Ndingenza Ntoni Xa Ndibanjwe sisilingo?

Sise kuThixo—ngoku

Xa ulingwa, khumbula esi sithembiso: “Anibanjwanga silingo singesesabantu. Uthembekile ke uThixo, ongayi kuvumela ukuba nilingwe ngaphezu kweninako; owothi, kunye nesilingo eso, avelise ithuba lokuphuma kuso, ukuba nibe nako ukuthwala” (1 KwabaseKorinte 10:13).

UThixo akanakusivumela isihendo angenakusinika amandla okuseyisa. Kwelinye icala, uSathana akanakuchitha ixesha lakhe ngezilingo azaziyo ukuba sinokuzoyisa ngamandla ethu. 

Ngoko ke, ngalo lonke ixesha ulingwa, yazi ukuba awunakuliphumelela eli dabi ngaphandle koncedo lukaThixo. 

Phuhlisa intsabela yakho yokunika sonke isihendo ngoko nangoko kuBawo. 

Mcele ukuba akuphe amandla akhe. 

Kushiye ezandleni zakhe. 

Yise kuThixo—Ngoku.

Kungathini ukuba awukwenzi?

Ngokuba izenzo zonke uThixo uya kuzizisa ekugwetyweni, izinto zonke ezifihlakeleyo, nokuba zilungile nokuba zimbi” (Intshumayeli 12:14).

Wasilumkisa uYesu: “Akukho nto ke igqunyiweyo, engasayi kutyhilwa; nefihlakeleyo, engasayi kwaziwa. Ngenxa enokuba konke enikuthethe emnyameni, kuya kuviwa emhlotsheni; nenikuthethe endlebeni emagumbini, kuya kumenyezwa phezu kwezindlu” (ULuka 12:2–3).

Ndithi ke kuni, Onke amazwi angewaní abathe bawathetha abantu, baya kuphendula ngawo ngomhla womgwebo; 37kuba ngawo amazwi akho ùya kugwetyelwa, nangawo amazwi akho ùya kugwetywa” (UMatewu 12:36–37).

Emva kokuba edwelise zonke iintlobo zezono ezingavunywanga, uPetros wavakalisa ukuba abo benza ezo zinto “Kambe ke baseza kunika ingxelo kulowo uhlalele ukugweba abahleliyo nabafileyo” (1 KaPetros 4:5).

Yintoni eza kwenzeka kubo?

“Umsebenzi womntu ngamnye uya kucaca ngemini yomgwebo, kuba ngaloo mini umlilo uya kuwubonakalisa umsebenzi womntu ngamnye, uphicothe ubunjani bawo. . . . Ke ukuba ithe yatsha, umntu lowo wolahlekelwa ngumvuzo; ke yena ngokwakhe wosindiswa, kodwa ke ange ucande emlilweni” (1 KwabaseKorinte 3:13, 15).

Izono ezingenabuthixo, nezingavunywana, iingcinga, okanye amazwi ziza kutyhilwa ngemini yomgwebo zitshiswe emlilweni. Ngokuba iZulu ligqibelele, ezi zinto azinakungena—zimele zitshiswe zitshatyalaliswe.

Isono siyahlanjululwa kwaye umvuzo ulahleke.

Xa uhendeka kwaye uziva utsaleleka ukuba uthethe noThixo, musa ukubaleka ebusweni bakhe. 

Ngalamzuzu wesidingo, baleka uye kuye.
