Mharidzo: Ndinoshaiwa munhu

Scripture reading: Johani 5:1-9

Pane mimwe mibvunzo inongoda mhinduro yekuti Yes or No, but vazhinji vanotadza kupindura mibvunzo iyi. They try to explain zvisina kubvunzwa because they feel like kana akangopindura kuti YES kana kuti NO it’s not enough kugutsa munhu amubvunza. “Wakarara pamba here musi weFriday, Yes or No?” instead yekuti munhu ati hongu kana kuti kwete anotanga kuti “problem yakaitika ndeyekuti ndakashaya combi  saka ndakazoenda kumba kwana John”.


Ndiyo tsika dzevazhinji, they try to explain zvisina kubvunzwa. There is a man akazviita muBible, aive achirwara for 38 years then Jesu anosvika paari omubvunza kuti unoda here kupora? This was a simple question yaidawo a simple answer, either kuti Yes ndinoda kupora or No handidi kupora, but  murume uyu anoti “ndinoshaya munhu angandiwisira mudziva kana mvura yobvongodzwa”

Pamhinduro yemurume uyu ndipo patinowana musoro weMharidzo wedu wekuti “Ndinoshaya munhu”

Here is the background of the story, muguta reJerusalem paiva nedziva remvura rainzi muchiHebheru Betsaida. Around this pool pakanga pavete vanhu vazhinji vairwara namapofu, nezvirema, navakawonyana, [vakamirira kubvongodzwa kwemvura. Nokuti mutumwa (an angel) waiburukira mudziva iro neimwe nguva, achibvongodza mvura; zvino uyo waitanga kupinda mumvura yabvongodzwa waiporeswa, kunyange akanga akabatwa nokurwara kupi nokupi. Jesu ndipo paanosvika panzvimbo iyi ndokuona  mumwe munhu, wakanga abatwa nokurwara for 38 years. Jesu wakati aona munhu uyo avete pasi, he knew that he had been in that condition for a long time, ndipo paanomubvunza kuti: Unoda kuporeswa here?. Murwere akamupindura, akati: “Ishe, ndinoshaiwa munhu unondiwisira mudziva, kana mvura ichibvongodzwa; asi ndinoti kana ndoenda. Mumwe wonditangira kupinda.”

This man has a problem yehurwere, but pamusoro peProblem yake aita imwe problem yekusaziva kuti problem yake yekutanga inogadziriswa sei. Im saying, problem yake ndeyekurwara for 38 years and solution yacho its healing but iye aita imwe problem yekushaya munhu anomupusher kuti awire mumvura kana ichinge yabvongodzwa, yet that is not the main problem yekushaya munhu anomuPusher, his main problem haizi yekushaya munhu anomupusher but ndeyekushaya healing. Ukatadza kuziva solution to your problem unogumisira wazvigadzirira mamwe maProblems hobho but uchisiya the main issue, uchisiya the root problem.

paBetsaida apa pataurwa neBible kunzi pakanga paine vanhu vazhinji, KJV rinoti there was a great multitude but ipo paGreat multitude ipapo this man akashaya munhu mumwe chete wekuti amupushire mumvura nechikonzero chekuti great multitude iyi yaivawo yakazara nevarwere, they had their own issues to deal with, vaitodawo kupora. Rega ndikuudze kuti in this life, people have their own issues to deal with, vanhu vane nyaya dzavo dzirikuvanetsa and apa ndipo paunoisa faith mune munhu kuti haa nhingi will help me, iye nhingi wacho ane zvake zvirikutomunetsa. Urikutarisira kupihwa mari naNhingi, very sorry kukuudza kuti munhu wawakathemba iyeye atorine zvikwereti zvinopfuura zvauri kuda kuCover iwewe, you expect kuti the pastor will pray for you, very sorry to tell you kuti pastor vatorine dzavo nyaya dzavari kutambudzika nadzo muPrayer.

