Zonke izikhali zikaNkulunkulu

Namuhla, ngoKhisimusi, sifunda “izikhali zikaNkulunkulu” kweyabase-Efesu. Uzomangala ukuthi lokhu kuhlobana kanjani ngqo noJesu uMsindisi wethu. UPawulu wabhala le ncwadi ngesikhathi eboshiwe eRoma. Wayebuqaphela ubuthakathaka bakhe futhi wabeka ithemba lakhe lonke kuJesu.

“Elokugcina, qinani eNkosini nasemandleni ayo amakhulu. Hlomani izikhali zikaNkulunkulu, ukuze nimelane namaqhinga kaSathane.” ( Efesu 6,10-enye).

Izikhali zikaNkulunkulu nguJesu Kristu. UPawulu wazigqoka wazigqokisa uJesu. Wayazi ukuthi wayengeke akwazi ukunqoba uSathane eyedwa. Naye bekungafanele akwenze lokhu, ngoba uJesu wayesemnqobile usathane ngaye.

“Kodwa ngoba bonke laba bantwana bayizidalwa zenyama negazi, naye usephenduke umuntu wenyama negazi. Kanjalo waba namandla ngokufa ukumgumbuqela lowo osebenzisa amandla akhe ngokufa, onguSathane.” ( Hebheru 2,14 NGU).

Njengomuntu, uJesu waba njengathi ngaphandle kwesono. Minyaka yonke sigubha ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu. Empilweni yakhe walwa impi enkulu kunazo zonke. UJesu wayezimisele ukufela mina nawe kule mpi. Owasinda wabonakala engumnqobi! “Yeka ukunqoba,” kucabanga udeveli lapho ebona uJesu efa esiphambanweni. Yeka ukuhlulwa okuphelele kuye lapho, ngemva kokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu, eqaphela ukuthi uJesu wayewathathele wonke amandla akhe.

Ingxenye yokuqala yezikhali

Ingxenye yokuqala yezembatho zempi kaNkulunkulu iqukethe Iqiniso, ubulungiswa, ukuthula nokukholwa. Mina nawe sibeke lesi sivikelo kuJesu futhi singamelana nokuhlasela kobuqili kukaSathane. KuJesu siyamelana naye futhi sivikela impilo uJesu asinike yona. Manje sibheka lokhu ngokuningiliziwe.

Ibhande leqiniso

“Ngakho-ke yimani niqine, nibophe izinkalo zenu ngeqiniso.” (Efe 6,14).

Ibhande lethu lenziwe ngeqiniso. Ubani futhi liyini iqiniso? UJesu uthi "Mina ngiyiqiniso!" (Johane 14,6UPawulu wathi ngaye:

“Ngakho-ke akuseyimi engiphilayo, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi” (Galathiya 2,20 Ithemba labo bonke).

Iqiniso lihlala kuwe futhi likhombisa ukuthi ungubani kuJesu. UJesu ukwambula iqiniso futhi akuvumele ubone ubuthakathaka bakho. Uyawabona amaphutha akho. Ngaphandle kukaKristu, uyobe uyisoni esilahlekile. Ngokwabo, abanakho okuhle abangakukhombisa uNkulunkulu. Zonke izono zakho zaziwa nguye. Wakufela ngenkathi uyisoni. Lokho uhlangothi olulodwa lweqiniso. Olunye uhlangothi yilolu: UJesu uyakuthanda ngawo wonke amakhona nemiphetho.
Umsuka weqiniso uthando oluvela kuNkulunkulu!

Izikhali zobulungiswa

“Hlomani izikhali zokulunga” (Efe 6,14).

Isivikelo sesifuba sethu kungukulunga okuvela kuNkulunkulu ngokufa kukaKristu.

“Kuyisifiso sami esikhulu ukuxhunyaniswa naye (uJesu). Kungakho ngingasafuni lutho ngalokho kulunga okusekelwe emthethweni futhi engikuthola ngemizamo yami. Kunalokho, nginaka ukulunga okutholakala ngokukholwa kuKristu—ukulunga okuvela kuNkulunkulu okusekelwe ekukholweni.” 3,9 (GNU)).

