Umzekelo Womthandazo

Thandazani ngoko nina nenjenje: Bawo wethu osemazulwini, malingcwaliswe igama lakho. Mabufike ubukumkani bakho. Makwenziwe ukuthanda kwakho nasemhlabeni, njengokuba kusenziwa emazulwini. Siphe namhla isonka sethu semihla ngemihla. Usixolele amatyala ethu, njengokuba nathi sibaxolela abo banamatyala kuthi. Ungasingenisi ekulingweni, sihlangule enkohlakalweni. Ngokuba bubobakho ubukumkani, namandla, nozuko, kuse kuwo amaphakade. Amen.
UMATEYU 6:9–13 XHO75

I-Intro: Le ndima ihlala ibizwa ngokuba nguMthandazo weNkosi okanye uBawo wethu osemazulwini.  Ngokwenyani, lo nguMthandazo wabafundi.  Bawunikwaukuba abeyindlela ababemele ukuyilandela xa bethandaza.  Ke ngoko, kufanelekile ukuba siwubize lo mthandazo njengoMzekelo woMthandazo.

Lo mthandazo uhlala usetyenziswa gwenxa. Abantu bawunqaya, xa bathandaza bawuthethe kuThixonjengokuba enjalo. Kufuneka siwusebenzisenjengesakhelo apho singakhela khona umthandazo esinokuwunikela kuThixo, ukuze siviwe nguye kwayeasiphendule xa sithandaza, kwaye sizukisa igama lakhe.  Ngokuhlwanje, njengoko iNkosi indivumela, ndiza kwabelana nani ngaloMzekelo woMthandazo.

I.  v.9-10 IMITHANDAZO YETHU KUFUNEKA IKHUTSHELWE EMNTU

A. v. 9a NGUBANI LOMNTU?

1. Bawo –Eligama lithetha ngobudlelwane esinabo kunye noThixo. Ububudlelwane sibufumana xa sizalwa ngokutsha ngokukholwa kuYesu Kristu. Ukuba umamnkele, uzalwe ngokutsha usindisiwe ungumntwana kaThixo unegunya nelungelo lokuya kuye emathandazweni. Kodwa ukuba awusindiswanga awunguye umntwana kaThixo.

“Ke bonke abamamkeláyo wabanika igunya lokuba babe ngabantwana bakaThixo, abo ke bakholwayo kwigama lakhe;“ UYOHANE 1:12

uYohane 14:13- Nento enithe nayicela egameni lam, ndoyenza yona, ukuze uYise azukiswe ngoNyana.

2. Wethu -eligama liyasfundisa ukuba singathandazi imithandazo ezicingelayo(ezingcayo).  Ubomi bethu bomthandazo bufanele ukubandakanya lonke usapho kaThixo. Rhoqo, sinetyala lokuthandaza ngokuzingca!  (Mna kunye neemfuno zam kuqala kwaye kuphela! “Makangathi elowo axunele kwezakhe izinto zodwa, elowo makaxunele nakwezabanye.” KWABASEFILIPI 2:4 XHO75)

A. v. 9b UPHI LOMNTU? -Osemazulwini! Lento ithetha ngesikhundla sikaThixo njengoMongami.  Usetroneni yezulu kwaye ufanelwe lukholo lwethu.  UnguThixo onamandla!  Ukuthandabuza akunandawo ebomi bethu bomthandazo – Heb.  11: 6;  

“Musani ukulahlekiswa, bazalwana bam baziintánda. Sonke isipho esilungileyo, naso sonke isipho esigqibeleleyo, sesaphezulu; síhla sivela kuye uYise wezikhanyiso, ongenabuyambo nasithunzi sakujika.” EKAYAKOBI 1:16-17 XHO75
“Ke lowo uthandabuzayo, ukuba uthe wadla, uselegwetyiwe, kuba engadli ngokwaselukholweni; konke ke okungekokwaselukholweni kusisono.” KWABASEROMA 14:23 XHO75.

