Umbhali.
LIBANDLA LAMISWA NGUNKHULUNKHULU
1. Licebo lakhe njengobe belingakembulwa kuTestamente Lelisha.
Libandla laKrestu libandla lase Testamenteni leliSha.
Lasekelwa lamiswa ekuhlelweni kweTestamente leliSha kodvwa kwabe kungukadze ivetwa ngendlela lengakacaci ngetikhatsi teliTestamente lelidzala, umkhumbi lowakhiwa nguNowa yabe isambulo sekucacisa ngelibandla leliyobakhona eminyakeni leyendlula Nkhulunkhulu. Waniketa licebo lemkhumbi ngalokucace kakhulu. Leli licebo lalandzelwa ngekubeketela. Nkhulunkhulu wabe sati kwekutsi ubonisa intfo leliyobangiyo libandla. Umkhumbi wabe uyindlela yekubonisa kusindziswa kwabo. Babeyosindziswa etikhukhuleni. Nowa wayalelwa kushumayela te bonkhe babenelitfuba lokwemukela umyalelo basindziswe. Bekufanele bangene ngelisango linye emkhunjini basindze ekubhujisweni. Umkhumbi wabe unemnyango munye njengobe kunjalo nalomuhla, linye lisango elibandleni laJesu Krestu. Nkhulunkhulu walivala lisango lemkhumbi ana sekufika tikhukhula. Nkhulunkhulu naye uyolivala lisango lelibandla ana iNkhosi ibuya itewulandza bayo. Labo labangemange batfole insindziso elibandleni bayewutisola.
Kwakukhona umfanekiso wendlu yekukhontela. Nkhulunkhulu wabonisa ngetulu ngelibandla. Ngalesikhatsi wakhetsa kubonisa ngenchazelo lenkhulu. Indzawana yonkhe kulendlu yayinemcondziso wentfo kulo libandla. Nkhulunkhulu imiyalo lesele. Weta naMosi wabona kwekutsi ichutjwa ngalokuphelele na, Lidina labe litokwentiwa e-altari embikwendlu njengaloku neNkhosi lenguJesu yaba lidina embikwelibandla lelicinile. Abefundisi babehlanjwa esiteni lesikhulu sebraso. Embikwekutsi bangene esakhiweni selitabanakeli. Kucala akahlanjwe emantini elubhabatiso embikwekutsi amukelwe ebudelwaneni belibandla laJesu Krestu. Ngekhatsi endlini kwabe kukhona tintfo letintsatfu letibalulekile. Sibane lesisaGolide lesimele kukhanya kwelivangeli njengobe kwembuliwe elivini laNkhulunkhulu. Litafula lesinkhwa lelimele litafula lokudvunyisela iNkhosi elibandleni kanye neli-altare yekudvunyisela lemele imikhuleko yalabangcwele. Kwenyukela kuNkhulunkhulu liphunga lelimnandzi ekhatsi kwetindlu letimbili teli Tabanakeli. Lelulwe luhide lelikhulu lekutsiwa sivalo selitabanakele. Ite kamuva ibe sivimbo selitempheli mhla lithempheli lakhiwa. Tindlu letimbili timele libandla, nelizulu kuyo itabanakeli. Letitindlu tehlukaniswe ngelihalideni ladzabula etulu kuya entasi yabetselelwa inkosi. Icondzisa kuvulwa kweminyango yelizulu ngekufa kwakhe. Krestu uniketa insindziso ngalo libandla itabanakeli. Umfundisi lomkhulu wabanako kungena ebungcweleni bebungcwele kanye ngemnyaka yena yedvwa. Krestu waya ezulwini.
Indlela lokumele siyilandzele te silandzele kuta kwelibandla lakhe icaciswe Encwadzini yeMisebenti sahluko 2 yabakhona ngelilanga lePentekosi ngekunonopha emvakwekufa nekuvuka kwakhe ethuneni.
2. Lisontfo Lingumtimba waKrestu, yena uyinhloko yalo.
Banengi bantfu labaye batsatse lisontfo njengentfo ledzelelekelako, Kepha akunjalo nakancane. Lisontfo lingumtimba waKrestu. Ngumtimba lophilako.
Imibhalo itsi kubase-Efesu 5:23, "Krestu uyinhloko yelibandla, futsi ungumsindzisi wemtimba." Yinhloko lelawula umtimba, amukho umtimba lophilako ngephandle kwenhloko, nobe lonetinhloko letimbili. Yinhloko lenemphokophelo yekulawula umtimba wonke. Njengaloku-ke nelibandla laKrestu lingenato tinhloko letimbili, yasemhlabeni nobe yasezulwini. Angeke libe yinhlangano lephetfwe ngumbhishobhi, ngunsumpa, ngumongameli, okanye likomidi kodvwa litawubuswa nguKrestu Jesu. INkhosi lenguJesu ngiyo leyinhloko yelibandla. Libandla lakhe linemagunya onke Kuye, nasebunhlokweni bakhe.
Umtimba uhlanganiswe ngetincenye letinengi temtimba, bese kutsi incenye nencenye inemsebenti wayo lokumele iwente. "Umtimba akusilo lilungu linye, kepha manyenti." (1 Korinte 12:14) "Nyalo ningumtimba waKrestu, ningemalungu labalulekile." (1 Korinte 12:27.) Emalungu emtimba lophilako ngekwenyama abekelwe kwekutsi ente umsebenti lotsite, akukho lapho atewusilela khona ngobe acondziswa yinhloko. Njengatsi ngobe singemalungu laphelele emtimba weNkhosi, kumele sente umsebenti lofanako, weNkhosi. Angeke siwente lomsebenti ana singacondziswa ngiyo ngalokuphelele.
Lisontfo linetulu kwenhlangano ngemandla. Akusiko kutsi lingebantfu labanengi labahlangene ngephasi kwesandla semvangeli lotsite. Futsi alisona sakhiwo lesimisiwe kwekutsi singene ngephasi kwaso sihlanganyele. Kepha lisontfo liyigenge yebantsu leye yamukela Jesu njengeNkhosi neMsindzisi neNkhosi, futsi labaye batfobela yena, bahlangana kuko kukhonta kuKrestu, ngephasi kwebuholi bakhe. Singakhontela endlini, kepha ngebantfu labenta libandla libe lisontfo lelicinile.
SAHLUKO SESIBILI
UMSEEBENTI WELIBANDLA
"Ngaloko hambani nente tive tonkhe ebafundzi, nibabhapathize egameni leYise neleNdvodzane nelikaMoya loNgcwele, nibafundzise kulondvolota konkhe lenginiyala ngako, bukani, mine nginani, malanga onkhe kudzimate kube sekupheleni kwelive. (Matewu 28:19,20)
1. Kuyintfo yekucala nalehamba embili kwekutsi lisontfo lente umsebenti wekumisa emaKrestu.
Sinyatselo sekucala sekusondzeta umuntfu kuKrestu ngukufundzisa. Ingani neNkhosi lenguJesu ngekwayo yabe ingafuni ngekubitwa ngemfundisi lomkhulu. Wabe abitwa ngekutsiwa "NguRabi", lokusho kwekutsi umfundisi. Wabe afundzisa ngemateku ana afundzisa ngaletinye tikhatsi. Wafundzisa sigejane lesikhulu sebantfu ngasikhatsi sinye, njengalesikhatsi afundzisa sigejana lesikhulu endzaweni yasentsabeni abapha inshumayelo lena lomuhla sekutsiwa "yinshumayelo yasentsabeni", kepha futsi waphindze washumayela ebantfu labehlukene njengalesikhatsi ashumayela Nikodemu, kanye nemfati wase Samariya. Wabe angumfundisi lomkhulu. Natsi wasitfuma kwekutsi sibe ngebafundisi. Akufanele kwekutsi silahle ematfuba ekufundzisa nobe ngabe semunye ngaKrestu. Siyalelwe yiNkhosi kwekuba sifundzise, sibhapathiswe, futsi sichubeke nekushumayela. Umphumela lomuhle walesisifundvo kuyoba ngukutsi ebantfu batfobele umtsetfo waNkhulunkhulu. "Filipu washumayela umtopiya lowabe afuna kwekutsi abhapathizwe. "Filipu wavula umlomo wakhe, acala kuloyombhalo washumayela livangeli ngaJesu. Kwatsi basahamba endleleni, bafika emantini. Umthenwa watsi: Buka nawa emanti; kwalani kwekuba ngibhapatizwa na?" (Imisebenti 8:35,36).
Umphumela wekufundzisa ngaJesu kungukutsi ebantfu babenesifiso nekutitfoba kuye yena lotsi, "Lokholwako abhapathiswe, uyosindziswa, kepha longakholwa, uyolahlwa". (Marku 16:16) Kulenye indzawo utsi, "Ana umuntfu angatalwa ngemanti nangeMoya, angeke angene embusweni waNkhulunkhulu." (Johane 3:5) Ngeke kube nembuto kodvwa kutitfoba eNkhosini kufaka lubhapathizp ekutsetselelweni kwetono. Luka ubala kuMisebenti yebapostoli besibili, emavi a-Petro ngePentekosi. "Phendvukani, nguloyo naloyo abhapathizwe egameni laJesu Krestu kuko kutsetselelwa kwetono tenu, khona niyokwemukeliswa siphiwo sakaMoya loNgcwele." (Imisebenti 2:38)
Ana lovumile sabhapatiziwe, kusafuneka kwekutsi kuloku kuchutjekiwe nekumfundzisa, ngobe kunetintfo letinyeti lona wekunene lokumele atati. Kungumsebenti welibandla kwekutsi lichubeke njalo nekufundzisa, khona lona wekunene atekufundza kwekutsi "agcine konkhe loku layalwe ngako." (Krestu) Asishumayeli nje livangeli kupulipeti nje kuphela, kumele sifundzise nalabo lesibatfola ngephandle. Nobe ebantfu sebalitfobele livi leNkhosi, kepha lesisibophetelo sekushumayela asigcini. Akumele sikuyekele loku ana silandzela umyalo wenhloko yelibandla laKrestu.
2. Kukhona lokunye lokungenteka ngalokuphelele emsebentini welibandla.
Krestu amange ayale kwekutsi kwakhiwe tibhedlela, indzawo yetintsandzane, emakhaya alabadzala, kepha konkhe loku kwa ba titselo temfundziso ngelivangeli, ebantfu bagucuka baba ngemakholwa. Lapho livangeli lishunyayelwa khona, kunetibhedlela, indzawo yetintsandzane, futsi kunemakhaya alabadzala. Kunelutsandvo 'nebuntfu lokuvutsela inshisekelo yekwenta lokutsite te kuliwe nekuhlupheka nekweswela. Lona akusiwo umsebenti lomkhulu welisontfo. Kepha umsebenti welisontfo ngukutsi kwandze libandla. Masingabi nemiphumela lengacondzakali elivangelini. Krestu uyabatsandza bonke bantfu, kanjalo nebapostoli kumele babatsandze, futsi kumele bente konkhe lokusemandleni te bacedze kuhlupheka, kodvwa timangaliso tekuphilisa labatentako ngato kuhloswe kutsi kugcwaliswe umbiko loliciniso ngensindziso. Natsi ngekwetfu sinemyaleto lokumele siwendlulise. Lisontfo limiselwe kwekutsi lifundzise futsi lishumayete livangeli kubantfu labalahlekile.

