Usuku 4: Umbhabhadiso: Isinyathelo Sokulalela Nomsebenzi Womphakathi - U-Demario Davis

Okokuqala, bheka ukuthi u-Demario Davis uthini Ngokulalela Nomsebenzi Womphakathi.

Okulandelayo, funda umlayezo ongezansi ovela ku-Randy Alcorn futhi uzindle ngamavesi alandelayo.

Ngaphambi nje kokuba enyukele, uJesu wayala abafundi Bakhe ukuba bahambe, benze abafundi, babhabhathise abantu egameni likaNkulunkulu Woziqu-zintathu, futhi babafundise ukulalela yonke imiyalo Yakhe (Mathewu 28:18-20). Umbhabhadiso kufanele ubaluleke kithi ngoba ubalulekile kuJesu.

Lapho sizalwa ngokusha, ngamunye “sibhabhadiswa” ngoMoya eMzimbeni kaKristu, okuyiBandla: “Ngokuba ngaMoya munye thina sonke sabhabhathiswa sibe mzimba munye, abaJuda noma amaGreki, izigqila noma abakhululekile. – bonke baphuziswa uMoya munye” (1 Korinte 12:13). Umbhabhadiso wamanzi uwuphawu olubonakalayo, lwangaphandle lwenguquko engabonakali, yangaphakathi (Izenzo 2:38).

Ukubhabhadiswa kwami kwakungenakulibaleka. Ngemva kweminyaka emibili, ngaba nelungelo lokuholela umama kuKristu nokumbhabhadisa. Lokho kwenzeka eminyakeni engu-45 edlule, kodwa engqondweni yami bekuyizolo. Zingaki izinto esizikhumbula kahle emashumini amane eminyaka kamuva?

Umbhabhadiso uyisibonakaliso esinamandla esifanekisela ukufa kwekholwa esonweni, ukumbelwa (ngaphansi kwamanzi), nokuvuselwa ekuphileni okusha kuJesu (KwabaseRoma 6:11; KwabaseKolose 2:12). Ukuphuma emanzini kumelela impilo entsha ehlanziwe (KwabaseRoma 6:4).

Nomaphi lapho kumenyezelwa khona izindaba ezinhle zikaKristu, amakholwa amasha kufanele abhabhadiswe emcimbini ojabulisayo. Ufiliphu wahlanganyela iVangeli nesikhulu saseTopiya okwathi, lapho sibona amanzi, sazwakalisa isifiso saso sokubhabhadiswa (IzEnzo 8:35–36)

Njengoba uDemario egcizelela, ukubhabhadiswa komKristu kuwukuvuma obala kokukholwa kuKristu. Ukukhetha okusalungiswa akufihli ukuzihlanganisa kwakhe neqembu lakhe elisha; kunalokho, ngokuziqhenya ugqoka ijezi ukuze bonke balibone. Ngokunjalo, embhabhadisweni sithi, “Ngiqinisa ukholo lwami kuJesu Kristu, owaqinisekisa insindiso yami. Njengomfundi Wakhe, ngokungenamahloni ngifuna ukumkhonza nokummela.”

Ngo-1519, uCortés nemikhumbi yakhe bafika eMexico, eVeracruz. Ezimisele ukunqoba, uCortés  wayala abasebenzi bakhe ukuba bashise imikhumbi yabo. Umlayezo wakhe ongasho lutho wawuthi: “Akusekho ukujikela emuva.” Isizathu sikaKristu muhle kakhulu kunesikaCortés, kodwa Naye usibiza ukuthi singajiki emuva (Luka 9:62). Lapho sinezinkinga nokungabaza, singabheka emuva ekubhapathizweni kwethu njengomugqa odwetshwe esihlabathini othi, “Ngingumlandeli kaKristu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani.”

Ulubekile ukholo lwakho kuJesu, futhi ngomusa Wakhe usindisiwe? Ingabe usubhabhadisiwe? Ukubhabhadiswa angeke kukusindise, kodwa kuwukubonakaliswa okunamandla kokulandela uKristu. Uma umthanda uJesu kodwa ungakabhabhadiswa, hamba uye esontweni lakho, khuluma nomfundisi, futhi ucele ukubhabhadiswa phambi komzimba kaKristu. Awusoze wazisola!
