Abheri wakaziva sei zvaidiwa kuti azobayira Mwarichibayiro kwacho? Nokutenda akagamuchira chizarurocheropa.

Ndati Bhuku raZvakazarurwa iri chizaruro chaJesunezvaAri kuita mumakereke munguva yamazera manomweawa amakereke. Chizaruro nokuti vadzidzi chaivo, pachavo,vakanga vasingazivi chokwadi chose ichi chakanyorwa.Chakanga chisati chambozarurwa kwavari. Unorangarira kutimuna Mabasa vakaMuvhunza vachiti, “Ishe Munodzosera ushekuna vaIsraeri nenguva ino here?” Iye akati, “Hazvinakufanira kuti muzive nguva kana misi.” Varume ivava vakangavachiri kufunga nezvokuti Jesu uchawana umambohwapanyika. Asi hwaiva umambo hwomweya hwaAkangaachizovaka. Kana Iye pachake haana kukwanisa kuvataurirazvaAizova muumambo uhwu, nokuti zvakanga zvisatizvazarurwa kwaAri naBaba. Asi mushure mokufa nokumukakwaKe, uye panguva iyi mubasa raKe rokuva mumiririri, Avakugona kuisa pachena pano muchizaruro chaKe kuna Johanekuti kuhwinya nokuvapo kwaKe kucharevei uye kutikuchaitei.

Muchizaruro ichi Anotitaurira zvamagumo asatani.Anotitaurira zvaAchaita kuna satani zvokuzomukanda muviraromwoto. Anoisa pachena magumo aavo vanotevera Satani.Izvi Satani anozvivenga.

Wati wamboona here kuvenga kunoita Satani mabhukumaviri eBhaibheri kudarika mamwe mabhuku ose?Achishandisa vanodzidza nezvamwari vane pfungwadzakasununguka pamwe chete navanonyepedzera vesainzisatani anogarorwisana neBhuku raGenesisi neBhukuraZvakazarurwa. Mumabhuku awa ari maviri tinowanamavambo aSatani, namabasa ake akaipisisa nokuzoparadzwakwake. Ndicho chikonzero achimarwisa. Anovenga kuisirwamabasa ake pachena, mumabhuku awa zvaari chaizvoizvozvinoiswa pachena. Jesu akati pamusoro paSatani, “Haanamugove maNdiri neNivo handina changu maari.”Dhiyabhorosi anoda kutaridza kuti izvi handizvo; asi

Regai ndimbopinza shoko rimwe chete pano kubvamushumiro yangu, mundiregererevo. Mose munoziva kutichipo ichi chiri mandiri ndechomweya. Chipo chinoita kutiMweya Mutsvene ugone kuziva zvirwere, nezvinofungwanavanhu, nezvimwe zvakavanzika zvinokwanisa kuzikanwanaMwari chete uchizviziviswa kwandiri. Ndinoshuva kuti daimaikwanisa kumira neni kuti muone zviso zvavanhu apoSatani anenge aona kuti ava kuzofumurwa. Apa, handizikureva vanhu. Chiripo ndechokuti Satani akabata upenyuhwavo nokuda kwechivi, nokushaya hanya, nourwere. Asi daimaimboona zviso zvavo. Satani anoziva kuti avakuzofumurwa, apa ndipo panouya shanduko inokatyamadzapauso hwavanhu. Satani anotya. Anoziva kuti MweyawaMwari wava kuzozivisa vanhu mabasa ake. Ndosakaachivenga misangano ino zvakadai. Panodaidzwa mazitanokuzivisa zvirwere, Satani anozvivenga. Ko chii ichi? Hakuzikufembera zviri mupfungwa dzomunhu, kana kufungira, kanauroyi. KUZARURIRWA noMweya Mutsvene. Ndiyo chete nzirayandinokwanisa kuziva izvi nayo. Ichokwadivo kuti pfungwadzenyama dzinopa rimwe zita pazviri risiri Mweya Mutsvene.

Regai ndikuudzei chimwe chikonzero chinoita kuti Sataniavenge Bhuku raZvakazarurwa zvaJesu Kristu muchechi.Anoziva kuti Jesu Kristu mumwe chete zuro, nanhasi,nokusingaperi, uye haAshanduki. Anoziva izvi zvakanyanyakudarika zvinoitwa navanodzidza nezvamwari vano uwanduhunosvika zvikamu makumi mapfumbamwe muzana rogaroga. Anoziva kuti sezvo Mwari asingashanduki unhu hwaKe,nokudaro haAshandukivo maitire aKe.

Zvinotofanira kudaro.

Tonderai izvi. Kristu muChechi yeChokwadi kuendereramberi kweBhuku raMabasa. Asi Bhuku raZvakazarurwarinotaridza mauyire achaita mweya waantikristu muchechinokuzoisvibisa, nokuiita kuti ingodziya chete, ichitevedzazvirongwa nokushaya simba.

Kana vanhu vakawana chizarurochechokwadi chemweya miviri yakaputirwa mukati mechechiyaKristu, nokunzvera nokupikisa mweya waantikristuvachishandisa Mweya waMwari, Satani anozoshaya simbapachechi iyi.

Kana tine chizaruro chechokwadi muupenyuhwedu, masuvo ehadhesi haagoni kutikunda, asi kutotitinoakunda isu.

Munorangarira kuti pamavambo pemharidzo inondakambotaura kuti Bhuku rino ratiri kudzidza chizarurochaicho chaJesu, pachaKe, muchechi uye mabasa aKemumazera aizouya. Ndakazotauravo kuti zvinotoda MweyaMutsvene kutipa chizaruro nokuti pasina izvi tinokundikanakuchiwana.

Ndiye Mwari Baba, Mwanakomana, uyeMweya Mutsvene. Ndiye zvose izvi.

Baba, Mwanakomana, uye Mweya Mutsvene anongovamadunhurirwa chete. Haazi mazita. Ndosaka tichibhabhatidzamuZita raShe Jesu Kristu, nokuti iri ndiro zita, kwetedunhurirwa.

Kune zvuru nezvuru zvavanhu vanonzi vanaJesu pasi pose kwaitova navamwe kutangira Jesu, Muponesiwedu. Asi kuno mumwe chete chete pakati pavo akaberekwaari Kristu, “Ishe Jesu Kristu”.

Vanhu vanotaura pamusoro paJesu vachiti Mwanakomanaasina Mavambo waMwari. Ko zvino uku handi kutaurazvinorwisana here? Ndiani wakambonzwa nezvokuti‘Mwanakomana’ asina mavambo? Vanakomana vanamavambo, asi chinogara nokusingaperi hachina mavambo.Ndiye Mwari Ziendanakuenda (Jehovha) anoratidzwamunyama.

