UMoya oNgcwele

UMoya oNgcwele ungumuntu wesithathu wobuNkulunkulu futhi uphuma phakade kuBaba ngeNdodana. UnguMduduzi kaJesu Kristu othenjisiwe, lowo uNkulunkulu amthumela kubo bonke abakholwayo. UMoya oNgcwele uhlala kithi, usihlanganise noBaba neNdodana, usiguqule ngokuphenduka nangokungcweliswa futhi usivumelanise nomfanekiso kaKristu ngokuvuselelwa njalo. UMoya oNgcwele ungumthombo wogqozi nesiphrofetho eBhayibhelini futhi ungumthombo wobunye nobudlelwane ebandleni. Upha izipho zomoya emsebenzini wevangeli futhi ungumhlahlandlela oqhubekayo womKristu walo lonke iqiniso. (Johane 14,16; I-15,26; IzEnzo ZabaPhostoli 2,4.17-19.38; Mathewu 28,19; Johane 14,17-26; 1 Petru 1,2; Thithu 3,5; 2. UPetrus 1,21; 1. AbaseKorinte 12,13; 2. AbaseKorinte 13,13; 1. AbaseKorinte 12,1-11; IzEnzo 20,28:1; ujohn 6,13)

UMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu

UMoya oNgcwele, lowo nguNkulunkulu osebenzayo - edala, ekhuluma, osiguqula, ehlala kithi, esebenza kithi. Yize uMoya oNgcwele ungenza lo msebenzi ngaphandle kokwazi kwethu, kuyasiza ukwazi okwengeziwe.

UMoya oNgcwele unezimfanelo zikaNkulunkulu, ubandakanywa noNkulunkulu, futhi wenza imisebenzi eyenziwa nguNkulunkulu kuphela. NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya ungcwele—ungcwele kangangokuthi ukucasula uMoya oNgcwele kuyisono esibi njengokunyathela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu (Hebheru 10,29). Ukuhlambalaza uMoya oNgcwele kungesinye sezono ezingenakuthethelelwa (Mathewu 12,31). Lokhu kusikisela ukuthi umoya ungcwele ngokoqobo, awugcini nje ngokuba nobungcwele obuphiwe, njengoba kwakunjalo ngethempeli.

NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele ungunaphakade (KumaHeberu 9,14). NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele ukuyo yonke indawo (AmaHubo 139,7-10). NjengoNkulunkulu, uMoya oNgcwele wazi konke (1. AbaseKorinte 2,10-11; Johane 14,26). UMoya oNgcwele uyadala (Jobe 33,4; IHubo 104,30) futhi enze izimangaliso zenzeke ( Mathewu 12,28; (Roma 15:18-19) enza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enkonzweni yakhe. Ezindimeni eziningana zeBhayibheli uYise, iNdodana noMoya oNgcwele kubhekiselwa kubo njengabangcwele ngokulinganayo. Endimeni emayelana “neziphiwo zikaMoya,” uPawulu uhlanganisa uMoya “munye,” iNkosi “eyodwa” noNkulunkulu “munye” (1 Kor. 1 Kor.2,4-6). Uvala incwadi ngefomula yomthandazo enezingxenye ezintathu (2Kor. 13,13). Futhi uPetru wethula incwadi ngenye indlela enezingxenye ezintathu (1. UPetrus 1,2). Laba akubona ubufakazi bobunye, kodwa bayabusekela.

Ubunye bubonakaliswa ngamandla nakakhulu endleleni yokubhapathiza: “[Babhapathize] egameni [elilodwa] likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele” ( Mathewu 2 )8,19). Laba abathathu banegama elilodwa, elikhombisa into eyodwa, umuntu oyedwa.

Uma uMoya oNgcwele wenza into, uNkulunkulu uyayenza. Uma uMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma, uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma. Lapho u-Ananiya eqamba amanga kuMoya oNgcwele, waqamba amanga kuNkulunkulu (IzE 5,3-4). Njengoba uPetru esho, u-Ananiya akaqambanga amanga kummeleli kaNkulunkulu kuphela, kodwa kuNkulunkulu ngokwakhe. Umuntu akakwazi “ukuqamba amanga” emandleni angenabuntu.

Ngesinye isikhathi uPawulu uthi amaKristu asebenzisa ithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele (Ⅰ Kor 6,19), kwenye indawo ukuthi siyithempeli likaNkulunkulu (1. AbaseKorinte 3,16). Ithempeli elokukhulekela uNkulunkulu, hhayi amandla angeyena umuntu. Lapho uPawulu ebhala “ngethempeli likaMoya oNgcwele,” ngokungaqondile uthi: UMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu.

