EBhayibhelini, ukugcoba ngamafutha kwenziwa emikhosini yenkolo futhi kusetshenziselwa ukuzilungisa

Ruthe 3:3

[3] Ngakho-ke geza, ugcobe, ugqoke isambatho sakho, wehlele esibuyeni, kepha ungazazisi kulowo muntu, aze aqede ukudla nokuphuza.

[3] Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

Mathewu 6:17

[17] Kepha wena, nxa uzila, gcoba ikhanda lakho, ugeze ubuso bakho,

Luka 7:46

[47] Ngenxa yalokho ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe eziningi zithethelelwe, ngokuba uthandile kakhulu; kepha othethelelwa okuncane uthanda kancane.”

ukwelashwa ngemithi

Luka 10:34

[34] waya kuye, wabopha amanxeba akhe ewathela ngamafutha newayini, wamkhwelisa esilwaneni sakhe, wamusa endlini yezihambi, wamgcina.

kanye namasiko okungcwaba Marku 16:1

[1] Selidlulile isabatha, oMariya Magdalena, noMariya unina kaJakobe, noSalome bathenga amakha ukuba beze bamgcobe.

Ukugcoba ngemikhosi eTestamenteni Elidala kwakuyisenzo somzimba esihilela ukugcoba, ukuhlikihla, noma ukuthulula amafutha angcwele ekhanda lomuntu (noma entweni) njengophawu lwangaphandle lokuthi uNkulunkulu wayekhethe futhi wahlukanisa umuntu (noma into) ngenhloso ethile engcwele.

Igama lesiHebheru elithi mashach lisho “ukugcoba noma ukugcoba ngamafutha.” Amafutha asetshenziselwa ukugcoba ngenkolo ayexutshwa ngokucophelela nezinongo ezinhle ngokwendlela ethile echazwe yiNkosi

Exodus 30:22–32

[22] UJehova wakhuluma futhi kuMose, wathi: [23] “Zithabathele amakha amahle, imure* eliphumayo lamashekeli* angamakhulu ayisihlanu, nokinamona* othaphukayo wenxenye yalokho, okungukuthi amakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, nekalamu* elithaphukayo lamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, [24] nekasiya* lamakhulu ayisihlanu ngokweshekeli* lendlu engcwele, nehini* lamafutha eminqumo. [25] Uwenze amafutha angcwele okugcoba amakha athakiweyo njengokwenza komthaki, abe ngamafutha angcwele okugcoba. [26] Wogcoba itende lokuhlangana nomphongolo wobufakazi, [27] netafula nezitsha zalo zonke, nothi lwezibani nezitsha zalo, ne-altare lempepho, [28] ne-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa nezitsha zalo zonke, nomcengezi nesinqe sawo. [29] Wokungcwelisa ukuze kube ngcwele kakhulu; bonke abakuthintayo bayakuba ngcwele. [30] “Wobagcoba u-Aroni namadodana akhe, ubangcwelise ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi. [31] Ukhulume kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Lokhu kuyakuba kimi amafutha angcwele okugcoba ezizukulwaneni zenu. [32] Mawangathelwa emzimbeni womuntu, ningawenzi afana nawo njengokuthakwa kwawo; angcwele, mawabe ngcwele kini.

Ukusebenzisa la mafutha nganoma iyiphi enye injongo kwakuyicala elikhulu elithwala isijeziso “sokunqunywa” emphakathini

Eksodusi 30:33

[33] Yilowo nalowo owathaka anjengawo nalowo owathela kumfokazi uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.’ ”

Amakhosi, abapristi, nabaprofethi bagcotshwa ngamafutha ngaphandle ukuze bafanekise iqiniso elingokomoya elijulile—ukuthi ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu babunabo nokuthi umusa Wakhe wawuphezu kwabo

Psalms 20:6

[6] Kalokhu ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uyamsindisa ogcotshiweyo wakhe: esezulwini lakhe elingcwele uyamphendula ngamandla okusindisa esandla sakhe sokunene.

Psalms 28:8

[8] UJehova ungamandla abantu bakhe; uyinqaba yensindiso yogcotshiweyo wakhe.

[8] The Lord is their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.

Ngesikhathi uDavide esengumalusi osemusha, uNkulunkulu watshela uSamuweli ukuba amgcobe ukuze abe yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli

1 Samuweli 16:3

[3] Mbize uJese ekuhlabeni; ngiyakukwazisa ukuthi uyakwenzani: uyakungigcobela lowo engiyakumusho kuwe.”

Kusukela ngalolo suku kuqhubeke, uMoya weNkosi wahlala ngamandla empilweni kaDavide

1 Samuweli 16:13

[13] USamuweli wayesethatha uphondo lwamafutha, wamgcoba phakathi kwabafowabo; uMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kukaDavide ngamandla, kusukela kulolo suku kuya phambili. Wayesesuka uSamuweli, waya eRama.

