Uhulumeni & LikaNgqongqoshe Early Church (pt3)

6. Izinkonzo zoMnyango Wezingcweti

Ephesians 4:11 Uhlu Abaphostoli, kubabheki, Abavangeli, abefundisi nothisha (noma abafundisi - othisha), kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi 'inkonzo yezipho'. 1 Korinte 12:28 uhlu olujwayelekile ngokwengeziwe, kushiya abavangeli nabefundisi, kepha kugcizelele abaphostoli, Abaporofethi Nabafundisi, Kuleyo oda, Futhi ukwengeza izimangaliso, Izipho Zokwelapha, abasizi, Ohulumeni kanye nezilimi.

6.1 Kubabheki

Ukushiwo okokuqala kwabaprofethi esontweni Acts 11:27-8, Lapho befika e-Antiyokiya evela eJerusalema nanye, Ukuguga, kubikezela indlala eJudiya (Ubuye wabikezela ukuboshwa kukaPawulu Acts 21:10). Abaprofethi kwakungeyona into ebalulekile: UPawulu wathola iziprofetho kuwo wonke amadolobha ahamba eJerusalema (Acts 20:23), Ukuphakamisa ukuthi babehlala emasontweni amaningi.

Abanye abaprofethi babenegunya likahulumeni, njengalabo abahola isonto e-Antiyokiya (Acts 13:1-3). UJudasi noSila, Kuthunyelwe e-Antioch ngencwadi mayelana nokusoka, nabo babengabaprofethi (Acts 15:32). Umphostoli uPetru (Acts 5:1-10, 10:9-20), Paul (1 Cor 15:51-2) noJohane (Rev 1:1-22:21) Zonke izinkonzo zokwenziwa okungokwesiprofetho; njengoba kwenza uStefanu (Acts 7:55-6).

Qaphela ukuthi 1 Cor 12:8-11 & 28-29 unikeza uhlu ezimbili ezihlukile: Owokuqala uchaza 'ukubonakaliswa okuthile’ zezipho ezingokomoya ezingaphezu kwemvelo, Njengoba kunikezwe ngentando ngoMoya: Owesibili uchaza inkonzo yabantu esontweni futhi afaka amakhono emvelo amaningi afana nokuphatha. Ukubonakaliswa Kwezikhathi Zokubonakaliswa Kwesipho Esingokwesiprofetho Akuwona Ubufakazi Benkonzo Yesiprofetho (e.g. 1 Sam 19:20-24); Ngenxa yalokho akunasiqiniseko ukuthi yibaphi ingxenye yalabo abasebenzisa izipho zesiprofetho ababezokwamukelwa njengabaprofethi. UFiliphu wayenamadodakazi amane aprofetayo (Acts 21:9); Kepha abachazwanga njengabaprofethi.

6.2 Abavangeli

UHlip, Ekuqaleni eyodwa yabayisikhombisa, wabandakanyeka ngenkuthalo ku-Evangelism, NgoMnyango Wezimpawu Nezimangaliso, Ngemuva kokuhlakazeka kweSonto laseJerusalema ngaphansi kokushushiswa kukaSawule (Acts 8:4-40). Kubonakala sengathi uhlala eKhesariya (Acts 8:40 & 21:8) futhi yayaziwa ngokuthi 'uPhilip umvangeli'.

UThimothi unxuswa uPawulu ukuba 'enze umsebenzi womvangeli’ (2 Tim 4:5). Yize lezi yizo kuphela ezaziwa ngegama, Kuyabonakala ukuthi kunabanye abaningi abanenkonzo efanayo, Abaningi babo abangabonakali babambe noma yisiphi isikhundla sikahulumeni (Acts 8:4, 11:19-21).

