Isinyathelo 1: Thola Isipho Sakho Esingokwesiprofetho
Isinyathelo sokuqala sokukhulisa isipho sakho sokuprofetha ukuqaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukunikeze lesi sipho . Ngaphandle kokuhlonza okucacile, kunzima ukusebenza ngokugcwele obizweni lwakho lwesiprofetho.
UmBhalo: “Sineziphiwo ezihlukene ngokomusa esiwuphiweyo, uma isipho sakho siwukuprofetha, profetha njengokukholwa kwenu” (KwabaseRoma 12:6).
Isibonelo SeBhayibheli:
USamuweli: Ekuqaleni akazange alibone izwi likaNkulunkulu. Cabanga nje ukuthi ukhulele endlini yompristi futhi wenza imisebenzi ethile yobupristi, kodwa waphaphama enkonzweni yakhe yokuprofetha ngosuku uNkulunkulu ambiza ngalo ngezwi lika-Eli. Ukube u-Eli akazange aveze ukuthi kwakukhuluma uNkulunkulu, uSamuweli wayengeke aluthole ngokugcwele ubizo lwakhe olungokwesiprofetho. Wayenomeluleki owamsiza ukuba abone izwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi waqhubeka nokuthola inkonzo kaNkulunkulu ekuphileni kwakhe kamuva ohambweni lwakhe. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi ungakhula ungazi nokuthi uphiwe futhi ubiziwe, ukubone ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Isihluthulelo sokuqonda kukaSamuweli isipho sakhe kwakungu-Eli kanye nosizo ayelunikeza.
Isihluthulelo siwukuthi: zinike isikhathi sokuthandaza futhi ufune isambulo ukuze uqonde ukuthi ungubani. IBhayibheli lithi, “Ngingakakubumbi esizalweni sikanyoko, ngakwazi” ( Jeremiya 1:5 ). UNkulunkulu uyakwazi ukuthi ungubani, futhi ngokuchitha isikhathi esiningi emthandazweni ukuze uzithole, uzombula intando kaNkulunkulu ngempilo yakho. UNkulunkulu
Isinyathelo sesi-2: Thuthukisa Indlala kanye Nesifiso Sesiprofetho
Uma usutholile lokho oyikho, lokho kutholwa kudala ukulamba kuwe. Lokhu sikubona ekuphileni kukaSamuweli: isikhathi athola ngaso ubizo lwakhe olungokwesiprofetho nesikhathi amiswa ngaso ngokugcwele njengomprofethi kwakuyizigaba ezimbili ezihlukene. Ukuthola kwafika kuqala—wabona izwi likaNkulunkulu nobizo lwakhe ( 1 Samuweli 3:1–10 )—kodwa ukusungulwa kweza kamuva, ngemva kwesikhathi sendlala, ukufunda, kanye nokukhula ngokomoya. USamuweli kamuva wamiswa njengomprofethi lapho iNkosi yembula izinhlelo Zakhe kuye futhi abantu bakwa-Israyeli baqala ukuqaphela igunya lakhe lokuprofetha:
“Futhi uSamuweli wakhula, futhi uJehova wayenaye futhi akawisanga phansi nelilodwa lamazwi akhe.” Futhi wonke u-Israyeli kusukela kwaDani kuze kufike eBeri Sheba wazi ukuthi uSamuweli wayeqinisiwe njengomprofethi weNkosi” ( 1 Samuweli 3:19–20 ).
UDavide usinikeza esinye isibonelo. Wabizelwa ukuba abe yinkosi, kodwa okokuqala, wangena endlini kaSawule—hhayi nje ukukhonza uSawule, kodwa ukuze azibonakalise. U-Elisha naye wayengumlimi ngaphambi kokuba abe umprofethi. Kwaba ngemva kokuba eqale ukulandela u-Eliya lapho athola khona ubizo lwakhe olungokwesiprofetho. Isihluthulelo sokukhula kwakho okungokwesiprofetho yindlala eba khona ngemva kokuthola ukuthi ungubani.
Ohambweni lwami, njengoba ngangilambele ukuqonda isipho sami sokuprofetha, uNkulunkulu wavula ukuqonda kwami ngezincwadi, izimfundiso, kanye nezinsiza engazifunda.
Umbuzo wakho uthi:
Yiziphi izincwadi ozifundile ezikhuluma ngesiprofetho?
Yiziphi izinto ezibalulekile ozithathe encwadini ngayinye?
Ingabe ulutholile uhlobo lomphrofethi oyilona kanye nenkonzo oyiphethe?
