDaniyeli kuzo zonke ezi ntsikelelo nezikhundla awazifumanayo wayigcina ikhalenda yakhe kwaye wayephawula iminyaka yokuthinjwa..
UDaniyeli akazange alilibale ilizwi likaThixo elathethwa nguYeremiya malunga neminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe eBhabhiloni. Ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-50-60 eseBhabhiloni akazange ayilibale incwadi yesiprofeto sikaYeremiya, ( Dan. 9:1-3 ). Namhlanje abaninzi bazilibele iziprofeto eziphathelele uguqulelo nembandezelo enkulu ezayo, iziprofeto zeNkosi nezabaprofeti. UPawulos kwi-1st Kor. 15: 51-58 kunye no-1st Thes. 4:13-18 bakhumbuze onke amakholwa ngenguqulelo ezayo. UYohane wayandisa imeko yokwenyaniso elijamelene nayo ihlabathi ngeziprofeto zencwadi yeSityhilelo. UDaniyeli umprofeti ngokwakhe wayekwazi ukulandela umprofeti. Awulandeli umprofeti oyindoda kodwa ilizwi likaThixo elanikwa umprofeti. Indoda inokulishiya ilizwe njengokuba uYeremiya wemkayo kodwa uDaniyeli walibona ilizwi likaThixo lizaliseka. Ngenxa yokuba wayekholelwa kwilizwi lomprofeti, xa yayisondela kwiminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe waqalisa ukufuna uThixo evuma izono zabantu kuquka naye ezonweni. Wayeyazi indlela yokukholelwa kwilizwi likaThixo ngomprofeti. Uwakholelwa njani amazwi kaThixo ngabaprofeti aza kuzalisekiswa? UDaniyeli wayeneminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amathandathu elindele ukubuyela kwamaYuda eYerusalem. Wayeyazi indlela yokukholelwa kwilizwi likaThixo ngomprofeti. Wayekhangele phambili ekuzalisekeni kwazo. Njengenguqulelo eza kwenzeka kamsinya yabanyuliweyo.
Ukuze uDaniyeli okanye naliphi na ikholwa lizuze uloyiso okanye impumelelo kuhambo oluya ezulwini umntu makazazi ezi ndalo zintathu zahlukeneyo zidlalwayo. Ubume bomntu, indalo kaSathana kunye nendalo kaThixo.
Ubume bomntu.
Umntu kufuneka aqonde ukuba uyinyama, ubuthathaka kwaye ulawulwa ngokulula ziintshukumo zesono, ngoncedo lomtyholi. Abantu babekuthanda ukubona nokulandela uYesu Kristu ngoxa wayesemhlabeni. Babemdumisa yaye bemnqula kodwa wayenobungqina obahlukileyo bomntu, njengokuba kuYohane 2:24-25 , “Ke yena uYesu akaziyekelanga kubo, ngenxa yokuba ebazi bonke abantu. Kwaye kungekho mfuneko yakuba kubekho bani ungqinayo ngomntu; kuba ubekwazi yena okungaphakathi komntu. Oku kukwenza uqonde ukuba umntu wayeneengxaki, ukususela kuMyezo wase-Eden. Khangela imisebenzi yobumnyama kunye nemisebenzi yenyama kwaye uya kubona ukuba umntu ungumkhonzi wesono; ngaphandle kobabalo lukaThixo. UPawulos wathi kwabaseRoma. 7:15-24, “—— Kuba ndiyazi ukuba ngaphakathi kwam, oko kukuthi enyameni yam, akumi okulungileyo; kuba ukuthanda kukho ukubakho oku kum; ke kona ukwenza okulungileyo andikufumani. Kuba ndikholene nomthetho kaThixo ngokomntu ongaphakathi; kodwa ndibona mthetho wumbi, emalungwini am, usilwa nomthetho wengqiqo yam, undithimbela emthethweni wesono, lowo usemalungwini am. Athi ke mna, mntu uludwayi, ngubani na oya kundihlangula kulo mzimba woku kufa? Ndiyabulela kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu. Ngoko ke mna ngokwam ngayo ingqiqo okunene ndikhonza umthetho kaThixo; kodwa ngayo inyama ndikhonza umthetho wesono. Ke le yindalo yomntu kwaye udinga uncedo lokomoya oluvela kuThixo kwaye yiyo loo nto uThixo weza ekwimo yomntu uYesu Krestu, ukunika umntu ithuba lendalo entsha.
Ubume bukaSathana.