B. v. 9c NJANI KULOMNTU?- (izinto ezimbini ezizokukhunjulwa njengoko sisiza phambi kobukho bakhe!)

1. Malingcwalisiwe– eligama lisikhumbuza ngobungcwele bakhe.  UThixo nguThixo ongcwele kwaye kufuneka sisondele kuye ngokoyika kunye ngentlonipho!    (Umzekelo UIsaya. – Isa. 6: 5; “Ndathi, Athi ke mna! Ngokuba ndithe shwaka, ngokuba ndiyindoda emlomo uyinqambi; ndihleli phakathi kwabantu abamilomo iyinqambi; ngokuba amehlo am aboné ukumkani, uYehova wemikhosi.” UISAYA 6:5 XHO75; uJobhi – Jobhi 40: 4; “Yabona, ndiphantsi. Ndothini na ukuphendula? Ndibeka isandla sam emlonyeni wam. UYOBHI 40:4 XHO75”) Ukungcwalisa igama lakhe ngokwenyani kuthetha ukuba simbona njengeNkosi kuko konke.  Xa igama lakhe lingcwalisiwe, asinakuze sithi, “Hayi, Nkosi!” Asinakuze sithi, “Hayi mna Nkosi!” Igama elihambelana neNkosi ngu “Ewe, Nkosi!” Ukungcwalisa uThixo, kukunika imbeko nozuko nobungangamsha obubo bakhe. Singena ikudumiseni ubukhulu bakhe

2. Igama – Xa sisiza phambi kwakhe, kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba ukufikelela kwethu kuThixo  kungegama elingaphezulu kwamagama onke – Phil.  2: 9-11;  Yohane 6: 23.  NguYesu kuphela indlela yethu yokufikelela kuBawo – 2 Tim.  2: 5.

C. v. 10 NTONI KUYE? – Iinjongo ezimbini ezinkulu kufuneka zibe kwindawo ephambili ezingqondweni zethu njengoko sisondela kuThixo.

1. Mabufike uBukumkani bakho.  Esi sisicelo esiphindwe kathathu:

a.  Sisicelo sokuba uYesu abuyele eMhlabeni – igama elithi “ubukumkani” alibhekiseli kwindawo ethile, kodwa lulawulo nakubukumkani.  Xa sithandaza “Mabufike uBukumkani bakho,” sithandazela ulawulo lukaYesu emhlabeni.  Obu Bukumkani buzayo bukhomba phambili kwixesha xa uYesu eya kulawula emhlabeni eluzukweni olugqibeleleyo, ngoxolo nangobulungisa.

b. Esi sisicelo ngathi – Sithandazela ukuba uBukumkani bukaThixo bufezekiswe ebomini bethu.  Ukuba usindisiwe, uBukumkani bukaThixo bukuwe – Luka 17:21– Kanjalo akuyi kuthiwa, Nabu apha! Nabuya phaya! Kuba, yabonani, ubukumkani bukaThixo bungaphakathi kwenu. ULUKA 17:21 XHO75.Ngamafutshane, xa sithandaza lo mthandazo, sicela uYesu ukuba abe nolawulo oluphezulu ebomini bethu.  Asisayi kuze sisebenze njengabangcwele bakaThixo de sikwazi oku kuthandaza, “Ubukumkani bam mabuphele uBukumkani baKho mabufike!” ( Le yayi yinjongo kaMateyu 6:33Funani ke tanci ubukumkani bukaThixo nobulungisa bakhe, zaye zonke ezo zinto ziya kongezelelwa kuni. UMATEYU 6:33 XHO75) ( Kumele umnike uThixo isitshixo kuwo onke amagumbi ebomini bethu!)

c. Esi sisicelo soVangela – Njengoko sizinikela kuThixo ukuba asilawule, singadlala indima ekuziseni abanye kuye.  Uyabona, enye indlela uBukumkani BukaThixo obuziswa ngayo emhlabeni kuxa umphefumlo omtsha uziswa kuye ngosindiso.  Enye itempile izaliswe bubuqaqawuli nobukho bukaThixo.  Ke ngoko, xa sithandazela ebalahlekileyo, sithandazela uBukumkani bukaThixo ukuba bunyuse emhlabeni!  Kufanele sithandaze ivangeli – 1 Tim.  2: 1-4! Xa sithandaza kufuneka, sigxile ekufuneni uBukumkani bukaThixo uSomandla.

