Iningi lamaKristu liye lezwa noma lacula ngokuthi isigodi sase-Akori siwumnyango wethemba. Kodwa ingabe bayazi ukuthi kwenzekani esigodini sase-Akori nokuthi kungani isigodi sase-Akori siwumnyango wethemba?? Izikhathi eziningi amaKristu acula izingoma kodwa awayazi incazelo yamagama. Bacula baphimisele amagama, ukuthi uma kuqhathaniswa nendlela yabo yokuphila ayihambelani. Kulula kakhulu ukucula iculo elinomculo omnandi namagama anyakazayo futhi uholwe imizwa efudumele engacacile nemizwa. Ingabe uyayazi incazelo yesigodi sase-Akori eBhayibhelini nokuthi isigodi sase-Akori simelelani??
UJoshuwa kanye nedolobha laseJeriko
Ukuze uthole ukubaluleka kwesigodi sase-Akori, kufanele siye eNcwadini kaJoshuwa. KuJoshuwa 5:13, sifunda ngenduna yamabutho kaJehova, owabonakala kuJoshuwa ephethe inkemba ehoshiweyo esandleni sakhe. Lapho uJoshuwa embona, wawa ngobuso, wakhuleka. UJoshuwa wambuza ukuthi yini okufanele amtshele yona.
Induna yamabutho kaJehova yayala uJoshuwa ukuba akhumule izicathulo zakhe. Kungani uJoshua kwadingeka akhumule izicathulo zakhe? Ngoba indawo, lapho uJoshuwa ayemi khona kwakungcwele. UJoshuwa walalela amazwi enduna yamabutho wakhumula izicathulo zakhe.
UJehova watshela uJoshuwa ukuthi wayenikele iJeriko esandleni sakhe. UJehova wembula icebo lakhe kuJoshuwa futhi wamyala uJoshuwa okwakumelwe akwenze, Igxathu emvakwe gxathu.
Lapho uJehova esemnike konke uJoshuwa, UJoshuwa wabiza abapristi nabantu bakwa-Israyeli. UJosha wabelana ngalokho iNkosi emtshele khona futhi wanikeza lo myalelo olandelayo:
Umuzi waseJeriko nakho konke okungaphakathi (ngaphandle kukaRahabi nendlu yakhe) uyakuba ngeqalekisiweyo. Nawe, noma kanjani ziphepheni entweni eqalekisiweyo, funa nizenze niqalekiswe, lapho uthatha into eqalekisiweyo, wenze ikamu lika-Israyeli libe yisiqalekiso, futhi uyikhathaze. Kodwa lonke isiliva, kanye negolide, nezitsha zethusi nezensimbi, abangcweliselwe iNkosi: bayakungena endlini yengcebo yeNkosi (UJoshuwa 6:17-19)
UJoshuwa akagcinanga ngokunika abantu lo myalo, kodwa wachaza nokuthi kungani abantu babengavunyelwe ukuthatha noma yini emzini waseJeriko. UJoshuwa wabatshela, kuzokwenzekani uma bengawulaleli lo myalo weNkosi.
Kwenzekani ngemva kokuwa kweJeriko?
Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli balalela amazwi kaJehova. Futhi ngakho banqoba futhi babhubhisa idolobha laseJeriko. Kodwa akubona bonke abalalela umyalo weNkosi.
Kwakukhona indoda eyodwa, abahlubuka emyalezweni kaJehova. Lo muntu akalalelanga amazwi kaJehova ashiwo uJoshuwa. Kodwa lendoda yalalela inyama yayo.
Waholwa yizinkanuko zakhe zenyama kanye nokuhaha futhi wathatha ezintweni eziqalekisiweyo. Lo muntu waletha izinto eziqalekisiweyo etendeni lakhe, wazifihla emhlabathini. Ngenxa yesenzo sakhe, lonke ibandla lakwa-Israyeli laliqalekisiwe.
Ngokuhlubuka komuntu oyedwa, lonke ibandla lakwa-Israyeli laqalekiswa
Ngenxa yalokho okwakwenziwe yile ndoda, UNkulunkulu wabashiya abantu baKhe. Lokhu kwabonakala lapho abantu bephuma beyohlasela umuzi wase-Ayi. Esikhundleni sokushaya umuzi wase-Ayi, amadoda ase-Ayi abulala 3000 Israyeli.
U-Israyeli wona emazwini kaJehova futhi weqa isivumelwano sikaJehova. ngalokho u-Israyeli waba oqalekisiweyo (Funda futhi: Ungakwazi yini ukuba nesandla esonweni sokholwa nabo?).
Ngoba u-Israyeli wayeqalekisiwe, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babengenakuma phambi kwezitha zabo.
