UMoya oNgcwele

UMoya oNgcwele nguNkulunkulu osebenzayo - dala, khuluma, sishintshe, uhlale kithi, usebenze kithi. Yize uMoya oNgcwele ungakwenza lokhu ngaphandle kokwazi kwethu, kuyasiza futhi kubalulekile ukuthi sifunde kabanzi ngakho.

UMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu

UMoya oNgcwele unezimpawu zikaNkulunkulu, ulinganiswa noNkulunkulu, futhi wenza izinto ezenziwa nguNkulunkulu kuphela. NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele ungcwele - ungcwele kangangokuthi kuyisono ukuhlukumeza uMoya oNgcwele njengoba kuyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu (Hebheru 10,29). Ukuhlambalaza, ukuhlambalaza uMoya oNgcwele kuyisono esingenakuthethelelwa (Mathewu 12,32). Lokhu kusho ukuthi umoya ungcwele ngokwemvelo futhi awunikezwanga ubungcwele, njengoba kwenzeka ngethempeli.

NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele ungunaphakade (KumaHeberu 9,14). NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele ukuyo yonke indawo (AmaHubo 139,7-9). NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele wazi konke (1. AbaseKorinte 2,10-11; Johane 14,26). UMoya oNgcwele uyadala (Jobe 33,4; IHubo 104,30) futhi udala izimangaliso (Mathewu 12,28; AmaRoma 15,18-19) futhi unikela emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu. Iziqephu eziningana zibiza uYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele njengobunkulunkulu ngokulinganayo. Engxoxweni ngezipho zikaMoya, uPawulu ubhekisela ekwakhiweni okufanayo kukaMoya, iNkosi noNkulunkulu (1. AbaseKorinte 12,4-6). Uphetha incwadi yakhe ngomthandazo ophindwe kathathu (2. AbaseKorinte 13,14). UPetru uqala incwadi ngelinye uhlobo lwezingxenye ezintathu (1. UPetrus 1,2). Nakuba lezi zibonelo zingebona ubufakazi bobunye bukaZiqu-zintathu, ziyawusekela lombono.

Ifomula yobhapathizo iqinisa isibonakaliso sobunye obunjalo: “Nibabhapathize egameni likaYise, neleNdodana, nelikaMoya oNgcwele” ( Mathewu 28:19 ). Laba abathathu banegama, elibhekisela ekubeni munye.Uma uMoya oNgcwele wenza into, uNkulunkulu uyayenza. Uma uMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma, uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma. Uma u-Ananiya eqamba amanga kuMoya oNgcwele, waqamba amanga kuNkulunkulu (Izenzo 5: 3-4). UPetru uthi u-Ananiya akazange aqambe amanga kummeleli kaNkulunkulu, kodwa kuNkulunkulu ngokwakhe.” Abantu abaqambi amanga emandleni angenabuntu.

Embhalweni uPawulu uthi amaKristu ayithempeli likaNkulunkulu (1. AbaseKorinte 3,16), kwenye uthi siyithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele (1. AbaseKorinte 6,19). Siyithempeli lokukhulekela ubuNkulunkulu hhayi amandla angenabuntu. Lapho uPawulu ebhala ukuthi siyithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele, ubonisa ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu.

Ngakho uMoya oNgcwele noNkulunkulu bayafana: “Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi futhi bezila ukudla, uMoya oNgcwele wathi, Ngahlukaniseni noBarnaba noSawulu, baye emsebenzini engibabizele wona” (Izenzo 1)3,2). Lapha uMoya oNgcwele usebenzisa izabizwana zoqobo, njengoba noNkulunkulu enza. Ngokufanayo, uMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma ukuthi ama-Israyeli amlinga futhi amzama, ethi: “Ngafunga entukuthelweni yami ngathi: ‘Abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami’ (Hebheru 3,7-enye). Kodwa uMoya oNgcwele awulona nje elinye igama likaNkulunkulu. UMoya oNgcwele uzimele ngaphandle kukaYise neNdodana, njengoba kwase kubonisiwe ekubhapathizweni kukaJesu (Mathewu 3,16-17). Laba abathathu bazimele kodwa nokho munye.UMoya oNgcwele wenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu. Sizalwa nguNkulunkulu futhi (NgokukaJohane 1:12), okufana nokuzalwa ngoMoya oNgcwele (Johane ). 3,5). UMoya oNgcwele uyindlela uNkulunkulu ahlala ngayo kithi (Kwabase-Efesu 2:22; 1. UJohannes 3,24; 4,13). UMoya oNgcwele uhlala kithi (KwabaseRoma 8,11; 1. AbaseKorinte 3,16) - futhi ngenxa yokuthi umoya uhlala kithi, singasho futhi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uhlala kithi.

