Imibuzo mayelana leminikelo:

• Kungani kufanele siphe ngeminikelo?

  • Ukupha umnikelo kuNkulunkulu kuyisenzo sokuzithandela, akusona isibopho ( IHubo 54:6 ). Nokho, ukungaphi umnikelo kukhangelwa njengokuntshontsha nguNkulunkulu ( Malaki 3:8 ).

  • Kuyini okufanele kube yisisusa sethu lapho sisipha iminikelo yethu?

• Kufanele siphe okunganani?

  • Ukupha umnikelo kuyisenzo sokubonga ngezibusiso esizitholileyo. Ngakho-ke, kulengqondo ukuthi iminikelo kufanele ilingane lezibusiso.

  • Kambe lokho kunga kutsho ukuthi sihlawula uJehova ngezibusiso Zakhe ngeminikelo yethu? ( IHubo 116:12-14 NIV )?

  • UDavide wayecace bha. Ngeke sanelise ukuhlaula uNkulunkulu ngezinto asenzela zona. Singasabela kuphela ezibusisweni Zakhe ngokubonga. Sibonisa indlela esibonga ngayo ngokuba lesandla esivulekile emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu nomakhelwane bethu.

  • Lapho siphana, sisusa nobugovu ezinhliziyweni zethu. Ukunikeza iminikelo eNkosini kuwumsebenzi wobuKristu onemiphumela engokomoya neyokuziphatha. Utsho ziphi?.

Ngale kwemiphumela yenotho:

• Isenzo sokukhonza.

  • Ngezikhathi zeTestamente Elidala, akekho owayengakhonza uNkulunkulu “engelalutho” ( Duteronomi 16:16 ); okungukuthi, ngaphandle komnikelo.

  • Ukunikela ngeminikelo yethu kuyingxenye yezinhlelo zethu zokukhulekela ezihlangene, njengomculo, ukushumayela, noma ukutadisha iBhayibheli.

  • Singasebenzisa imali noma amathuluzi edijithali ukuze sinikeze iminikelo yethu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sikwenza kanjani, sikhonza Lowo osinike konke.

• Indlela uNkulunkulu ayibona ngayo iminikelo.

  • UJesu wayebukele indlela ‘abaningi ababecebile ababefaka ngayo okuningi’ ebhokisini lomnikelo. Khona-ke, umfelokazi ompofu wanikeza izinhlamvu zemali ezimbili kuphela (cishe ingxenye eyodwa/64 yomholo wosuku). Kungani uJesu athi unikele ngaphezu kwaloba yiwuphi omunye ( Marku 12:41-44 )?

  • UNkulunkulu uyazazisa izisusa zalowo onikelayo. Umfelokazi wayelangazelela ukubambisana emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu futhi wamnika konke ayelakho.

  • UNkulunkulu ubuye acabangele izenzo zethu zomusa kulabo abaswele, njengasendabeni kaKorneliyu (Izenzo 10:1-4). UNkulunkulu wabheka iminikelo kaKorneliyu njengomfanekiso wendlela ayemthanda ngayo uNkulunkulu nomakhelwane bakhe.

Iminikelo ekhethekile.

• Indaba kaMariya Magdalena:

  • Umnikelo kaMariya wawukhethekile ngezindlela ezimbili ( Marku 14:3-5 ): akazange akhiphe imali, futhi izindleko zazinkulu (zilingana nomholo wezinyanga ezingu-10).

  • UNkulunkulu wamukela ezinye izinto ngaphandle kwemali njengomnikelo. Singanikela ngezinto ezidingekayo ngenjongo ethile, umzamo wethu kanye nesikhathi…

• Indaba kaJosefa uBarnaba:

  • UBarnaba wapha umnikelo okhethekileyo. Wathengisa indawo wanikela ngayo yonke. Waba yisibonelo sokupha kwabanye (Izenzo 4:34-37).

  • Kunezindawo eziningi zesonto emhlabeni wonke ezanikelwa ngabantu ababewushisekela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kangangokuthi banikela ngempahla yabo.
