Iviki 2: Izinhliziyo Eziphukile

1. IZINHLIZIYO EZAPHUKILE

 

UNkulunkulu akafuni sibe nezinhliziyo ezilukhuni. ETestamenteni Elidala nelisha, uNkulunkulu watshela ama-Israyeli ukuthi ayenezinhliziyo ezilukhuni futhi ayengabantu abahlubukayo, abantamo-lukhuni (Eksodusi 32:9; IzEnzo 7:51). 

 

Uma utshala imbewu, kukhona ukuphila ngaphakathi, kodwa kunegobolondo eliqinile elizungezile. Ngaphambi kokuba size kuKristu, amanxeba nobuhlungu ezimpilweni zethu kwakha igobolondo eliqinile ezinhliziyweni zethu. Lelogobolondo eliqinile liyisono—imvelo endala, imvelo kaSathane—futhi lakha udonga phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nathi. Kufanele siphulwe ukuze izithelo zikaMoya kanye nempilo kaKristu kuvele. Uma lelogobolondo eliqinile livuleka, impilo kaKristu igeleza ngathi, iyasihlanza, futhi isikhulule. Kodwa inhliziyo elukhuni iyawuvimba uMoya.

 

“Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuba uhlamvu lukakolweni luwele emhlabathini futhi lufe, luhlala lodwa; kodwa uma ifa, ithela izithelo eziningi.” Johane 12:24 ( ESV)

 

 

2. UNGAKWEHLI I-FOCUS

 

• Lapho ukhonza uNkulunkulu, uzozwa ubuhlungu, ukulahlwa, nokuphathwa ngendlela engafanele ( 1 Petru 2:21; Johane 15:18 ). Kodwa ungavumeli isitha sisuse ukugxila kwakho kuBaba sikususe kulezo zenzakalo ezibuhlungu.

 

• Uma sigxilisa amehlo ethu kuJesu, sizohamba ngoMoya wakhe namandla, futhi angasisebenzisa ukukhulula imiphefumulo eNingizimu Afrika.

 

KHULEKA: Nkosi, siyaphenduka lapho ebesigxile khona ebuhlungwini bethu hhayi kuwe. Njengoba sibheke Kuwe, sithandazela ukuthi Usinike amandla okukhulula imiphefumulo eNingizimu Afrika. Amen.

 

 

3. EPHUKILE

 

Kunomehluko phakathi kokuba nenkolo nokuba nobuhlobo noNkulunkulu. Umuntu okholwayo angazalwa ngokusha, afunde iBhayibheli, athandaze, angoni. Benza konke okulungile emehlweni abantu kanye neBandla kodwa bentula into eyodwa: ukufa kuyena. Ukuphila kwabo, izinto eziza kuqala kubo, nezifiso zabo ziza kuqala, hhayi ezikaNkulunkulu.

 

Abantu benkolo bayazivikela lapho othile ebalimaza, futhi baba nezinhliziyo ezilukhuni. Kodwa abantu boMoya basebenzisa ukuphuka kwabo (kusukela ezilonda, ekwaliwa, njll.) ukuze bathambe njengoJesu. Uma singakwazi ukuhlanganyela ekuhluphekeni Kwakhe, asikwazi ukuba nenhlanganyelo Naye.

 

“Ngiyobanika inhliziyo eyodwa [inhliziyo entsha] futhi ngibeke umoya omusha phakathi kwabo; ngiyokhipha inhliziyo yetshe [eqiniswe ngokwemvelo] enyameni yabo, ngibanike inhliziyo yenyama [ezwelayo nesabelayo ekuthinteni kukaNkulunkulu wabo].” ( Hezekeli 11:19 )
