Isibhalo-Ukuthetha Ngayo Yonke Inkalipho

Kwaye ngoku, Nkosi, qaphela izoyikiso zabo, wenze abakhonzi bakho ukuba balithethe ilizwi lakho ngenkalipho, xa usolula isandla sakho ukuba uphilise, kwaye imiqondiso nemimangaliso iyenziwa ngegama lomkhonzi wakho oyingcwele uYesu. Bathandaza, kwashukuma indawo ababehlanganisene kuyo, bazaliswa bonke nguMoya oyiNgcwele, baqhubeka belithetha ilizwi likaThixo ngokungafihlisiyo. (IZenzo 4: 29-31; namhlanje UkuFunda kweMisa yokuqala(Epreli 12th, 2021)

Emuva ngala mhla ndandidla ngokushumayela kwizihlwele ngeziqu zam, ndandidla ngokufunda le vesi ndize emva koko ndibabuze, "Ngoku, ibisisiphi esi siganeko?" Ngokuqinisekileyo, abaliqela babeya kuphendula bathi: “IPentekoste!” Kodwa xa ndibaxelela ukuba bayaphazama, igumbi liza kuthula. Ndiza kuchaza ukuba iPentekoste yayizahluko ezibini ngaphambili. Kwaye okwangoku, siyifunda loo nto kwakhona "Bazaliswa bonke nguMoya oyiNgcwele."

Inqaku yile. Ubhaptizo kunye noQinisekiso kuphela isiqalo Ukuzaliswa kukaThixo nguMoya oyiNgcwele kubomi bekholwa. INkosi ingasigcwalisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo-ukuba simmema ukuba enze njalo. Ngapha koko, ukuba 'sizizitya zodongwe' njengoko watshoyo uSt.^[1]I-2 Cor 4: 7 ke singabo ukuvuza izitya ezidinga ubabalo lukaThixo ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Yiyo le nto uYesu wathi ngokucacileyo:

Mna ndingumdiliya, nina ningamasebe. Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. (UJohn 15: 5)

Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko isibhalo sithi: 'Imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo iya kumpompoza iphuma embilinini wakhe.' Oku wakutsho ngokubhekisa kuMoya, ukuba abo bakholwayo kuye bazakwamkelwa. (UYohane 7: 38-39)

Kodwa kwakamsinya nje ukuba sikhuphe umdiliya, "incindi yoMoya oyiNgcwele" iyayeka ukuhamba, kwaye ukuba sishiya ubomi bethu bokomoya bungakhathalelwanga, sizibeka emngciphekweni wokuba sisebe "elifileyo". 

Nabani na ongahlali kum uya kuphoswa ngaphandle njengesebe aze abune; abantu baya kubaqokelela baziphose emlilweni kwaye ziya kutshiswa. (UJohn 15: 6)

The IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika uyafundisa:

Umthandazo bubomi bentliziyo entsha. Kuya kufuneka ukuba siphile ngalo lonke ixesha. Kodwa sihlala simlibala obubomi bethu kunye nakho konke. Yiyo loo nto ooTata bempilo yokomoya kwizithethe zeDuteronomi kunye nesiprofetho banyanzelisa ukuba umthandazo sisikhumbuzo sikaThixo esivame ukuvuswa yinkumbulo yentliziyo "Simele simkhumbule uThixo rhoqo kunokuba siphefumla." Kodwa asinako ukuthandaza “ngamaxesha onke” ukuba asithandazi ngamaxesha athile, siyazi ukuba la ngamaxesha awodwa omthandazo wamaKrestu, omabini amandla nobude bexesha. —N. 2697

Ke, ukuba asinabomi bomthandazo, "intliziyo entsha" esiyinikiweyo kubhaptizo iqala ukufa. Ngelixa sinokubonakala siphumelele kwihlabathi ngokubhekisele kubomi bethu bomzimba, ikhondo lomsebenzi, iwonga, ubutyebi, njl. : "Isiqhamo sikaMoya luthando, uvuyo, uxolo, ukuzeka kade umsindo, ububele, isisa, ukuthembeka, ubulali, ukuzeyisa." (Gal 5:22) Musani ukukhohliswa! Oku kuyakuphela ngokwaphukelwa yinqanawa komphefumlo ongakhathaliyo nongaguqukanga-nokuba babhaptiziwe.

