Gcina Ukuthula Kwangaphakathi Naphezu Kwezimo Eziguqukayo

“Ngithulile futhi ngawuthulisa umphefumulo wami.” - IHubo 131: 2 

 [Kusuka ku-ws 10 / 18 p.27 Disemba 24 - 30] 

Kungekude kakhulu ekubukeni le ndatshana bekufanele ngisebenzise isibonelo seHubo 131: 2 kimi. Kwakuyilokho engangikufunda okwakudinga lokhu, futhi izeluleko eziningi ezikuyo zazingasizi ngalutho ukusebenzisa iHubo 132. Uzobona ukuthi kungani kwaba njalo kulokho okulandelayo. 

Isipiliyoni esinikezwe esigabeni sokuqala sinjengomzamo ongacashile wokususa noma ikuphi ukugaxeleka kwamakhulu amalungu eBethel abekade "Yabelwe kabusha" ngonyaka wokugcina noma emibili. Njengoba kuvunyelwe kwesinye isipiliyoni esingasoze sathandeka, ngemuva kokuchitha iminyaka eyi-25 eBethel, bekungumfuziselo omnandi kakhulu kulo mbhangqwana ukujwayela ukuba "buyisa kabushaed ”.  

Leyo yindlela ecwebezelayo, enhle yokuchaza okwenziwa kahle kwehlukaniswe nalokho ababekulindele ukuba ngumsebenzi wabo wokuphila konke. Ngokwalokho esingakuqonda kwabanye abanolwazi olufanayo (ngokususelwa kumavidiyo wabo we-YouTube), kukhona futhi abaningi abangakwazanga ukuphatha umbono onjalo omuhle ngesipiliyoni. Kuvela, okungenani ngawodwana, ukuhanjiswa kabusha okuningi kwenziwa ngaphandle kokuncane ngaphandle kokunikezwa isaziso, futhi ngaphandle kwaluphi uhlobo lwephakeji noma usizo. Ushintsho olungazelelwe lwalesi sibalo esikhulu ngemuva kweminyaka engu-25 yokuqina (njengakwisimo salo mbhangqwana) akumelwe sibukelwe phansi ngomphumela waso onakalisayo enhlalakahleni yomzwelo yabantu.  

Lapho ukushaqeka okungazelelwe okunjengalokhu kuthinta abantu bavame ukubuza imibuzo enjengokuthi, Kungani mina? Kungani manje? Mhlawumbe nakuba kukhathaza abantu abathintekayo, kudingeka sibuze, Kungani kwakukhulu kangaka futhi kungazelelwe ukuncipha kwenani laseBethel? Ukube ukuncishiswa bekuhlelwe kahle bekungahle kuphathwe ngcono ngokulahleka kwemvelo nangokunaka okuningi. Lokhu bekungeke kwenze ukuthi izinamba ziphinde zithunyelwe ngenkani futhi zenze kube lula ukuzilungiselela lezo ezazikhona. Kubuza futhi umbuzo wokuthi kungani konke lokhu kwakudingeka, ikakhulukazi lapho ukuqashwa koFakazi abasebasha abazosebenza eBethel kuyaqhubeka? 

Noma ngabe yini izisusa zalokhu kuguquka — okuhle noma okungaphezulu — ukuhlela, isivinini, isikhathi kanye nokuqalisa bekukubi kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, lokhu kuvela eNhlanganweni ethi ingamaKhristu futhi iqondiswa uJehova. Uma lokho kunjalo, kungani besebenza njengenye yezinkampani “zomhlaba” ezilawulwa kabi. Isimangalo saso sokuba yiNhlangano enothando kakhulu emhlabeni asisho lutho. 

Ukuthola Ukuthula KukaNkulunkulu (Par. 3-5) 

Lezi zindatshana zibhekana nokulingwa uJosefa ahlangabezana nakho. Ngokudabukisayo, ukwenza iphuzu badinga ukuthi iNhlangano isebenzele iqhinga elivamile: ukuqagela. Ukungenzeleli kuleli cala, uma nje uJehova ebusisile uJoseph, lokhu okuqanjiwe akunasisekelo ngokuphelele lapho kuthi, “Cishe wathululela usizi lwakhe kuJehova kaningi. (IHu. 145: 18) Ephendula imithandazo kaJosefu esuka enhliziyweni, uJehova wamnika ukuqiniseka kwangaphakathi ukuthi wayezoba "naye" kukho konke izivivinyo. A—Izenzo 7: 9, 10. ” 

