Njengesazi ngengqondo, ndiye ndaqaphela izinto ezimbalwa eziphembelela ubomi beemvakalelo nangaphezu kweengcinga ezingaphakathi. NguColin Standish

Iqela eliphambili ekujoliswe kulo leentengiso sisizukulwana esiselula. Igqojozwa macala onke: ngonomathotholo, oomabonakude, amaphephandaba, iimagazini, iibhilibhodi kunye nosasazo lwedijithali. Kwizibhengezo zentengiso, iyaziwa into yokuba abantu abaselula banomdla kakhulu kwiintengiso, kwaye imikhwa eyenziwa besebancinane inokuhlala iyinxalenye yobomi. Le meko ibangela umngeni obalulekileyo kulutsha lweSeventh-day Adventists.

Akumangalisi ke ngoko ukuba iZibhalo zisilumkise ngelithi: “Umchasi wenu, uMtyholi, utyhutyha njengengonyama egqumayo, efuna ubani engamginyayo.” Imikhwa esisiseko yobomi ikhula ebuntwaneni nasebutsheni: iimbono, utyekelo, ikhethe neenkolelo.

Yaye ayimangalisi into yokuba uEllen White esoloko eluleka amaKristu ukuba alumke ekulawuleni iimvakalelo azifumanayo. "Kubalulekile ukuba sivale kwaye sikhusele iindlela zokungena zomphefumlo wethu ebubini - ngaphandle kokuthandabuza kunye neengxoxo." (Ubungqina 3, 324) Ukuvala nokugcina kuthetha ukwenza umKristu ngenkuthalo; ngenkuthalo ndilawule indlela yam yokuphila ngendlela yokuba izivamvo, ezikhokelela impembelelo yangaphandle ekucingeni okusengqondweni, zibone kuphela izinto ezikhuthaza ukukhula nokukhula kumoya kaYesu. Okanye ngamanye amazwi: lawula indlela yam yokuphila ngendlela yokuba izivamvo zingabonakali kwiimpembelelo ezihendayo ngezinto zehlabathi.

“Abo banganqweneli ukuba ngamaxhoba amaqhinga kaSathana baya kuwagcina ekhuselekile amasango entliziyo yabo, kwaye bakulumkele ukufunda, ukubona, nokuva oko kunokuvusa iingcinga ezingcolileyo. Akufunekanga sivumele iingqondo zethu zibhadule kwaye zihlale ekuthandeni kuyo yonke into uSathana asihleba ngayo. Ukuba asizijongi ngokusondeleyo iintliziyo zethu, ububi obuvela ngaphandle buya kubiza ububi ngaphakathi, kwaye umphefumlo wethu uya kuwela ebumnyameni.IZenzo zabaPostile, 518; bona. Umsebenzi wabapostile, 517).

Oku kunyamekela kwamphawula uYohane uMbhaptizi njengoko wayethabatha uxanduva lokulungiselela indlela kaKristu. Onke amasango awathi uSathana wafikelela entliziyweni yakhe wawavala kangangoko wayenako. Kungenjalo wayengenakuwufeza ngokwaneleyo umsebenzi wakhe (Bona i-Desire of Ages, i-102; Ubomi bukaYesu, 84.85:XNUMX). Nina bantu batsha besizukulwana sanamhlanje ninomsebenzi, njengoEliya wale mihla, wokuzisa umyalezo wokubuya kukaYesu kuzo zonke iintsingiselo zawo. Khusela zonke iimvakalelo zakho, ke ngoko, njengoko kuchaziwe, okanye ngocoselelo ngakumbi, ekuhlaselweni uSathana athe wawatshabalalisa ngempumelelo amandla engqondo nokomelela kolutsha. Inomtsalane kuzo zontlanu izivamvo; kuba unako ukuphembelela iipatheni zethu zokucinga ngazo zonke.

