Futhi uma izihlubuki ziwusizo ngempela, ngibhekana kanjani nazo ukuze zingabi yingozi kimi? Ibhalwe nguWilmonte Frazee

“Kepha siyazi ukuthi konke kusebenzelana kube ngokuhle kwabamthandayo uNkulunkulu, ababiziweyo ngecebo lakhe.” ( Roma 8,28:XNUMX )

Uma sibheka umhlaba, yonke into ibonakala isebenza ngokumelene nomunye, kodwa nokho yonke into iqhubekela enjongweni eyodwa. Yebo, ngisho nomgomo omuhle, hhayi wawo wonke umuntu, kodwa wawo wonke umuntu othanda uNkulunkulu. Ngoba abantu banenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Uzinqumela ukuthi zonke izinto ziyamsebenzela yini noma cha. Kunoma yikuphi, injongo kaNkulunkulu iyophumelela ekugcineni, icebo Lakhe liyofezeka ngokugcwele. Ngakho-ke, kubaluleke kangakanani-ke ukukhumbula njalo ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenzisa amandla abonakala ehluleka: zonke izinto zisebenzelana ngokuhle.

“Asinakukwenza lutho olumelene neqiniso likaNkulunkulu noma kunjalo, singalimela kuphela.” ( 2 Korinte 13,8:XNUMX ) Ithemba labo bonke abantu akumangalisi yini lokho? Ngisho noSathane akakwazi ukwenza lutho oluphikisana neqiniso. Uzama ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi ubonakala enza noma yini ayifunayo kulo mhlaba. Kodwa uma sibheka emuva, khona-ke uNkulunkulu wenza intando yakhe. “Asinakukwazi ukwenza lutho oluphambene neqiniso likaNkulunkulu.”

Kuphela ngokwethembela kulezi zithembiso siyoba nokuhlakanipha nesibindi enkingeni enkulu ibandla elibheke kuyo neseyivele iqalile.

Ngokuba ulaka lomuntu luyakudumisa.” ( IHubo 76,11:XNUMX ) UNkulunkulu uze asebenzise intukuthelo yomuntu ukuze amdumise. Nokho, abantu abakwazi ukuwina laurels ngalokhu. UNkulunkulu yedwa ofanelwe yinkazimulo ngokwazi ukusebenzisa ngisho amacebo ezitha zakhe nolaka lukaSathane ukufeza izinhloso zakhe.

Ngosuku lokugcina, uSathane, izingelosi zakhe kanye nalaba bantu kuyodingeka baphendule ngokufulathela uJehova nokuthuthukisa imibono ebonakala ihlakaniphile. Bayoba necala njengokungathi baye baphumelela ekulweni neqiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi baketula uNkulunkulu esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi. Kodwa ngeke baphumelele.

Ngokuphathelene nokulondeka kwabantwana bakhe, uJesu uthi: “Akekho ongazihlwitha esandleni sikaBaba.” ( Johane 10,29:XNUMX ) Singajabula ngalokho.

Ngakhuthazwa ukuba ngifunde lesi sihloko ngesitatimende sika-Ellen White:

»Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi kuyishwa uma kusabalala izimfundiso zamanga. Kodwa INKOSI ithi, “Konke kusebenzelana kube ngokuhle kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu.” Ngakho impikiswano eyayiphakathi kwabaseKorinte yanikeza uPawulu ithuba lokuba abhale izincwadi zakhe ezimbili ezimangalisayo.
Ukube abezizwe babengaphambuki ekukholweni, uPawulu wayengeke abhale: ‘Ngiyamangala ngokuthi nihlubuka masinyane kangaka kulowo owanibiza ngomusa kaKristu, niye kwelinye ivangeli, lingekho elinye.’ ( Galathiya ) 1,6.7:XNUMX, XNUMX) Noma ubani ofuna ukusebenzisa imiBhalo Engcwele ukuze abonise amanga namaphutha uyayisebenzisa kabi.
Ukube abaseThesalonika babengawuqondi kahle umyalezo abawutholayo, babengeke bakholelwe ukuthi ukubuya kweNkosi kuseduze ngamafu ezulu. Ngakho-ke, uPawulu kwadingeka ethule iqiniso njengoba litholakala kuJesu. Ngenxa yokuthi walibhala phansi, leli qiniso elibalulekile ligcinelwe izizukulwane.
Ngokufanayo, ukuphikiswa kokukhanya neqiniso kwabangela uJesu ukuba alicacise nakakhulu iqiniso. Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho kwethulwa iphutha, lisebenzela okuhle kulabo abathanda uNkulunkulu ngobuqotho. Ngokuba lapho iqiniso lisitshekelwe yiphutha, labo uNkulunkulu ababizile ukuba babe ngabalindi bayolichaza kangcono iqiniso. Bayohlola imiBhalo ukuze bathole ubufakazi bokholo lwabo. Ukusabalala kwamaphutha kubiza izinceku zikaNkulunkulu ukuba zisukume futhi ziveze iqiniso ngokusobala.”Izimpawu Zezikhathi, Januwari 6, 1898)

