Ithemba EbumnyameniIsampula
Linda
Sifundise, Jehova, iziyalo zokubekezela, ngokuba ukulinda kulukhuni kunokusebenza.
—Peter Marshall
Iningi lethu akusadingeki lilinde isikhathi eside nanoma yini. Cabanga nje ukuthi uzizwa u-antsy kanjani lapho udokotela wamazinyo eshaywa isikhathi. Kuyakuhlanyisa, akunjalo?
Ngokusobala, noHabakuki wayengahlanya ngokulinda. Noma kunjalo, wayazi ukuthi kwakuyinto elandelayo okwakumelwe ayenze uma ezophuma esigodini sokudangala. UNkulunkulu wamtshela, “Isambulo silindele isikhathi esimisiwe; sikhuluma ngokuphela futhi ngeke sibe ngamanga. Noma ulibala, silindele; ngokuqinisekile siyofika, asiyikulibala.” ( UHabakuki 2:3 NIV).
Igama lesiHeberu lapha elisho “isikhathi esimisiwe” lithi mow’ed, okusho isikhathi esifanele, isikhathi esimisiwe, isikhathi esikhethwe ngokwaphezulu uNkulunkulu avumela ukuba okuthile kwenzeke. Kunesisho sakudala esithi uNkulunkulu akavamile ukufika ngaphambi kwesikhathi, akaphuzi, futhi uhlale enesikhathi. Lokho kufingqwe ngu-mow’ed.
Mhlawumbe ubuthandazela lokho okubonakala kungunaphakade ukuthi othile omthandayo eze kuKristu. Ngakho linda. Ungase ucele kuNkulunkulu olunye uhlobo lwesimangaliso. Ukuze umuntu aphulukiswe. Ukuze umuntu akhululwe ekuluthweni. Ngephromoshini. Noma umngani womshado. Ngakho Uyakhuleka. Ulinde.
Bese ulinda futhi.
Uma ubheka emBhalweni, uzobona isibonelo emva kwesibonelo sabantu abakhethwe uNkulunkulu, abaseduze naye, abazithola belindile.
UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Ngizokusebenzisa wena ukuze ngikhulule abantu bami futhi ngakhe kabusha isizwe sakwa-Israyeli.” UMose wayesehamba uhambo lweminyaka engamashumi amane. Iminyaka engamashumi amane!
Manje, nansi enye yezintandokazi zami. Umphostoli uPawulu waba nombono futhi wahlangana noKristu. Uguqukile futhi uthi, “Ngibizelwe ukushumayela. Yilokho engizele ukukwenza. Konke lokhu. Ngiphoqelekile ukushumayela ivangeli. Lena injongo yami yokuphila eyodwa engiyinikezwe uNkulunkulu.” Bese elinda. Kudlula iminyaka eyishumi nantathu ngaphambi kokuba leyo njongo iqale. Eminyakeni eyishumi nantathu ngaphambi kokuba ashumayele ulayezo wakhe wokuqala!
Kwezinye izinkathi empilweni, uyalinda.
Thandaza: Ngizimisele ukulinda. Nkulunkulu, yini engingayenza ukuze ngikwazi ngisalindile?
