Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoMashi 23, 2007.

AS Ngithandazile namhlanje ekuseni, ngizwe ukuthi iNkosi inikela ngesipho esikhulu kulesi sizukulwane: ukuxolelwa okuphelele.

Ukube lesi sizukulwane besingavele siphendukele Kimi, bengizonginaka konke izono zakhe, ngisho nalezo zokukhipha isisu, i-cloning, izithombe zobulili ezingcolile nokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo. Bengizosula izono zabo kude empumalanga nasentshonalanga, ukube nje lesi sizukulwane singabuyela Kimi…

UNkulunkulu usinikela ekujuleni kwesihawu Sakhe. Kungenxa yokuthi, ngiyakholelwa, sisemngceleni wobulungiswa Bakhe.

Ekuhambeni kwami nginqamula i-United States, amagama ebekhula enhliziyweni yami emasontweni ambalwa edlule: Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu. (Ngenxa yokuphuthuma kanye nobunzima ngezinye izikhathi abantu abanabo ekuqondeni lesi sihloko, ukucabanga kwami namuhla kuthe ukude kancane. Ngifuna ukwethembeka hhayi encazelweni yala mazwi kuphela kodwa nasemongweni wawo.) Izikhathi zethu zanamuhla, ezibekezelayo, nezilungile ngokwepolitiki. isiko liyawenyanya amagama anjalo… “umqondo weTestamente Elidala,” sithanda ukusho. Yebo, kuyiqiniso, uNkulunkulu uyephuza ukuthukuthela futhi ucebile ngesihawu. Kodwa yilokho kanye iphuzu. Ungu kancane ukuthukuthela, kodwa ekugcineni, Angakwazi futhi uyathukuthela. Isizathu ukuthi ubulungiswa bufuna lokho.

WENZA EMFANEKISWENI WAKHE

Ukuqonda kwethu intukuthelo ngokuvamile kunamaphutha. Sivame ukukucabanga njengokuqhuma kwentukuthelo noma ulaka, okuvame ukuba nobudlova obungokomzwelo noma obungokomzimba. Futhi noma siyibona ngezindlela zayo ezifanelekile isenza sisesabe ngandlela thile. Yize kunjalo, siyavuma ukuthi kukhona indawo yentukuthelo nje: lapho sibona ukungabi nabulungisa okwenziwayo, nathi siyathukuthela. Kungani-ke sizivumela ukuthi sizizwe sinolaka olufanele, kepha singakuvumeli lokhu kukaNkulunkulu Sidalwe ngomfanekiso kabani?

Impendulo kaNkulunkulu ngeyokubekezela, eyesihe, umuntu ongasinaki isono ngokuzithandela ukuze amukele futhi aphulukise isoni. Uma engaphenduki, engasamukeli lesi sipho, uBaba kufanele ayiyala le ngane. Nakho lokhu kuyisenzo sothando. Yimuphi udokotela ohlinzayo omuhle ovumela umdlavuza ukuba ukhule ukuze asindise isiguli ngommese?

Oyeka uswazi uzonda indodana yakhe, kepha oyithandayo uyaqaphela ukuyishaya. ( IzAga 13:24 )

Ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya lowo amthandayo; ushaya yonke indodana ayivumayo. (Hebheru 12: 6)

Usiyala kanjani?

Bekezelela i- izilingo njenge “isiyalo” (v.7)

Ekugcineni, uma lezi zivivinyo zehluleka ukulungisa indlela yethu yokuziphatha eyonakalisayo, intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu iyavuka futhi Usivumela ukuthi sithole inkokhelo elungile inkululeko yethu yokuzikhethela efune yona: ubulungiswa noma ulaka lukaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba inkokhelo yesono ingukufa, kepha isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu singukuphila okuphakade kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu. (KwabaseRoma 6:23)

Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu

Ayikho into efana no “Nkulunkulu weTestamente Elidala” (isib. UNkulunkulu wolaka), kanye no “Nkulunkulu weTestamente Elisha” (uNkulunkulu Wothando.) Njengoba uSt. Paul esitshela,

UJesu Kristu uyefana, izolo, namuhla, naphakade. (Hebheru 13: 8)

UJesu, onguNkulunkulu futhi engumuntu, akashintshile. Nguye onikezwe igunya lokwahlulela isintu (Johane 5:27). Uyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa umusa nobulungiswa. Yilesi ukwahlulela Kwakhe:

Okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; kepha ongayilaleli iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, kepha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe. (Johane 3:36)

UJesu uthathe ngokukhululekile isijeziso sesono esifanele thina. Impendulo yethu yamahhala ukwamukela lesi sipho ngokuvuma izono zethu, siphenduke kuso, futhi silalele imiyalo Yakhe. Lokho kusho ukuthi, umuntu ngeke athi uyakholelwa kuJesu uma impilo yakhe iphilwa ngokumelana Naye. Ukwenqaba lesi sipho ukuhlala ngaphansi kwesahlulelo esamenyezelwa e-Edene: ukwehlukaniswa nePharadesi. Lokhu ukufutheka kukaNkulunkulu.

Kepha kukhona nolaka oluzayo, ukwahlulela kwaphezulu okuzohlanza isizukulwane esithile sobubi futhi kubophe uSathane esihogweni "iminyaka eyinkulungwane."

KULESI Sizukulwane

Lesi sizukulwane asigcini nje ngokulahla uKristu, kodwa futhi senza izono ezimbi kakhulu mhlawumbe ngokudelela nokuzidla okungenakuqhathaniswa. Thina ezizweni ezazikade zingamaKristu nangale kwayo siwuzwile umthetho kaKristu, kodwa siwushiya ekuhlubukeni okungakaze kubonwe ngaphambili nangenani lezihlubuki. Izixwayiso eziphindaphindiwe ngamandla emvelo azibonakali zishukumisela izizwe zethu ekuphendukeni. Ngakho-ke izinyembezi zegazi zehla eZulwini ezithombeni nasezifanekisweni eziningi - isibali esibi Sovivinyo Olukhulu oluphambi kwethu.

Lapho inkemba yami isiphuze ukugcwala kwayo ezulwini, bheka, izokwehla ekwahlulelweni… (Isaya 34: 5)

Kakade, uNkulunkulu useqalile ukuhlanza ububi emhlabeni. Inkemba iwile ngezifo ezingaqondakali nezingalapheki, izinhlekelele ezimbi, nempi. Imvamisa kuyisimiso esingokomoya esisebenzayo:

Ungalenzi iphutha: uNkulunkulu akahlekwa, ngoba umuntu uvuna kuphela lokho akuhlwanyelayo… (Gal 6)

Ukuhlanzwa komhlaba sekuqalile. Kepha kufanele sikuqonde ukuthi njengezikhathi ezejwayelekile, lapho abangenacala kwesinye isikhathi bethathwa nababi, kuzobanjalo nangesikhathi sokuhlanzwa. Akekho omunye ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu ongahlulela imiphefumulo futhi akekho umuntu onobuhlakani obuphakeme bokuqonda ukuthi kungani lo noma lowo muntu ehlupheka noma efa. Kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba abalungile nabangalungile ngokufanayo bayohlupheka futhi bafe. Kepha abangenacala (nabaphendukayo) ngeke balahleke futhi umvuzo wabo uyoba mkhulu ePharadesi.

Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwembulwa ngempela luvela ezulwini ngokumelene nakho konke ukungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu nobubi balabo abacindezela iqiniso ngobubi babo. (KwabaseRoma 1:18)

INKATHI YOKUTHULA

Njengoba ngibhalile ku Isikhathi Esizayo Sokuthula, isikhathi sisondela lapho umhlaba uyohlanzwa khona konke ububi nomhlaba uvuselelwe isikhathi umBhalo obhekisela kuso, ngokomfanekiso ngokuthi “a iminyaka eyinkulungwane yokuthula.” Ngonyaka odlule lapho ngihamba e-United States ohambweni lwekhonsathi, iNkosi yaqala ukungivula amehlo mayelana nenkohlakalo engene kuzo zonke izingxenye zomphakathi. Ngaqala ukubona ukuthi umnotho wethu ucekelwe phansi kanjani ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo nokuhaha… "Lokhu kumele kwehle”Ngizwe iNkosi isho. Ngaqala ukubona ukuthi imboni yethu yokudla ichithwe kanjani ngamakhemikhali nasekucubunguleni… “Nalokhu kumele kuqale futhi.” Izakhiwo zezombangazwe, intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe, ngisho nezakhiwo zezakhiwo — kungazelelwe kube nezwi mayelana nenye ngayinye yazo: “Lokhu ngeke kusaba… ” Yebo, kwakukhona umqondo ocacile wokuthi iNkosi ilungiselela ukuhlanza umhlaba. Ngiwazindlile futhi ngawahlunga la magama unyaka wonke, futhi ngiwashicilele manje ngaphansi kokuholwa yi-di rector yami.

