Imithandazo EyingoziIsampula
Ngiphazamise
Lokho esikuthandazelayo kubalulekile. Kepha akubalulekile nje kuphela, kuyabuye kuveze.
Okuqukethwe yimikhuleko yethu kusitshela okuningi ngathi nangobudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu kunokuba abantu abaningi bengacabanga. Lokho esikuthandazelayo kukhombisa lokho esikukholelwayo ngoNkulunkulu. Uma iningi lemikhuleko yethu yenzelwe "thina uqobo" noma "okubalulekile kithi," lokho okuqukethwe yimithandazo yethu kukhombisa ukuthi sikholwa, ekujuleni kwenhliziyo, ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona ikakhulu ngathi.
Ngakho-ke thatha isikhashana wenze ukuhlolwa komkhuleko. Cabanga ngakho konke okuthandazile muva nje — hhayi impilo yakho yonke, ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa nje ezedlule. Cabanga ngokubhala incwajana noma uthayiphe imemo efonini yakho bese ubhala zonke izinto ezahlukahlukene onxuse uNkulunkulu ukuthi azenze evikini eledlule. Thatha isikhashana bese uyicabanga. Uyakhumbula? Wathandaza ngani? Yini owacela uNkulunkulu ukuthi ayenze?
Manje phendula ngokuthembeka. Uma uNkulunkulu athi yebo kuyo yonke imithandazo oyithandazile ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ezedlule, umhlaba ubuyohluka kanjani?
Ukube imithandazo yakho bekuyiyona ejwayelekile, iphephile, mhlawumbe ngabe ube nosuku oluhle, wafika ngokuphepha, noma wajabulela i-cheeseburger, ama-fries, ne-Diet Coke.
Iminyaka, uma ngenza ukuhlolwa komkhuleko, imiphumela ibizoba kabi. Ukube uNkulunkulu wenze konke esikhathini esingangesonto ebengimcele ukuba akwenze, umhlaba ubungeke wehluke kakhulu nakancane. Ngokwethembeka, amanye amasonto bengingathandazi lutho. Amanye amasonto, kungenzeka ukuthi ngathandaza, kepha imithandazo yayimayelana nami, futhi lokho akushintshi kakhulu ohlelweni olukhulu lwezinto.
Imikhuleko yami ibiphephe kakhulu.
Ngangikwazi ukufinyelela kuMdali noMlondolozi wendawo yonke. Nginguye Omkhulu. U-Alfa no-Omega. Isiqalo Nesiphetho. Unkulunkulu onamandla onke, okhona njalo, owazi konke ongathumela umlilo uvela ezulwini, avale imilomo yezingonyama ezilambile, noma athule isiphepho esinamandla. Futhi konke engimcele ukuthi akwenze ukungigcina ngiphephile futhi ungisize ngibe nosuku oluhle.
Iminyaka, angikaze ngifune ukuphazanyiswa. Kepha ngemuva kokuthandaza imithandazo eyingozi kakhulu, ngathola ukuthi ukugqugquzela kukaNkulunkulu okunomusa kwakuzophazamisa izinhlelo zami zobugovu futhi wayezongiqondisa entandweni yakhe yaphakade.
Ukholo lwami luqinile.
Impilo yami icebile.
Inhliziyo yami igcwele.
Cabanga ngokungahluka uma ungathandaza ngokusobala. Uma ubeka engcupheni ngaphezulu. Uma ngabe uvulekele ngokwengeziwe kulokho uNkulunkulu angakwenzakuwena esikhundleni sokuthembela nje ukuthi uzokwenzela okuthileakwenzele. Yini ongayenza uma uthandaza imithandazo egqamile? Ngiphuphe sikhulu? Ngobudedengu walandela uJesu ngokholo olunesibindi, oluzilahla?
Isikhathi sokushintsha indlela othandaza ngayo. Sekuyisikhathi sokushiya imithandazo ephephile, enethezekile, engaqagelwa, futhi elula ukuthandaza. Isikhathi sokuthandaza ngesibindi, ukuzibeka engcupheni, uzivulele indlela ehlukile eya endaweni engcono. Isikhathi sokuqala ukuthandaza imithandazo eyingozi. Isikhathi sokuphazamiseka.
Uma ufuna ngempela ukwenza umehluko emhlabeni, udinga amandla avela ezulwini. Uma ufuna impilo yakho ibaluleke, sekuyisikhathi sokuthandaza ngemikhuleko emikhulu, enesibindi, nenesibindi.
Funa uNkulunkulu futhi uphuphe okukhulu. Yenqaba ukwesaba ukwehluleka. Isikhathi sokuzikhipha. Ukuthembela. Ukuzama. Ukukholwa. Impilo yakho ngeke ihlale iphephile. Futhi kuzothatha ukholo. Kepha ngaphandle kokholo, akunakwenzeka ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu.
