KAWHHRAN HRUAITU PAWLIH NEIHTULMI SINAK LE AN HNATUAN

I. KAIHHRUAI AWKNAK (Leadership)

Kaihhruaiawknak timi thu hi a kauzet ih a thukzet fawn. Kaihhruaiawk daan a phunphun a umih caan tawite sungah zir thluh ding ti hi cu a har ngaingai mi thu a si. Asinain kan ti thei tawkte mallai in kan tarlang ve hnik ding.

Hruaitu qha cun hna an quan zikah nasa zet in thu an ruat hmaisa ta qheu. Midang hnenah thu va ron ding khal an ning a zak lo ih, midang ih thusimmi thlun  ding khal a qul can ahcun an hreh dah lo. Curuangah thu qhencatnak an tuahmi cu remqhat a qul sal ciamco lo ih, a si daan ding vekin a feh qheu. Hruaitu cu mipi hrangih hnaquantu an si vek in an thu qhencatmi hi mipi hrangah a thupizet a si, ti hi an theithiam awkzet qheu.

Pathian in minung pawl hnenah laksawng a phunphun in pek; a hrek cu palai an si, a hrek cu profet an si, a hrek cu thuthangqha phuangtu an si, a hrek cu pastor an siih a hrek cu zirhtu an si (Efe. 4:11). Jesuh Khrih ih pum a simi kawhhran hna kan quannak ah felzet ih kan quansuak theinak dingah hruaitu a qul ti cu kawhhran a thokpek ihsin an hmusuakmi a si.

Khristian hruaitu timi cu Bawipai’ thuthangqha karhzainak ding hrangah Pathian ih in pekmi sinak pawl hmang tahratin midang hnenah thazang pek khi a si. Qongdang in kan sim asile “Kan hnenah in pekmi laksawng kha qhate’n a hmangtu kan si,” kan ti thei. Pathian in pumpak cio parah laksawng a phunphun in pekmi theithiam in hmanthiam a thupi ngaingai. Cutin hmanthiam lawng si loin midang khal va kaihhruai thei ding a thupi sinsin. Kan cinken ding a qulmi cu laksawng a phunphun a um tihi a si. Paul in, “Thlarau laksawng cu a phunphun a um, asinain cuih laksawng pawl hmuahhmuah a petu cu Thlarau amah lawng a si,” a ti (1 Kor. 12:4). Pumpak kan nun cio ah Thlarau ih in pekmi laksawng pawl hmanthiam ding hi a thupizetmi a si.

Pathian in a sersiammi mi zovek khal mah le tawkzawn ciar thil ti theinak (talent) in pe cio (Rom 12:6-8; 1 Kor. 7:7; 12:4; Efe. 4:12). Pek lomi pakhat hman an um lo. Kan sinak le thil kan ti theinak khal a dang cio. Zirnak lam ih fimthiamnak khal tampi in pek. Cule kan nunnak le sinak ih a langtermi thil tampi kan hmuhtonmi khalin kan zir vivo. Mi hruaitu ding timi hi mikip ih ti thei a si thluh lo. Cumi pawl hi sim thluh ding cun a har ding. Asinain a tlangpi thu in hruaitu pawlin kan siding mi pawl Ca Thianghlim in ziangti'n a sim ti kan zoh hnik pei.

Hi thu ah Pastor hnaquannak le kaihhruaiawknak lamih hmin thangzetmi Dr. Vortel Weldom in hruaitu pawlih neih ding a qulmi pawl phun 12 in a sim. Cupawl cu a tanglam vekin an si.

Cun a hrekkhat cu an nu'i hrin thluak a qha lonan an zuamzet ruangah rinsan tlak hruaitu qha ah an cang thei ve.

           

Dr. Howard Hendricks in hitin a sim dah: "Thlarau lamih hruaitu pawlcu hrin (born) le tuahmi (made) an si. Annih cu Pathian Thlarau in a hrinsal hai ih, Pathian Thlarau in a tuahsal hai. Ziangah tile annih cu Jesuh'i hmuihmel thawn bang aw dingih khaukhih mi an si".