EMAGOSA
1. Ligosa ngumhleli wetintfo, umfundisi, umshumayeli, ubishophi, nemelusi wemhlambi wetimvu taNkhulunkhulu.
Ana sifundza emibhalweni, sibona kwekutsi kunemagama lamanyenti kabi lahlukahlukene lanikiwe emsebentini weligosa. Ngalokuvamisile kuye kufanekiswe ngetindlela letahlukene umsebenti weligosa. Ligosa libophetekile ekubeni libuke umhlambi, libitwe ngekutsi lingumelusi wemhlambi welisontfo. Ana umuntfu anemhlambi lobalulekile wetimvu, uye atsembele kumelusi kwekutsi utawumelusela kahle, nekutsi kusibopho semelusi kwekutsi atiholele emadlelweni lamahle, te abone nekutsi tiphephile yini, nekubona leto lesetihluka emhlambini bese tiyalahleka. Kufanele atigadze atigcine tiphephile te ajabule umnikati wato. Ngiwo-ke-nalona umsebenti lokumele neligosa liwentile emhlambini weNkhosi, nasesontfweni lakhe. Kumele aholel emaKrestu ngesibonelo semelusi, abonise ngalokugcwele ngemphilo lena Nkhulunkhulu lafuna bayiphile. Kumele futsi ligosa libone kwekutsi libandla kungabe lifundziswa Livi lemphilo na. Kumele nalo libafundzise lona ngekwalo, lokusho kutsi kumele abenelutsandvo lolukhulu bgeLivi laNkhulunkhulu futsi akwati nekufundzisa labanye. Kumele akwati kusefa lokuhle kulokubi, futsi abone kwekutsi emaKrestu kungabe afundziswa liciniso nangelutsandvo na. Ligosa kumele litibophetele ekutfoleni kwekutsi umbiko lotfulwako kungabe ngewelivangeli laNkhulunkhulu yini na. Kumele livikele umhlambi wakhe etingotini kulabo labangahle bachamuke ekhatsi kwabo bafundzise emanga. Matewu naye uyasicwayisa ngalaba befundisi bemanga. "Balekelani ebafundisi bemanga labeta kini bembatsise kwetimvu, kepha ngekhatsi batimphisi letitfumbako. Niyobati ngetitselo tabo. Kungakhiwa yini titselo temvini emanyeveni nobe emakhiwane ekha asini na." (Matewu 7:15,16) Ana ligosa lingakagadzi, laba bakhohlisi bangeta bafundzise ebantfu bakhe kabi. Bayokwatiwa ngetitselo tabo, nangetimphilo tabo. Liciniso nekwetsembeka ngekwelivangeli kusho imphilo yenu Nkhulunkhulu. Umntfolophila ngephasi kwemanga akanayo emandla abufundisi futsi lisontfo alinako kumemukela. Pawula umchaza kanjeyi:
"Malabo labanesimiso sekumesaba Nkhulunkhulu, kepha emandla ako bayawaphika, labo-ke ubobabalekela. Ngobe kulabo kuchamuka labanyonyobela etindlini batfumbe besimame labasindzwa tono, bechutjwa tinkhanuko letinhlobonhlobo, befundza njalo, kepha bangeke bafika ekulatini liciniso." (2 Timothewu 3:5-7) Ligosa kumele litfole futsi labo labaye babuke esontfweni, liphindze libabuyisele. Kumele lihlale libukile kwekutsi ayikho yini indvodza kumbe umfati longasakholwa futsi angaseti esontfweni, kumele ligosa libabuyisele esontfweni. Ligosa kumele litibophetele ebuKrestwini, nasekukholweni eNkhosini, nasekutseni umuntfu kumele atsandze ebantfu. Leligama lelitsi umbhishopi lomuhla lisho kuhlela nokwengamela emabandla, kepha alitfolakali eBhayibhelini. Kepha liBhayibheli libalula umbhishopi njengeligosa lenhlanganyelo yendzawo. Kepha ligosa nembhishopi kusho intfo yinye. Bangebalusi bemihlambi yetimvu taNkhulunkulu lisontfo phela. Umbhishopi kusibopho sakhe kwekutsi ahole ngemoya emaKrestu ebandleni lakhe. Uligosa phela.
2. Krestu uniketa ticinisekiso emsebentini wemagosa.
LiBhayibheli ngalokucacile liyakuchaza loku laphayi encwadzini ya Titu 1:6-9 nasencwadzini 1 Timotewu 3:2-7 inhlobo yemuntfu lena Nkhulunkhulu lafuna sibe ngiyo te atewusikhetsela umsebenti webugosa. Ngalokuvamisile ungeke utfole ebantfu bewulungele lonamsebenti, kepha sibopho sanobe ngubani kwekutsi ente lokuncono phela lisontfo litewukwati kukhetsa longcono lolungele lonamusebenti.
Jesu watsi, "Ngako-ke manibe ngulabaphelele, njengaloku neYihlo wasezulwini uphelele." (Matewu 5:48) Injongo yetfu kumele kube ngukufezeka. Umuntfu longafuni kuba sibonelo lesihle ebuKrestwini, angeke akwati kwekutsi abeligosa kusasa.
ABEMSULWA: (Titu 1:6) Indvodza lenetibonelo letimbi ebuKrestwini, akufanele nakancane ikhetselwe kulonamsebenti webugosa. Kepha umuntfu lokumele abeligosa nguloyo losibonelo lesihle elibandleni longabekwa embili.
UMFATI ABEMUNYE: (1 Timotewu 3:2) Lisontfo akumele likhetse umuntfu lokwatiwako kwekutsi unebafati labengcako kumunye. Kumele kucinisekiswe ekutsamemi umgumuntfo lonemfati munye nekutsi uyakholelwa kuye. Ana ngabe umfati wakhe wafa nyalo sewushade kabusha, nalapho angakhetfwa njengagosa. Alikho ligosa lelivunyelwe kuba nebafati lababili sikhatsi sinye.
BANTFWANA LABAFUNDZISWE KAHLE: (1 Timotewu 3:4) Ebantfwana bagosa kumele kube ngebantfwana labakholwako. Babe lokholwako kumele ente sibonelo lesihle emndenini wakhe, aholele bantfwana bakhe ebuKrestwini. Ana umuntfu angakwati kuholela bantfwana bakhe eNkhosini, pho angabazuza njani labanye ekukholweni.
ANGATICABANGELI YENA YEDVWA: (Titu 1:7) Ligosa kufanele likwati kusebenta nebantfu. Akufanele abengulenhlobo yemuntfu lekuye kutsi njalo ente tintfo ngendlela yakhe. Kumele ente loko lokuhlala njalo kukuhle emehlweni aNkhulunkhulu. Emagosa kumele asebentisane kahle nalamanye kwendlulele nakubefundisi bemabandla.
KUTIPHATSA: (Titu 1:7) Ligosa akufanele kwekutsi libengumuntfu lononophako kutfukutsela. Kumele kwekutsi kube ngumuntfu lokwatiko kutitsiba njalo.
ANGALWI: (1 Timotewu 3:3) Lisontfo akufanele livumelane netimphikiswane letingenamsebenti kanjalo netivumelwano letingekho emtsetfweni. Ligosa akufanele nakancane litfolakale litihlanganise naloko.
KUNGABI NEKUCABANA: (1 Timotewu 3:3) Igosa kumele lingabi ngumuntfu lohalako. Kuyisono kungenela imidlalo yemali kugembula, kubheja, naletinye nje tinjongo letinjalo. Leti tintfo asobe tamukeleka elibandleni. Ligosa akumele lihale, kuhala kudala sono sekuntjontja.
ABENEBUBELE: (1 Timotewu 3:2) Ligosa kumele lemukele tihambi letingemaKrestu emtini walo. Kumele futsi lisite labo labeswele.
LOTSANDZA LOKUHLE: (Titu 1:8) Umangabe ligosa lingulotsandza lokuhle, litawutfolakala njalo esontfweni. Ebangani balo kutawuba ngulabo labatsandza lisontfo.
LONEMICABANGO LELUNGILE: (Titu 1:8) Ligosa kufanele likwati kucabanga lona ngekwalo, hhayi umuntfu losheshe angenwe ngumoya bese usuka malula kulokulungile.
LOGCINA UMTSETFO: (Titu 1:8) Kumele lingabi ngumuntfu lokukhalwako ngaye, kepha tonkhe tento takhe makube nguletilungile atame kuphila "ngemtsetfo weligolide", ente loko kulabanye naye loku layokutsandza ana sebakwenta kuye.
BUNGCWELE: (Titu 1:8) Umuntfu longcwele ngeliciniso akahambi ebanga kwekutsi ungcwele, kodvwa utama kuphila ngephasi kwaNkhulunkhulu lilanga nelilanga. Nkhulunkhulu ulindzele kwekutsi wonkhe emaKrestu afune kubangcwele kuko konkhe kwenta kwakhe.
KUTIPHATSA: (Titu 1:8) Ligosa kumele lingabi ngumuntfu lodzakwako nobe lonesimo lesingcolile ebuntfwini bayo. Kumele likwati kutiphatsa nasekutitsibeni ngato tonkhe tikhatsi, futsi abesibonelo sebuKrestu kulabanye.
LOFUNDZISAKO: (1 Timotewu 3:2) Enhlosweni lenkhulu sibekelwe kufundzisa labanye. Kufundzisa kuyincenye lebalulekile emasontfweni lesikuwo. Ligosa kufanele likwati kuhlelela embili sifundvo lesilandzelako selisontfo. Lomunye kumele afundzise bantfwana. Lomunye futsi kumele afundzise emaKrestu lamasha kwekutsi kumele enteni. Ngisho nemaKrestu lamadzala imbala kumele afundziswe ngemigomo lokumele ayilandzele eNkhosini. Ligosa-ke lona kumele libuke kwekutsi konkhe loku kuhamba kahle na.
ANGABI YIMFUNDZAMAKHWELA: (1 Timotewu 3:7) Ligosa akumele kutsi kube ngumuntfu losafika ebuKrestwini. Akudzingeki kwekutsi kube ngumuntfu lomdzala ngeminyaka, kepha amusha esontfweni! Yemo, kungenteka kwekutsi umuntfu abemdzala ngeminyaka, kepha abemusha eNkhosini. Njengaloku kungenteka futsi umuntfu abemusha ngeminyaka, kepha abenelwati loluhle ngetintfo teNkhosi.
SIMO LESIHLE: (1 Thimotewu 3:7) Ana umuntfu anato tonkhe letitidzingo, lokunye kumele abeneligama lelihle, kodvwa kusidzingo seligosa kwekutsi licabange ngalabo labangekho esontfweni lakhe. Ebantfu labangubomakhelwane nobe bosomabhizinisi kufanele bamtsatse njengeMkrestu sibili, umuntfu labangametsemba njalo. Ana ebantfu labangeko esontfweni bangeke bacabange kwekutsi ungumuntfu lolungile, lisontfo angeke lakwati kumbeka njengeligosa. Kukhona lokungalungile ngaye.
3. Lisontfo kumele likhetse emagosa laceceshiwe, bese kuyalandzelwa kuhola kwawo.
Lamanye emasontfo aye akhetse emagosa awo njalo ngemnyaka kutsi emakhadi abo atsatsa umnyaka munye. Kubalulekile kwekutsi kukhetfwe lababantfu te kugcwaliseke imiBhalo ngekuceceshwa kwabo. Lisontfo kumele litsatse lesisifundvo salenancwadzi embikwekutsi lukhetfo lutsatfwe.
Yonkhe imibhalo lechaza ngemagosa, ibuye itsi kungakhetfwa langetulu kwamunye lisontfo nelisontfo. Kepha imibhalo yona ayikubeki ngembaba kwekutsi kumele kube neligosa linye lisontfo nelisontfo, ngakho-ke lisontfo lingaba neligonsa kumbe mabili nobe mangakhi, nobe ngabe yinhlangano lencane lesemapulazini nobe elokishini.
Ekukhetseni lababantfu, lisontfo kumele licikelele ekukhetseni umuntfu loceceshekile. Njengekunotsa, imfundvo, agcoke kahle nobe yini lebalulekile ngekweliciniso. Imibhalo yona ayisho loku njengetifundvo. Lokubalulekile kakhulu ngumoya longcwele nekucecesha lokutsite caca.