MuEvhangeri raJohane zvinonzi, “Pakutanga Shokorakanga riripo Shoko rakanga riri kuna Mwari, Shoko rakangariri Mwari. Shoko rakava nyama rikagara pakati pedu”.Wakanga ari Chapupu chaZvokwadi uye chapupuChakatendeka kuShoko raBaba risina magumo.

Mwari ane madunhurirwa akawanda anoti: ‘UtsveneHwedu’, uye ‘Rugare Rwedu’, uye ‘Unogara Aripo’, ‘Baba’, uye‘Mwanakomana’, uye ‘Mweya Mutsvene’; asi Anongova nezitarimwe chete somunhu zita iri rinonzi Jesu.

Asi ngatirege kugumira ipapo. Verengai zvino munaZvakazarurwa 3:21 munonzi, “Unokunda Ndichamupa chinhuichi kuti agare neNi pachigaro chaNgu choushe, senivondakakunda, ndikagara pamwe chete naBaba vaNgu pachigarochaVo choushe.” Verengaivo vaHebheru 12:2 inoti, “Tichitarirakuna Jesu Muvambi noMukwanisi wokutenda kwedu; Iyewakatsunga pamuchinjikwa nokuda kwomufaro wakaiswapamberi paKe, akasatya kunyadzisa kwawo, akandogarakurudyi rwechigaro choushe chaMwari.” Cherechedzai kutikana tichitevedzera zvinotaurwa naJesu, pachaKe, anovaNdiye wakanyora Zvakazarurwa, Wakagara NAMwari Baba.Mweya uri muna Pauro (Unova Ndiwo Mweya waKristu,nokuti Ndiwovo Mweya woKuprofita kunounza Shoko) unotiWakagara paRUDYI rwaMwari.

Chii ichi? Ndicho chishamiso cha“MWARI MUMWECHETE.” Iye (Jesu), akabva kuna Mwari, akaratidzwamunyama, akafa akamukazve, akazodzokera “PachifuvachaBaba.” Sokutaura kwakaita Johane achiti, “Mwanakomanawakaberekwa ari mumwe woga Uri PAchifuva chaBaba, ndiYewakaMuzivisa isu.” Johane 1:18.

Vanhu vaiziva kuti MuProfita. Vaiziva chiratidzochaMhesiyasi chaingogona kuunzwa chete nomuprofita.Johane 1:44-51 inoti, “Firipo wakanga ari weBhetsaidha, gutaraAndreasi naPetro. Firipo akawana Nhatanaeri, akati kwaari,Tamuwana Iye, wakanyorwa, zvaKe naMosesi pamurairo,

Apo mukadzi waiva patsime paakaMunzwa achizivapfungwa dzomwoyo wake akaMurumbidza achiti muprofita,akataura achiti Mhesiyasi uchazihwa nokuda kwesimba guruiri. Johane 4:7-26 inoti, “Zvino mumwe mukadzi weSamariaakasvikapo kuzochera mvura: Jesu akati kwaari, NdipeivoNdimwe. (Nokuti vadzidzi vaKe vakanga vaenda mugutakundotenga zvokudya).

Zvakazarurwa 15:3 inoti, “Vakanga vachiimba rwuyorwaMosesi muranda waMwari, norwuyo rweGWAYANA,vachiti, Ishe Mwari waMasimba ose; mabasa eNyu Akakuraanoshamisa; Mambo WaMarudzi, nzira dzeNyu dzakaruramandedzazvokwadi.” Muri kuzviona here izvi?

Vakati vazvinzwa izvozvo, vakabhabhatidzwamuZita raShe Jesu. Zvino Pauro wakati aisa maoko akepamusoro pavo, Mweya Mutsvene wakauya pamusoro pavo;vakataura nendimi vakaporofita.” Hezvo. Vanhu vakanaka avapaEfeso vakanga vanzwa pamusoro pokuuya kwaMhesiyasi.Johane wakanga aMuparidza. Vakabhabhatidzirwakutendeuka pazvivi, vachitarisira KUZOtenda muna Jesu. Asi

O-o, vadikanwi ava vaiva paEfeso vaiva vanhu vakanakazvikuru; uye kana paiva nomunhu waikodzera kuti anzwekuva wakachengeteka, ndivava. Tonderai kuti vakanga vabvakure kwakadii.

Wakanga atouya akaenda.Vakanga vava kutofanira kuti vabhabhatidzwe muZita raSheJesu Kristu. Vakanga vava vachifanira kuti vazadzwenoMweya Mutsvene.

Kana makabhabhatidzwa muZita raShe Jesu Kristu,Mwari achakuzadzai noMweya waKe. Ndizvo zvinotauraShoko. Mabasa 19:6 yataverenga yaiva zadziso yaMabasa 2:38,“Tendeukai, mumwe nomumwe wenyu abhabhatidzwe neZitaraJesu Kristu kuti mukanganwirwe zvivi, mupiwe chipikirwachoMweya Mutsvene.” Maona, kuti noMweya Mutsvene,Pauro, akataura zvakafanana nezvakataurwa naPetronoMweya Mutsvene. Zvakataurwa HAZVIGONEKIkushandurwa. Zvinotosungirwa kuramba zvakadaro kubvapaPentekosti kusvikira panobhabhatidzwa musanangurwawokupedzisira. VaGaratia 1:8 inoti, “Asi kunyange isu, kanamutumwa unobva kudenga, akakuparidzirai imwe evhangeriinopesana neyatinokuparidzirai isu, ngaave wakatukwa.”

Zvino vamwe venyu imi veOneness munobhabhatidzazvisirizvo. Munobhabhatidzira vandudzo sokunge kunyudzwamumvura ndiko kunokuponesai. Kuvandudzwa hakuuyiswinemvura; ibasa roMweya. Munhu wakatumwa noMweyaMutsvene kurayira achiti, “Tendeukai mumwe nomume wenyuabhabhatidzwe neZita raShe Jesu,” haana kutaura kuti mvurainovandudza.

muMagazini reTIME sezvachaiva. “Mudhikoni akasimudzaruoko rwake, ndokubva Publius Decius apinda napamusuvowomunobhabhatidzirwa.

Hongu, dai kwaiva navaMwari vatatu,mungatobhabhatidzirwa zvenyu Baba, uye Mwanakomana,uye Mweya Mutsvene. Asi CHIZARURO CHAKAPIWA KUNAJOHANE chaiva chokuti kuna MWARI MUMWE CHETE uyekuti Zita raKe ndiSHE JESU KRISTU, uye kutimunobhabhatidzira Mwari MUMWE CHETE chete.

