Kuhubiri kwa Kiinjilisti wa CTS · Sehemu ya 2CTS Evangelistic Preaching · Unit 2

Lengo la KujifunzaLearning Goal

Baada ya kujifunza sehemu hii utaweza kueleza waziwazi misingi ya kibiblia ya kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti na kutumia mbinu ya neno kiini — neno kiini likiwa daima nomino ya wingi — ili kujenga mahubiri ya kiinjilisti yenye matokeo. Pia utajifunza jinsi ya kujenga muhtasari wa kimada (wa kideduktivu) pale ambapo mstari mmoja hauna kila hoja ambayo ujumbe wako unahitaji, huku ukiyaweka mahubiri kuwa ya kibiblia kikamilifu na yakielekezwa kwenye uamuzi binafsi wa kumpokea Kristo.After studying this unit you will be able to explain clearly the biblical foundations for evangelistic preaching and apply the keyword approach — with the keyword always being a plural noun — to build effective evangelistic sermons. You will also learn how to construct a topical or deductive outline when a single verse does not contain every point your message needs, while keeping the sermon thoroughly biblical and aimed at a personal decision for Christ.

Biblia Kama Msingi WetuThe Bible as Our Foundation

Biblia nzima ndiyo msingi wa kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti. Kuanzia Mwanzo hadi Ufunuo, Mungu anafunua mpango wake wa kuwaokoa watu waliopotea kupitia nafsi na kazi ya Yesu Kristo. Agizo Kuu katika Mathayo 28:19–20 linatuamuru kuyafanya mataifa yote kuwa wanafunzi, tukiwabatiza na kuwafundisha kuyashika yote ambayo Kristo ameamuru. Uinjilisti si huduma ya hiari iliyoning'inizwa pembeni mwa kanisa; ndilo Agizo lenyewe.The entire Bible is the foundation for evangelistic preaching. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals His plan to save lost people through the person and work of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 commands us to make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all that Christ has commanded. Evangelism is not an optional ministry strung onto the side of the church; it is the Commission itself.

Mfano wa Mitume — Wajumbe kwa Ajili ya KristoThe Apostolic Pattern — Ambassadors for Christ

Mtume Paulo anafupisha moyo wa kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti anapoandika:The apostle Paul summarizes the heart of evangelistic preaching when he writes:

"Basi tu wajumbe kwa ajili ya Kristo, kana kwamba Mungu anasihi kwa vinywa vyetu. Twawaomba ninyi kwa ajili ya Kristo, mpatanishwe na Mungu." (2 Wakorintho 5:20, SUV)"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20, NKJV)

Kwa hiyo kila mahubiri ya kiinjilisti lazima yawe na mizizi katika Maandiko na yalenge lengo lile lile walilokuwa nalo mitume: kuwaita wanaume na wanawake wapatanishwe na Mungu. Mjumbe haubuni ujumbe; yeye hubeba ujumbe wa Mfalme. Hiyo ndiyo heshima na nidhamu ya kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti.Every evangelistic sermon must therefore be rooted in Scripture and aimed at the same goal the apostles had: calling men and women to be reconciled to God. The ambassador does not invent the message; he carries the King's message. That is the dignity and the discipline of evangelistic preaching.

Injili Kama Uweza wa MunguThe Gospel as God's Power

Katika Sehemu ya 8 ya WiseSpeak tuliona kwamba kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti hakuridhiki na maneno ya jumla ya kidini. Kunalenga kuongoka kwa mtu. Injili ni "uweza wa Mungu uletao wokovu kwa kila aaminiye" (Warumi 1:16, SUV). Ndiyo sababu mbinu ya neno kiini kutoka sehemu saba za kwanza za WiseSpeak ni muhimu sana kwa kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti: inatupa njia iliyo wazi na yenye utaratibu ya kutoka kifungu chochote cha Biblia hadi mahubiri yanayodai mwitikio dhahiri.In Unit 8 of WiseSpeak we saw that evangelistic preaching is not satisfied with general religious talk. It aims at conversion. The gospel is "the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16, NKJV). This is why the keyword approach from the first seven units of WiseSpeak is so important for evangelistic preaching: it gives us a clear, systematic way to move from any biblical text to a sermon that calls for a definite response.