Ngokusobala inkonzo kaPawulu eyayikuthi akunakulungile kwavange ukwedlula uPhilip: Kepha uFiliphu wayesebuthakathaka emnyangweni olandelayo, Ukudinga Okokufaka Kwabaphostoli, Ngokwesibonelo, ukuletha umSamariya aguqula ngokuhlangenwe nakho okuhle komoya ongcwele (Acts 8:14-7). UPhilip akabonakali ekhuphuke ngaphezulu kwesikhundla sikahulumeni; Kepha ukungabi nezinye izibonelo okufanele baqhubeke, Ngeke sithi uma lokhu bekujwayelekile.

6.3 Izinceku

Izimfanelo Zabafundisi sezixoxiwe ngenhla 'Abadala'. Nokho, iqiniso lokuthi uPawulu usebenzisa amagama ahlukile kumfundisi nothisha Eph 4:11 kukhombisa lokho, Kulesi simo ucabanga ngesici sokwalusa ikakhulukazi ngokuya ngokunakekela nohulumeni. Ngokusobala abadala babenenkonzo yokwalusa: kanjalo, ngomqondo okhathalelayo okungenani, wenze amadikoni anjengoStefanu, Phebe no-Ephafra (Acts 6:8-10, Rom 16:1, Col 4:12-3).

Kepha njengoba igama livela kanye kuphela, futhi kuvame ukungahlelekile ukuthi ngabe abantu bengamadikoni noma cha, Ngeke siqiniseke ukuthi ngabe kukhona noma yini eyayinenkonzo yokwalusa eyaziwayo kodwa akukho gunya uhulumeni. Ukuntuleka okunjalo kungavimbelani ukunqunyelwa kwenkonzo enjalo; Kepha uDorka (Acts 9:36) noma i-othorus (1 Tim 1:16-8) kungahle kucatshangelwe kwakukhona ukucatshangelwa.

6.4 Othisha

UMnyango Wezokufundisa Ngokuvelela KuseZelwane Ngezenzo (Acts 4:2,18, 5:21-8,42, 11:26, 15:35, 18:11, 20:20, 21:21,28, 28:31). Abaphostoli ekuqaleni bamisa abayisikhombisa ukuze bangaphazanyiswa kulokho ababekubona njengokukholelwa kwabo okuyinhloko, okungukuthi 'umthandazo, kanye noMnyango WeZwi’ (Acts 6:2,4). Abaporofidi nothisha e-Antiyokiya bazinikezela emthandazweni lapho beqondiswa ukuba bathumele uPawulu noBarnabu (Acts 13:1-3).

Lesi sihloko sokugcina ukuphela kokusetshenziswa kwesihloko 'uthisha’ kuzEnzo; Kepha uPawulu uyayisebenzisa kuye 1 Tim 2:7 & 2 Tim 1:11, kanye nokubhala kuso 1 Cor 12:28 & Eph 4:11. Sesibonile ukuthi bonke abadala bekufanele babe nekhono lokufundisa: Kepha abanye babenenkonzo ethile kule ndawo. Idikoni Stephen (Acts 6:9-10, 7:2-53) futhi ikhombise isipho esiqinile sokufundisa.

U-Apholo wayenguthisha obelethayo futhi 'unamandla emiBhalweni’ Ngisho nangaphambi kokuguqulwa kwakhe (Acts 18:24). Kungenzeka ukuthi kamuva waqokwa njengedikoni; Kepha ukusetshenziswa kwethemu ku 1 Cor 3:5 kubonakala ngokuyinhloko. UThimothi wanxuswa ukuba 'afundele ukuze azibonile wamukeleka kuNkulunkulu .. ehlukanisa kahle izwi leqiniso’ (2 Tim 2:15). Umlobi kumaHeberu wabonakala ecabanga ukuthi wonke amaKristu kufanele abe abafundisi (Heb 5:12)!

