I-BONDAGE NGABE UNGABO NGABE NGOKWENZEKA?
Buyini ubugqila njengoba busebenza enkolweni yobuKrestu ongayibuza? Ubugqila ngokwencazelo kulo mongo isimo sokuboshwa noma sokulawulwa amandla athile angaphandle noma ukulawulwa. Ngempela ungahle uboshwe futhi ungazi. Okokuqala, umuntu kufanele azibuze ukuthi ngabe besaba umuntu noma uNkulunkulu? Wake wathonywa ukulwa nezwi likaNkulunkulu phambilini? Ngabe uke wabhekana nesimo lapho othile asebenzise imfundiso yenkolo noma ifu elingokomoya ukudala ukungabaza kuwe kusuka kulokho okwaziyo okuvela ebhayibhelini? Ngabe uke wabhekana nesimo lapho umbhalo wenziwa waba yinkimbinkimbi kangangoba umbhalo ulahlekelwa ukuba lula kwawo? Ngabe wenziwe wazizwa ungafaneleki ngokomoya uma uqhathaniswa nenala engokomoya yomshumayeli kaninginingi? Abanye basebugqilini ngokuya ngeziphrofetho abazenzelwa abashumayeli. Ingabe uphila impilo yakho yobuKristu, elawulwa izimfundiso zomuntu? Lezi yizimpawu ezimbalwa zokuthi usekugqilazweni.
Masifunde kwabaseRoma 8:15, “Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe; kepha namukelisiwe uMoya, uma kungaba-ngabantwana, esimemeza ngakho ukuthi, “Aba, Baba.” AbaseGalathiya 5: 1 bayasitshela futhi, “Ngakho-ke yimani niqine enkululekweni uKristu asikhulule ngayo, nize ningaboshwa futhi ngejoka lobugqila.”
Ngemuva kokuthunywa kobuKristu eNtshonalanga Afrika kwenziwa ukucabanga okuningi futhi ngaqala ukuzibuza mayelana nezimo zengqondo engazithola emaqenjini athile esonto. Ngicabange isikhathi eside futhi kanzima mayelana nokulindelwe okholweni lobuKristu. Izithunywa zevangeli eza e-Afrika zazikhathazekile ngenhlalonhle yabantu kungakhathalekile ukuthi yiziphi ezinye izinhloso zabo zobuzwe. Balethe uthando, umusa, futhi bazama ukuguqula indlela yethu yokuphila ukuze sisebenzele isikhathi sethu sokuphila. Babecabanga umsoco ongcono; baletha imfundo bakha nezibhedlela. Balethe isidingo samanzi ahlanzekile ekukhanyeni. Bafaka ugesi futhi bakha imigwaqo nezibhedlela, konke kungakhokhiswa kubantu. Iningi lalokhu izithunywa zevangeli zazisa, zakha izindlu futhi zahlala phakathi kwabantu. Babengamanxusa evangeli. Yebo, ohulumeni babo bangaba nezinhloso ezihlukile; kepha akunakuphikwa ukuthi bakhombisile uthando, basiza abantu futhi banikeza umkhombandlela. Abanye babo bebehlala ezindlini ezingenazinsiza futhi bezimisele ukuphatha nabantu bendawo. Namuhla sisuka kude ekukhuleni kwethu kobuKristu ngaphandle kokuvuthwa, uma kuqhathaniswa nezithunywa zevangeli zokuqala. Khumbula amakolishi nezibhedlela zezithunywa zevangeli, konke kwenziwa yimizamo yesonto futhi abantu bakhokha kancane noma bengatholi lutho. Namuhla ngobulungu obukhulu nemali eningi enikelwe ngamalungu, nokho izingane zabo azikwazi ukuya kulawo makolishi, amanyuvesi noma zithole ukwelashwa okulungile noma kwamahhala kulezi zibhedlela. Okubuhlungu wukuthi amalungu abo abona zonke lezi zinto futhi abambelele ezinkolweni ezibizwa ngamahlelo. Iqiniso ukuthi laba bantu, futhi uma ungomunye wamalungu esonto anjalo usekugqilazweni futhi akazi. Zikhulule O! IZiyoni.