Noma kunjalo, ibhayibheli alisho ukuthi uJehova wamnika yini ukuqiniseka kwangaphakathi kokuthi uJehova wayenaye, nokuthi kungakanani ukuhlupheka kwakhe ahlanganyela khona noJehova. Isizathu sangempela salokhu kuqagela, ukunikeza umbono wokuthi uma nje silingisa njengoJoseph okusolwa ukuthi wenze, khona-ke uJehova uzosilungiselela konke namuhla. Kepha lokhu kungumbono wamanga ngokuphelele. Ukulandisa kweBhayibheli kukhombisa ukuthi uJehova uthatha isinyathelo sokuqinisekisa ukuthi injongo yakhe ayibhuntshisi, njengoba enza kuJoseph, kodwa uma kungenjalo akavamile ukuphazamisa izindaba zabantu.

Ezweni lanamuhla, akunakwenzeka ukuthi noma yimuphi uFakazi adinge usizo oluvela kuJehova ukuze agweme ukubhuntshiswa yinjongo yaKhe. Ngakho-ke, akanasizathu sokungenela. Ngaphandle kwalokho, besizothi uhlela izimo ezizuzisayo kulabo abazama ukushumayela, kodwa hhayi labo abaphethwe yizifo ezimbi nokukhubazeka, noma izingane zabo ezidukile, noma lezo zingane ezithandazela ukuthi ukuhlukunyezwa kwazo kuphele. Imibhalo engcwele ithi uNkulunkulu akakhethi, uNkulunkulu onothando ubengeke akhombise ukukhetha okunje ngale ndlela. 

Phendukela kuJehova ukuze uphinde uthole ukuthula kwangaphakathi (Par.6-10) 

Isigaba 6 sinika esinye isipiliyoni esibangelwa izinkontileka zezezimali ezisanda kwenziwa zeNhlangano. Ithi: “Lapho uRyan noJuliette betshelwa ukuthi isabelo sabo njengamaphayona akhethekile esikhashana sesiphelile, bazizwa bedangele. ”

Yini eyayingadala ukudana okunje? Ingabe lokhu akudikibalanga kungumphumela wokugcizelelwa okunikezwe yiNhlangano emisebenzini okuthiwa yamalungelo, eyenzelwe ukuba ifiseleke futhi yanikezwa isimo sokuzizwa kahle? Ngenxa yalokhu, ukufeza leso simo sokwenziwa 'senkonzo' kuba inhloso kunomphumela wezenzo zenhliziyo yonke. Lapho-ke leyo nhloso isuswa kungazelelwe ngesixwayiso esincane iba ngumqondo ohluphekayo ngokwengqondo.  

Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kugcizelela ngempela ukuthi izabelo zensizakalo ezenziwe ngengqondo ukuthi iNhlangano izenzile wenziwe kanjani. Konke ngenxa yokuthi isabelo sikaRyan noJuliette sokugcina saphela, badikibala. Noma kunjalo akekho noyedwa owayebavimba ukuthi baqhubeke nokushumayela nokusebenzisa isikhathi esilinganayo besenza. Konke okwakushintshile ukuthi bebengasenayo ilebuli esemthethweni eyenziwe iNhlangano enamathiselwe kubo, yokubonisa abanye. Kuyavunywa ukuthi kungenzeka banciphise isikhathi abasichitha beshumayela ngoba kuzodingeka basebenze okungenani okuncane ukuze bakwazi ukuzikhokhela ngendlela yabo esikhundleni sokuthola isibonelelo. Kepha uma ukugxila kwabo bekulokhu kukwenza konke abangakwenza ngezimo zabo ngabe bathokozile njengoba bejwayela izimo zabo ezintsha. Ngempela, lo mbhangqwana ngokwawo kamuva “wabona ukuthi singakwazi ukuqhubeka sisebenziseka kuJehova uma sigcina isimo sengqondo esifanele.”(Par.7) 

