Amaphupho abelokhu eyimfihlakalo futhi kunzima ukuqonda yonke iminyaka yobukhona bomuntu. Amasiko amaningi nezimpucuko zikholwe ngokubaluleka kwamaphupho njengendlela yokuxhumana evela kwaphezulu. Ezikhathini zanamuhla, amaphupho ayaqhubeka nokuxakisana futhi asishufikeze, asishiye sinesifiso sokuvelisa izincazelo zazo ezifihliwe. Uma wake wazibuza ukuthi ungasondela kanjani amaphupho akho futhi uwahumushe, ithuluzi eliyinhloko lokuhumusha iphupho lilele ngaphakathi kweZwi likaNkulunkulu.

Isisekelo sokuhunyushwa kwamaphupho siphumule ngezimpawu eziba namandla amakhulu eBhayibhelini. Isibonelo, emiBhalweni, utshani buvame ukusetshenziswa njengophawu lomuntu, lubonisa impilo yomuntu nokugcwala kwalo. Lokhu kutolika kuqiniswa izinkomba eziningi, ukulandela umgomo wokuqinisekiswa ngofakazi ababili noma abathathu. Ngokuhlola amavesi anjenge amaHubo 102: 11, amaHubo 104: 14, u-Isaya 37:27, noJobe 5:25, umuntu angakumisa ukuqonda okucacile kophawu lwesibonakaliso.

Isibonelo esijabulisayo sebhayibheli sokutolika iphupho singatholakala endabeni yombhaki noButler kuGenesise 40: 5-23. Imininingwane ngayinye emaphusheni abo yayibaluleke kakhulu, ngophawu lokubhalwa ngukolweni olumelela usuku lwamahora angama-24 nezinyoni ezikhonza njengombukiso wamademoni, kubikezela umoya wokufa. Ingqikithi ephakathi kwamaphupho bekungukuvela kwemicimbi kungakapheli izinsuku ezintathu, kusikhombisa inani lezimpawu nokuthi ukwethulwa kophawu olulodwa lushintsha okushiwo yiliphi iphupho noma umbono.

Kodwa-ke, ukuthembela ezifanekisweni zamaphupho ngaphandle kokufuna ukuholwa eZwini likaNkulunkulu kungaholela ekuchazeni kabi. Izinkomba zokuphupha, ezinikeza izincazelo ezingokomfanekiso ezisekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho nemibhalo, zingaba amathuluzi awusizo kepha kufanele zisekelwe ngokuqonda ngokomoya. Ukuhunyushwa kwephupho ubuciko obuqondiswa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ukutolika kungadlula imingcele yezincwajana.

Umuntu ngamunye unephethini eliyiphupho eliyingqayizivele, elingaba ngohlobo lwemibala, izinombolo, noma ezinye izimpawu. Ukuqonda iphethini yephupho yomuntu kubalulekile ekuvuleni imilayezo efihliwe ngaphakathi kwamaphupho. Isibonelo, amaphupho kaJosefa ngomndeni wakhe ekhothama kuye ayemelelwa yizinombolo eziphindaphindayo zezinkanyezi nama-haystacks, efanekisela abafowabo. Lawa maphethini awahlali aqondile, futhi umuntu kufanele ancike ekuboneni kwaphezulu nasekuqondisweni komoya ongcwele ukuthola incazelo efanele.

Amaphupho abuye aqukethe izimpawu zobuso noma izimo ezijwayelekile, kepha azitolika njengezethulo eziqondile zalabo bantu zingabadukisa. Eqinisweni, iningi lamaphupho lizungeza umphukeli uqobo. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi amaphupho asebenzisa izimpawu zemvelo ngezincazelo ezijulile okungenzeka angavumelani nokubukeka kwazo ezweni elivukile.

Ukwenza kahle ulimi lwamaphupho kuwumsebenzi obalulekile, njengoba amaphupho ahlala eyimoto enamandla lapho uNkulunkulu axhumana khona nabantu. Bobabili amakholwa nabangewona amakholwa bangathola izambulo zaphezulu emaphusheni abo. Kodwa-ke, ukutolika amaphupho kudinga inhliziyo ethobekile, ukufuna iqiniso ngelensi yeZwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi kwamukele ukuholwa nguMoya oNgcwele.

Ukusondela amaphupho ngempumelelo, kuyalulekwa ukuthi kugcinwe iphephabhuku lamaphupho, thandaza ngomkhuleko amaphethini wamaphupho, futhi afune ukuqondiswa nguNkulunkulu ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Amaphupho angasebenza njengekhampasi, eqondisa abantu abaqondisayo enjongweni kaNkulunkulu ngempilo yabo futhi bambula izinhloso zabaphikisana ngokomoya

Ekuphetheni, amaphupho ayici engaqondakali kodwa enamandla yobukhona bomuntu. Ukuqonda amaphupho izimpawu ngokusebenzisa i-lens yeZwi likaNkulunkulu kuvumela abantu ukuba babone imiyalezo yaphezulu kanye nezambulo zaphezulu. Ukuhumusha amaphupho kungubuciko obuhlanganisa ukuqonda okungokomoya nokuqonda kusuka kwizikhombisi zamaphupho. Ngokubona iphethini yephupho elilodwa eliyingqayizivele futhi ufuna ukuholwa kuMoya oNgcwele, abantu bangavulela ulimi lwamaphupho futhi bamukele ukuxhumana kwaphezulu okulukiwe ngaphakathi kwabo.