Ake siqale ngento eyodwa eshodayo namuhla ekhonjiswe nguJesu Kristu, ekopishwe izithunywa zevangeli zokuqala futhi yashiywa abashumayeli nabaholi besonto kanye nabadala banamuhla. Lokho kubizwa ngoZWELONKE. KuMat. 15: 31-35, ngisho neNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu wathi, “Ngiyasihawukela isixuku ngoba sihlala nami izinsuku ezintathu, futhi asinakho ukudla; futhi angiyikubamukisa bengadlile hleze baquleke indlela." Lo nguNkulunkulu emhlabeni okhombisa ububele kumuntu kodwa namuhla abaholi besonto nabadala abaningi bakhombisa uLk.10 25-37, lapho abaholi benkolo babedelela ububele babo; kodwa umSamariya Omuhle wakhombisa izimfanelo zothando. Namuhla, ubona abantu abavamile noma uquqaba esontweni abangaluzwa lolu thando. Abanye babo bahamba amakhilomitha amaningana beya emihlanganweni, abanye belambile futhi bomile futhi bebuya emuva besalambile futhi okuncane abebengakudla nakho bakuphonsa ethreyini yokunikela. Kwabaningi balaba bantu bahlala bemomotheka futhi bangafa bemamatheka, ngoba banethemba lokuthi usizo luzoza. Abanye beza nezinkinga nokugula futhi badinga ukwelulekwa kepha abakwazi ukuya kumholi webandla ngomkhuleko. Ezimweni eziningi uma usesimweni esihle sezezimali umshumayeli noma umholi angakubona hhayi labo abangenalo ithonya kwezezimali. Amanye amasonto anezihlalo ezinamagama abanikeli abaphezulu. Kuthiwani ngalabo abangenayo imali yokwenza iminikelo ephezulu? KuLuka 21: 1-4, uJesu Kristu wakhomba umfelokazi nomnikelo wakhe. Ufake konke anakho. Ngokunikela ngakho konke ayenakho, wayezimisele ukulahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe noma umthombo wokudla okulandelayo. Kepha abanye babaxhasi abakhulu bakwenza lokhu ngokweqisa kwabo ngisho nemali eyebiwe, izidakamizwa nezimali zesiko. Abaholi besonto baqoqa lezi zimali bese bezihlonipha; bese ubuza ukuthi luphi uthando nokwesaba uNkulunkulu kulezi zinsuku zokugcina eziyingozi? Umuntu ovamile uyaqhubeka nokuvaleleka kulesi simo futhi akazi ukuthi basebugqilini. Le akuyona indlela kaJesu Kristu, uma ngabe luphi uzwelo? Phendukela kuNkulunkulu futhi useshe ibhayibheli bese uvumela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ukuba ikukhulule ebugqilini bomuntu noSathane. Luphi uzwelo? Luphi uthando? I-Afrika ikholelwa kakhulu enkolweni ngoba ubumpofu nobubi kucekele phansi uquqaba phakathi kwenqwaba yemithombo. Abantu bakhala becela usizo, uhulumeni ubahlulekile yingakho begijimela emasontweni befuna induduzo, usizo nokusizwa. Bagcina ngokunyathelwa ngabaholi besonto kuthi abadala babheke nje bengenzi lutho. Ake ngiveze ukuthi unganyathela uquqaba ubasakaze kodwa wazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi ukwahlulelwa kuyeza; nokuthi ukwahlulela kuzoqala endlini kaNkulunkulu (1st UPetru 4:17). Khumbula amaHubo 78: 28-31.
