Mndeni we-AFM,
Mndeni we-AFM,
Ngasekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, sibe nelungelo lokuvakashela nokusebenzisa isikhathi esibalulekile enkonzweni kanye nokwabelana nabefundisi bethu Bezifunda, Abaholi bamabandla, Amalungu Endikimba Ebusayo, Abaholi Beminyango, kanye nabasemagunyeni okulawula amabandla, Abaholi beMinyango kanye namalungu amaBandla ngesikhathi abaphathi zikhundla bakazwelonke behambela iziFunda kulonyaka we-2025 ngenhloso yokubahlomisa. Sokuthuthukiswa Kwe-NOB sika-2025. Isihloko ebesikhulumisana ngaso kulonyaka we-2025 ebesithi: “Ukugcina umlilo uvutha!”, sasilokhu sinkenenza ngendlela ejulile ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kwethu. Lesisihloko sisikhumbuze ngokubaluleka kokuhlala sinothando futhi sizinikele ebukhoneni nasemsebenzini kaMoya oNgcwele ezimpilweni zethu. Njengoba nje umlilo udinga ukuvuselelwa ukuze uhlale uphila, umlilo wethu ngokomoya udinga ukusekelwa ngomthandazo, ukukhulekela, iZwi, nokuphila ngokulalela, njengoba eyabaseRoma 12:11 (ZUL2020) isinxusa: “ekukhuthaleni, ningabi ngamavila; nivuthe emoyeni, nikhonze iNkosi.”
Sibonga wonke umuntu obambe iqhaza kulokhu kuvakasha kanye nomoya wobumbano, ukusebenzisana, kanye nokulangazelela ukukhula okwabonakala kuzo zonke izifunda. Siyabonga ngokuhlanganyela nathi kanye nokuzibophezela kwenu okuqhubekayo emsebenzini weNkosi. Kule ncwadi yobeLusi, Abaphathi Behhovisi Likazwelonke bethula ukuzindla okwengeziwe ngezihloko eziwumongo zokuvakasha kwabo ngonyaka we-2025. Siyethemba ukuthi lokhu kuzokubusisa futhi kukuhlomise ngamandla.
UKUNAKEKELA IMPILO YOMZIMBA WAKHO
Inkonzo nokuphila, kokubili ngokomoya nangokwenyama kunezidingo zako. Ukuze sisebenzele uNkulunkulu isikhathi eside, nangempumelelo kumele sinakekele imizimba yethu. Impilo yethu ngokomzimba iyingxenye yokuba ngabaphathi abahle balokho uNkulunkulu asinike kona. IBhayibheli liyasikhumbuza kweyoku-1 Korinte 6:19 ukuthi imizimba yethu ingamathempeli kaMoya oNgcwele.
Umthelela wengcindezi ehambisana nobizo. Ukwenza inkonzo yobizo kuvame ukuthi kusisebenzise isiskhathi eside, ingcindezi ngokwemizwa, nezikhathi ezingajwayelekile. Uma singanaki impilo yemizimba yethu, sizifaka engozini yokutubeka, ukugula, nokukhathala, okungase kuthiye ikhono lethu lokufeza inkonzo yethu kahle. Ingcindezi ithinta kokubili umzimba nomphefumulo, yingakho kubalulekile ukulingalinganisa izinto ukuze sikwazi ukuqhuba inkonzo isikhathi eside. Cabanga ngalezizinyathelo ezilandelayo ezingakuholela empilweni engcono:
Ukuze sikhonze uNkulunkulu ngokuphumelelayo isikhathi eside, kumelwe sinakekele imizimba yethu. Impilo yethu engokomzimba iyingxenye yokuba ngabaphathi abahle balokho uNkulunkulu asinike kona. IBhayibheli liyasikhumbuza kweyoku-1 Korinte 6:19 ukuthi imizimba yethu ingamathempeli kaMoya oNgcwele.
