Imibhalo yenkolo lapha
NGAPHAMBI efundisa “uBaba wethu”, uJesu uthi kubaPhostoli:
Lokhu Kanjani kufanele uthandaze. (Math 6: 9)
Yebo, Kanjani, hhayi ngempela ini. Lokho kusho ukuthi, uJesu wayengadaluli kangako okuqukethwe yilokho okumele sikuthandaze, kodwa isimo senhliziyo; Wayenganikeli umthandazo oqondile njengokusikhombisa thina Kanjani, njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, ukusondela kuYe. Ngamavesi ambalwa nje ngaphambili, uJesu wathi, "Lapho uthandaza, ungabhibhidli njengabahedeni, abacabanga ukuthi bazozwakala ngenxa yamazwi abo amaningi." [1]I-Matt 6: 7 Kunalokho…
… Ihora liyeza, futhi selikhona, lapho abakhulekeli beqiniso beyokhulekela uBaba ngomoya nangeqiniso; futhi ngempela uBaba ufuna abanjalo ukuba bamkhonze. (Johane 4:23)
Ukukhonza uBaba “ngomoya” kusho ukukhonza Yena ngenhliziyo, ukukhuluma Naye njengobaba onothando. Ukukhonza uBaba “ngeqiniso” kusho ukuza kuye ngokoqobo ukuthi ungubani — nokuthi ngingubani futhi angiyikho. Uma sizindla ngalokho uJesu akufundisa lapha, sizothola ukuthi uBaba Wethu usivezela ukuthi sithandaze kanjani “ngomoya nangeqiniso”. Ungakwenza kanjani thandaza ngenhliziyo.
YETHU…
Ngokushesha, uJesu usifundisa ukuthi asisodwa. Lokho kusho ukuthi, njengoMlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu, uJesu uthatha umkhuleko wethu awulethe phambi kukaYise. Ngomuntu, uJesu ungomunye wethu. Ungumuntu munye noNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke, masithi nje uma sithi "Wethu", kufanele sigcwaliswe ngokukholwa nangokuqiniseka ukuthi umthandazo wethu uzowuzwa ngenduduzo yokuthi uJesu unathi, u-Emmanuel, okusho "UNkulunkulu unathi." [2]I-Matt 1: 23 Ngoba njengoba eshilo, Nginani njalo kuze kube sekupheleni kwezwe. ” [3]I-Matt 28: 15
Asinaye umpristi ophakeme ongakwazi ukuzwelana nobuthakathaka bethu, kodwa oye wahlolwa ngokufanayo kuzo zonke izindlela, kodwa engenasono. Ngakho-ke masisondele ngokuzethemba esihlalweni somusa ukuthola umusa nokuthola umusa wosizo olufika ngesikhathi. (Heb 4: 15-16)
BABA…
UJesu wayecacisile ngohlobo lwezinhliziyo okufanele sibe nazo:
Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe, loba ngubani ongamukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana kasoze angene kuwo. (UMarku 10:25)
Ukubiza uNkulunkulu ngokuthi "Abba", "njengoBaba", kuqinisa ukuthi asizona izintandane. Ukuthi uNkulunkulu akayena nje uMdali wethu, kodwa ungubaba, umondli, umnakekeli. Lesi isambulo esingajwayelekile sokuthi ngubani Umuntu Wokuqala kaZiqu-zintathu.
Ingabe umama angalukhohlwa usana lwakhe, angabi nalo isisa enganeni yakhe? Noma kufanele akhohlwe, angisoze ngakukhohlwa wena. (Isaya 49:15)
UBANI OCWENGULA EZULWINI…
Siqala umthandazo wethu ngokuzethemba, kepha qhubeka ngokuthobeka njengoba sibheke phezulu.
UJesu ufuna sigxilise amehlo ethu, hhayi ezinakweni zesikhashana, kepha ezulwini. “Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu,” Uthe. Njengoba “Abafokazi nezihambi” [4]isib. 1 Pet. 2:11 lapha emhlabeni, kufanele…
Cabanga ngokwaphezulu, hhayi okusemhlabeni. (KwabaseKolose 3: 2)
Ngokugxilisa izinhliziyo zethu ingunaphakade, izinkinga zethu kanye nokukhathazeka kuthatha umbono wazo ofanele.
KUVinjelwe igama lakho…
Ngaphambi kokuba senze izicelo zethu kuBaba, okokuqala sivuma ukuthi UnguNkulunkulu — futhi angiyena. Ukuthi Unamandla, uyesabeka futhi unamandla onke. Ukuthi ngiyisidalwa nje, futhi Yena unguMdali. Kulesi sisho esilula sokuhlonipha igama laKhe, sinikela ukubonga nokudumisa kuYe ngalokho ayikho, nokuhlale kuyinto enhle asinikeze yona. Ngaphezu kwalokho, siyavuma ukuthi konke kuza ngentando Yakhe eyekelelayo, ngakho-ke, kuyisizathu sokubonga ukuthi Wazi okungcono kakhulu, noma ezimeni ezinzima.