Kana Jesu ari ‘ZVIVIRI’ izvi zvinoti Ishe uye Kristu, saka(Jesu), haAngambovi chimwe chinhu chisiri “Baba,Mwanakomana, uye Mweya Mutsvene” muMunhu MUMWECHETE anoratidzwa panyama.

Kana izvi zvisingatiratidzi chizaruro chechokwadichoUmwari, hapanazve chichachitaridza. Ishe HAAZImumwezve munhu; Kristu HAAZI mumwezve munhu. Jesuuyu ndiye Ishe Jesu Kristu_MWARI MUMWE CHETE.


Rimwe zuva Firipi wakati kuna Jesu, “Ishe, tiratidzei Babakuti zvigotiringana.” Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndakava newe nguvarefu asi hauNdizivi? Waona Ini waona Baba, zvino seiko uchiti,Tiratidzei Baba?

Kana usingakwanisi kuwana chizaruro, simudza meso akoutsvake Mwari kuti uwane chizaruro. Ndiyo nzira cheteyaunogona nayo kuchiwana. Chizaruro chinotofanira kubvakuna Mwari. Hachimbofi chakauya nokuda kokukwanisakwenyama, munhuvo zvake, asi nokuda kwokuita koMweya.Unogona kuziva Magwaro ose nomusoro, asi nyangwe zvazvoizvi zvakanakisisa, hazviunzi chizaruro.

MUTUMWA.

Nhume (mutumwa)wekereke yapaEfeso akanga arimuapostora Pauro. Zvokuti akanga ari mutumwa kukerekeyokutanga yenguva yamaHedheni hazvina angaramba.Kunyangwe hazvo Petro akapiwa mvumo yokuzarura mikovakumaHedheni, asi zvakapiwa kuna Pauro kuti ave muapostoranomuprofita wavo. Ndiye akanga ari Muprofita MutumwakumaHedheni. Basa rake rouprofita, rakamupa kutiagamuchire chizaruro chakazara cheShoko rokumaHedheni,ndiro rakamusimbisa pachena kuva muapostora nomutumwawavo. Izvi vamwe vaapostora vakazvibvuma paJerusarema.VaGaratia 1:12-19, “Nokuti handina kuipiwa, kanakuidzidziswa nomunhu, asi ndakairatidzwa naJesu Kristu.Nokuti makanzwa zvomufambire wangu kare pakunamatakwamaJudha, kuti ndaitambudza kereke yaMwari zvikurukwazvo, ndikaiparadza: Pakunamata kwamaJudhandaipfuvura vazhinji vezero rangu parudzi rwangu,ndichinyanya kushingairira tsika dzamadzibaba angu. ZvinoMwari, iye Wakandisanangura kubva padumbu raamai vangu,akandidana nenyasha dzaKe, Wakati afadzwa nazvo kutiaratidze Mwanakomana waKe mandiri, ndiMuparidze pakatipamahedheni; pakarepo handina kurangana nenyama neropa:Handina kukwira Jerusarema kuna avo vakanditangira kuvavaapostora; asi ndakaenda Arabhia, ndikadzokeraDhamasikozve. Ipapo makore matatu akati apfuurandikakwira Jerusarema kundovona Kefasi, ndikagara nayemazuva ane gumi namashanu. Asi handina kuvona mumwewavaapostora, asi Jakobho bedzi munun’una waShe.”VaGaratia 2:2, “Ndakakwira nokuda kwokuratidzwa,ndikarondedzera pamberi pavo Evhangeri yandinoparidzapakati pavaHedheni, asi kuna vakanga vachikudzwa vari voga,kuti zvimwe ndirege kumhanyira pasina, kana kuti zvimwendatomhanyira, pasina.” VaGaratia 2:6-9, “Zvino kana vari ivovanonzi vakuru, (handine mhaka kuti vaiva vakadini kare,hazvina mhosva kwandiri: Mwari haatendi zvinovonekwa


zvomunhu:) kana vari ivo vanonzi vakuru havanakundiwedzera chinhu: Asi ivo, vakati vavona kuti ndakapiwaEvhangeri yavasina kudzingiswa, sokupiwa kwakaitwa Petroyavakadzingiswa: (nokuti Iye Wakapa Petro simba rokuvamuapostora kuna vakadzingiswa, Ndiye wakandipavo simbarokuva muapostora kuvaHedheni:) Vakati vavona nyashadzandakapiwa, Jakobho, naKefasi, naJohane, avo vainzimbiru, vakatibata tose naBharnabhasi namavoko orudyiokuyanana; kuti isu tiende kuvahedheni, ivo kunavakadzingiswa.” VaRoma 11:13, “Ndinotaura kwamuri imivaHedheni, zvandiri muapostora wavaHedheni, ndinokudzabasa rangu.”

Pauro ndiye akatanga kereke paEfeso panguva inengepakati napakati pechuru chamakore chokutanga. Izvizvinotipa kukwanisa kudoma gore chairo pakatangiraChizvarwa cheKereke yeEfeso; kuva 53 A.D.

Maparidziro ake akamisa maitiro, anotarisirwa panhumedzechokwadi dzose hadzo dzaMwari, kunyangwe zvavovasingazosviki paudzamu mukuprofita sezvaiitwa naPauro.Shumiro yaPauro yaiva muhutatu sezvizvi:

Chokutanga, Pauro akanga akatendeka kuShoko zvisinamubvunzo. Hazvinei kuti zvaizorevei kwaari haaisiya Shoko.VaGaratia 1:8-9, “Asi kunyangwe isu, kana mutumwa anobvakudenga, akakuparidzirai imwe evhangeri inopesananeyatinokuparidzirai isu, ngaave wakatukwa.Sezvatakamboreva, zvino ndinorevazve saizvozvo, Kana kunomunhu anokuparidzirai imwe evhangeri inopesana neiyoyamakagamuchira, ngaave wakatukwa.” VaGaratia 2:11, 14,“Zvino Kefasi wakati asvika Antiokia, ndakamudzivisapachena, nokuti wakanga ane mhosva.” “Asi ndakatindichivona kuti havafambi zvakarurama nezvokwadiyeEvhangeri, ndakati kuna Kefasi pamberi pavose, Kana iwe,uri muJudha, uchifamba samaHedheni, usingaiti samaJudha,unoroverera seiko maHedheni kuti vafambe samaJudha?”

1 VaKorinte 14:36-37, “Ko? Shoko raMwari rakabvakwamuri here? kana rakasvika kwamuri moga here? Kanamunhu achiti ndiri muprofita, kana ndiri womweya, ngaatendekuti izvo zvandinokunyorerai murairo waShe.”

