Izikhumbuzo ZokuphilaIsampula

Bona Ithonya Lakho

Balinganiselwa ku-7.7 billion abantu emhlabeni. Lokho kuningi futhi mhlawumbe kungaphezu kwamandla. Singawenza kanjani umehluko ngempela? Ingabe esikwenzayo kunendaba? 

Sonke sinenjongo ehlukile nobizo, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ukuthola indawo yakho emhlabeni kungaba nzima. Ngezinye izikhathi singase sizizwe sisebenziseka kalula noma singabalulekile. Noma singase sizizwe singabonwa futhi singaziswa. Noma sicabanga ukuthi esikwenzayo kuncane kangangokuthi akunandaba. 

Uyazi ukuthi incekukazi yomkaNahamani izokutshela ukuthini? Izwi lakho libalulekile. 

Encwadini 2 AmaKhosi 5, sihlangana nentombazane yakwa-Israyeli eyathunjwa. Asilifundi igama lakhe, futhi asiyazi yonke indaba yakhe. Ngempela sizwa ngaye futhi kuye ngamavesi amabili. Kodwa kulawo mavesi amabili, wakwazi ukushintsha ukuphila komuntu. 

Lapho ithunjwa, intombazane yakwa-Israyeli yaba incekukazi yomkaNahamani. Unahamani wayengumholi webutho laseSiriya owayenochoko. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, intombazane yatshela umkaNahamani ukuthi wayengelapheka ochokweni lwakhe uma eya kumprofethi waseSamariya (2 AmaKhosi 5:1-3). 

Ngenxa yesiphakamiso sakhe, uNahamani wahamba namadoda athile, wagcina ehlangane no-Elisha umprofethi, waphulukiswa. Kodwa wahamba washintsha ngezindlela ezingaphezu kwalokho. Lapho esephulukisiwe, uNahamani wamemezela ukuthi “uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli nguye yedwa uNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke” futhi wathi wayeyokwenza imihlatshelo kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli kuphela (2 AmaKhosi 5:4-19). 

Iseluleko esisodwa. Isiphakamiso esisodwa. Isimemo esisodwa. Ukumamatheka okukodwa. Umbhalo owodwa. Umzuzu owodwa ungashintsha indaba yomuntu, impilo, futhi okubaluleke nakakhulu, ingunaphakade lakhe. Ngakho, lapho uzwa ukhuthazwa uMoya oNgcwele ukuba usho okuthile noma wenze okuthile, kwenze! 

Isikhundla sakho asinqumi amandla akho noma ithonya lakho. Intombazane engumIsrayeli ayibizwa ngegama futhi empeleni isemavesini amabili kuphela kulo lonke iBhayibheli. Kodwa wayewazi amandla akhe nethonya lakhe. 

Kwesinye isikhathi singase sibambeke ngokuba negama lethu kuleyo nto noma nabantu abayizigidigidi ezingu-7.7 emhlabeni bazi ukuthi sinesandla ekwenzeni okuthile okuyisimangaliso. Kodwa akukhona ukwaziwa; kumayelana nokwenza uJesu aziwe. 

Intombazane engumIsrayeli cishe yambona uNahamani lapho efika ekhaya, futhi kungenzeka yabona ukuthi ukusikisela kwayo okuncane kwakunethonya elinamandla. Kodwa kungenzeka singalokothi manje umthelela esibe nawo kulolu hlangothi lwezulu. Futhi lokho kulungile. Sitshala imbewu, futhi kufanele sikushiyele kuNkulunkulu ukuba akhiqize isivuno. 

Ngakho-ke, iyiphi into eyodwa okumele uyenze namuhla? 

Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, ngiyabonga ngokunginika injongo. Ngiyabonga ngokusebenza konke ukuze kuzuze mina kanye nabanye. Ngisize ngizwe izwi Lakho ngokucacile. Nkosi, ngicela ungisize futhi ungiqondise ekwenzeni into eyodwa ejulile nencane namuhla ezothinta omunye umuntu. Ameni.