Izigaba i-8-10 zibonisa okuhlangenwe nakho kombhangqwana okuthiwa uPhillip noMary. Ngokudabukisayo, baba nenqwaba yokushonelwa ngumndeni nokushintshwa kwezimo esikhathini esifushane. Kodwa-ke, yize bengazibona mathupha ukuthi uJehova ubabusisile ngezifundo zeBhayibheli, kuyinto engacabangeki futhi umbono wabo uqobo. Ukube bebengazitholi lezi Izifundo Zebhayibheli (a) isipiliyoni sabo besingatshelwa (ngoba bekungeke kube okuhle futhi futhi bekungeke kufaneleke nomyalezo iNhlangano ofuna ukuwuhambisa) futhi (b) ibhayibheli alikuphakamisi nokuthi uJehova busisa noma ngubani ngezifundo Zebhayibheli. Kunalokho umShumayeli 9: I-11 ithi “Ngabuya ngabona phansi kwelanga ukuthi abagijimayo abanawo umjaho, nabanamandla abayikuwa nayo impi, nabahlakaniphileyo abanakho ukudla, nabaziqondayo nabo abanayo ingcebo, Ngabe ngisho nalabo abanolwazi bayathandwa; ngoba isikhathi nesenzakalo esingalindelekile sehlela bonke." 

UJesu futhi wakubeka kwacaca lokhu lapho athi kuLuka 13: 4 “Noma labo abayishumi nesishiyagalombili bawelwa phezu kwabo umbhoshongo eSilowamu, bababulala, niyacabanga ukuthi baba nesikweletu esikhulu kunabo bonke abanye abantu abahlala eJerusalema?” Yebo, isikhathi nesenzakalo esingalindelekile sasibhekele izifundo zeBible.  

Umbuzo okufanele ucatshangelwe yilokhu okulandelayo: Ngabe bonke abanye abasebenzi baseBethel abacelwa ukuba bahambe, bathole izibusiso ezifanayo, noma ngabe babenesimo esihle noma esingcono kunalo mbhangqwana? Akunakwenzeka. Lesi sipiliyoni sicashunwe kuphela njengoba kufanelana nesithombe iNhlangano efuna ukusipenda. Lesi sithombe kubukeka sengathi 'samukela noma yini evela kithi, noma ingahle iphathe kabi noma ingenzeleli, futhi matasa ekushumayeleni futhi uJehova uzokwenza konke kube ngcono.'  

Nikeza uJehova okuthile ukuze akubusise (Par.11-13) 

Isigaba 13 sinikeza esinye isilinganiselo. “Kodwa-ke, uma sihlala sibekezele futhi sisebenza kanzima ukwenza okusemandleni ethu, siyonika uJehova okuthile angakubusisa. ” Manje ngenkathi lokho kungenzeka kuyiqiniso, impela kuncike kulokho esikubekezelayo, nokuthi yini esisebenza kanzima kukho. Ingabe uJehova wayezobusisa ukubekezela, alinde amathemba enziwe ngumuntu ukuze kubonakale angakuboni kufanelekile ukubeka izwi lakhe? Ikakhulu, uma lawomathemba amanga kungenxa yokulandela abantu esikhundleni sezwi lakhe, okuthile indodana yakhe uJesu Kristu axwayisa ngakho ukuze singadukiswa? Ngokufanayo, ukusebenza kanzima ekushumayeleni bekungeke kubusiswe uma sishumayela amanga. Futhi ngeke sisebenze kanzima ngokuqokwa kwamalungu ebandla esikhundleni sezimfanelo zobuKristu. 

Hlala ubheke ku-Ministry yakho (Par. 14-18) 

Isigaba 14 siyaqhubeka nokuzama ukukhuthaza ukwesekwa 'Kwezaqathi' zenhlangano. Uma sikhuluma ngoPhillip umvangeli, uthi “Ngaleso sikhathi, uPhilip wayejabulela ilungelo lenkonzo elisha. (Izenzo 6: 1-6) ”. Kungani kwaba lilungelo? UPhillip nabanye banikezwa isabelo esibalulekile ngoba babekufanelekela ukusisingatha futhi benenhlonipho ngamanye amaKristu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakuyisicelo samadoda (yize abaphostoli), hhayi inkonzo kaNkulunkulu njengemisebenzi exhunywe ekukhonzeni kweThempeli. UPhilip nabanye bebengakaze 'balwele ukufinyelela' leli lungelo.  

Ukuhlaziya lo mcimbi kuqhubeke, uFiliphu nabanye bafanelwa 'ukugcwala umoya ongcwele nokuhlakanipha' nokuhlonipha labo ababezobakhonza. Yeka ukuthi kufana kanjani nabesilisa abaningi abamisiwe namuhla, abangafaneleki ngokuhlangenwe nakho noma komoya ongcwele noma ukuhlakanipha noma abangahloniphi kangako amaKristu abakanye nabo, kodwa nokho banikezwe 'amalungelo enkonzo ' yiNhlangano, imvamisa ngenxa yokuthi bazi bani, noma ngoba bagxume ngamahabhu wokufakelwa abekwe yiNhlangano, njengamahora amancane asenkonzweni yasensimini inyanga ngayinye. 