Inani Lokucindezeleka Kwenkonzo. Inkonzo ngokuvamile ihilela amahora amade, ukucindezeleka ngokomzwelo, nezinhlelo ezingajwayelekile. Uma singayinaki impilo yethu engokomzimba, sizifaka engozini yokutubeka, ukugula, nokukhathala, okungase kuthiye ikhono lethu lokukhonza kahle. Ukucindezeleka kuthinta kokubili umzimba nomphefumulo, ngakho ukuthola ibhalansi kubalulekile enkonzweni yesikhathi eside. Cabangela izinyathelo ezisebenzayo ezilandelayo eziholela empilweni engcono:
ukuzivocavoce njalo: Phokophela ukuzivocavoca okungenani imizuzu engama-20 izikhathi ezintathu (3) ukuya kwezine (4) ngesonto. Ukuhlala senza okuthile kusenza sihlale siqinile emsebenzini uNkulunkulu asibizele wona.
Yidla ukudla okunomsoco: Gwema ukudla okwenziwa ngendlela esheshayo nokudla okungenampilo. Khetha ukudla okunomsoco okukunika amandla ahlala ekhona njalo. Eyoku-1 Korinte 10:31 isikhuthaza ukuba simkhazimulise uNkulunkulu nangalokho esikudlayo.
Ukuphumula akube sohlwini oluphezulu: Ukulala nokuphumula kubalulekile. Ihubo le-127:2 lisikhumbuza ukuthi ukuphumula kuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, kakulona uphawu lobuvila.
Yamukele ukuphila ngokulingalinganisa izinto: Impilo ngokomzimba, ngokomoya, nangokwemizwa konke kuxhumene.
Kweyesi-3 kaJohane 1:2 (ZUL59) uJohane, umdala, wabhala: “Sithandwa, kunakho konke ngikufisela ukuba ube nenhlanhla nokuphila, njengokuba umphefumulo wakho unenhlanhla.” Ukunakekela umzimba wakho akubona ubugovu - kukusiza ukuba usebenzele uNkulunkulu kangcono. Kumele sicele uNkulunkulu ukuba asigcine futhi asinike ukuhlakanipha namandla okwakha futhi ku Sithandwa, kunakho konke ngikufisela ukuba ube nenhlanhla nokuphila, njengokuba umphefumulo wakho unenhlanhla.kusekela imikhuba enempilo.
VUSELELA. FINYELELA. TSHALA: UBIZO LWE-AFM LOKWANDISA UMBUSO
I-AFM yasungulwa ngonyaka we-1908 futhi iliBandla lika-Moya (Pentecostal) elikhulu kunawo wonke eNingizimu Afrika. “IPentecostal” kusho ukuthi yibandla elikholelwa ukuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu unikezwa amakholwa ukuze aphile izimpilo ezinamandla nezinqobayo. Kuphinde kusho ukuthi amakholwa angakhombisa isimilo, uthando namandla eNkosi yawo, uJesu Kristu, ezimpilweni zawo zansuku zonke.
Okusemqoka ngesiqu se-AFM ukugxila kulokho okuwuthumo lwayo, okuyisisekelo senkolo yayo etholakala NgokukaJohane 3:16. Lokhu kugcizelela uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngesintu kanye nomsebenzi kaJesu wokusihlenga. Lokhu kuzibophezela ekubeni “ngamanxusa kaNkulunkulu” kulolonga injongo nemisebenzi yebandla, kukhuthaze abazalwane ukuthi bazinikele ekwabelaneni ngevangeli nasekuboniseni izimiso zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu ekuphileni kwansuku zonke.
I-AFM igqame ngezinto ezimbili ezibalulekile: ukubhabhadiswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kanye nentshisekelo yokuThumo oluKhulu. Lezizinto zikhuthaza ibandla ukuba ligqugquzele amalunga alo, abizwa ngokuthi “amanxusa othumo,” ukuze afinyelele imiphakathi yawo ngomlayezo wethemba nensindiso. Isifiso sokusuthisa umphakathi ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu sibonisa indlela eyingqayizivele yokukhula kwebandla, elibeka phambili ukuvuselela amabandla akhona kanye nokutshala amasha.
