ISIKHUMBUZO SEengelosi Ezikhuselayo
Amazwe angama-80 ngoku anokunqongophala kwamanzi okusongela impilo noqoqosho ngelixa iipesenti ezingama-40 zehlabathi-ngaphezulu kwabantu abazizigidi ezi-2-bengenawo amanzi acocekileyo okanye ucoceko. —Ibhanki yeHlabathi; Umthombo wamanzi waseArizona, -Nov-Dec 1999
NGOBA ingaba amanzi ethu ngumphunga? Inxalenye yesizathu kukusetyenziswa, elinye icandelo lutshintsho olukhulu kwimozulu. Nokuba ziphi na izizathu, ndiyakholelwa ukuba ngumqondiso wamaxesha…
AMANZI: UMTHOMBO BOBOMI OBUNGUNAPHAKADE
Wathi uYesu kuNikodimo,
“Amen, amen, ndithi kuwe, Akukho namnye unako ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo ngaphandle kokuba azalwe ngamanzi nangoMoya. (UJohn 3: 5)
UYesu wabhaptizwa eYordan, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba kwakufuneka enjenjalo, kodwa njenge uphawu, umfuziselo kuthi. Usindiso luza kuthi ngamanzi okuzalwa ngokutsha. Kanye njengokuba uMoses namaHebhere bawela uLwandle Olubomvu besiya kwiLizwe Ledinga, nathi simele siwele emanzini oBhaptizo esingise kuBomi obunguNaphakade.
Ngoko afuzisela ntoni amanzi? Kalula nje, UThixo, kwaye ngokuchanekileyo, UYESU khristu. UYesu wema kumanzi eYordan ngokungathi uthi, “Umele ukuwela kum ukuze ungene ebomini obungunaphakade”.
Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ndim isango lezimvu. (UJohn 10: 7)
UMTHOMBO WABO BONKE UBOMI - UTHIXO
Ngelixa ndicamngca ngeMfihlakalo yokuQala eLuminous (Ubhaptizo lukaYesu), igama elithi “H2O” leza kum.
I-H2O yifomula yeekhemikhali zamanzi: iinxalenye ezimbini zehydrogen, enye inxalenye yeoksijini. Ngenxa yokuba yonke indalo kaThixo luhlobo lolwimi olusalatha kuye nokuthetha ngaye, sinokumgqala uBathathu Emnye ngokomfuziselo ngale ndlela:
H = uThixo uYise
H = uThixo uNyana
O = uThixo uMoya
Aba "H" ababini bachazwa njengamalungu amabini okuqala ebuThixo kuba uYesu wathi,
lowo undibonayo ubona owandithumayo. (UJohn 12: 45)
IHydrojeni yeyona nto ilula kuzo zonke izinto, kwaye kukholelwa ukuba iyingcambu yazo zonke izinto. UThixo unguMdali wazo zonke izinto. Igama elithi "umoya" livela kwisiGrike ipneuma, elithetha "umoya" okanye "umoya". Ioksijini ngumoya esiphila nesiphefumla ngawo. Ekugqibeleni, xa i-hydrogen neoksijini zitshisa kunye, i-byproduct ngamanzi. UBathathu Emnye ulidangatye eliphilayo lothando, elivelisa amanzi osindiso.
UMQONDISO WAMAXESHA
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ukuxhuzula okungaqhelekanga esikubona kwindalo namhlanje kuhambelana nezono zoluntu (KwabaseRoma 8: 19-23). Ihlabathi lisebenza ngokukhawuleza ukususa uThixo kwisazela sesizwe (okt. imithetho), emsebenzini, ezikolweni, ekugqibeleni, kusapho. Isiqhamo soku lunxano olukhulu, olungacimiyo lothando.
Imbali yoku kwindalo kukunqongophala okukhulayo kwamanzi, i-H2O, ephuma ngumphunga, ukushiya ihlabathi, kwaye ngoko abantu abaninzi banxanelwe loo mthombo unika ubomi.
Ewe, iyeza imihla, itsho iNkosi uYehova, endiya kuthumela indlala kulo ilizwe, kungabi kuko ukulambela isonka, kungabi kuko ukunxanelwa amanzi; (Amosi 8: 11)
Ukuba abantu baphethukela kuThixo kwakhona baze bacele la “manzi aphilileyo,” unxano lwabo luya kuthotywa. Kuba uThixo uluthando ... umsinga wothando oluphuphumayo, olungenasiphelo.
