Uyazi ukuthi ungaphezu kwemvelo?
Uma wamukela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi noMsindisi wakho uba yisidalwa esisha. Ngokulalela uyakuqinisekisa lokhu ngokuguquka, ngokubhabhadiswa, bese ucela iNkosi isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele. Le nqubo iqala impilo yakho engaphezu kwemvelo. UJohn 3:15 uthi lowo okholwa kuye angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Njengamakholwa bavela kulayini omude wabantu abangaphezu kwemvelo benokuthembela kuNkulunkulu. Yonke into ebazungezile futhi emayelana nabo ihlukile, ayijwayelekile futhi ayijwayelekile, (Heb. 11).
UNkulunkulu uhlukile, akajwayelekile futhi uyinqaba; kanjalo nezenzo zakhe. Izenzo zakhe zitholakala kubantu bakhe, abakholwayo. Wonke amakholwa eqiniso ahlukile, angajwayelekile futhi ayinqaba. Lokhu kungukusebenza kukaMoya oNgcwele. UNkulunkulu akajwayelekile. Cabanga ngoGen. 1: 2-3, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wahamba ebusweni bamanzi; uNkulunkulu wathi makube khona ukukhanya kwaba khona ukukhanya. KuGen. 2: 7 uJehova uNkulunkulu wambumba umuntu ngomhlabathi, waphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila; umuntu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo. Lezi yizenzo zikaNkulunkulu ezingaphezu kwemvelo. Ungabona ukuthi sinamandla angaphezu kwavamile kepha ukubonakaliswa kwethu okungaphezu kwamandla emvelo kuza ekuhumusheni. UNkulunkulu wenza ubuthongo obunzima bamehlela u-Adamu futhi wathatha ubambo ku-Adamu ukwenza u-Eva umama wazo zonke izinto eziphilayo. Konke lokhu kuyizenzo zikaNkulunkulu ezejwayelekile, ezehlukile nezingajwayelekile. UNkulunkulu ungaphezu kwemvelo, uNkulunkulu unguMoya.
Ukuze kube namandla angaphezu kwemvelo, kuthatha uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu wakhuluma izinto zaba khona ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, uMoya oNgcwele. Abesilisa nabesifazane bakaNkulunkulu babonisa okungaphezu kwemvelo ngenxa yobukhona bukaMoya oNgcwele kubo noma kubo njengakuTestamente Elidala. KuGen. 2: 19-20, u-Adam waqamba zonke izidalwa eziphilayo uNkulunkulu amletha kuzo. Lokhu kungenziwa kuphela ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, ukuhlakanipha kanye nolwazi loMoya oNgcwele. Iningi lezidalwa zisabizwa ngegama u-Adam azibiza ngalo eNsimini yase-Edeni.
Noma yini u-Abela no-Enoke abayenzayo ukuze bakhunjulwe kakhulu ngoNkulunkulu ingeyamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. KuGen. 4: 4 uAbela wayazi ukuthi yini azoyinikela kuNkulunkulu ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. Wanikela kuNkulunkulu ngewundlu elineGazi lokuthethelelwa kwesono. Akekho owaziyo ukuthi kufanele enzeni ngesono, kepha u-Abela waba nesambulo esingaphezu kwemvelo salokho okwamukelekayo eNkosini kuyo yonke iminyaka. Kwakuyisithunzi segazi likaJesu Kristu. Umnikelo ka-Abela wajabulisa uNkulunkulu. UKayini wayengeyena owemvelo njengoba kukhonjisiwe ngomnikelo wakhe nomphumela wazo zonke izenzo zakhe. UMoya kaNkulunkulu unikeza izambulo nabantu bakaNkulunkulu abangaphezu kwemvelo.
U-Enoke wajabulisa uNkulunkulu ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo esingazi okuningi ngawo. Wamjabulisa uNkulunkulu, waze uNkulunkulu wambuyisela ezulwini ngaphandle kokunambitha ukufa. Usaphila futhi ulinde amanye amakholwa angaphezu kwawemvelo eNkosini uJesu Kristu. Umbhoshongo omkhulu eGibhithe unolwazi oluningi ngezinsuku zangaphambi nangemva kukazamcolo kaNowa; kufakazelwa ukuthi iphiramidi yasinda kuzamcolo owaqeda umhlaba wokuqala ngaphandle kwalabo abasindiswa noNowa. Manje ake ucabange isikhashana ukuthi ngubani owazala u-Enoke, futhi ngubani owayenguyise kaMethusela; nencazelo kaMethuselah? Inhloso kaMethuselah yagcwaliseka ngosuku luni? Ngubani owambiza ngoMethuselah, wayazi ngani ukumnika igama elinje. UMethusela usho unyaka kazamcolo.
U-Enoke wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu ubudala (Gen. 5:21) ngenkathi ezala indodana yakhe uMethusela; ivesi 22 lathi, "U-Enoke wasebenza noNkulunkulu, ivesi 24, futhi wayengeyena uNkulunkulu amthathayo." UNkulunkulu uthathe u-Enoke eneminyaka engama-365, wayenamandla angaphezu kwavamile. U-Enoke wahlala isikhashana emhlabeni, wajabulisa uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi esifushane, washiya isiprofetho etsheni, iphiramidi kanye negama elithi Methuselah. Wabiza indodana yakhe uMethusela ngesambulo. UNkulunkulu wavumela u-Enoke ukuthi abone isahlulelo esizayo ngozamcolo futhi azi ukuthi ngonyaka indodana yakhe uMethuselah efa ngawo uzamcolo uzofika.