7. Ibhalansi yezinkonzo kuhulumeni

7.1 Abaphostoli kanye Nezithundla Zabaphostoli

Ekubhekeni i-N.T. ukwakheka, Kubonakele ukuthi izibonelo zazo zonke izinkonzo ezingenhla, Kubandakanya lokho kwe-Evangelist, zitholakala phakathi kwabaphostoli. Lokhu kulindeleke, Njengoba umsebenzi wabo wokusungula iBandla lakuqala adinga ukuthi akwazi ukusebenza kuyo yonke indawo kuze kube yilapho lapho amadoda avuswa ngaphansi kwawo abangahle baphendukela kuye. Okubaluleke kakhulu kubo, nokho, 'umthandazo kanye noMnyango weZwi’ (Acts 6:4).

Okufanayo kubonakala kuyiqiniso ngezihambeli zabaphostoli, Yize kungenzeka ukuthi kukhethwe ngokubuka izinkonzo zabo ezithile kanye nohlobo lomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe (qhathanisa. Acts 4:36,11:22-4, 15:27,32).

7.2 Amademoni

Akukacaci ukuthi igama elithi 'idikoni’ isetshenziswa kahle kulabo abanamathiselwe esontweni elithile. Ngisho nangemva kokuphuma eJerusalema, UPhilip umvangeli wayesachazwa ngaphakathi Acts 21:8 'njengomunye wabayisikhombisa.’

Uchwepheshe Uhlobo Lwamadikoni’ Inkonzo izothambekela ngokwemvelo ekuhlukaneni kwenkonzo. Ngisho naphakathi kukaStefanu, UHlip, Phebe no-Ephafra, Kunobufakazi bezinkonzo ngakunye okungenhla. Uma incazelo yanwetshwa ukwamukela ukwamukela iminyango yendawo-yendawo Lokhu kuhlukahluka kungenzeka kube okubonakala ngokwengeziwe.

7.3 Abadala

Kuyacaca ukuthi abadala’ Umsebenzi oyinhloko 'wokwalusa’ ugcizelele ukugcizelelwa okuthile ezipholweni zokwalusa nokufundisa (1 Tim 5:17). Kepha yize kungekho sibonelo 'somuntu odala - umvangeli’ Asikho isizathu sangempela sokucabanga ukuthi abadala abakwazanga ukwenza inkonzo enjalo.

Nokho, Ukukhumbula ukubaluleka okubonakalayo okunamathiselwe uPawulu kubaprofethi nothisha ngaphakathi 1 Cor 12:28, Kuyaqapheleka ukubhekisisa okulinganiselwe kwalezi zinkonzo eJerusalema namasonto e-Antiyoch kanye nemiphumela ebonakalayo.

7.3.1 I-Antiyokiya

Njengoba sekushiwo, Isonto le-antioch libonakala liqhutshwa ngamadoda abikwa izinkonzo zawo zokufelonga nezifundisa. Isonto lalibonakala ngenkonzo ebukeka kabi kakhulu, okukweleta okuningi kokufaka okungokwesiprofetho kokubili emazingeni angokoqobo futhi angokomoya (Acts 13:1-3 & 11:27-30). Ngenxa yalokho kwaba ukugxila kwemizamo yokuqala yokushumayeza umhlaba weGraeco-Roman.

Iphinde ikhombise ukunamathela okungaguquki emfundisweni kamusa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu wasikhulula ekugqilazweni emthethweni: Kepha ngaphandle kokuphika ifa elibalulekile lamakholwa angamaJuda (Acts 18:18, 20:16, Rom 3:1-3). Lokhu kwakungenxa yethonya likaPawulu.

Ohlangothini lokwalusa, Bobabili uBarnabu noPawulu babenamandla okufakazelwe; futhi ngokungatholakali kwabo kungenzeka ukuthi kukhona abanye abakhona ukuze bathathe le mithwalo yemfanelo.

