[La ngamava anikelwe ngumKristu ovusiweyo ehamba phantsi kwegama elithi "BEROEAN KeepTesting"]
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba sonke (ngaphambili-amaNgqina) sabelana ngeemvakalelo ezifanayo, iimvakalelo, iinyembezi, ukudideka, kunye nokubonakala okubanzi kwezinye iimvakalelo kunye neemvakalelo ngexesha lokuvuka kwethu. Ndifunde okuninzi kuwe nakwabanye abahlobo abathandekayo abadityaniswe kwiiwebhusayithi zakho. Ukuvuka kwam kwakuyinkqubo ecothayo. Kukho izizathu ezifanayo esabelana ngazo ekuvukeni kwethu.
Ukufundiswa kwe-1914 kwakuyinto enkulu kum. Emva kokuphanda ngesihloko ngokunzulu, ndiye ndabona ukuba sasikhona nesona sizathu siphambili sokufundisa okugcweleyo, kwaye oko kukuthi, iQumrhu Elilawulayo kufuneka lisebenze. Ngaphandle kwayo, akunakubakho kuvavanywa kwi-1918, ngenxa yoko akukho basebenzi beQumrhu Elilawulayo. Ke ngoko, kubalulekile ukuba isebenze.
Le yayiyinxalenye enkulu yokuvuka kwam, kodwa hayi eyona nto inkulu. Ndikhathazeke kakhulu ngenkqubo ethe ngcembe yolawulo oluncinci lweentetho, iinxalenye ezithile ezintlanganisweni, imiboniso ebhaliweyo, yonke into elingana ngqo neQumrhu Elilawulayo elalifuna sithethe ngayo. Kwiminyaka edlulileyo, ndiyibonile ityhilizela ecaleni ukubonakalisa ukholo lwabahlobo. Oku kundikhathazile ngokunzulu, njengoko ugxininiso lwaya lusanda ngakumbi malunga nokuthetha nokuhambisa umxholo kanye indlela ezazifuna ngayo iinkokheli. Beluphi ukholo lwethu? Yanyamalala kancinci. Kwakuyimbono yam, ngaphambi kokuba ndiyeke ukuya kwiintlanganiso ngo-2016, ukuba ixesha liyeza apho siza kuthi, ngesicatshulwa, kanye le nto yayifunwa liQumrhu Elilawulayo emnyango enkonzweni, phantse ngelizwi.
Ndikhumbula ukugqibela kwam ukusebenza noMveleli weSekethe. (Khange ndiphinde ndisebenze nomnye.) Kwakungowama-2014. Ndaya emnyango kunye naye sisebenzisa iBhayibhile kuphela-into endandihlala ndiyenza ngamanye amaxesha (yonke iminyango engama-20 ukuya kuma-30 ngokurhabaxa). Sithe xa sibuyela ecaleni kwendlela wandimisa. Wayejonge ngqo emehlweni, kwaye ecaphukisa wandibuza, "Kutheni ungayisebenzisanga loo nto?"
Ndamcacisela ukuba ngamanye amaxesha ndisebenzisa kuphela iBhayibhile ukugcina izibhalo zisengqondweni yam. Wathi, “Bekufanele ukuba nilandele icebo leQumrhu Elilawulayo.”
Emva koko wajika wemka kum. Bendi hlanya. Ndisandul 'ukukhalinyelwa kukusebenzisa iLizwi likaThixo emnyango. Oku kwakukhulu kum! Kwakuyinto enkulu yokuhamba kwam.
Ndiyakwazi ukuvuka kwindawo yam yokuvuswa kwezinto ezimbini ezinobunzima. Kum, zazinkulu. . . Ngokwembhalo NgoSeptemba we2016, mna nomfazi wam sanikwa ukhenketho olukhethekileyo eWarwick ngumntakwe-wam kunye nosisi. Siphathwe kukhenketho olukhethekileyo lwegumbi lenkomfa leQumrhu Elilawulayo. Uninzi alunakuze luyibone loo nto. Nangona kunjalo, umntakwethu usebenza kunye neQumrhu Elilawulayo. Iofisi yakhe ihleli ecaleni kwamalungu amanye eQumrhu Elilawulayo, kwaye eneneni, ahlala ngokuthe ngqo evela kubhuti Shaeffer (sp?), Umncedisi kwiQumrhu Elilawulayo.