Pathian hnenah 'Na duhnak vekin si ko seh', tiah a titheitu le Pathian in 'Na duhnak vekin si ko seh' a ti dingmi lawng an si," tiah a ti. Hruaitu qha cun anmah le mah an hmuh-awk daan le an zuamnak hnakin an hruai dingmi mipi pawlih in hmuh daan le kan parih an neihmi lungput kha theih a qul zet a si.

C.   Dingfelnak (Faithfulness)

Hruaitu qha cu an hruai dingmi mipi in an parah rinsannak le zumnak an neih theiding a qul a si. Annih in an hruaitu cu rinsantlak le zumtlak a siih a hruainak sungah himzetin kan um a si, tiah an ruah awk thei a qul. Cuti ih a si theinak ding ahcun dingfelnak kha hruaitu'i nundaan le a tuahnak in langter ih a simvek in a nun a qul. Mi hrek cun hruaitu si an duh konan an nun daan le an qong mi hi a bang aw qheu lo. Cumi cu hruaitu qha pawl in ralrin ding a qul. Hruaitu nun ihsin hrial qheh ding a qha.

D. Mai’ sinak thupitter.

Hruaitu ih a hnaquan thupibik pakhat cu a hruaimi minung pawl kha zirh le qhanso ter tahrat in hmailam ih hmantlakmi siter kha a si. Cuih tumtahnak hlawhtlin thei dingah hruaitu in a tanglam thu pawl hi a tuah a qul a si.

Thiltuah palh mi kan neih tikah zamrang zetin kan ruatsuak ding. Cule nehhnu ahcun cuvek palhnak cu kan hrial theih ding. Palhnak kha phuang aw ngamin remqhatnak neih a qul. Cuih palhnak sung ihsin zirsuak in hmailam ahcun qhat sinsin ding zuam ding a thupi.

F. A thleng-aw theimi si ding.

Hnaquanding program neihmi pawl kha a laangte hrangah a si lo. Thleng theimi a si lo le kum tawkfang hnu ih cemthei dingin ruat ding a qha.

II. KAWHHRAN HRUAITU LE A DINHMUN

A.     Qongfang sullam simfiangnak

1.      Bishop – Mirang qongfang a siih ‘overseer’ ti khalin an ko. Grik qongfang ‘episkopos’ timi ihsin a rami a siih a sullam cu ‘hohatu’, ‘zohdiktu’, ‘kilkhawitu’ tinak a si.

2.      Pastor – Grik qongin ‘poimen’ ti a siih a sullam cu ‘tuu khaaltu’, ‘tuu cawmtu’ tinak a si. Mirang qong cun ‘shepherd’ timi thawn an bang aw.

3.      Elder (Upa) – Grik qong in ‘presbuteros’ ti a siih a sullam cu ‘upa deuh’ tinak a si. Mirang qong in ‘presbyter’ ti khalin kawh a si.

4.      Deacon – Grik qong in ‘diakonos’ ti a siih a sullam cu ‘cawmdawltu’, ‘riantu’, ‘hruaitu’. ‘kilkhawitu’ tinak a si. Kawhhran sungah a qongfang kan hman tikah Kawhhran upa tiah hman a rak si qheu. Himi zawn ahhin riantu, hruaitu timi pawl hi thu neihnak thawn tarlangmi si sawn loin dinhmun niamnak ihsin midang a rian ding tinak a si sawn. Jesuh in a dungthluntu pawlih ke a kholhsak timi sullam cu Jesuh hi a niamnak hmun ihsin a dungthluntu pawl parah tangdornak thawn riantu a sinak thu a zirh tinak a si (Joh. 13:11-16). Jesuh Khrih hi leilungmi hmuahhmuah hrangah sal sinak dinhmun ihsin hna a quan ti langfiang ternak a si.

Culo a dang pakhat hman hrihmi cu Grik qong in ‘doulous’ ti a si. A sullam cu ‘sal’, ‘hnen-um’ tinak a si. Sal/hnen-um cun amah thuthu in hna a quan thei lo. A bawipa ih duh daan vekin hna a quan a qul. Cuvek qhiamqhiam in ‘deacon’ timi sinak hi ‘doulous’ timi qongfang um daan in kan sim asile Jesuh Khrih hi a Bawipa ih a rettu, sal vekin Jesuh a riantu tinak le Kawhhran sung khalah sungtel mipi pawl kha tangdornak thawn a riantu tinak a si.

