Kwanamandla ovuko lwakhe (pt 3)

3.1 Ubhaptizo loMoya

Igama elithi ‘bhaptiza’ kuthetha ukuntywila okanye ukuntywila entweni. Ayisetyenziselwa ubhaptizo lwamanzi kuphela. Ukusetyenziswa okwahlukeneyo kwegama kunokuqondwa ngokubuza ‘Ngubani obhaptizwayo, ngubani, kwintoni?’

Funda 1 Cor 12:13. Apha uPawulos ubethelela umanyano lwawo onke amaKristu, ngokusalatha kumsebenzi woMoya oyiNgcwele xa sizalwa ngokutsha (bona ‘Nge, In & Phaya’ ngokuyinxenye 1). Kule meko ‘ngabani?’ nguMoya oyiNgcwele, kunye 'kwintoni?’ ngumzimba kaKristu.

Ngoku funda Mk 1:8. Apha ‘ngobani?’ nguYesu, kunye 'kwintoni?’ nguMoya oyiNgcwele. UYesu wakwenza kwacaca ukuba oku kubhekisela kuMhla wePentekoste (Acts 1:5).

Phawula ukuba igama elithi ‘uBhaptizo loMoya’, isetyenziswa ngamaKharismatiki amaninzi nakwaMoya, ayichanekanga kwaphela: ifanele ibe ‘kuBhaptizo nge (okanye kwi) uMoya'. Qaphela kwakhona ukuba, nangona ubhaptizo kukuntywiliselwa kokuqala komntu kwinto ethile, ngokuqhelekileyo kujongwe ukuba kufuneka sihlale kweso simo emva koko. (Sihlala sinxulunyaniswa ngokusisigxina nokufa nokuvuka kukaKristu, nangona isenzo sokomfuziselo sokuntywiliselwa emanzini sinqunyulwa sifutshane ngenxa yezizathu ezicacileyo!).

3.2 Sibhaptizwa nini kwaye njani ngoMoya?

3.2.1 Imizekelo emihlanu

Incwadi yeZenzo inikela umfanekiso ocacileyo wendlela iVangeli eyashunyayelwa ngayo okokuqala, kwaye ngawuphi umphumo. Nazi 5 iziganeko ezichaza amakholwa’ amava okuqala oBhaptizo ngoMoya.

• Acts 2:1-41. Kucacile ukuba eli yayilixesha xa abapostile babhaptizwa ngoMoya (Acts 1:5). Njengoko kuphawulwe ngokuyinxalenye 1 (‘Nge, In & Phaya') amava ayenzeka kwithuba elithile emva kokuzalwa kwabo ngokutsha. (Ngengozi, ayibhalwanga xa abafundi babhaptizwayo emanzini, okanye ngubani). Kwabakho isandi somoya onamandla, Kwabonakala iilwimi zomlilo phezu kwabo, bamdumisa uThixo ngeelwimi (Acts 2:2-12).Nangona kunjalo, UPetros uxelela abantu ukuba ukuba bayaguquka baze babhaptizwe nabo baya kufumana isipho soMoya oyiNgcwele. Ubonisa usindiso, ubhaptizo lwamanzi kunye nobhaptizo ngoMoya njengephakheji epheleleyo; kwaye abantu bayasabela. Babhaptizwa kwangaloo mini; yaye akukhankanywa nakuphi na ukulibaziseka ekubhaptizweni kwabo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele (Acts 2:38-42).
• Acts 8:14-8. Apha kuye kwakho ukulibaziseka okungachazwanga phakathi kobhaptizo lwasemanzini lwamakholwa kunye nobhaptizo lwabo ngoMoya. (Qaphela ukusetyenziswa kwegama elithi 'on’ okanye ‘phezu’ ngaphakathi Acts 8:16). Lo yayingumbandela oxhalabisa abapostile; bathandaza ke, babeka izandla phezu kwabo, bamamkela ke uMoya. Asixelelwa ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kanye kanye; kodwa isiphumo samchukumisa kakhulu owayesakuba yigqwirha uSimon kangangokuba wacinga ukuba kufanelekile ukuhlawulela amandla okuphinda ayivelise kwakhona..
• Acts 9:17-8. USawule sele elikholwa yaye uAnaniyas umbiza ngokuba ‘ngumzalwana.’ U-Ananiyas weza ukuze abuye abone, azaliswe nguMoya. Xa ebeka izandla kuSawule amehlo akhe ayaphila yaye uyaphakama aze abhaptizwe (mhlawumbi emanzini ngokunjalo nangoMoya).
• Acts 10:44-8. UKorneli nabahlobo bakhe bayayikholelwa iVangeli ngethuba beyiva, Wehla uMoya oyiNgcwele phezu kwabo, esashumayela uPetros. Bathetha ngeelwimi kwaye badumisa uThixo; nto leyo ngokucacileyo eyayingumqondiso obalulekileyo kumaYuda, ababethandabuza ukuba abeeNtlanga banokusindiswa (yabona Acts 11:15-8). Ubhaptizo lwamanzi lwafika kamva (Acts 10:47-8).
• Acts 19:1-6. Apha kwakhona kuye kwakho ukubambelela kumava ala makholwa, kule meko ngenxa yokungazi, kwaye uPawulos ngokucacileyo uxhalabile ngayo. Xa befundiswe ngokufanelekileyo baze babhaptizwe emanzini, ubeka izandla phezu kwabo. UMoya oyiNgcwele ufika phezu kwabo kwaye bathetha ngeelwimi kwaye baprofeta.