Ana lababantfu sebekhetsiwwe wabekwa emahovisini elisontfo, kumele bavunyelwe kwekutsi bahole lisontfo ngokwemoya. Kungumgomo wabo kwekutsi bachube ngekukamoya longcwele welisontfo, futsi babe ngebaholi labagcwele benhlanganyelo, babe ngebelusi bemhlambi. Nkhulunkhulu wabeka kwekutsi emagosa ahole ebantfu bakhe. Kulidvumo lelikhulu nemgomo kukhetfwa njengeligosa lelisontfo. EmaKrestu ayafundziswa ngokwemibhalo inhlonipho kumele ibonakale kumagosa. Pawula wabhala watsi encwadzini yakhe leya ku Timotewu, "Ningamsoli, kepha mtsatseni njengababe."
4. Emagosa anemsebenti lomnyenti lokumele awente esontfweni.
Emagosa, langebaholi kumele abonise sibonelo lesihle sebuKrestu te kutewuba nekutfula esontfweni. Njalo lisontfo kumele likhetse ebantfu labangaba ngemagosa labayoba sibonelo lesihle. Emagosa kumele njalo abesesontfweni. Kumele babone kwekutsi litafula leNkhosi libekwa ngendlelal lengiyo na kubantfu, khona kutewuba nesiciniseko sekutsi liyabekwa yini livangeli ngendlela lelingiyo nobe cha. Ana livangeli lingabekeki ngendlela, emagosa kumele abonise emalunga kwekutsi kunembiko lovela eLivini laNkhulunkhulu. Lisontfo lingashiyeka lingasenabo buvangeli, kodvwa kumele libe nemagosa latsembekile te ahole ebantfu.
Emagosa kumele avikele lisonttfo kubefundisi bemanga nakubavangeli. Bugosa bumele lisontfo ebuvangelini te kugcwaliseke lipulpeti. Kumele babeneliciniso lekutsi umuntfu labamkhetsako ukulungele yini kwelisontfo, nekutsi ulijaha lelibutsandzako buKrestu nekutsi utawufundzisa ngeliciniso livi laNkhulunkhulu. Kumele babone kwekutsi ente setsembiso sekuphatsa kahle libandla, futsibente nesivumelwane neligosa sekutsi liyohola malini futsi njani. Kufanele kube ngumgomo wabo embikwa Nkhulunkhulu kubona lesisivumelwane sigcinekile yini. Kumele batibophetele emfundzisweni yakhe nasekuchubeni kwakhe livangeli. Emvakwekuba sebambite ngemvangeli, batfole kwekutsi akamukeleki, kumele bamtjele afune lelinye libandla ayewusebenta kulo. Uma atfolwa anelicala lekutsi akenti umsebenti wakhe webuKrestu, nekutsi ufundzisa lokungesilo liciniso ngeliBhayibheli, kumele atjelwe ashiye ngekushesha. Emagosa kungumgomo wawo kutsi angaholeli lisontfo ekudzeni neNkhosi ngetimfundziso takhe netibonelo.
Kuwo onkhe emasontfo, kunalabo labaye babuyele emuva etonweni. Lena yindzaba lenkhulu. Encwadzini yamaHeberu sifundza kutsi, "Ngobe angeke kwenteke kwekutsi labo lasebeke bakhanyiswa banambitsa siphiwo sasezulwini, bentiwa ebahlanganyeli kuMoya loNgcwele. Banambitsa livi lelihle leNkhosi nemandla elive lelitako. Babuye bahlubuke-angeke kwenteke babuye bavuswe, bagucuke, ngobe sebatibetselela iNdvodzana yaNkhulunkhulu, bayitsela ngelihlazo." (KumaHeberu 6:4-6) Njen gebelusi, kumele bahambe emvakwetimvu te tingenokulahleka kuletinye, kanjalo-ke nemagosa kumele ahambe emvakwema-kholwa te angenawulahleka esontfweni awele ebumnyameni besono. Emagosa abophetelekile emhlambini welisontfo. Kumele abenelutsandvo, afune nekuletsa labahlubukile eNkhosini.

Sisebentise ligama lelitsi "umvangeli" kulelibhuku ana sifuna kwendlulela emsebentini wemfundisi. Kungoba leligama "umdikoni" lichaza kwekutsi sisebenti nobe umfundisi. Umdikoni usisebenti nobe umfundisi welisontfo ana sisebentisa umtsetfo weliBhayibheli. Umsebenti wemdikoni uyincenye lenkhulu esontfweni ngobe nemagosa ngulapho atsembela khona ana angekho.
2. Libhayibheli lisinika ticu temdikoni.
Encwadzini yekucala yaPawula layibhalela Timotewu, sahluko sesitsatfu, livesi 8-12, sifundza ngetimfanelo lokumele abenatoemadikoni. kumele kube selicophelweni lelisetulu

3. Umsebenti webadikoni lokumele awente esontfweni.
Kungumgomo lomkhulu webadikoni kwekutsi abambele emagosa emsebentini wabo esontfweni. Makesicabange kutsi konje kungaba ngumsebenti muni labangawenta te kugcwaliseke loku.
Ebadikoni kumele banakelele tonkhe tinhlelo tetimali telisontfo. Kumele babone kwekutsi sakhiwo selisontfo sihlala sichitjelwe yini, nekutsi tintfo letisitako tikhokhelwe kahle na, nekutsi intsela ikhokhiwe na, nekutsi buvangeli bukhokhelwe na. Kungaba kuhle ana umgcinisikhwama namabhalane belisontfo kungebadikoni. Lisontfo nelisontfo kumele lente sivumelwane nebuvangeli sekutsi angatfola malini liholo inyanga nenyanga, ebadikoni kumele bente siciniseko sekutsi uholelwe njengobe kubekiwe. Ebadikoni kumele bahlangane njalo nje te bacwaninge umbiko wemgcini timali, inzuzo yelisontfo ngokweshumi nangeminikelo yemalungu alo, kanjalo nangetindleko. Ngekucophelela imibhalo leyo iyogcinwa te kwatiwe ngato tonkhe timali telisontfo. Lababantfu bayobeka sibonelo lesihle ngekunikela kwabo kweshumi neminikelo eNkhosini.
Mabhalane welisontfo kungaba ngumdikoni kumbe ligosa. Kumele agcine ngalokuphele emarekhodi alabolababhapatiswako nalabo labayekelako esontfweni. Kumele abhale bonke lesebashonile kanjalo nalabo labashintjela kuletinye tindzawo, abuke nekutsi emagama abo ayesulwa yini eluhlwini lemibhalo yakhe.
4. Lisontfo lingakhetsa nakulabasikati ebadikonikati.
Ku 1 Timotewu 3:11, sifundza kutsi, "Ngalokunjalo nalabasikati mababe nesizotha, bangahlebi, labatitsibayo, labatsembekako etintfweni tonkhe." KubaseRoma 16:1, kunendzaba lefanako ya Febe naye lowake waba ngumdikonikati welisontfo laseRoma. Wabe asisebenti selisontfo.

Bangasita ekufundziseni ngesikolo sangelisontfo, bente timvuselelo kulabamphofu nalabaswele, nakulabo labagulako esontfweni, bakhulekele bonkhe. Kuntintfo letinengi labangatenta letinhle labasikati emasontfweni.
SAHLUKO SESIHLANU
UMVANGELI
1. Leliligama lichazeka etukwemsebenti lowentiwe ngumvangeli.
Lomunye eve kwekutsi umvangeli ngumfundisi, kodvwa umsebenti wakhe awunganga wemfundisi ekuhambiseni livangeli. Emagosa nebadikoni ngebafundisi.
2. Tindzingeko temvangeli.
Alikho luhlu lwetidzingeko temvangeli letitfolakala eBhayibhelini, kodvwa kumele sicabange kwekutsi ngeke babe ngephasi kakhulu kuleti tebadikoni, nemagosa. Stefane wabe angumvangeli abuye abengumdikoni, njengaFilipu. Kusuka ekhatsi kwemagosa nebadikoni kwekutsi kubekhona ebavangeli. Lababantfu kumele bahambe sikolo sekucecesha te baceceshelwe kuhambisa livi leNkhosi.
3. Umsebenti wemvangeli.
Kungumsebenti wemvangeli kwekutsi ashumayele futsi afundzise livangeli laKrestu. Kumele anikete sonkhe sikhatsi sakhe emsebentini wakhe, ngako-ke lisontfo kumele lente sivumelwane naye sekutsi batewumholela liholo lelingakanani te akwati kubukana netidzingo temndeni wakhe, nekukhokhela tidzingo tendlu leyo lahlala kuyo. Uma singafundza kube-1 baseKorinte 9 na 1 Thimotewu 5, sitawubona iNkhosi ichaza kutsi kumele sondle ebavangeli. Umvangeli kumele asungule tikhungo letinsha tekushumayelela livangeli telisontfo nebadikoni nemagosa bangamsita ngekutsi babuke letitinhlanganyelo tibanjwa ngalokungiko kanjalo nesidlo lesiNgcwele. Umvangeli kumele avakashele leti tikhungo te acinisekise kwekutsi umsebenti uhamba kahle. Ana sekunemagatja lamanyeti elivangeli, emagosa nebadikoni kumele bavakashele njalo ngeliviki, bese kutsi lawamacembu ahlukaniswe, bese kuba nemvangeli lomusha atewulekelela.
Kushumayela livangeli kungukubitwa, akusiko buciko. Kungumsebenti weNkhosi, hhayi sikhundla lesiphakeme. Okhololo, timphahla letimnyama, tintsambo letindze, nalokunye nje lokufute loku, akuhambisani nemtsetfo weliTestamente leliiSha lokulibandla laKrestu. Ebavangeli beliciniso abenti nje lomsebenti te badvunyiswe ngebantfu. Bawenta lomsebenti ngobe bentela iNkhosi. Leligama lelitsi "umfundisi" silitfola kanye eBhayibhelini, lisetjentiswa nguNkhulunkhulu, hhayi ebantfu nje (EmaHubo 111:9)
Umsebenti wemvangeli ngukushumayela livangeli, afundzise, asebentele kuwina emalungu lamasha kuKrestu, nekusungula tikhungo letinsha telisontfo, nekutsi njalo abesibonelo lesihle kumaKrestu. Umngcwabo ulitfuba lelikhulu lekufinyelela kubantfulabangemange sebake balive livangeli nekuvuselela insindziso yabo. Kusikhatsi lapho ebantfu bacabanga ngemphilo emvakwekufa, nekutsi bangatilungiselela njani embikwekufa. Lisontfo kumele limhloniphe umvangeli nangemsebenti wakhe, hhayi nje ngobe engumvangeli.
SAHLUKO SESITFUPHA
IMISEBENTI YELISONTFO
Kunemisebenti leminengi yelisontfo lengekho kodvwa eliBhayibhelini, kepha leyisivumelwane netimfundziso teliBhayibheli. Leto tinhle futsi kumele tichutjwe ngendlela yebuKrestu.
1. Lisontfo sikolo.
Lokunye lokubalulekile kuloku ngumsebenti welisontfosikolo Selibandla. Ligosa ngilo kanye lokumele likwente loku, nobeke tifundvo tingachutjwa ngulolilungu leligcwele lasesontfweni.
Kumele kube netifundvo njalo ngelilanga leNkhosi, njengakusontfosikolo kumalungu akusasa elisontfo. Kumele bafundziswe kutsanda iNkhosi nekuyibeka embili kuko konkhe. Iminikelo yeliSontfosikolo kumele yendluliselwe kumgcinisikhwa ma te batsengelwe nobe yini lokubonakele kwekutsi bayashoda ngakoo, njengemashoki, tintfo tekufundzisa, libhodi lekubhalela, emabhuku kanye nemaphepha.
2. Umhlangano walabasikati:
Umhlangano walabasikati yinhlanganyelo yemkhuleko, kumanyana, nekufundza liBhayibheli. Njengobe laba besimame baye bawente njeumsebenti webudikonikati, umhlangano wabo unesidzingo lesikhulu esontfweni.
