Lokho UJesu Akusho Ngokukhathazeka

KuMathewu 6, uJesu uqhubeka Nentshumayelo Yakhe YaseNtabeni eyaqala esahlukweni 5 yaze yafinyelela ekupheleni kwesahluko 7. Kule mfundiso ethandwayo, uJesu unikeza umyalo mayelana nomthandazo, intukuthelo, ukuphinga, kanye nezinye izihloko. Wayesanda kuqeda ukukhuluma ngemali nezinto ayenazo lapho engena esihlokweni sokukhathazeka.

Akakho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili. Ngokuba uyakuzonda omunye, uthande omunye; uyakubambelela komunye, udelele omunye. Awukwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ugqilazwe yimali. Yingakho ngithi kini ungakhathazeki ngempilo yansuku zonke …NgokukaMathewu 6:24-25 NLT

UJesu wasitshela ukuthi singazikhathazi ngoba uyazi ukuthi ukuthatheka kwethu ngemali kuyosenza siyeke ukukhonza uNkulunkulu. Kodwa izinkathazo zethu zivame ukudlula izinkinga zemali. Kunezinto eziningi ezisikhathazayo esibhekana nazo nsuku zonke ezibonakala zidinga isimo sokukhathazeka. Ake sibheke ukuthi kungani uJesu asitshela ukuthi singakhathazeki:

Ukukhathazeka akusizi muntu
UJesu wafundisa ukuthi ukukhathazeka kuyize. Akutheli izithelo. Akukho lutho oluvela kukho ngokuphelele. Ukukhathazeka bekuyokwenza umqondo uma kukhiqiza. Kodwa akunjalo. Ukukhathazeka ngesimo akusivimbeli ukuthi singenzeki. Kodwa-ke, siyazibandakanya kaningi esikhundleni sokwenza isinqumo sokungakhathazeki. (Sizokhuluma kabanzi ngoSuku luka 3 mayelana nokuthi ungawunqoba kanjani lo mjikelezo ongenanzuzo.)

Ukukhathazeka Akudingekile
UJesu wasitshela kuMathewu 6 ukuthi izinyoni zezulu nezimbali zasendle ziyalungiselelwa. Futhi kuyizinyoni nezimbali nje! Usikhathalela kangakanani? Nakakhulu! Usikhathalela kakhulu kunezinye izinto ezidaliwe. Akazange akufele esiphambanweni—Wasifela! Ngakho-ke, uma zihlinzekiwe, thina asenzelwanga na?

Ukukhathazeka Kuveza Ukuzinikela Kwethu
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sikhathazeka ngemali, abantu, noma imisebenzi, uma sichitha isikhathi sethu sikhathazekile, yilokho esizinikele kukho. Kufanele sizinikele kubantu uNkulunkulu ababeke ezimpilweni zethu futhi senze okungcono kakhulu emisebenzini esiyinikiwe. Kodwa ngokukaMathewu 6, kufanele sifune uMbuso kaNkulunkulu kuqala emva kwalokho, konke kuyonezelwa kithi.

Kunezikhathi ezimpilweni zethu lapho siba nokukhathazeka okuthile mayelana nokuthi izinto zisibhekise kuphi noma kulabo esibathandayo. Umphostoli uPawulu uthi kwabaseFilipi 4:19 ukuthi uNkulunkulu “ ... uyokwanelisa konke ukuswela kwethu njengokwengcebo yakhe enkazimulweni kuKristu Jesu.” (ESV)

Ukuhlinzeka kukaNkulunkulu akusho ukuthi sizothola yonke into esiyifunayo noma yonke into esingase sicabange ukuthi siyayidinga. Eqinisweni, uPawulu wabhala kwabaseFilipi 4:19 esetilongweni! Nokho, wayeqaphela ukuthi zonke izidingo zakhe ezingokomoya zihlangatshezwa kuKristu. Kunjalo nakithi: uma sihlala Kuye, sizoba nakho konke esikudingayo.

Uma uzizwa unamathele kule phethini yokukhathazeka, Usuku luka-3 luzokunikeza iziphakamiso zokuthi ungaphila kanjani ngendlela ehlukile esikhathini esizayo.