Vonai chinhu ichi kuti Pauro akanga asina hurongwahwake, asi aitungamirirwa noMweya, sezvakaita Mwaripaakashandisa Moses kuti atungamirire Israeri kubva Egipita.Haisi kanzuru yeJerusarema yakatuma Pauro, uye yakangaisina simba kana chokutaura pamusoro paPauro. Mwari, uyeMwari chete, ndiye akatuma uye ndiye aitungamirira. Pauroakanga asiri wavanhu, asi waMwari. VaGaratia 1:1 “Pauro,muapostora, (usina kubva kuvanhu, kana kutumwa nomunhu,asi naJesu Kristu, naMwari Baba, WakaMumutsa kuvakafa:)”VaGaratia 2:3-5, “Asi naTito, waiva neni, ari muGiriki, haana


kurovererwa kuti adzingiswe: Nokuda kwehama dzenhemavakanga vapinzwa nokunyanga, vakanga vapinda pakavandakuti vashore kusununguka kwedu kwatinako muna KristuJesu, kuti vatisunge: Hatina kuvatsedukira ivava tichivaterera,kwete, nguva imwe; kuti zvokwadi yeEvhangeri irambeichigara nemi.”

Chepiri, shumiro yake yakanga iri musimba roMweyamutsvene, nokudero yairatidza kuitika pachena kweShokorakataurwa nerakanyorwa. 1 vaKorinte 2:1-5, “Zvino ini, hamadzangu, pakuvuya kwangu kwamuri, handina kuvuyandichikuparidzirai vuchapupu hwaMwari nokunaka,kwamashoko kana kwovuchenjeri. Nokuti ndakatihandingazivi chinhu pakati penyu, asi Jesu Kristu, Iyewakaroverwa pamuchinjikwa. Ndakanga ndiri pakati penyunovutera, nokutya, nokudedera kukuru. Neshoko rangunokuparidza kwangu hazvizaiva namashoko okugombedzeraovuchenjeri, asi nokuratidzwa kwoMweya nokwesimba: Kutikutenda kwenyu kurege kuva muvuchenjeri hwavanhu, asimusimba raMwari.” Mabasa 14:8-10, “Zvino paRistra paigaramumwe murume, wakanga asina simba patsoka dzake,chirema kubva padumbu ramai vake, asina kutongofamba: Iyewakanzwa Pauro achitaura: zvino iye (Pauro) wakatiachimutarisisa, akavona kuti unokutenda kuti ungaporeswa,Akati nenzwi guru, Mira kwazvo netsoka dzako. Iye akavazukaakafamba.” Mabasa 20:9-12, “Zvino pahwindo pakanga pagererimwe jaya rainzi Yutiko, rikabatwa nehope kwazvo: zvinoPauro wakati achingoramba achiparidza, iye akabatwanehope, akawira pasi achibva paimba yechitatu yokumusoro,akasimudzwa afa. Ipapo Pauro akaburuka, akazviwisirapamusoro pake, akamufungatira akati, Musaita bopoto; nokutimweya wake uchiri maari. Akakwira, akamedura chingwa,akadya, akataura navo nguva refu, kusvikira kuchiedza,ndokuenda. Vakavuya nomukomana ari mupenyu,vakanyaradzwa kwazvo.” Mabasa 28:7-9, “Zvino pedyo ipapopaiva neimba yomukuru wechiwi, wainzi Pabhurio; iyewakatigamuchira, akatigarisa zvakanaka mazuva matatu.Zvino, baba vaPabhurio vakanga vavete pasi vakabatwanefivhiri nokubudisa ropa: Pauro akapinda kwavari,akanyengetera, ndokuisa mavoko ake pamusoro pavo,akavaporesa. Izvo zvakati zvaitwa, navamwevo, vechiwivairwara, vakavuya, vakaporeswa.” 2 vaKorinte 12:12,“Zvirokwazvo zviratidzo zvomuapostora zvakaitwa pakatipenyu nokutsungirira kukuru, nezviratidzo, nezvishamiso,namabasa esimba.”

Chetatu, aiva nechibereko chokuratidza shumiro yakeyaakapiwa naMwari. 2 vaKorinte 12:11, “Ndava benzi; imimandiroverera: nokuti ini ndaifanira kurumbidzwa nemi:nokuti handizi muduku napaduku kuvaapostora vanopfuura


vose, kunyangwe ndisi chinhu.” 1 vaKorinte 9:2, “Kana ndisatindiri muapostora kuna vamwe, kunyangwe zvakadarozvirokwazvo ndiri muapostora kwamuri hangu: nokuti imimuri chisimbiso chovuapostora hwangu munaShe.” 2vaKorinte 11:2, “Nokuti ndine godo pamusoro penyu negodoraMwari: nokuti ndakakuwanisai nomurume mumwe, kutindikuisei kuna Kristu semhandara yakachena.” Pauro ndiyeakanga ari nzira yokupinzwa kwamakwai akawandaechiHedheni; akaapa zvokudya, nokuachengeta, kusvikaabereka zvibereko zvokururama agadzirira kusangana naShesechikamu chomwenga wechiHedheni.

Panguva iyo yakapiwa bhuku raZvakazarurwa,tichitevedza zvinotaurwa, Pauro akanga atourairwa Ishe, asiJohane akanga achienderera mberi panzvimbo yaPauro achiitazvaiitwa naPauro chaizvo mushumiro yake. Kufa kwaPauro,bhuku raZvakazarurwa risati rapiwa, hazvirevi kuti handiyeakanga ari nhume kuChizvarwa cheKereke yeEfeso, nokutinhume kuchizvarwa chekereke yoga-yoga, zvisinei nokutianouya nguva ipi kana kuenda nguva ipi, ndiye ane shumiroinodzora chizvarwa ichi kuna Mwari kubudikidza neshumiroinoratidza kuzadziswa kweShoko. Pauro ndiye akanga arimutumwa wacho.

GUTA REEFESO.

Guta reEfeso nderimwe ramaguta makuru matatu eAsia.Raiwanzoitwa guta rechitatu rokutenda kwechiKristu,Jerusarema riri rokutanga, neAntioki riri rechipiri. Raiva gutarizere upfumi. Hurumende yaitonga yaiva yeRoma asi mutaurouri wechiGiriki. Vanyori venhoroondo vanotenda kuti Johane,Maria, Petro, Andrea naFiripo vakavigwa muguta rakanakairi. Pauro, anova akatanga kutenda kwechokwadi muguta iri,akava mufudzi muguta iri kwamakore matatu chete; asipaakanga abva airamba achirangarira boka iri, muminamato,aine hanya naro. Timotio ndiye akava mutariri wokutangawekereke iyi. 1 Timotio 1:1-3, “Pauro, muapostora waKristuJesu nokuraira kwaMwari Muponesi wedu, naIshe Jesu Kristu,Tariro yedu; kuna Timotio, mwana wangu chaiye pakutenda:Nyasha, nengoni, norugare, zvinobva kuna Mwari BabanaKristu Jesu Ishe wedu ngazvive newe. Sezvandakakumbirazvikuru kwauri ini ndichienda Makedhonia, ndinoti usarepaEfeso, kuti uraire vamwe varege kudzidzisa dzimwedzidziso.”