3. Kuceceshwa kwalabasha nemalungu lamasha.
Lisontfo nelisontfo kumele libe nesikhatsi lapho litewucecesha khona ebantfu labasha nemalunga lafikako ngeliBhayibheli. LiBhayibheli litsi, ana ebantfu sebebhapatisiwe kuKrestu, kumele sichubeke nekubafundzisa.
Lonamhlangano kumele ubenesikhatsi semkhuleko nekufundza. Labanyenti kulelicembu bangaba ngemaKrestu, ana basengakabi ngiwo ngalokugcwele.
4. Likhwaya.
Ebantfu labasha kumele babengemalungu elikhwaya, kungaba kuhle kwekutsi kubanjwe lenamicimbi busku bunye, ilandzelane. Likhwaya kumele libe ngephasi kwebuholi bemuntfu longcono. Kungalungiselwa tikhatsi letisipesheli teliLanga leNkhosi.
5. Umhlangano welibandla.
Umhlangano wemnyaka welisontfo, ubuye watiwe ngekutsi yinkomfa, sikhatsi sekuhlanganyela, kukhuleka, nekukhonta. Akusiso sikhatsi sekubeka imitsetfo yelisontfo nobe kucatulula tinkhinga telisontfo. Leto tinkhinga tingacatululwa lisontfo lendzawo, hhayi inkomfa. Ebakhulumi labaselizingeni lelisetulu nemculo bangasetjentiswa kulonambutfwano, bese kubusiswa wonke lofikile lapho.
Nobe ngabe nguliphi libandla laKrestu lingahlanganyela kulonambutfwano, kuphela nje ana asebentisana ngekuvana nalamanye emasontfo futsi uma loko kwemukelekile.
Ngenhloso yekukhetsa titfunywa tembutfwano, libandla ngelibandla livumelekile kutfumela titfunywa letimbili tiyomelela. Uma kulibandla lelikhulu, kungengetwa linani letitfunywa nobe tisihlanu tilungile.
6. Tindzawo tekushumayela nemihlangano yemakwata.
Emasontfo lamanyenti lasondzelene, nobe labanjwe ngumvangeli munye, anemihlangano yendzawo, mhlawumbe emvakwetinyanga letintsatfu. Lena mihlangano ingabanjelwa kulelinye lemasontfo endzawo. Benta inhloso yekuhlanganyela bakhonte, alikho libhizinisi kuloko.
7. Tikolo tekuceceshela libhayibheli.
Onke emasontfo kumele bonkhe bavangeli babo kumelebaceceshwe esikolweni seliBhayibheli lesisungulelwe loko. Tidzingo letifunekako kumuntfu ana afuna kungena kulesisikolo ticinisekiswe kakhulu te kutewuhlanagatjetwana netidzingo. Kuhle phela kwekutsi libandla litikhetsele lona umvangeli longumuntfu loceceshekile waba nelwati lekwenta umsebenti kancono kuleso sikolo. Ebantfu labaceceshekile, banelwati lolutsite caca, bangenta umsebenti kahle banotse ngeliholo lelisetulu.
Nobe nje sichuba tifundvo teliBhayibheli ngeliposi nje, emvakwaleto tifundvo, lwati lolunye kumele lutfolakale esikolweni ngalokugcwele. Ana umuntfu aceceshwa njengemvangeli, kumele akwati kuphonsa imibuto ana ikhona kumceceshi wakhe, futsi atfole timphendvulo leticondzile, kumele abenelicoco letincwadzi, nalokunye nje kwesikolo. Asikwati kukuchubekisela embili ngeliposi.
SAHLUKO SELISONTFO
TIMALI
1. Indlela umKrestu lasebentisa ngayo imali isemcoka.
UmKrestu eliTestamenteni lakhe LeliSha uchazwa njengelibamba. Loku kusho kutsi konkhe lesinako asiko kwetfu. Konkhe lesinako ngekwaBkhulunkhulu, futsi ulindzele kwekutsi sikusebentise ngendlela leyomjabulisa yena. (Luka 16:1-8, 19:11-28). EmaKrestu ngeke aletse incenye yemali enzuzweni yawo, kutsi lesele alindzele kuyisebentisa nobe kanjani ngendlela labafisa ngayo. Ingani natsi singebakaNkhulunkhulu. Asikatiphatsi. Akumele lenamali lesele siyisebentisele njengasetjwaleni, ligwayi, kugembula, nobe yini nje lokusono. Leyoncenye lesele solo ngeyaNkhuluunkhulu, uyasiyala kwekutsi siyisebentisele tidzingo temindeni yetfu. Kumele sente konkhe te sijabulise Nkhulunkhulu.
Libhayibheli njalo lisifundzisa kwekutsi lokungenani kumele sinikele ngekwelishumi emalini lesiyiholako. Loku kubitwa ngekutsiwa ngekweshumi. (Gen. 28:22; Ne h. 10:37,38; Malaki 3:8-10). EmaJuda nawo kwabe kudzingekile kwekutsi akhokhe kweshumi eNkhosini. Tsine-ke lesinaKrestu, sinesikweletu lesikhulu eNkhosini kunemaJuda. Nkhulunkhulu uyetsembisa kubusisa labo betfu labamutfobelako kuloku. Kumele simuphe Nkhulunkhulu ngelisontfo kuluoku lesikuzuzako. Angeke simuphe nje emapenyana bese kuye silindzela tibusiso letinkhulu. Encwadzini yaMalaki labo labatama kwenta loku ubabita ngekutsi "tigebengu". (Malaki 3:8).
Sifundza ku-2 Korinte 8:4 na ku Misebenti 2:42 ngemisebenti yebudlelwano ndzawonye ekukhonteni. Loku akusibo budlelwane ekukhulekeni, kodvwa budlelwane ekuphaneni eNkhosini.
Konkhe kupha kwetfu kwabe kungobe sinelutsandvo eNkhosini. Nkhulunkhulu utsandza labanesihe sekupha. Ngalenandlela sinelilungelo lekuba simbonge ngekupha.
2. Kuphela indlela Nkhulunkhulu lapha ngayo kuchaswa libandla ngetipho tebuKrestu.
Nkhulunkhulu akasho-ke kutsi sihambe singena umnyango nemnyango sibutsa timali telisontfo. Kungemahloni kwekutsi libandla libutse timali kubantfu labange siwona emakholwa te kumiswe umsebenti welisontfo. Akumele sibhadale imisebenti ye Nkhosi ngekutfola imali kumakhonsati, nobe ngungayiphi indlela yekucoca imali. Ana emaKrestu enta loku lokulungile ebusweni baNkhulunkhulu, kuyoba nemali lenyenti te kutewubhadaleka tonkhe tindleko telisontfo.
3. Iminikelo yelisontfo kulifa laNkhulunkhulu.
Ebadikoni banalo lilungelo lekusebentisa lenamali njengesikhwama seNkhosi. Lokusho kutsi kungatsengwa tintfo letidzingekato telisontfo, nekukhokhela liholo lemvangeli, netindlela tekuhambisela labanye livangeli. Liholo lekuvunyelenwe ngalo kumele liphume njalo ngeliviki, sikweletu semanti nagesi kumele naso sikhokhelwe, irenti yesakhiwo selisontfo kumele kukhokhwe kanjalo naletinye tindleko telisontfo nobe telisontfo sikolo. Lisontfo futsi kumele libeke eceleni samba lesitsite te sitfunyelwe esikolweni seliBhayibheli te kuceceshwe ebavangeli, kanjalo nesikhwama sebuvangeli nesesakhiwo te kumiswe umsebenti weNkhosi kuleminye imiphakatsi.
4. Lisontfo kumele libenesipesheli sesikhwama sesakhiwo.
Lisontfo nelisontfo line-akhawunti yekonga te banakekele sakhiwo selisontfo. Lenamali ingasetjentiswa kuphela ekulungiseni sakhiwo nobe ekwakhiweni kwesakhiwo lesisha nobe indlu yemishini. Ngako-ke iminikelo ingasetjentiselwa lesisikhwama.
SEHLUKO SESIPHOHLONGA
KUSONTSA
1.Umsebenti wekusontsa kumele uhlelwe ngenhlonipho yeNkhosi.
Lawomalungiselelo bakentiwa lingakangeni lisontfo, kubukwe nekutsi kungasetjentiswa maphi emaculo, bese ayakhetfwa, nekutsi lomunye acelwe kwekutsi ahole ngemkhuleko, nekutsi sidlo seNkhosi sendluliselwa kahle na. Yonkhe imisebenti kumele ihambe ngelusiko.
2. Sikhatsi sesidlo senkhosi sikhatsi lesisipesheli.
Labasikati kumele bafake tindvwangu, etafuleni bagcwalise titja tetinkhwa nemakomishi embikwekutsi umsebenti ucale. Kumele kube netinkhomishi letenele te kube nguloyo naloyo abeneyakhe, luju lwemagilebisi lokumele lufakwe kahle emabhodleleni lamancane, kumele kulungiswe kahle kutfululelwe ejekeni te kutewutfolakala malula ana sekusetjentiswa. Kumele kube nemacebelengwane lenele ana sekucalwa umsebenti. Ana kungatsengwangwa luju lwemagilebi, jamu wemagilebisi ungahlanganiswa nemanti kwentiwe luju. Sesisho-ke emadolobheni lamancane.
3. Lubhabhadiso lusikhatsi lesingcwele kuMkrestu lomusha.
Loyomuntfu kumele asikhumbule ngenjabulo leso sikhatsi labhaphapathiswa ngaso. Kumele kube nekufundvwa kwemibhalo, umkhuleko, nekubhapathiswa, mhlawumbe nekuculwa kwemaculo. Emagosa kumele abeneliciniso lekutsi emanti anele. Kumele lawomanti ahlolisiswe kahle. Esitibeni kubalulekile kwekutsi umuntfu ahlole kushona kwaso, nekutsi asishoni kakhulu na. Loyo lobhapathiswako kumele afakwe alaliswe aze afike esihlabatsini, bese masinyane uyaphakanyiswa, bese usulwa ngengubo, agcokiswe timphahla letomile.
4. Sitifiketi sekubhapatizwa kumele siphume masinyane emvakwekubhapatizwa.
Ngekushesha lokungahle kwenteke emvakwekubhapatiswa, mabhalane welisontfo kumele alungise sitifiketi nayo yonke imininingwane, bese siniketwa uMkrestu lomusha esontfweni. Akumele sibitwe imali, nobe silahlekile. Ebatali kumele bente njalo makubantfwana babo babengemaKrestu latsembekile ana sebekhulile.
SISHAYELELO
Akusiyo injongo yalencwadzi kubonisa kungapheleli kwesisekelo salesisishayelelo, kepha kutama, kubonisa licebo leNkhosi lelembuliwe kuTestamente lelisha lelibandla. Likamuva lelokhulu lemsebenti laniketwa kubahleli balencwadzi etincwadzini letikhishiwe, "A Functioning Eldership", W.R. Walker, "Church Officer's Guide", Edwin V. Hayden, "Handbook for Elders and Deacons", ngu R.C. Harding. Nabo ngulabanye labanganako kungabata batfola kuletinye tincwadzi tabo tekucala lombhalo. Wafundvwa ngengcondvo leyalungiselwa inhlalo leyetayelekile e-Afrika. Kulamalanga ibhalwe ngemkhuleko wekusita nekubonisa. Kubaholi bemabandla aKrestu kulolonkhe lase-Afrika.
Umbhali.
LIBANDLA LAMISWA NGUNKHULUNKHULU
1. Licebo lakhe njengobe belingakembulwa kuTestamente Lelisha.
Libandla laKrestu libandla lase Testamenteni leliSha.