Lesi yisenzo esingaphezu kwemvelo, phakathi kukaNkulunkulu wabantu abangaphezu kwemvelo nabantu abangaphezu kwamandla emvelo. UNkulunkulu wavumela u-Enoke ukuthi azi ngozamcolo, usizi lomuntu emhlabeni, ububi obukhula njengoJohn umambuli ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo omoya akhonjiswa izehlakalo zesikhathi sokugcina sesahlulelo. U-Enoch wayazi ukuthi ukwahlulela kuyeza kepha uNkulunkulu wamguqula ukuthi angaboni ukufa, ngoba wayemjabulisa uNkulunkulu futhi lokho kwakungaphezu kwamandla emvelo. Bangaki kithi namuhla abanobufakazi bokujabulisa uNkulunkulu?
UMethusela waphila iminyaka eyi-782 ngemuva kokuzala uLameka, owazala uNowa. UMethusela, uLameka noNowa baphila iminyaka engama-600 elandelayo ndawonye, indodana, ubaba nomkhulu. UMethusela wayehlala noyise u-Enoch, wayazi umsebenzi kayise noNkulunkulu. Kumele ngabe ubuze uyise ukuthi kungani amqamba igama lokuthi uMethuseli, nokuthi kusho ukuthini. Lokhu yinto okumele ngabe yamqondisa impilo yakhe yonke ukuze abalekele ukwahlulelwa. ULameka waphila iminyaka eyi-182 futhi wazala uNowa Gen. 5:29. KuGen. 7: 6 ithi uNowa wayeneminyaka engama-600 lapho uzamcolo wamanzi wawuphezu komhlaba. Lowo kwaba unyaka wokugcina kaMethusela emhlabeni. Khumbula unyaka kazamcolo incazelo kaMethuselah. Ubaba kaNowa uLameka wafa eminyakeni emi-5 ngaphambi kukazamcolo, isihawu sikaNkulunkulu.
Umkhulu kaNowa uMethusela wafa ngawo lowo nyaka kazamcolo; ngokusobala, ngaphambi kukazamcolo, ngoba ngegama lakhe kwakufanele afe ngaphambi kukazamcolo, Amen. Konke lokhu kuyizenzo zikaNkulunkulu ezingaphezu kwemvelo ezimpilweni zabantu abangaphezu kwemvelo. Nawe futhi ungaphezu kwemvelo uma ungokaJesu Kristu. Unyaka wezikhukhula, unyaka wokuhumusha uma ukholwa futhi ulindele ukuthi ungaphezu kwemvelo. Noma nini lapho kukhulunywa khona ngozamcolo, uNowa, uLameka, uMethusela, u-Enoke noNkulunkulu bonke badlala; ngenxa yamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, isambulo negama, uMethuselah.
KuGen. 15: 4 iNkosi uNkulunkulu yathi ku-Abrama - “kodwa lowo ozophuma ezibilinini zakho nguye ozoba yindlalifa yakho.” U-Abrahama wazala u-Isaka eneminyaka engama-99 kanti uSara wayeneminyaka engama-90. Lokhu kungenzeka kuphela kubantu abangaphezu kwemvelo, abahlukile, abajwayelekile futhi abaxakile. UNkulunkulu wakhuluma no-Abrahama izikhathi eziningana, njengoba enza kumakholwa eqiniso. Wathembisa u-Abrahama ukuthi wayezoba nezingane ezifana nezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi; okuyingxenye yethu ngokukholwa, futhi lokhu kungohlu lozalo lwamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. Ingabe uyingxenye yalokhu? UJoseph umzukulu ka-Abraham wafakazela ngezinkulumo nangezenzo zakhe ukuthi naye wayedlula imvelo.
UMark 16: 15-18, ukhuluma kabanzi ngabantu abangaphezu kwemvelo. Uma ungakukholwa lokhu ngakho-ke okungaphezu kwamandla emvelo akunakubonakaliswa kuwe. Funda iZenzo 28: 1-9 futhi uzobona amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo esebenza. Abaningi bethu makholwa namuhla abazi ukuthi sinamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo, sivuke futhi sikhuphuke njengokhozi olunguwe; konke kusegameni likaJesu Kristu inkosi yethu, amen.
UJacob wayenezikhathi ezinzima nezimbi kodwa uyabona ukuthi wayenamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. U-Isaac wayeshade noRebeka iminyaka engama-20 ngaphambi kokuba abelethe. KuGen. 25:23 iNkosi yathi omkhulu uzokhonza omncane. Ngesikhathi besesibelethweni sikanina iNkosi yathi, UJakobe ngiyamthanda futhi u-Esawu ngiyamzonda. UJakobe walwa neNgelosi kaNkulunkulu wanqoba, (Gen. 32: 24-30 - ngoba ngibonane noNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso futhi impilo yami isindile) lawa ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. Wabusiswa yiNgelosi kaNkulunkulu (indoda alwa nayo ubusuku bonke) futhi ekugcineni wakhiqiza izizwe eziyishumi nambili uma u-Israyeli. Ngokwesenzo esingaphezu kwemvelo uJakobe wakwazi ukuthi kuGene 49: 1-2 kubantwana bakhe, "hlanganani ndawonye, ukuze nginitshele okuzokwehlela ezinsukwini zokugcina." UJacob watshela izingane zakhe ngekusasa labo; lawa kwakungamandla okusebenza angaphezu kwawemvelo kuJakobe futhi angasebenza nakumakholwa eqiniso eNkosini uJesu Kristu. Bheka ukuthi ungowaleli qembu yini; ngoba ukuhunyushwa maduze nokungazelelwe kwenzelwe labo abathandayo nabalindele ukuvela kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. Kuyisenzo esingaphezu kwemvelo kulabo abaseqenjini elingaphezu kwemvelo, nguMoya oNgcwele.