UMoya oNgcwele ungowomuntu uqobo

  • IBhayibheli lichaza uMoya oNgcwele njengonezimpawu zobuntu:
  • Umoya uyaphila (Roma 8,11; 1. AbaseKorinte 3,16)
  • UMoya uyakhuluma (IzE 8,29; 10,19;11,12; I-21,11; 1 Thimothewu 4,1; amaHebheru 3,7 njll)
  • UMoya kwesinye isikhathi usebenzisa isabizwana sobuntu “Mina” (IzE 10,20;13,2)
  • Umoya kungakhulunywa nawo, ulingwe, ulile, uthukwe, futhi unukwe (IzE 5,3; 9; Kwabase-Efesu 4,30; amaHebheru 10,29; Mathewu 12,31)
  • UMoya uyahola, ulamule, ubize futhi uyale (Roma 8,14; 26; Izenzo 13,2; 20,28)

Roman 8,27 ukhuluma ngekhanda lengqondo. UMoya wenza izinqumo - uMoya oNgcwele wenze isinqumo (Izenzo 15,28). Ingqondo iyazi futhi isebenza (1. AbaseKorinte 2,11; I-12,11). Akayena amandla angenabuntu uJesu wabiza uMoya oNgcwele ngokuthi iParaclete - okuhunyushwa ngokuthi uMduduzi, uMluleki noma uMvikeli.

“Futhi ngiyakucela kuBaba, futhi uyoninika omunye uMduduzi ukuba abe nani kuze kube phakade: uMoya weqiniso, izwe elingenakumamukela, ngoba lingaboni, futhi alimazi. Nina niyamazi, ngokuba uhlala nani futhi ukini” (Johane 14,16-17).

Umeluleki wokuqala wabafundi kwakunguJesu. Njengoba efundisa, efakaza, elahla, ehola, futhi embula iqiniso, uMoya oNgcwele (Johane 1 Kor.4,26; I-15,26; I-16,8; 13-14). Zonke lezi izindima zomuntu siqu. UJohane usebenzisa isimo sowesilisa segama lesiGreki elithi parakletos ngoba kwakungadingekile ukusebenzisa isimo sokungathathi hlangothi. Ngo Johannes16,14 ngisho isabizwana somuntu wesilisa esithi "he" sisetshenziswa ngemuva kokusetshenziswa kwegama elithi Geist. Bekungaba lula ukushintshela esabizwaneni somuntu esimaphakathi, kodwa uJohannes akakwenzi lokho. Umoya ubizwa ngokuthi "yena". Nokho, uhlelo lolimi alubalulekile kangako. Nokho, kubalulekile ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele ube nezimfanelo zomuntu siqu. Akawona amandla angenabuntu kodwa ungumsizi ohlakaniphile nowaphezulu ophila ngaphakathi kwethu.