Lasekelwa lamiswa ekuhlelweni kweTestamente leliSha kodvwa kwabe kungukadze ivetwa ngendlela lengakacaci ngetikhatsi teliTestamente lelidzala, umkhumbi lowakhiwa nguNowa yabe isambulo sekucacisa ngelibandla leliyobakhona eminyakeni leyendlula Nkhulunkhulu. Waniketa licebo lemkhumbi ngalokucace kakhulu. Leli licebo lalandzelwa ngekubeketela. Nkhulunkhulu wabe sati kwekutsi ubonisa intfo leliyobangiyo libandla. Umkhumbi wabe uyindlela yekubonisa kusindziswa kwabo. Babeyosindziswa etikhukhuleni. Nowa wayalelwa kushumayela te bonkhe babenelitfuba lokwemukela umyalelo basindziswe. Bekufanele bangene ngelisango linye emkhunjini basindze ekubhujisweni. Umkhumbi wabe unemnyango munye njengobe kunjalo nalomuhla, linye lisango elibandleni laJesu Krestu. Nkhulunkhulu walivala lisango lemkhumbi ana sekufika tikhukhula. Nkhulunkhulu naye uyolivala lisango lelibandla ana iNkhosi ibuya itewulandza bayo. Labo labangemange batfole insindziso elibandleni bayewutisola.
Kwakukhona umfanekiso wendlu yekukhontela. Nkhulunkhulu wabonisa ngetulu ngelibandla. Ngalesikhatsi wakhetsa kubonisa ngenchazelo lenkhulu. Indzawana yonkhe kulendlu yayinemcondziso wentfo kulo libandla. Nkhulunkhulu imiyalo lesele. Weta naMosi wabona kwekutsi ichutjwa ngalokuphelele na, Lidina labe litokwentiwa e-altari embikwendlu njengaloku neNkhosi lenguJesu yaba lidina embikwelibandla lelicinile. Abefundisi babehlanjwa esiteni lesikhulu sebraso. Embikwekutsi bangene esakhiweni selitabanakeli. Kucala akahlanjwe emantini elubhabatiso embikwekutsi amukelwe ebudelwaneni belibandla laJesu Krestu. Ngekhatsi endlini kwabe kukhona tintfo letintsatfu letibalulekile. Sibane lesisaGolide lesimele kukhanya kwelivangeli njengobe kwembuliwe elivini laNkhulunkhulu. Litafula lesinkhwa lelimele litafula lokudvunyisela iNkhosi elibandleni kanye neli-altare yekudvunyisela lemele imikhuleko yalabangcwele. Kwenyukela kuNkhulunkhulu liphunga lelimnandzi ekhatsi kwetindlu letimbili teli Tabanakeli. Lelulwe luhide lelikhulu lekutsiwa sivalo selitabanakele. Ite kamuva ibe sivimbo selitempheli mhla lithempheli lakhiwa. Tindlu letimbili timele libandla, nelizulu kuyo itabanakeli. Letitindlu tehlukaniswe ngelihalideni ladzabula etulu kuya entasi yabetselelwa inkosi. Icondzisa kuvulwa kweminyango yelizulu ngekufa kwakhe. Krestu uniketa insindziso ngalo libandla itabanakeli. Umfundisi lomkhulu wabanako kungena ebungcweleni bebungcwele kanye ngemnyaka yena yedvwa. Krestu waya ezulwini.
Indlela lokumele siyilandzele te silandzele kuta kwelibandla lakhe icaciswe Encwadzini yeMisebenti sahluko 2 yabakhona ngelilanga lePentekosi ngekunonopha emvakwekufa nekuvuka kwakhe ethuneni.
2. Lisontfo Lingumtimba waKrestu, yena uyinhloko yalo.
Banengi bantfu labaye batsatse lisontfo njengentfo ledzelelekelako, Kepha akunjalo nakancane. Lisontfo lingumtimba waKrestu. Ngumtimba lophilako.
Imibhalo itsi kubase-Efesu 5:23, "Krestu uyinhloko yelibandla, futsi ungumsindzisi wemtimba." Yinhloko lelawula umtimba, amukho umtimba lophilako ngephandle kwenhloko, nobe lonetinhloko letimbili. Yinhloko lenemphokophelo yekulawula umtimba wonke. Njengaloku-ke nelibandla laKrestu lingenato tinhloko letimbili, yasemhlabeni nobe yasezulwini. Angeke libe yinhlangano lephetfwe ngumbhishobhi, ngunsumpa, ngumongameli, okanye likomidi kodvwa litawubuswa nguKrestu Jesu. INkhosi lenguJesu ngiyo leyinhloko yelibandla. Libandla lakhe linemagunya onke Kuye, nasebunhlokweni bakhe.
Umtimba uhlanganiswe ngetincenye letinengi temtimba, bese kutsi incenye nencenye inemsebenti wayo lokumele iwente. "Umtimba akusilo lilungu linye, kepha manyenti." (1 Korinte 12:14) "Nyalo ningumtimba waKrestu, ningemalungu labalulekile." (1 Korinte 12:27.) Emalungu emtimba lophilako ngekwenyama abekelwe kwekutsi ente umsebenti lotsite, akukho lapho atewusilela khona ngobe acondziswa yinhloko. Njengatsi ngobe singemalungu laphelele emtimba weNkhosi, kumele sente umsebenti lofanako, weNkhosi. Angeke siwente lomsebenti ana singacondziswa ngiyo ngalokuphelele.
Lisontfo linetulu kwenhlangano ngemandla. Akusiko kutsi lingebantfu labanengi labahlangene ngephasi kwesandla semvangeli lotsite. Futsi alisona sakhiwo lesimisiwe kwekutsi singene ngephasi kwaso sihlanganyele. Kepha lisontfo liyigenge yebantsu leye yamukela Jesu njengeNkhosi neMsindzisi neNkhosi, futsi labaye batfobela yena, bahlangana kuko kukhonta kuKrestu, ngephasi kwebuholi bakhe. Singakhontela endlini, kepha ngebantfu labenta libandla libe lisontfo lelicinile.

"Ngaloko hambani nente tive tonkhe ebafundzi, nibabhapathize egameni leYise neleNdvodzane nelikaMoya loNgcwele, nibafundzise kulondvolota konkhe lenginiyala ngako, bukani, mine nginani, malanga onkhe kudzimate kube sekupheleni kwelive. (Matewu 28:19,20)
1. Kuyintfo yekucala nalehamba embili kwekutsi lisontfo lente umsebenti wekumisa emaKrestu.
Sinyatselo sekucala sekusondzeta umuntfu kuKrestu ngukufundzisa. Ingani neNkhosi lenguJesu ngekwayo yabe ingafuni ngekubitwa ngemfundisi lomkhulu. Wabe abitwa ngekutsiwa "NguRabi", lokusho kwekutsi umfundisi. Wabe afundzisa ngemateku ana afundzisa ngaletinye tikhatsi. Wafundzisa sigejane lesikhulu sebantfu ngasikhatsi sinye, njengalesikhatsi afundzisa sigejana lesikhulu endzaweni yasentsabeni abapha inshumayelo lena lomuhla sekutsiwa "yinshumayelo yasentsabeni", kepha futsi waphindze washumayela ebantfu labehlukene njengalesikhatsi ashumayela Nikodemu, kanye nemfati wase Samariya. Wabe angumfundisi lomkhulu. Natsi wasitfuma kwekutsi sibe ngebafundisi. Akufanele kwekutsi silahle ematfuba ekufundzisa nobe ngabe semunye ngaKrestu. Siyalelwe yiNkhosi kwekuba sifundzise, sibhapathiswe, futsi sichubeke nekushumayela. Umphumela lomuhle walesisifundvo kuyoba ngukutsi ebantfu batfobele umtsetfo waNkhulunkhulu. "Filipu washumayela umtopiya lowabe afuna kwekutsi abhapathizwe. "Filipu wavula umlomo wakhe, acala kuloyombhalo washumayela livangeli ngaJesu. Kwatsi basahamba endleleni, bafika emantini. Umthenwa watsi: Buka nawa emanti; kwalani kwekuba ngibhapatizwa na?" (Imisebenti 8:35,36).
Umphumela wekufundzisa ngaJesu kungukutsi ebantfu babenesifiso nekutitfoba kuye yena lotsi, "Lokholwako abhapathiswe, uyosindziswa, kepha longakholwa, uyolahlwa". (Marku 16:16) Kulenye indzawo utsi, "Ana umuntfu angatalwa ngemanti nangeMoya, angeke angene embusweni waNkhulunkhulu." (Johane 3:5) Ngeke kube nembuto kodvwa kutitfoba eNkhosini kufaka lubhapathizp ekutsetselelweni kwetono. Luka ubala kuMisebenti yebapostoli besibili, emavi a-Petro ngePentekosi. "Phendvukani, nguloyo naloyo abhapathizwe egameni laJesu Krestu kuko kutsetselelwa kwetono tenu, khona niyokwemukeliswa siphiwo sakaMoya loNgcwele." (Imisebenti 2:38)
Ana lovumile sabhapatiziwe, kusafuneka kwekutsi kuloku kuchutjekiwe nekumfundzisa, ngobe kunetintfo letinyeti lona wekunene lokumele atati. Kungumsebenti welibandla kwekutsi lichubeke njalo nekufundzisa, khona lona wekunene atekufundza kwekutsi "agcine konkhe loku layalwe ngako." (Krestu) Asishumayeli nje livangeli kupulipeti nje kuphela, kumele sifundzise nalabo lesibatfola ngephandle. Nobe ebantfu sebalitfobele livi leNkhosi, kepha lesisibophetelo sekushumayela asigcini. Akumele sikuyekele loku ana silandzela umyalo wenhloko yelibandla laKrestu.
2. Kukhona lokunye lokungenteka ngalokuphelele emsebentini welibandla.
Krestu amange ayale kwekutsi kwakhiwe tibhedlela, indzawo yetintsandzane, emakhaya alabadzala, kepha konkhe loku kwa ba titselo temfundziso ngelivangeli, ebantfu bagucuka baba ngemakholwa. Lapho livangeli lishunyayelwa khona, kunetibhedlela, indzawo yetintsandzane, futsi kunemakhaya alabadzala. Kunelutsandvo 'nebuntfu lokuvutsela inshisekelo yekwenta lokutsite te kuliwe nekuhlupheka nekweswela. Lona akusiwo umsebenti lomkhulu welisontfo. Kepha umsebenti welisontfo ngukutsi kwandze libandla. Masingabi nemiphumela lengacondzakali elivangelini. Krestu uyabatsandza bonke bantfu, kanjalo nebapostoli kumele babatsandze, futsi kumele bente konkhe lokusemandleni te bacedze kuhlupheka, kodvwa timangaliso tekuphilisa labatentako ngato kuhloswe kutsi kugcwaliswe umbiko loliciniso ngensindziso. Natsi ngekwetfu sinemyaleto lokumele siwendlulise. Lisontfo limiselwe kwekutsi lifundzise futsi lishumayete livangeli kubantfu labalahlekile.

