Ngaba ufumene uMoya oyiNgcwele okoko wakholwa?
UYohane, uMbhaptizi, wangqina ngoYesu Krestu. Wayeshumayela inguquko kwaye ebhaptiza abo bakholelwayo kumyalezo wakhe. Wabeka ezinye izikhokelo zokuba abantu bazisebenzise ekuzigwebeni ngokwabo (uLuka 3: 11-14). Umzekelo uxelele abantu ukuba ukuba baneebhatyi ezimbini, mabanike umntu lowo ungenayo idyasi. Ulumkise abarhwebi ukuba bayeke ukuqhatha abantu ngokuqokelela irhafu eninzi kunemali efunekayo. Waxelela amajoni ukuba aphephe ubundlobongela, izityholo zobuxoki nxamnye nabantu, kwaye baneliseke ngumvuzo wabo. Le yayiyimikhombandlela awayeyibekile yokunceda abantu bafune inguquko kunye nokulungisa ubomi babo ngaphambi kokuza kuThixo ngobhaptizo lukaYohane.
Nangona kunjalo, uJohn wenza le ngcaciso icacileyo nesiprofeto ukwalatha abantu kolunye ubhaptizo olwathatha indawo yobhaptizo lwakhe lokuqala: kodwa uyeza onamandla kunam, endingafanelekileyo ukuba ndiwuthukulule nomtya weembadada zakhe; yena uya kunibhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele nangomlilo ”(Luka 3: 16).
KwiZenzo 19: 1-6, umpostile uPawulos wafumana abazalwana abathembekileyo e-Efese ababesele bekholiwe. Wabuza kubo, "UMoya oyiNgcwele namamkela na, nakholwayo nje? Baphendula bathi, "Asizanga sive nokuva ukuba kukho uMoya oyiNgcwele." Wathi ke uPawulos, "UYohane [uMbhaptizi] ubhaptize ubhaptizo lwenguquko esithi ebantwini mabakholwe kulowo uzayo emva kwakhe, oko kukuthi, kuKristu Yesu." Bathe ke bakukuva aba bazalwana, babhaptizwa egameni leNkosi uYesu Krestu. UPawulos wabeka izandla kubo kwaye babhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye bathetha ngeelwimi, baprofeta (v. 6).
UThixo unesizathu sokunika uMoya oyiNgcwele. Ukuthetha ngeelwimi nokuprofeta kukubonakalisa ubukho boMoya oyiNgcwele. Isizathu sokubhaptizwa koMoya oyiNgcwele sinokufumaneka kumazwi kaYesu Krestu, umbhaptizi ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Ngaphambi kokunyuka kwakhe, uYesu wathi kubapostile, “Kodwa niya kwamkela amandla emva kokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele efikile kuni [amandla anikwe noMoya oyiNgcwele] kwaye niya kuba ngamangqina am naseYerusalem, nakwelakwaYuda liphela, naseSamariya, kude kuse nasekupheleni komhlaba. umhlaba ”(Izenzo 1: 8). Ke, sinokubona ngokucacileyo ukuba isizathu sobhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele kunye nomlilo yinkonzo kunye nokunikela ubungqina. UMoya oyiNgcwele unika amandla okuthetha, nokwenza yonke imisebenzi eyenziwa nguYesu Krestu xa wayesemhlabeni. UMoya oyiNgcwele usenza ukuba [abo bafumene uMoya oyiNgcwele] sibe ngamangqina akhe.
Jonga okwenziwa ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele: kuzisa ubungqina ebusweni boluntu ukuqinisekisa amazwi kaYesu Krestu phakathi kwabantu. UYesu wathi kuMarko 16; 15 -18, “Yiyani kwihlabathi lonke nishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo kuyo yonke indalo. Lowo ukholiweyo wabhaptizwa [egameni leNkosi uYesu Kristu] uyakusindiswa; ke yena ongakholwayo uyakugwetywa. Nantsi ke imiqondiso eyakulandelana nabo bakholiweyo; egameni lam [iNkosi uYesu Kristu] baya kukhupha iidemon; baya kuthetha ngeelwimi ezintsha; baya kuphatha iinyoka; nokuba bathe basela into ebulalayo, ayikukha ibenzakalise; bayakubeka izandla phezu kwemilwelwe, iphile. ” Obu bubungqina obuqinisekisayo okanye ubungqina kwabalahlekileyo bokuba uYesu Krestu uyaphila kwaye usaphila. Nguye izolo, namhlanje nangonaphakade. Ume ngeLizwi laKhe.
