Uma sicabanga ngomholi owenza abafundi, sivame ukucabanga ngoPawulu njengesibonelo sethu. Izincwadi zakhe eziyala abaholi abasebasha ukuthi benze kanjani abafundi kulo lonke elase-Asia abancane zenza okuningi kweTestamente Elisha kunemibhalo yanoma ubani. Ziqukethe izeluleko ezisebenzayo nezinamasu kulo lonke iBhayibheli, ngoba wayekhathazeke kakhulu ngokuqeqesha abantu ukuba baphile indlela yokuphila yokwenza abafundi.
Igama elithi umqeqeshi livela emcabangweni wokuthi a i-stagecoach, okwakungamakalishi adonswa amahhashi ukuze asuse okuthile endaweni ethile kuya kwenye. Yilokhu kanye okwenziwa umqeqeshi osezingeni eliphezulu. Usiza ukususa umuntu esigabeni esithile sobuholi amyise kwesilandelayo. Umqeqeshi akayena owenza. Umsebenzi wabo ngokuyinhloko ukubuza imibuzo emihle evusa umholi ukuthi acabangele ukuthi isinyathelo sabo esilandelayo kufanele sibe yini. Ngakho-ke, uma uzithola usebudlelwaneni bokuqeqesha, nansi imibuzo engu-6 elula ongayibuza umqeqeshi wakho.
1. Unjani?
Lokhu kungase kuzwakale kulula ngokwedlulele, kodwa kuyamangaza ukuthi ngokuvamile kushiywa ngaphandle. Ukubuza ukuthi umuntu wenza kanjani ekuqaleni kwengxoxo yokuqeqesha kubalulekile ngezizathu ezimbili:
- Kuyisu. Abantu banezidingo okumele bahlangabezane nazo ngaphambi kokuthi bagxile kwezinye izinto. Abakwazi ukukhiqiza emsebenzini ngaphandle uma benokudla eziswini zabo nophahla phezu kwekhanda labo, isibonelo. Ngokufanayo, bangase bathwale kanzima ekwenzeni abafundi abaphindaphindekayo uma kunenkinga yomuntu siqu eqhubekayo.
- Yinto efanele nje ukuyenza! Noma bekungewona amasu ukukhuluma nomuntu ngezwe lakhe langaphakathi bekuzoba yindlela oyidingayo ukuyiqala ingxoxo, ngoba kuyinto enothando ukuyenza. Abantu bayiziphetho ngokwabo, hhayi indlela yokufinyelela isiphetho. Siyalwa nguJesu ukuba siphathe abantu kanjalo.
2. Lithini iBhayibheli?
Uma senza abafundi bande, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi asenzi thina abafundi; senza abafundi bakaJesu! Enye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokwenza lokho iwukubakhomba embhalweni. Njengoba uJesu ngokwakhe asho,
“Nifundisisa imibhalo, ngokuba nithi ninokuphila okuphakade kuyo. Yiyo kanye le mibhalo efakaza ngami.”’ Johane 5:39
Ngakho, lapho umholi ekucela iseluleko, kuhle ukuzijwayeza ukubamba ulimi futhi—kunokuba umtshele lokho okucabangayo—umbuze lokho okushiwo iBhayibheli. Lokhu kubangela ukuthi babheke embhalweni bazinqumele bona. Khona-ke, impendulo iyobe iphuma phakathi kwabo, futhi bayoba nobunikazi phezu kwayo. Ibalungiselela impumelelo engaphezulu kakhulu uma usanda kubatshela ngokuqondile ukuthi benzeni.
Uma udinga usizo lokwazi ukuthi yiliphi ivesi ongaphendukela kulo, hlola isigaba sezihloko selabhulali yohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Waha. Lapho, uzothola i-Discovery Bible Studies ngezihloko eziningi kusukela kwezenkolo, kuya ezimweni ezinzima, ukubuyisana, ngisho nezeluleko mayelana nemali nomsebenzi.
3. Uthini uMoya oNgcwele kuwe?
Nakuba umbhalo unikeza impendulo engcono kakhulu ku-90% wesikhathi, zisekhona izikhathi lapho umholi ebhekana nokuthile okunomongo ophezulu noma okuguquguqukayo. Ngalezo zikhathi, ayihlali njalo impendulo ecacile. Kodwa lokho kulungile ngoba, njengoba ivesi elicashunwe ngenhla lisho, akusiyo imibhalo ngokwayo esisizayo. NguNkulunkulu abembulayo. LoNkulunkulu uyaphila futhi usebenza ngaphakathi komunye nomunye wethu ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Umqeqeshi omuhle uyakwazi lokhu futhi, ngaphambi kokunikeza iseluleko sokuqondisa, uyohlale ekhuthaza umqeqeshi wakhe ukuthi alalele izwi langaphakathi loMoya oNgcwele. Lokhu kubalulekile ngoba ukuphela komuntu ongaletha izinguquko ngaphakathi kwethu nguNkulunkulu. Kungakho abantu abaningi emibhalweni engcwele bethandaza izinto ezinjengokuthi, “Dala kimi inhliziyo ehlanzekile, O Nkulunkulu!” ( IHu 51:10 ).