EMAGOSA
1. Ligosa ngumhleli wetintfo, umfundisi, umshumayeli, ubishophi, nemelusi wemhlambi wetimvu taNkhulunkhulu.
Ana sifundza emibhalweni, sibona kwekutsi kunemagama lamanyenti kabi lahlukahlukene lanikiwe emsebentini weligosa. Ngalokuvamisile kuye kufanekiswe ngetindlela letahlukene umsebenti weligosa. Ligosa libophetekile ekubeni libuke umhlambi, libitwe ngekutsi lingumelusi wemhlambi welisontfo. Ana umuntfu anemhlambi lobalulekile wetimvu, uye atsembele kumelusi kwekutsi utawumelusela kahle, nekutsi kusibopho semelusi kwekutsi atiholele emadlelweni lamahle, te abone nekutsi tiphephile yini, nekubona leto lesetihluka emhlambini bese tiyalahleka. Kufanele atigadze atigcine tiphephile te ajabule umnikati wato. Ngiwo-ke-nalona umsebenti lokumele neligosa liwentile emhlambini weNkhosi, nasesontfweni lakhe. Kumele aholel emaKrestu ngesibonelo semelusi, abonise ngalokugcwele ngemphilo lena Nkhulunkhulu lafuna bayiphile. Kumele futsi ligosa libone kwekutsi libandla kungabe lifundziswa Livi lemphilo na. Kumele nalo libafundzise lona ngekwalo, lokusho kutsi kumele abenelutsandvo lolukhulu bgeLivi laNkhulunkhulu futsi akwati nekufundzisa labanye. Kumele akwati kusefa lokuhle kulokubi, futsi abone kwekutsi emaKrestu kungabe afundziswa liciniso nangelutsandvo na. Ligosa kumele litibophetele ekutfoleni kwekutsi umbiko lotfulwako kungabe ngewelivangeli laNkhulunkhulu yini na. Kumele livikele umhlambi wakhe etingotini kulabo labangahle bachamuke ekhatsi kwabo bafundzise emanga. Matewu naye uyasicwayisa ngalaba befundisi bemanga. "Balekelani ebafundisi bemanga labeta kini bembatsise kwetimvu, kepha ngekhatsi batimphisi letitfumbako. Niyobati ngetitselo tabo. Kungakhiwa yini titselo temvini emanyeveni nobe emakhiwane ekha asini na." (Matewu 7:15,16) Ana ligosa lingakagadzi, laba bakhohlisi bangeta bafundzise ebantfu bakhe kabi. Bayokwatiwa ngetitselo tabo, nangetimphilo tabo. Liciniso nekwetsembeka ngekwelivangeli kusho imphilo yenu Nkhulunkhulu. Umntfolophila ngephasi kwemanga akanayo emandla abufundisi futsi lisontfo alinako kumemukela. Pawula umchaza kanjeyi:
"Malabo labanesimiso sekumesaba Nkhulunkhulu, kepha emandla ako bayawaphika, labo-ke ubobabalekela. Ngobe kulabo kuchamuka labanyonyobela etindlini batfumbe besimame labasindzwa tono, bechutjwa tinkhanuko letinhlobonhlobo, befundza njalo, kepha bangeke bafika ekulatini liciniso." (2 Timothewu 3:5-7) Ligosa kumele litfole futsi labo labaye babuke esontfweni, liphindze libabuyisele. Kumele lihlale libukile kwekutsi ayikho yini indvodza kumbe umfati longasakholwa futsi angaseti esontfweni, kumele ligosa libabuyisele esontfweni. Ligosa kumele litibophetele ebuKrestwini, nasekukholweni eNkhosini, nasekutseni umuntfu kumele atsandze ebantfu. Leligama lelitsi umbhishopi lomuhla lisho kuhlela nokwengamela emabandla, kepha alitfolakali eBhayibhelini. Kepha liBhayibheli libalula umbhishopi njengeligosa lenhlanganyelo yendzawo. Kepha ligosa nembhishopi kusho intfo yinye. Bangebalusi bemihlambi yetimvu taNkhulunkulu lisontfo phela. Umbhishopi kusibopho sakhe kwekutsi ahole ngemoya emaKrestu ebandleni lakhe. Uligosa phela.
2. Krestu uniketa ticinisekiso emsebentini wemagosa.
LiBhayibheli ngalokucacile liyakuchaza loku laphayi encwadzini ya Titu 1:6-9 nasencwadzini 1 Timotewu 3:2-7 inhlobo yemuntfu lena Nkhulunkhulu lafuna sibe ngiyo te atewusikhetsela umsebenti webugosa. Ngalokuvamisile ungeke utfole ebantfu bewulungele lonamsebenti, kepha sibopho sanobe ngubani kwekutsi ente lokuncono phela lisontfo litewukwati kukhetsa longcono lolungele lonamusebenti.
Jesu watsi, "Ngako-ke manibe ngulabaphelele, njengaloku neYihlo wasezulwini uphelele." (Matewu 5:48) Injongo yetfu kumele kube ngukufezeka. Umuntfu longafuni kuba sibonelo lesihle ebuKrestwini, angeke akwati kwekutsi abeligosa kusasa.
ABEMSULWA: (Titu 1:6) Indvodza lenetibonelo letimbi ebuKrestwini, akufanele nakancane ikhetselwe kulonamsebenti webugosa. Kepha umuntfu lokumele abeligosa nguloyo losibonelo lesihle elibandleni longabekwa embili.
UMFATI ABEMUNYE: (1 Timotewu 3:2) Lisontfo akumele likhetse umuntfu lokwatiwako kwekutsi unebafati labengcako kumunye. Kumele kucinisekiswe ekutsamemi umgumuntfo lonemfati munye nekutsi uyakholelwa kuye. Ana ngabe umfati wakhe wafa nyalo sewushade kabusha, nalapho angakhetfwa njengagosa. Alikho ligosa lelivunyelwe kuba nebafati lababili sikhatsi sinye.
BANTFWANA LABAFUNDZISWE KAHLE: (1 Timotewu 3:4) Ebantfwana bagosa kumele kube ngebantfwana labakholwako. Babe lokholwako kumele ente sibonelo lesihle emndenini wakhe, aholele bantfwana bakhe ebuKrestwini. Ana umuntfu angakwati kuholela bantfwana bakhe eNkhosini, pho angabazuza njani labanye ekukholweni.
ANGATICABANGELI YENA YEDVWA: (Titu 1:7) Ligosa kufanele likwati kusebenta nebantfu. Akufanele abengulenhlobo yemuntfu lekuye kutsi njalo ente tintfo ngendlela yakhe. Kumele ente loko lokuhlala njalo kukuhle emehlweni aNkhulunkhulu. Emagosa kumele asebentisane kahle nalamanye kwendlulele nakubefundisi bemabandla.
KUTIPHATSA: (Titu 1:7) Ligosa akufanele kwekutsi libengumuntfu lononophako kutfukutsela. Kumele kwekutsi kube ngumuntfu lokwatiko kutitsiba njalo.
ANGALWI: (1 Timotewu 3:3) Lisontfo akufanele livumelane netimphikiswane letingenamsebenti kanjalo netivumelwano letingekho emtsetfweni. Ligosa akufanele nakancane litfolakale litihlanganise naloko.
KUNGABI NEKUCABANA: (1 Timotewu 3:3) Igosa kumele lingabi ngumuntfu lohalako. Kuyisono kungenela imidlalo yemali kugembula, kubheja, naletinye nje tinjongo letinjalo. Leti tintfo asobe tamukeleka elibandleni. Ligosa akumele lihale, kuhala kudala sono sekuntjontja.
ABENEBUBELE: (1 Timotewu 3:2) Ligosa kumele lemukele tihambi letingemaKrestu emtini walo. Kumele futsi lisite labo labeswele.
LOTSANDZA LOKUHLE: (Titu 1:8) Umangabe ligosa lingulotsandza lokuhle, litawutfolakala njalo esontfweni. Ebangani balo kutawuba ngulabo labatsandza lisontfo.
LONEMICABANGO LELUNGILE: (Titu 1:8) Ligosa kufanele likwati kucabanga lona ngekwalo, hhayi umuntfu losheshe angenwe ngumoya bese usuka malula kulokulungile.
LOGCINA UMTSETFO: (Titu 1:8) Kumele lingabi ngumuntfu lokukhalwako ngaye, kepha tonkhe tento takhe makube nguletilungile atame kuphila "ngemtsetfo weligolide", ente loko kulabanye naye loku layokutsandza ana sebakwenta kuye.
BUNGCWELE: (Titu 1:8) Umuntfu longcwele ngeliciniso akahambi ebanga kwekutsi ungcwele, kodvwa utama kuphila ngephasi kwaNkhulunkhulu lilanga nelilanga. Nkhulunkhulu ulindzele kwekutsi wonkhe emaKrestu afune kubangcwele kuko konkhe kwenta kwakhe.
KUTIPHATSA: (Titu 1:8) Ligosa kumele lingabi ngumuntfu lodzakwako nobe lonesimo lesingcolile ebuntfwini bayo. Kumele likwati kutiphatsa nasekutitsibeni ngato tonkhe tikhatsi, futsi abesibonelo sebuKrestu kulabanye.
LOFUNDZISAKO: (1 Timotewu 3:2) Enhlosweni lenkhulu sibekelwe kufundzisa labanye. Kufundzisa kuyincenye lebalulekile emasontfweni lesikuwo. Ligosa kufanele likwati kuhlelela embili sifundvo lesilandzelako selisontfo. Lomunye kumele afundzise bantfwana. Lomunye futsi kumele afundzise emaKrestu lamasha kwekutsi kumele enteni. Ngisho nemaKrestu lamadzala imbala kumele afundziswe ngemigomo lokumele ayilandzele eNkhosini. Ligosa-ke lona kumele libuke kwekutsi konkhe loku kuhamba kahle na.
ANGABI YIMFUNDZAMAKHWELA: (1 Timotewu 3:7) Ligosa akumele kutsi kube ngumuntfu losafika ebuKrestwini. Akudzingeki kwekutsi kube ngumuntfu lomdzala ngeminyaka, kepha amusha esontfweni!

SIMO LESIHLE: (1 Thimotewu 3:7) Ana umuntfu anato tonkhe letitidzingo, lokunye kumele abeneligama lelihle, kodvwa kusidzingo seligosa kwekutsi licabange ngalabo labangekho esontfweni lakhe. Ebantfu labangubomakhelwane nobe bosomabhizinisi kufanele bamtsatse njengeMkrestu sibili, umuntfu labangametsemba njalo. Ana ebantfu labangeko esontfweni bangeke bacabange kwekutsi ungumuntfu lolungile, lisontfo angeke lakwati kumbeka njengeligosa. Kukhona lokungalungile ngaye.
3. Lisontfo kumele likhetse emagosa laceceshiwe, bese kuyalandzelwa kuhola kwawo.
Lamanye emasontfo aye akhetse emagosa awo njalo ngemnyaka kutsi emakhadi abo atsatsa umnyaka munye. Kubalulekile kwekutsi kukhetfwe lababantfu te kugcwaliseke imiBhalo ngekuceceshwa kwabo. Lisontfo kumele litsatse lesisifundvo salenancwadzi embikwekutsi lukhetfo lutsatfwe.
Yonkhe imibhalo lechaza ngemagosa, ibuye itsi kungakhetfwa langetulu kwamunye lisontfo nelisontfo. Kepha imibhalo yona ayikubeki ngembaba kwekutsi kumele kube neligosa linye lisontfo nelisontfo, ngakho-ke lisontfo lingaba neligonsa kumbe mabili nobe mangakhi, nobe ngabe yinhlangano lencane lesemapulazini nobe elokishini.
Ekukhetseni lababantfu, lisontfo kumele licikelele ekukhetseni umuntfu loceceshekile. Njengekunotsa, imfundvo, agcoke kahle nobe yini lebalulekile ngekweliciniso. Imibhalo yona ayisho loku njengetifundvo. Lokubalulekile kakhulu ngumoya longcwele nekucecesha lokutsite caca.
Ana lababantfu sebekhetsiwwe wabekwa emahovisini elisontfo, kumele bavunyelwe kwekutsi bahole lisontfo ngokwemoya. Kungumgomo wabo kwekutsi bachube ngekukamoya longcwele welisontfo, futsi babe ngebaholi labagcwele benhlanganyelo, babe ngebelusi bemhlambi. Nkhulunkhulu wabeka kwekutsi emagosa ahole ebantfu bakhe. Kulidvumo lelikhulu nemgomo kukhetfwa njengeligosa lelisontfo. EmaKrestu ayafundziswa ngokwemibhalo inhlonipho kumele ibonakale kumagosa. Pawula wabhala watsi encwadzini yakhe leya ku Timotewu, "Ningamsoli, kepha mtsatseni njengababe."