Pakazara vanhu paBethsda but kunyangwe pakazara vanhu this man could not find anyone to help him nechikonzero chekuti each one had his own issues to deal with. You can be lonely in a crowd, its very possible. Saka the sooner you remove faith yako muvanhu the better, rega kuisa faith yako muvanhu asi muna Mwari. Psalms 118:8 yobva yati  says It is better to trust in the Lord than put confidence in man

Unoda kupora here, that was the question and murume akati Ndinoshaiwa munhu …..vazhinji ukavabvunza a simple question like unoda basa here instead yekuti yes or no anoti “Ndinoshaiwa munhu wandinoziva anopinza vanhu mabasa” faith yake iri mumunhu anotarisira kuti vanhu vamupe basa but kana zviri zvaMwari haana shuwa kuti vangamupe basa. unoda here kupora “Ndinoshaiwa mupoofita angandinamatire kuti ndipore” faith yake iri munaProphet, haana shuwa kuti God can heal him without the involvement yeumwe munhu. Unoda here kutora drivers license “Ndinoshaiwa munhu wandinoziva kuVID”. Sei uchifunga kuti rubatsiro rwako riri muvanhu and not kuna Mwari. ndinofarira Psalms 121:1-2 iyo inoti  Ndichasimudzira meso angu kumakomo; Kubatsirwa kwangu kuchabvepiko? Kubatsirwa kwangu kunobva kuna Jehovha, Wakaita kudenga napasi.



Handirambe kuti God can work through people kuti vakubatsire paProblem yako but kunyangwe zvakadaro, your faith must not be in people but it must be in God. kana uchiisa faith muvanhu wafanana nemunhu anoenda kumba kwehama yake aine tarisiro kuti achabikirwa tea neTeapot on its own, instead yekutarisira kuti hama yako ndiyo ichabika tea ndiye achakubikira tea. Unogona kuisa faith muTeapot ukadzoka uine nzara nekuti teapot on its own haigone kubika tea, but kana ukaisa tarisiro mune anobika tea then unoipihwa. We as humans we are just like teapots, kana pasina mubiki weTea anova Mwari hapana anomwa tea yacho. Ukaisa faith yako mumunhu as long as pasina Mwari hapana chinobuda.

ndinoshaiwa munhu unondiwisira mudziva, kana mvura ichibvongodzwa. This man aitarisa push kubva kuna someone but push haina kuuya. Instead Jesu anoudza murume uyu kuti “Simuka, Tora nhovo dzako, ufambe”. Shasha yaitarisira push, manje Jesu haana kuuya nepush, instead auuya neshoko, sometimes the help we expect haisi riyo inouya naJesu. handiti urikutarisira kuti sekuru vako vanoshanda kuEconet ndiwo vachakurongera basa, handiti urikutarisa kuti mukoma vari diaspora ndiwo vachakutumira mari, handiti urikutarisira kuti muporofita uye kana adzoka kuNigeria ndiye achakubatsira panyaya dzako, handiti urikutarisira kuti tete ndivo vachakuyananisai nemurume wako, wakatirisa kuti maPoliticians ndiwo achagadzirisa zvanetsa munyika, you are expecting kuti lawyer rako ndiro richagadzirisa nyaya dzirikunetsa, manje rega ndikuudze kuti maitiro aMwari akasiyana nemaitiro edu vanhu. Murume uyu aitarisira push but Jesu haana kuuya nePush, instead akauya neshoko rekuti simuka tora nhovo dzako ufambe.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV) yobva yati "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Jesu haana kupushira murume uyu mumvura but akamupa shoko nekuti iro shoko ndiro rine simba kupfuura anything. Nekuti iro shoko ndiro rakaita kuti  nyika ino iveko, Mwari vakasika nyika kubudikidza nekutaura shoko ravo. Mubvunzo wouya kunewe uri muProblem kuti are you feeding pashoko raMwari or wakamirira kuti ubatsirwe nevanhu? Kudai tadzidza kubva pashoko let us put our hope in Jesus Christ, tirege kuvimba nevanhu nekuti hakuna hukama/friendship/ connection yauchaita nevanhu ingapfuure kuva connected naMwari. handina kuti cheka hukama nevanhu but ndati faith yako ngairege kuva muvanhu asi muna Mwari.

Hauna munhu anokuwisira mudziva kana mvura yobvongodzwa, but Jesu unaye here? vamwe vanoti havana munhu anovapushira mumvura and havana futi Jesu wacho. Wabva waita mufakose? Rega kushaya Jesu muhupenyu hwako.
