Usuku 10: Amandla Aphilisayo Othando

IT uthi kuJohane wokuQala:

Thina siyamthanda, ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala. ( 1 Johane 4:19 )

Lokhu kuhlehla kwenzeka ngoba uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda. Ngezinye izikhathi amaqiniso anzima obhekene nawo yingoba uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda. Ukuphulukiswa nokukhululwa oqala ukukuthola kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda. Wakuthanda kuqala. Ngeke ayeke ukukuthanda.

UNkulunkulu uqinisekisa uthando lwakhe ngathi ngokuthi lapho siseyizoni uKristu wasifela. (Rom 5: 8)

Ngakho-ke, qhubeka uthembele ukuthi Uzokuphilisa nawe.

UyiNkosi
Jesu, Jesu, ngiyakuthanda Jesu

Futhi noma umhlaba ukhohliwe,

Imiphefumulo ifinyelela okungaphezu kwesikhashana
O, iPhakade lifikile kimi futhi langikhulula, lingikhulule...

Ngiyakuthanda Jesu,
Wena uyiNkosi, Nkosi yami, Nkosi yami, Nkosi yami
Jesu, ngiyakuthanda Jesu
UyiNkosi

Amandla Othando

UKristu uyakuphilisa ngamandla othando lwakhe. Eqinisweni, ukuphulukiswa kwethu kuyadingeka, ngokwengxenye, ngoba nathi sinakho uhlulekile ukuthanda. Futhi ngakho ukugcwala kokuphulukisa izoza lapho mina nawe siqala ukulandela iZwi likaKristu:

Uma nigcina imiyalo yami, niyohlala othandweni lwami, njengoba nje nami ngiye ngagcina imiyalo kaBaba futhi ngihlala othandweni lwakhe. Lezizinto ngizikhulume kini, ukuze intokozo yami ibe kini, lokuthi intokozo yenu igcwale. Yilo umyalo wami wokuba nithandane, njengalokho nginithandile. Akakho onothando olukhulu kunalolu, lokuthi umuntu adele ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe. Ningabangane bami uma nenza lokho enginiyala ngakho. ( Johane 15:10-14 )

Akukho ukugcwala kwenjabulo kuze kube yilapho siqala ukuthanda indlela uJesu asithanda ngayo. Akukho ngempela ukuphulukiswa okuphelele ezimpilweni zethu (kwemiphumela Yesono Sokuqala) kuze kube yilapho sithanda njengoba Wasibonisa. Abukho ubungane noNkulunkulu uma senqaba imiyalo yakhe.

Njalo entwasahlobo, uMhlaba “uyaphulukiswa” ngoba “uhlala” emzileni wawo ngaphandle kokuchezuka. Kanjalo futhi, owesilisa nowesifazane badalelwa ukuba baphile ngokuphelele futhi ngokuphelele emgudwini wothando. Uma sisuka kulokho, izinto ziyaphuma ekuzwaneni bese kuba nesiphithiphithi esithile ngaphakathi naseduze kwethu. Futhi ngakho, ngokuthanda nje siqala ukuzelapha thina kanye nezwe elisizungezile.

…khumbula amazwi eNkosi uJesu ngokwayo eyathi, 'Kubusisekile ukupha kunokwamukela.' ( IzEnzo 20:35 )

Kubusisekile kakhulu ngoba onothando ungena ngokujula ekuhlanganyeleni noNkulunkulu.

Ukuphulukisa Ubudlelwano

Khumbula futhi i-axiom:

Awukwazi ukubuyela emuva ushintshe isiqalo,
kodwa ungaqala lapho ukhona futhi ushintshe isiphetho.

Indlela yeBhayibheli yokusho lokhu ithi:

Phezu kwakho konke uthando lwenu kalube ngomunye nomunye, ngokuba uthando lusibekela inqwaba yezono. (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 4:8.)

Ngosuku lwesi-6, sikhulume ngokuthi ukuntula kwethu ukuthethelela abanye ngokuvamile kungavezwa “ngehlombe elibandayo.” Ngokukhetha ukuthethelela, siphula lawo maphethini kanye nokusabela kwamathumbu, okuletha ukwahlukana okwengeziwe. Kodwa kudingeka siqhubekele phambili. Kudingeka sithande abanye njengoba uKristu asithandile.

