Lindela uNkulunkuluIsampula

Isici esisodwa sokukholelwa ngokulindelekile ukugcina ukugxila kwakho esithembisweni, hhayi esimweni, okuyinto ngezinye izikhathi okulula ukuyisho kunokukwenza. Sibona isibonelo esihle kakhulu sokholo ekuphileni kuka-Abrahama, ubaba wokholo lwethu. U-Abrahama wathenjiswa indodana futhi wathenjiswa nokuthi wayeyoba uyise wezizwe. Nokho, unyaka nonyaka wawudlula futhi wahlala engenandodana futhi engenazizwe. 

U-Abrahama wenzani? UmBhalo usitshela ukuthi wasuka ekukholweni waya ekukholweni, okusho ukuthi wakhula ngesivinini okholweni lwakhe futhi wahamba esuka enkazimulweni waya enkazimulweni. 

Silusheshisa kanjani ukholo lwethu? KwabaseRoma 4:20 uthi siqiniswa ngokunika inkazimulo. I-Amplified Version yombhalo ithi, “Waqiniswa ekukholweni, enika uNkulunkulu inkazimulo.” U-Abrahama wathola isithembiso sokuthi wayezoba nendodana nokuthi wayeyoba uyise wezizwe. Nokho, unyaka nonyaka wawudlula singagcwaliseki isithembiso. Ngakho, unyaka nonyaka, u-Abrahama wathi, “Ngidinga ukunikeza inkazimulo eyengeziwe.” Kulelo nalelo zinga lokulinda, wandisa ukubonakaliswa kwakhe kwenkazimulo. Wasuka enkazimulweni eya enkazimulweni futhi ukholo lwakhe lwaqina futhi lwakhula, kwaze kwaba yilapho sifunda kumaHeberu 6:15 (NKJV) “Futhi ngemva kokubekezela kwakhe wazuza isithembiso sakhe.”

Kwenzekani uma ukholwa? UNkulunkulu wethemba ukugcwalise ngenjabulo futhi ukugcwalise ngokuthula. Kungenzeka ukuthi usalindele ukuthi isimo sakho siguquke, ukuze ubudlelwane bulungiswe, ukuze ululame emzimbeni wakho noma wothandekayo. Noma kungenzeka ukuthi ulindele impumelelo kwezezimali noma isimo somsebenzi. 

Ngisaqhubeka nokukholelwa KWEZINKULU izimangaliso futhi kulula kakhulu ukungabaza ukungena phakathi nokuthi ukucabanga komuntu kuphazamise. Kodwa uNkulunkulu uthi, “Kholwa.” Khuluma iqiniso likaNkulunkulu kunoma yisiphi isimo ongase ubhekane naso. Ngiyathanda ukuthi ngikhonza uNkulunkulu ongagcini ngokungikhuthaza ukuba ngikholwe, kodwa futhi ngikholwe ubukhulu bentaba!