UKristu uhlala kuwe ngokulunga kwakhe. Bathola ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu. Uvikelwe ukulunga kwakhe. Jabula kuKristu. Wanqoba isono, umhlaba nokufa. UNkulunkulu wayazi zisuka nje ukuthi ngeke ukwazi ukukwenza wedwa. UJesu wasithathela isijeziso sokufa. Ngegazi lakhe wakhokha zonke izikweletu. Umi ulungisisiwe phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. Bafaka uKrestu. Ukulunga kwakhe kukwenza ube msulwa futhi uqine.
Umsuka wobulungiswa uthando oluvela kuNkulunkulu!

Umlayezo wamabhuthi wokuthula

“Ebethelwe ezinyaweni, ekulungele ukumela ivangeli lokuthula” (Efe 6,14).

Umbono kaNkulunkulu ngomhlaba wonke uwukuthula kwakhe! Cishe eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili edlule, ekuzalweni kukaJesu, lesi sigijimi samenyezelwa uquqaba lwezingelosi: “Inkazimulo nenkazimulo kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, nokuthula emhlabeni kulabo okumthokozisayo. UJesu, iNkosi Yokuthula, uletha ukuthula naye nomaphi lapho eya khona.

“Lokhu ngikukhulume kini ukuze nibe nokuthula kimi. Ezweni uyesaba; kepha yimani isibindi, mina ngilinqobile izwe” (Johane 16,33).

UJesu uhlala kuwe ngokuthula kwakhe. Unokuthula kuKristu ngokukholwa nguKristu. Bathwelwe ukuthula kwakhe futhi baletha ukuthula kwakhe kubo bonke abantu.
Umsuka wokuthula uthando oluvela kuNkulunkulu!

Isihlangu sokukholwa

“Kepha ngaphezu kwakho konke, bambelelani isihlangu sokukholwa” (Efe 6,16).

Isihlangu senziwe ngokholo. Ukukholwa okuzimisele kucima yonke imicibisholo evuthayo yobubi.

“Ukuze aninike amandla ngokwengcebo yenkazimulo yakhe, ukuba niqiniswe ngoMoya wakhe kumuntu wangaphakathi, ukuze ngokholo uKristu ahlale ezinhliziyweni zenu, nigxiliswe, nisekelwe othandweni” (Kwabase-Efesu 3,16-enye).

UKristu uhlala enhliziyweni yakho ngokukholwa kwakhe. Unokholo ngoJesu nangothando lwakhe. Ukukholwa kwabo, okulethwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, kucisha yonke imicibisholo evuthayo yobubi.

“Asifuni ukubheka ngakwesobunxele noma kwesokudla, kodwa kuJesu kuphela. Wasinika ukholo futhi uzolugcina size sifinyelele umgomo wethu. Ngenxa yentokozo enkulu eyayimlindele, uJesu wakhuthazelela ukufa okudelelekile esiphambanweni.” ( 1 Kor2,2 Ithemba labo bonke).
Umsuka wokholo uthando oluvela kuNkulunkulu!

Ingxenye yesibili yezikhali ukulungiselela impi

UPawuli wathi, Hlomani izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu.

“Ngakho-ke thatha zonke izikhali uNkulunkulu akubekele zona! Khona-ke, lapho kufika usuku lapho amabutho omubi ehlasela, 'uhlomile futhi ulungele ukubhekana nawo. Uyokulwa ngempumelelo futhi ekugcineni unqobe.” (Efe 6,13 Ukuhumusha okusha kwe-Geneva).

Isigqoko sokuzivikela nenkemba yizicucu ezimbili zokugcina umKristu okufanele azibambe. Isosha laseRoma lifaka isigqoko sokuzivikela esingazinzile engozini eseduze. Ekugcineni uthatha inkemba, okuwukuphela kwesikhali sakhe esihlaselayo.

Ake sizibeke esimeni esinzima sikaPawulu. IZenzo zabaPhostoli zibika ngokuningiliziwe ngaye nangezinto ezenzeka eJerusalema, ukubanjwa kwakhe ngamaRoma nokuboshwa kwakhe isikhathi eside eKesariya. AmaJuda ambeka amacala abucayi. UPawulu udlulisela icala kumbusi futhi ulethwa eRoma. Ugcinwe esitokisini futhi ulinde ukuthweswa icala enkantolo yenkosi.

Isigqoko sokuzivikela sensindiso

“thathani isigqoko sokuzivikela sensindiso” (Efesu 6,17).