Ngakho umbuzo uwukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu evumela izimfundiso zamanga ukuba zingene esontweni lakhe ngaphakathi nangaphandle. ImiBhalo ikufakazela ngokucacile ukuthi kokubili kuzokwenzeka. UPawulu wathi: “...kuyongena phakathi kwenu izimpisi eziphangayo... zingawuhawukeli umhlambi; futhi phakathi kwenu kuyovela amadoda akhuluma izinto ezonakele, ukuze ahunge abafundi ukuba babalandele.” ( IzEnzo 20,29.30:XNUMX, XNUMX ) Ngakho-ke, uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ubonisa ukuthi uMbuso kaNkulunkulu wawuyoba nethonya elibi kakhulu ekuphileni kwabo.

Kungani uNkulunkulu evumela ibandla Lakhe ukuba ligcwale ukwehlukana, ukuhlukana, ukungaboni ngaso linye, kanye nezingxabano kulokhu noma kuleya ndaba? Kungani ubunye bomphakathi busongelwa yilokhu okwesikhashana? Ngokufunda nje imibhalo ungabona ngokucacile ukuthi uNkulunkulu unecebo lalokhu.

Lapha sifuna ukucabangela imigomo emithathu ebalulekile efinyelelwe ngenkonzo yokuhlubuka. Izinjongo ezintathu uNkulunkulu aziphishekelayo ngokuvumela izimfundiso zamanga ezihlukahlukene ukuba zifinyelele kithi. Wayekwazi futhi ukukuvimbela. Kungani emngenisa? Uma sifunda ngenkonzo yezihlubuki, sizothola okungenani izimpendulo ezintathu.

ikhwalithi yokulawula

»Bantwana, yihora lokugcina! Futhi njengoba nizwile ukuthi umphikukristu uyeza, kanjalo manje sekukhona abaphikukristu abaningi; Sazi kanjalo ukuthi sekuyihora lokugcina. Bavela kithi, kodwa babengesibo abakithi; ngoba uba babengabakithi, ngabe bahlala lathi. Kodwa kufanele kwambulwe ukuthi akekho kubo ongowethu.” ( 1 Johane 2,18.19:XNUMX, XNUMX ) Abazalwane bamanga sebehambile. Kungani? Ngoba kufanele kwembulwe ukuthi abaveli kithi.

»uNkulunkulu uyabavusa abantu bakhe. Nxa ezinye izindlela zingaphumeleli, kuzangena amambuka, azihlunge, ahlukanise ukolweni namakhoba.”Ubufakazi 5, 707; bona. UMaranatha, 45, ubufakazi 5, 739)

Zenzani izimfundiso zamanga? Uyawubona umphakathi! Kwenzekani kumakhoba? Wehlukaniswa nokolweni! Lapho umoya uvunguza, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngamambuka noma ngokushushiswa, amakhoba ayohlala endiza, kodwa ukolweni uyohlala.

Ngesinye isikhathi ngiseFlorida, umngane wami wangiyisa ehholo lokupakisha lapho amawolintshi ayehlungwa ngosayizi. Amawolintshi ayegoqa ishaneli lapho kwakubhodlwa khona izimbobo ezinobukhulu obuhlukene. Lapho kufika imigodi emincane, amawolintshi amancane kakhulu awela phakathi, kwathi ekugcineni, anemigodi emikhulu, kwawela emikhulu ngempela. Ngakho-ke, kufanele siqaphele ukuba singasheshi ukuzimbambatha emhlane uma sigonyiwe ekuhlubukeni. Njengoba ngibuka amawolintshi, ngabona ngeso lengqondo iwolintshi eliphakathi lithi, "Ngeke sehluleke!" Phela sesiphumelele isivivinyo esisodwa noma ezimbili. Sizofika ekugcineni!” Kodwa imbobo usayizi wakhe wawusephambi kwakhe.

