“Funani Kuqala Umbuso”
Uma umsebenzi wethu ovela kuKristu uwukuba “sifune kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu,” umshado ophumelelayo, odumisa uNkulunkulu, ungaba kanjani ngomakelwe umsebenzi? Asitshelwa ukuba sifune kuqala umshado oseduze, ukuphila okujabulisayo, izingane ezilalelayo, nanoma yini enye. UJesu usitshela ukuthi sifune into eyodwa kuqala, futhi into eyodwa kuphela: Umbuso Wakhe nokulunga Kwakhe (amagama amabili achaza futhi akhe phezu kwelinye, enza into eyodwa ukushisekela). Umshado ophumelelayo awusekelwe nje ukushisekela umbuso, kodwa ngezindlela eziningi ukushisekela kuyisidingo sokusondelana kwangemva kokuthatheka.
Ukuphila ngaphandle kwale njongo, nomshado ngaphandle kwale njongo, uzolahlekelwa ukukhazimula kwawo okuningi. “Sikulambele lokhu namuhla: ukubambisana, ukuhlangana, ukusebenza njengeqembu eliqwala izintaba, sikhuphukela esiqongweni sephupho lethu, bese siyabambana ekupheleni kosuku. UNkulunkulu utshale lendlala ekujuleni kwawo wonke umuntu oshadile. Kungaphezu kokulambela ubungani. Kungaphezu kokulambela ukudala impilo entsha. Indlala yesithathu, ukulambela ukwenza okuthile okubalulekile ndawonye. NgokweZwi likaNkulunkulu, sahlanganiswe ukuze senze umehluko. Sishadele injongo yokushumayela.”
“Ukushada ngokwenjongo” kungavuselela imishado eminingi lapho abashadikazi becabanga ukuthi abafanelene; engikusolayo ukuthi iningi lalaba bashadikazi lihlushwa ukuntula inhloso. Amazwi kaJesu anikezwe abantu ngabanye kuMathewu 6:33 mhlawumbe ayiqiniso nakakhulu emshadweni. Lapho sinikela ngokuphila kwethu, siyakuthola. Lapho sigxila kakhulu ngaphandle komshado wethu, sigcina sesiwuqinisa umshado wethu.
* Ingabe umshado wakho unomsebenzi? Wena nomngani wakho womshado ningayiphila kanjani ngokugcwele impilo yokuthunywa njengabashadikazi?
