Isandulelo

IBhayibheli lidala kakhulu. Incwadi yokugcina yeThestamente Elidala yabhalwa ngaphambi kokuzalwa kuka Krestu kanti iThestamente Elisha laqedelwa sekuyophela iminyaka eyikhulu yokuqala AD. Kodwa umlayezo wale ncwadi yakudala uhleze umusha futhi umuhle kuleso naleso sizukulwane.

Ngenxa yokuthi iyiZwi elinikeza impilo elivela kuNkulunkulu ophilayo, selokhu yaba umthombo wamandla kanye nenduduzo yeminyaka ngeminyaka kwizigidi zamakholwa. Umphostoli uPhawuli unalesi siqinisekiso:

Ngiyakholwa ukuthi nakufa, nakuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, nakho okukhona, nakho okuzayo, namandla, nakuphakama, nakujula, nanoma yini enye edaliweyo; akuyukuba namandla okusehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukuKhristu uJesu, iNkosi yethu.

(KwabaseRoma 8:38-39)

Emhlabeni ogcwele ukungabi nasiqiniseko, abantu abasenasiqiniseko sokuthi ukukholwa kusho ukuthini kubo. Kungafani noPhawuli, abakholwa uthando luka Nkulunkulu olungenyakaziswe kubo.

Ngokufunda kula makhasi, sengathi iZwi lika Nkulunkulu, eselihlale ezizukulwaneni eziningi, lingaba amazwi okuhlakanipha akhanyisa indlela osazobhekana nayo.

Ngabona ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kungcono kunobuwula, njengoba nokukhanya kungcono kunobumnyama.

UNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba

Asiqale ngokubheka ukuthi iBhayibheli lisifundisani ngoNkulunkulu njengo Mdali kanye noMbusi woMhlaba kanye nendalo yakhe.

(NgokukaLuka 1:37)

Konke kwavela ngaye; ngaphandle kwakhe akuvelanga lutho kukho konke okuvelileyo.

(NgokukaJohane 1:3)

Owesibili ofana nawo, uthi: ‘Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.’ Kuleyo miyalo yomibili kubambelele umthetho wonke nemfundiso yabaphrofethi.”

(NgokukaMathewu 22:37-40)

Mina ngiyisinkwa sokuphila esehla ezulwini. Uma umuntu edla lesi sinkwa, uyakuphila ingunaphakade. Phezu kwalokho, isinkwa engisinikelayo ngenxa yokuphila kwezwe, singumzimba wami.”

Base bephikisana bodwa abaJuda, bethi: “Lo muntu angasinika kanjani inyama yakhe, ukuba siyidle na?”

Khona uJesu wathi kubo: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: uma ningayidli inyama yeNdodana yomuntu, niphuze igazi layo, aninakuphila. Lowo odla inyama yami, aphuze igazi lami, unokuphila okuphakade; ngiyakumvusa ngomhla wokuphela. Ngokuba inyama yami ingukudla isibili, negazi lami liyisiphuzo isibili. Odla inyama yami, aphuze igazi lami, uhlala kimi, nami kuye. Njengokuba uBaba ophilayo ungithumile, nami ngiphila ngaye, kanjalo nalowo ongidlayo, naye uyakuphila ngami.”

(1 kwabaseKorinte 10:16-17)

Ngomkhuleko

Ngalolo suku aniyukungibuza lutho. Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: noma yini eniyakuyicela kuBaba egameni lami, uyakuninika yona. Kuze kube manje anicelanga lutho egameni lami. Celani, niyakuphiwa ukuze intokozo yenu igcwale.

(NgokukaJohane 16:23-24)

“Celani, khona nizakuphiwa; funani, khona nizakufumana; ngqongqothani, khona nizakuvulelwa. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo ocelayo uyamukeliswa, nofunayo uyafumana, nongqongqothayo uzakuvulelwa.”

(NgokukaMathewu 7:7-8)

Ngelinye ilanga uJesu eseqedile ukukhuleka endaweni ethile, omunye wabafundi bakhe weza kuye, wathi: “Nkosi, sifundise ukukhuleka, njengokuba noJohane wabafundisa abafundi bakhe.”

Wayesethi kubo: “Uma nikhuleka, anothi: :

“ ‘Baba,

malingcweliswe igama lakho;

mawufike umbuso wakho;

siphe namuhla isinkwa sethu

semihla ngemihla;

sithethelele izono zethu,

njengokuba nathi sibathethelela bonke abanecala kithi;

ungasingenisi ekulingweni.’ ”

(NgokukaLuka 11:1-4)

(1 kaJohane 5:14-15)

Ngokuphikisana nesilingo

UNkulunkulu unikeza izindlela zokuqinisa ukukholwa uma ubhekene nesilingo.

UJesu wayeseholelwa nguMoya ehlane ukuba alingwe nguSathane.

UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Suka, Sathane, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Wokhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umkhonze Yena yedwa.’ ”

USathane wayesesuka kuye; kwafika izingelosi zamkhonza.

(NgokukaMathewu 4:1,10-11)

“ ‘Ungasingenisi ekulingweni,

kodwa usikhulule kokubi;

ngokuba umbuso ungowakho,

namandla, nenkazimulo,

kuze kube phakade. Amen.’ ”

(NgokukaMathewu 6:13)

Hlomani izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu, ukuze nibe namandla okumelana namaqhinga kaSathane. Ngokuba asibambene negazi nenyama, kodwa sibambene nemibuso, namandla, nababusi bezwe balobu bumnyama, nabomoya bobubi emkhathini.