7.3.2 IJuda

Ezinsukwini zokuqala Ngabe ithonya labaphostoli lanikeza i-Jerusale Church ukufundisa okuqinile nokufakwa okungokwesiprofetho; Futhi iJerusalema laliyisikhungo esisebenzayo sokufinyelela esontweni. Leli thonya libonakala linciphile njengoba abayishumi nambili kancane bayeka umthwalo wemfanelo wekhaya wabadala. KumaKristu angamaJuda, kufaka noPaul, IJerusalema lagcina ukubaluleka kwalo: Kepha umthelela wawo ebuKristwini beZizwe wenqabile ukulandela ukulungiswa kwendaba yokusoka; futhi empeleni bekungahlali lusizo ngokuphelele.

IMISEBENZI, Kubukeka sengathi isonto lalingakaze likhiphe ngokuphelele kwi-Hangover of Exhish Excursivism. Ngakho-ke, Lapho uPhetro ese-Antiyokiya nezivakashi ezavela kuJakobe wabona kunesidingo sokuyeka ukudla namaKristu abeZizwe ukuze angacasuli abasanda kufika; ukuphoqa uPawulu ukuba alethe inkohliso yomphakathi (Gal 2:11-6).

Lapho uPawulu ebuyela eJerusalema okokugcina, Abadala bavela ngokuphelele abakhathazekile ngezindaba zokwelusa; okungukuthi ukuphendula kwamaJuda angamaKristu ezindabeni zokufika kukaPaul (Acts 21:20-2).

Ngokwehlukile, Kubonakala sengathi bekungukuntuleka. UPawulu wathola ubufakazi ngokuboshwa kwakhe okuzayo kuwo wonke amadolobha ahamba eJerusalema (Acts 20:23, 21:4,10-4): Kepha hhayi lapha. Ukuboshwa kwakhe kungenzeka kungavikeleki; kepha, Uma kucatshangelwa ubungozi obukhulayo bokuqashelwa abadala’ Inkambo ehlongozwayo yephrofayili yephrofayili iyambukisa, Ukuntuleka kwengxoxo yakhe yedwa kusikisela ukuthi abadala bebengazi lokho okwakusho umoya (Acts 21:20-4).

8. Iziphetho

8.1 Isidingo sezinkonzo ze-Translocal

Yize amasonto amaningi amasha kuZenzo asungulwa ngaphandle kokubhekisele kwangaphambili kubaphostoli, Ngemuva kwalokho babekwa ngaphansi kwabaphostoli’ igunya nesiqondisi. Sizwa kuphela isonto elilodwa lapho lokhu bekungenjalo: futhi kwakungesona isimo esinempilo (3John 1:9-10).

Ezingxenyeni eziningi zesonto kusekhona umbono wokuthi abaphostoli bafela ngokuphela kwe-N.T. inxeba. Ngokudabukisayo, lokho bekuyiqiniso kuphela: Kepha ubufakazi obuxoxwe ngalo ngenhla bukhombisa ukuthi bekungafanele kube njalo. Isidingo semisebenzi ye-Translocal Ministrin uma kukhona okuphezulu manje kunangaphambili; ukuze kuvinjwe ukuhlukana ebandleni futhi kuthuthukiswe umbono nenjongo efanayo.

Mhlawumbe inkinga ukuthi siphakamise kakhulu isithombe sabaphostoli, futhi kanjalo yesabe ‘ukuzidla’ yokubiza umuntu ngaleso sihloko. Kodwa wumsebenzi esikhundleni sesihloko esibalulekile: noma yini esibabiza ngayo, siyawadinga.

Akufanele futhi sikhohlwe ukuthi akuzona zonke izinkonzo zakwamanye amazwe ezazingabaphostoli. Izikhathi eziningi kakhulu izinhlaka zesonto zenza ilungiselelo elinganele lokusekelwa ‘kokuhlanganyela’ izinkonzo: futhi ngenxa yalokho abantu abanezinkonzo ezingaba wusizo bahlala bekhungathekile ezimweni zabo zasendaweni kuyilapho isonto lonke lihlupheka.

