Ukuhamba noNkulunkulu nokulalela abaprofethi bakhe
UNkulunkulu wabiza uSamuweli esemncane noJeremiya kwasesiswini sikanina ukuba abe abaprofethi bakhe. Iminyaka yakho ayisho lutho kuNkulunkulu uma efuna ukhonze yena. Uyakutshela ukuthi uthini noma umenzeleni. Ufaka izwi lakhe emlonyeni wakho. Ngokuka-Amose 3:7 , “Impela iNkosi uJehova akenzi lutho, ingayambulanga imfihlakalo yayo ezincekwini zayo abaprofethi.
UNkulunkulu ukhuluma nezinceku zakhe ngamaphupho, imibono, ingxoxo eqondile nazo, futhi uMoya oNgcwele uyaziqondisa ukuba zikubeke ngamazwi azo. Kodwa kwezinye izimo uNkulunkulu ukhuluma nabo ngokuqondile njengobuso nobuso ngamazwi futhi ngezinye izikhathi kuyinkulumo yabantu ababili, njengasendabeni kaMose ehlane; noma uPawulu endleleni eya eDamaseku. Futhi imibhalo iyizwi likaNkulunkulu elambulelwa abaprofethi, njengo-Isaya 9:6 okwenzeka ngemva kwamakhulu eminyaka. Izwi likaNkulunkulu kumele lenzeke, yingakho imibhalo ithi, izulu nomhlaba kuyodlula kodwa hhayi izwi lami; UJesu Kristu washo lokho ku (Luka 21:33).
UNkulunkulu akenzi lutho emhlabeni ngaphandle kokuba embule ezincekwini zakhe abaprofethi. Funda u-Amose 3:7; Jeremiya 25:11-12 noJeremiya 38:20. Izwi likaNkulunkulu lembula icebo likaNkulunkulu ngathi ngamunye wethu. KungoKristu kuphela lapho singaguqula khona izingqondo zethu zibe nobuhlobo obuhle noNkulunkulu futhi sazi amacebo akhe, awembulwe kithi ngemibhalo engcwele eyanikezwa izinceku zakhe abaprofethi. Intando Yakhe yembulwa ezwini okuyilona lodwa nelinegunya eliphakeme elanele kuwo wonke amakholwa, (2nd Isikhathi. 3: 15-17). Kukhona indlela yokuphila ngaphansi kokugcotshwa okungokwesiprofetho. UJoshuwa noKalebi bakwenza ngaphansi kukaMose. Bakholwa izwi likaNkulunkulu ngomprofethi. Lokho uNkulunkulu asambulela kona, kusezwini lakhe. Kungakho iHubo 138:2 lithi, “UNkulunkulu wenza izwi lakhe libe likhulu kunawo wonke amagama akhe.” Wanikeza izwi lakhe ezincekwini zakhe abaprofethi.
Khumbula uDaniyeli umprofethi kaNkulunkulu, othandwa kakhulu yiNkosi, (Dan. 9:23). Wayengumfana oneminyaka eyi-10 kuya kwengu-14 lapho beyiswa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni. EseJudiya emihleni kaJeremiya umprofethi wezwa ngesiprofetho sokuthunjelwa eBabele iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa. Bangaki kithi abaneminyaka nezimo ezifanayo abebengalalelisisa noma bakhumbule amazwi anjalo esiprofetho. Abantu abaningi eJudiya abazange baphume ukuzosekela umprofethi uJeremiya lapho ememezela kubo izwi likaNkulunkulu leqiniso. Cishe eminyakeni emibili ngemva kwesiprofetho sikaJeremiya, ( Jeremiya 25:11-12 ). Kwabe sekufika izenzakalo ezagcina eJudiya ekuthunjelweni eBhabhiloni iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa yokuthunjwa.
Namuhla iziprofetho zabaprofethi nezikaJesu Kristu ngokwakhe zisitshela ngokuhumusha, usizi olukhulu nokunye okuningi. Kodwa ababaningi abanakayo. Kodwa uDaniyeli osemusha owayesekuthunjweni, wenqaba ukudla kwenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wathi ngeke azingcolise. Osemusha owayemazi uNkulunkulu. UJeremiya akahambanga nabo ekuthunjweni. UDaniyeli osemusha wagcina amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngomprofethi uJeremiya enhliziyweni yakhe futhi wathandaza futhi wazindla ngawo iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-60. Akazange avumele umusa wamakhosi aseBhabhiloni ukuba umphambanise. Wayekhuleka kathathu ngosuku ebheke ngaseJerusalema. Wenza izinto ezinhle eBhabhiloni futhi uJehova wamhambela. Wabona oMdala wezinsuku, ( Dan 7:9-14 ) futhi wabona onjengeNdodana yomuntu eza namafu ezulu futhi eza koMdala Wezinsuku, futhi amsondeza phambi kwakhe. Wabona uGabriyeli futhi wezwa ngoMikayeli futhi wabona imibuso, kuze kufike ekwahlulelweni kwesihlalo sobukhosi esimhlophe. Wayethandwa ngempela. Wabona futhi isilo noma u-anti-Kristu. Waphiwa isipho samaphupho nezincazelo. Nokho, uDaniyeli kuzo zonke lezi zibusiso nezikhundla azithola wagcina ikhalenda lakhe futhi wayephawula iminyaka yokuthunjwa..