Ezinye izihlubuki ezethulwa omubi ziluhlaza futhi azinamhlabathi kangangokuthi ngiyazibuza ukuthi umuntu angawela kanjani kuzo. Kodwa omubi akakawuqedi umsebenzi wakhe futhi uyaqhubeka ehlwanyela izimfundiso zamanga phakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu usamvumela. Akungabazeki ukuthi ikomiti kaSathane ihlela izihlubuki eziyinkimbinkimbi neziyengayo ezingabonakali kalula. Uhlola ukucabanga kwethu nobuntu bethu. Uma-ke ethola isiqalo ezinhliziyweni zethu, uhlakulela ukuhlubuka okuklanyelwe kuso ukuze nathi sihlungwe. Siphepha kulokhu kuphela uma sigxilile kuJesu naseqinisweni lakhe, yebo uma sithanda uNkulunkulu nebandla lakhe ngaphezu kwethu nemibono yethu.

Umoya kaJehu

Kunenye injongo efezwa amambuka. Ngiyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubusisa abantu abazizwa bephephile, okungenani abasezindaweni zezenkolo. Inkosi yakwa-Israyeli uJehu yavele yakubona lokhu. UmBhalo oNgcwele uthi ngoJehu: “Kuyikuzingela njengokuzingela kukaJehu indodana kaNimsi; ngoba uyazingela njengokungathi uyahlanya.” ( 2 AmaKhosi 9,20:XNUMX ) UJehu wayeyinjini. “Inzalo” yakhe isasebenza nanamuhla. Wayethukuthelele ukuhlubuka nokuhlubuka kuka-Ahabi, futhi kufanele. Kodwa kunento eyodwa ayeyishoda: uthando.

Wayegcwele umdlandla. Nasi isibonelo sezenzo zakhe. “Esamuka lapho, wafumana uJonadaba indodana kaRekabi eza ukumhlangabeza; wambingelela, wathi kuye: Inhliziyo yakho iqotho yini, njengoba inhliziyo yami iqotho enhliziyweni yakho? Wathi uJonadaba: Yebo! – Uma kunjalo, nginike isandla sakho! Wamnika isandla sakhe. Wayesemkhwelisa enqoleni, wathi: "Hamba nami, ubone ukushisekela kwami ​​uJehova." Futhi wamhola ngenqola yakhe. Esefikile eSamariya, wabulala bonke abaseleyo baka-Ahabi eSamariya, waze wamqeda njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ku-Eliya.”— 2 AmaKhosi 10,15:17-XNUMX .

UJehu wenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa hhayi ngendlela kaNkulunkulu, nokho uNkulunkulu wamsebenzisa. Inkonzo kaBhali kwakudingeka iqedwe futhi uJehu wayeyindoda efanele ukuyenza. Nokho, nginovalo lokuthi ngeke sihlangane noJehu ezulwini.

Ngikusho lokhu ngenxa yala mazwi acashuniwe: “Labo abalangazelela impi elingana nokuphishekela kukaJehu ngobuhlanya bayothola ithuba elanele lokunqoba.” (Ubufakazi Kubefundisi, 333; bona. Ubufakazi Kubashumayeli, 287)

Ngakho inqola kaJehu iqhubekela phambili. Ngisho nanamuhla kunabantu abafana noJehu abamisa inqola yabo isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukuba bathi, “Ingabe inhliziyo yakho iqotho, njengoba inhliziyo yami injalo enhliziyweni yakho na? Uma kunjalo, ngena, uhambe nami, sizokwenza okuthile, siqede inkonzo kaBali kwa-Israyeli. Bheka ukushisekela kwami ​​uJehova.”

»Kunzima ngomuntu ukuqonda ukuthi umoya owaboniswa uJehu awuzihlanganisi izinhliziyo. Ngeke sikwazi ukujoyina inkolo yamaJehu ngokuphepha. Ngoba lokhu bekuyocindezela izinhliziyo zabo bonke abakhulekela uNkulunkulu ngeqiniso. UNkulunkulu akazange athumele neyodwa yezinceku zaKhe ukuba ijezise labo abangazilaleli izixwayiso nokusola Kwakhe. Lapho uMoya oNgcwele ehlala enhliziyweni, uyoholela umuntu ukuba abone ukukhubazeka kwesimilo sakhe, abe nozwelo ngobuthakathaka babanye, futhi athethelele ngendlela angathanda ukuthethelelwa ngayo ngabanye.”Incazelo yeBhayibheli 2, 1038; bona. Ukuphawula kweBhayibheli, 119)

Ukuhlubuka kunikeza abantu abanjengoJehu ithuba lokubonisa ubunjalo babo bangempela. Ngakho-ke, uma sibona abazalwane nodade ebandleni abasukumayo ekulweni ukuze bavikele ukholo, behosha izinkemba zabo futhi begijima ngezinqola zabo, lokho akusho ukuthi ekugcineni bayobe bengababantu bakaNkulunkulu.