Amasu amaningana asekela izinhlelo zokukhula kwebandla, ahlanganisa:
Umthandazo nokuqonda imimoya: Ukwazi ukuthi ukukhula ngokomoya kudinga ukuqondiswa nguNkulunkulu nokuzibophezela emthandazweni.
Ubuholi obunombono: Ukuhlomisa abefundisi ngombono ongathandabuzi onkeneneza emiphakathini yabo, okhuthaza indleal yokukhula.
Ukwesekwa kobuholi: Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amathimba abaholi ahlomile futhi anogqozi nentshiseko ngokukhula kwebandla.
Inkonzo engcwele: Ukuzwisisa ilungelo lokusebenzela iNkosi ngomyalezo oletha inguquko.
Ukufinyelela kubantu ngobubele: Ukwenza njengoKristu ulingisa ekuhlangabezeni nezidingo zabantu ngendlela enobubele.
I-AFM igcizelela ukubaluleka kokuphila ngeqiniso, okugxile kuKristu phakathi kwamalungu ayo. Ibuka izimpilo zabo njengobufakazi obunamandla okudonsela abanye okholweni. Izinkonzo zihlelelwe ukuba zigxile kuKristu, nezintshumayelo ezigcizelela amandla okuhlenga esiphambano kanye namathuba okuba abantu bamukele uJesu njengoMsindisi wabo.
Ngombono wokwandisa amabandla ukuthi afike ezi-2,805 ngolwezi onyakeni wezi-2034, i-AFM izibophezele ukuqhubeka nomlando wayo wokukhula nokufinyelela abantu, ukukhuthaza imiphakathi lapho wonke umuntu engathola ikhaya elingokukamoya futhi abambe iqhaza emsebenzini wokusabalalisa uthando lukaNkulunkulu.
UBUVANGELI: IZINHLIZIYO EZIVUTHAYO, UKUGUQULWA KWEZIMPILO
Masiphendulele izinhliziyo nezingqondo zethu obizweni olujulile lukaJesu Kristu kuMathewu 28:19-20, olwaziwa ngokuthi uThumo Olukhulu. Lapha, uJesu uyasiyala ukuba "Hambani nenze izizwe zonke abafundi, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele." Lokhu akusona nje isiphakamiso; kungumsebenzi ongcwele osikhuthaza ukuthi sibambe iqhaza ohambweni lwenkolo eletha inguquko kithina kanye nalabo abasihaqileyo.
Isimemo sokuguqula izimpilo. Emqondweni wakho, ukuvangela kuyisimemo sokuguqula izimpilo. Kuyimpendulo yethu ejabulisayo emyalweni kaKristu wokwabelana ngethemba nothando esilutholile Kuye. Kusho ukuthini ukuvangela kuwe na? Kwabaningi, kungase kuvuse imizwa yokwesaba noma yokungabaza, kodwa masikhumbule ukuthi kuyithuba lokubona umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu omangalisayo ezinhliziyweni zabanye.
Isisekelo seBhayibheli. Uthumo Olukhulu lusebenza njengesisekelo sethu sebhayibheli, lusikhumbuza ukuthi ukushumayela ivangeli akuwona umsebenzi ozikhethela wona kodwa kuwumgogodla wokholo lwethu. EyabaseRoma 10:14 iphakamisa umbuzo obalulekile: “Pho, bayakukhuleka kanjani kulowo abangakholwanga kuye na? Lokhu kugcizelela ukuphuthuma komsebenzi wethu. Izwe lilindele ukukhanya okuvela kuKristu, thina siyizitsha zokodlulisa umlayezo wakhe.
