Ukufikelela ekumazini uMalusi Olungileyo

"Ndim umalusi olungileyo; ndiyazazi ezam, ndiyaziwa zezam—" UYohane 10:14 XHO75

Ndingathanda ukukubuza imibuzo emibini ukuze uyiqwalasele.

Kunjani xa uchitha ixesha kunye noYihlo osezulwini?
Kunjani ukuthetha Naye?

Nceda uthathe umzuzwana uzame ukuchaza la mava.

Into endibhekisa kuyo apha sisihloko somthandazo. Ndicinga ukuba abantu abaninzi bayaxhonywa kweli gama lisetyenziswa kakhulu, "umthandazo." Siwufaka kakhulu emoyeni. Uyabona, uThixo uyazi ukuba singabantu nje, ukanti siyazama ukumkholisa ngandlel’ ithile ngokuthandaza “okulungileyo”. Kwaye emva koko, siyaphazamiseka kwaye sinikezele kude kube lixesha elizayo "sizama." Ngokwenza oku, siphoswe yiyo yonke ingongoma yokuba umthandazo umelwe ukuba yintoni!

Umthandazo yindlela esidibana ngayo noThixo. Yindlela esinxulumana ngayo naYe. Kwaye ukuba uThixo ufuna size kuye ngomthandazo? Kaloku, owona mnqweno waKhe mkhulu kukuba nentliziyo, ingqondo namandla ethu ephela njengoko sifunda kwiDuteronomi 6:5, akunjalo?

Okokuqala, ufuna simnandiphe—sinikele ingqalelo Kuye hayi “umthandazo wakho.”

Kufuneka sisoloko sisiza kuye kanye njengoko sinjalo, sinikela ngeziqu zethu ezixhwalekileyo, ezingafanelekanga, sekunjalo ezithandiweyo ngokupheleleyo nguBawo wethu onamandla onke, ogcina bonke ubuqaqawuli, enemfesane ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye xa sisenza njalo, sifumana indebe ephuphumayo yamandla akhe, ukubuyiselwa, ubulumko, uxolo, ubulungisa, novuyo lwakhe. Ebukhoneni baKhe kukho obugqithisileyo ubomi. Yena ungaManzi aphilileyo nesonka soBomi.

Xa sithandaza, asifanele sithethe nje kuphela kodwa simele siphulaphule. Funa ukuva kwaye ulandele iindlela zakhe ezilungileyo. Yizani nivuya, yizani nidlala, yizani nidiniwe, yizani nithandabuza okanye nisoyika. Yizani kuye entlanjeni yethunzi lokufa. Sondela kwaye umamele amazwi akhe athuthuzelayo obomi kunye nethemba.

Kwaye ke, kufuneka size kuYe rhoqo—ngexesha lesizungu kunye nakuyo yonke enye imeko enokwenzeka. Xa sisenjenjalo, siqalisa ukumazi uMalusi wethu. Ndithetha okwenyani ukumazi.

Kum, ixesha lam lokuthandaza elizolileyo livakala ngathi ndihleli kwaye ndiphunga iti eshushu kunye nabahlobo bam abasenyongweni. Imnandi kakhulu. Izinto ezimnandi, akunjalo? Njengoko uPaul E. Miller efundisa kwincwadi yakhe A Praying Life, “Awukwazi ukumazi uThixo ngokuphaphazela. Awudali ubuhlobo obusondeleyo; ubuvulela indawo.”

Ndiyathandaza ukuba ezi ntsuku zisixhenxe zidlulileyo zikwenze nzulu ukuqonda kwakho ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukumamela uThixo. Ayintsonkothanga njengoko sihlala sicinga ukuba injalo. Kulula njengokuvala iindlebe zethu ebuxokini, ukuvula iintliziyo zethu, ukuthula, kunye nokuvumela uMalusi wethu olungileyo anxibelelane.

Ndiyakuthandazela ukuba ube nokuqonda okunzulu ukuba ukumamela uThixo, rhoqo, kungokwazi ngcono uMalusi wethu olungileyo.

Xelela uBawo: Namhlanje, ndiza kukufuna ngentliziyo yam yonke, ngomphefumlo, nangamandla am onke. Ndiyakuqala ngoku, ngam wenene, ukuza phambi kowenene. Ndifuna ukwazi kwaye ndikumamele ngakumbi nangakumbi suku ngalunye.