4. Emagosa anemsebenti lomnyenti lokumele awente esontfweni.
Emagosa, langebaholi kumele abonise sibonelo lesihle sebuKrestu te kutewuba nekutfula esontfweni. Njalo lisontfo kumele likhetse ebantfu labangaba ngemagosa labayoba sibonelo lesihle. Emagosa kumele njalo abesesontfweni. Kumele babone kwekutsi litafula leNkhosi libekwa ngendlelal lengiyo na kubantfu, khona kutewuba nesiciniseko sekutsi liyabekwa yini livangeli ngendlela lelingiyo nobe cha. Ana livangeli lingabekeki ngendlela, emagosa kumele abonise emalunga kwekutsi kunembiko lovela eLivini laNkhulunkhulu. Lisontfo lingashiyeka lingasenabo buvangeli, kodvwa kumele libe nemagosa latsembekile te ahole ebantfu.
Emagosa kumele avikele lisonttfo kubefundisi bemanga nakubavangeli. Bugosa bumele lisontfo ebuvangelini te kugcwaliseke lipulpeti. Kumele babeneliciniso lekutsi umuntfu labamkhetsako ukulungele yini kwelisontfo, nekutsi ulijaha lelibutsandzako buKrestu nekutsi utawufundzisa ngeliciniso livi laNkhulunkhulu. Kumele babone kwekutsi ente setsembiso sekuphatsa kahle libandla, futsibente nesivumelwane neligosa sekutsi liyohola malini futsi njani. Kufanele kube ngumgomo wabo embikwa Nkhulunkhulu kubona lesisivumelwane sigcinekile yini. Kumele batibophetele emfundzisweni yakhe nasekuchubeni kwakhe livangeli. Emvakwekuba sebambite ngemvangeli, batfole kwekutsi akamukeleki, kumele bamtjele afune lelinye libandla ayewusebenta kulo. Uma atfolwa anelicala lekutsi akenti umsebenti wakhe webuKrestu, nekutsi ufundzisa lokungesilo liciniso ngeliBhayibheli, kumele atjelwe ashiye ngekushesha. Emagosa kungumgomo wawo kutsi angaholeli lisontfo ekudzeni neNkhosi ngetimfundziso takhe netibonelo.
Kuwo onkhe emasontfo, kunalabo labaye babuyele emuva etonweni. Lena yindzaba lenkhulu. Encwadzini yamaHeberu sifundza kutsi, "Ngobe angeke kwenteke kwekutsi labo lasebeke bakhanyiswa banambitsa siphiwo sasezulwini, bentiwa ebahlanganyeli kuMoya loNgcwele. Banambitsa livi lelihle leNkhosi nemandla elive lelitako. Babuye bahlubuke-angeke kwenteke babuye bavuswe, bagucuke, ngobe sebatibetselela iNdvodzana yaNkhulunkhulu, bayitsela ngelihlazo." (KumaHeberu 6:4-6) Njen gebelusi, kumele bahambe emvakwetimvu te tingenokulahleka kuletinye, kanjalo-ke nemagosa kumele ahambe emvakwema-kholwa te angenawulahleka esontfweni awele ebumnyameni besono. Emagosa abophetelekile emhlambini welisontfo. Kumele abenelutsandvo, afune nekuletsa labahlubukile eNkhosini.
SAHLUKO SESINE
EBADIKONI
1. Umsebenti wemdikoni uchazwe ngelibito.
Sisebentise ligama lelitsi "umvangeli" kulelibhuku ana sifuna kwendlulela emsebentini wemfundisi. Kungoba leligama "umdikoni" lichaza kwekutsi sisebenti nobe umfundisi. Umdikoni usisebenti nobe umfundisi welisontfo ana sisebentisa umtsetfo weliBhayibheli. Umsebenti wemdikoni uyincenye lenkhulu esontfweni ngobe nemagosa ngulapho atsembela khona ana angekho.
2. Libhayibheli lisinika ticu temdikoni.
Encwadzini yekucala yaPawula layibhalela Timotewu, sahluko sesitsatfu, livesi 8-12, sifundza ngetimfanelo lokumele abenatoemadikoni. kumele kube selicophelweni lelisetulu
EMATHUNENI: (1 Timotewu 3:8) Umdikoni kumele atsatse umsebenti weNkhosi ngekutimisela. Kumele umsebenti welisontfo kube ngiwo lawuhlunga kucala te abeneliciniso lekutsi wentiwa kahle na.

ABENGULOWATIWAKO: (1 Timotewu 3:13) Umdikoni kufanele kube nguMkrestu lowatiwa njengemuntfu lotsembekile. Kumele kungabi ngumunffu lomusha esontfweni naseNkhosini.
ANGABI NESICI: (1 Timotewu 3:10) Kubalulekile kwekutsi umdikoni acatjangelwe kahle ngulabo labangasiwo emaKrestu, kuye kwedlulele nakugosa, ngobe babukwe ngebantfu labangaphandle kwelisontfo. Lisontfo litawuhlulelwa ngesimanga sabo.
INDVODZA LENEMFATI: (1 Timotewu 3:12) Ayikho indvodza lenguMkrestu lokumele ibenebafati labengca kumunye, ngale kwaloko kuyobe aka tsembekile kumkayo. Ebaholi belisontfo kumele babesibonelo kulamanye emaKrestu ngaloku.
BAFUNDZISE BANTFWANA BABO KAHLE: (1 Timotewu 3:12) Umdikoni kumele ahole umndeni wakhe kahle te utowuba ngema Krestu latsembekile. Umndeni wakhe kumele ube sibonelo esontfweni.
3. Umsebenti webadikoni lokumele awente esontfweni.
Kungumgomo lomkhulu webadikoni kwekutsi abambele emagosa emsebentini wabo esontfweni. Makesicabange kutsi konje kungaba ngumsebenti muni labangawenta te kugcwaliseke loku.
Ebadikoni kumele banakelele tonkhe tinhlelo tetimali telisontfo. Kumele babone kwekutsi sakhiwo selisontfo sihlala sichitjelwe yini, nekutsi tintfo letisitako tikhokhelwe kahle na, nekutsi intsela ikhokhiwe na, nekutsi buvangeli bukhokhelwe na. Kungaba kuhle ana umgcinisikhwama namabhalane belisontfo kungebadikoni. Lisontfo nelisontfo kumele lente sivumelwane nebuvangeli sekutsi angatfola malini liholo inyanga nenyanga, ebadikoni kumele bente siciniseko sekutsi uholelwe njengobe kubekiwe. Ebadikoni kumele bahlangane njalo nje te bacwaninge umbiko wemgcini timali, inzuzo yelisontfo ngokweshumi nangeminikelo yemalungu alo, kanjalo nangetindleko. Ngekucophelela imibhalo leyo iyogcinwa te kwatiwe ngato tonkhe timali telisontfo. Lababantfu bayobeka sibonelo lesihle ngekunikela kwabo kweshumi neminikelo eNkhosini.
Mabhalane welisontfo kungaba ngumdikoni kumbe ligosa. Kumele agcine ngalokuphele emarekhodi alabolababhapatiswako nalabo labayekelako esontfweni. Kumele abhale bonke lesebashonile kanjalo nalabo labashintjela kuletinye tindzawo, abuke nekutsi emagama abo ayesulwa yini eluhlwini lemibhalo yakhe.
4. Lisontfo lingakhetsa nakulabasikati ebadikonikati.
Ku 1 Timotewu 3:11, sifundza kutsi, "Ngalokunjalo nalabasikati mababe nesizotha, bangahlebi, labatitsibayo, labatsembekako etintfweni tonkhe." KubaseRoma 16:1, kunendzaba lefanako ya Febe naye lowake waba ngumdikonikati welisontfo laseRoma. Wabe asisebenti selisontfo.
Labafati kumele bente lokunengi lokuhlanganisa "Nemkhuleko wabomake" esontfweni. Kumele babone kugezwa kwetakhiwo telisontfo, kumele babone kwekutsi tintfo tesidlo lesiNgcwele tilungile yini ekubeni tingasetjentiswa etafuleni leNkhosi ngelilanga lelo leNkhosi. Bangasita ekufundziseni ngesikolo sangelisontfo, bente timvuselelo kulabamphofu nalabaswele, nakulabo labagulako esontfweni, bakhulekele bonkhe. Kuntintfo letinengi labangatenta letinhle labasikati emasontfweni.

UMVANGELI
1. Leliligama lichazeka etukwemsebenti lowentiwe ngumvangeli.
Lomunye eve kwekutsi umvangeli ngumfundisi, kodvwa umsebenti wakhe awunganga wemfundisi ekuhambiseni livangeli. Emagosa nebadikoni ngebafundisi.
2. Tindzingeko temvangeli.
Alikho luhlu lwetidzingeko temvangeli letitfolakala eBhayibhelini, kodvwa kumele sicabange kwekutsi ngeke babe ngephasi kakhulu kuleti tebadikoni, nemagosa. Stefane wabe angumvangeli abuye abengumdikoni, njengaFilipu. Kusuka ekhatsi kwemagosa nebadikoni kwekutsi kubekhona ebavangeli. Lababantfu kumele bahambe sikolo sekucecesha te baceceshelwe kuhambisa livi leNkhosi.
3. Umsebenti wemvangeli.
Kungumsebenti wemvangeli kwekutsi ashumayele futsi afundzise livangeli laKrestu. Kumele anikete sonkhe sikhatsi sakhe emsebentini wakhe, ngako-ke lisontfo kumele lente sivumelwane naye sekutsi batewumholela liholo lelingakanani te akwati kubukana netidzingo temndeni wakhe, nekukhokhela tidzingo tendlu leyo lahlala kuyo. Uma singafundza kube-1 baseKorinte 9 na 1 Thimotewu 5, sitawubona iNkhosi ichaza kutsi kumele sondle ebavangeli. Umvangeli kumele asungule tikhungo letinsha tekushumayelela livangeli telisontfo nebadikoni nemagosa bangamsita ngekutsi babuke letitinhlanganyelo tibanjwa ngalokungiko kanjalo nesidlo lesiNgcwele. Umvangeli kumele avakashele leti tikhungo te acinisekise kwekutsi umsebenti uhamba kahle. Ana sekunemagatja lamanyeti elivangeli, emagosa nebadikoni kumele bavakashele njalo ngeliviki, bese kutsi lawamacembu ahlukaniswe, bese kuba nemvangeli lomusha atewulekelela.
Kushumayela livangeli kungukubitwa, akusiko buciko. Kungumsebenti weNkhosi, hhayi sikhundla lesiphakeme. Okhololo, timphahla letimnyama, tintsambo letindze, nalokunye nje lokufute loku, akuhambisani nemtsetfo weliTestamente leliiSha lokulibandla laKrestu. Ebavangeli beliciniso abenti nje lomsebenti te badvunyiswe ngebantfu. Bawenta lomsebenti ngobe bentela iNkhosi. Leligama lelitsi "umfundisi" silitfola kanye eBhayibhelini, lisetjentiswa nguNkhulunkhulu, hhayi ebantfu nje (EmaHubo 111:9)
Umsebenti wemvangeli ngukushumayela livangeli, afundzise, asebentele kuwina emalungu lamasha kuKrestu, nekusungula tikhungo letinsha telisontfo, nekutsi njalo abesibonelo lesihle kumaKrestu. Umngcwabo ulitfuba lelikhulu lekufinyelela kubantfulabangemange sebake balive livangeli nekuvuselela insindziso yabo. Kusikhatsi lapho ebantfu bacabanga ngemphilo emvakwekufa, nekutsi bangatilungiselela njani embikwekufa. Lisontfo kumele limhloniphe umvangeli nangemsebenti wakhe, hhayi nje ngobe engumvangeli.