Ngakho-ke, uma ufuna ukusiza umuntu omqeqeshayo, mfundise ukwenza umthandazo olula wokulalela:
- Bameme ukuthi bavale amehlo abo futhi bathulise izinhliziyo zabo nengqondo.
- Bese, bakhuthaze ukuthi babuze umbuzo wabo eNkosini ngomthandazo.
- Ekugcineni mabalinde impendulo.
Noma nini lapho impendulo ifika emakhanda abo, bacele ukuthi bayivivinye leyo mpendulo ngokubuza ukuthi ingabe iphikisana nanoma yini embhalweni futhi uma kuzwakala sengathi kukhona okungashiwo uNkulunkulu onothando. Uma impendulo idlula lolo vivinyo, yiba nokholo lokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhulumile! Futhi, yazi ukuthi njengabantu abawile, asizizwa njalo izinto ngokuphelele, kodwa uNkulunkulu uyayihlonipha imizamo yethu eqotho futhi unendlela yokulungisa izinto zibe zinhle, ngisho noma singakutholi kahle ngaso sonke isikhathi.
4. Uzokwenzani kuleli sonto?
Uguquko lwangempela lufika kuphela lapho ushintsho lwenza isikhathi eside, futhi lokho kwenzeka kuphela lapho imikhuba yakheka, yingakho kubalulekile ukwenza ngokushesha noma iyiphi impendulo umqeqeshi ayithole kuNkulunkulu. KuMathewu 7, uJesu uchaza ukuthi umuntu ozwa okuthile kuye angakwenzi, ufana nomuntu oyisiwula owakha indlu yakhe phezu kwesisekelo esibuthakathaka. Kungase kubonakale kukuhle ekuqaleni, kodwa akuhlali isikhathi eside kakhulu.
5. Unjani umndeni wakho?
Kwesinye isikhathi kungaba lula ukujatshuliswa ukuphuma nokushintsha umhlaba ngokwenza abafundi “ngaphandle lapho” bese ukhohlwa yonke imindeni eyakhiwe nguNkulunkulu ngokushesha esizungezile. Alukho uhlobo olukhulu lokwenza abafundi njengokukhulisa izingane ekhaya elinothando elicwile emibhalweni engcwele. Ngokufanayo, umshado ubonakala uyisu likaNkulunkulu A lokuveza uthando lwakhe lwesivumelwano emhlabeni osizungezile.
Ngenxa yalokhu, kuwumgomo obalulekile ukuthi umndeni uze kuqala kunoma ubani ofuna ukwenza abafundi bande. Qiniseka ukuthi uchitha isikhathi esiningi uqeqesha umholi ukuthi achithe isikhathi esiningi nezingane zakhe futhi adale indawo yokutshala imali kwabashade nabo. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, indlela enhle yokwenza lokhu ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Waha, olunesifundo esihlokweni somshado, umzali, nokungashadi, futhi.
6. Uzophumula nini?
Kukhona abafowethu ababili esibaziyo (iqembu lama-Waha), abahola umbutho omkhulu eNingizimu yeNdiya. Njengethimba labaholi, benza konke okusemandleni abo ukuphatha inethiwekhi yamabandla asekhaya angaphezu kuka-800, aphindaphindeka kwaze kwaba sesizukulwaneni sama-20. Kwesinye isikhathi sibabona bedlula ezingqungqutheleni zokwenza abafundi bese sibabuza ukuthi baqhuba kanjani. Bahlezi bejabulile ngokuhamba futhi uma sibuza ukuthi kungani, bathi yingoba abanawo umsebenzi womakhalekhukhwini ngakho akekho ongabashayela ngezinkinga abhekane nazo!
Kuvamile ukubona uhlobo oluthile lomuntu ephakanyiswa ukuze ahole umnyakazo wokwenza abafundi. Bajwayele ukuba ngabantu abasezingeni eliphezulu abaphila izimpilo zabo ngendlela egxile esenzweni. Ngeshwa, kujwayelekile futhi ukuzwa ngemidondoshiya eyenza abafundi ihlakazeke ngoba abaholi abelusayo bayasha. Qiniseka (Pun ihloselwe kakhulu!) lena akuyona inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu kubantu bakhe. UJesu usitshela ukuthi ijoka lakhe lilula, nomthwalo wakhe ulula (Math 11:30) futhi usifanekisela lokhu ngokuya endaweni ethulile ukuze sifune ukuphumula nokuba sodwa. ngokuvamile ( Luka 5:16 ) Uyasikhumbuza ukuthi usuku lwesabatha lokuphumula lwenzelwa abantu, hhayi ngenye indlela (Marku 2:27).
Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi abaholi abasezingeni eliphezulu badinga ukukhunjuzwa ukuthi bame futhi baqaphele umhlaba wabo wangaphakathi. Badinga usizo lokukhumbula ukuzilungisa kabusha ukuze bathole ubunjalo babo ukuba ne Nkulunkulu, ngaphezu kokulunga ukwenza kuNkulunkulu.