Ekugqibeleni, umbuzo wosindiso lwethu ugqitywe emoyeni wethu. “Kuba ukunyamekela inyama kuthetha ukufa, ke ukunyamekela izinto zokomoya bubomi noxolo.” ( Roma 8,6:XNUMX ) Kodwa asinakukhula ngokomoya ngoxa sisondliwa inyama yethu. Kanye njengokuba singenakulindela ukomelela ngokwasemzimbeni ngokutya ukutya okungenaxabiso.

Kodwa lumka: umoya awukhuli kumoya kaThixo nje ngokuwukhusela kububi obungaphandle, kodwa kuphela xa umoya ujongiswe kwezo zinto zibonakalisiweyo zokomeleza imilinganiselo yokomoya yobomi bobuKristu.

UDavide wayekuqonda oku xa wathi: “Ilizwi lakho ndiligcine entliziyweni yam, ukuze ndingoni kuwe.” ( INdumiso 119,11:XNUMX ) Eyona ndlela ibalaseleyo yokukhusela umoya wethu kukufumana ukutya kokomoya okuphuma kwiLizwi likaThixo yonke imihla. Ukuba ubani ufuna ukukhulisa ingqondo kaYesu, le ndlela ayikhuthazwa kuphela, kodwa imfuneko epheleleyo “yokuzikhusela ebubini, [kuba] kulunge ngakumbi ukuxakekisa iingcinga zikabani ngokulungileyo kunokumisa imiqobo engenakubalwa enemithetho nezohlwayo . (Iingcebiso ngeMpilo, 192; bona. imfundo, Ellen White Fellowship, 179)

Njengeemele yamanzi amdaka

Njengesazi ngengqondo, ndiye ndaqaphela izinto ezimbalwa eziphembelela ubomi beemvakalelo nangaphezu kweengcinga ezingaphakathi. Abantu abaninzi abaziva benetyala bakufumanisa kunzima ukuzishenxisa iingcamango ezibahlukanisayo noThixo. Phambi kokuba size kuYesu, indalo yethu yenyama sele izaliswe lulwazi oluninzi. Asinakukwazi ukuzigxotha ngoko nangoko ezi ngcinga nemifanekiso xa siza kuYesu. USathana unokuqhubeka ezisebenzisa njengomthombo wokuhenda ukuba asenze sizive siphantsi, sidimazekile yaye soyike ukusilela.

Ukujongana nezi zono, ezingabonakali kwabanye, bubungqina bokuba imfazwe kunye nemvelo yenyama iyaqhubeka. Idla ngokuqhubeka ixesha elide emva kokuba soyisile isono ngelizwi nangesenzo ngamandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele noKrestu ohleliyo. Uloyiso lunokunikelwa kuthi apha, ngokunjalo, ngeLizwi likaThixo, ukuba sithe gqolo ukondla imimoya yethu ngokutya kwasezulwini.

Xa siza kuYesu, umoya wethu ufana ne-emele yamanzi amdaka engcoliswe yiminyaka yesilingo somoya. Ukuba uthe chu uthontsiza amanzi acocekileyo kuyo, kuncinci kuya kutshintsha. Amanzi asemdaka. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuba ubeka ibhakethi phantsi kwe-faucet kwaye uyivule ngokupheleleyo, amanzi angcolileyo aya kudlula ngokukhawuleza kumda webhakethi. Amanzi aqalisa ukucoceka de ekugqibeleni kubekho amanzi acocekileyo kuphela e-emeleni. Yiloo nto kanye esiyifunayo ukuze sicoce iingqondo zethu.