SAHLUKO SESITFUPHA
IMISEBENTI YELISONTFO
Kunemisebenti leminengi yelisontfo lengekho kodvwa eliBhayibhelini, kepha leyisivumelwane netimfundziso teliBhayibheli. Leto tinhle futsi kumele tichutjwe ngendlela yebuKrestu.
1. Lisontfo sikolo.
Lokunye lokubalulekile kuloku ngumsebenti welisontfosikolo Selibandla. Ligosa ngilo kanye lokumele likwente loku, nobeke tifundvo tingachutjwa ngulolilungu leligcwele lasesontfweni.
Kumele kube netifundvo njalo ngelilanga leNkhosi, njengakusontfosikolo kumalungu akusasa elisontfo. Kumele bafundziswe kutsanda iNkhosi nekuyibeka embili kuko konkhe. Iminikelo yeliSontfosikolo kumele yendluliselwe kumgcinisikhwa ma te batsengelwe nobe yini lokubonakele kwekutsi bayashoda ngakoo, njengemashoki, tintfo tekufundzisa, libhodi lekubhalela, emabhuku kanye nemaphepha.
2. Umhlangano walabasikati:
Umhlangano walabasikati yinhlanganyelo yemkhuleko, kumanyana, nekufundza liBhayibheli. Njengobe laba besimame baye bawente njeumsebenti webudikonikati, umhlangano wabo unesidzingo lesikhulu esontfweni.
3. Kuceceshwa kwalabasha nemalungu lamasha.
Lisontfo nelisontfo kumele libe nesikhatsi lapho litewucecesha khona ebantfu labasha nemalunga lafikako ngeliBhayibheli. LiBhayibheli litsi, ana ebantfu sebebhapatisiwe kuKrestu, kumele sichubeke nekubafundzisa.
Lonamhlangano kumele ubenesikhatsi semkhuleko nekufundza. Labanyenti kulelicembu bangaba ngemaKrestu, ana basengakabi ngiwo ngalokugcwele.
4. Likhwaya.
Ebantfu labasha kumele babengemalungu elikhwaya, kungaba kuhle kwekutsi kubanjwe lenamicimbi busku bunye, ilandzelane. Likhwaya kumele libe ngephasi kwebuholi bemuntfu longcono. Kungalungiselwa tikhatsi letisipesheli teliLanga leNkhosi.
5. Umhlangano welibandla.
Umhlangano wemnyaka welisontfo, ubuye watiwe ngekutsi yinkomfa, sikhatsi sekuhlanganyela, kukhuleka, nekukhonta. Akusiso sikhatsi sekubeka imitsetfo yelisontfo nobe kucatulula tinkhinga telisontfo. Leto tinkhinga tingacatululwa lisontfo lendzawo, hhayi inkomfa. Ebakhulumi labaselizingeni lelisetulu nemculo bangasetjentiswa kulonambutfwano, bese kubusiswa wonke lofikile lapho.
Nobe ngabe nguliphi libandla laKrestu lingahlanganyela kulonambutfwano, kuphela nje ana asebentisana ngekuvana nalamanye emasontfo futsi uma loko kwemukelekile.
Ngenhloso yekukhetsa titfunywa tembutfwano, libandla ngelibandla livumelekile kutfumela titfunywa letimbili tiyomelela. Uma kulibandla lelikhulu, kungengetwa linani letitfunywa nobe tisihlanu tilungile.
6. Tindzawo tekushumayela nemihlangano yemakwata.
Emasontfo lamanyenti lasondzelene, nobe labanjwe ngumvangeli munye, anemihlangano yendzawo, mhlawumbe emvakwetinyanga letintsatfu. Lena mihlangano ingabanjelwa kulelinye lemasontfo endzawo. Benta inhloso yekuhlanganyela bakhonte, alikho libhizinisi kuloko.
7. Tikolo tekuceceshela libhayibheli.
Onke emasontfo kumele bonkhe bavangeli babo kumelebaceceshwe esikolweni seliBhayibheli lesisungulelwe loko. Tidzingo letifunekako kumuntfu ana afuna kungena kulesisikolo ticinisekiswe kakhulu te kutewuhlanagatjetwana netidzingo. Kuhle phela kwekutsi libandla litikhetsele lona umvangeli longumuntfu loceceshekile waba nelwati lekwenta umsebenti kancono kuleso sikolo. Ebantfu labaceceshekile, banelwati lolutsite caca, bangenta umsebenti kahle banotse ngeliholo lelisetulu.
Nobe nje sichuba tifundvo teliBhayibheli ngeliposi nje, emvakwaleto tifundvo, lwati lolunye kumele lutfolakale esikolweni ngalokugcwele. Ana umuntfu aceceshwa njengemvangeli, kumele akwati kuphonsa imibuto ana ikhona kumceceshi wakhe, futsi atfole timphendvulo leticondzile, kumele abenelicoco letincwadzi, nalokunye nje kwesikolo. Asikwati kukuchubekisela embili ngeliposi.

TIMALI
1. Indlela umKrestu lasebentisa ngayo imali isemcoka.
UmKrestu eliTestamenteni lakhe LeliSha uchazwa njengelibamba. Loku kusho kutsi konkhe lesinako asiko kwetfu. Konkhe lesinako ngekwaBkhulunkhulu, futsi ulindzele kwekutsi sikusebentise ngendlela leyomjabulisa yena. (Luka 16:1-8, 19:11-28). EmaKrestu ngeke aletse incenye yemali enzuzweni yawo, kutsi lesele alindzele kuyisebentisa nobe kanjani ngendlela labafisa ngayo. Ingani natsi singebakaNkhulunkhulu. Asikatiphatsi. Akumele lenamali lesele siyisebentisele njengasetjwaleni, ligwayi, kugembula, nobe yini nje lokusono. Leyoncenye lesele solo ngeyaNkhuluunkhulu, uyasiyala kwekutsi siyisebentisele tidzingo temindeni yetfu. Kumele sente konkhe te sijabulise Nkhulunkhulu.
Libhayibheli njalo lisifundzisa kwekutsi lokungenani kumele sinikele ngekwelishumi emalini lesiyiholako. Loku kubitwa ngekutsiwa ngekweshumi. (Gen. 28:22; Ne h. 10:37,38; Malaki 3:8-10). EmaJuda nawo kwabe kudzingekile kwekutsi akhokhe kweshumi eNkhosini. Tsine-ke lesinaKrestu, sinesikweletu lesikhulu eNkhosini kunemaJuda. Nkhulunkhulu uyetsembisa kubusisa labo betfu labamutfobelako kuloku. Kumele simuphe Nkhulunkhulu ngelisontfo kuluoku lesikuzuzako. Angeke simuphe nje emapenyana bese kuye silindzela tibusiso letinkhulu. Encwadzini yaMalaki labo labatama kwenta loku ubabita ngekutsi "tigebengu". (Malaki 3:8).
Sifundza ku-2 Korinte 8:4 na ku Misebenti 2:42 ngemisebenti yebudlelwano ndzawonye ekukhonteni. Loku akusibo budlelwane ekukhulekeni, kodvwa budlelwane ekuphaneni eNkhosini.
Konkhe kupha kwetfu kwabe kungobe sinelutsandvo eNkhosini. Nkhulunkhulu utsandza labanesihe sekupha. Ngalenandlela sinelilungelo lekuba simbonge ngekupha.
2. Kuphela indlela Nkhulunkhulu lapha ngayo kuchaswa libandla ngetipho tebuKrestu.
Nkhulunkhulu akasho-ke kutsi sihambe singena umnyango nemnyango sibutsa timali telisontfo. Kungemahloni kwekutsi libandla libutse timali kubantfu labange siwona emakholwa te kumiswe umsebenti welisontfo. Akumele sibhadale imisebenti ye Nkhosi ngekutfola imali kumakhonsati, nobe ngungayiphi indlela yekucoca imali. Ana emaKrestu enta loku lokulungile ebusweni baNkhulunkhulu, kuyoba nemali lenyenti te kutewubhadaleka tonkhe tindleko telisontfo.
3. Iminikelo yelisontfo kulifa laNkhulunkhulu.
Ebadikoni banalo lilungelo lekusebentisa lenamali njengesikhwama seNkhosi. Lokusho kutsi kungatsengwa tintfo letidzingekato telisontfo, nekukhokhela liholo lemvangeli, netindlela tekuhambisela labanye livangeli. Liholo lekuvunyelenwe ngalo kumele liphume njalo ngeliviki, sikweletu semanti nagesi kumele naso sikhokhelwe, irenti yesakhiwo selisontfo kumele kukhokhwe kanjalo naletinye tindleko telisontfo nobe telisontfo sikolo. Lisontfo futsi kumele libeke eceleni samba lesitsite te sitfunyelwe esikolweni seliBhayibheli te kuceceshwe ebavangeli, kanjalo nesikhwama sebuvangeli nesesakhiwo te kumiswe umsebenti weNkhosi kuleminye imiphakatsi.
4. Lisontfo kumele libenesipesheli sesikhwama sesakhiwo.
Lisontfo nelisontfo line-akhawunti yekonga te banakekele sakhiwo selisontfo. Lenamali ingasetjentiswa kuphela ekulungiseni sakhiwo nobe ekwakhiweni kwesakhiwo lesisha nobe indlu yemishini. Ngako-ke iminikelo ingasetjentiselwa lesisikhwama.
SEHLUKO SESIPHOHLONGA
KUSONTSA
1.Umsebenti wekusontsa kumele uhlelwe ngenhlonipho yeNkhosi.
Lawomalungiselelo bakentiwa lingakangeni lisontfo, kubukwe nekutsi kungasetjentiswa maphi emaculo, bese ayakhetfwa, nekutsi lomunye acelwe kwekutsi ahole ngemkhuleko, nekutsi sidlo seNkhosi sendluliselwa kahle na. Yonkhe imisebenti kumele ihambe ngelusiko.
2. Sikhatsi sesidlo senkhosi sikhatsi lesisipesheli.
Labasikati kumele bafake tindvwangu, etafuleni bagcwalise titja tetinkhwa nemakomishi embikwekutsi umsebenti ucale. Kumele kube netinkhomishi letenele te kube nguloyo naloyo abeneyakhe, luju lwemagilebisi lokumele lufakwe kahle emabhodleleni lamancane, kumele kulungiswe kahle kutfululelwe ejekeni te kutewutfolakala malula ana sekusetjentiswa. Kumele kube nemacebelengwane lenele ana sekucalwa umsebenti. Ana kungatsengwangwa luju lwemagilebi, jamu wemagilebisi ungahlanganiswa nemanti kwentiwe luju. Sesisho-ke emadolobheni lamancane.
3. Lubhabhadiso lusikhatsi lesingcwele kuMkrestu lomusha.
Loyomuntfu kumele asikhumbule ngenjabulo leso sikhatsi labhaphapathiswa ngaso. Kumele kube nekufundvwa kwemibhalo, umkhuleko, nekubhapathiswa, mhlawumbe nekuculwa kwemaculo. Emagosa kumele abeneliciniso lekutsi emanti anele. Kumele lawomanti ahlolisiswe kahle. Esitibeni kubalulekile kwekutsi umuntfu ahlole kushona kwaso, nekutsi asishoni kakhulu na. Loyo lobhapathiswako kumele afakwe alaliswe aze afike esihlabatsini, bese masinyane uyaphakanyiswa, bese usulwa ngengubo, agcokiswe timphahla letomile.
4. Sitifiketi sekubhapatizwa kumele siphume masinyane emvakwekubhapatizwa.
Ngekushesha lokungahle kwenteke emvakwekubhapatiswa, mabhalane welisontfo kumele alungise sitifiketi nayo yonke imininingwane, bese siniketwa uMkrestu lomusha esontfweni. Akumele sibitwe imali, nobe silahlekile. Ebatali kumele bente njalo makubantfwana babo babengemaKrestu latsembekile ana sebekhulile.