3.2.2 Nini?

Ngoko ekuphenduleni umbuzo othi ‘Nini?’ sinokuthi akukho mgaqo unzima kwaye ukhawulezayo: kodwa amaKristu okuqala ayeshumayela inguquko nosindiso, kulandele ubhaptizo emanzini nobhaptizo loMoya, njengephakheji epheleleyo kwaye yazama ukugcina naluphi na ukulibaziseka phakathi kwabo kufutshane kangangoko.

3.2.3 Njani?

Kumbuzo othi 'Njani?’ singabona kwakhona kukho inani elifanelekileyo lokwahluka. In Acts 2:2-4 sinomoya ovuthuzayo neelwimi zomlilo: ngaphakathi Acts 9:17-8 siyaphiliswa, kodwa akukho nto yakwenza naziphi na iziqhushumbisi. Izinto ezintathu eziqhelekileyo zibalasele, nangona kunjalo.

• Ngalo lonke ixesha uMoya oyiNgcwele wawunikwa abantu babesele bethandaza okanye baqala kwangoko ukunqula uThixo.
• In 3 ngaphandle kwe 5 iimeko (Acts 8:17,9:17 & 19:6) sixelelwa ukuba abantu babebekwe izandla (kwenye 2 bekukho izizathu zokuba kungenzeki oku: kodwa ke uMoya akazange eme phezu komthendeleko!).
• Kwakhona, ngaphakathi 3 ye 5 iimeko (Acts 2:4,10:46 & 19:6) sixelelwa ukuba bathetha ngeelwimi. Yenye 2 Siyazi ukuba uPawulos wathetha rhoqo ngeelwimi emva koko (1 Cor 14:18) – ngaba oku kwenzeka ngelo xesha okanye kamva? In Acts 8:17-19 kwenzeka into emangalisayo angazihluphi ngayo uLuka ukuyichaza; mhlawumbi into awayeyigqala njengeqhelekileyo ngezihlandlo ezinjalo.

Ubungqina abutsho ukuba umntu kufuneka abhaptizwe emanzini okanye abekwe izandla ukuze abhaptizwe ngoMoya. Ayithi kufuneka ‘ingxole’ amava. Yaye ayitsho ngokupheleleyo ukuba bamele bathethe ngeelwimi. Kodwa bonke ubungqina bubonisa ukuba xa uMoya wawela phezu komntu othile yayingamava agxile kuThixo kwaye kwakukho imbonakalo eqinisekileyo nengaphazamisiyo yamandla akhe angaphezu kwawemvelo.. Oko, emveni kwakho konke, koko uYesu wakuthembisayo (Acts 1:8).

3.3 Ukungena

Akukho 'indlela’ ngenxa yokwamkela ubhaptizo ngoMoya: kodwa ezi zalathisi zilandelayo ziya kuba luncedo.

Zicacele injongo yakho

Ekubeni injongo yobhaptizo ngoMoya kukuba sibe ngamangqina (Acts 1:8) sidlala ngexesha lethu nelikaThixo ukuba sifuna ngaso nasiphi na esinye isizathu.

Thembela kuThixo ukuba uyakwenza ngokufanelekileyo.