Iro zita rokuti, Efeso, rinoreva zvinhu zviviri, “Kunanga,”uye “Kuneta.” Chikuru chainangwa nechizvarwa ichichakatanga nokuzara kwoMweya Mutsvene, “udzamihwaMwari,” pavaiedza kusvika pakudana kukuru kwaMwari,vakazotanga zvino kuregera mweya wokuneta-neta uchipinda

JESU, MUTUMWA WAKE NAMACHECHI.

Zvakazarurwa 2:1, “Îzvi ndizvo zvinotaurwa naIyeWakabata nyeredzi nomwe muruvoko rwaKe rorudyi,Unofamba pakati pezvigadziko zvomwenje zvinomwezvendarama.” Uyu ndiYe Anotaura kuti, ‘Iyeyu Jesu ndiYeZVOSE Ishe naKristu.’ HoUnoi apa, iye Mumwe Oga IsheMwari waMasimba ose, pasina Iye hapana mumwe. ndiYe ariapa, Muponesi (“^ruponeso runobva kuna Jehovha”, Jona2:9) achifamba pakati pekereke muzvizvarwa zvose zvinomwe.ZvaAiva muchizvarwa chokutanga ndizvo zvaArimuzvizvarwa zvose.

VaHebheru4:12 inoti “Nokuti Shoko raMwari ibenyu, rine simba,rinopinza kukunda munondo unocheka kumativi maviri,rinobaya kusvikira panoparadzana mwoyo nomweya,namafundo nomwongo, rinotonga mifungo nendangarirodzomwoyo.” VaEfeso 6:17 inoti “Torai munondo woMweya iroShoko raMwari.” Zvakazarurwa 19:13 na15a inoti, “Wakangaakapfeka nguvo yakanyikwa muropa: Zita raKe rinonzi ShokoraMwari. Mumuromo maKe makabuda munondo unopinza.”Johane 1:1-3 inoti, “Pakutaga Shoko rakanga riripo, Shokorakanga riri kuna Mwari Shoko rakanga riri Mwari. Ireri(Shoko) pakutanga rakanga riri kuna Mwari. Zvinhu zvosezvakaitwa naYe, kunze kwaKe hakuna kuitwa kunyangechinhu chimwe chakaitwa.” I Johane 5:7 inoti, “Nokuti kunezvitatu zvinopupura zvinoti: Baba, neShoko, noMweyaMutsvene, zvitatu izvi zvinopupura chinhu CHIMWE.”

Zvino tinokwanisa kuona kubatana kwaKe neShoko.NDIYE SHOKO. Ndizvo zvaAri. SHOKO NDIRO ZITA RAKE.

Muna Johane 1:1 umo munonzi “Pakutanga Shoko rakangariripo,” mudzi watinowana dudziro yenzwi rinoti ‘Shoko’nderimwe shoko rinonzi ‘Logos’ rinoreva ‘pfungwa kana kutizviri mumusoro.’ Rinoreva zvinhu zviviri zvinoti ‘pfungwa’ uye‘zvinotaurwa’. Zvino ‘fungwa yataurwa’ ndiro ‘shoko’, ‘kanamashoko’. Zvinoshamisa zvakadini izvi? Johane anoti pfungwayaMwari yakaratidzwa muna Jesu. Paurovo anotaura zvimwechetevo chaizvo muna VaHebheru 1:1-3 inoti, “Mwari,Wakataura kare kuna madzibaba muvaprofita nemigovemizhinji vuye nemitovo mizhinji, zvino pakupedzisirakwamazuva ano wakataura kwatiri muMwanakomana (Logos)waKe, WaAkaita mudyi wenhaka yezvinhu zvose, waAkaitavonaYe nyika; Iye chadzera chokuhwinya kwaKe,nomufananidzo waKe chaIye, unochengeta zvinhu zvosenenzwi resimba raKe, Wakati Apedzisa kunatswa kwezvivi,akagara kurudyi rwoVumambo kudenga.” Mwariwakaratidzwa mukuva munhu kwaJesu Kristu. Jesu akangaari Mufananidzo Chaiwo waMwari. Zvakare muna Johane 1:14munonzi, “Shoko rakazova nyama rikagara pakati pedu.”Mwari zvaari chaizvo zvakaitwa nyama zvikagara pakati pedu.Mukurukuru Mweya-Mwari Asingagoni kusvikirwa nani nanizvake munhu, uyo Asina munhu akambofa akaona kana


kutarisa zvino wakanga ava mutabhernakeri yenyamaachigara pakati pavanhu, achiratidza kukwana kwaMwarikuvanhu. Johane 1:18 inoti, “Hakuno munhu wakatongoonaMwari; Mwari wakaberekwa ari mumwe woga, Uri pachifuvachaBaba, ndiYe wakaMuzivisa isu.” Mwari, Uyo pane dzimwenguva wairatidza kuvapo kwaKe achishandisa gore kanashongwe yomwoto, waikonzera kutya mumwoyo yavanhu;Mwari iyeyu, ane zvaAri pamwoyo pake zvaingoratidzwa chetenechizaruro chamashoko aitaurwa navaprofita, wakavaEmanuweri (Mwari unesu) achizvizivisa pachaKe. Shokorokuti, ‘kuzivisa,’ rinobva mumudzi weshoko rechiGirikiratinowanzodudzira kazhinji setsananguro, zvichirevakutsanangura zvakadzama zvinoisa pachenachena. Izvi ndizvochaizvo zvakaitwa, neSHOKO Benyu, Jesu. Akaunza Mwarikwatiri, nokuti Iye akanga ari Mwari. Akaisa Mwari pachenazvakakwana nokujeka zvokuti Johane akakwanisa kutipamusoro paKe muna I Johane 1:1-3 “Izvo Zvakanga zviripokubva pakutanga, Zvatakanzwa, (Logos kureva zvinotaurwa)Zvatakaona nameso edu, Zvatakatarisa, nezvatakabatanamaoko edu zveShoko roUpenyu; (nokuti Upenyuhwakaratidzwa, tikahwuona, tinopupura, nokukuparidziraiUpenyu Hwusingaperi, Hwakanga hwuri kuna Baba,hwukaratidzwa kwatiri;) Izvo zvatakavona nezvatakanzwandizvo zvatinokuparidziraivo, kuti nemivo muyanane nesu:kuyanana kwedu tinako naBaba, noMwanakomana waKe JesuKristu.” Mwari paakazarurwa zvechokwadi, Akaratidzwamunyama. “Uyo waona Ini waona Baba.”