Kufuneka uyazi indalo kaSathana ngandlela zonke. Ungumntu nje, ( Hez. 28:1-3 ). Wadalwa nguThixo yaye akangoThixo. Akakho kuzo zonke iindawo, akakho owazi zonke izinto, unamandla onke okanye unamandla onke. Ungummangaleli wabazalwana, (ISityhi. 12:10). Ungumbhali wamathandabuzo, ukungakholwa, ukubhideka, ukugula, isono nokufa). Kodwa uYohane 10:10, ukuxelela konke ngoSathana ngalowo wamdalayo, “Isela alizi lingazele ukuze libe, lixhele, litshabalalise. Funda konke kuYohane 10:1-18, ukugula. Unguyise wabo ubuxoki, isibulala-mntu kwasekuqaleni yaye akukho nyaniso kuye, (Yohane 8:44). Ubhadula njengengonyama egqumayo, (1st Petros 5:8), kodwa asiyongonyama yokwenene; iNgonyama yesizwe sikaYuda, (ISityhi. 5:5). Usisithunywa sezulu esiwileyo esisiphelo saso silidike lomlilo, (ISityhi. 20:10), emva kokuvalelwa entolongweni ngamatyathanga, enzonzobileni, iminyaka eliwaka. Okokugqibela, akukho kwindalo yakhe ukuzisola, okanye ukucela ukuxolelwa. Akanakuze aguquke kwaye inceba imkile kuye. Uyakuvuyela ukunciphisa amanye amadoda ukuya kwinqanaba lodumo lwakhe olonzakeleyo ngenxa yesono. Ungumqeshwa. Ulisela lomphefumlo. Izixhobo zakhe zibandakanya, uloyiko, ukuthandabuza, ukudimazeka, ukuzibekela amangomso, ukungakholwa nayo yonke imisebenzi yenyama njengakwaGal. 5:19-21; I-ROM. 1:18-32 . Unguthixo wehlabathi nokuthanda kwalo ihlabathi, (2nd Kor. 4: 4).
Ubume bukaThixo.
Kuba uThixo uluthando, (1st UYohane 4:8): Kangangokuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo ukuba afele umntu, (Yohane 3:16). Wathabatha ubume bomntu waza wafa ukuze axolelanise umntu kwakhona naye, (Kol. 1:12–20). Wanikela waza wafela umntu njengokutshata umtshakazi wokwenene. UnguMalusi olungileyo. Uyasixolela isono esixeliweyo, kuba ligazi lakhe awaliphalaza emnqamlezweni waseKalvari elihlamba izono. Nguye kuphela onika ubomi obungunaphakade. Ukho kuzo zonke iindawo, wazi izinto zonke, unamandla onke kwaye unamandla onke kunye nokunye okuninzi. Unako kuphela kwaye uya kutshabalalisa uSathana nabo bonke abalandela uSathana ngokuchasene nelizwi likaThixo. Nguye kuphela onguThixo, uYesu Kristu, akukho wumbi, (Isaya 44:6-8). UIsaya 1:18 , “Yizani ngoku, sibonisane, itsho iNkosi; nokuba izono zenu zide zavela zanjengengubo ebomvu, zoba mhlophe njengekhephu; nokuba zide zayingqombela njengebala elibomvu, zovela zinjengoboya begusha. Lo nguThixo, uthando, uxolo, ubulali, inceba, ukuzeyisa, ububele, nesiqhamo sonke soMoya (Gal.5:22-23). Funda wonke uYohane 10:1-18.
Uthando lukaThixo lwaluyinxalenye yelizwi lakhe kwizigaba zebandla, eziyala ukuba zihambelane necebo nenjongo yakhe; kwanokuba basabe esonweni. Kwibandla laseLawodike, elimele isigaba samabandla namhlanje, kwiSityhi. 3:16-18 , “babedikidiki, beziba zizityebi, betyebile, bengaswele nto; ube ungazi ukuba uludwayinge, ulusizana, ulihlwempu, uyimfama, uhamba ze”. Lo ngumfanekiso wokwenyaniso weNgqobhoko namhlanje. Kodwa ngenceba yakhe Wathi kwindinyana ye-18, “Ndiyakucebisa, ukuba uthenge kum igolide evuthiswe emlilweni, ukuze ube nobutyebi; neengubo ezimhlophe, ukuze wambeswe, lingabonakali ihlazo lobuze bakho; nentambiso yamehlo, uthambise amehlo akho, ukuze ubone.