UJehova wayengeke esaba no-Israyeli ngaphandle kokuba abantu bakwa-Israyeli babhubhise okuqalekisiweyo phakathi kwabo.
Abantu kwakufanele bangcweliswe ukuze uNkulunkulu ahlale nabantu baKhe futhi.
UJehova wayala uJoshuwa ukuba angcwelise abantu futhi abatshele, kungani bengakwazanga ukumelana nezitha zabo. Wamtshela nokuthi yini okufanele bayenze ukuze basuse oqalekisiweyo phakathi kwabo.
Isivumo sika-Akhani kuJoshuwa
Ekuseni, UJoshuwa waletha u-Israyeli ngezizwe zabo futhi wathatha isizwe sakwaJuda. UJoshuwa waletha umndeni wakwaJuda futhi wathatha umndeni wamaZera. Futhi lapho ethatha umndeni kaZera, indoda ngomuntu, athathe uZabdi. UJoshuwa waletha indlu yakhe indoda ngendoda, uJoshuwa wamthatha u-Akani. Wayengubani u-Akhani? u-Akani indodana kaKarmi, indodana kaZabidi, indodana kaZera owesizwe sakoJuda.
UJoshuwa wabhekana no-Akani futhi wacela u-Akani ukuba anikeze inkazimulo kuJehova futhi enze isivumo kuJehova. Wacela u-Akhani ukuthi amtshele, ayekwenzile futhi wangamfihlela. U-Akani wavuma futhi watshela uJoshuwa ukuthi wonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
U-Akani watshela uJoshuwa, ukuthi lapho ebona ingubo enhle yaseBabiloni, amashekeli angamakhulu amabili esiliva, inkezo yegolide, isisindo sayo singamashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu, wabafisa. Wawathatha, wawathukusa emhlabathini etendeni lakhe.
Kwenzekani ku-Akhani ngemva kokuvuma kwakhe izono?
Kwenzekani ku-Akhani ngemva kokuvuma izono kuka-Akhani? UJoshuwa wathuma izithunywa etendeni lika-Akani, ukuqoqa izinto eziqalekisiweyo. Izithunywa zathatha izinto zazisa kuJoshuwa nakubantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Babeka okuqalekisiweyo phambi kweNkosi.
UJoshuwa nabantu bakwa-Israyeli bamthatha u-Akani, isiliva, ingubo, umcengezi wegolide, amadodana namadodakazi akhe, izinkabi zakhe, izimbongolo zakhe, izimvu zakhe, ithente lakhe, futhi u-Akani wayenakho konke. Base beletha u-Akhani, umndeni wakhe nefa lakhe kuze kufike esigodini sase-Akori.
Wathi uJoshuwa, Usihluphelani? INkosi iyakukuhlupha namuhla (UJoshuwa 7:25).
Ngemva kwamazwi kaJoshuwa, wonke u-Israyeli wamkhanda u-Akani ngamatshe esigodini sase-Akori. Sebebakhanda ngamatshe bafa, bawashisa, bamisa phezu kwakhe inqwaba enkulu yamatshe.
Kungani u-Akani wabulawa esigodini sase-Akori?
Kungani u-Akani wabulawa esigodini sase-Akori? U-Akhani wabulawa ngenxa yokuthi u-Akani wahlubuka kuNkulunkulu futhi akalalelanga amazwi eNkosi uNkulunkulu. U-Akhari waba uhlupho kwa-Israyeli, oweqa entweni eqalekisiweyo.
Ngenxa yokuhlubuka kuka-Akhani nokungalaleli uNkulunkulu kanye nomsebenzi wakhe omubi, Kodwa, umndeni wakhe, yonke impahla yakhe yakhandwa ngamatshe esigodini sase-Akori, yafa.
Kwenzeka kanjani ukuba isigodi sase-Akori sibe umnyango wethemba?
Lapho oqalekisiweyo esuswa futhi ebhujiswa phakathi kwabantu, uJehova waphenduka ekuvutheni kwentukuthelo yakhe. Isigodi sase-Akori sasisho ukuphela kuka-Akani nomndeni wakhe; ukufa. Kodwa isigodi sase-Akori saba umnyango wethemba kubantu bakwa-Israyeli. Ngoba esigodini sase-Akori, isimo sashintsha futhi abantu bakaNkulunkulu babuyisana noNkulunkulu.
Ububi ebandleni basuswa futhi uNkulunkulu waba nguNkulunkulu wabo futhi baba abantu bakhe.
Bobabili u-Isaya noHoseya baprofetha futhi babhala ngesigodi sase-Akori.