Uthumo olugxile ekwenzeni. Umyalo othi "hamba" ugxile ekwenzeni, usibizela ekuthini siphume ezindaweni esinethezeke kuzo futhi sizibandakanye ngenkuthalo enkonzweni yokwenza abafundi. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukuholela abantu kuKristu nokuthuthukisa ukukhula kwabo ngokomoya. Ububanzi balo thumo bufakelela umhlaba wonke - "zonke izizwe" kusho ukuthi wonke amagumbi omhlaba alinde ivangeli, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi imvelaphi ngokwamasiko nenzenhlalo kunjani. Inqubo Yokwenza Abafundi. Ukwenza abafundi kunezinyathelo ezintathu:
Memezela iVangeli: Njengoba uJohane 3:16 esikhumbuza, ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyalithanda izwe futhi ufisa ukuba bonke beze kuye. Ubufakazi bethu benguquko bungaba ubufakazi obunamandla bomusa nothando lukaNkulunkulu.
Fundisa Futhi Ubhaphathize: Izenzo 2:41 zibonisa ukubaluleka kokufundisa nokubhaphathizwa empilweni yekholwa. Ukufundisa kubalulekile ekukhuleni ngokomoya, kanti umbhaphathizo usho ukuvuma esidlangalaleni ukholo lwakho.
Hlomisa futhi Wandise Ngokuphindaphindiwe: Ukwenza abafundi ngumsebenzi oqhubekayo. Njengoba uPawulu ayala uThimothewu kweyesi-2 Thimothewu 2:2, sibizelwe ukuhlomisa abanye ukuba babelane ngokholo lwabo futhi benze abafundi ngokwengeziwe.
Amasu Asebenzayo Okushumayela Ivangeli. Njengoba samukela ubizo lokuvangela, singasebenzisa amasu ahlukahlukene:
Ukuvangela okwenziwa ngumuntu siqu sakhe: Qala ubudlelwano nalabo abadinga ivangeli futhi wabelane ngobufakazi bakho obuyiqiniso, njengoba kwenza uFiliphu ngomthenwa wase-eTiyopiya (IZenzo 8:26-40).
Ukufinyelela umphakathi: Hlela imicimbi edibanisayo efana nobusuku bamamuvi noma amafestivali omculo ukuze kwakhiwe umphakathi futhi nixoxe ngezindikimba ezihlobene nokholo.
I-Digital Evangelism: Sebenzisa izinkundla zokuxhumana ukuze wabelane ngemilayezo ekhuthazayo futhi wenze izifundo zeBhayibheli ngokwakha amaqembu afundela emakhaya.
Ivangeli Lomkhuleko: Thandazela amathuba kanye nabantu ngabanye ukuthi beze kuKristu, umeme uNkulunkulu ukuba aqondise imizamo yethu.
Imivuzo Yokushumayela Ivangeli. Imivuzo yokushumayela ivangeli miningi. Ukubona izimpilo zabantu eziguqulwe yivangeli kuletha injabulo enkulu futhi kukhombisa amandla kaNkulunkulu. Yonke imiphefumulo esindisiwe ineqhaza embusweni kaNkulunkulu futhi ihlala ibalulekile njalo. Njengoba uLuka 15:7 esikhumbuza, izulu liyajabula ngaso sonke isoni esiphendukayo, okwenza imizamo yethu ibe nomthelela.
Ukuhlomisa abanye ngamandla okushumayela Ivangeli. Kufanele sihlomisane futhi sibonisane ukuze sikhuthaze iumkhuba wokuvangela. Izinhlelo zokuqeqesha nezinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi zinganika amakholwa izisetshenziswa zokwabelana ngokholo lwawo ngempumelelo.
Njengoba sizindla ngokukaMathewu 28:19, cabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukubizela ukuthi uey kuphi. Kuleli sonto, zibekele inselelo yokuthi wabelane ngevangeli nomuntu oyedwa. Kungaba ingxoxo elula noma umlayezo osuka enhliziyweni. Yamukela ukungapheleli; khumbula, ukuvangela akukona ukupheleliswa kodwa ukulalela. Njengo-Isaya, kwangathi singasabela obizweni lukaNkulunkulu, sithi; “Nangu mina. Thuma mina!”.