2. Intando yakho mayenziwe – Lo ngumzala kumgca odlulileyo, kuba xa uBukumkani bukaThixo bufezekisiwe emhlabeni, intando yakhe izakwenziwa apha njengoko isenziwa emazulwini.  Eli binzana lisixelela ukuba sibeke ukuthanda kukaThixo, nje ngeyona nto ibalulekileyo ebomini bethu. Ngumthandazo othandazwe kwintando kaThixo ofumana impendulo kuThixo- 1 Yohane 5: 14-15– “Kuko oku ukungafihlisi esinako kuye: ukuba sithi sicele into ngokokuthanda kwakhe, uyasiva. Ukuba siyazi okokuba uyasiva esisukuba sikucela, siyazi ukuba sinazo izinto ezicelwayo, esizicelileyo kuye“ KAYOHANE I 5:14–15 XHO75.  (Intando yakhe ezulwini -IINDUMISO 103:20-21- Mbongeni uYehova, nina zithunywa zakhe, Magorha omeleleyo, alenzayo ilizwi lakhe, Ephulaphula isandi selizwi lakhe.  Mbongeni uYehova, nonke mikhosi yakhe, Balungiseleli bakhe, benzi bokuthanda kwakhe!) Umthandazo akazange uyitshintshe ingqondo kaThixo, kodwa uyawukhawulezisa umsebenzi wakhe ehlabathini.  Umthandazo ushukumisa emazulwini!  (Isizathu sokuba kutheni ingaphendulwa imithandazo – EkaYakobi 4: 3) Eyona nto iphambili kukubasilahleka entandweni yakhe!

II.  v.11-13 IMITHANDAZO YETHU KUFUNEKA IQULATHE IZICELO

A. Sifanele sithandaze ngeezidingo zenyama- Akukho sono kwaye akukho ntloni xa sicela uThixo ukuba ahlangabezane neemfuno zethu zokwenyama. Uthembisile ukusibonelela– Mat.  7: 7-11– “Celani, nophiwa; funani, nofumana; nkqonkqozani, novulelwa; kuba wonke umntu ocelayo uyazuza, nalowo ufunayo uyafumana, nalowo unkqonkqozayo uya kuvulelwa. Nguwuphi na umntu kuni ongáthi, ukuba unyana wakhe uthe wacela isonka, amnike ilitye? Athi, ukuba uthe wacela intlanzi, amnike inyoka? Ukuba ngoko nina, nikhohlakele nje, niyakwazi ukubapha abantwana benu izipho ezilungileyo, wobeka phi na yena uYihlo osemazulwini ukugqithisela ngokubapha okulungileyo abo bamcelayo?“UMATEYU 7:7–11 XHO75

( “Namhla,” Kufuneka sithathe iimfuno zethu zanamhlanje kuThixo, kodwa siziyeke iimfuno angomso de kube ngomso. Ukuxhalela ingomso sisono – Mat. 6:34 – “Ngoko musani ukuxhalela ingomso; kuba ingomso liya kuxhalela okwalo. Buyanele imini leyo obayo ububi.UMATEYU 6:34. U-Thixo usibiza ukuba sithembele kuye namhlanje, kwaye simthembele kuye nango –ngomso.) (Eli candelo lisikhuthaza ukuba sijonge kuThixo njengo “mniki”) Kufuneka sijonge kuye ngezi zinto esizisweleyo, unayo into oyifunayo – “Ngokuba zezam zonke iinyamakazi zehlathi, Neenkomo ezisezintabeni eziliwaka.”IINDUMISO 50:10 XHO75

B.. Sifanele Sithandaze Ngezidingo Zethu Zomoya –  izidongo zomoya zikhankanywa ngaphezu kwezenyama. Izizatha salonto? Izidingo zethu zomoya zikhulu kunezidingo zenyama. Qaphela ezinye izidingo zomoya ekufuneka sithandaze ngazo.-

1. Ukuxolelwa kwezono zethu – “Amatyala” = Into etyalwayo ekufuneka ihlawulwe.  Ingaguqulelwa ngokuthi “isono, ukunxaxha, iziphoso, inzondo, into esityala kuyo kuThixo, okanye nantoni na esiyenzileyo engalunganga.” Sonke kufuneka sifune uThixo ukuba axolele izono zethu – 1 Yohane 1: 8-10.  (Ill. NoPaul uvumile ukuba wayengafezekanga – Phil. 3:12 – “Kungekuko ukuthi sendamkele, nokuthi sendigqibelele; ke ndiphuthuma ukuba ndingakugánga na nokukugánga oko, ndathi nam ndagangelwa khona nguye uKristu Yesu.“KWABASEFILIPI 3:12 XHO75
Xa sichitha ixesha elininzi ebusweni bukaThixo, siyabuqonda ngakumbi ubungcwele bakhe kunye nokuba nesono kwethu.