Ingxaki kukuba amakholwa amaninzi ayonwaba ngokuthetha ngolwimi ukubonakalisa ukuba bayalilibala eyona njongo yobhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele-amandla aza nayo. Iilwimi ikakhulu zenzelwe ukuziqinisa kunye nomthandazo kuMoya (1 kwabaseKorinte 14: 2, 4). Xa singasakwazi ukuthandaza ngokuqonda, uMoya uyasinceda kubulwelwe bethu (KwabaseRoma 8: 26).
Ubhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele luzisa amandla. Uninzi lunamandla, kodwa alusebenzisi ngenxa yokungazi kunye / okanye uloyiko. Ngamandla angaphezu kwendalo anikwa amakholwa okwenene ukuqinisekisa ukuba uYesu Kristu uyaphila. Ngaba ungomnye wabo basindisiweyo kwaye bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, onelisekile kukuthetha nje ngeelwimi, ngelixa abantu abaninzi besifa yonke imihla ngaphandle kukaKristu?
Mamela: ngokuka mvangeli ongasekhoyo u-TL Osborn, "Xa umKristu eyeka ukuzuza imiphefumlo [engqina], umlilo emphefumlweni wakhe uya kuyeka ukutsha. Amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele aba yimfundiso yesiko endaweni yempembelelo yomphefumlo. ” Umpostile uPawulosi wathi kweyoku-1 kwabaseTesalonika 1: 5, "Kuba iindaba ezilungileyo zethu azifikanga ngamazwi kuphela, kodwa ngamandla, noMoya oyiNgcwele, nangokuqiniseka okukhulu."
Injongo yobomi obuzaliswe nguMoya kukubonakalisa amandla amakhulu kaThixo wethu ophilayo ukuze izihlwele ezingasindiswanga zishiye oothixo bazo abafileyo ukuba "babize egameni leNkosi bahlangulwe" (Joel 2: 32). Eyona njongo yokubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kukunika amandla amakholwa amandla okungqina okanye okushumayela. Oku kunokwenziwa ngokushumayela ivangeli ngobungqina obuyilemimangaliso, imiqondiso kunye nemimangaliso ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. Ubukho bukaThixo obungummangaliso kufuneka bubekhona ebomini bethu ukuze ubone iziphumo ezincomekayo ekuphumeleleni komphefumlo. Ziqhelanise nezinto ozifundisayo kwaye oko kuya kwenza umohluko kubungqina.
Okokugqibela, ingaba ubhaptizwe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele? Ugqibele nini ukuthetha ngeelwimi? Wagqibela nini ukushumayela okanye ukushumayela emntwini, ngobuso, njengokuba uYesu washumayeza umfazi wasequleni (Yohane 4: 6- 42)? Ugqibele nini ukuthandazela umntu ogulayo? Ndagqibela nini ukwabelana okanye ukunika iphetshana leendaba ezilungileyo komnye umntu? Wagqibela nini ukufumana ummangaliso? Ugcwaliswe ngamandla, amandla e-athomu kaMoya oyiNgcwele, kwaye uvumela amandla okuhlala ulele. UThixo unokuhlala enokufumana omnye umntu endaweni yakho ukuze awufeze umsebenzi wakhe [wokuphumelela komphefumlo]. UThixo akakhethi buso bamntu. Guquka kwaye ubuyele kuthando lwakho lokuqala lweNkosi uYesu njengoko iNkosi yayilumkisile ibandla lase-Efese kwisiTyhilelo 2: 5, okanye ujongane nesimangalo awasivakalisayo ngokuchasene nebandla laseLawodike kwiSityhilelo 3: 16.