Umoya wesivumelwano esidala

Ayikho ingxenye eBhayibhelini enesihloko esithi “Umoya Ongcwele”. Sifunda okuncane kuMoya oNgcwele lapha nalaphaya lapho imibhalo yeBhayibheli ikhuluma Ngaye. ITestamente Elidala lisinikeza amazwibela ambalwa nje. Umoya wawukhona ekudalweni kwempilo (1. mose 1,2; Jobe 33,4;34,14). Umoya kaNkulunkulu wagcwalisa uBhezaleli ngamandla okwakha itabernakele (2. UMose 31,3-5). Wagcwalisa uMose futhi weza nabadala abangu-70 (4. mose 11,25). Wagcwalisa uJoshuwa ngokuhlakanipha njengomholi, njengoba nje noSamsoni egcwele amandla nekhono lokulwa (5. UMose 34,9; Ijaji [isikhala]]6,34; I-14,6). UMoya kaNkulunkulu wanikwa uSawule wabuye wathathwa (1. Sam 10,6; I-16,14). UMoya wanika uDavide amapulani ethempeli (1. 2 IziKr8,12). UMoya waphefumulela abaprofethi ukuba bakhulume (4. UMose 24,2; 2. Sat 23,2; 1. 1 IziKr2,18;2. 1 IziKr5,1; 20,14; UHezekeli 11,5; uZakariya 7,12;2. UPetrus 1,21).

ETestamenteni Elisha, kwakunguMoya oNgcwele owashukumisa abantu abafana no-Elizabethe, uZakariya, noSimeyoni ukuba bakhulume (Luka 1,41; I-67; 2,25-32). UJohane uMbhapathizi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela ekuzalweni kwakhe (Luka 1,15). Umsebenzi wakhe obaluleke kakhulu kwakuwukumemezela ukuza kukaJesu Kristu, owayezobhapathiza abantu hhayi ngamanzi kuphela kodwa nangoMoya oNgcwele nangomlilo (Luka 3,16).

UMoya oNgcwele noJesu

UMoya oNgcwele wayekhona kakhulu futhi ebandakanyeka empilweni kaJesu. UMoya wavusa ukukhulelwa kwakhe (Mathewu 1,20), walala phezu kwakhe ngemva kokubhapathizwa kwakhe ( Mathewu 3,16), wamyisa ehlane (Lk4,1) futhi yamsiza ukuba ashumayele izindaba ezinhle ( Luka 4,18). UJesu wakhipha amadimoni ngosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele2,28). NgoMoya oNgcwele, wazinikela njengomhlatshelo wesono sesintu (Heb9,14) futhi ngoMoya ofanayo wavuswa kwabafileyo (Roma 8,11).

UJesu wafundisa ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uzokhuluma ngezikhathi zokushushiswa kwabafundi bakhe (Mathewu 10,19-20). Wabatshela ukuthi babhapathize abalandeli bakaJesu egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele8,19). Futhi ngaphezu kwalokho ukuthi uNkulunkulu unikeza uMoya oNgcwele kubo bonke abantu lapho becela kuye (Luka 11,13). Ezinye zezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu uJesu azisho ngoMoya oNgcwele ziseVangelini likaJohane. Okokuqala abantu kwakumele bazalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya (Joh 3,5). Abantu badinga ukuvuselelwa ngokomoya futhi akuveli kubo, kodwa kuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu. Noma uMoya ungabonakali, wenza umehluko ezimpilweni zethu (v. 8).

UJesu wafundisa futhi: “Owomileyo, woza kimi, aphuze; Okholwa yimi, njengokusho kwemibhalo, kuye kugobhoza imifudlana yamanzi aphilayo phakathi kwakhe. Kepha lokhu wakusho ngoMoya ababeyakumamukela abakholwa nguye; ngoba umoya wawungakafiki; ngoba uJesu wayengakakhazinyuliswa.” ( Joh 7,37-enye).

UMoya oNgcwele wenelisa ukoma kwangaphakathi. Usenza sikwazi ukuba nobuhlobo noNkulunkulu esidalelwe yena. Samukela uMoya ngokuza kuJesu futhi uMoya oNgcwele ugcwalisa izimpilo zethu.

