Thola i AppAmaqembu amancane, Ukukhula OkukhuluIsampula
Ifa Lakho Licebile
Upetru angase ahlale phansi enkonzweni yakho yangempelasonto futhi akhumbule kamnandi usuku akhuluma ngalo nezixuku. Mhlawumbe uPawulu wayeyozulazula endaweni yenu yentsha futhi, naphezu kokwethusa izingane, wayezokhunjuzwa ngezincwadi azibhalela uThimothewu nokuhlakanipha kokuthela ezingqondweni nasemoyeni wamakholwa asemasha. Omunye umKristu wasendulo angase anambithe i-donadi endaweni yakho yokwamukela izivakashi futhi azibuze ukuthi bese bengenile yini ezulwini. Kodwa, babeyokutholaphi lokho ababekubheka njengemibuthano “yamasonto”? Sibheja ukuthi kuzoba seqenjini elincane njengelakho.
U-Andy Stanley, ohola elinye lamabandla aphumelele kakhulu eMelika, usho kanje, “Ushintsho lwempilo lwenzeka ngemibuthano, hhayi ngamaphaseji.”
Kusukela ekuqaleni, iBandla lokuqala lakhiwe phezu komqondo wokubuthana kwamakholwa amancane. Umphostoli uPawulu wakhuluma ngamabandla amaningana asemakhaya ezincwadini azibhala. Uluka, umlobi wencwadi yeZenzo, naye wakhuluma ngeBandla lokuqala elalihlangana ezindlini.
Naphezu kokuthi ayemancane, la mabandla asemakhaya ayenamandla. Izimpilo bezishintshwa nsuku zonke ngenxa yethonya lamaqembu emiphakathini yawo. Abantu babephulukiswa, uMoya wawusebenza, futhi izinkulungwane zenezelwa okholweni nsuku zonke.
Ubill Hybels, ongumfundisi kwelinye lamasonto amakhulu eMelika, uvame ukuthi, “Isonto lendawo liyithemba lomhlaba.” Uma lokho kuyiqiniso, khona-ke amaqembu amancane ayithemba leBandla. Kuyindlela esenza sibe munye noNkulunkulu nomunye komunye.
U-Craig Groeschel, umfundisi we-Life.Church, ubiza abaholi be-LifeGroup “ngamaqhawe emishini yethu.” Kungani? Ngoba la maqembu ayindlela uthando namandla kaNkulunkulu olubonakala ngayo emabandleni ethu, komakhelwane bethu, esisebenza nabo, imindeni, nabangani. Ngaphandle kwamaqembu amancane anempilo, amabandla ethu aba makhulu, kodwa ahlukene futhi awabi namandla. Esikhundleni sokufakazela uKristu, angase ashiye ukunambitheka okubi, okungokwenkolo emlonyeni wezwe.
Cabanga: Abantu bachitha amahora amaningi nemali becwaninga ngokhokho babo ukuze baxhumane nendabuko yabo. Nasi isilondolozi sesikhathi: njengomholi weqembu elincane, ifa lakho iBandla lokuqala! Uwenza kanjani umlando weBandla njengomholi weqembu elincane? Iqembu lakho linagalelo lini ekuphileni nasempilweni yebandla lakho? Emphakathini wakho?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Amasonto awabiza ngamaqembu amancane, amaqembu amaseli, kanye namaLifeGroups. Ngaphandle kwamagama, akhona ukuze akhe ubudlelwano obunenjongo phakathi kwabalandeli bakaKristu. Kodwa kungani? Ingabe laba ngabantu esiphila nabo ngokukhululeka kobuKristu, noma kukhona okunye? Lolu hlelo lweBhayibheli, lweqembu le-Life.Church LifeGroups, olwanoma ubani ocabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu angasebenzisa iqembu labo elincane ukuze abangele ukukhula okukhulu.