Mbinu ya Neno Kiini — MarudioThe Keyword Method — A Review

Mbinu ya neno kiini, kama ilivyofundishwa katika sehemu saba za kwanza za WiseSpeak, ndiyo mbinu ile ile tunayoitumia katika kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti. Tunaanza na kifungu, tunagundua wazo kuu, tunauliza swali la uchunguzi, tunachagua neno kiini, tunaunda somo na lengo, kisha tunajenga muhtasari ulio wazi.The keyword method, as taught in the first seven units of WiseSpeak, is the same method we use in evangelistic preaching. We begin with the text, discover the central idea, ask the probing question, select the keyword, form the subject and objective, and build a clear outline.

Kanuni Mbili Zinazotawala Kila MuhtasariThe Two Rules That Govern Every Outline

Kuna kanuni mbili muhimu ambazo lazima zifuatwe daima:There are two important rules that must always be followed:

1. Neno kiini lazima daima liwe nomino ya wingi.The keyword must always be a plural noun.
2. Kila hoja katika muhtasari lazima iwe umoja (kimoja) wa nomino hiyo ya wingi.Every point in the outline must be a singular of that plural noun.

Hili huyaweka mahubiri kuwa na umoja na rahisi kwa msikilizaji kufuata. Neno kiini ndilo uzi mmoja unaopita katika kila hoja; hoja ni ufunuaji tu, uzi kwa uzi, wa nomino ya wingi ambayo neno kiini linaitaja.This keeps the sermon unified and easy for the listener to follow. The keyword is the single thread that runs through every point; the points are simply the strand-by-strand unfolding of the plural noun the keyword names.

Mihtasari ya Kimada (ya Kideduktivu) na Kwa Nini TunaihitajiTopical (Deductive) Outlines and Why We Need Them

Pale ambapo mstari mmoja hauna kila hoja inayohitajika kwa ujumbe kamili wa kiinjilisti, tunatumia muhtasari wa kimada (wa kideduktivu). Somo kuu hujengwa kuzunguka neno kiini la wingi, na kila hoja ina kifungu chake cha kuithibitisha kutoka Maandiko. Kwa njia hii mahubiri yanabaki ya kibiblia kikamilifu hata pale hoja zinapotoka katika vifungu tofauti. Neno kiini bado linatawala muundo; hoja bado zinabaki kuwa umoja wa neno kiini; jambo pekee linalobadilika ni kwamba sasa tunafikia vifungu kadhaa badala ya kimoja.When a single verse does not contain every point needed for a complete evangelistic message, we use a topical (deductive) outline. The main subject is built around the plural keyword, and each point has its own supporting text from Scripture. In this way the sermon remains thoroughly biblical even when the points come from different passages. The keyword still controls the structure; the points still remain singulars of the keyword; the only thing that changes is that we now reach into several passages instead of one.

Mfano Uliofanyiwa Kazi — "Masharti" ya WokovuWorked Example — "Conditions" for Salvation

Tuseme swali la uchunguzi ni, "Yanipasa nifanye nini nipate kuokoka?" Neno kiini tunalochagua ni "masharti" (nomino ya wingi). Somo linakuwa "Masharti ya Mungu ya Wokovu." Lengo ni, "Kumwongoza kila msikilizaji kutimiza masharti ya Mungu kwa kumwamini Yesu Kristo leo."Suppose the probing question is, "What must I do to be saved?" The keyword we choose is "conditions" (a plural noun). The subject becomes "God's Conditions for Salvation." The objective is, "To lead every listener to meet God's conditions by believing in Jesus Christ today."