Thukam Hlun sungih Pathian mi hman, mi thianghlim pawl hi riantu/siahhlawh tiah kawh an si qheu. Moses cu Pathiah ih siahhlawh a si (1 Siang. 8:53; Dan. 9:11; Mal. 4:4). Cuvekin Joshua, Kaleb (Josh. 24:29; Mipum. 14:24), Abraham, Isaak le Jacob pawl khal siahhlawh tiih theihmi an si (Daan. 9:27). Cun, profet pawl khal siahhlawh an si (Amos 3:7; Zek. 1:6; Jer. 7:25). Khristian pawlin kanmah le kanmah mi thupi, mi ropi tiin kan porh-aw theinak cu “Pathian le Jesuh Khrih ih riantu” kan sinak ruangah a si. Mi zovek ih nautat le hmuhsuammi kan va si khalle Pathian le Jesuh Khrih ih riantu/sal/siahhlawh si hi cu hmin thupi, sinak thupi le Pathian hmai ih dinhmun sangzet a si. Pathian hmuh daan le minung kan zoh awk daan a bang aw lo.

B.     Qongfang hman daan

Bishop (Overseer - Gk. Episkopos) le Upa (Elder/Presbyter - Gk. Presbuteros) timi hi kan
Baibal Thukam Thar sungah cun sinak bangrep, sullam bangrep in mi pakhat parah a hmang thleng rero tiin kan hmu thei (Tirh. 20:17, 18; Titas 1:5-7; 1 Pit. 5:12; 1 Tim. 3:1-13; 5:17-25). “Bishop” timi hi Grik mi Khristian pawl umnak hmun ih hmanmi qongfang deuh a si. Grik pawlkomnak miburpi ih an hotu, hruaitu, uktu bawi le zirhtu pawl cu ‘bishop’ tiah an ko. Curuangah thlarau lamih anmah hruaitu le kilkhawitu pawl kha Bishop an ti deuh bik. Judah Khristian pawl umnak hmunah Bishop hnakin Upa (elder) timi qong an hmang tam deuh. Himi hi an biakinn ‘Sinakok’ ih an hruaitu upa pawl an kawhnak qongfang a si.

Curuangah ‘Bishop’ le ‘Upa’ cu bang awin an hmang ih an hnaquan ah hiti’n an qhen.

a.       Kawhhran kilveng humhimnak (Protecting the Church) (Tirh. 20:17, 28-29; 15:6ff),

b.      Kawhhran zirhnak (Teaching the Church) (1 Tim. 5:17-18; 3:2; Titas 1:5, 9),

c.       Kawhhran kaihhruaitu (Leading the Church) (1 Thess. 5:12-13; 1 Tim. 4:14; Titas 1:2; Jeim 5:14).

Dungthluntu pawl an thih qheh hnu neta lam ih Kawhhran kaihhruai awknak hngetkhoh an neih vivo hnu ahcun District Council President cu a thupi ngaingai. Cuihsin District Bishop (the bishop of diocese) tiah a hmin kawh daan an remqhat vivo. Cun Presbyter timi Upa (elder) khal cu puithiam ordain (Ordained minister or priest) ah an can ter. Himi hnuai ah Deacon timi pawl an ret. Cuticun Kawhhran sungih hnaquan daan cu Bishop, Upa le Deacon tiah phun thum qhen in hnaquannak an pehzom vivo.

Roman Catholic kawhhran cun hi kaihhruai awk daan phun thu hi sinak dinhmun sang le niam ah an qhen hrih ih neta lam ahcun Rom ih ummi Bishop cu sinak dinhmun sangbik ah an ret. A hmin ah POPE tiin an ko.  Pope timi sullam cu “PA” tinak a si. Cuticun kawhhran kaihhruaitu dinhmun sinak sang le niam, a sangsang in an um ter ih kawhhran cu an kaihhruai vivo a si.