»Njengoba izilingo zishuba eduze kwethu, kokubili ukwahlukana nobunye kuzobonakala phakathi kwethu. Abanye abavele bathathe izikhali namuhla bayothola ezikhathini eziyingozi ngempela ukuthi babengakhi nhlobo edwaleni - ngoba bazowela esilingweni. Labo abanolwazi olukhulu nezipho eziningi kodwa abangazithuthukisi bazosishiya ngaphansi kwezaba elilodwa noma elinye. ”Ubufakazi 6, 400; bona. ubufakazi 6, 399)

Ungahamba ngezindlela ezahlukene - njengo-Ahabi noma njengoJehu. UNkulunkulu asisindise kuzo zombili izingozi! Kodwa masingakhohlwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wazisebenzisa zombili.

Ngizibophezele kangakanani?

Ekugcineni, kunenkonzo yesithathu yamambuka. Yeka indlela engifisa ngayo ukuba sonke sibe phakathi kwalabo abazuzayo kulenkonzo: izimfundiso zamanga zisenza sihlole iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Ngokuqondene namakholwa aseBereya, umBhalo uthi: “Kodwa laba babenengqondo enhle kunabaseThesalonika, bamukela izwi ngayo yonke intshiseko; Bahlolisisa imibhalo imihla ngemihla ukuba kunjalo yini.”— IzEnzo 17,11:XNUMX .

Abaningi ebandleni bakuthatha kalula ukuthi bayakuqonda abakukholelwayo; kodwa baqaphela kuphela ubuthakathaka babo lapho kuphakama impikiswano.

“Ukungabikho kwezingxabano neziyaluyalu phakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu akufanele kuthathwe njengobufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bokunamathela kwabo emfundisweni efanele. Kunalokho, kufanele kwesatshwe ukuthi awenziwa umehluko ocacile phakathi kweqiniso namaphutha. Uma ingekho imibuzo emisha ephakamayo ekutadisheni imiBhalo, uma kungekho ukungaboni ngaso linye okubangela ukuba abantu batadishe iBhayibheli ngokwabo ukuze baqiniseke ukuthi bayaliqonda iqiniso, kuyoba nabaningi abanamathela emasikweni njengakuqala ababambelele ngokuqinile futhi ‘bakhulekele abakwenzayo. angazi.”—Johane 4,22:XNUMX.Ubufakazi 5, 707; bona. ubufakazi 5, 738)

Ngakho esinye isizathu esenza uNkulunkulu avumele izihlubuki ezihlukahlukene ukuba zingene siwukusiholela eZwini lakhe ukuze sizibonele ngokwethu lokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo. Uma izihlubuki zifeza le njongo, empeleni zisiza thina!

Akumelwe nje silazi kancane iBhayibheli. USathane uyingcweti yokucaphuna iBhayibheli. UJesu wabhekana nesilingo sakhe sokuqala ehlane ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu. USathane wabe esethi: “Nami ngingakwenza lokho!” Kakade esilingweni sesibili wacaphuna iBhayibheli. Ukuthi othile ucaphuna imiBhalo akusho ukuthi ufundisa iqiniso. Ukuthi othile usakaza amapheshana kanye namakhophi agcwele izingcaphuno ezivela kumoya wesiprofetho akusho ukuthi uyisithunywa sokukhanya.

Mhlawumbe into ebaluleke kakhulu kulesi sihloko izincomo zokuya emthonjeni futhi uzifundele iBhayibheli kanye noMoya Wesiprofetho.

