Izimiso Zokusebenzisa Isikhathi Ezivela Ezwini LikaNkulunkuluIsampula

Hlela Usuku Nosuku

Akuyona imfihlo ukuthi ukuze uphumelele ngezimali zakho, kufanele uhlele ukuthi uzoyisebenzisa kuphi imali yakho ngaphambi kokuthi iphelele ku-akhawunti yakho yasebhange. Kufanele sithathe indlela efanayo enesiyalo ngesikhathi sethu. Phela, ngokungafani nemali, asikwazi ukuzuza isikhathi esengeziwe, ngakho kufanele sithambekele nakakhulu ekwahluleleni amahora ethu kunamadola ethu.

Uma ulandele ukuhola kukaJesu ngosuku lwesibili lwalolu hlelo lokufunda, kufanele ube nemingcele ecacile echaza ukuthi singakanani isikhathi osinikele ukuze ukhiqize osukwini oluthile. Ngale mingcele ebekiwe, izibopho zakho eziqoqiwe, kanye namaphrojekthi akho ambalwa abalulekile nemisebenzi ekhonjiwe, sekuyisikhathi sokungena kumodi yokuhlela, enquma ukuthi uzolisebenzisa kanjani ihora ngalinye losuku ngalunye. Ngiyawathanda amazwi kaJesu akuLuka 14:28: “Ngokuba ngumuphi kini othi efuna ukwakha umbhoshongo, angahlali phansi kuqala, abale izindleko, ukuthi unakho okokuwuqeda na?” Indlela “esibala ngayo izindleko” zemisebenzi yethu ekhiqizayo iwukuhlela isikhathi sethu, siqinisekise ukuthi “sinokwanele ukuqeda” izinto esizibophezele kuzo.

Ngakho-ke, lokhu kubukeka kanjani ngempela? Kimina, ngichitha imizuzu yokugcina engu-30 yosuku ngalunye lomsebenzi ngikhomba imisebenzi ebaluleke kakhulu namaphrojekthi engifuna ukuwafeza ngosuku olulandelayo futhi ngihlela ukuthi ngizosaba kanjani isikhathi sami ukuze ngifeze lezo zinto nakho konke okunye ekhalendeni lami. Ngale ndlela, lapho ngihlala phansi edeskini lami ngakusasa ekuseni, akudingekile ukuba ngichithe amandla engqondo ayigugu ngicabanga ngalokho engizokwenza ngokulandelayo. Izinqumo sezithathiwe. Manje okumele ngikwenze nje ukusebenza.

Kuzo zonke IzAga, uNkulunkulu wembula ukuhlakanipha kokuhlela ngokucophelela indlela yokusebenzisa isikhathi nemali yethu. Lapho uhlela izinsuku zakho, yiba ngamabomu ukubukela phansi lokho ongakufeza esikhathini esingamahora angu-24. Imvelo yomuntu iwukucabanga ngokweqile lokho esingakufeza esikhathini esithile. Ukukwazi nje lokhu kuzokusiza wenze izinqumo ezihlakaniphile ekuhleleni isikhathi sakho. Kungcono kakhulu ukuqeda usuku ngesikhathi samahhala esingalindelekile kunokungafezi lokho obuhlose ukukwenza. 

Khumbula isixwayiso sikaJesu kuLuka 14:29-30: “Ngokuba uma ubeka isisekelo, kepha wehluleka ukusiqeda, bonke abakubonayo bazokuhleka usulu, bethi: ‘Lo muntu waqala ukwakha, kodwa akabanga namandla okwazi ukuqeda.’” Ukungenzi esithi sizokwenza kuyingozi ebufakazini bethu ngezwe elilahlekile. Hlela isikhathi sakho kahle ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi uyakwazi ukuqeda lokho ozibophezele ukukuqala.
