Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-7

Imixholo yosindiso ibalulekile. Ubunzulu nentsingiselo yazo inokuqondwa kuphela ngabo bacinga ngokwasemoyeni. Ukufunda iimfundiso zecebo losindiso kuzisa intuthuzelo kunye novuyo. Kodwa ukuze siqonde ubunzulu bukaThixo, kufuneka ukholo nomthandazo.

Sinengqondo ephangaleleyo kangangokuba sinombono olinganiselweyo kumava ethu. Hayi indlela esiyiqonda kancinane ngayo intsingiselo yamazwi ompostile uPawulos athi: “Ngoko ke ndiguqa ngamadolo am kuye uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu . . . ukuze ngokobutyebi bozuko lwakhe aniphe amandla ukuqiniswa ngoMoya wakhe umntu ongaphakathi.”— Efese 3,14:16-XNUMX .

Kutheni abaninzi abathi bangamaKristu bengenakomelela ngokwaneleyo ukuba bamelane nesihendo sotshaba? – Kuba abomelezwa ngamandla ngomoya wakhe emntwini ongaphakathi.

luqonde uthando lukaThixo

Umpostile uthandazela ukuba “uKristu ahlale ezintliziyweni zenu ngalo ukholo, ukuze, nimiliselwe, nisekelwe eluthandweni, nibe nako ukukuqonda oko bukuko ububanzi, nobude, nobunzulu, nokuphakama, nokulwazi uthando lukaKristu. , lona olugqithisele kuko konke ukwazi, ukuze nizaliseke ngenzaliseko kaThixo.”— Efese 3,17:19-XNUMX .

Ukuba besinaloo mava, besiya kubona into yomnqamlezo eKalvari. Ngoko besiya kwazi ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukubandezeleka noYesu. Uthando lukaYesu luya kusikhuthaza. Nangona singenakuyichaza indlela uthando lukaYesu oluzifudumeza ngayo iintliziyo zethu, besiya kulutyhila uthando Lwakhe ngokuzahlulela kunjongo Yakhe ngokuzinikela okuvutha umlilo.

Ezalisekiswe kwinzaliseko kaThixo

UPawulos ucacisela ibandla lase-Efese ngendlela ekulula ukuqonda amandla amangalisayo nobulumko abanako oonyana neentombi zoPhezukonke. Ngomoya wakhe bona ngokwabo banokuqiniswa ngamandla emntwini ongaphakathi, bamiliselwe baze bazinziswe eluthandweni. Banokubuqonda nabo bonke abangcwele ububanzi, ubude, ubunzulu, nokuphakama kothando lukaMesiya, olungaphaya kolwazi lonke. Kodwa umthandazo walo mpostile ufikelela incopho yawo xa ethandazela ukuba “nizaliswe kuko konke ukuzala kukaThixo.”

Incopho yayo yonke into enokufezekiswa

Nantsi isiphelo sayo yonke into esinokuyiphumeza xa sithemba izithembiso zikaBawo wethu waseZulwini kwaye sizalisekise iminqweno Yakhe. Ngemisebenzi kaYesu siyakwazi ukufikelela kwitrone yamandla angenasiphelo. “Lowo, gxebe, ungamconganga owakhe unyana, wesuka wamnikela ngenxa yethu sonke, angathini na ukuba angasibabali ngazo zonke izinto, kwandawonye naye?” ( Roma 8,32:7,11 ) Lo bawo wanikela umoya wakhe kunyana wakhe ngomlinganiselo ongenasiphelo, waza wanikela ngomoya wakhe oyingcwele. sinokuba nesabelo kule ntabalala! UYesu uthi: “Ukuba ke ngoko nina, ningendawo nje, niyakwazi ukunika abantwana benu izipho ezilungileyo, wobeka phi na ke yena uYihlo osezulwini ukubanika izinto ezilungileyo abo bamcelayo!” ( Mateyu XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ngoko ke, uYesu wathi: “Niyakwazi ukunika abantwana benu izipho ezilungileyo!

Isipho sikaThixo kuthi

Ngasihlandlo sithile uYehova wabonakala kuAbraham waza wathi: “Ndilikhaka lakho nomvuzo wakho omkhulu kakhulu!” ( Genesis 1:15,1 ) Lo ngumbulelo kubo bonke abalandela uYesu. UYHWH uImanuweli, obufihlwe kuye bonke ubutyebi bobulumko nobokwazi, ukuze buvisisane naye, lusukelo lwethu ke olo. Sithenjiswe ukuba siya kuba naye njengoko intliziyo ivula ngakumbi nangakumbi iimpawu zaKhe; ukuqonda uthando namandla akhe okuba nobutyebi obungaphengululekiyo bukaYesu; ukuba nibuqonde ngakumbi nangakumbi ububanzi, nobude, nobunzulu, nokuphakama kothando lukaMesiya, oluncamisa konke ukwazi, ukuze nizaliswe kukuzaliseka kukaThixo—eli lilifa labo bakhonza iNkosi, kwaye “Ubulungisa babo buya kwenziwa ngabo ngam, utsho uYehova.”— Isaya 54,17:XNUMX .

Ngalo lonke ixesha ngaphezulu!