UKUBA NOMTHELELA ESIZUKULWANENI ESILANDELAYO
Ngiyabonga ngokuba yingxenye ye-AFM yaseNingizimu Afrika. Umndeni wami ubuyingxenye yaleli bandla izizukulwane ngezizukulwane. I-AFM iyiBandla elixube ngokwempela izizukulwane- kusukela ezinganeni ukuya kumalungu asekhulile - bonke bakhona emaBandleniyethu. Kulesi sihloko, ngifuna ukugxila esizukulwaneni esilandelayo. Ngisanda kuhlaziya izibalo zabefundisi bethu abagcotshiwe. Lezizibalo zimayelana anlokhu okulandlealyo:
- Abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-50, kodwa engaphansi kweminyaka engama-65: Abefundisi abayi-1,209
- Abaphakathi kweminyaka esuka kwiminyaka engama-40 kuye kwengama-50: Abefundisi abangama-387
- Abaphakathi kweminyaka esuka kwiminyaka engama-30 kuye kwengama-40: Abefundisi abayi-107
- Abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-30: Abefundisi abayi-11 kuphela
Cishe amaphesenti angama-70% abefundisi bethu bangaphezu kweminyaka engama-50, kanti cishe amaphesenti angama-50% abantu baseNingizimu Afrika bangaphansi kweminyaka engama-25. Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi kuphuthuma kangakanani ukufinyelela, ukululeka, nokuhlomisa abantu abasha kanye nabafundisi abangase baqhubekisele iBandla phambili.
Kungani Isizukulwane esilandelayo sibalulekile?. IHubo 78:4-7 lisitshela ukuthi sidlulisele imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu esizukulwaneni esilandelayo. Uma singabelani ngokholo lwethu, ulwazi, kanye nalokho esidlule kuko, sizifaka engozini yokulahlekelwa umlayezo weVangeli. Isizukulwane ngasinye kufanele sizwe ngoNkulunkulu futhi silandele imiyalo Yakhe. Umsebenzi wethu awuphelele ngaphandle kokutshala imali kulabo abazohola ngemuva kwethu. Singasithinta kanjani isizukulwane esilandelayo?
a. Ukwenza Abafundi nokulolonga. Eyesi-2 Thimothewu 2:2 isikhuthaza ukuthi sifundise abanye abangase nabo bafundise. Isizukulwane esilandelayo sidinga isiqondiso nokusekelwa. Ngokudabukisayo, abaholi abaningi abadala abaziniki isikhathi sokufundisa amakholwa asemasha. Kodwa abasha bayakulangazelela ukufunda nokukhula. Ngincoma uMongameli wethu, uDkt. Henri Weideman, ngokuqala iLegacy Leadership Programme, efundisa abaholi abasebasha. Iqembu lokuqala laphothula uhlelo ngonyaka we-2024, futhi iqembu elisha laqala ngonyaka we-2025. Lolu uhlobo lwesinyathelo esiludingayo ebandleni.
b. Ukuzibekelela eNkozweni yaBantwana neyaBasha. UDuteronomi 6:6-7 usitshela ukuba sifundise izingane zethu iZwi likaNkulunkulu ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke. Lokhu kudinga umzamo wabaholi besonto nabazali. Amasonto kumele ahlinzeke ngezinkonzo ezisezingeni, elifanele intsha kanye nezingane. Asikwazi ukusebenzisa izindlela eziphelelwe yisikhathi futhi silindele imiphumela. Abantu abasha badinga ukufinyelelwa ngezindlela abazixhumana ngazo namuhla.
Umkhakha okulula kakhulu ukuwukhulisa ebandleni lakho yizingane zamalungu eBandla. Uma sibafinyelela ngothando nangeqiniso kusenesikhathi, iningi labo lizohlala lizinikele kuKristu. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi intsha eningi kwlase-U.S.A iyayeka ukuya esontweni lapho iseminyakeni engamao-20 ngenxa yezinhlelo zokwenza abafundi ezibuthakathaka. Abanye babuya kamuva, kodwa izisekelo eziqinile zokuqala zenza umehluko omkhulu.
