Ubunceku Ngezikhathi Ezilukhuni

Indimana Yekhanda: 14 “Nikela kuNkulunkulu umnikelo wokubonga,

uzigcwalise izithembiso zakho koPhezukonke;
15 ngibize ngosuku lwenhlupheko;
ngiyakukukhulula, wena uyakungidumisa.” (iHubo 50:14, 15).

ISETHULO SESIFUNDO (Intro)

Isifundo saleviki siqokomisa izimiso ezibalulekile ukuze sihlale sithembekile ezinsukwini zokugcina

Sun - Ukubeka uNkulunkulu Kuqala

Wed - Izinto Ezimqoka

1 Put God first - Beka uNkulunkulu kuqala (Sun, Wed)

• Isifundo sikhomba udaba lokuhlaselwa kuka-uJehoshafati njengesibonelo sokubeka uNkulunkulu

kuqala. uJehoshafati wahlaselwa uAmoni, uMowabi kanye no-Edomi.

◦ Wenza umsebenzi wemvuselelo nenguquko phakathi kwabantu, ebabiza ukuba babuyela

ekuthembekeni eNkosini. (2 iziKronike 19:1-4, 9).

◦ Lapho kufika inkinga yempi. UNkulunkulu wanika uJehoshafati iziyalelo eziqondile, esebenzisa
umprofethi uJahaziyeli. Inkosi yazilandela lezo ziyalelo yanqoba. (2 iziKronike. 20:15-17).

◦ Ukubeka uNkulunkulu kuqala kuhlanganisa nokulalela ngokungangabazeki Kwakhe imiyalo.

ukuchuma kwethu kuyohlale kunesilinganiso esiqondile ekuzimiseleni kwethu ukulalela
akushoyo. (2 iziKronike. 20:20).

• Kufanele senze iNkosi ibe kuqala kithi

◦ Kungaba khona okubalulekile okukodwa kuphela kweqiniso; UJesu wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi
singakhonza iNkosi eyodwa kuphela; Okuxakayo, Waveza umehluko phakathi kokukhonza
uNkulunkulu nokukhonza imali. (NgokukaMathewu 6:24,33).

Tue - Yisikhathi Sokunciphisa?

Fri - injongo yesimiso sokukhipha okweshumi
2. Yisikhathi Sokunciphisa (Tue, Fri)

• IBhayibheli likwenza kucace ukuthi ngeke sithathe izinto zethu siziyise ezulwini. (2 KaPetru 3:3-13).

◦ Ngakho-ke, sidinga ukukusebenzisa ngokugcwele ngekhathi singenza.

◦ “Yisikhathi manje sokuthi abazalwane bethu banciphise impahla yabo esikhundleni sokuyandisa.
Sekusondele ukuthi siye ezweni elingcono, elasezulwini. Ngakhoke, asingabi abahlali
basemhlabeni, kodwa asinciphiseni.”—Ellen G. White, Counsels on Stewardship, p. 59.

◦ I heard some mourn like this: “The cause was languishing, God's people were starving for the
truth, and we made no effort to supply the lack; now our property is useless. Oh, that we had let
it go, and laid up treasure in heaven!” I saw that a sacrifice did not increase, but it decreased
and was consumed. I also saw that God had not required all of His people to dispose of their
property at the same time; but if they desired to be taught, He would teach them, in a time of
need, when to sell and how much to sell. EW 57.1

◦ Nakuba kungekho lutho eBhayibhelini oluxwayisa ngengcebo, akukho lutho futhi eBhayibhelini
olukhuluma ngokuthi ingcebo ikhulisa ukuzinikela komuntu ekukholweni. Empeleni, okuyingozi
yilokho okuphikisana nalokhu. “Ukuthanda imali, ukufisa ukuceba, yiketanga legolide elibophela
abantu kuSathane.”—Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, p. 44

• Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukulondoloza inala yezinto ezibonakalayo kunomphumela owonakalisayo

ekuphileni kwethu okungokomoya. (EkaJakobe 5:2,3).
 ◦ Ingcebo eqoqiwe ayiyona nje into engenamsebenzi, iyisiqalekiso. Kulokhu kuphila kuwugibe
emphefumulweni, lususa uthando engcebweni yasezulwini. COL 351

◦ Ekuzinikeleni kwethu kuNkulunkulu, kufanele ngempela silahle konke okungasehlukanisa

Naye.... UMamoni uyisithixo sabaningi. Uthando lwemali, ukulangazelela ingcebo, yiketanga
legolide elibabophela kuSathane. SC 44

Mon - Thembani uNkulunkulu, hhayi izinsiza zenu

Thu - Uma Kungasekho Ongathenga noma Athengise

3. Thembela eNkosini (Mon, Thu).

• NgoMsombuluko isifundo , “Themba UNkulunkulu, Hhayi Izinsiza Zenu,”sisebenzisa indaba yokubala
kukaDavide u-Israyeli isibonelo sokuthembela ezintweni zethu. (1 iziKronike 21:1-14).

◦ “Qaphela ukuthi kwakungumqondo kaSathane ukubala amasosha. Walinga UDavide ukuba

athembele emandleni akhe kunokuba athembele kuJehova ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu
ekuzivikeleni kwakhe”

▪ Kuthe uma kufika izikhathi ezilukhuni enkosini uDavide, wavumela uSathane ukuba amlinge,
athembe awakhe amandla nokuhlakanipha.

▪ Ngendlela efanayo, abantu bakaNkulunkulu babengaholelwa ekufuneni ukuphepha impahla

yabo esikhundleni seNkosi.
• IBhayibheli lisitshela ngovivinyo olukhulu lokholo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu izinsuku zokugcina lapho
kukhishwa isimemezelo sokuthi kungabikho abakhona abathembekile kuNkulunkulu bangathenga
noma badayise (IsAmbulo 13:17).

◦ Izindaba zezezimali ngaleso sikhathi zizobe zingasekho ezandleni zethu. Alikho inani lemali
engenayo, ifa, noma ukonga okuzoletha umuntu oyedwa. Ngakho-ke, kufanele sizilungiselele
kanjani isimo esibucayi esinjalo?

◦ “Siyalungiselela manje, ngokwenza isiqiniseko ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ukuthi asizona izigqila

zemali yethu, ezintweni zezwe. Uma singaboshelwe kuzo manje, ngeke kube njalo uma
sithembeke, sekufanele sizilahle”
◦
• Inkosi wasungula uhlelo lokukhipha okweshumi ukuze asifundise ukumethemba okupheleleyo
◦ Nakuba ukwethembeka ekweshumini akusona isiqinisekiso sokuthi abantu bayohlala
bethembekile ekugcineni, labo abangathembekile ekunikeleni okweshumi ngokuqinisekile
bazifaka enkingeni”

ISIPHETHO
Konke esinakho kungokukaJehova, futhi sizolandisa kuYo ngokukusebenzisa esikwenzayo.
Ngokusetshenziswa kwawo wonke amasenti, kuyobonakala ukuthi siyamthanda yini uNkulunkulu
ngokwedlulele kanye nomakhelwane bethu njengoba sizithanda thina. Imali inenani elikhulu, ngoba ingenza
okuhle kakhulu. Ezandleni zabantwana bakaNkulunkulu kungukudla kwabalambileyo, okuphuzwayo
kowomileyo, nezembatho zabanqunu. Kuyisivikelo kwabacindezelwe, kuyindlela yokusiza abagulayo. Kodwa
imali ayibalulekile njengesihlabathi, kuphela njengoba isetshenziselwa ukunakekela izidingo zokuphila,
ekubusiseni abanye, nasekuqhubekiseleni phambili umsebenzi kaKristu. COL 351
