Ukuthola Ukuphumula Ngezigqi ZokuphilaIsampula

Ukuzijwayeza Isigqi

Igama elithi "isigqi" ngokuvamile liyitemu lomculo, kodwa lingabuye lichazwe njengokulandelana okuphindaphindiwe kwezenzakalo, izenzo, noma izinqubo. Kukulemicimbi, izenzo, kanye nezinqubo lapho sethemba futhi silungiselela khona ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu. Ngiphinde ngabona igama elichazwa ngokuthi "ukunyakaza okumakwa ngokulandelana okulawulwayo kwezinto eziqinile nezibuthakathaka, noma izimo eziphambene noma ezihlukile." Kulapha lapho ngithola khona ukuxhumana okwengeziwe kwesimo sami. Ebuthakathakeni benyama yami kanye nezifiso zobugovu, ngidinga ukuzithoba emandleni nasebuhleni bobukhona bukaNkulunkulu empilweni yami. 

Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zezimo zomoya, futhi kubalulekile ukuthi sizame ukuthola izindlela esixhumana ngazo kangcono noNkulunkulu. Urichard Foster wake wabhala, “Ngokwazo, iZiyalo zikaMoya azikwazi ukwenza lutho; zingasiyisa kuphela lapho okuthile kungenziwa khona.” [1] Kuyithemba lethu ukuthi njengoba sincika esigqini esiyindlela yokuxhumana noKristu, sizoba nenhlanganyelo kanye nokusondelana Naye. Ngokwenza kanjalo, kuqinisa futhi kusimamise ikhono lethu lokuphila kusukela kokunye esikutholile. Lithi kwabaseGalathiya 5:17 “inkanuko yenyama imelana noMoya, nenkanuko kaMoya iphambene nenyama, ngokuba lokhu kuyaphikisana, ukuze ningenzi enithanda ukuzenza. ” 

Njengabalandeli bakaJesu abathole ukuphumula komphefumulo, sisalingeka ukuba sivumele inyama yethu inqume izinqumo kanye nezinqubo zethu empilweni. Ngenxa yalokhu, kufanele simise imikhuba, noma isigqi, esiyosikhomba emthonjeni wamandla okuqhubekela phambili ngendlela edumisa uNkulunkulu. Iqhubeka ithi kwabaseGalathiya 5:18 ukuthi uma “siholwa nguMoya,” siyohamba ngokuvumelana nalokho uJehova akufisayo kithi.

Izigqi ziyasiza ekusibekeni endaweni yokuthi sikulungele ukwamukela eNkosini. Ukuzijwayeza lezi zindlela zokuziphatha kusisiza ukuthi silwe nokuzibonga ngokweqile futhi kuphakamisa ukuqaphela kwethu isidingo somsindisi.