Uvame ukuzwa laba baholi bamabandla amancane namakhulu bethi, “Ningathinti abagcotshiweyo bakaNkulunkulu futhi ningabalimazi abaprofethi bakhe.” Konke lokhu bakusho ukwesabisa abantu, ukubenza bacabange ukuthi bangokomoya kakhulu futhi bayizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu. Le ngenye yamasu wokukhohlisa ukuletha abantu ebugqilini. Kukhona labo abathi noma abaqokwe njengabadala, ababona lokhu okungajwayelekile futhi bavala amehlo abo eqinisweni. Ezinye zazo zinxeshezelwa noma ziyingxenye yendlela yobugqila. Ukwahlulelwa kuzobafica. Njengoba igazi lika-Abela nezinsana ezikhishwe izisu likhala phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke futhi ukukhala kwala mabandla alahlekile futhi aphethwe kabi ebugqilini, kuzwakala phambi kukaNkulunkulu ofanayo. Impela, ukwahlulela kuseduze kwekhoneni. Uphi umoya wesibindi uNkulunkulu awunika abadala abasindisiwe nabazisholo ukuthi bangabadala? Ubugqila iyithuluzi likaSathane elibhubhisayo. Abantu abaningi badlulisele ukwethembela kwabo kuKrestu Jesu kubaholi bamabandla ngazo zonke izidingo zabo futhi lokho kungenye yezizathu ezinkulu zokuba babe sebugqilini.
Abantu basebugqilini kangangoba isonto manje sekufanele linqume ukuthi kungcwatshwa nini. Abagcini ngokuyalela usuku lokungcwatshwa, abakhombisi ububele kumalunga kanye nemindeni yabo. Kwesinye isikhathi isonto lalifuna imali engakhokhelwa yamalungu omndeni abafileyo. Kwaba yikholi yokubiza imali yawo wonke amalungu omndeni. Babedinga ukukhokha noma babengeke baqhube umngcwabo. Uma ungazi lokhu kungubugqila hhayi ububele. Imali iba nguNkulunkulu wabo. Abazange bakhonze amalungu omndeni noma bavuse abafileyo; konke abakubonile kwakuyithuba lokuqoqa imali. Eminye imindeni ingena ezikweletini nasehlazweni lokungcwaba abafileyo bayo. Ingabe lena imfundiso eyiyo yemibhalo engcwele? Ngisho namanye amaKristu angempela alaziyo iqiniso ahlala kulawa mabandla, ngenxa yokuthi ngubani ozonika bona noma amalungu omndeni wabo umngcwabo ofanele lapho kufa noma ngesikhathi somshado. Ubugqila buthatha labo abangazi noma abesaba ukumela iqiniso. Kepha nakanjani ukwahlulelwa kuyeza.
Uma ufuna inkonzo yesonto futhi ulwela ukwehlukanisa imali yakho ibe ngamahlelo amancane ngenxa yenani leminikelo ngesikhathi senkonzo usuke uboshelwe kulelo sonto futhi uhamba phezu kwamagobolondo amaqanda ezezimali futhi awukuqapheli. UNkulunkulu uthanda umuphi onamileyo. Ububele beNkosi uJesu Kristu abukho ezimweni eziningi. Masibe nomusa kulabo abaswele. Khumbula indaba kaLazaru nesicebi, uma unelungelo. Kepha lapha kugxilwe kubaphathi besonto; nikeza izixuku ezimpofu ikhefu kusuka ebugqilini bamaqoqo amane kuya kwayishumi neminikelo enkonzweni eyodwa. Yondla abantu bakaNkulunkulu ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu leqiniso futhi ukhanyise imithwalo yabo. Ukwahlulela kuyeza futhi kuzoqala kuqala endlini kaNkulunkulu nokusuka phezulu kuye phansi.