Futhi kuZenzo 13,2 uMoya oNgcwele ulinganiswa noNkulunkulu: “Kepha bekhonza iNkosi futhi bezila ukudla, uMoya oNgcwele wathi: Ngahlukaniseleni oBarnaba noSawulu, baye emsebenzini engibabizele wona.” Lapha uMoya oNgcwele ukhuluma njengoNkulunkulu. Ngokufanayo, uthi ama-Israyeli “amlinga futhi amvivinya” nokuthi “ngentukuthelo yami ngafunga ukuthi ngeke beze ekuphumuleni kwami” ( Hebheru. 3,7-enye).

Nokho, uMoya oNgcwele awulona nje elinye igama likaNkulunkulu. UMoya oNgcwele uyinto ehlukile kuYise neNdodana, njengesib. B. kwaboniswa ekubhaphathizweni kukaJesu (Mathewu 3,16-17). Laba abathathu bahlukene, kodwa munye.

UMoya oNgcwele wenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu. “Singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu” okungukuthi abazalwa nguNkulunkulu (Joh 1,12), elilingana “nokuzalwa ngoMoya” (Joh 3,5-6). UMoya oNgcwele uyisisetshenziswa uNkulunkulu ahlala ngaso kithi (Kwabase-Efesu 2,22; 1. UJohannes 3,24; 4,13). UMoya oNgcwele uhlala kithi (KwabaseRoma 8,11; 1. AbaseKorinte 3,16) - futhi ngoba uMoya uhlala kithi, singasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uhlala kithi.

Ingqondo ingeyomuntu uqobo

IBhayibheli linikeza izici zomuntu kuMoya oNgcwele.

• Umoya uyaphila (Roma 8,11; 1. AbaseKorinte 3,16)
• UMoya uyakhuluma (IzE 8,29; 10,19; 11,12; I-21,11; 1. UThimothi 4,1; amaHebheru 3,7 njll.).
• UMoya kwesinye isikhathi usebenzisa isabizwana sobuntu “Mina” (IzE 10,20; I-13,2).
• UMoya unganqotshwa, ulingwe, uhlushwe, uthukwe, uhlanjalazwe (IZenzo 5, 3. 9; Kwabase-Efesu 4,30;
  amaHebheru 10,29; Mathewu 12,31).
• UMoya uyahola, umele, ubize, ubeke (Roma 8,14. 26; Izenzo 13,2; 20,28).

Roman 8,27 ukhuluma "ngomqondo". Uyacabanga futhi ahlulele - isinqumo "singamjabulisa" (IZenzo 15,28). Ingqondo "iyazi", ingqondo "iyabela" (1. AbaseKorinte 2,11; I-12,11). Lokhu akuwona amandla angenabuntu.

UJesu ubiza uMoya oNgcwele - ngolimi lwesiGreki lweTestamente Elisha - parakletos - okusho ukuthi umduduzi, ummeli, umsizi. "Futhi ngiyakucela kuBaba, futhi uzoninika omunye uMduduzi ukuba abe nani kuze kube phakade: uMoya weqiniso ..." (Johane 1)4,16-17). NjengoJesu, uMoya oNgcwele, uMduduzi wokuqala wabafundi, uyafundisa, afakaze, avule amehlo, aqondise, futhi embule iqiniso (Johane 14,26; I-15,26; I-16,8 kanye ne-13-14). Lezi izindima zomuntu siqu.

UJohane usebenzisa ifomu lowesilisa elithi parakletos; kwakungadingekile ukulikhipha izwi. KuJohane 16,14 Izabizwana zomuntu wesilisa (“yena”) nazo zisetshenziswa ngesiGreki, maqondana negama elithi “umoya” empeleni elingenahlangothi. Bekungaba lula ukushintshela kwizabizwana ze-neuter ("it"), kodwa uJohn akakwenzi lokho. Umoya ungase ube ngowesilisa ("yena"). Yebo, uhlelo lolimi alubalulekile lapha; okubalulekile ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele unezimfanelo zomuntu siqu. Akawona amandla angathathi hlangothi, kodwa ungumsizi ohlakaniphile nongcwele ohlala kithi.

Umoya oseTestamenteni Elidala

IBhayibheli alinaso isahluko noma incwadi enesihloko esithi “Umoya Ongcwele.” Sifunda ngoMoya kancane lapha, kancane lapho, nomaphi lapho imiBhalo ikhuluma ngokusebenza kwawo. Kuncane kakhulu okutholakala eTestamenteni Elidala uma kuqhathaniswa.