c. Ukukhuthaza kokuzibandakanya kwentsha eNkonzweni. Eyoku-1 Thimothewu 4:12 isikhumbuza ukuba singabukeli phansi abantu abasha. Nabo bangaba abaholi abaqinile. Kodwa ngokuvamile, abaholi abadala bazizwa besatshiswa imibono yentsha, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezifana nobuchwepheshe. Kufanele siyilalele intsha, siyisekele, futhi sisize ekulolongeni imibono yayo ukuze iphetheke. Lapho ngangingumholi osemusha, ngabhekana nokwaliwa abaholi abadala ababechitha imibono yami. Inkumbulo yaloku iyangiqhuba manje ukuthi ngibalalele ngokucophelela abantu abasha ebandleni lami. Ngisho noma ngingavumelani nakho konke, ngizama ukuthola izindlela zokuzifaka nokubaqondisa. Uma singabanaki, bazothola elinye isonto lapho bazizwa bamukelekile khona.
d. Izibonelo ZeBhayibheli. UMose noJoshuwa - UMose waqeqesha uJoshuwa ukuhola. Kufanele futhi silungiselele abaholi abasebasha ukuthi baqhubeke nomsebenzi. U-Eli noSamuweli - nakuba u-Eli wayengaphethekile, wasiza ekuqondiseni uSamuweli owayesemncane, kamuva owaba umprofethi onamandla. UNkulunkulu angasisebenzisa, ngisho noma sinamaphutha ethu, ukuze siqondise isizukulwane esilandelayo.
Kufanele sithathe isinyathelo. Ukuthemba ukuthi isizukulwane esilandelayo sizolandela uKristu akwanele. Kufanele sibaluleke, sibafundise futhi sibanikeze amandla. Njengabefundisi nabaholi, sinomthwalo wokubalungiselela ukuba bahole ibandla esikhathini esizayo. Asenze lokho kuzibophezela namuhla.
ISIPHETHO
Ngenyanga kaNhlaba kulonyaka, i-AFM yaseNingizimu Afrika igubhe ngenjabulo iminyaka eyi-117 ebikade ihambisana nokugcwaliswa ngoMoya! Sibe nokusakaza nge-podcast ebonise ukuzalwa nokukhula kweBandla lethu ngendlela enamandla. Futhi beyiqukethe nesession ngombono esinawo ngekusasa lethu kanye neqhaza elingabanjwa yisizukulwane esilandelayo. Imigubho yayikhuthaza futhi isihlanganisa. AmaBandla e-AFM ezweni lonke ahlanganyela ekukhumbuleni Usuku loPhawu (Logo) lwe-AFM, eveza uphawu lwethu njengophawu lwethu olunenhloso kanye nokusihlanganisa. Siyabonga kuwo wonke umuntu obambe iqhaza futhi wasiza ukwenza lokhu kube umgubho onenjongo wamagugu ethu anothile eBandla lika-Moya!! (Pentecostal!).
Ukubhaliswa Kwangaphambi kwesikhathi kweNkomfa kaZwelonke ye-AFM ngaphansi kwesiqubulo esithi: “ABLAZE” SEKUVULIWE! Ungaphuthelwa yilesi sikhathi esinamandla sokuhlangana okuqabulayo, okuhlomisayo, nokusibeka ebukhoneni buka-Nkulunkulu e-Durban International Convention Centre (ICC). Ukubhaliswa kwesikhathi esingaphambili kungama-R200 kuphela futhi kusebenza izinsuku ezingama-30 (9 kuNhlangulana-9 kuNtulikazi) — kodwa izihlalo zilinganisiwe futhi zigcwala ngokushesha! Vikela indawo yakho manje futhi ube yingxenye yalokho uNkulunkulu asilungiselela kona. 👉 Bhalisa lapha noma usebenzise ikhodi ye-QR etholakalayo.
Njengoba sizindla ngakho konke uNkulunkulu akwenzile futhi sibheka phambili ngokholo, kwangathi singelokothe sivumele umlilo osezinhliziyweni zethu ucime. Masiwugcine uphila—sikhonze iNkosi ngokushisekela, ngenhloso, nangokuzinikela okungantengantengi.
Ozithobayo!