Isigqoko sokuzivikela siyithemba lokusindiswa. UPawulu ubhala ku:

“Kepha thina esingabantwana bemini sithanda ukuba sisangulukile, sigqoke isivikelo sesifuba sokukholwa nothando, nesigqoko sokuzivikela sethemba lensindiso. Ngokuba uNkulunkulu akasimiselanga ulaka, kodwa ukuba sizuze ukusindiswa ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, owasifela, ukuze, noma siphaphama noma silele, siphile kanye naye.” 1. Thesalonika 5,8-10.

UPaul wayazi ngokuqiniseka okukhulu, ngaphandle kwethemba lensindiso, wayengeke ame phambi kombusi. Lesi sahlulelo sasiyindaba yokuphila nokufa.
Uthando lukaNkulunkulu luwumthombo wensindiso.

Inkemba yomoya

“Inkemba yomoya, eyizwi likaNkulunkulu.” (Efe 6,17).

UPawulu usitshela incazelo yezikhali zikaNkulunkulu kanje: “Inkemba kaMoya iyizwi likaNkulunkulu. IZwi likaNkulunkulu kanye noMoya kaNkulunkulu kuxhumene ngendlela engenakuhlukaniswa. IZwi likaNkulunkulu liphefumulelwe ngokomoya. Singaqonda kuphela futhi sisebenzise iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele. Ingabe le ncazelo ilungile? Yebo, uma kuziwa ekutadisheni iBhayibheli nasekufundeni iBhayibheli.

Nokho, ukutadisha iBhayibheli nokufunda nje kukodwa akusona isikhali!

Lokhu ngokusobala kumayelana nenkemba uMoya oNgcwele ayinikeza ikholwa. Lenkemba kaMoya yethulwa njengeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Endabeni yegama elithi "igama" alihunyushwa lisuka ku-"logos" kodwa lihunyushwe elithi "rhema". Leli gama lisho "inkulumo kaNkulunkulu," "eshiwo ngoNkulunkulu," noma "inkulumo kaNkulunkulu." Ngikubeka ngale ndlela: “Izwi eliphefumulelwe futhi lakhulunywa ngoMoya oNgcwele”. UMoya kaNkulunkulu usembulela izwi noma uyalenza liphile. Liyaphinyiswa futhi linomphumela walo. Sifunda enguqulweni evumelanayo yeBhayibheli
kanjena:

“Inkemba yomoya, lelo yizwi elivela kuNkulunkulunikhuleka ngoMoya ngakho konke ukukhuleka nokunxusa ngezikhathi zonke.” (Galathiya 6,17-enye).

Inkemba yomoya iyizwi elivela kuNkulunkulu!

IBhayibheli liyizwi likaNkulunkulu elilotshiwe. Ukuzifunda kuyingxenye ebalulekile yempilo yobuKristu. Sifunda kuwo ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu, wenzeni esikhathini esedlule nasazokwenza ngokuzayo. Yonke incwadi inomlobi wayo. Umbhali weBhayibheli nguNkulunkulu. INdodana kaNkulunkulu yeza kulo mhlaba ukuzovivinywa uSathane, ukumelana nayo futhi ngalokho ihlenge abantu. UJesu waholelwa ehlane nguMoya. Wazila ukudla izinsuku ezingama-40 futhi wabulawa yindlala.

“Kwase kufika umlingi kuye, wathi: ‘Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yisho lawa matshe abe yizinkwa. Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kulotshiwe (Dut 8,3): “Umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngawo wonke amazwi aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu” ( Mathewu 4,3-enye).

Lapha sibona ukuthi uJesu walamukela kanjani leliZwi kuMoya kaNkulunkulu njengempendulo kaSathane. Akukhona ngokuthi ubani ongacaphuna kangcono iBhayibheli. Cha! Konke noma lutho. Udeveli wangabaza igunya likaJesu. UJesu kwakungadingeki athethelele ubundodana bakhe kudeveli. UJesu wathola ubufakazi kuNkulunkulu uYise ngemva kokubhapathizwa kwakhe: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo”.

Izwi ngomthandazo, liphefumulelwe futhi likhulunywa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu

UPawulu unxusa abase-Efesu ukuthi benze umthandazo ophefumulelwe nguMoya kaNkulunkulu.

“Khulekani ngezikhathi zonke ngokunxusa nangokunxusa ngoMoya, nilinda ngokuqinisela okukhulu ekukhulekeleni abangcwele bonke.” ( Kwabase-Efesu 6,18 Ukuhumusha okusha kwe-Geneva).