Intliziyo eyayikhe yangcamla uthando lukaYesu ihlala ilangazelela okungaphezulu; njengoko uyidlulisela, ufumana umlinganiselo otyebileyo noyintabalala yothando lwakhe. Ngalo lonke ixesha uThixo ezityhila emphefumlweni wakho, amandla akho okuqaphela kunye nothando akhula. Ulangazelelo oluqhubekayo lwentliziyo kukuba: Ngaphezu kwakho! Kwaye impendulo yoMoya iya kuhlala isithi: Kakhulu ngakumbi! UThixo uyayoliswa “kukwenza okungaphezu koko sikucelayo nesikuqondayo” ( Efese 3,20:5,18 ). UYesu waziqongqotha ukuze asindise uluntu olulahlekileyo. Waza ke uMoya oyiNgcwele wanikwa kuye ngokungenasiphelo. Ikwanikelwa nakuwo wonke umlandeli kaYesu xa intliziyo yakhe iphela yenziwe ifumaneke kuye njengendawo yokuhlala. INkosi yethu ngokwayo yanikela lo myalelo: “Manizaliswe nguMoya!” ( Efese 1,19:2,10 ) Lo myalelo kwangaxeshanye uthembisa ukuba nawo unokuzaliseka. Kwamkholisa uYise “ukwenza konke ukuzala kuhlale kuYesu” kwaye “nizaliswe kuye” ( Kolose XNUMX:XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX ).

Ukulunga okwenziwa ngumntu

Ubomi bukaYesu babuzaliswe sisigidimi sothando lukaThixo. Wayekulangazelela kakhulu ukunika abanye olo thando. Uvelwano lwalubhalwe ebusweni bakhe. Ihambo yakhe yayizele lubabalo, ukuthobeka, uthando nenyaniso. Kuphela ngabo malungu omkhosi wakhe wamajoni aneempawu ezifanayo abaya kuba ngabelo loluntu oloyiso. Uthando lukaYesu lukhulu yaye luqaqambile kangangokuba yonke into ayixabisayo umntu ibala ecaleni kwayo. Xa sisikrobisa, siyadanduluka: Hayi indlela olutyebe ngayo uthando lukaThixo kangangokuba wanikela ngoNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo!

Ayinakuchazwa

Xa sikhangela amagama anokuluchaza ngokwaneleyo uthando lukaThixo, onke amagama abonakala ebuthathaka kakhulu, ebuthathaka kakhulu, engafanelekanga kakhulu, kwaye sibeka phantsi usiba sithi, “Hayi, ayinakuchazwa.” Sinokuthi nje kunye “Bonani uthando olungaka asenzele lona uYise, olu lokuba sibizwe ngokuba singabantwana bakaThixo.”—1 Yohane 3,1:XNUMX. Nantsi imfihlelo: UThixo esenyameni, uThixo ekuMesiya, ubuThixo emntwini. UYesu waqubuda ngokuthobeka okungenakuthelekiswa nanto ukuze njengoko ephakanyiselwe kwitrone kaThixo, kwakhona abeke etroneni kunye naye bonke abakholwayo kuye.

izithembiso kuwe

Amadinga kaThixo asebenza kubo bonke abo bakulungeleyo ukuthobeka: “Ndiya kubonisa konke ukulunga kwam phambi kobuso bakho, ndinqule igama likaYehova phambi kwakho.” ( Eksodus 2:33,19 ) Ngoko, uYehova wabonisa ukuba uYehova ‘ulungile.

“Ndibize, ndikuphendule, ndikuxelele izinto ezinkulu ezingenakuqondwa, ongazaziyo.”— Yeremiya 33,3:XNUMX .

“Kungaphezu koko sikucelayo nesikuqondayo” ( Efese 3,20:1,17 ) sinikwe “uMoya wobulumko nowesityhilelo . . . bonke abangcwele into obuyiyo ububanzi, nobude, nobunzulu, nokuphakama, nokulwazi uthando lukaKristu, olugqithisele kuko konke ukwazi, ukuze nizaliswe kuko ukuzala kukaThixo.”— Efese 3,18:19-XNUMX; )

Kude kakhulu kunokuba unokucinga

“Izinto ezingabonwanga liso, nezingaviwanga ndlebe, nezingathanga qatha entliziyweni yomntu, oko uThixo akulungisele abo bamthandayo.” ( 1 Korinte 2,9:XNUMX ) Ngoko ke, “izinto ezingabonwanga liso, nezingaviwanga ndlebe, nezingathanga qatha entliziyweni yomntu.”

Kuphela ngeLizwi lakhe umntu anokuthi aziqonde ezi zinto. Kwaye kwanaloo nto izisa isityhilelo esiyinxalenye kuphela. Kodwa apho [kwilizwe elizayo] zonke iitalente ziya kuphuhliswa, sonke isakhono siya kuphuculwa. Olona xanduva lukhulu luya kuqhutyelwa phambili kwaye amabhongo aphezulu aya kufezekiswa. Kwaye kuya kuhlala kukho iincopho ezintsha, imimangaliso emitsha enokumangaliswa. Iinyaniso ezintsha ziya kubanjwa, iinjongo ezintsha ziya kuvusa amandla omzimba, umphefumlo kunye nomoya. Bonke ubutyebi bendalo iphela buya kufumaneka ukuze kufundwe abantwana bakaThixo. Ngovuyo olungathethekiyo siya kwabelana ngovuyo nobulumko bezidalwa ezingawiyo. Siya kubunandipha ubuncwane esiye sazuzwa iminyaka ngeminyaka xa sicinga ngomsebenzi kaThixo wokudala. Kwaye njengokuba iminyaka yamaphakade iqengqeleka, kuya kwenziwa izityhilelo ezizuke ngakumbi. “Ngaphezu koko sikucelayo nesikuqondayo” ( Efese 3,20:XNUMX ), uThixo uya kusoloko esinika izipho ezitsha ngonaphakade.