Xa singena kwigumbi lenkomfa, bekukho i-TV ezimbini ezinkulu ezinamacala amabini macala eludongeni lasekhohlo. Kwakukho itafile enkulu yenkomfa. Ngasekunene, kwakukho iifestile ezazijonge echibini. Babeneemfama ezizodwa ezivaliweyo kwaye zavulwa ngolawulo lwerimothi. Kwakukho idesika yelungu leQumrhu Elilawulayo langaphambili — andikhumbuli ukuba leliphi. Yahlala kwangoko ngasekunene komnyango xa wawungena. Ngqo ngaphesheya komnyango wangaphambili, kwaye ujongene netafile yenkomfa, kwakukho umzobo omkhulu, omhle kaYesu ophethe igusha kunye nezinye iigusha zimngqongile. Ndikhumbula ndithetha ngayo, into ecaleni kwemigca, “Mhle lo mfanekiso kaKristu ubambe iigusha. Usikhathalele sonke. ”
Undixelele ukuba lo mzobo wenziwe lilungu eliswelekileyo leQumrhu Elilawulayo. Ucacise ukuba ichaza izimvu ezingalweni zikaYesu zimela abathanjiswa abangamaNgqina kaYehova. Zonke izimvu zimele isihlwele esikhulu.
Ngeli xesha kanye awathethayo la mazwi, ndeva ukugula kuphuma kum endingenakuchaza. Elo yayilixesha lokuqala kwaye KUPHELA apho ndandikhe ndanabo, kuyo yonke le minyaka nokhenketho esasiluthathe, ndaziva ngathi kufuneka ndiphume kwangoko. Kundibethile njengethoni yezitena! Okukhona ndandiye ndifunda, kokukhona ndiya ndisiqonda isiseko esingasekelwanga ezibhalweni sale mfundiso. Omnye umcimbi okhokelele ekuvuseni kwam, ndiyakholelwa, wawubelula kakhulu kunakuqala nangayiphi na enye into, kuba oko kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba libe lixesha lam lokufunda. . . ingqiqo kuphela. Kwiminyaka emininzi edlulileyo, ndiye ndabona abantu abaninzi, abaninzi, aboyikekayo aboyika uThixo, abanothando kakhulu emhlanganweni. Kwakukho izizathu ezininzi kwaye ezahlukeneyo zokunduluka kwabo. Abanye bashiyeka ngenxa yokufunda nzulu kunye nokungavumelani nemfundiso. Ndiyazi ngabaninzi abaye bashiya ngenxa yendlela ababephathwa ngayo abanye ebandleni.
Kukho udade omnye endikukhumbulayo, umzekelo, owayemthanda uYehova kakhulu. Wayekwiminyaka yakhe yamashumi amathathu. Ube nguvulindlela, wasebenza nzima esebenzela umbutho. Wayethobekile kwaye wayehlala ezinika ixesha lokuhamba aze athethe kunye nabahlobo abaninzi ababedla ngokuhlala ngokuzolileyo ngaphambi kweentlanganiso. Wayemthanda ngokwenyani uThixo, kwaye wayengumntu olilungisa kakhulu. Ndazi oovulindlela abambalwa kwibandla lakhe ababemphatha njengabagxothiwe. Ngoba? Indoda yakhe, eyayifana naye, yaqala ukuthandabuza iimfundiso. Wakhula iindevu, kodwa waqhubeka esiya ezintlanganisweni. Ndikwiqela leemoto xa abahlobo, ngasemva kwakhe, babethetha krwada nangokungeyonyani malunga neendevu zakhe. Wabamba umoya wentetho kwaye wayeka ukuya. Ndandinomsindo koovulindlela ngokwenza oku. Bekufanele ukuba ndithethile, kodwa ndiye ndathula ngayo. Oku bekuphakathi kwe-90s. Oovulindlela bamphatha kakubi, kuba wayetshate naye; asikho esinye isizathu! Ndikhumbula konke kakuhle. Omnye umzalwana onguvulindlela wakha wandixelela ngeli qela loovulindlela, “Ndisebenze naba dade kule mpelaveki iphelileyo, kwaye andinakuze ndiphinde ndisebenze nabo! Ndiza kuphuma ndedwa, ukuba akukho bhuti siza kusebenza nabo. ”
Ndiqonde ngokupheleleyo. Abo vulindlela babedume ngokuhleba. Ngapha koko, lo dade umangalisayo uthathe izithuko ezingenabubele kunye nokuhleba, kodwa wahlala iminyaka embalwa. Ndaya komnye woovulindlela ndaza ndasongela ngokuthetha nabaveleli ukuba lehlebo ayipheli. Omnye wabo uvele waqhala amehlo wasuka kum.