Egameni elithi "umthandazo" nelithi "umthandazo" ngikhetha "ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu". Ngikhuluma noNkulunkulu ngamazwi nangemicabango ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ukuthandaza ngomoya kusho ukuthi: “Ngibheka kuNkulunkulu futhi ngithole KUYE lokho okufanele ngikusho futhi ngikhuluma intando yakhe esimweni esithile. Iwukukhuluma noNkulunkulu okuphefumulelwe uMoya kaNkulunkulu. Ngihlanganyela emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu, lapho esevele esebenza khona. UPawulu wanxusa abafundi bakhe ukuba bangagcini nje ngokukhuluma noNkulunkulu ngenxa yabo bonke abangcwele, kodwa ikakhulukazi yena.

“Futhi ningikhulekele (uPawulu) ukuba ngiphiwe izwi, lapho ngivula umlomo wami, ukuba ngishumayele ngesibindi imfihlakalo yevangeli, engingelosi yakhe engiboshwe ngamaketanga, ukuze ngikhulume ngayo ngesibindi njengoba kufanele” Kwabase-Efesu 6,19-enye).

Lapha uPawulu ucela usizo lwawo wonke amakholwa ngomsebenzi wakhe obaluleke kakhulu. Kulo mbhalo usebenzisa “ngokungagwegwesi nangesibindi,” futhi ngokusobala isikhuthazo, lapho exoxisana nombusi. Wayedinga amazwi afanele, isikhali esifanele, ukuze asho lokho uNkulunkulu amcela ukuba akusho. Umthandazo yileso sikhali. Ukuxhumana phakathi kwakho noNkulunkulu. Isisekelo sobudlelwano obujulile bangempela. Umthandazo kaPawuli womuntu siqu:

“Baba, engcebweni yenkazimulo yakho, baphe amandla uMoya wakho onawo ukubapha nokubaqinisa ngaphakathi. Ngokukholwa kwabo, sengathi uJesu angahlala ezinhliziyweni zabo! Mabagxiliswe othandweni futhi bakhe ukuphila kwabo phezu kwalo, ukuze kanye nabo bonke abazalwane nodade ekukholweni bakwazi ukuqonda ukuthi ububanzi nobukhulu obungenakucatshangwa ukuthi luphakeme kangakanani, lujule kangakanani uthando lukaKristu oludlula konke. ukucabanga. Baba, bagcwalise ngayo yonke inkazimulo yakho! UNkulunkulu, ongasenzela okungaphezu kwalokho esingakucela noma esikucabangayo - anjalo amandla asebenza kithi - kuye lo Nkulunkulu makube udumo ebandleni nakuKristu Jesu ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane kuze kube phakade. Amen” (Kwabase-Efesu 3,17-21 inguqulo yeBhayibheli ethi “Siyakwamukela Ekhaya”)

Ukukhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu uthando oluvela kuNkulunkulu!

Ekugcineni, ngihlanganyela le micabango elandelayo nawe:

Ngokuqinisekile uPawulu wayecabanga ngomfanekiso wesosha laseRoma lapho ebhalela abase-Efesu incwadi. Njengombhali, wayejwayelene kakhulu neziprofetho zokuza kukaMesiya. UMesiya uqobo wayegqoke lezi zembatho zempi!

“Yabona (iNkosi) ukuthi akukho muntu yamangala ukuthi akekho owangenela emthandazweni phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngalokho ingalo yakhe yamsiza nokulunga kwakhe kwamsekela. Wembatha ukulunga izikhali, wafaka isigqoko sokuzivikela sensindiso. Wazigoqa ngengubo yempindiselo futhi wazimboza ngejazi lokushisekela kwakhe. Kepha iSiyoni nakuJakobe abaphendukayo ezonweni zabo, uyeza njengoMhlengi. UJehova unikeza izwi lakhe.”—Isaya 59,16-17 kanye ne-20 Ithemba Labantu Bonke).

Abantu bakaNkulunkulu babelindele uMesiya, ogcotshiwe. Wazalelwa eseyingane eBethlehem, kepha umhlaba awuzange umazi.

“Weza kokwakhe, abakhe abamamukelanga. Kodwa bonke abamamukelayo wabapha amandla okuba babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu labo abakholwa egameni lakhe.” (Joh 1,1I-1-12).

Isikhali esibaluleke kakhulu emzabalazweni wethu ongokomoya nguJesu, izwi likaNkulunkulu eliphilayo, uMesiya, oGcotshiweyo, iNkosana Yokuthula, uMsindisi, uMsindisi uMhlengi wethu.