UDaniyeli akazange alikhohlwe izwi likaNkulunkulu kaJeremiya cishe iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa eBhabhiloni. Eminyakeni engaphezu kwama-50-60 eseBhabhiloni akazange ayikhohlwe incwadi yesiprofetho sikaJeremiya, ( Dan. 9:1-3 ). Namuhla abaningi sebekhohliwe iziphrofetho ezimayelana nokuhunyushwa kanye nosizi olukhulu oluzayo, iziprofetho zeNkosi kanye nabaphrofethi. UPawulu ku-1st Kor. 15: 51-58 no-1st Thess. 4:13-18 wakhumbuza wonke amakholwa ngokuhumusha okuzayo. UJohane wandisa isimo sangempela esibhekene nezwe ngeziprofetho zencwadi yesAmbulo. UDaniyeli umprofethi ngokwakhe wayekwazi ukulandela umprofethi. Awulandeli umprofethi wendoda kodwa izwi likaNkulunkulu elinikezwe umprofethi. Indoda ingase ihambe emhlabeni njengokuhamba kukaJeremiya kodwa uDaniel walibona izwi likaNkulunkulu ligcwaliseka. Ngenxa yokuthi wakholwa yizwi lomphrofethi, kwathi sekusondele iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa waqala ukufuna uNkulunkulu evuma izono zabantu kuhlanganise naye ezonweni. Wayekwazi ukukholwa yizwi likaNkulunkulu ngomprofethi. Uwakholwa kanjani amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngabaprofethi asezogcwaliseka? UDaniyeli iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi ayisithupha wayelindele ukubuyela kwamaJuda eJerusalema. Wayekwazi ukukholwa yizwi likaNkulunkulu ngomprofethi. Wayebheke phambili ekugcwalisekeni kwazo. Njengokuhunyushwa okuzokwenzeka maduze kwabakhethiweyo.
Ukuze uDaniyeli nanoma yiliphi ikholwa lizuze ukunqoba noma impumelelo ohambweni lokuya ezulwini umuntu kufanele azi lezi zimo ezintathu ezahlukene ezikhona. Isimo somuntu, isimo sikaSathane kanye nesimo sikaNkulunkulu.
Imvelo yomuntu.
Umuntu udinga ukuqonda ukuthi uyinyama, ubuthakathaka futhi ukhohliswa kalula yizenzo zesono, ngosizo lukadeveli. Abantu babethanda ukubona nokulandela uJesu Kristu ngesikhathi esemhlabeni. Babemdumisa futhi bemkhonza kodwa wayenobufakazi obuhlukile bomuntu, njengakuJohane 2:24-25 , “Kepha uJesu akazithembanga kubo, ngokuba ebazi bonke. Futhi kwakungasweli ukuthi omunye afakaze ngomuntu; ngoba yena wayekwazi okuphakathi komuntu. Lokhu kukwenza uqonde ukuthi umuntu wayenezinkinga, kusukela ensimini yase-Edene. Bheka imisebenzi yobumnyama nemisebenzi yenyama uzobona ukuthi umuntu uyisigqila sesono; ngaphandle komusa kaNkulunkulu. UPawuli wathi kuRom. 7:15-24, “—– Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi kimi (okusenyameni yami) akuhlali okuhle; kodwa ukwenza okuhle kangikutholi. -Ngokuba ngiyathokoza ngomthetho kaNkulunkulu ngokomuntu ongaphakathi, kepha ngibona omunye umthetho ezithweni zami, olwa nomthetho wengqondo yami, ungithumbela emthethweni wesono osezithweni zami. O mina muntu wosizi, ngubani ongangikhulula kulo mzimba walokhu kufa na? Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Ngakho-ke ngengqondo mina ngokwami ngikhonza umthetho kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngenyama umthetho wesono.” Ngakho lesi isimo somuntu futhi udinga usizo lukamoya oluvela kuNkulunkulu yingakho uNkulunkulu eze esesimweni somuntu uJesu Kristu, ukuze anikeze umuntu ithuba lemvelo entsha.
