LAPHO akusikho ukushumayela ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele. Ngemuva kokuchitha iminyaka emithathu belalele, behamba, bekhuluma, bedoba, bedla nabo, belala eceleni kwabo, futhi bebeka ngisho nasesifubeni seNkosi yethu… abaPhostoli babonakala bengakwazi ukungena ezinhliziyweni zezizwe ngaphandle IPentekoste. Kwaze kwaba yilapho uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo ngezilimi zomlilo lapho umsebenzi weSonto wawuzoqala khona.
Kanjalo futhi, umsebenzi kaJesu—efukamela buthule iminyaka engamashumi amathathu—kwakungeke kuqale aze abhapathizwe, lapho uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu Kwakhe njengejuba. Kodwa uma uzoqaphela, uJesu akazange aqale ngokushesha ukushumayela. Kunalokho, iVangeli likaLuka lisitshela ukuthi “wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele” UJesu waye “eholwa nguMoya ehlane.” Ngemva kokukhuthazelela izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku bokuzila nokulingwa, uJesu wavela “ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. " [1]isib. ULuka 4:1, 14 Kulapho sizwa khona amazwi oMsindisi wethu eVangelini lanamuhla:
Lesi yisikhathi sokugcwaliseka. UMbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele. Phendukani, nikholwe eVangelini.
Uma ungumKhatholika, ubekwe uphawu ngoMoya oNgcwele ngowakho uMbhapathizo kanye neSiqiniseko. Kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi umuntu uyikho ngempela ice ngoMoya kancinyane e amandla kaMoya oNgcwele. UJesu, lo mbazi ongaqondakali waseNazaretha, wakhanga kanjani ngokushesha nangamandla oSimoni, uJakobe, no-Andreya? Ingabe kwakuwuzungu? Ingabe kwakuyisifiso soshintsho? Isithukuthezi? Cha, “kwakungaye, kanye naYe, nakuYe… ebunyeni” [2]ukusuka Umkhosi Wesidlo namandla kaMoya oNgcwele ukuthi izinhliziyo zabo zavuleka.
UMoya oNgcwele uyisithunywa esiyinhloko sokushumayela ivangeli: Nguye ophoqelela umuntu ngamunye ukuba amemezele iVangeli, futhi Nguye lowo ekujuleni konembeza obangela ukuba izwi lensindiso lamukelwe futhi liqondwe. — PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, hhayi. 75
UJesu wakha indlela yawo wonke umvangeli emva Kwakhe, futhi yilokhu: ukuze sihambe ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele, kufanele siqale sizimisele ukuholwa nguMoya. Futhi lokhu kusho ukuholelwa, hhayi kuphela emadlelweni aluhlaza, kodwa esigodini sethunzi lokufa: ogwadule. Ugwadule luwuphawu lwezilingo, izilingo, nemizabalazo yansuku zonke okuthi, uma sithobela intando kaNkulunkulu kukho, kuhlanze ukukholwa kwethu futhi kusenze sithulule ebumina bethu ukuze sigcwaliswe kakhulu amandla kaMoya.
Ingabe uHana, esifundweni sokuqala, akasona isibonelo esihle sogwadule sonke esidlula kulo ngendlela eyodwa noma enye? Ungumphefumulo oyigugu, othandwa kakhulu ngumyeni wakhe. Kodwa akakhulelwa, nakuba ethembekile kuJehova. Ngenxa yalokho, uthathwa ngabanye. Ingabe kubonakala sengathi ngezinye izikhathi uNkulunkulu ukukhohliwe? Ukuthi Uyakucosha? Ukuthi Ubusisa ababi kuyilapho nihlangabezana novivinyo ngemva kwenye? Mfowethu, lo unguMoya okuholela ehlane; dade, lokhu kungukuhlanzwa nokuvivinywa kokukholwa kwakho okukuthululayo ukuze unikezwe amandla nguMoya,ngokuba amandla enziwa aphelele ebuthakathakeni.
Ihubo lanamuhla lithi:
Kuyigugu emehlweni kaJehova ukufa kwabathembekileyo bakhe.
UNkulunkulu akayena umuntu odabukisayo. Akakujabuleli ukusibona sihlupheka njengoba nje nobaba ethanda ukuyala izingane zakhe. Kodwa okuyigugu kuJehova ukubona abantwana Bakhe befa ngenxa yobugovu, ukuzidla, inzondo, umona, ukuminza, njll. Kuyigugu kuJehova ngoba uyasibona-ke sesiba yilokho asidale sibe yikho; kuyigugu ngoba akasishiyi singenalutho futhi sinqunu, kodwa wembesa ukuthobeka, ukubekezela, ubumnene, ubumnene, injabulo, uthando… isithelo sikaMoya oNgcwele.
Ekugcineni uHana wazala indodana sekuyinsakavukela. Kungani engazange abe nomndeni omkhulu njengabo bonke abantu? Lokhu kuseyimpicabadala, njengoba nje ukuhlupheka kwethu okuningi kuzohlala kuyimfihlakalo. Kodwa indodana yakhe uSamuweli yaba ibhuloho elaholela ebukhosini bukaDavide, okwakungumanduleli wokubusa kukaKristu kwaphakade. Ngokufanayo, uJesu akenzanga abafundi bomhlaba wonke. Kodwa izilingo Zakhe ogwadule zabeka isisekelo sokukhetha amadoda ayishumi nambili agcina ezamazamisa umhlaba wonke. Futhi lokho, vele, akuzange kuqale kuze kube yilapho abaPhostoli ngokwabo sebedabula ogwadule lwekamelo eliphezulu.
Nakuba ayeyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela kulokho ahlupheka ngakho… wazidela… walalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni… Ngenxa yalokhu, uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa kakhulu. ( Heb 5:8; Fil 2:7-9 )
Ngakho ungahluleli ugwadule. Vumela uMoya ukuhole. Impendulo ayisithi “Kungani Nkosi?” kodwa “Yebo, Nkosi.” Futhi-ke, njengoJesu noHana ezingwadule zabo, thandaza, ukhuze izilingo zikaSathane, uhlale uthembekile, futhi ulindele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba uguqule ubuthakathaka bube amandla, inzalo ibe inzalo engokomoya, ugwadule lube indawo evundile.
…sinxusa bonke abavangeli, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bangobani, ukuba bathandaze ngokungaphezi kuMoya oNgcwele ngokukholwa nangokushiseka futhi bazivumele ngokuhlakanipha ukuba baqondiswe Nguye njengomgqugquzeli onqumayo wezinhlelo zabo, imizamo yabo kanye nomsebenzi wabo wokushumayela. — PAUL VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, hhayi. 75
Isisekelo esikhulu nesiqinile sempilo kamoya wukuzinikela kwethu kuNkulunkulu nokuba ngaphansi kwentando Yakhe ezintweni zonke…. UNkulunkulu uyasisiza ngempela kungakhathaliseki ukuthi singase sizizwe silahlekelwe ukusekela Kwakhe. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla Ukuhlinzekwa NguNkulunkulu