(Kwabase-Efesu 6:11-12)

Nimelane noSathane, khona eyakunibalekela.

(EkaJakobe 4:7b)

Zithibeni, nilinde. Isitha senu, uSathane, siyahamba njengebhubesi elibhodlayo, sifuna esingamdwengula. Melanani naye niqinile ekukholweni, nazi ukuthi zona lezo zinhlupheko ziyabehlela nabazalwane benu abasemhlabeni.

(1 kaPetru 5:8-9)

Ubusisiwe umuntu okhuthazelayo lapho elingwa, ngokuba uma esevivinyiwe uyakwemukeliswa umqhele wokuphila, iNkosi ewuthembise labo abayithandayo.

Makungabi bikho muntu othi uma elingwa, athi: “Ngilingwa nguNkulunkulu,” ngokuba uNkulunkulu angelingwe ngokubi, naye luqobo kalingi muntu. Kepha yilowo nalowo muntu ulingwa, ahuhwe yizinkanuko zakhe, futhi ahuheke. Phela uma inkanuko isibambile, izala isono; nesono uma sesiphelelisiwe, sizala ukufa.

(EkaJakobe 1:12-15)

Ngokuzinikela ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu

Ngakho-ke isono masingabusi emzimbeni wenu ofayo, nize nithobele izinkanuko zawo, futhi ninganikeli ngezitho zenu esonweni, ukuba zibe yizikhali zokungalungi, kodwa zinikeleni nina kuNkulunkulu njengabaphilayo, abavukile kwabafileyo; nezitho zenu nizinikeleni kuNkulunkulu, zibe yizikhali zokulunga.

(KwabaseRoma 6:12-13)

Ngakho-ke bhekisisani ukuthi nihamba kanjani, ningabi njengabangahlakaniphile, kodwa njengabahlakaniphileyo,nithengisise isikhathi, ngokuba izinsuku zimbi. Ngakho-ke ningabi yiziwula, kodwa qondani okuyintando yeNkosi. Ningadakwa yiwayini, ngokuba kulo kuvela ukuhuheka, kodwa nigcwaliswe ngoMoya, niphendulane ngamahubo, ngezihlabelelo nangamaculo okomoya, nicule niyihubele iNkosi enhliziyweni yenu, nimbonge njalo uNkulunkulu uYise ngakho konke, egameni leNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu,.

(Kwabase-Efesu 5:15-20)

Ukusabalalisa Izindaba Ezinhle

UNkulunkulu ufuna ukufinyelela emhlabeni ngamakholwa:

Kanjalo, makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuba babone imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamdumise uYihlo osezulwini.

(NgokukaMathewu 5:16)

“Ngakho-ke hambani, nenze izizwe zonke abafundi, nibabhabhadise egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele. Nibafundise ukukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. Niyabona, Mina nginani izinsuku zonke, kuze kube sekupheleni kwezwe.”

(NgokukaMathewu 28:19-20)

“Kepha nizakwamukeliswa amandla, uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu, nibe ngofakazi bami eJerusalema, eJudiya lonke naseSamariya, kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba.”

(IzEnzo 1:8)

Abahlakazekileyo bahamba beshumayela izwi levangeli.

(IzEnzo 8:4)

“Wasiyala ukuba sishumayele kubantu, sifakaze ukuthi nguye omiswe nguNkulunkulu ukuba abe nguMahluleli wabaphilayo nabafileyo. Nguye, bonke abaphrofethi abafakaza ngaye ukuthi bonke abakholwa nguye bayakwemukela ukuthethelelwa kwezono ngegama lakhe.”

(IzEnzo 10:42-43)

Ngiyakuyala ngokweqiniso phambi kukaNkulunkulu noKhristu uJesu oyakwehlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo, ngokubonakala kwakhe nangombuso wakhe, ngithi: shumayela izwi, ulungele ukulishumayela, noma kuyisikhathi noma kungesiso. Sola, ukhuze, ugqugquzele ngakho konke ukubekezela nokufundisa. Ngokuba kuyakufika isikhathi abangayukuyamukela ngaso imfundiso elungileyo.

(2 kuThimothewu 4:1-3a)

Injabulo nokuThula

Abantu abafuna injabulo ezintweni eziphathekayo nangezinjabulo zesikhashana bayashesha ukuphoxeka. Nokho-ke, uma siphila ngokweZwi lika Nkulunkulu, siyoba nenjabulo nentokozo eyohlala impilo yethu yonke.

Kepha lapho sebubonakalisiwe ububele bukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu nothando lwakhe kubantu, wasisindisa; hhayi ngemisebenzi yokulunga esayenza, kodwa ngokwesihawu sakhe, ngokugezwa kokuphindu kuzalwa, ngokuba senziwe basha ngoMoya oNgcwele, amthululela ngokwevileyo phezu kwethu, ngaye uJesu Khristu uMsindisi wethu, ukuze sithi silungisiswe ngomusa wakhe, sibe yizindlalifa zokuphila okuphakade ngokwethemba.

(KuThithu 3:4-7)

Abahlwanyela ngezinyembezi

bayakuvuna ngokuthokoza.

Lowo ohamba ekhala,

ephethe imbewu,

uyakubuya ngokuthokoza,

ethwele izinyanda zakhe.

(AmaHubo 126:5-6)