Isimo sikaSathane.
Udinga ukwazi isimo sikaSathane ngayo yonke indlela. Ungumuntu nje, (Hez. 28:1-3). Wadalwa uNkulunkulu futhi akayena uNkulunkulu. Akayena umuntu okhona yonke indawo, akayena owazi konke, onamandla onke noma onamandla onke. Ungummangaleli wabazalwane, (Samb. 12:10). Ungumqambi wokungabaza, ukungakholwa, ukudideka, ukugula, isono nokufa). Kodwa uJohane 10:10, ukutshela konke ngoSathane ngalowo owamdalayo, “Isela alizi kodwa ukweba, nokubulala, nokubhubhisa. Funda konke uJohane 10:1-18, ukugula. Unguyise wamanga, umbulali kwasekuqaleni futhi iqiniso alikho kuye, (Johane 8:44). Uzulazula njengengonyama ebhongayo, (1st Petru 5:8), kodwa akulona ibhubesi langempela; INgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, ( IsAmb. 5:5 ). Uyingelosi ewile ukuphela kwayo kuyichibi lomlilo, ( IsAm. 20:10 ), ngemva kokuboshwa ngamaketanga, kwalasha, iminyaka eyinkulungwane. Ekugcineni, akukhona emvelweni yakhe ukuzisola, noma ukucela intethelelo. Akasoze aphenduka futhi umusa usuhambile kuye. Uyakujabulela ukwehlisa amanye amadoda aze afike ezingeni ledumela lakhe elimele ngenxa yesono. Ungumqashwa. Uyisela lomphefumulo. Izikhali zakhe zihlanganisa, ukwesaba, ukungabaza, ukudangala, ukuzindela, ukungakholwa kanye nayo yonke imisebenzi yenyama njengakuGal. 5:19-21; Rom. 1:18-32. Ungunkulunkulu womhlaba kanye nezwe lawo, (2nd Kor. 4: 4).
Isimo sikaNkulunkulu.
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu uluthando, (1st Johane 4:8): Kangangoba wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba ifele umuntu, (Johane 3:16). Wathatha isimo somuntu wafa ukuze abuyisele umuntu kuye, (Kol. 1:12-20). Wanikela futhi wafela umuntu njengokushada umakoti weqiniso. UnguMelusi omuhle. Uthethelela isono esivunyiweyo, ngoba yigazi lakhe alichitha esiphambanweni saseKalvari eligeza izono. Nguye kuphela onakho futhi unikeza ukuphila okuphakade. Ukhona yonke indawo, wazi konke, unamandla onke futhi unamandla onke nokunye okuningi. Angabhubhisa uSathane kuphela futhi bonke abalandela uSathane ngokumelene nezwi likaNkulunkulu. Yena yedwa unguNkulunkulu, uJesu Kristu futhi akekho omunye, (Isaya 44:6-8). UIsaya 1:18, “Wozani manje, sibonisane, isho iNkosi; noma zibomvu njengokubomvu, ziyakuba njengoboya bezimvu. Lona nguNkulunkulu, uthando, ukuthula, ubumnene, isihawu, ukuzithiba, umusa kanye nazo zonke izithelo zikaMoya, (Gal.5: 22-23). Funda uJohane 10:1-18.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwaluyingxenye yezwi lakhe ezinkathini zamabandla, eziyala ukuba zihambisane necebo nenjongo yakhe; futhi nokuba babaleke esonweni. Ebandleni laseLawodikeya, elimele unyaka webandla wanamuhla, kusAm. 3:16-18, “babesivivi, bezisho ukuthi bacebile, becebile, bengasweli lutho; futhi awukwazi ukuthi ulusizi, nowokuhawukelwa, nompofu, nempumputhe, nohamba-ze”. Lona umfanekiso wangempela weLobukholwa namuhla. Kodwa ngomusa waKhe wathi evesini 18, “Ngiyakululeka ukuba uthenge kimi igolide elicwengisiswe emlilweni, ukuze ucebe; nezingubo ezimhlophe ukuze wembathe, kungabonakali ihlazo lobunqunu bakho; wogcoba amehlo akho ngomuthi wamehlo, ukuze ubone.”