Hiti ih RC kawhhran sungih hruaitu dinhmun sang le niam a sangsang ih um hi kawhhran remqhatnak san (reformation) a thleng tikah kawhhran remqhatnak hruaitu (reformers) pawl cun an duh lo zet. Curuangah John Calvin in Baibal Thukam Thar sungih kawhhran hnaquan hruaiawk daan thawn naih awkbik dingah Kawhhran kaihhruai awk daan a tuah. Rom 12:6-8 le 1 Kor. 12:18 sung kha sirhsan in Pastor, Doctor (Pathian thu=theology zirhtu saya), Upa (elder/presbyter) le Deacon tiin kawhhran hnaquan hruai awk daan phun 4 a tuah.

Presbyterian kawhhran in John Calvin ih tidaan hi an lungkimpi. Asinain a hman daan ah mallai remnak an nei. Pastor le Doctor kha an kom ih Minister (Pastor) tiah an ko. Cule Upa le Deacon kha an kom ih Upa (elder/presbyter) tiah an ko. Minister cu Thu le Serhsang lam quanvo neitu dingah ordain pek an siih Upa cu kawhhran kaihhruai awknak, hnaquannak dingah Pastor bawmtu dingin mipi lak ihsin rinsanmi pawl an hrilsuahmi tla an si.

Methodist kawhhran cu England kawhhran (Church of England/Anglican church) ih tidaan an thlun vivo hrih ruangah bishop an neiih an hmang hrih a si.

Baptist kawhhran ahcun kan hleicetnak ah “Hruaitu pahnih: Pastor le Deacon” tiin kan neiih mipi tamsawn lungkimnak thawn Kawhhran cu kaihhruai a si. Cule kawhhran deacon sungah nunau khal an telnak thu Baibal sungah kan hmu ih Deaconess tiah an ko (Rom 16:1).

C.     Ziangruangah Kawhhran Upa um a qul?

Ziangvek kawhhran a va si khalle Kawhhran pakhat hi dik le felte’n a feh vivo theinak dingah Kawhhran Hruaitu pawlih hnaquan hi a thupi ngaingai. Kawhhran hngetkhoh le a harhdammi hi Hruaitu Upa pawl ruangah a si qheu. Hruaitu upa um lo cun siatnak le buainak a um duh qheu. AD 70 hlanin Kawhhran hmaisa pawl khal hruaitu upa an nei lo ruangah an buaiih hruaitu ding upa 7 an hril ti kan hmu (Tirh. 6:2). Curuangah Kawhhran hruaitu upa cu siatnak lak ihsin kilkhawitu ding, thilqha sawn tuahsuaktu ding, rem aw lo pawl remtertu ding, Kawhhran kha tumtahmi bangrep neiih lamzin pakhat ah fehpitu ding le ziang hmuahhmuah mawi le fel takih tuah a si theinak dingah kaihhruaitu ding an si.

Kawhhran in hruaitu qha tampi a qul ringring. Kaqrhhran a qhansonak dingah hruaitu hi an thupi ngaingai. Kawhhran a qumsuk tikah hruaitu ih lu parah a um. Cuvekin Kawhhran a qhat ih a qhanso laifang khalah hruaitu qha a qul sinsin. Lamzin ding ih ruaitu ding, zirhnak dik lo le qihnung ummi zirhnak tampi lakah mai’ dinhmun ah hngetzetih dinpitu hruaitu qha a qul ringring. Curuangah kawhhran fingkhawi dingah Kawhhran Upa um a qul hrimhrim a si.

D.    Kawhhran Tawlreltu/Council

            (i) Hotu (President/Chairman)

Tuahdaan keel ahcun Pastor hi Kawhhran ih Hotu a si. Asinain Pastor ih quanvo le amah in zalenzet ih ruahnak a pek theinak dingah tuisan kawhhran hrekkhat lole tamsawn ahcun Kawhhran Upa pakhat khat cu hotu ah an ret thlang a si. An pahnih in qhatnak a um vekin a qhat lonak khal a um phah ve ko.

Kawhhran hrekkhat ahcun Kawhhran Upa sungih Hotu cu kawhhranpi (bupi) ih Hotu ah an ret cih qheu. Hotu ih quanvo cu Church OB, Church Council le Quansuaktu Upa (EC/Deacon) pawlih thurel khawmnak ah hotu quan ding hrimhrim an si. A dang sub-committee ahcun ruahnak petu ah tel ter theih a si.