Thenga iindlela zegolide, fumana isimilo sikaKristu kuwe ngokholo, ngokubonakalalisa kwesiqhamo soMoya ebomini bakho, (Gal. 5:22-23). Oku ukufumana ngosindiso ngokholo, (Marko 16:5). Nangomsebenzi wakho wobuKristu kunye nokuqola, njengoko kubhaliwe ku-2nd Petros 1:2-11 . Oku kuya kukunceda ukuba uthenge igolide eyisisimilo sikaKrestu kuwe, ngovavanyo, izilingo, izilingo kunye neentshutshiso. Oku kukunika ixabiso okanye isimilo ngokholo, (1st (Funda kaPetros 1:7). Ifuna intobelo nokuzithoba kuwo onke amazwi kaThixo.
Impahla emhlophe ithetha, (ubulungisa, ngosindiso); ivela kuphela kuYesu Kristu. Ngokuvuma kwakho nangokuvuma izono zakho, zide zihlanjwe. Uba sisidalwa esitsha sikaThixo, ngesipho sobomi obungunaphakade. KwabaseRoma 13:14 ifundeka ngolu hlobo, “Yambathani ke iNkosi uYesu Kristu, ningasilungiseleli isimo senyama ngokweenkanuko zayo.” Oku kukunika isidima okanye ubulungisa, (ISityhi. 19:8).
Intambiso yamehlo ithetha ukuba, (umbono okanye umbono, ukukhanyiselwa liLizwi ngoMoya oyiNgcwele) ukuze ubone. Enye yezona ndlela zilula zokuthenga intambiso yamehlo ukuze uthambise amehlo akho kukuphulaphula nokukholelwa kwilizwi likaThixo ngabaprofeti bakhe bokwenyaniso, (1)st (Yohane 2:27). Udinga ubhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele. Funda Heb. 6:4, Efese 1:18; INdumiso 19:8. Kwakhona, “Lisisibane seenyawo zam ilizwi lakho, likukukhanya emendweni wam” (Iindumiso 119:105).
Ngoku ke ukhetho lolwenu, phulaphulani ilizwi likaThixo ngabaprofeti bakhe. Khumbula isiTyhilelo 19:10, “Kuba ubungqina bukaYesu bungumoya wesiprofeto.” Ubungqina bokwenyani ngoYesu buthetha ukuthobela imiyalelo yakhe nokuthembeka kwiimfundiso zakhe nakwilizwi lakhe ngabaprofeti. Ukuthobela umyalelo kaThixo, (ISityhi. 12:17) kufana nokubamba ubungqina bukaYesu. “Hlalani eYerusalem nide nivathiswe amandla” ( Luka 24:49 kunye neZenzo 1:4-8 ). Abafundi, kuquka noMariya unina kaYesu, bawuthobela lo myalelo kwaye wawulingana nokubamba ubungqina bukaYesu. Yayisisiprofeto kwaye yenzeka. UYohane 14:1-3, “Ndiyemka ndiya kunilungisela indawo (umntu). ukuba ke ndimkile ndaya kunilungisela indawo, ndiya kubuya ndize, ndinamkelele kum; ukuze apho ndikhona mna, nibe khona nani. Esi yayisisiprofeto sikaYesu Kristu. Wathi, kuLuka 21:29-36, “Phaphani ngoko nihlale nithandaza, ukuze nibalelwe ekuthini nifanele ukuzisaba zonke ezo zinto ziza kuhla, nokumiswa phambi koNyana woMntu.” Oku kwakuza kuzalisekisa uYohane 14:1-3 . Kwaye yacaciswa nguPawulos, ku1st Tes. 4: 13-18 kunye no-1st Kor. 15:51-58; olu luguqulelo. Bonke abazivayo nabazenzayo ezi ziprofeto bayayithobela imiyalelo kaThixo yaye bethembekile kwimfundiso yakhe. Kwaye kulingana nokubamba ubungqina bukaYesu Krestu; kungenjalo ngomnyango Mat. 25:10 uya kuvalwa kuwe, ushiywe. Imbandezelo enkulu ekwalilizwi lesiprofeto iya kwenzeka. Fundani ukuhamba neNkosi uYehova ngokuphulaphula ilizwi likaThixo ngabakhonzi bakhe abaprofeti. Bubulumko obu. Ngaba awuboni imiqondiso yemihla yokugqibela kuthi sonke, la ngamazwi kaThixo ngabaprofeti. Ngubani na oya kuliva ilizwi likaThixo ngabaprofeti bakhe? Funda iSityhi. 22:6-9 , yaye uya kubona ukuba uThixo waqinisekisa ukuba abaprofeti babethetha amazwi akhe esiprofeto ebantwini. Fundani ukwazi ukuphulaphula nokuthobela ilizwi likaThixo ngabakhonzi bakhe abaprofeti.