Khumbula, njengakuSamuel, ukutholakala nokusungulwa kuyizigaba ezihlukene. Kwathatha uhambo lokufunda, ukuqonda, nokwenza ukuze aqiniswe ngokugcwele obizweni lwakhe lwesiprofetho.
Okubalulekile okuthathwayo: Thatha isikhathi sokuthola izincwadi, izinto zokwakha, kanye nezinsiza ezingakusiza ukuthi ukhule ekupheni kwakho nasekubizeni. Vumela uNkulunkulu akhulume ngalokho okufundayo nokufundayo, futhi kukwenze ulambele ukuqonda okwengeziwe ngenkonzo yakho yokuprofetha.
Isinyathelo sesi-3: Sebenza futhi Usijwayeze Isipho Sakho
Noma yisiphi isipho esingasetshenzisiwe sihlala silele. USamuweli wakhula engazi ukuthi ungumphrofethi, kodwa ngesikhathi ethola isipho sakhe sokuprofetha, wathola ukuqonda ngaso futhi waqala ukusisebenzisa—ngaleso sikhathi lapho amiswa khona njengomprofethi. Noma yini engasetshenziswanga iyohlala ilele; lokhu njalo kuyisimiso somoya.
Isihluthulelo sokukhulisa isipho sakho sokuprofetha ukusisebenzisa . Ungesabi ukwenza amaphutha, ngoba ngamaphutha sifunda futhi sivuthwe. Abantu abaningi bayangabaza futhi bayehluleka ukuphuma, futhi ngenxa yalokho, abakhuli obizweni uNkulunkulu alubeke ezimpilweni zabo.
Isihluthulelo siwukuba ngokoqobo: sebenzisa isipho sakho njalo . Phuma ekukholweni futhi usebenzise lokho uNkulunkulu akunike khona.
Isihluthulelo: Sebenzisa isipho sakho njalo. Phuma ngokholo ulethe amazwi esiprofetho, weluleke abanye, futhi uqonde izwi likaNkulunkulu. Ukwethemba nokunemba kukhula ngokuzijwayeza okungaguquki.
Isinyathelo sesi-4: Ubungcweti kanye Nenkonzo
Njengoba isipho sakho sesiprofetho sikhula, uNkulunkulu uvame ukukubiza ukuthi ugxile endaweni ethile yenkonzo yesiprofetho , njengesiphrofetho sikahulumeni, isiprofetho sokuncenga, noma incazelo yamaphupho. Ubungcweti buza ngolwazi, ukuqeqeshwa, kanye nesambulo saphezulu.
Futhi qaphela ukuthi wonke umuntu uphethe isici esiyingqayizivele senkonzo nesiphiwo uNkulunkulu abanikeze sona. Ngesikhathi somsebenzi , uthola ukuthola ngokugcwele ukuthi luyini ubizo lwakho oluthile. Abantu abaningi bangase bazi ukuthi banesiphiwo sokuprofetha, kodwa abakaqondi kahle indawo ababizelwe ukusebenza kuyo.
Uma usebenza ngaphandle kwendawo oyikhethile yobizo lwesiprofetho, ungabangela ukulimala noma ukudideka kunokwakha. Isibonelo, akubona bonke abaphrofethi ababizelwe ukwenza umsebenzi wobufundisi—abanye babizelwe ukuba ngabaprofethi bakahulumeni , basebenze ezindaweni zobuholi, ithonya, nezeluleko emakhosini nasezizweni.
Lapho sifunda imiBhalo, sithola izinkulumo ezingokwesiprofetho ezihlukene: UDaniyeli wayesebenza njengomprofethi kahulumeni, kuyilapho u-Abrahama ehamba ngokwesiprofetho njengokhokho wesivumelwano. Ziningi ezinye izibonelo, ngasinye siphethe umusa nesabelo esiyingqayizivele.
Ngizophinde ngifake isixhumanisi sokuthunyelwe kwebhulogi echaza izinhlobo ezahlukene zabaprofethi , ikakhulukazi abaprofethi bakahulumeni , kanye nemfundiso yevidiyo ezokusiza uqonde amahhovisi nezinkonzo ezihlukahlukene zesiprofetho ngokujulile.
Ngibonga kakhulu.
UmBhalo: “Imimoya yabaprofethi ingaphansi kwamandla abaprofethi” (1 Korinte 14:32).
Isihluthulelo: Umgomo wakho omkhulu uwukuba yizwi lesiprofetho elethembekile , lowo inkonzo yakhe ibusisa, iqondise, futhi iqinise abanye.
Okuthathwayo Okubalulekile