Lo dade unobubele wayeka ukuya kwiintlanganiso yaye akazange abonwe kwakhona kuzo. Wayengomnye wabanquli bakaThixo abathandekayo nabanyanisekileyo endibaziyo. Ewe, eyona nto yandivusayo yayikukubona uninzi lwabahlobo banothando beshiya umbutho. Kodwa ngokwemfundiso yeQumrhu Elilawulayo, basemngciphekweni wokuphulukana nobomi babo kuba bengeyonxalenye yombutho. Ndiyazi ukuba oku kuphosakele, kwaye akukho zibhalweni. Ndiyazi ukuba ayiphulanga nje kuphela iingcinga zamaHebhere 6:10, kodwa nezinye izibhalo. Ndiyazi ukuba zonke ezi zinto zisenokwamkeleka kwiNkosi yethu ethandekayo, uYesu ngaphandle kombutho. Ndiyazi ukuba inkolelo ayilunganga. Emva kokuthatha inxaxheba kuphando olunzulu kangangexesha elide, ndiyibonisile le nto kum. Bendinyanisile. Izimvu zikaKristu ezithandekayo zifumaneka kwihlabathi liphela, kwiinkolo ezininzi zamaKristu kunye namabandla kwihlabathi liphela. Ndimele ndiyamkele njengenyaniso. Yanga iNkosi yethu ingasikelela bonke abo bayithandayo nabavukela kwinyaniso.
Ubungqina obumangalisayo. Andinakuvuma ngakumbi. Ndibe yi-JW ukusukela ngo-1970 kwaye ngathi ubonile utshintsho oluninzi. Oko avulwe amehlo am ndinokuqonda okunzulu kweZibhalo kunye nothando analo uKristu kuthi sonke. Eyona nto inkulu evule amehlo am sisenzo esingasekelwanga ezibhalweni sokuphepha usapho kunye nokuphepha abanye ekukuphela kwabo "ulwaphulo-mthetho" olungavumelani nombutho. Ndaye ndafunda iCrisis of Isazela kunye nokuKhangela iNkululeko yamaKristu nguRay Franz. URay uchaza iimvakalelo zam ngokuchanekileyo! Yanga iNkosi yethu ingaqhubeka ikusikelela!
Ndiyabulela i-BKT, unamava anceda ekuqinisekiseni ukuba yintoni abanye abaninzi abaye bayigqiba ngokuchanekileyo. Emva kokubhala malunga nabo unokucinga ukuba abanakuqondwa ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa qiniseka, ngamanye amaxesha la “mfutshane” (anjengokupeyinta kukaYesu nezimvu) anganegalelo elikhulu kuba ahambisa umyalezo ocacileyo, onamandla, kwaye uphelele ngentsingiselo yokuba akukho ndawo ukuthandabuza malunga nenjongo okanye indlela... Funda ngokugqithisileyo "
Enkosi ngeentetho zakho. Oddly ngokwaneleyo, amava am, nangona eneenkcukacha ezahlukileyo, iindlela ezifanayo. Ndicinga ukuba baninzi abaninzi njengathi. Njengokuphaphama okungakumbi, ukufunda ngamava afana neyakho kunokuba sisikhuthazo esinamandla sokunceda abanye kwinkqubo yabo yokuvuka. Ubabalo noxolo kuwe.
Enkosi ngokunika amava akho. Amava akho abuyisa iinkumbulo ezininzi zabantu endibathandileyo nabahlonelwayo emabandleni. Abo ubaziyo bayamthanda uYehova kwaye baneenjongo ezintle. Babengafuni kuqatshelwa. Bathandile nje into esasisazi njenge “Nyaniso ”nabantu. Ndishiyeke malunga nexesha elinje ngawe kwaye ndiyabakhumbula kakhulu abo. Ndiyathemba ukuba ekuhambeni kwexesha zonke ezi zinokunxibelelana kwakhona.
