Kunezithunzi ezimbili empilweni, lapho umuntu angahlala khona. Umuntu angahlala ethunzini loPhezukonke noma umuntu angahlala ethunzini lokufa. AmaKristu azothi, ukuthi bahlale emthunzini kaNkulunkulu uSomandla. Kodwa kuyiqiniso lokho? Kushiwo kalula kanjalo, kodwa kusho ukuthini ukuhlala emthunzini woPhezukonke? Uhlala nini ethunzini loPhezukonke futhi uhlala nini ethunzini lokufa ngokwebhayibheli?
Liyini ithunzi lokufa?
Lapho umuntu edukiswa amanga kasathane futhi wahlubuka kuNkulunkulu futhi wona, ukufa kwangena kumuntu, futhi umoya womuntu wafa futhi umuntu weza ngaphansi kwegunya likadeveli nombuso wakhe futhi waphila ethunzini lokufa.
Umuntu wayengowokufa nawo wonke umuntu, owayezozalwa, uzozalwa eyisoni embusweni wobumnyama futhi aphile ethunzini lokufa futhi emva kokufa kwemvelo kungena eHayidesi.
Ikhehla (indoda ewile) uboshelwe embusweni wobumnyama futhi ungowokufa.
Uma nje umuntu engazalwa ngokusha futhi inyama iqhubeka iphila, ukufa kuyobusa njengenkosi ekuphileni komuntu futhi umuntu uyohlala ethunzini lokufa.
Uhlala nini ethunzini lokufa?
Lapho umuntu ehlala ethunzini lokufa, ingqondo yenyama yomuntu iyoba mnyama futhi ibuswe umbuso wobumnyama. Konke umuntu akwenzayo kuvela emqondweni omnyama kanye nangethonya nokulawula umbuso wobumnyama namandla abo.
Ngakho-ke umuntu, ohlala ethunzini lokufa uyakwenza imisebenzi engalungile, athele isithelo sokufa, okuyisono.
Umuntu uyophila ngokwenyama futhi abuswe ingqondo futhi enze imisebenzi yenyama futhi aphikelele esonweni, lapho umuntu engathokozisi uNkulunkulu kodwa uSathane. Ngoba isono asimthokozisi uNkulunkulu, kodwa udabukisa uNkulunkulu futhi ubangela ukuhlukana.
Isono siyamjabulisa udeveli futhi siyamphakamisa futhi simhloniphe usathane futhi simnika amandla (Funda futhi: ‘Amandla kasathane asetshenziswa yisono )
Isigodi sokufa yindawo, lapho ukufa kubusa ngesono. Futhi ngoba ukufa kuyabusa, umphumela uzobonakala endaweni yemvelo, okubonakala ngemizwa yomuntu.
Siyini isithunzi soPhezukonke?
Abantu ababehamba ebumnyameni babone ukukhanya okukhulu: abahlala ezweni lethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya kwakhanya phezu kwabo (Isaya 9:2)
Abantu ababehlezi ebumnyameni babona ukukhanya okukhulu; futhi kwabahlezi esifundeni nasethunzini lokufa ukukhanya kuye kwaphumela (sekusile) (Mathewu 4:16)
Nawe ngane, uzakuthiwa umprofethi woPhezukonke: ngoba uzakuhamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo; ukunika abantu bakhe ulwazi lwensindiso ngokuthethelelwa(intethelelo) ezonweni zabo, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu wethu; okusihambele ngalo ukusa kwaphezulu, ukubakhanyisela abahlezi ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, ukuqondisa izinyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula (Luka 1:76-79)
UJesu nguye yedwa uMuntu, ongahlenga umuntu emandleni obumnyama nasethunzini lokufa.
Ngakho-ke ukuphela kwendlela yokuhlengwa ethunzini lokufa nasemandleni ombuso wobumnyama ingokukholwa kuJesu Kristu kanye ukuvuselelwa kuye; ukufa kwenyama nokuvuka komoya kwabafileyo.
Ngokuvuselela, inyama yenu ibethelwe esiphambanweni kuKristu nomoya wakho uvusiwe kwabafileyo, eningabe nisahlala ngakho ethunzini lokufa, nihlala embusweni wobumnyama, bebuswa imimoya yombuso wobumnyama (Umhlaba), kodwa niyohlala ethunzini loPhezukonke, niphile embusweni wakhe, nibuswe nguMoya wakhe oNgcwele.
Owasikhulula emandleni obumnyama, wasesidlulisela embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo: Esinokuhlengwa kuye ngegazi laKhe, ngisho nokuthethelelwa kwezono (AbaseKolose 1:13-14)
Ngokuvuselela, senidlulisiwe embusweni wobumnyama ningene embusweni kaJesu Kristu, lapho uJesu Kristu eyiNkosi futhi ebusa.
Uhlala nini ethunzini loPhezukonke?
Ngoba uyasuthisa umphefumulo olangazelayo, futhi umphefumulo olambileyo ugcwalise ngokuhle. Abahlezi ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, bebotshiwe ekuhluphekeni lensimbi; Ngoba bahlubuka emazwini kaNkulunkulu, futhi wadelelwa (edelelekile) iseluleko soPhezukonke: Ngakho wehlisela phansi izinhliziyo zabo ngomshikashika; bawa phansi, futhi kwakungekho osizayo. Base bekhala kuJehova ekuhluphekeni kwabo, futhi Wabasindisa ezinsizini zabo. Wabakhipha ebumnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, bagqabula izibopho zabo. O kwangathi abantu bangadumisa uJehova ngobuhle bakhe nezimangaliso zakhe kubantwana babantu! (IHubo 107:9-15)
Ngeke usahlubuka emazwini kaNkulunkulu futhi uhlale ethunzini lokufa futhi ingqondo yakho ngeke isafiphazwa ngamanga futhi ulawulwe amandla ombuso wobumnyama futhi uthele isithelo sokufa., okuyisono futhi uphikelele esonweni futhi ungajabuli futhi udangele futhi uphile ngokudangala nokwesaba. Kodwa uyakuhlala emthunzini woPhezukonke.