IHubo 89:20

[20] Ngifumene inceku yami uDavide, ngimgcobile ngamafutha ami angcwele.

Emakhulwini eminyaka ngaphambi kwesikhathi sikaDavide, iNkosi yayiyale uMose ukuba angcwelise u-Aroni namadodana akhe ukuba bakhonze njengabapristi

Exodus 28:41

[41] Wembathise zona u-Aroni umfowenu namadodana akhe, ubagcobe, ubahlukanisele, ubangcwelise ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

Exodus 30:30

[30] “Wobagcoba u-Aroni namadodana akhe, ubangcwelise ukuba bangikhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

Levitikusi 8:30

[30] UMose wayesethatha amafutha okugcoba, negazi elalise-altare, wafafaza ngalo u-Aroni nezambatho zakhe, namadodana akhe kanye naye, nezambatho zamadodana akhe, wangcwelisa u-Aroni nezambatho zakhe, namadodana akhe kanye naye, nezambatho zamadodana akhe.

Levitikusi 10:7

[7] Ningaphumi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, funa nife, ngokuba amafutha okugcoba kaJehova aphezu kwenu.” Benza-ke njengezwi likaMose.

UNkulunkulu waqinisekisa inkonzo yabo yobupristi ngenkazimulo yomlilo yobukhona Bakhe eyadla iminikelo yabo. Izinto ezingcwele, kuhlanganise netabernakele ngokwalo, nazo zahlukaniswa noma zangcweliswa ngokugcotshwa ukuze zisetshenziswe ekukhulekeleni nasemikhosini yemihlatshelo (Genesise 28:18; Eksodusi 30:26–29; 40:9–11).

IBhayibheli liqukethe ukubhekisela okungokoqobo ekugcotshweni komprofethi lapho iNkosi iyala u-Eliya ukuba agcobe u-Elisha njengomprofethi ozongena esikhundleni sakhe (1 AmaKhosi 19:16). Lihlanganisa nokubhekisela okungokomfanekiso ekugcotshweni okubonisa ukuthi abaprofethi babenikwe amandla futhi bavikelwe nguMoya weNkosi ukuze benze ubizo lwabo (1 IziKronike 16:22; IHubo 105:15).

Ukugcoba ikhanda ngamafutha kwakuyisiko lasendulo lokungenisa izihambi eliboniswa izivakashi ezihloniphekile. KumaHubo 23:5, iNkosi uDavide iziveza njengesimenywa esihlonishwayo etafuleni leNkosi. Lo mkhuba wokugcoba isivakashi sakusihlwa ngamafutha uvela emaVangelini (Luka 7:46; Marku 14:3–9; Johane 12:3).

ETestamenteni Elisha, uJesu Kristu uzembula njengeNkosi yethu egcotshiwe, uMpristi, noMprofethi. UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu eNgcwele nekhethiwe, uMesiya. Eqinisweni, uMesiya, okusho ukuthi “ogcotshiweyo,” ususelwa egameni lesiHebheru elisho “ogcotshiweyo.” UKristu (ngesiGreki uChristos) usho “ogcotshiweyo.”

UJesu wamemezela ekuqaleni kwenkonzo Yakhe, “UMoya weNkosi uphezu kwami, ngoba ungigcobile ukuba ngishumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu . . . ukumemezela inkululeko kwababoshiweyo nokuvulwa kwamehlo kwabayizimpumputhe, ukukhulula abacindezelweyo” (Luka 4:18; bheka u-Isaya 61:1). UJesu Kristu wagcwalisa isiprofetho seTestamente Elidala njengoGcotshiweyo, uMesiya okhethiwe (Luka 4:21). Wafakazela ukugcotshwa Kwakhe ngezimangaliso azenza kanye nokuphila azidela njengoMsindisi wezwe (IzEnzo 10:38).

Kukhona futhi umqondo lapho amaKristu namuhla egcotshiwe. NgoJesu Kristu, amakholwa athola “ukugcotshwa okuvela koNgcwele” (1 Johane 2:20). Lokhu kugcotshwa akuvezwa emcimbini wangaphandle kodwa ngokuhlanganyela esiphweni sikaMoya oNgcwele (Roma 8:11). Ngesikhathi sokusindiswa, amakholwa ahlala ngaphakathi kukaMoya oNgcwele futhi ahlanganiswe noKristu, oGcotshiweyo. Ngenxa yalokho, sihlanganyela ekugcotshweni Kwakhe (2 Korinte 1:21-22). Ngokusho kwesinye isazi, lokhu kugcotshwa “kuveza ithonya lokungcwelisa loMoya oNgcwele kumaKristu angabapristi namakhosi kuNkulunkulu” (Smith, W., “Ukugcotshwa,” Smith’s Bible Dictionary, uhlelo olubuyekeziwe, Thomas Nelson, 2004).

