Ubizo lobuNkokeli boMkhonziIsampulu

Indlela yokuHlangabezana neMeko Nganye

Mhlawumbi unebali elihlekisayo (okanye elibangela iintloni) malunga nokungaxhotyiswa kakuhle okanye ukungazilungiseleli kakuhle kugqatso, iimviwo, okanye isiganeko. Mhlawumbi awunalo ngenxa yokuba uhlala uzilungiselele kakuhle kuyo nayiphi na imeko. Kwiindawo ezininzi zobomi, ukulungiselela kwethu kunefuthe kwimpembelelo yethu, kwaye ubunkokeli abuhlukanga. Kuyanceda ukuqonda ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuhlangabezana nemeko yethu yobunkokeli ngengqiqo novelwano, silungiselela ngokufanelekileyo ukuze sikhokele ngempumelelo, ukuze abo bachatshazelwayo ziimpembelelo zethu bapheele bekwindawo elungileyo.

Uya kukhumbula ukuba ubunkokeli obomeleleyo bukaMoses babubangelwa kukuba buthathaka kwale ndawo babezifumana bekuyo abantu bakaThixo eYiputa. Intswelo yabantu yabangela ukuba ukuphakama kukaMoses abe yinkokeli. Ngokufanayo, uNehemiya wakhathazeka akuva ngemeko eyothusayo yaseYerusalem, ngoko waphakama wabakhokela abantu bakaThixo. Mhlawumbi ingavakala kuwe le ngcamango yobunkokeli kuba wonzakele – kwaye yabethelelwa – kukungabikho kobulungisa. Ungene kubunkokeli ungathandanga ngenxa yokutshiseka ngumnqweno wokutshintsha imeko yabantu bakaThixo.

Wathi uYesu akufika kwisixeko esithile, waba novelwano ngezihlwele ezazilapho ngenxa yokuba zazinjengezimvu ezingenamalusi. Wayekwazi ukucalula imeko yokwenyani yabantu, aze ke ahlangabezane neemfuno zabo zokwenene zokomoya nezokwenyama ngokubiza abafundi baKhe ukuze babafundise ngelizwi likaThixa. Mhlawumbi kufuneka uzibuze ukuba ngaba uThixo uya kubiza ukuba uzibandakanye naye ekuthabatheni abantu abase kwindawo anenjongo ngayo kubo. Ukuba kunjalo, ululungiselela njani olu bizo?

Ibali likaThixo ethetha nenkwenkwana uSamuweli libonisa ukuba xa uThixo esibiza, Akakasithumi. Kukho isithuba phakathi kokubiza nokuthuma, apho ulungiselelo lwenzeka khona. Ukulungiselela kwethu kuya kumisela impembelelo kunye nokusebenza kwethu. Qalisa ukuthandazela ukuba uThixo akuncede uqonde imeko uThixo akubizela kuyo, ngaphambi kokuba uthi ewe kwithuba lobunkokeli.

Khumbula ukuba ixesha lokulungiselela alitshintshi lo msebenzi ubizelwe wona kubunkokeli, kodwa litshintsha wena – nkokeli. Mhlawumbi uyazazi iinkokeli ezathi zathatha izikhundla zobunkokeli zingazilungiselelanga kakuhle, mhlawumbi zade zayeka umsebenzi wazo ophezulu kwimibutho eyayingayi ndawo. Ukungalungiseleli kakuhle kunokuba nemiphumo yexesha elide. Kwakhona, umsebenzi wakho wobunkokeli owunikwe nguThixo uhlala ungatshintshi nokuba uzilungiselele kangakanani na, kodwa akukho namnye kuthi ofuna ukuphila nokuzisola okungenakuthinteleka ngenxa yokungena kwisikhundla sobunkokeli ngokuzikhukhumalisa okanye ngaphambi kwexesha okanye ngaphandle koqeqesho oluvakalayo lwezakwalizwi.

Njengenkokeli, ubizelwa imeko ethile, kwaye ubunkokeli obusebenzayo bubandakanya ukuqonda iinkcukacha zaloo meko. Unexesha elingakanani uthandazela abantu oshumayela kubo? Uchithe ixesha elingakanani uqonda imeko yabo? Okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ngaba uyayiqonda indawo apho uThixo afuna ukubasa khona, kwaye ngaba umise umyalezo wakho kubo ngokufanelekileyo? Wanga uThixo angakuguqula ube yinkokeli ezimisele ukuguqula abanye ukuze bafezekise ubizo lwabo.