Umoya ubambisene ekudalweni kwempilo futhi ubambisane ekuyilondolozeni (1. mose 1,2; Jobe 33,4; I-34,14). Umoya kaNkulunkulu wagcwalisa uBezazeli “ngako konke ukufaneleka” ukuze akhe itabernakele (2. UMose 31,3-5). Wagcwalisa uMose futhi weza phezu kwabadala abangamashumi ayisikhombisa (4. mose 11,25). Wagcwalisa uJoshuwa ngokuhlakanipha futhi wanika uSamsoni nabanye abaholi amandla noma amandla okulwa (Dut4,9; Ijaji [isikhala]]6,34; I-14,6).

Umoya kaNkulunkulu wanikwa uSawule futhi kamuva wasuswa (1. Samuel 10,6; I-16,14). UMoya wanika uDavide amasu ethempeli (Ⅰ IziKr8,12). UMoya waphefumulela abaprofethi ukuba bakhulume (4. UMose 24,2; 2. Samuweli 23,2; 1 IziKr 12,19; 2 IziKr 15,1; 20,14; UHezekeli 11,5; uZakariya 7,12; 2. UPetrus 1,21).

ETestamenteni Elisha, futhi, uMoya wanika abantu amandla okukhuluma, njengo-Elizabethi, uZakariya, noSimeyoni (Lukasi 1,41. I-67; 2,25-32). UJohane uMbhapathizi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya kwasekuzalweni kwakhe (Luka 1,15). Isenzo sakhe esibaluleke kakhulu kwaba isimemezelo sokuza kukaJesu, owayezobhapathiza abantu hhayi ngamanzi kuphela, kodwa “ngoMoya oNgcwele nangomlilo” ( Luka 3,16).

UMoya noJesu

UMoya oNgcwele njalo nakuyo yonke indawo wadlala indima ebalulekile empilweni kaJesu. Wenza ukukhulelwa kukaJesu (Mathewu 1,20), wehlela phezu kwakhe lapho ebhapathizwa ( Mathewu 3,16), waholela uJesu ehlane (Luka 4,1) wamgcoba ukuba ashumayele ivangeli (Luka 4,18). “NgoMoya kaNkulunkulu” uJesu wakhipha imimoya emibi (Mathewu 12,28). NgoMoya wazinikela njengomnikelo wesono (KumaHeberu 9,14), nangawo lowoMoya wavuswa kwabafileyo (Roma 8,11).

UJesu wafundisa ukuthi ngezikhathi zokuhlushwa uMoya uzokhuluma ngabafundi (Mathewu 10,19-20). Wabafundisa ukubhapathiza abafundi abasha “egameni likaYise, neleNdodana, nelikaMoya oNgcwele” ( Mathewu 2:8,19). UNkulunkulu, wathembisa, uyobanika uMoya oNgcwele bonke abawucela kuye (Lk
11,13).

Izimfundiso zikaJesu ezibaluleke kakhulu ngoMoya oNgcwele zitholakala eVangelini likaJohane. Okokuqala, umuntu kufanele “azalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya” (Joh 3,5). Udinga ukuzalwa kabusha okungokomoya, futhi lokho akunakuvela kuye: kuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu. Nakuba umoya ungabonakali, uMoya oNgcwele wenza umehluko omkhulu ezimpilweni zethu (ivesi 8).

UJesu uyafundisa futhi: “Noma ubani owomileyo makeze kimi aphuze. Okholwa yimi, njengokusho kwemibhalo, kuye kugobhoza imifudlana yamanzi aphilayo” (NgokukaJohane 7:37-38). Ngokushesha uJohane ulandela lokhu ngencazelo: "Futhi lokhu wakusho ngoMoya, labo abakholwa kuye okufanele bawamukele ..." (v. 39). UMoya oNgcwele uqeda ukoma kwangaphakathi. Usinikeza ubuhlobo noNkulunkulu esadalelwa bona. Ngokuza kuJesu, samukela uMoya, futhi uMoya ungagcwalisa izimpilo zethu.

Ngokuba kuze kube yileso sikhathi, uJohane uyasitshela, uMoya wawungakathululwa emhlabeni wonke: uMoya “wayengakafiki; ngokuba uJesu wayengakakhazinyuliswa” (v. 39). UMoya wawugcwalise amadoda nabesifazane ngabanye ngaphambi kukaJesu, kodwa kwase kuzofika ngendlela entsha, enamandla kakhulu—ngePhentekoste. UMoya manje uthululwa ngokuhlanganyela, hhayi nje ngabanye. Noma ubani “obizwe” nguNkulunkulu futhi abhapathizwe uyamamukela (IzE 2,38-enye).