Isigaba 17 siyaqhubeka nesipiliyoni sokuqhubekisela phambili uhlelo lweNhlangano lwenkonzo ngazo zonke izindleko. Lapha, ngokuhlukile kokunye kokuhlangenwe nakho kwangaphambilini akukho okulungile kulombhangqwana okwadingeka uphume eBethel. Babengenamsebenzi ngakho-ke babengenayo imali (futhi kungekho mali ababezobuyela ngayo) izinyanga ezintathu. Kodwa ngokusho kwabo ukuthi bamatasa bashumayela esikhundleni sokumatasa nokuzingela imisebenzi kwabasiza ukuba bangakhathazeki. 

Mhlawumbe izindleko zokuphila zishibhile lapho bebehlala khona, kepha lokho kungenzeki edolobheni elikhulu njengeLos Angeles noma iNew York noma iLondon noma amadolobha amakhulu. Lapha izindleko zokudla kanye nerenti zazizobashiya ngokushesha bezikweletu ezinkulu futhi zingenamakhaya emigwaqweni. Futhi, bekungeke kwenzeke ukuthi noma yimuphi uFakazi esikanye naye abe esenele ngokwanele ukuba abe nefulethi noma indlu enesikhala sokubanikeza indawo yokuhlala. 

Ngokuqhathanisa okuhlangenwe nakho kwangaphambilini kwezigaba 8-10 kubonakala sengathi lo mbhangqwana awubusiswanga ngezifundo zeBhayibheli ukuze uzikhuthaze, noma kubukeka sengathi zazifanele, okungenani ngamazinga eNhlangano. Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kunikeza isizathu esicacile sokuthi kungani kungalungile ukuphakamisa ukuthi uJehova ubusisa abantu kulezi zimo, ngoba akazange ababusise okungenani izinyanga ezintathu ezinzima. 

Silinde ngesineke kuJehova (Par.19-22) 

Lesi sigaba sokugcina siyindaba yakudala yombhalo okhishwe emongweni waphenduka waba yimfundiso, yona leyo ephikisana nezimfundiso zeBhayibheli ezicacile. 

Isiphakamiso sokuthi ukulindela uJehova ukuba axazulule izinkinga esingase sibe nazo, kusekelwe ikakhulu kumbhalo wokufunda kaMika 7: 7 othi “Kepha mina, ngizohlala ngibheke uJehova. Ngizobonisa isimo sokulinda uNkulunkulu wensindiso yami. UNkulunkulu wami uzongizwa. ” 

Ake siqale ngokuhlola umongo: 

Ingxenye yokuqala yevesi ithi “Kepha mina, kungokukaJehova ngizohlala ngibheke”. UMika wayengumprofethi kaJehova omisiwe. (Namuhla, asisikho.) Ubekade enikeza izigijimi zikaJehova zokuxwayisa kumaJuda nakuma-Israyeli ngesikhathi sokubusa kweNkosi uJothamu, Ahazi, noHezekiya (UMika 1: 1). Lokhu bekuphakathi kwe777 BCE ne717 BCE (WT dating). Ngenxa yobubi nokukhohlakala okwakushubile ayephila phakathi, waxwayisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu “Ningabeki ukholo lwenu kumngane. Ungabeki ithemba lakho kumngane oyimfihlo. ”(UMika 7: 5)  

Ngakho-ke, kunokuba abeke ithemba lakhe komunye um-Israyeli ongathembekile, wayezokwethembela kuJehova njengomngane wakhe nomngane wakhe oyimfihlo. Kepha akukho okuphakamisa ukuthi wayelindele ukuthi uJehova azolungisa noma ahlele noma yini lapho ngaphandle kwalokho. Esikhundleni salokho ukulinda kwakufika isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu esifanele sokujeziswa kwabo bobabili iSamariya neJerusalema (elalimelela imibuso yabo). Kwakuzokwenzekani? UMika 7: I-13 ithi "Izwe liyakuba yincithakalo ngenxa yezakhamuzi zalo, ngenxa yezithelo zokusebenzelana kwazo."  