Thenga izindlela zegolide, thola isimilo sikaKristu kuwe ngokukholwa, ngokubonakala kwesithelo sikaMoya empilweni yakho, (Gal. 5:22-23). Lokhu uthola ngokusindiswa ngokukholwa, (ngokukaMarku 16:5). Futhi nangomsebenzi wakho wobuKristu nokuvuthwa, njengoba kulotshiwe ku-2nd Petru 1:2-11. Lokhu kuzokusiza ukuthi uthenge igolide eliyisimilo sikaKristu kuwe, ngokuvivinywa, ukulingwa, ukulingwa nokushushiswa. Lokhu kukunika ukubaluleka noma isimilo ngokholo, (1st Petru 1:7). Kubiza ukulalela nokuzithoba kuwo wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu.
Ingubo emhlophe isho, (ukulunga, ngensindiso); ivela kuJesu Kristu kuphela. Ngokuvuma kwakho nokuvuma izono zakho, ukuze zigezwe. Uba yisidalwa esisha sikaNkulunkulu, ngesipho sokuphila okuphakade. KwabaseRoma 13:14 ifundeka kanje, “Kepha yembathani iNkosi uJesu Kristu, ningalungiseleli inyama ukufeza izinkanuko zayo.” Lokhu kupha ubuhle noma ukulunga kuwe, (Samb. 19:8).
Umuthi wamehlo usho ukuthi, (ukubona noma ukubona, ukukhanyiselwa yiZwi ngoMoya oNgcwele) ukuze ubone. Enye yezindlela ezilula zokuthenga umuthi wamehlo ukuze ugcobe amehlo akho iwukulalela nokukholwa yizwi likaNkulunkulu ngabaprofethi bakhe beqiniso, (1st Johane 2:27). Udinga umbhaphathizo kaMoya oNgcwele. Funda Heb. 6:4, Efe.1:18, Amahubo 19:8. Futhi, “Izwi lakho liyisibani ezinyaweni zami nokukhanya endleleni yami” (AmaHubo 119:105).
Manje ukukhetha kungokwakho, lalela izwi likaNkulunkulu ngabaprofethi bakhe. Khumbula isAm. 19:10, “Ngokuba ubufakazi bukaJesu buyisiprofetho. Ubufakazi beqiniso ngoJesu busho ukulalela imiyalo yakhe nokwethembeka ezimfundisweni zakhe nasezwini lakhe ngabaprofethi. Ukulalela umyalo kaNkulunkulu, ( IsAm. 12:17 ) kufana nokubamba ubufakazi bukaJesu. “Hlalani eJerusalema nize nembathiswe amandla,” ( Luka 24:49 kanye neZenzo 1:4-8 ). Abafundi, kuhlanganise noMariya unina kaJesu, bawulalela umyalo futhi wawufana nokubamba ubufakazi bukaJesu. Kwakungokwesiprofetho futhi kwenzeka. NgokukaJohane 14:1-3, “Ngiya ukuyonilungisela indawo (ngokwakho). Uma ngiya nginilungisela indawo, ngobuye ngize, nginamukele kimi; ukuze lapho ngikhona, nibe khona nani. Lesi kwakuyisiprofetho sikaJesu Kristu. Futhi Wathi, kuLuka 21:29-36, “Ngakho-ke lindani njalo nikhuleke, ukuze nibalwe njengabafanelekele ukuphunyuka kuzo zonke lezizinto eziyakwenzeka, nokuma phambi kweNdodana yomuntu.” Lokhu kwakuyogcwalisa uJohane 14:1-3 . Futhi kuchazwe nguPaul, ku-1st Thes. 4: 13-18 no-1st Kor. 15:51-58; lokhu ukuhumusha. Bonke abalalelayo futhi balalele lezi ziprofetho, babonisa ukulalela imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nokwethembeka ezimfundisweni zakhe. Futhi kulingana nokubamba ubufakazi bukaJesu Kristu; okunye umnyango kaMath. 25:10 kuzovalwa phezu kwakho futhi ushiywe ngemuva. Usizi olukhulu oluyizwi lesiprofetho futhi luyokwenzeka. Fundani ukuhamba neNkosi uNkulunkulu ngokulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu ngezinceku zakhe abaprofethi. Lokhu ukuhlakanipha. Aniboni yini izimpawu zezinsuku zokugcina phezu kwethu sonke, lawa amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngabaprofethi. Ngubani oyakulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu ngabaprofethi bakhe? Funda isAmbulo 22:6-9 , futhi uzobona ukuthi uNkulunkulu waqinisekisa ukuthi abaprofethi babekhuluma amazwi akhe okuprofetha kubantu. Fundani ukwazi ukulalela nokulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu ngezinceku zakhe abaprofethi.