UJesu wethembisa ukuthi uMoya weqiniso uzoza kubafundi Bakhe nokuthi lowoMoya uyohlala kubo (Johane 14,16-18). Lokhu kulingana nokuza kukaJesu kubafundi bakhe ( ivesi 18 ), ngoba kunguMoya kaJesu kanye noMoya kaYise—othunywe uJesu kanye noYise ( Joh.5,26). Umoya wenza uJesu afinyeleleke kuwo wonke umuntu futhi aqhubeke nomsebenzi wakhe.

Ngokwezwi likaJesu, uMoya kwakufanele “ufundise abafundi zonke izinto” futhi “ubakhumbuze konke engikushilo kini” ( Johane 14,26). UMoya wabafundisa izinto ababengaziqondi ngaphambi kokuvuka kukaJesu (Johane 16,12-enye).

UMoya ufakaza ngoJesu (Johane 15,26; I-16,14). Akazisakazeli yena, kodwa uholela abantu kuJesu Kristu nakuYise. Akakhulumi “ngokwakhe” kodwa kuphela njengoba uBaba ethanda (Johane 16,13). Futhi ngenxa yokuthi uMoya ungahlala ezigidini zabantu, kuyisibusiso kithi ukuthi uJesu wenyukela ezulwini futhi wathumela uMoya kithi (NgokukaJohane 16:7).

UMoya uyasebenza ekushumayeleni ivangeli; Uchazela izwe ngesono salo, icala lalo, isidingo salo sobulungisa kanye nokuza kokwahlulela okuqinisekile (amav. 8-10). UMoya oNgcwele ubhekisa abantu kuJesu njengalowo ohlenga wonke amacala futhi ungumthombo wokulunga.

UMoya neBandla

UJohane uMbhapathizi waprofetha ukuthi uJesu wayeyobhapathiza abantu “ngoMoya oNgcwele” (Marku 1,8). Lokhu kwenzeka ngemva kokuvuka Kwakhe ngosuku lwePhentekoste, lapho uMoya ubuyisela abafundi ngokuyisimangaliso (IZenzo 2). Futhi kwakuyingxenye yesimangaliso ukuthi abantu bezwa abafundi bekhuluma ngezinye izilimi (v. 6). Izimangaliso ezifanayo zaqhubeka zenzeka ngesikhathi iBandla likhula futhi landa (IzE 10,44-46; 1th9,1-6). Njengesazi-mlando, uLuka ubika kokubili izenzakalo ezingavamile nezivamile. Abukho ubufakazi bokuthi lezi zimangaliso zenzeka kuwo wonke amakholwa amasha.

UPawulu uthi bonke abakholwayo babhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele emzimbeni munye - ibandla (1. AbaseKorinte 12,13). UMoya oNgcwele uzonikezwa wonke umuntu okholwayo (Roma 10,13; KwabaseGalathiya 3,14). Ngesimangaliso esihambisana noma ngaphandle kwaso, wonke amakholwa abhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele. Umuntu akufanele abheke isimangaliso njengobufakazi obuqondile, obusobala balokhu. IBhayibheli alidingi ukuthi wonke amakholwa acele ukubhapathizwa uMoya oNgcwele. Kunalokho, libiza wonke amakholwa ukuthi agcwaliswe njalo ngoMoya oNgcwele (Kwabase-Efesu 5,18) - ukulandela ngokuzimisela ukuhola kukaMoya. Lona umsebenzi oqhubekayo, hhayi umcimbi owodwa.

Esikhundleni sokubheka isimangaliso, kufanele sifune uNkulunkulu futhi sivumele uNkulunkulu anqume ukuthi isimangaliso sizokwenzeka noma cha. UPawulu kaningi akawachazi amandla kaNkulunkulu ngezimangaliso, kodwa ngamazwi aveza amandla angaphakathi: ithemba, uthando, ukubekezela nokubekezela, ukuzimisela ukukhonza, ukuqonda, amandla okuhlupheka nesibindi ekushumayeleni (KwabaseRoma 1)5,13; 2. AbaseKorinte 12,9; Kwabase-Efesu 3,7 & 16-17; KwabaseKolose 1,11 kanye nama-28-29; 2. UThimothi 1,7-enye).

IzEnzo zibonisa ukuthi uMoya wawungamandla abangela ukukhula kwebandla. UMoya wanika abafundi amandla okufakaza ngoJesu (IzE 1,8). Wabanikeza ukukholisa okukhulu ekushumayeleni kwabo (IzE 4,8 awu 31; 6,10). Wanikeza uFiliphu imiyalelo yakhe, futhi kamuva wamhlwitha (IzE 8,29 futhi 39).