8.2 Inani Lenkonzo Yeqembu

Kusukela ezinsukwini zakuqala, lapho uJesu ethuma abafundi bakhe ngababili, isisebenzi sodwa sasihlukile kunomthetho. Njengoba sekushiwo, ngokuvamile kwakunabadala abambalwa esontweni ngalinye. Ngisho nalapho uPawulu ehlukana noBarnaba wayengavamile ukuhamba yedwa. Kwenzeke ngempela ukuthi izimo nezinsiza ezinwetshiwe zibangele ukuthi abantu bashiywe bodwa isikhathi esithile ukuze baqhubekisele phambili umsebenzi othile weNkosi.: kodwa izimo ezinjalo zazingavunyelwe ukuqhubeka isikhathi eside kunesidingo.

Kwaqashelwa ukuthi bambalwa abantu ababenokwanela ‘umjikelezo wonke’ inkonzo yokusingatha zonke izenzakalo iyodwa; nokuthi noma yikanjani bebesakudinga ukwesekwa, isikhuthazo ngisho nokulungiswa. Ukunganakwa kwalesi simiso kwakusho ukubeka engcupheni ukushiyeka emsebenzini owumphumela (Acts 8:14-7), ukudangala (Col 4:14-8) noma ukuzidla (3John 1:9-10).

8.3 Ibhalansi ekubumbeni kwendawo

Kuyavela lokho okwalusayo, izinkonzo zokufundisa neziprofetho zazigqama kakhulu ebuholini bebandla lendawo. Umdala ngamunye kulindeleke ukuthi ahlangabezane nezidingo ezithile eziyisisekelo maqondana nokufundisa ukufaneleka nokutholakala kwabanye abantu; Kepha bebengalindele ukuthi baphumelele kuyo yonke indawo.

Kwakubhekwa njengokubaluleka okukhethekile ukuthi abadala kufanele bafake nalabo abanobukhosi kanye namakhono okufundisa: Kepha futhi kunobufakazi bokuphakamisa ukuthi ukufakwa kwezinkonzo zesiprofetho kwadlulisela umqondo omkhulu wokubuka nokuqondisa. Kanjalo 'okuhle’ ubudala kungaba munye ohikeze bobathathu.

8.4 'Vula’ Ubuholi

KunamaKhristu amaningi namuhla abheka emuva nokwesabeka ezinkumbu 'zemihlangano yesonto’ lapho wonke umuntu ezama ukuqhuba isonto ngasikhathi sinye, futhi i-Vociferous kakhulu imvamisa yathola indlela yabo. Nokho, Kukhona kwezinye izikhathi obekusabela ngokweqile ekuqondeni kwezinqumo ezithathwe 'ubuholi’ futhi idluliselwe ngaphezulu ngokubonisana okuncane noma kungekho ncazelo elandelayo.

Ngempela kunjalo ukuthi izingqinamba zokwalusa maqondana nabantu kufanele zaziwe esontweni njengendawo yokugcina yokugcina (Mt 18:15-7, 1 Tim 5:19). Ngokusobala futhi, Lapho uNkulunkulu eqala isenzo ngokuchazwa kwesambulo kubaholi, Akukho lutho abangazenzela kodwa baqhubeke nakho (Acts 13:1-3).

Nokho, Lapho kuvela izingqinamba ngaphakathi noma ngaphandle kwesonto elifaka kulo lonke lobulungu, the n.t. iphethini bekuwukunikeza amalungu ithuba lokuthi aveze imibono yawo, imvamisa emhlanganweni ovulekile (Acts 6:2, 15:4, 21:22). Isisho sokugcina kulolu daba sagcinwa siqine ezandleni zobuholi, Ukuhlangana ngasese uma kunesidingo (Acts 15:6), Kepha kubonakala ngokusobala ukuthi kube yisinqumo sesonto lonke (Acts 6:5-6, 15:22).