Bakhuluma, kubonakala sengathi, kwenkathi entsha. OFata beSonto bokuqala babekholelwa futhi bafundisa lokhu:

Ngakho, isibusiso esabikezelwa ngokungangabazeki sibhekisela esikhathini soMbuso Wakhe, lapho abalungile beyobusa lapho bevuka kwabafileyo; lapho indalo, ezelwe kabusha futhi yakhululwa ebugqilini, iyoveza inala yokudla kwazo zonke izinhlobo zamazolo ezulu nenzalo yomhlaba, njengoba nje abadala bekhumbula. Labo ababona uJohane, umfundi weNkosi, [sitshela] ukuthi bezwa kuye ukuthi iNkosi yayifundisa futhi ikhuluma kanjani ngalezi zikhathi…USt. Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140-202 AD); Ama-Adersus Haereses, U-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4, Obaba beBandla, I-CIMA Publishing Co .; (U-St. Irenaeus wayengumfundi waseSt. Polycarp, owayazi futhi wafunda kuMphostoli uJohane futhi kamuva waba ngumbhishobhi waseSmirna ogcotshwa nguJohn.)

USt. Justin Martyr wabhala:

Mina kanye nawo wonke amanye amaKristu angokwenkolo sinomuzwa wokuthi kuyoba khona ukuvuka kwenyama okulandelwa iminyaka eyinkulungwane edolobheni laseJerusalema elakhiwe kabusha, elihlotshisiwe, elikhulisiwe, njengoba kwamenyezelwa abaProfethi uHezekeli, u-Isaya nabanye… Indoda phakathi kwethu. okuthiwa uJohane, omunye wabaPhostoli bakaKristu, wamukela futhi wabikezela ukuthi abalandeli bakaKristu babeyohlala eJerusalema iminyaka eyinkulungwane, nokuthi ngemva kwalokho kuyokwenzeka uvuko nokwahlulelwa kwendawo yonke futhi, ngamafuphi. -USt. Justin Martyr, Ingxoxo noTrypho, Ch. 81, Obaba beBandla, Amagugu ObuKristu

Khona-ke, ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luyoba isenzo sothando - isenzo somusa sokulondoloza labo abakholwayo nabamlalelayo; isenzo sobubele ukuphulukisa indalo; kanye nesenzo soBulungiswa sokumisa nokumemezela ubukhosi bukaJesu Kristu, iGama elingaphezu kwawo wonke amagama, iNkosi yamakhosi, noMbusi wababusi, kuze kube yilapho uKristu ekugcineni ebeka zonke izitha ngaphansi kwezinyawo Zakhe, okokugcina kuwukufa uqobo.

Uma usuku olunjalo nesikhathi kusondele, kuchaza izinyembezi zasezulwini nokunxusa kukaMama kaNkulunkulu ezivelweni zakhe eziningi ngalezi zikhathi, ezithunyelwa ukusixwayisa nokusibiza sibuyele eNdodaneni yakhe. Lowo owazi kangcono Uthando Lwakhe Nomusa wakhe ukwedlula noma ngubani, uyazi futhi ukuthi Ubulungiswa Bakhe kumele bufike. Uyazi ukuthi lapho eza ukuqeda ububi, ekugcineni usebenza ngomusa waphezulu.

Khazimulisa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kungakabi mnyama; ngaphambi kokuba izinyawo zakho zikhubeke ezintabeni ezimnyama; ngaphambi kokuba ukukhanya okudingayo kuphendukele ebumnyameni, kushintshe kube ngamafu amnyama. Uma ungalaleli lokhu ngokuziqhenya kwakho, ngizokhala ngasese izinyembezi eziningi; amehlo ami agijimela izinyembezi emhlambini weNkosi, waholelwa ekudingisweni. (Jer 13: 16-17)

Bakhala ezintabeni nasemadwaleni, bathi: “Welani phezu kwethu, nisifihle ebusweni balowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi nasolakeni lweWundlu, ngokuba usuku olukhulu lolaka lwabo selufikile; ngubani ongamelana nalo na? ? (IsAm 6: 16-17)