Kwa kuwa hakuna mstari mmoja wenye masharti yote, tunajenga muhtasari wa kimada (wa kideduktivu) wenye vifungu vya kuthibitisha:Because no single verse contains every condition, we build a topical (deductive) outline with supporting texts:

Kila hoja ni umoja wa neno kiini la wingi "masharti." Kila hoja inathibitishwa na kifungu chake cha Maandiko kilicho wazi. Mahubiri yote yanabaki na umoja chini ya neno kiini na kumsogeza msikilizaji kuelekea uamuzi dhahiri wa kumpokea Kristo. Neno kiini huyashikilia mahubiri pamoja; hoja ni umoja wa neno kiini hilo; na pale mstari mmoja usipotosha, tunatumia muhtasari wa kimada wenye vifungu vingi vya kuthibitisha. Njia hii huyaweka mahubiri kuwa ya kibiblia, ya kimantiki, na ya kiinjilisti.Each point is a singular of the plural keyword "conditions." Each point is supported by its own clear Scripture text. The entire sermon stays unified under the keyword and moves the listener toward a definite decision for Christ. The keyword holds the sermon together; the points are singulars of that keyword; and when one verse is not enough, we use a topical outline with multiple supporting texts. This approach keeps the sermon biblical, logical, and evangelistic.

Mfano — "Sababu" za Kuja kwa KristoExample — "Reasons" to Come to Christ

Mfano — "Mahakikisho" ya WokovuExample — "Assurances" of Salvation

Katika kila mfano neno kiini ni nomino ya wingi, hoja ni umoja wa nomino hiyo, na mahubiri yanamsogeza msikilizaji kuelekea mwitikio binafsi. Maswali matatu tofauti ya uchunguzi, makundi matatu tofauti ya vifungu vya kuthibitisha, maneno kiini matatu tofauti — lakini mbinu ile ile yenye nidhamu nyuma ya kila mmoja.In each case the keyword is a plural noun, the points are singulars of that noun, and the sermon moves the listener toward a personal response. Three different probing questions, three different sets of supporting texts, three different keywords — but the same disciplined method behind each one.

Maswali Manne Kabla HujahubiriFour Questions Before You Preach

Unapoandaa mahubiri ya kiinjilisti, daima uliza:When you prepare an evangelistic sermon, always ask:

• Ni swali gani la uchunguzi ambalo wasikilizaji wangu wanahitaji kujibiwa?What is the probing question my listeners need answered?
• Ni neno kiini lipi la nomino ya wingi litakaloyashikilia mahubiri yote pamoja?What plural noun keyword will hold the entire sermon together?
• Je, ninahitaji muhtasari wa kimada wenye vifungu vingi ili kufunika hoja zote?Do I need a topical outline with multiple texts to cover all the points?
• Je, lengo limeelekezwa waziwazi kumwongoza msikilizaji kwenye uamuzi wa kumpokea Kristo?Is the objective clearly aimed at leading the listener to a decision for Christ?

Maswali haya manne ndiyo mlango. Yapate sawasawa, na mahubiri yatakaribia kujijenga yenyewe. Yaruke, na hata vifaa vizuri vitatawanyika ovyo.These four questions are the doorway. Get them right, and the sermon will almost build itself. Skip them, and even good material will sprawl.

Mbinu ya Neno Kiini Kama Nidhamu ya KiinjilistiThe Keyword Approach as Evangelistic Discipline

Mbinu hii, iliyochukuliwa moja kwa moja kutoka sehemu saba za kwanza za WiseSpeak na kutumiwa kwa mafundisho ya kiinjilisti ya Sehemu ya 8, inayapa kila mahubiri muundo ulio wazi na kusudi thabiti la kiinjilisti. Neno kiini si ujanja wa werevu; ni nidhamu ya uwazi. Msikilizaji anasikia kweli moja, anaona hoja za kuithibitisha zikijipanga, na analetwa mahali ambapo uamuzi ndio mwitikio pekee wa kweli. Huko ndiko kuhubiri kwa kibiblia, na huko ndiko kuhubiri kwa kiinjilisti.This method, taken directly from the first seven units of WiseSpeak and applied to the evangelistic material in Unit 8, gives every sermon a clear structure and a strong evangelistic purpose. The keyword is not a clever trick; it is a discipline of clarity. The listener hears one truth, sees the supporting points fall into line, and is brought to the place where decision is the only honest response. That is biblical preaching, and that is evangelistic preaching.