KwakunguMoya owakhuthaza ibandla futhi wasebenzisa amadoda ukuba aliqondise (IzE 9,31;
20,28). Wakhuluma kuPetru nasebandleni lase-Antiyokiya (IzE 10,19; 11,12; I-13,2). Waphefumulela u-Agabu ukuba abikezele ngendlala futhi uPawulu asho isiqalekiso (IzE 11,28; I-13,9-11). Wahola uPawulu noBarnaba ohambweni lwabo (IzE3,4; I-16,6-7) futhi yasiza uMkhandlu Wabaphostoli WaseJerusalema ukuba uthathe izinqumo zawo ( IzEnzo 1 Kor5,28). Wathumela uPawulu eJerusalema futhi waprofetha kuye okwakuzokwenzeka lapho ( IzEnzo 20,22: 23-2; Kor.1,11). IBandla lalikhona futhi lakhula kuphela ngoba uMoya wawusebenza kwabakholwayo.

UMoya namakholwa namhlanje

UNkulunkulu uMoya oNgcwele ubambe iqhaza elikhulu ezimpilweni zamakholwa namuhla.

• Usiholela ekuphendukeni futhi asinike impilo entsha (Johane 16,8; 3,5-enye).
• Uhlala kithi, uyasifundisa, uyasiqondisa (1. AbaseKorinte 2,10-13; Johane 14,16-17 & 26; AmaRoma 8,14). Usiqondisa ngemiBhalo, ngomthandazo, nangamanye amaKristu.
• Ungumoya wokuhlakanipha ukuze asisize sicabange ngezinqumo esibhekana nazo ngokuzethemba, ngothando nangokuhluzeka kwengqondo (Efesu 1,17; 2. UThimothi 1,7).
• Umoya “usoka” izinhliziyo zethu, uyasibeka uphawu futhi ungcwelise futhi usehlukanisele injongo kaNkulunkulu (KwabaseRoma 2,29; Kwabase-Efesu 1,14).
• Uveza uthando nesithelo sokulunga kithi (Roma 5,5; Kwabase-Efesu 5,9; KwabaseGalathiya 5,22-enye).
• Usibeka ebandleni futhi asisize ukuba sazi ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu (1. AbaseKorinte 12,13; AmaRoma 8,14-enye).

Kufanele sikhonze uNkulunkulu “ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu,” siqondise izingqondo zethu kanye nezinhloso zethu kulokho okufunwa nguMoya (KwabaseFilipi 3,3; 2. AbaseKorinte 3,6; AmaRoma 7,6; 8,4-5). Silwela ukuhambisana nalokhu akuthandayo (KwabaseGalathiya 6,8). Uma siholwa nguMoya, usinika ukuphila nokuthula (Roma 8,6). Usinika ukufinyelela kuBaba (Efesu 2,18). Umi nathi ebuthakathakeni bethu, “usimele” okungukuthi, usikhulumela kuBaba (KwabaseRoma 8,26-enye).

Futhi upha izipho zikamoya, lezo ezifanelekela ubuholi bebandla (Efesu 4,11), ezikhundleni ezihlukahlukene (KwabaseRoma 12,6-8), kanye namathalenta athile emisebenzi engavamile (1. AbaseKorinte 12,4-11). Akekho onazo zonke izipho ngesikhathi esisodwa, futhi akukho sipho esinikezwa wonke umuntu ngokungakhethi (amav. 28-30). Zonke izipho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zingokomoya noma “zemvelo,” kufanele zisetshenziselwe ukusiza abantu bonke futhi bakhonze iBandla lonke (1. AbaseKorinte 12,7; I-14,12). Sonke isipho sibalulekile (1. AbaseKorinte 12,22-enye).

Sisenalo kuphela “ulibo” lukaMoya kuphela, isibambiso sokuqala esisethembisa okukhulu kakhulu esikhathini esizayo (KwabaseRoma 8,23; 2. AbaseKorinte 1,22; 5,5; Kwabase-Efesu 1,13-enye).

UMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu osebenzayo ezimpilweni zethu. Konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo uyenza ngoMoya. Kungakho uPawulu esinxusa, “Uma sihamba ngoMoya, masihambe futhi ngoMoya... 5,25; Kwabase-Efesu 4,30; 1th. 5,19). Ngakho-ke masilalelisise ukuthi uthini uMoya. Lapho ekhuluma, uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma.