UMoya Oyingcwele ngokwendalo awuqikeleleki (Jn. 3:8) kwaye kulula ukwesaba ukuba ngandlela-thile uya kukubeka ezindlebeni zakho kwimeko engenakwenzeka (cf. 1 Kings 18:7-16). Bambi nabo bayoyika loo nto, nangona becela izipho zomoya kuThixo, umtyholi usenokutyibilika ngempendulo ‘yomgunyathi.’ Kodwa uThixo akanjalo! Funda 1 Cor. 10:13 & Luke 11:11-3 uze uwafake entliziyweni yakho. Uya kwenza izinto ngendlela efanele wena.

Yeka ukuzijonga.

Abaninzi abebesoloko bethandazela ubhaptizo, kodwa akamkelwa, bavakalelwa kukuba kungenxa yokuba ngandlel’ ithile ‘abafanelekanga’. Sele sibonile ukuba akuyongxaki ngokwenene; kufuneka nje sibe ‘ngabathunywa’ ngenxa yoMoya oyiNgcwele. Eyona ngxaki kukuba baxakeke kakhulu bezama ukufaneleka: kwaye ukuba uThixo ebevumele ubhaptizo ngeso siseko bekuya kuyijongela phantsi eyona vangeli afuna bayishumayele! Ubhaptizo ngoMoya lunikezelwa ngesiseko esifanayo nosindiso – sisipho esingasifanelanga eso (Gal.3:1-5).

Nikela ingqalelo kuThixo.

Njengoko sele kuphawuliwe, ngalo lonke ixesha xa abantu babhaptizwa ngoMoya baqala ngomthandazo kunye/okanye baphela elunqulweni. Akukho nto efana nonqulo lokwakha ukholo lwakho nokukhuthaza uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba ahambe.

Lindela ukufumana isipho seelwimi.

Kwaphawulwa ngaphakathi inxalenye 2 indlela esasibalasele ngayo isipho seelwimi kwinkalo yokuba owona msebenzi waso wawukukwakha lowo usisebenzisayo. Kwakhona siye sabona ubungqina obunamandla bokuba yayingamava aqhelekileyo amaKristu okuqala. UThixo akatshintshanga, kwaye ‘isithembiso sesakho kwaye … kuba bonke abo iya kubabiza iNkosi uThixo wethu’ (Acts 2:39).

Sebenzisana.

Musa ukulindela ingqondo yakho, okanye ulwimi, ukuba ithathwe. Njengoko unikela ingqalelo ekunquleni uThixo, uya kufumana umnqweno okhulayo wokuvakalisa iimvakalelo zakho kuye. Ngelo xesha, thetha ngazo naziphi na izandi ezifika engqondweni kuqala. Okukhona ucinga ngakumbi ekunquleni uThixo, ngakumbi ulwimi luya kuza ngokutyibilikayo: kwaye kokukhona uzama ukuzimamela kwaye uyihlalutye, kokukhona uya kukhubeka.

3.4 Ukuqalisa…

Sebenzisa oko unako (2 Tim. 1:6)

AmaKristu amaninzi akhulileyo ayakutyeshela ukusebenzisa isiphiwo sokuthetha ngeelwimi kwimithandazo yawo yangasese kuba ecinga ukuba ‘aakhuli.’ UPawulos wayengavumelani noku. ‘Ukurhoxa ngokomoya’ yenza lula isipho esisinikwe nguThixo ukomeleza ubomi bethu bokomoya. Akumangalisi ukuba ukukhula kwethu kumile.

Dlulisa into oyinikiweyo (Mt. 24:45-7 & Luke 6:38).

Kufuneka kwabelwane ngayo: ayigcinwanga.

Musa ukoyika ukungaphumeleli (Mt. 17:16 & Acts 5:16)

Abafundi babeneentsilelo nabo, nangona wayemiselwe nguYesu ngokwakhe: kodwa bafunda ukuphumelela.

Libala ixesha elidlulileyo (Phil. 3:13)

Abaninzi baye baxakwe ziinkumbulo zokusilela okanye impumelelo yexesha elidluleyo. UThixo uthi ‘Kulibale oko, kwaye ucinezele …’

Yiba namabhongo (1 Cor 12:31 & Phil. 3:13)

Ukuzifunela akulunganga: Ukuzondelela ubukumkani bukaThixo kuyancomeka (Jn. 2:17).

Uthando malube yintshukumisa yakho (1 Cor. 13:1-14:1)

Ukuba injongo yakho ilungile, UThixo akayi kukuvumela ukuba uhambe kude kakhulu (Is 30:21).

Mnike uThixo uzuko (Jn. 15:8 & Is. 42:8)

Khumbula ukuba injongo yawo wonke uMoya kukutyhila ubume bukaThixo.