2. Ukuxolela abanye – Umoya wokungaxoleli uyakutshabalalisa ubomi bomthandazo.  (Into eyathethwa ngumntu ngu-Nelson Mandela) Abantu baphakamisa ukuziphindezela ngaphezu kokuxolela, ayonto elungileyo leyo!  Ukungaxoleli kuya kukutya uphilila, kukuzalise ngobukrakra, nomsindo, unxunguphalo, noxinzelelo, njalo njalo. AMAHEBHERE 12:15 – Kukho izizathu ezithathu ezikhulu zokuba kutheni kufuneka siziqhelise ukuxolela.

a. Xa sixolela sibanjengoThixo -Sikhonza uThixo unjani?  Unothando, unobabalo, unenceba kwaye oxolelayo!  Xa sibaxolela abanye, sibonisa ukuba nobuThixo nyani, Eph. 4:32. IVesi 10 -Kwenziwa ntoni ezulwini?  Kuyanqulwa, ukuphakanyiswa uYesu,kuxolelwa kwesono!  Ngokwenyani usebenzela izulu emhlabeni xa uxolelanisa umzalwana kunye noKristu-Mat.  18:18!

b. Kuyinto elungileyo ukuba abo baxolelwayo baxolele– (Matewu 18: 21-35) Usixolele ityala elikhulu, ngokuqinisekileyo sinokumxolela umzalwane ngokuncinci akwenzileyo!

c. Ukusilela ukuxolela iziphumo luqeqesho – (Mateyu 18:31-35) Xa sikhetha ukungaxoleli, siya kutshutshiswa kubukrakra, ingqumbo, kwaye sizakuphulukana nobudlelwane noThixo. Enyanisweni, xa sisala ukuxolela, sithatha indawo namandla kaThixo. “Musani ukuziphindezelela, zint’anda; yikhweleleni ingqumbo; kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa , Impindezelo yeyam, kuya kubuyekeza mna, itsho iNkosi. Ngoko ke, ukuba utshaba lwakho lulambile, luphe ludle; ukuba lunxaniwe, luseze; kuba ngokwenjenjalo ke, woba ufumba amalahle omlilo phezu kwentloko yalo. Musa ukweyiswa bububi; boyise ububi ngokulungileyo.” KWABASEROMA 12:19-21

3. Ungasingenisi ekulingweni – Wonke umntu uyahendwa kodwa uThixo akahendi mntu EKAYAKOBI 1:13. Umthandazo wethu umele ukuthi, “Thixo sikhokele  ezindlelani zethu ukuze siziphephe iindawo zezilingo,”   “Amanyathela omfo aqiniswa nguYehova, Ayithande indlela yakhe.” IINDUMISO 37:23 Lo ngumthandazo wokugcina ubudlelwane obusondeleyo kuThixo. EKAYAKOBI 1:14 – “Makungabikho namnye utshoyo akùhendwa ukuthi, Ndihendwa kwaThixo; kuba uThixo akanakuhendeka kokubi, akahendi namnye ke yena. Elowo ke uhendwa akutsalwa, abanjiswe, yeyakhe inkanuko.”

4. Ukuhlangulwa enkohlakalweni – lo ngumthandazo wokucela uncedo ekuthinteleni isono.  Esi sisicelo kuThixo sokuba asiguqule, asibambe, asigcine, kwaye ahambe nathi ukuze sikhuseleke kumandla oMtyholi!  Oku kunceda ukuphepha imigibe yesono!

III. v. 13b  IIMITHANDAZO KUFUNEKA IQULATHE INDUMISO

Le ivesi nombulelo – Simdumise

A. Ngobukhosi bakhe –Umelwe kukubongwa ngenxa yeNkosi ayiyo.  Ufanelwe kukuzukiswa.

B. Nangamandla akhe – Umelwe kukudunyiswa ngenxa yamandla akhe,  nangamaxesha awabonikalisa ngawo amandla akhe ebomini bethu!

C. Nangozuko Lakhe – Ufuna kwaye ulufanele lonke uzuko kuyo yonke imeko yobomi.  Kufanele ukuba azukiswe emhlabeni njengokuba emazulwini!

Isiphelo: Ukuthandaza kwethu kumele ukuqulatha ezi zinto

Ukudumisa – uThixo makanqulwe

Ukuvunywa- Isono sethu kufuneka sijongane naso.

Umbulelo – Kufuneka sihlala sinentliziyo enombulelointliziyo edumisayo.

Ukucela – Ikhona indawo yokuxelela izinto esizifunayo.