Zvino kuna VaHebheru 1:1-3 kwatabva tamboti Jesuwakanga ari mufananidzo chaiwo waMwari. Wakanga ariMwari ari kuzviratidza iye pachaKe mumunhu kumunhu. Asipane chimwezve chinhu chokucherechedza mundima idzi,kunyanya ndima yokutanga neyechipiri. “Mwari Wakataurakare kuna madzibaba kuvaprofita nemigove mizhinji uyenemitovo mizhinji, zvino pakupedzisira kwamazuva anowakataura kwatiri muMwanakomana waKe.” Ndinoda kutimucherechedze mumajeni meBhaibheri muchaona kuti munezvimwe zvakagadziridzwa. Shoko rokuti, ‘na’ haiziyo dudzirokwayo. Zvinofanira kunzi ‘Mu’. Kwete, ‘na’. Ndiko kutizvigozoverengwa zvichinzi, “Mwari wakataura karekumadzibaba MUvaprofita achishandisa Shoko”. I Samueri3:21b inoti, “Nokuti Jehovha wakaZviratidza kuna SamueripaShiro neShoko raJehovha.” Izvi zvinobudisa I Johane 5:7zvakakwana kuti, “Mweya neShoko chinhu CHIMWE.” Jesuakaratidza Baba. Shoko rakaratidza Baba. Jesu waiva ShokoBenyu. Mwari ngaArumbidzwe, nhasi Achiri Shoko Benyuiroro.

Jesu paakanga ari panyika Akati, “Hautendi here kutiNdiri muna Baba, naBaba vari maNdiri? Mashoko aNdinoreva


kwamuri, haNdiarevi pachaNgu; asi Baba vanogara maNdiri.Ndivo vanoita mabasa avo.” Johane 14:10. Hezvino panozvakaiswa pachenachena kuti kuratidzwa kwakakwanakwaMwari muMwanakomana kwakaitwa noMweya waigaramaari uchizviratidza muShoko namabasa. Ndizvo chaizvozvatanga tichidzidzisa nguva yose iyi. Apo pachadzokamwenga kuva mwenga weShoko, uchabereka mabasa akaitwanaJesu. Shoko ndiMwari. Mweya ndiMwari. Zvose chinhuCHIMWE. Hapana chimwe chazvo chinogona kushanda kanachimwe pasina. Kana munhu ano Mweya waMwaripachokwadi, anenge ane Shoko raMwari. Ndizvo zvazvakangazvakaita navaprofita. Vaiva noMweya waMwari waigaramavari Shoko ndokuuya kwavari. Ndizvo zvazvakangazvakaita kuna Jesu. MaAri makanga muno Mweya usinamwero Shoko ndokuuya kwaAri. (Jesu akatanga kuita zvinhuzviviri izvi nguva imwe chete zvinoti kuita uye KUDZIDZISA.Dzidziso yangu haizi yaNgu, asi yaBaba VakaNdituma.Mabasa avaapostora 1:1; Johane 7:16.)

Rangarirai zvino, Johane Mubhabhatidzi wakanga arizvinhu zviviri zvinoti muprofita uye nhume yenguva yake.Wakanga akazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene kubva mudumburamai vake. Paakanga achibhabhatidza muJordhani ShokoraMwari (Jesu) rakauya kwaari. Nguva dzose Shoko rinouyakuno uyo wakazadzwa noMweya pachokwadi. Ndichochiratidzo chokuzadzwa noMweya Mutsvene. Ndichochakataurwa naJesu kuti ndicho chichava chiratidzo. Akati,“Ndichakumbira Baba Vagokutumirai mumwe MunyaradziAgogara nemi nokusingaperi. Iwo Mweya wazvokwadi, Uyonyika isingazogamuchiri.” Zvino tava kuziva kuti Chokwadichii. “Shoko reNyu iZvokwadi.” Johane 17:17b. Zvakare munaJohane 8:43 munonzi, “Hamunzwisisi seiko kutaura kwaNgu?nokuti hamugoni kunzwa Shoko raNgu.” Maona here kuti Jesuakati nyika hayaizokwanisa kugamuchira Mweya Mutsvene?Zvakanaka, mundima ino yandichangobva kuverenga,havaizokwanisavo kugamuchira Shoko. Nemhaka yei? NokutiMweya neShoko chinhu chimwe chete, uye kana muine MweyaMutsvene savaprofita, Shoko raizouya kwamuri.Maizorigamuchira. Muna Johane 14:26 munonzi, “AsiMunyaradzi, Unova Mweya Mutsvene, Uchatumwa naBabamuzita raNgu, Iye UCHAKUDZIDZISAI zvose,nokukuyeudzirai zvose, zvaNdakareva kwamuri.” Panozvakare tinowana Shoko richiuya nokuda kwoMweyawaMwari. Zvakare muna Johane 16:13 munonzi “Asi kanaasvika Iye Mweya waZvokwadi (Shoko) Uchakutungamiriraimuzvokwadi yose, (Shoko reNyu izvokwadi), nokutihaAngatauri zvaKe: asi zvaAkanzwa (Shoko raMwari) ndizvozvaAchataura (Shoko) uye Uchakuparidzirai zvichauya.”(Mweya uchiunza Shoko roKuprofita). Ndinoda kutimucherechedze kuti Jesu haana kuti chiratidzo


chokubhabhatidzwa noMweya Mutsvene kutaura nendimi,kana kududzira ndimi, kana kuprofita, kana kuridza mherenokutamba. Wakati chiratidzo chaizova chokuvamuZVOKWADI; kuva muShoko raMwari rezera renyu.Chiratidzo chiri pakugamuchira Shoko iroro.

Muna I VaKorinte 14:37 munonzi, “Kana munhu achitindiri muprofita, kana ndiri womweya, ngaatende kuti izvozvandinokunyorerai murayiro waShe.” Zvino onai izvozvo.Chiratidzo choMweya unogara mukati kwaiva kutendanokuTEVERA zvakapiwa nomuprofita waMwari muzera rakepaanenge achimisa kereke mugwara. Pauro akasungirwa kutiataurire avo vaiti kune chimwe chizaruro, (ndima 36) “Ko,Shoko raMwari rakabva kwamuri here? kana rakasvikakwamuri moga here?” Chiratidzo chomutendi wechiKristuakazadzwa noMweya hakusi kubereka chokwadi (Shoko), asikugamuchira chokwadi (Shoko), uye kuritenda nokuriteerera.