Kusho uJohannes “ngokuba umoya wawungakafiki; ngokuba uJesu wayengakakhazinyuliswa” (v. 39).. UMoya wayesegcwalise amadoda nabesifazane ngaphambi kokuphila kukaJesu, kodwa uzofika ngokushesha ngendlela entsha enamandla - ngePhentekoste. UMoya manje usunikiwe kubo bonke ababiza igama leNkosi (IzE 2,38-39). UJesu wathembisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi uMoya weqiniso wawuyonikezwa labo ababeyohlala kubo4,16-18). Lomoya weqiniso uyafana nokuthi uJesu ngokwakhe weza kubafundi bakhe ( ivesi 18 ), ngoba unguMoya kaKristu noMoya kaYise - othunywe uJesu noYise ( Joh.5,26). UMoya wenza kube nokwenzeka ukuba uJesu atholakale kuwo wonke umuntu nokuthi umsebenzi Wakhe uqhubeke.UJesu wathembisa ukuthi uMoya wawuyobafundisa abafundi futhi ubakhumbuze ngakho konke uJesu ayebafundise kona (Johane 1 Kor.4,26). UMoya wabafundisa izinto ababengenakuziqonda ngaphambi kokuvuka kukaJesu6,12-enye).

UMoya ukhuluma ngoJesu (Johane 15,26;16,24). Akazikhangisi, kodwa uholela abantu kuJesu Kristu nakuYise. Akakhulumi ngaye, kuphela njengoba uBaba ethanda (Johane 16,13). Kuhle ukuthi uJesu akasahlali nathi ngoba uMoya ungasebenza ezigidini zabantu (Johane 16,7). UMoya ushumayela ivangeli futhi ubonise umhlaba isono kanye necala lawo futhi ugcwalise isidingo sawo sokulunga nokulunga ( iv. 8-10 ). UMoya oNgcwele ukhomba abantu kuJesu njengesixazululo sabo secala kanye nomthombo wabo wokulunga.

UMoya neBandla

UJohane uMbhapathizi wathi uJesu wayezobhapathiza abantu ngoMoya oNgcwele (Marku 1,8). Lokhu kwenzeka ngePhentekoste ngemva kokuvuka kwakhe, lapho uMoya unika abafundi amandla amasha (IZenzo 2). Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukukhuluma izilimi eziqondwa abantu bezinye izizwe (v. 6), futhi izimangaliso ezifanayo zenzeka ngezikhathi ezihlukahlukene lapho ibandla likhula ( IzEnzo ZabaPhostoli 10,44-46; 1th9,1-6), kodwa akushiwo ukuthi lezi zimangaliso zenzeka kubo bonke abantu abaye bathola indlela yabo ekukholweni kobuKristu.

UPawule uthi wonke amakholwa abunjwa abe umzimba munye, ibandla, kuMoya oNgcwele (1. AbaseKorinte 12,13). UMoya oNgcwele unikezwe wonke umuntu okholwayo (Galathiya 3,14). Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izimangaliso zenzeka noma cha, wonke amakholwa abhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele. Akudingekile ukufuna kanye nethemba ngesimangaliso esithile ukufakazela ukuthi umuntu ubhabhadiswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.

IBhayibheli alidingi ukuba ikholwa libhapathizwe ngoMoya oNgcwele. Kunalokho, wonke amakholwa akhuthazwa ukuba agcwaliswe njalo ngoMoya oNgcwele (Kwabase-Efesu 5,18) ukuze umuntu asabele ekuqondisweni nguMoya. Lobu budlelwano buyaqhubeka hhayi umcimbi owodwa. Esikhundleni sokubheka izimangaliso, kufanele sifune uNkulunkulu futhi simvumele anqume ukuthi izimangaliso zenzeka nini futhi nini. UPawulu uchaza kakhulu amandla kaNkulunkulu hhayi ngezimangaliso zenyama ezenzekayo, kodwa ngoshintsho olwenzeka empilweni yomuntu - ithemba, uthando, ukubekezela, ukukhonza, ukuqonda, ukubekezela nokuhlupheka, kanye nokushumayela ngesibindi ( KwabaseRoma 15,13; 2. AbaseKorinte 12,9; Kwabase-Efesu 3,7; 16-18; AbaseKolose 1,11; 28-29; 2. UThimothi 1,7-8). Nalezi zimangaliso singazibiza ngezimangaliso zenyama, ngoba uNkulunkulu ushintsha izimpilo zabantu.Izenzo zabaPhostoli zikhombisa ukuthi uMoya wasiza ibandla ukuba likhule. UMoya wenza abantu bakwazi ukwabelana futhi bafakaze ngoJesu (Izenzo zabaPhostoli 1,8). Wenza abafundi bakwazi ukushumayela (IzE 4,8, 31, , ; 6,10). Wanikeza imiyalelo kuFiliphu futhi kamuva wamhlwitha (IzE 8,29; 39). UMoya walikhuthaza iBandla futhi wamisa abaholi (IzE 9,31; 20,28). Wakhuluma noPetru kanye neBandla lase-Antiyokiya (IzE 10,19; 11,12; I-13,2). Wasebenza e-Agabu lapho ebona kusengaphambili indlala futhi waholela uPawulu ukuba abaleke (Izenzo Zabaphostoli 11,28; I-13,9-10). Wahola uPawulu noBarnaba endleleni yabo (Izenzo 13,4; I-16,6-7) futhi yenza umhlangano wabaphostoli eJerusalema ukuba ufinyelele esinqumweni (IZenzo 15,28). Wathumela uPawulu eJerusalema futhi wamxwayisa ( IzEnzo 20,22:23-2; 1,11). IBandla lalikhona futhi lakhula ngokusebenza kukaMoya oNgcwele kumakholwa.