Bongani kuzo zonke izimo, ngoba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ngani kuKristu Jesu. (1 Thesalonika 5:18)
Yilesi senzo sokuthembela, sokubonga nokudumisa, esisidonsela ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu.
Ngenani emasangweni akhe ngokubonga, emagcekeni akhe ngokudumisa. Mbongeni, nibusise igama lakhe… (AmaHubo 100: 4)
Yilesi senzo sokudumisa, empeleni, esingisizayo ukuba ngiqale enhliziyweni efana nengane futhi.
UMBUSO WAKHO UZA…
UJesu wayevame ukuthi uMbuso useduze. Wayefundisa ukuthi, ngenkathi iphakade liza ngemuva kokufa, uMbuso ungafika manje, okwamanje. Umbuso wayevame ukubonwa njengofana noMoya oNgcwele. Eqinisweni, 'esikhundleni salesi sicelo, abanye oFata BeSonto bayaqopha: “Kwangathi uMoya wakho oNgcwele ungehlela phezu kwethu futhi usihlanze.”' [5]isib. umbhalo waphansi weNAB kuLuka 11: 2 UJesu ufundisa ukuthi ukuqala komsebenzi omuhle, womsebenzi wonke, wokuphefumula okungapheli, kumele kuthole amandla nokuqina kwawo empilweni yangaphakathi: kusuka eMbusweni ongaphakathi. UMbuso Wakho Woza kufana nokuthi, “Woza Moya Oyingcwele, shintsha inhliziyo yami! Vuselela ingqondo yami! Gcwalisa impilo yami! Vumela uJesu abuse kimi! ”
Phendukani, ngoba umbuso wezulu ususondele. (Math 4:17)
Bazokwenziwa…
Umbuso kaNkulunkulu uboshelwe ngaphakathi entandweni yobuNkulunkulu. Lapho kwenzeka khona intando Yakhe, kukhona uMbuso, ngoba Intando Yaphezulu iqukethe konke okuhle komoya. Intando Yaphezulu Luthando uqobo lwalo; futhi uNkulunkulu uluthando. Kungakho uJesu afanisa Intando KaBaba “nokudla” Kwakhe: ukuhlala eNtandweni Yaphezulu kwakuwukuhlala esifubeni sikaYise. Ukuthandaza ngale ndlela-ke kufana nengane encane, ikakhulukazi phakathi nesilingo. Kuwuphawu lwenhliziyo eshiyelwe uNkulunkulu, ekhonjiswe ezinhlizweni ezimbili zikaMariya noJesu:
Kwangathi kungenziwa kimi ngokwentando yakho. (Luka 1:38)
Hhayi intando Yami kodwa eyakho mayenziwe. (Luka 22:42)
EMHLABENI, NJENGOBA KUSEZULWINI…
UJesu usifundisa ukuthi izinhliziyo zethu kufanele zivuleke futhi zishiyelwe intando kaNkulunkulu, ukuthi izofezeka kithina “njengaseZulwini.” Lokho wukuthi, eZulwini, abangcwele abagcini nje ngokwenza "intando kaNkulunkulu" kepha "bahlala" entandweni kaNkulunkulu. Okungukuthi, izifiso zabo kanye noZiqu-zintathu oNgcwele bayinto efanayo. Ngakho-ke kunjengokungathi uthi, “Baba, kwangathi intando yakho ingenziwa kimi kuphela, kepha mayibe ngeyami ukuze imicabango yakho ibe yimicabango yami, ukuphefumula kwakho kube ngumoya wami, nomsebenzi wakho kube ngumsebenzi wami.”
… Wazidela, wathatha isimo sesigqila… wazithoba, walalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, ngitsho ekufeni esiphambanweni. (Fil 2: 7-8)
UZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele ubusa noma kuphi lapho kuhlala khona Intando kaNkulunkulu, futhi okunjalo, kulethwa ekupheleleni.
Lowo ongithandayo uyogcina izwi lami, noBaba wami uzomthanda, futhi sizokuza kuye sihlale naye… ogcina izwi lakhe, uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelelisiwe kuye. (Johane 14:23; 1 Johane 2: 5)
SINIKE LOLU SUKU LWETHU SONKE!
