Ubizo lobuNkokeli boMkhonziIsampulu

Iingcamango ngobuNkokheli

Uluntu lwamaKristu nalo lunakho ukunikezela kuhlobo lonqulo lwabantu abadumileyo oluxhaphakileyo kwiinkcubeko ezininzi kwihlabathi jikelele. Ukuqhayisa ngobuKristu yinto ekhoyo kwiindawo ezithile zecawe kwaye kubalulekile kuthi ukuba sinyaniseke malunga neengozi zolu hlobo lomkhuba, sifune iimbono ezicacileyo nezizele ithemba ngohlobo lweengcamango zobunkokeli ababengumzekelo walo uYesu kunye nezinye iinkokeli zebhayibhile.

Ndakhe ndamenywa ukuba ndithethe kwinkomfa, kwaye ipowusta yomsitho yandibhengeza ngesihloko esithi “uMpostile”, ukuze ndivakale ndinomtsalane ngakumbi kwaye nditsale abantu abaninzi baze kule nkomfa. Abaququzeleli babegxile ikakhulu kumanani abantu abaza kuza. Ukanti, xa uPawulos edwelisa izipho zobunkokeli ezahlukileyo kumaEfese 4, uyenza icace into yokuba injongo yezo zipho kukumanyanisa, ukuxhobisa, ukuqolisa, ukwakha nokukhuthaza abantu bakaThixo. Imisebenzi yobunkokeli isoloko inikelwa nguThixo ngobizo nangenjongo – ingeyiyo inzuzo yokuzingca. Izipho zobunkokeli zilungiselelwe uzuko lukaThixo kunye nokulunga kwabantu baKhe. UYesu unika izipho ukwakha ibandla lakhe. Kufanelekile ukuzibuza: Ngubani endisigcinele yena isipho sam ngoku? Ngubani oxhamla kubunkokeli bam?Yintoni abayizuzayo?

Khumbula kwakhona ukuba umntu onesipho akangomnini weso sipho. Ugcina nje isipho, endaweni yokuba ibe ngomnye umntu. NoPawulos akazange abhekisele kuye “njengoMpostile uPawulos”. Ekuqaleni wayenguPawulos kuphela – waza waba ngumpostile.

UYesu, eyona nkokeli ibalaseleyo, usimema ukuba sifunde iindlela zaKhe. Njengeenkokeli, kufuneka senze isiko eluntwini lokuphungula umthwalo kunye nokwenza lula idyokhwe yabo sibakhokelayo, sisuse ukugxila kuthi nakwisiphiwo sethu ngabom, sigqithisele uthando kubantu esibizelwe ukubakhonza. Nceda wazi ukuba xa kufikwa kubunkokeli bobuKristu, isidima sakho siyabaxwa. Kunoko, ukuthobeka yeyona nto ibalulekileyo. Kukho umahluko phakathi kwabantu abaziwa ngendlela ekhazimlayo, nabantu abaqubudayo phambi koThixo. Abantu abaguqayo phambi koThixo banokuma phambi kwakhe nawuphi na umntu. Umntu okwisikhundla sobunkokeli akanakuze abaluleke ngakumbi kunomntu ongenaso isikhundla sobunkokeli. Nokuba uyinkokeli okanye awuyiyo, ixabiso lakho limiselwa kukwamkelwa kwakho ngokungenamiqathango nguThixo.

Olu cwangciso lokufunda luya esiphelweni, kodwa uhambo lwakho njengenkokeli engumkhonzi mhlawumbi lusaqala nje. Yanga ungavuseleleka kwaye uthuthuzelwe yinyaniso yokuba ugcine isipho sakho sobunkokeli egameni likaThixo nabantu abathandayo. Ubomi bakho ayibobakho. Thembela kuThixo ukuba angakusebenzisa ngamandla kwesi sizukulwana. Mthembe ukuba uya kukulwela kwaye akukhusele xa igama lakho lithandatyuzwa, kwaye ungaxoliswa lulwazi lokuba umi kakuhle kunye naye. Njengoko uzabalaza ngokuzithoba ukwenza amathuba akho okukhokela asebenzele abanye, yanga ungabubona uBukumkani bukaThixo bufika, nokwenziwa kwentando yaKhe.