Umoya namuhla

UMoya oNgcwele ubandakanyekile ezimpilweni zamakholwa anamhlanje:

  • Usiholela ekuphendukeni futhi asinike impilo entsha (Johane 16,8; 3,5-6)
  • Uhlala kithi, uyasifundisa futhi uyasihola (1. AbaseKorinte 2,10-13; Johane 14,16-17,26; AmaRoma 8,14)
  • Uhlangana nathi eBhayibhelini, ngomthandazo nangamanye amaKristu Ungumoya wokuhlakanipha futhi uyasisiza ukuba sibheke izinto ngesibindi, ngothando nangokuzithiba (Efe.1,17; 2. UThimothi 1,7)
  • UMoya usoka izinhliziyo zethu, uyasingcwelisa futhi uyasishintsha (Roma 2,29; Kwabase-Efesu 1,14)
  • UMoya udala kithi uthando nesithelo sokulunga (Rom5,5; Kwabase-Efesu 5,9; KwabaseGalathiya 5,22-23)
  • UMoya usibeka ebandleni futhi usisiza ukuba siqonde ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu (1. AbaseKorinte 12,13; amaRoma 8,14-16)

Kufanele sikhonze uNkulunkulu ngomoya (Fil3,3; 2. AbaseKorinte 3,6; AmaRoma 7,6; 8,4-5). Sizama ukumthokozisa ( KwabaseGalathiya 6,8). Uma siholwa nguMoya oNgcwele, usinika ukuphila nokuthula (Roma 8,6). Ngaye sinokungena kuBaba (Efesu 2,18). Uyasisiza ebuthakathakeni bethu futhi uyasimela (KwabaseRoma 8,26-enye).

UMoya oNgcwele futhi usinika izipho zomoya. Unikeza abaholi beBandla (Efesu 4,11), Abantu abenza imisebenzi yokupha eyisisekelo ebandleni (KwabaseRoma 12,6-8) nalabo abanamakhono akhethekile emisebenzi ekhethekile (1. AbaseKorinte 12,4-11). Akekho onazo zonke izipho futhi akuzona zonke izipho ezinikezwa wonke umuntu ( amavesi 28-30 ). Zonke izipho, ezingokomoya noma cha, kufanele zisetshenziselwe umsebenzi wonkana - iBandla lonke (1. AbaseKorinte 12,7; I-14,12). Sonke isipho sibalulekile (1. AbaseKorinte 12,22-enye).

Kuze kube manje sesamukele ulibo lukaMoya osithembisa okukhulu kakhulu esikhathini esizayo (Roma ). 8,23; 2. AbaseKorinte 1,22; 5,5; Kwabase-Efesu 1,13-enye).

UMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu. Konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kwenziwa nguMoya oNgcwele. Ngakho-ke uPawulu uyasikhuthaza ukuba siphile ngoMoya oNgcwele futhi ngaye (KwabaseGalathiya 5,25; Kwabase-Efesu 4,30; 1. Thes 5,19). Ngakho-ke asilalele ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uthini. Ngokuba lapho ekhuluma, uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma.