Macherechedza here muna Zvakazarurwa 22:17 kutizvinonzi “Mweya nomwenga vanoti, Uya, _ Naiye unonzwangaati, Uya.” Maona, mwenga unotaura Shoko rimwe cheterorinotaurwa noMweya. Mwenga weShoko uri kuratidza kutiuno Mweya. Muzera rekereke roga roga tinonzwa mashokoawa anoti, “Une nzeve, ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.”Mweya ndiwo unopa Shoko. Kana uno Mweya uchanzwaShoko rezera rako, sezvakangoitavo vaya maKristu vakatoraShoko rezera ravovo.

Maibata here fungwa iyi yandapedzisira kutaura?Ndinodzokorora, zera roga roga rekereke rinogumisiraneyambiro imwe chete. “Une nzeve, ngaanzwe (munhu mumwechete) zvinoreva Mweya kukereke.” Mweya ndiwo unopaShoko.

Johane 8:47 inoti, “Uri waMwari unonzwaMashoko aMwari. Imi hamunzwi nemhaka iyi, nokutihamuzati muri vaMwari.” Vakaramba Shoko (Jesu)naMashoko aKe enguva yavo, asi mbeu yechokwadiyakagamuchira Shoko nokuti vakanga vari vaMwari.Muprofita Isaya 54:13 inoti. “Vana Vako VOSE vachadzidziswanaJehovha.” (Mweya Mutsvene). Jesu akataura zvimwechetezvo muna Johane 6:45. Kuva MUMWE NESHOKOzvinoratidza kuti uri waMwari here uye kuti wakazadzwanoMweya here. Hakuna chimwe chipimo.

Asi chii chinonzi ndimi nokududzira ndimi nezvimwezvipo? Zvinhu zvinoonekwa kana kuratidzwa. Ndizvozvinodzidziswa neShoko. Zviverengei muna I VaKorinte 12:7inoti, “Asi mumwe nomumwe unopiwa KURATIDZWAkwoMweya kuti vose vabatsirwe.” Pauro anozodomazviratidzo izvi.

Kana tichitevedzera nhoroondo hakuna kupera nguva kutifungwa yaBaba noMwanakomana noMweya Mutsveneishandurwe. Satani akavatora chinhanho nechinhanho nguvanenguva kubva muchokwadi.

Zvokuti Ninasi uyu ndiye Nimirodhi womuBhaibheritinogona kuzvitsigira nokuenzanisa nhoroondo nezvakanyorwamuna Genesisi.

Haiginasi anotaura izvi pamusoro pamwari uyuwaizikanwa namazita akasiyana-siyana anoti Bheri, Hermesi,Mekuri namamwe, “Kwamazera akawanda vanhu vaiva pasipehurumende yaJovhu (kwete Jovhu wavaRoma, asi JehovhawavaHebheru anotangira nhoroondo yeRoma) vasina magutauye vasina mitemo, vose vachitaura mutauro mumwe chete.Asi pashure pezvizvi Mekuri (Bheri, Kushi) wakaturikirazvaitaurwa navanhu (panozobva kuti muturikiri anziHermeneutesi) uye ndiye munhu mumwe chete wakaparadzirandudzi.

Zvakazarurwa 3:10 inoti, “Zvawakachengeta shokorokutsungirira kwaNgu, Ndichakuchengetavo panguvayokuidzwa, yodo kuuya panyika yose, kuidza vanogarapanyika”.


Anorevei namashoko okuti “shoko rokutsungirirakwaKe?” VaHebheru 6:13-15 inoti, “Nokuti Mwari pakupikiraAbrahama, wakapika naIye Amene, nokuti wakanga Asinomukuru kwaari waangapika naye, akati, Zvirokwazvonokuropafadza ndichakuropafadza, nokuwanzandichakuwanza.

VaHebheru 11:17inoti, “Nokutenda Abrahama, achiedzwa, wakabayira Isaka:iye wakanga agamuchira kwazvo zvipikirwa (ShokoraMwari) akanga achibayira mwana wake akanga aberekwamumwe woga.” Hezvo: Abrahama akaedzwa PASHUREpokunge agamuchira Shoko reVimbiso.

Ndinogutsikana kuti hakuna zera rakamboziva kuti nhumeyakatumwa kwariri naMwari ndiani, kusiya kwezerarokutanga iro raiva naPauro senhume kwariri. Asi kanairorovo vazhinji havana kumuziva sezvaaiva.

Sakanhume kuZera reRaodhikia rino inotofanira kuva pano ikozvino, nyangwe zvazvo tisati tamuziva nanhasi. Asizvirokwazvo kuchafanira kuva nenguva yaanozikanwa. Zvinondinogona kuratidza izvi nokuti tine Gwaro rinotsanangurashumiro yake.

Chokutanga, nhume iyoyo ichava muprofita. Ichavanenzvimbo yomuprofita. Achava neshumiro yokuprofita.Ichamiswa paShoko chete chete nokuti kana achiprofita kanakuti akawana chiratidzo, nguva yose zvinenge “zvakarerekerakuShoko” uye zvichazadziswa NGUVA DZOSE. Acharatidzwasomuprofita nokuda kwokururamisa kwake. Chiratidzochokuti iye muprofita chinowanikwa muna Zvakazarurwa 10:7inoti, “Asi namazuva enzwi romutumwa wechinomwe kanavodo kuridza, zvakavanzika zvaMwari zvichapedziswasezvaAkaparidzira varanda vaKe, ivo vaprofita.” Zvino munhuuyu, anonzi ‘mutumwa’ muBhaibheri raMambo Jemisi HAAZIwokudenga. Mutumwa wetanhatu akaridza hwamanda, anovawokudenga, ari muna Zvakazarurwa 9:13, uye wechinomweakafanana naye ari muna Zvakazarurwa 11:15. Uyu ari munomuna Zvakazarurwa 10:7 inhume yokuzera rechinomwe uyemunhu, uye ari kuzounza mharidzo kubva kuna Mwari, uyemharidzo iyi neshumiro iri kuzopedza zvakavanzika zvaMwarisokutaurwa kwazvakaitwa kuvaranda vaKe, vaprofita. Mwariari kuzobata nhume yake yokupedzisira somuprofita NOKUTIMUPROFITA. Izvi ndizvo zvakanga zviri Pauro muzerarokutanga, uye zera rokupedzisira, rinayevo. Amosi 3:6-7 inoti,


“Ko hwamanda ingaridzwa muguta, vanhu vakasatya here? Koguta ringawirwa nezvakaipa, Jehovha asina kuzviita here?Zvirokwazvo Ishe Jehovha haangaiti chinhu, Asinakumbozivisa varanda vaKe, vaprofita zvakavanzika zvaKe.”

