Kufanele baphathwe kanjani abampofu ngokusho kweBhayibheli? Kufanele basebenzele noma yiluphi usizo abalutholayo? Yini eholela ebuphofini?

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zabantu abampofu eBhayibhelini. Uhlobo lokuqala yilabo abampofu ngokweqiniso nabaswele, kaningi ngenxa yabo. Uhlobo lwesibili yilabo abathinteka ubuphofu kepha bangabantu abanamakhono abanobuvila. Kuphakathi kokuthi ngeke basebenze ukuze bangazitholeli imali noma bazokwenqaba nje ukusebenzela futhi nosizo olunikezwayo (bona izaga 6:10 - 11, 10: 4, njll.). Bampofu kakhulu ngokuzikhethela kunangethuba.

Abanye abantu bagcina sebempofu ngenxa yokubhujiswa kwezilimo zabo ngenxa yenhlekelele yemvelo. Umlilo omkhulu ungadala ukulahleka kwekhaya lomndeni nokuziphilisa. Ngemuva kokushona komyeni, umfelokazi angathola ukuthi unemali encane kakhulu futhi awunawo umndeni wokumsiza.

Ngaphandle kwabazali, ingane eyintandane iba mpofu futhi ihlwempu ezimweni ezingaphezu kwamandla ayo. Futhi abanye banobuphofu obubahlula ngenxa yokugula noma ukukhubazeka okubenqabelayo ukwenza imali.

Intando kaNkulunkulu ukuthi sihlakulele inhliziyo yesihawu kwabampofu nabahluphekayo futhi, lapho kungenzeka, sibanikeze izidingo zempilo. Lezi zidingo zihlanganisa ukudla, indawo yokuhlala kanye nezingubo. UJesu wafundisa ukuthi noma isitha sethu sidinga izinto ezibalulekile empilweni, kusamele sisize yena (uMathewu 5:44 - 45).

Isonto lokuqala leTestamente eNtsha lalifuna ukusiza labo abanenhlanhla encane. Umphostoli uPhawuli akagcinanga ngokukhumbula abampofu (Galathiya 2:10) kodwa futhi wakhuthaza nabanye ukuthi benze njalo. Wabhala: "Ngakho-ke, njengoba sinethuba, senza kahle kubo bonke, ikakhulukazi labo abangabendlu yokukholwa" (Galathiya 6: 10).

Umphostoli uJakobe akasho nje ukuthi kungumsebenzi wethu ukusiza labo abampofu, kodwa futhi uxwayisa ngokuthi ukubanikeza izigaba ezingenamsebenzi akwanele (Jakobe 2:15 - 16, bona futhi iZaga 3:27)! Kuchaza ukukhonzwa kweqiniso kukaNkulunkulu njengokubandakanya ukuhambela izintandane nabafelokazi ezinkingeni zabo (Jakobe 1:27).

IBhayibheli lisinikeza izimiso eziphathelene nokuphathwa kwabampofu. Isibonelo, yize uNkulunkulu engakhombisi ukukhetha ngenxa yokuthi othile uswele (u-Eksodusi 23: 3, kwabase-Efesu 6: 9), ukhathazekile ngamalungelo abo. Akafuni noma ngubani, ikakhulukazi abaholi, ukuthi basebenzise ithuba labasweleyo (u-Isaya 3:14 - 15, uJeremia 5:28, uHezekeli 22:29).

Ngabe uNkulunkulu ukubheka ngokungathi sína kangakanani ukuphathwa kwalabo abanenhlanhla encane kunathi? INkosi ibheka labo abahleka usulu ngokuthi bayamthuka, "Lowo ohlekisa ngabampofu ukhuza uMdali wakhe" (Izaga 17: 5).

ETestamenteni Elidala, uNkulunkulu wayala ama-Israyeli ukuthi angabuthi izinkonxa zamasimu abo ukuze abampofu nabangaphandle (abahambi) bakwazi ukuzenzela ukudla. Le kwakuyenye yezindlela iNkosi abafundise ngazo ngokubaluleka kokusiza labo abadinga usizo nokuvula izinhliziyo zabo esimweni salabo abanenhlanhla encane (uLevitikusi 19: 9 - 10, Duteronome 24:19 - 22).

IBhayibheli lifuna sisebenzise ukuhlakanipha lapho sisiza abampofu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi akufanele sibanikeze konke abakucelayo. Labo abathola usizo kufanele balindele (ngokusemandleni abo) ukukulisebenzela futhi bangavele bathole "okuthile ngeze" (uLevitikusi 19: 9 - 10). Abampofu abanamakhono kufanele benze okungenani umsebenzi othile noma akufanele badle! Labo abakwaziyo kepha benqaba ukusebenza akufanele basizwe (2Thessalonike 3:10).

Ngokwebhayibheli, lapho sisiza abampofu akufanele sikwenze ngokunganqikazi. Akufanele futhi sisize ababa nenhlanhla encane ngoba sicabanga ukuthi kufanele sikwenze ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu.Siyaliwe ukuba sinikeze usizo ngenhliziyo evumayo nenomusa (2 KwabaseKhorinte 9: 7).