Abantu basezinhlotsheni ezahlukahlukene zobugqila, abanye bahle futhi bayadingeka njengomshado, banikela ngempilo yakho kuKristu. Unezibopho zobusathane ezinjengokuthi, ukunqoba abantu abavamile abanye babaholi besonto. Khumbula ukugqilazwa kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibhithe nokuthi bahlupheka kanjani ngabaphathi bomsebenzi. Namuhla kuyinto efanayo kuphela abaphathi bemisebenzi abanye abelusi bezimvu zikaNkulunkulu. Iningi lazo seliphenduke elinobudlova, umuntu odaliwe wenza imithetho egqilaze izingane zikaNkulunkulu. Ngiyamangala injabulo yamaKrestu athile kulesi simo esingesihle. Kukhumbuza umuntu ngamaHubo 137: 1-4. Noma ngubani iNdodana emkhululayo uyokhululeka impela. Udumisa futhi ucule kanjani iculo leNkosi ngohlelo olungajwayelekile olungalandeli izwi likaNkulunkulu kepha oluhlose ukudala imibuso yezenkolo ngaphandle kokwesaba uNkulunkulu; nokubamba abantu ebugqilini.
Lesi yisikhathi sokuzihlola wazi ukuthi usekugqilazweni yini. Awusoze wajabulela uthando nenduduzo yeNkosi ngamanga. Lesi yisimo lapho usekugqilazweni futhi kungenzeka ukuthi awazi. Abaningi esontweni namuhla basebugqilini obukhulu futhi abazi. Kumele uqaphele ukuthi usekugqilazweni ukuze ukwazi ukukhalela ukukhululwa. Ukugqilazwa ngokwenkolo kuyinto embi kakhulu ongayibona futhi uphume kuyo. Uma uphonsa iselesele emanzini abilayo lizovele liphume ngokushesha kodwa uma ufaka iselesele elifanayo esitsheni samanzi apholile lizohlala lizolile. Njengoba ufaka ukushisa esitsheni, ixoxo lihlala likhululeke lize life esitsheni njengoba izinga lokushisa kwamanzi landa. Lokhu yikho kanye okwenzekayo kubantu kwezinye zalezi zindawo zezenkolo. Bayakhululeka, baqale ukungena ezinhlelweni eziningi zesonto futhi kancane kancane bakhohlwe izwi likaNkulunkulu. Ziyakhula ezimfundisweni zabantu futhi azi ukuthi zisezindongeni. Lokhu kungukugqilazwa futhi abaningi abazi ukuthi basenkingeni. Abaningi bafa ebugqilini.
Woza kuJesu Kristu ngokushesha, umamukele, noma unikezelwe kabusha ukuze uphume ebugqilini. Phumani phakathi kwabo nizahlukanise, 2nd KwabaseKorinte 6:17. Lapho uJesu Kristu engekho khona isikhungo noma owokuqala manje sekuyithempeli lezithixo. Uzokwazi ukuthi (isonto) uJesu Kristu ubekwa kuphi kuqala futhi uma kungenjalo omunye unkulunkulu uphethe lapho. Thatha ibhayibheli lakho hamba ufune isonto eliphilayo lebhayibheli ngoba usekugqilazweni futhi awazi. Qaphela kakhulu izimfundiso zabantu, noma ngabe zibukeka zizinhle kangakanani, uma zingenasisekelo esingokomBhalo kuyimfundiso yomuntu. Uma iNdodana ikukhulula, uzobe ukhululekile impela. Thola lapho unobuthakathaka khona empilweni yakho okuhlala kukuvumela ukuba ube sebugqilini. Abanye abantu bathembele kwabanye ukuthi bathandazele izinkinga zabo futhi babatshele ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubaphatheleni. Uma ukuvumela lokhu njalo, kungenxa yokuthi ubuthakathaka emthandazweni noma uzila ukudla noma wethemba uNkulunkulu noma okuningi kakhulu; lokhu kukungenisa ebugqilini bomuntu onikeze la mandla kuye. Abanye baze bakukhokhise noma unikeze izipho ezinkulu ukuthi ukhulume noNkulunkulu ubamele, lokhu kungubugqila. Okokugcina wonke amakholwa ayindodana kaNkulunkulu, ungathengisi ilungelo lakho lokuzalwa. UNkulunkulu akanabo abazukulu. Ungumntwana kaNkulunkulu noma ungesiye. Balekela ebugqilini kuJesu Kristu.