“Uma isitha sakho silambile, siphe ukudla; uma somile, siphuzise; ngoba ngokwenza njalo uyakubuthela amalahle avuthayo ekhanda layo. Unganqotshwa ngokubi kodwa nqoba okubi ngokuhle. ( Roma 12:20-21 )

Uthando lunqoba ububi. Uma uPawulu ethi, “izikhali zempi yethu azizona ezezwe kodwa zinamandla kaNkulunkulu okubhidliza izinqaba,”^[1]I-2 Cor 10: 4 ke ukuthanda iyinhloko phakathi kwezikhali zethu. Ibhidliza amaphethini amadala, imicabango, nezindonga ezigxile ekuzivikeleni, ekuzivikeleni, uma kungebona ubugovu. Isizathu siwukuthi uthando alusona nje isenzo noma umuzwa; kuyi-a Umuntu.

…ngokuba uNkulunkulu uluthando. ( 1 Johane 4:8 )

Uthando lunamandla kangangokuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lusetshenziswa ngubani, ngisho nongakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, lungashintsha izinhliziyo. Senziwe ukuba sithande futhi sithandwe. Luphulukisa kanjani uthando, ngisho nakumuntu ongamazi!

Kodwa uthando lweqiniso kufanele lubukeke kanjani ekusebenzelaneni kwethu?

ningenzi lutho ngobugovu noma ngokuzazisa; kunalokho, thobelani abanye njengabakhulu kunani, yilowo nalowo angabheki okwakhe, kodwa futhi wonke umuntu abheke nokwabanye. Yibani nesimo sengqondo esifana nesenu kuKristu Jesu, yena, nakuba enesimo sikaNkulunkulu, akabhekanga ukulingana nokuthile. Kunalokho, wazidela, ethatha isimo sesigqila… (Fil 3:2-7)

Uma kuziwa ebudlelwaneni bakho, ikakhulukazi labo abalimele kakhulu, yilolu hlobo lothando - uthando lokuzidela - oluguqula kakhulu. Yilokhu kuzidela kobumina “okusibekela inqwaba yezono.” Nansi indlela esiguqula ngayo isiphetho sendaba yethu yamanxeba: uthando, njengoba uKristu asithandile.

Kujenali yakho, cela iNkosi ukuthi ikukhombise ukuthi ifuna uthande kanjani labo abaseduze nawe - umndeni wakho, abangani, osebenza nabo, ofunda nabo, njll. - kodwa ikakhulukazi ukuthi ungabathanda kanjani labo ongazwani nabo, okunzima ukuthanda, noma abangabuyiseli uthando. Bhala phansi lokho ozokwenza, lokho ozokushintsha, lokho ozokwenza ngokuhlukile.

Bese ukhuleka ngengoma engezansi, ucele iNkosi ukuthi ikusize futhi ikugcwalise ngothando lwakhe. Yebo, Thando, hlala kimi.

Uthando Live in Me

Uma ngikhuluma ngezilimi zezingelosi, nginesiphiwo sokuprofetha
Qonda zonke izimfihlakalo… kodwa ungabi nalo uthando
anginalutho

Uma nginokholo lokususa izintaba, nginikele ngakho konke enginakho
Ngisho nomzimba wami ukuba ushiswe ... kodwa ngingenalo uthando,
Angilutho

Ngakho, Thanda lihlala kimi, ngibuthakathaka, O, kodwa Thanda, Wena unamandla
Ngakho, Uthando luhlala kimi, akusemina
Kufanele uzifele
Nothando luhlala kimi

Uma ngibiza kuye ubusuku nemini, nikelani, O, nizile ukudla, nikhuleke
“Ngilapha, Nkosi, nansi indumiso yami”, kodwa ungabi nalo uthando
anginalutho

Uma nginconywa ukusuka olwandle kuye olwandle, shiya igama nefa
Phila izinsuku zami kuze kube yinkulungwane nantathu, kodwa ungabi nalo uthando
Angilutho

Ngakho, Thanda lihlala kimi, ngibuthakathaka, O, kodwa Thanda, Wena unamandla
Ngakho, Uthando luhlala kimi, akusemina
Kufanele uzifele

Futhi uthando lubekezelela zonke izinto,
Futhi uthando luthemba zonke izinto
Futhi uthando luyabekezela
Futhi uthando alusoze lwaphela

Ngakho-ke, uthando luhlala kimi, ngibuthakathaka, O ngibuthakathaka kakhulu,
O kodwa Love, Unamandla
Ngakho, Uthando luhlala kimi, akusemina
Kufanele uzifele
Nothando luhlala kimi
Uthando hlala kimi, O Thanda live kimi