ITestamente Elisha liphinde lihlobanise amafutha okugcoba nokuphulukisa nomthandazo. Lapho uJesu ethuma abafundi ukuba bayoshumayela ivangeli, “bakhipha amademoni amaningi futhi baphulukisa abantu abaningi abagulayo, babagcoba ngamafutha omnqumo” (Marku 6:13, NLT). UJakobe uyala amakholwa ukuba “abize abadala bebandla ukuba bathandaze phezu kwabo” lapho begula “futhi babagcobe ngamafutha egameni leNkosi” ukuze baphulukiswe (Jakobe 5:14).

Labo abasezindinganisweni zenkolo ze-Charismatic bakhuluma “ngokugcoba” njengento amaKristu angayifuna futhi okufanele ayifune. Kuvamile ngabo ukukhuluma ngabashumayeli “abagcotshiweyo”, izintshumayelo, izinkonzo, izingoma, njll., kanye nokweluleka abanye ukuba “bavule ukugcotshwa kwabo” noma “bahambe ekugcotshweni.” Umqondo uwukuthi ukugcotshwa kuwukuthululwa kwamandla kaNkulunkulu ukuze kufezwe umsebenzi ngogcotshiweyo. Ama-Charismatic athi kukhona ukugcotshwa kwezinkampani kanye nezinhlobo ezahlukene zokugcotshwa komuntu ngamunye: ukugcotshwa okuphindwe kahlanu; ukugcotshwa kwabaphostoli; kanye, kwabesifazane, ukugcotshwa kukaRuthe, ukugcotshwa kukaDebora, ukugcotshwa kuka-Anna, njll. Abanye baze bakhulume “ngogcobo lukaDavide” ezingomeni zomculo—“izinsimbi ezigcotshiwe” zidlalwa nguNkulunkulu uqobo lwakhe ukuze axoshe amademoni futhi athathe ukukhulekelwa ayise ezingeni eliphakeme kunanini ngaphambili. Ukugcotshwa okukhethekile kuthiwa kuvumela umuntu ukuba asebenzise isipho sakhe esingokomoya “ngezinga eliphakeme.” Ama-Charismatic athi ukugcotshwa okukhethekile kwamukelwa “ngokukhulula ukholo lomuntu.”

Iningi lemfundiso ye-Charismatic ngokugcotshwa lidlula lokho okushiwo yimiBhalo. Ekulambeni kwabo izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, ama-Charismatic amaningi afuna okuhlangenwe nakho okusha nokujabulisayo, futhi lokho kudinga ukuthululwa okwengeziwe, ukubhapathizwa okungokomoya okwengeziwe, kanye nokugcotshwa okwengeziwe. Kodwa iBhayibheli likhomba ekugcotshweni okukodwa kukaMoya, njengoba nje likhomba ekubhapathizweni okukodwa: “Kepha nina, ukugcotshwa enakwamukela kuye kuhlala kini” (1 Johane 2:27; bheka futhi 2 Thimothewu 1:14). Le ndima efanayo iphinde iphikise okunye ukungaqondi kahle, okungukuthi, uSathane angase “antshontshe” ukugcotshwa kokholwayo ngandlela-thile. Akudingeki sikhathazeke ngokulahlekelwa ukugcotshwa esikutholile ngoba imiBhalo ithi kuhlala.

Enye imfundiso engavamile mayelana nokugcotshwa kukaMoya “ukugcotshwa kukaMimshach.”       I-Mimshach yigama lesiHebheru elihlobene ne- mashach (“ukugcotshwa”) futhi elitholakala kuphela kuHezekeli 28:14, lapho ukugcotshwa kuthiwa “kumboza” (NKJV) noma “ukumboza nokuvikela” (AMP). Ngokusho kwabanye, ukugcotshwa kukaMimshach (okwanikezwa uLusifa ngaphambi kokuwa kwakhe) kuyatholakala manje kumakholwa. Ukwamukela lokhu kugcotshwa kuzokwenza konke umuntu akuthinte kwande noma kwande, futhi ogcotshiweyo uzothola amazinga aphezulu empumelelo, inzuzo yezinto ezibonakalayo, impilo, namandla.

Esikhundleni sokuphishekela ukugcotshwa okusha, amakholwa kufanele akhumbule ukuthi kakade anesipho sikaMoya oNgcwele. UMoya awunikezwa ingxenye, akezi ngezingxenye noma ngezilinganiso, futhi akasuswa. Sinesithembiso sokuthi “amandla akhe aphezulu asinike konke esikudingayo ukuze sibe nokuphila kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu ngokumazi kwethu owasibiza ngenkazimulo nobuhle bakhe” (2 Petru 1:3).
