"Okuphikisayo" Kwempilo
Akusoze.
Yigama elingavusa ukwesaba okujulile enhliziyweni enesibindi.

Amanga asuka emvelweni yethu enesono, futhi aphikelela esiphethweni osiwujuqu kwawo wonke amathemba ethu. Ungazihluphi ngokuphupha, kunyenyeza ngonya. Awukufanele. Yeka ukufisa lokho okungeke kwenzeke.
Ngakho-ke siyaqhubeka nokushayelela izipikili ebhokisini lezinkanuko zethu esizithandayo.
“UJehova akasoze ayiphendula imithandazo yami.”
Kodwa lena inselelo yokulinda uNkulunkulu. Ikhono lokuhlala sinethemba lapho ukuphila okungasoze kwaphela kusihlasela—lapho imizuzu, amahora, izinsuku, neminyaka ihamba ngaphandle kwezimpendulo ekunxuseni kwethu okunamandla esihlalweni somusa. Kuwukholo ukubambelela kuBaba endleleni ende lapho ingqondo yomuntu isitshela ukuthi siyeke.
Uma Amanga okuphila ekudikibalisa, uma ulindele uJehova ukuba agcwalise izithembiso zakhe kuwe, uma uzibuza ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu evumele ukubambezeleka okude kangaka ekuphenduleni ukukhala okujulile kwenhliziyo yakho—uma kulapho ukhona, mngani—khona-ke lolu wuhlelo olulungele wena lokufunda. Uma ubheka, uzothola incazelo kanye nethemba kulezi zikhathi zokulinda ukuthi iNkosi iphendule. Nakuba ungamboni esebenza, ungazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi unjalo ngoba uyaqinisekisa ukuthi “usebenza esikhundleni salowo omlindileyo” (Isaya 64:4).
Akugcini lapho, kodwa uBaba unesu elihle ngawe-izinhloso ezinhle kakhulu, ezikufanele ngokuphelele, futhi ezizokwenza impilo yakho ibe nenjongo. Nokho, uNkulunkulu unesimiso esiqondile—isimiso esivame ukuhluka kakhulu kulokho obungakulindela, angase akwenze ulinde ngale kwalokho okukwenza ukhululeke, futhi cishe uyokwenza ube nomuzwa wokuthi wonke amathemba asemhlabeni aphelile ukuze uphile ngikuncika kuye kuphela (2 KwabaseKorinte 1:9)
Engihlose ukukubonisa kukho kuzo zonke izinkonzo ezilandelayo ukuthi okuwukuphela “okungasoze” kufanele ugxile kukho ukuthi uNkulunkulu akasoze akudumaze (Duteronomi 31:6, 8). Ngakho-ke noma ngabe yini oyilangazelelayo—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kufanele ulinde isikhathi esingakanani—ungamethemba uBaba ukuthi uyokuhola. Futhi yazi ngokuqiniseka ngokuphelele ukuthi unentshisekelo yakho engcono kakhulu engqondweni.
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Ingabe ulindele ukuba uNkulunkulu aphendule imithandazo yakho? Ingabe izinsuku, izinyanga, neminyaka kudlula ngaphandle kobufakazi bokuthi ukulangazelela kwakho okujulile kuyoke kugcwaliseke? Uma kunjalo, awuwedwa. Joyina uDkt. Charles Stanley njengoba ekhuluma ngolwazi lomuntu siqu nezimiso zeBhayibheli ukuze akunikeze isikhuthazo lapho ithemba libonakala lingasekho kanye nesiqondiso sokukusiza ukuba usebenzise ngokugcwele ukubambezeleka kukaNkulunkulu.