»Kuseza izikhathi eziyingozi... Isitha siyasicupha. Masihlale siphapheme! Masimqaphe...Masilandele iziyalo esizinikwa nguMoya wesiprofetho! Kubalulekile ukuthanda nokuphila ngeqiniso ngalesi sikhathi. Lokhu kuyosisindisa ekwenzeni amaphutha amakhulu. UNkulunkulu ukhuluma nathi ngezwi lakhe. Ukhuluma nathi ngobufakazi ebandleni nangezincwadi ezisiza ukuchaza izibopho zethu zamanje kanye nesikhundla okufanele sisithathe manje.
Ngixwayisa bonke abasebenzela uNkulunkulu ukuthi bangamukeli amanga esikhundleni sangempela. Masingavumeli ingqondo yomuntu ithathe indawo yeqiniso elingcwele, elingcwelisayo! … Imibono eyiphutha akufanele isekelwe yilabo okufanele bame ngokungantengantengi esisekelweni seqiniso laphakade.” (Ubufakazi 8, 298; bona. ubufakazi 8, 298.299)

Kuwo wonke umlando wale nhlangano kuye kwaba namadoda amahle, afundile, anolwazi alahlekelwe indlela yawo futhi awela ezintabeni ezimnyama zokungakholwa. Ngoba isitha sasikwazile ukubasusa eqinisweni, kuyilapho ngaso sonke isikhathi sasicabanga ukuthi sasifuna iqiniso ngobuqotho.

Siyamdinga uNkulunkulu. Siyaludinga usizo lwabafowethu nodadewethu. Sidinga uMoya oNgcwele. Manje sekuyisikhathi sokujula emiBhalweni Engcwele kanye nencazelo ephefumulelwe yoMoya Wesiprofetho. »Ingabe abantu bakithi bayaliqonda iZwi likaNkulunkulu eliphilayo? Ingabe baye bathola ulwazi oluhlelekile lwezimiso zeqiniso ezambuliwe eziyobahlomisela lokho okuzayo emhlabeni futhi zibavimbele ukuba bangajikijelwa ngapha nangapha yiyo yonke imimoya yemfundiso?”Ubufakazi 5, 273; bona. ubufakazi 5, 285)

UNkulunkulu uvumela izimfundiso zamanga ukuze sifunde imithombo yokuqala futhi sizuze ulwazi oluhlelekile lwezimfundiso eziyisisekelo. Kudingeka ukuthi siqonde ukuthi izimiso ezihlukahlukene zihlangana kanjani ukuze sakhe ezingqondweni zethu umdwebo omuhle weqiniso, ithempeli eliqinile leqiniso, izikhali eziphelele zezikhali zasezulwini. Konke lokhu kuzosetshenziswa kule mpi esizoyingenela.

Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, uhulumeni wase-United States wenza izifundo zezisebenzi zamabhange ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene zezwe ukuze zifundiswe ukubona imali yomgunyathi. Lezi zifundo zathatha amasonto amabili. Zingaki izimbali ezahlolwa lapho? Akukho nokukodwa! Umqeqeshi kahulumeni wayazi ukuthi ulwazi olunzulu ngezikweletu zangempela lubaluleke kakhulu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi yonke imali yomgunyathi ingabonakala ngokushesha.

Uma sifuna ukubalekela izimfundiso zamanga eziningi ezisizungezile, nathi kumelwe sifunde okwasekuqaleni futhi sigcwalise izingqondo zethu ngeBhayibheli nomoya wesiprofetho. Akuphephile ngathi ukuhlanganyela ezimfundisweni zamanga futhi sizifunde ngokuphindaphindiwe. Uma sisazi kangcono okwangempela, kulapho sizosheshe sibone khona umgunyathi lapho sihlangana nakho.

Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angagxilisa izinhliziyo zethu ngokwanele ukuba singakwethembi ukuhlakanipha kwethu, imibono yethu, nemibono yabanye ngokwanele ukuba sikwazi ukuguqa njengezingane ezincane futhi sithi, “Nkulunkulu othandekayo, kuningi engingakwazi. Ngifuna ukukwazi wena nendlela yakho. Ngicela ungivikele ekukhohlisweni kwesitha." Yile ndlela esizothandaza ngayo ngokuphindaphindiwe. Kuyodingeka sinxuse uNkulunkulu, ngoba isikhathi esabikezelwa ngala mazwi: “Yonke imimoya yezimfundiso iyakuvunguza” (Ubufakazi 5, 80; bona. ubufakazi 5, 88)

“Uma umBhalo ungasitheki kuze kube seqophelweni lapho singasakwazi ukuqonda ngisho namaqiniso alula, okudingekayo ubulula nokholo olunjengolwengane, ukuzimisela ukufunda nokuthandazela usizo lukaMoya oNgcwele.”Ubufakazi 5, 703; bona. ubufakazi 5, 734)
