USibusiso wabhapathizwa kuMoya oNgcwele eminyakeni emithathu edlule, emsebenzini wentsha. Wakhuluma ngezilimi, wakhala, wezwa amandla kaNkulunkulu. Kwamkhombisa. Kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ilangabi lehla. Umthandazo ngezilimi waba yinto engavamile, isibindi saba yinamahloni futhi, ubuciko bomoya baphola. Kwaze kwathi wezwa engqungqutheleni: 'Ubhapathizo kuMoya yisango, hhayi isiphetho. Ungene ngesango — kodwa uyahamba yini endlini?' USibusiso waqonda: wayemile esangweni. Kwasekuyisikhathi sokuhlola konke uMoya afuna ukukwenza.

EZisekelweni, safunda ukuthi ubhapathizo kuMoya oNgcwele kuyini — ukuhlangenwe nakho kokugqokiswa amandla nobufakazi bokuqala bokukhuluma ngezilimi. Manje siya ngaphaya: kusho ukuthini ukuphila ugcwele uMoya nsuku zonke.

Ubhapathizo kuMoya yisigameko. Ukugcwala kukaMoya yindlela yokuphila. UPawulu akasho 'bhapathizwani kanye' — uthi 'gcwaliswani njalonjalo' (Kwabase-Efesu 5:18, ngesiGreki umyalo oqhubekayo). Yinqubo yansuku zonke yokuzinikela nokufuna.

Ukuqhathanisa kukaPawulu kuyaveza: njengoba iwayini lilawula umuntu odakiwe, uMoya kufanele ulawule umKristu ogcwele Nguye. Umehluko: iwayini lisusa ingqondo; uMoya unika ukucaca. Iwayini liyagqilaza; uMoya uyakhulula.

'Ukugcwaliswa nguMoya' akuyikho ukuhlangenwe nakho okungokwesimangaliso kuphela — ukuphila ngaphansi kwethonya likaMoya kuzo zonke izinqumo, zonke izingxoxo, zonke izinselele. Ukubuza njalo: 'Moya, yini oyifunayo lapha?'

UPawulu wenza umehluko: ukuphila ngoMoya (isikhundla — wonke umKristu) nokuhamba ngoMoya (inqubo — isinqumo sansuku zonke). Ungaba noMoya ehlala kuwe kodwa ungahambi ngaphansi kwesiqondiso sakhe.

Ukuhamba kuMoya: ukulalela izwi lakhe eZwini nasemthandazweni, ukulalela izifiso zakhe (ukuthanda labo abanzima, ukukhuluma uma kuyisikhathi, ukuthula uma kudingekile), ukukhulisa isithelo sakhe nokuphatha izipho zakhe. Ukuphila okungaphezu kwemvelo okuphilwa kokwemvelo.

Izimpawu zokuphila okugcwele uMoya Bonisa

Ungazi kanjani uma ngiphila ngigcwele uMoya? UPawulu uphendula esimweni sabase-Efesu 5:18-21:

1. Ukukhonza — 'nikhulumisana ngamahubo, amaculo nezihlabelelo zikaMoya' (v.19). Ogcwele uMoya unokukhonza njengendlela yokuphila, hhayi enkonzweni kuphela.

2. Ukubonga — 'nibonga njalo ngakho konke' (v.20). Ukuphila okugcwele uMoya kukhiqiza ukubonga okuqhubekayo, noma ebunzimeni.

3. Ukuzithoba okuvamile — 'nizithoba omunye komunye' (v.21). UMoya ukhiqiza ukuthobeka nokukulungela ukukhonza.

Ezinye izimpawu: isibindi sokufakaza (IzEnzo 4:31), ubuciko ezwini likaNkulunkulu (uJohane 16:13), uthando olukhulayo (KwabaseRoma 5:5), amandla phezu kwesono (KwabaseRoma 8:13), izipho zomoya zisebenza (1 KwabaseKorinte 12:7).

Okungesikho isimpawu sokugcwala: ukuthatheka ngemizwa, ukuzikhukhumeza komoya, ukuhlala wedwa, ukudelela iZwi noma ukungatheli izithelo esimilweni.

Laba kwakungabafundi abafanayo ababevele bagcwaliswa eZenzweni 2. Nalapha, eZenzweni 4, bagcwaliswa futhi. Lokhu kuqinisekisa: ukugcwala kukaMoya akuyikho isigameko esisodwa. Kuyavuseleleka. Kuyaphindeka. Kuyadingeka.

Ungafuna futhi kufanele ufune ukugcwaliswa kabusha nguMoya. Hhayi ngoba ulahlekelwe ubhapathizo, kodwa ngoba ukuphila kuyadla — noMoya uyavuselela. Sonke isimo esisha, sonke isinselele esisha yithuba lokucela: 'Ngigcwalise futhi, Nkosi.'

“UMoya oNgcwele awuyikho into engaxakile ekuphileni kobuKristu. Ubalulekile. Ngaphandle kwakhe, siba abenkolo. Ngaye, siba ngofakazi.”

Kuleli sonto

Komfundisi

Inhloso

Julisa ukuqonda kobhapathizo kuMoya oNgcwele ngaphaya kokuhlanganwe nakho kokuqala — ufundisa ngokugcwala okuqhubekayo, ukuphila kuMoya nezimpawu ezisebenzayo zokuphila okugcwele uMoya.

Imibuzo enzima

Uma sengibhapathiziwe, kungani ngingasezwa amandla? Ubhapathizo yisango, ukugcwala yindlela. Isono esingavunywanga, ukuntula umthandazo, ukungalaleli — konke lokhu kunga'cisha' (1 Thes 5:19) noma 'kudabukise' (Ef 4:30) uMoya. Ikhambi ukubuya: vuma, zinikele ucele ukugcwaliswa kabusha.
Ngilahlekelwe isipho sezilimi? Izipho azilahlekelwa (KwabaseRoma 11:29), kodwa zingayeka ukusetshenziswa. Uma uyekile ukuthandaza ngezilimi, qala kabusha. Kungase kubonakale kumangazayo ekuqaleni, kodwa uma uzijwayeza, ukuhamba kuyabuya.
Ukugcwala kukaMoya kungokwabo bonke noma kwabaholi kuphela? Okwabo bonke! Kwabase-Efesu 5:18 kuqondiswe kulo lonke ibandla, hhayi ubuholi kuphela. Wonke umKristu ubizelwe ukuphila egcwele uMoya.
Ngikuhlukanisa kanjani izwi likaMoya nemicabango yami? Izwi likaMoya lihlala livumelana neZwi, likhiqiza ukuthula (hhayi ukukhathazeka), likhomba kuKristu (hhayi ku-ego) futhi liqunisekiswa umphakathi. Ngesikhathi nangokuzijwayeza, ufunda ukuqonda.

Amacebiso angokoqobo

Buza iqembu: 'Unjani umthandazo wakho ngezilimi?' Abaningi bayama emva kobhapathizo. Khuthaza ukuzijwayeza kwansuku zonke.
Hlukanisa: ubhapathizo (isigameko), ukugcwaliswa (ukuvuselela), isithelo (isimilo) nezipho (inkonzo). Zizingxenye ezihlukile zomsebenzi kaMoya.
Uma othile eqenjini engakabhapathizwa, lesi sifundo singavusa isifiso. Lungiselela ukuthandaza ndawonye.
Gwema ukuqhathanisa: 'umuntu othile ugcwele kakhulu kunomunye'. Ukugcwala akuyikho ukuhlela — ukuzinikela komuntu siqu.