Manje, kungenzeka ukuthi uMika waphila ukubona ukubhujiswa kweSamariya, iminyaka eyi-20 enhle kamuva noma kungenzeka ukuthi wayengenayo. Ngokuqinisekile akazange aphilele ukubona ukujeziswa kweJerusalema ngabaseBabiloni okwenzeka eminyakeni eyikhulu kamuva. 

Kuyacaca-ke ukuthi isimo sokulinda kanye nokubheka bekungokukaJehova ukufeza izethembiso ezenziwa eziprofethweni uMika aphefumulelwa nguMoya oNgcwele ukuzenza. Wayengalindele ukuthi uJehova angenelele yena uqobo futhi amhlelele izinto, nokho lokho kungumphumela weNhlangano ozama ukuwuveza noma usho ukuthi wenzekile. 

Ngokudabukisayo, mhlawumbe imiphumela emibi kakhulu yalokhu kusebenzisa kabi “ukulindela uJehova” ukuvumela kwabadala ababi noma ababi ukuba bahlale ezikhundleni zabo. Lokhu kusekelwe ekuqothulweni okungafanele kwalesi simiso, okusho ukuthi uJehova uzobasusa lapho sekuyisikhathi sakhe, nokuthi okwamanje, ngoba uJehova unesihe, nathi kufanele sibe kulaba bantu ababi. Ukuphela kwesikhathi uJehova ayobasusa ngaso kuzoba e-Amagedoni, ngesikhathi sakhe esimisiwe esikulindeleyo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, okwamanje, kuphansi kithi. 

Lo omunye umkhuba olimazayo ofundisayo uholela ekusebenzeni kwabadala, futhi kwesinye isikhathi abazali kanye nezisulu, ekusingatheni izinsolo zokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi noma ngokoqobo, ikakhulukazi kwezingane. Esikhundleni sokubika lezi zinsolo zokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi noma ngokoqobo kwiziphathimandla zezwe, uJehova avumele zona ukuba zikwazi ukubhekana nezinto ezinjalo, okwenzekayo ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi abadala abangafundile, kodwa ngokuqinisekile abanalwazi, (abaqokwe ngamadoda, hhayi uNkulunkulu) ukuphatha izindaba ezinjalo uqobo. Lokhu kumane nje kuvumela ababi ukuba baqhubeke kokumbuliwe futhi kuvame ukubashukumisela ukuthi baqhubeke nezenzo zokuhlukumeza. 

Isiphetho 

Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi uJehova akangeneli mathupha ngaphandle kwalapho kuhilelekile ukufezeka kwenjongo yakhe yaphezulu, lokhu akusho ukuthi uJehova akasisizi ngalutho.  

Mhlawumbe umbhalo osemqoka ongawuthatha kule ndatshana (par.5) nguFiliphu 4: 6-7 okusikhumbuza lokhu:

“Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kodwa kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko nokunxusa kanye nokubonga; futhi ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu okudlula konke ukucabanga kuyolinda izinhliziyo zakho namandla akho engqondo ngoKristu Jesu ”.

Ngakho-ke, ngokusho kwalo mbhalo, uma sithandaza, ngokwethu singakuthola 'ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu'. Lapha uMoya wakhe oNgcwele usinikeza ukuzola kwengqondo futhi ungaletha ezingqondweni zethu izimiso zemibhalo esizifundile ukuze sikwazi ukubhekana nesimo esivivinyayo. 

Kufanele sikhumbule nokuthi yize ezosisiza ngale ndlela, njengoba uJehova evumele bonke abantu ukuba babe nenkululeko yokuzikhethela, akaphoqi abanye ukuba basisize. Futhi akahleleli abanye ukuba basikhethele isifundo seBhayibheli. Futhi ngeke ayeke abanye basishushise, noma ahlele ukuthi othile asinike umsebenzi. Futhi ngeke ayeke ukusebenzisa kabi igunya nokuthenjwa ngabantu ababi. Lezi zinto kufanele siziphathe futhi simise lapho kungenzeka khona.  

Ukuzimisela komKristu ukuthethelela lapho kukhona ukuphenduka okuqotho akusho ukuthi umuntu owenza amacala amabi kangaka angajeziswa “nguNgqongqoshe kaNkulunkulu” —iziphathimandla zezwe. Ukwenza ngale ndlela kungenza ibandla lingene ebulelesi obunjalo futhi libi nakakhulu, kungenza kube lula ngalowo owonile ukuthi ahlukumeze abanye. (KwabaseRoma 13: 1-4)