Ukufanele kwale ndlela kungumbala. Okomfanyana, Inika ububanzi obukhulu kulabo abanabo izipho zenkonzo kodwa akukho hhovisi likahulumeni lokufaka okokufaka esimweni. Komzuzwana, Kuyasiza amakholwa ukuthi abone ukuthi imibono nemizwa yawo kubalulekile esontweni eliphelele futhi, okwesithathu, ukuthi njengoba bonke babambe iqhaza esinqumweni sonke kufanele babambe iqhaza ekuqinisekiseni impumelelo yayo.

Ngokwendabuko, Njengoba kungabonakala ezibonelweni ezikhonjiwe, Lokhu kufake inani elithile lomoya welineni elingcolile: Kepha umphumela wokugcina ubunye ngenxa yokwamukelwa kwenhlangano yesisombululo esihlongozwayo, kunokuba unganele kwesokunxele ukubiyela ngaphansi kobuso.

8.5 Isidingo Sokuguquguquka

Yize kulula kakhulu ukukhomba labo ababengabaphostoli, kanye nokusungula izimfanelo eziyisisekelo zabadala namadikoni, Kunezindawo eziningi ezingwevu ezimpunga lapho kunzima ukusho ngokuqiniseka ukuthi yisiphi isikhundla esisemthethweni abantu abaphethwe noma ngokunembile lokho obekudingeka kubantu abasehhovisi elithile.

Okomfanyana, Kukhona ukungaqiniseki ukuthi ngubani owayengamadikoni futhi owayengekho. Ngomqondo owodwa, 'Idikoni’ kwakusho labo abanesiphathimandla esilinganiselwe abanikezwe abadala noma abaphostoli bendawo; Kokunye kuhlanganisa bonke abakhonza esontweni, kusuka kubaphostoli ezansi. Lokhu kungabaza kuhlanganiswe ngesikhundla sezihambeli zabaphostoli; kubonakala sengathi abaphostoli noma abadala ngokwabo, Noma kunjalo kwezinye izimo amandla anikezwe amandla okuqoka abadala.

Enye indawo yokungaqiniseki maqondana ne-degree yokugqagqana phakathi kwezinkonzo kanye nehhovisi likahulumeni esontweni. Ngaphandle kwako yomphostoli, ayikho inkonzo ebonakala iboshwe ngokungafanele kunoma yiliphi ihhovisi elilodwa. Abaporofethi Nabafundisi, Ngokwesibonelo, kungaba yi-itinerant noma yasendaweni, futhi ungahle ubambe noma abaphostoli.

Ngakho-ke akunangqondo ukweqisa izincazelo zezinkonzo noma amahhovisi noma amahhovisi athile. Isonto liyisitho esiphilayo esakhiwa ngabantu abahlukile, Futhi inkulumo ngayinye yendawo izoba nokuhlanganiswa okuhlukile kwezinkonzo emazingeni ahlukile wokuvuthwa ngokomoya. Ukukhathazeka kwethu okuyinhloko akufanele kube ukwabiwa kwesikhundla noma izihloko, Kepha ukusebenza ngempumelelo ngokubambisana kwawo wonke amalungu endawo.

Kufanele futhi kuphawulwe ukuthi i-N.T. Isakhiwo besingakabikwa ngaphambili ezibhebheni zamatshe; Kepha kwavela ukufeza izidingo zesonto. Ukuziphatha kabi Mk 2:27: 'Isakhiwo senzelwe ibandla: Hhayi ibandla lesakhiwo.’ Yize isibonelo sabaphostoli, Abadala namadikoni baba cishe jikelele, Kufanele kufezeke ukuthi isonto ngalinye lakhula ngesivinini esifanele; nabadala abamiswanga baze bahlulelwe bakulungele.

Ngakho-ke akufanele neze siphuthume ukuqokwa kwezikhulu ukuze nje sivumelane nalokho esikubona 'njengendlela yemiBhalo.’ Kunalokho, Kufanele sigxile ekulumeni kwamasonto kanye nabantu abathile ukuze bamukele izinhlaka ezinjalo; noma ukuqinisekiswa kokuvumelanisa isakhiwo ukuze kuhambisane nezimo ezithile.