Lapho ama-Israyeli eqoqa imana ehlane, ayalwa ukuba angagcini ngaphezu kwezidingo zawo zansuku zonke. Lapho behluleka ukulalela, imana laliphenduka isibungu linuke. [6]isib. Eksodusi 16:20 NoJesu usifundisa ukwethemba uBaba walokho esikudinga nsuku zonke, ngombandela wokuthi kufanele sifune uMbuso waKhe kuqala, hhayi owethu. “Isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla” akukhona nje kuphela lokho esikudingayo, kepha kungukudla kweNtando Yakhe Yaphezulu, futhi ikakhulukazi, iZwi Elibe Yinyama: UJesu, kuMthendeleko Ongcwele. Ukuthandazela isinkwa sansuku zonke ukuthembela njengengane encane.
Ngakho-ke ningakhathazeki nithi: 'Sizodlani?' noma 'Sizophuzani?' noma: Sizogqokani? ' … UYihlo osezulwini uyazi ukuthi uzidinga zonke. Kepha funa kuqala umbuso (kaNkulunkulu) nokulunga kwakhe, futhi zonke lezi zinto uzonikezwa zona ngaphandle. (Math 6: 31-33)
SIXOLELE IZIBONELELO ZETHU…
Nokho, yeka ukuthi ngiyehluleka kangaki ukubiza uBaba Wethu! Ukumdumisa nokumbonga kuzo zonke izimo; ukufuna umbuso wakhe ngaphambi kowami; ukukhetha Intando Yakhe kuneyami. Kepha uJesu, ngokwazi ubuthakathaka bobuntu nokuthi sizohluleka kaningi, usifundisa ukuthi siye kuBaba sicele ukuthethelelwa, futhi sithembele kuMusa wakhe Ongcwele.
Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile futhi ulungile futhi uzothethelela izono zethu asihlanze kukho konke okubi. (1 Johane 1: 9)
NJENGOBA SIBATHETHELELA LABO ABASIDLULA NGAKHO…
Ukuthobeka esiqala ngakho uBaba Wethu kusekelwa kuphela lapho sivuma ngokwengeziwe iqiniso lokuthi siyikho konke izoni; ukuthi yize umfowethu engilimazile, nami ngilimazile abanye. Njengobulungiswa, kufanele futhi ngixolele umakhelwane wami uma nami ngifisa ukuxolelwa. Noma kunini lapho ngithola kunzima ukukuthandaza lokhu, ngidinga ukukhumbula amaphutha ami amaningi. Lokhu kuncenga akukhona nje kuphela, kepha kudala ukuthobeka nobubele kwabanye.
Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. (Math. 22:39)
Kwandisa inhliziyo yami ukuthanda njengoNkulunkulu, futhi ngalokho kungisiza ukuba ngibe njengomntwana ngokwengeziwe.
Babusisiwe abanesihe, ngokuba bayakwenziwa isihe. (Mathewu 5: 7)
ASIHOLISE EKULINGWENI…
Njengoba uNkulunkulu “Akalingi muntu,” kusho uSt. James, [7]isib. Jakobe 1:13 lokhu kunxusa kungumthandazo ogxile eqinisweni okuthi, noma sixolelwe, sibuthakathaka futhi siyaphansi “Inkanuko yenkanuko, ukuheha kwamehlo, nokuphila kokuzenzisa.” [8]I-1 John 2: 16 Ngenxa yokuthi "sinenkululeko yokuzikhethela", uJesu usifundisa ukuthi sincenge uNkulunkulu asisebenzisele leso sipho ukudumisa uNkulunkulu ukuze…
… Zinikeleni kuNkulunkulu njengavuswa kwabafileyo, nezitho zemizimba yenu kuNkulunkulu njengezikhali zokulunga. (Rom 6:13)
KODWA SIKHULULE EKUBI.
Okokugcina, uJesu usifundisa ukukhumbula usuku ngalunye ukuthi sisempini yokomoya “Nababusi, namandla, nababusi bezwe balobu bumnyama bamanje, kanye nemimoya emibi ezulwini.” [9]I-Eph 6: 12 UJesu ubengeke asicele ukuba sithandazele “uMbuso ukuba uze” ngaphandle kokuthi imithandazo yethu isheshe lokhu kuza. Futhi ubengeke asifundise ukuthandazela ukukhululwa uma ngabe kungazange kusisize ngokweqiniso empini yokulwa namandla obumnyama. Lokhu kucelwa kokugcina kuqinisa kuphela ukubaluleka kokuncika kwethu kuYise kanye nesidingo sethu sokuba njengezingane ezincane ukuze singene eMbusweni weZulu. Kusikhumbuza futhi ukuthi sihlanganyela emandleni Akhe ngaphezu kwamandla wobubi.
Bheka, ngikunike amandla 'okunyathela izinyoka' nawofezela nasebandleni eliphelele lesitha futhi akukho lutho oluzokulimaza. Yize kunjalo, ungajabuli ngoba imimoya ingaphansi kwakho, kepha jabula ngoba amagama akho abhaliwe ezulwini. (Luka 10-19-20)