Ohlezi ekusithekeni koPhezukonke uyakuhlala emthunzini kaSomandla (Amahubo 91:1)
Uyohlala ethunzini loPhezukonke futhi ngoba ingqondo yakho ikhanyiselwe ngeQiniso likaNkulunkulu futhi uyabusa empilweni yakho., uzohamba emva kweZwi noMoya futhi uveze isithelo sikaMoya futhi wenze imisebenzi elungileyo futhi ujabule, aneliseke futhi aphile ngokuthula kukaNkulunkulu.
Uyothokoza Ngaye futhi uyolalela uNkulunkulu neZwi Lakhe futhi uhambe ngentando Yakhe futhi uyokwenza zonke lezo zinto, ezithokozisa uJehova, zimphakamise.
Ngeke usathembela kuwe futhi uthembele emhlabeni futhi uhambe ebumnyameni, kodwa uyobeka ithemba lakho kuNkulunkulu futhi wethembele eZwini Lakhe futhi uyohamba ngokukholwa ngokweZwi laKhe ekukhanyeni.
Uma nje ulalela uNkulunkulu futhi uhlala kuJesu Kristu; iZwi futhi bahambe ngokulandela uMoya, niyohlala emthunzini Wakhe nihambe egunyeni Lakhe namandla Akhe nibuse phezu kwenyama yenu, isono, nokufa naphezu kwebutho lonke lesitha, ozama ukuyenga abantu ukuba bone futhi abenze bahlubuke kuNkulunkulu futhi baphile ngokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu.
Ehlala ethunzini loPhezukonke esigodini sokufa
Yebo, noma ngihamba esigodini sethunzi lokufa, angiyikwesaba okubi: ngoba Wena unami; intonga nodondolo lwakho ziyangiduduza (IHubo 23:4)
Nakuba umhlaba uwohloka futhi ububi bukhona futhi isono sibusa kakhulu, awuyikunyakaziswa, ungesabi, ngoba uthembele kuNkulunkulu futhi wencika eZwini Lakhe futhi ume eZwini Lakhe futhi ungachezuki eZwini Lakhe.
Uyazi ukuthi oPhezukonke unawe futhi uyakuvikela. IZwi lakhe noMoya wakhe oNgcwele kuhlala kini futhi uyonihola, akududuze, futhi ngikugcine.
Umhlaba uhlala ethunzini lokufa
Uma siqalaza, siyabona ukuthi izwe lihlezi ethunzini lokufa. Isono sikhulu kakhulu, ukuthi ububi nokufa kuyabusa futhi kubangele ukubhujiswa futhi kwenza izisulu eziningi. Ifike kanjani le kude? Bekungafika le, ngoba iBandla liye lawushaya indiva umsebenzi walo futhi liye lahamba ngendlela yalo esikhundleni sokugcina indlela kaNkulunkulu futhi lenze intando yaKhe emhlabeni. (Funda futhi: ‘UMlobokazi kaKristu okhululiwe‘).
Amasonto amaningi awasekho ngokomoya, kodwa bangabantu benyama futhi banomphefumulo futhi esikhundleni sokuba ofakazi bakaJesu Kristu futhi bashumayele amazwi kaNkulunkulu, banamahloni Ngaye nangamazwi Akhe futhi bashintshile futhi balungisa amazwi Akhe ukuze afanele ukuphila kwabo kwenyama kanye nomhlaba..
Balishintshile ivangeli futhi bayekethisa nezwe, ukugwema ukushushiswa nokuvimbela abantu, abangabezwe, ekucasukeni.
Bagxile enhlalakahleni yabo nasekuchumeni kwabo emhlabeni nasekuziqhenyeni kwabo, bahambe ngokwentando yabo, esikhundleni sokuzithoba kuNkulunkulu naseZwini Lakhe futhi enze intando Yakhe futhi ammele, amise futhi alethe uMbuso Wakhe kubantu, abahlezi ebumnyameni.
Ngenxa yalokho isono sidlangile futhi sesithathe indawo eyengeziwe, lapho ukufa kwandise amandla ako. Yebo, ukufa sekuzuze amandla engeziwe, ngisho nakumaKristu, abavuma uJesu ngomlomo wabo kodwa bakhonze usathane ngezinhliziyo nezimpilo zabo baphike uJesu Kristu baphikelele esonweni. Izinhliziyo zabo azisokile kuJesu Kristu, kodwa izinhliziyo zabo zisengezikadeveli, ngalokho abasafuna ukwenza izinkanuko zikayise (Funda futhi: ‘Ukusoka Esivumelwaneni Esisha')
Ngakho-ke izwe lihlala ethunzini lokufa nokufa liyenge amakholwa amaningi ebandla ngamanga akhe lawathatha lawathatha lawasusa amandla kwaze kwacisha izibani ezindaweni eziningi..
Kungenzeka yini ukushintsha lokho? Nakanjani, kodwa umbuzo uthi, ukuthi abantu bazimisele yini ukukhokha inani.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
