ILISHO LIVELA KUMPOSTOLI

Bathandekayo,

Wamukelekile kulesi sifundo sokuqala mayelana noHlelo lobuPostoli.

Lesi sifundo siyadingeka ngoba okuningi ibandla eliye lakwamukela mayelana nobuholi, nenkonzo, nokubuswa kuye kwakhiwa yisiko, yizinhlangano zamadenomineshini, nokuhlakanipha kwabantu, kunokuba kwakhiwe umBhalo oNgcwele. Kodwa uNkulunkulu akayena umdali wesiyaluyalu. UnguNkulunkulu wokuhleleka, futhi lokho kuhleleka kubonakala kuwo wonke umBhalo oNgcwele, kusukela kuMose, kuya kuKristu, kuze kufike ebandleni leSivumelwano Esisha.

Ukuhleleka kobuPostoli akuyona indlela yezikhundla, yokulawula, noma yokuvelela kwabantu. Kungukuhlelwa kukaNkulunkulu kwaphezulu komzimba wakhe. UNkulunkulu ubeke amalungu emzimbeni njengoba ethanda, enikeza izipho ezahlukene, izinhlobo zenkonzo ezahlukene, nemisebenzi eyahlukene, kodwa konke ngoMoya ofanayo. Lapho lokhu kuhleleka kushaywa indiva, umphumela uba ukudideka, ukuhlukana, ukuqhathanisa, nobuthakathaka ngokomoya. Kodwa lapho ibandla lisebenza ngokuhlelwa nguNkulunkulu, kuba khona ubunye, ukucaca, amandla, nokuvuthwa.

Lesi sifundo siyabaluleka ngoba ibandla kufanele libuyele ekuhlelekeni kukaNkulunkulu. Asikwazi ukwakha ngesiko futhi silindele ukuphelela ngokomoya. Asikwazi ukulandela izindlela zabantu futhi sifinyelele enhlosweni yaphezulu. Abantu bakaNkulunkulu kufanele baqonde ukuthi uliphatha kanjani ibandla lakhe, ukuthi inkonzo isebenza kanjani ngempela, nokuthi yini ayifunayo kulelo nalelo lungu lomzimba kaKristu.

Njengoba ufunda, vumela iZwi likaNkulunkulu libe yisibuko sakho. Vumela uMoya oNgcwele aveze wonke umqondo wamanga, wonke umoya wokuqhathanisa, nakho konke ukumelana nokubusa kukaNkulunkulu. Lokhu akusona nje isifundo ngobuholi. Kungubizo lokuhambisana. Kungubizo lokuvuma uKristu njengeNhloko, lokuhlonipha uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu, nolokwamukela isilinganiso sakho emzimbeni kaKristu.

Uma ibandla lifuna ukukhula lifinyelele ekugcwalekeni kukaKristu, kufanele libuyele esibonelweni uNkulunkulu asimisile. Umkhuleko wami uwukuthi lesi sifundo sivule ukuqonda kwakho, sakhe ukuqiniseka enhliziyweni yakho, futhi sikufikise ekuzithobeni okujulile ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu.

KuKristu,