Makanga muri munguva yokupedzisira apo kutinhirakunomwe kwaJesu kwakauya. Zvakazarurwa 10:3-4 inoti,“Akadanidzira nenzwi guru, seshumba inorira: iye wakatiadanidzira, kutinhira kunomwe kukabudisa manzwi ako.Zvino kutinhira kunomwe kwakati kwareva, ndakangandonyora: ndikanzwa inzwi richibva kudenga richiti, Zarirazvarehwa nokutinhira kunomwe, usazvinyora.” Zvaivamukutinhira uku hapana anoziva. Asi tinofanira kuti tizvizive.Zvino zvinotoda muprofita kuwana chizaruro nokuti Mwarihaana imwe nzira yokuunza nayo zvizaruro zvaKe zvoMweyakusiya kwokushandisa muprofita. Shoko rakagara richingouyanomuprofita uye richangogara richiuya nomuprofita. Kuti uyundiwo murayiro waMwari zviri pachena mukungonzveraGwaro zvishomanana zvisina kana mwoyo wose. Mwariasingashanduki ana maitire asingashanduki anotumamuprofita waKe muzera roga roga pasina kana kushandukapose vanhu pavanenge vatsauka kubva kurayiro yaMwari.Vanhu pamwe navadzidzi veBhaibheri pavanenge vatsaukakubva muShoko, nguva dzose Mwari aituma muranda waKekuvanhu ava (asi kunze kwavadzidzi veBhaibheri) kuitirakugadzirisa dzidziso dzenhema nokutungamirira vanhukudzokera kuna Mwari.

Saka tinoona nhume kuzera rechinomwe ichiuya, uyemuprofita.

Hatizi kungoona chete nhume iyi ichiuya munaZvakazarurwa 10:7, asivo kuti tinowana kuti Shoko rinotaurapamusoro paEria achiuya kutangira kudzoka kwaJesu. MunaMateo 17:10 munonzi, “Vadzidzi vakaMuvhunza vachiti,Vanyori vanotaurireiko vachiti Eria unofanira kutangakuuya?” Zvino Jesu akati, “Zvirokwazvo Eria uchauya hake,avandudze zvinhu zvose.” Kutangira kuuya kwaShe wedu,Eria unosungirwa kudzoka kuzoita basa rokuvandudzanokudzorera mukereke. Izvi ndizvo zvinoreva Maraki 4:5 inoti,“Tarirai Ndichakutumirai muprofita Eria zuva iro gururaJehovha rinotyisa risati rasvika; iye uchadzorera mwoyoyamadzibaba kuvana, nemwoyo yavana kumadzibaba avo, kutiNdirege kuuya ndirove nyika nokutuka.” Hapana zvapozvachose kana kakukahadzika kadikidiki kuti Eriaanosungirwa kudzoka kutangira kudzoka kwaJesu. Ane basarake chairo riri roga raanofanira kupedza kuita. Basa irorindiro rinotaurwa muchikamu chaMaraki 4:6 chinoti“uchadzorera mwoyo yavana kumadzibaba avo.” Chinoita kutitizive kuti iri ndiro basa rake riri roga rakatsaurwa rokuitapanguva iyoyo ndechokuti akatoita kare chikamu chokuti


“uchadzorera mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana,” apo shumiroyaEria yakavapo muna Johane Mubhabhatidzi. Ruka 1:17 inoti,“Uchafamba pamberi paKe noMweya nesimba raEria, kutiadzorere mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana, navasingatererikuuchenjeri hwaVakarurama, agadzirire Ishe vanhuvakamugadzirirwa kwazvo.” Mushumiro yaJohane “mwoyoyamadzibaba yakadzorerwa kuvana.” Tinoziva izvi nokutiJesu akazvitaura. Asi hazvirevi kuti mwoyo yavanayakadzorerwa kumadzibaba avo. Izvi hazvisati zvaitika.Mwoyo yavana venguva yokupedzisira ichadzorerwakumadzibaba ePentekosti. Johane akaita kuti madzibabaagadzirire kuuya kwaJesu kugamuchira vana muboka. Zvinomuprofita wake uyo achawirwa noMweya waEria pamusoropake achagadzirira vana kuti vagamuchire Jesu achidzoka.

Jesu akadaidza Johane Mubhabhatidzi achimuti, Eria.Mateo 17:12 inoti, “Asi Ndinoti kwamuri Eria wakatosvika, asihavana kumuziva, asi vakamuitira pavakada napo.” Chakaitakuti adaidze Johane kuti Eria, ndechokuti Mweya mumwe chetewakanga uri pamusoro paEria wakanga wadzoka pana Johane,Mweya sezvawakanga wamboitazve pana Erisha pashurepokutonga kwaMambo Ahabhi.

Uye nenzirayendarama yake (rangarirai kuti Judhasi ndiye aiva akabatachikwama) achatonga pasi pose, urongwa hwaantikristu uhwuhwuchava muridzi wezvinhu zvose nokuidza kutonga munhuwose.

kuzera rino. Mavari muchava nokuzara kwapaPentekostinokuti Mweya uchadzosera vanhu chaiko kwavakanga varipamavambo. Apa tinoreva “Zvanzi naJehovha.”

Ndiyo “Zvanzi naJehovha” nokuti ndizvo zvinoreva Joere2:23-26 inoti, “Naizvozvo farai, imi vana veZioni, mufarisisemuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu: nokuti Unokupai mudzidzisiwokururama, uye Unokunisirai mvura, mvura yokutanganemvura yokuteverera nomwedzi wokutanga.

Zera raLuther harina kudzoreredzakereke; rakangotanga vandudzo. Zera raHwisiri harinakudzoreredza. Zera rePentekosti harina kudzoreredza. AsiMwari anofanira kudzoreredza nokuti haAkwanisi kurambaShoko raKe. Uku hakusi kumuka kuvakafa kweKereke; ukundiko “Kudzoreredza”. Mwari achatora Kereke kuidzorerachaiko kumavambo apaPentekosti. Zvino cheredzai kutimundima 25 inotitaurira kuti tinodirei dzoreredzo iyi.

Chinozoteverakuuya imvura yokukohwa kana kuti kutenda kwokubvutwa.

Saka panguva ino chaiyo tiri mukuzadzikiswa kwakakwanakwaMateo 24:24 inoti “kuti, kana zvichibvira, vatsausenavasanangurwavo.” Zvino uyu ndiani achaidza kutsausanavasanangurwa chaivo? Mumwe ani, kusiya kwaantikristu ari“muvanhu venhema vakazodzwa” venguva ino yokupedzisira.Ava vanhu venhema vakatouya nechakare “muZita raJesu”vachikambira kuti ndivo vakazodzwa naMwari kuitira nguvayokupedzisira.

Asi nyangwezvakadero vanoparidza ruponeso nedzikinuro nesimba raMwari,sezvakangoitavo Judhasi, neshumiro yaakapiwa naKristu.