Musa ukwenza impazamo: UThixo akahlekiswa, kuba umntu uya kuvuna kuphela into ayihlwayelayo, kuba lowo uhlwayelela inyama yakhe uya kuvuna ukonakala ngokwenyama, kodwa lowo uhlwayelela umoya uya kuvuna ubomi obungunaphakade kumoya. (Gal 6: 7-8)

Ndingathanda ukongeza esinye isiqhamo esinye: sibindi. Ukusuka kolunye usuku ukuya kolandelayo, yayiyiPentekoste eyatshintsha abaPostile ekubeni ngabantu aboyikisayo baba ngabafel 'ukholo. Ukusuka kwiyure enye ukuya kwelandelayo, basuka kubafundi abathandabuzayo baya kumangqina akhaliphileyo athetha iGama elingcwele likaYesu emngciphekweni wokuphulukana nobomi babo.^[2]cf. Inkalipho kwiNkqwithela

Ukuba likho ixesha apho kuye kwafuneka singene kwigumbi eliphezulu kwakhona, kungoku. Ukuba kuye kwakho ixesha lokuyicenga iNkosi ukuba "iqaphele izoyikiso zabo" ukuba zivale iicawe zethu, sithule indumiso yethu, sivale iminyango yethu kwaye sivale iindonga zethu, kungoku. Ukuba kuye kwakho ixesha lokucela ukuba uThixo asenze sikwazi ukuthetha ngesibindi ngenyaniso kwihlabathi elibhukuda ngobuxoki nenkohliso, kungoku. Ukuba kukho imfuneko yokuba iNkosi isolule isandla sayo ngemiqondiso nemimangaliso kwisizukulwana esikhonzayo inzululwazi kwaye sizathu ndedwa, kungoku. Ukuba kuye kwakho isidingo sokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele wehle phezu kwabathembekileyo ukuze asishukumise kukungakhathali, uloyiko kunye nehlabathi, kunjalo ngoku. 

Kungenxa yesi sizathu le nto uMama wethu ethunyelwe kwesi sizukulwana: ukubaqokelela kwakhona kwigumbi eliphezulu leNtliziyo yakhe engafezekanga, kwaye abenze ngendlela efanayo nentando kaThixo awayenayo ukuze uMoya oyiNgcwele eze kuthi kwaye Sigubungele nathi, ngamandla aKhe.^[3]Luke 1: 35

… Zinkulu kakhulu iimfuno kunye neengozi zeli xesha langoku,
bukhulu kakhulu ubume boluntu obutsalelekileyo
ukuhlalisana kwehlabathi kwaye akunamandla okukufezekisa,
ukuba akukho lusindiso kuyo ngaphandle kwe
ukuthululwa okutsha kwesipho sikaThixo.
Makhe eze, uMoya oDalayo,
Ukuhlaziya ubuso bomhlaba!

UMoya oyiNgcwele, ukufumana iqabane lakhe elithandekayo likhona kwakhona emphefumlweni,
kwaye uya kuhla kubo ngamandla amakhulu.
Uya kubazalisa ngezipho zakhe, ngakumbi ubulumko,
abaya kuthi ngayo bavelise imimangaliso yobabalo…
ukuba ubudala bukaMariya, xa imiphefumlo emininzi, ikhethwe nguMariya
kwaye yamnikwa nguThixo Osenyangweni,
bazifihle ngokupheleleyo kwinzulu yomphefumlo wakhe,
ukuba iikopi zakhe, zimthanda kwaye zimzukise uYesu.  
—St. ULouis de Montfort, Ukuzinikela kwenene kwiNtombikazi eNyulu, n. 217 

Vuleleka kuKristu, wamkele uMoya,
ukuze iPentekoste entsha yenzeke kuluntu lonke! 
Ubuntu obutsha, obonwabileyo, buya kuvela phakathi kwakho;
Uya kuphinda ube namava okusindisa kweNkosi.