Eyona nto iphumelelayo kukufundisisa nokucengceleza iLizwi likaThixo njengendlela “yokulungisa iziphene zobuntu nokuhlambulula itempile yomphefumlo kuko konke ukudyobheka.” ( IZe.Ubungqina 5, 214; bona. ubuncwane 2, 58 okanye UKristu uyeza kamsinya, 137)

ukuzinikela ngokupheleleyo

Oku kufuna ukuba sibunikele ngokupheleleyo ubomi bethu kuYesu, siphephe yonke into eyingozi, size sihlakulele indlela yokuphila enokuthi iLizwi likaThixo lithethe nathi rhoqo. Ubunyulu bukaYesu babubangelwa kukuba nolwalamano olusenyongweni noYise nofundisiso olunzulu noluqhubekayo lweBhayibhile. Sinako kwaye singakufezekisa oku; kuba sibuzwa oku: “Wonke umntu makacinge njengoko wayenjalo uYesu Kristu.” ( Filipi 2,5:XNUMX ) Xa kuthethwa ngoku, wonke umntu makacinge njengoYesu Kristu.

USathana usebenzisa iindlela ezininzi ukujongela phantsi ukubunjwa kwesimilo kwabo bebeya kuthi ngenye indlela babe yintsikelelo enkulu emsebenzini kaThixo. Ufuna ukuwutshabalalisa umzamo kaThixo okanye ubuncinane awuthobe ukuze ungasivumeli ukuba siwugqibe umsebenzi wakhe.

USathana akazange akwazi ukusebenzisa izivamvo zabantu bakaThixo ngendlela enamandla njengale mihla yethu entsonkothileyo. Ngonomathotholo, umabonwakude, izidlali zeCD nazo zonke iintlobo zamaphephandaba neemagazini [I-Intanethi, ii-smartphones, njl. Yiyo loo nto kunzima ukubhenela kulutsha ngaphandle kwenqanaba elithile lokuzonwabisa. Oku kufumaneka kwiiklasi zesikolo, kwisikolo seSabatha nakwinkonzo. Ushicilelo olulungiselelwe abantu abaselula lutyekele ekubeni lube lolungekho phezulu yaye luyonwabisa. Ayinabunzulu obucacileyo obukhona kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka eyadlulayo.

Ngokufuthi izivamvo ziba buthuntu kwizinto ezinokuba luncedo nezifuna ufundisiso olunzulu. Ukongeza koku yingxaki yokungazinzi kwengqondo kunye nokuhla ngokomoya. Ngokufuthi imfundiso yabantwana nolutsha iquka ingcamango nje abamele bayikholelwe; banyanzelwa ukuba baphile kwihlabathi lokuzenzisa, yaye banexesha elincinane lokuzibhokoxa kusukelo oluxabisekileyo lobomi obusebenzisekayo obuyimfuneko ekukhuleni nasekukhuleni komKristu. Ingqondo ayivele ivale umlomo emva kokufunda inoveli eyonwabisayo, ukumamela iCD, okanye ukubukela ifilim. Ingqondo liqumrhu eliguquguqukayo elidibanisa amava amatsha kulawo exesha elidlulileyo kwaye lilungiselela inkuthazo yokuqhubela phambili, amava amatsha.

“Abafundi bamabali angenamsebenzi, athandabuzekayo [kuquka amabali okuziphatha okuhle neenkolelo zonqulo] baye bangabi namsebenzi kwimisebenzi abayabelweyo. Bahlala kwihlabathi lamaphupha ..." (Ubungqina 7, 165; bona. Unondyebo wobungqina 3, 142)

Sinokongeza abo babukela iimuvi ezingenzulu nezinika umdla. Ngoko ngaba iyamangalisa into yokuba abantu abaselula ngokufuthi bangazithandi okanye bazithande izinto uThixo azigqala njengezibalulekileyo ebomini babo?

UThixo ulindele isizukulwana sabantu abaselula esinemimoya ehlanjululweyo kwimpembelelo eyonakalisayo negqwethekileyo yamajelo eendaba anamhlanje. Ukhangela iqela labantu abatsha abakuqondayo oko kuthethwa kukusebenzela nokuphilela uYesu; kubantu abaye babeka ingqalelo yabo kwimisebenzi ebonakalayo yobomi kwaye bayazi ukuba yonke into abayenzayo kufuneka izukise uThixo. Esi sisizukulwana asibizayo uThixo ukuba agqibe umsebenzi wakhe.