Baprofetha mayelana ukufika kukaMesiya uJesu UKristu futhi lowo Jesu’ umsebenzi wokuhlenga esiphambanweni wawuyoba umnyango wethemba, wonke umuntu, ababezokholwa kuJesu Kristu futhi bamamukele njengoMsindisi futhi bamenze iNkosi phezu kwezimpilo zabo.
Ngokungalaleli komuntu oyedwa u-Adamu, ububi bangena futhi sonke isintu saqalekiswa.
Wonke umuntu, owayeyozalwa enzalweni ka-Adamu wayeyothonywa ububi futhi ayeyozalwa eyisoni futhi efanelwe isijeziso sokufa. (Funda futhi: Ingabe uhlale uyisoni njalo?).
UJesu Kristu waba kanjani umnyango wethemba
Nawe, nifile ezonweni zenu nasekungasokini kwenyama yenu, Uphile kanye Naye, selithethelele zonke iziphambeko; Wesula umbhalo wesandla wemithetho owawumelene nathi, okwakuphambene nathi, wayisusa endleleni, ewubethela esiphambanweni saKhe; Futhi esonakalisa izikhulu namandla, Wababukisa obala, enqoba phezu kwabo kuwo (AbaseKolose 2:13-15)
Kodwa ngenxa yothando olukhulu lukaNkulunkulu ngabantu, UNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana Yakhe uJesu Kristu emhlabeni. UJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, waba Ibambela lomuntu owile. Wathwala zonke izono nobubi bomhlaba futhi wathatha isijeziso sokufa (ngenxa yokungalaleli kuka-Adamu uNkulunkulu) phezu kwaKhe. Ukuze, wonke umuntu, abakholwa Kuye futhi bamamukele njengoMsindisi neNkosi futhi babe azalwe kabusha kuye, kwakungeke kusadingeka ukuba athwale lesi sijeziso. (Funda futhi: Ukuthula okwabuyiselwa uJesu phakathi komuntu owile noNkulunkulu).
UJesu futhi wathwala izono zakho nobubi bakho futhi wathatha isijeziso sokufa sezono zakho phezu Kwakhe. Wachitha igazi Lakhe eliyigugu ukuze abuyisele (philisa) nawe futhi ubuyisane noNkulunkulu. Wakunika amandla okuba yindodana kaNkulunkulu (lokhu kusebenza kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane) ngokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu nangoMoya wakhe.
UJesu wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe futhi wakwenzela konke lokhu, ukuze namukele enye imvelo (Imvelo kaNkulunkulu). Ngalesi mvelo esisha akufanele. ukuphila isikhathi eside njengesoni ngokungalaleli uNkulunkulu, kodwa uyakuphila njengongcwele ekulaleleni uNkulunkulu. Uyokhululeka futhi uhambe ekulungeni futhi uthole ukuphila okuphakade.
Kuyini ukubaluleka kwesigodi sase-Akori eBhayibhelini?
Ngakho-ke, bheka, Ngizomyenga, limlethe enkangala, futhi ukhulume kahle kuye. Futhi ngiyomnika izivini zakhe kusukela lapho, nesigodi sase-Akori sibe ngumnyango wethemba: lizahlabelela khona, njengasezinsukwini zobusha bakhe, nanjengasosukwini lokukhuphuka kwalo liphuma ezweni laseGibithe (Hoseya 2:14-15)
Siyini ukubaluleka kwesigodi sase-Akori?? Indawo yase-Akori yindawo, lapho umuntu omdala kanye nemvelo yakhe embi enesono efa futhi umuntu omusha evuka ekulungeni.
Lapho uya esigodini sase-Akori, kusho ukuphela kwempilo yakho njengesoni nezenzo zaso ezimbi kanye nemikhuba. (Funda futhi: Usuku lwesishiyagalombili, usuku lokudalwa okusha).
Esigodini sase-Akori, ubeka phansi impilo yakho endala. Futhi esigodini sase-Akori impilo yakho entsha njengoba indalo entsha iqala, nxa umoya wakho uvuka kwabafileyo ngoMoya oNgcwele. (Funda futhi: Inqubo ebuhlungu eyaziwa ngokuthi ukufa).
Okwekhehla, isigodi sase-Akori sisho isigodi sezinkathazo. Kodwa ngomuntu omusha, isigodi sase-Akori sisho umnyango wethemba (Hoseya 2:15).
Lapho usulungele ukubeka phansi impilo yakho endala futhi uzinikele kuJesu Kristu futhi umlalele futhi wenze intando kaJesu; intando kaNkulunkulu, kuphela lapho usulungele ukuya esigodini sase-Akori. Kubalulekile uku bala izindleko ngaphambi kokuthi wenze lesi sinqumo.
