Ihloliwe futhi Yavunywa: Izifundo Ezingu-21 Zokuphila NezenkonzoIsampula

Usuku Lokuqala: Sizokwaziwa Ngesithelo Esizikhiqizayo

“Umuthi ubonakala ngesithelo sawo. Uma isihlahla sisihle, izithelo zaso ziyoba zinhle. Uma isihlahla sisibi, izithelo zaso ziyakuba zimbi.” ( NgokukaMathewu 12:33 NLT)

Amabhizinisi namuhla agxile ekuhlonzeni umkhiqizo kanye nokuma kwenkundla yezokuxhumana. Bakha okuthunyelwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ukukhangisa imikhiqizo yabo futhi basekele ubunikazi babo. Osaziwayo nosopolitiki bachitha amahora amaningi nemali eningi besungula futhi bevikela isithunzi sabo nemikhiqizo abayimele. Ingabe labo saziwayo nezinkampani ziyazi okuthile okufanele sikunake ezimpilweni zethu? Kubonakala sengathi iBhayibheli lisho kanjalo. KuzAga 22:1, iNkosi uSolomoni yabhala:

Igama elihle kufanele likhethwe kunengcebo eningi, futhi umusa ungcono kunesiliva noma igolide (ESV).

Singakanani isikhathi osichitha ucabanga “ngegama” lakho noma isithunzi sakho kanye nesithelo esivezwa yimpilo yakho? Kungakanani ukukhathazeka kwakho okunikeza isimilo nobuqotho obuboniswa yimpilo yakho nokuthi wenza kanjani isiko namagugu omndeni wakho?

Ku1 Samuweli 15, umprofethi uSamuweli wanika iNkosi uSawule umsebenzi. Watshela uSawule ukuba ahlasele ama-Amaleki futhi awaqothule nakho konke anakho. USawule wawahlasela futhi wawanqoba ama-Amaleki, kodwa akazange abhubhise wonke umuntu nakho konke ngemva kokuba ibutho lakhe linqobile. Kunalokho, wayisindisa inkosi yama-Amaleki futhi wagcina enye imfuyo nempahla. USawule akazange acabange ukuthi izenzo zakhe zaziyoba nemiphumela emibi. Njengoba ejabulela ukunqoba kwakhe, uNkulunkulu wazisola ngokuthi wayebeke uSawule abe inkosi. UJehova wathumela uSamuweli ukuba ayokhuluma noSawule mayelana nezenzo zakhe ezingaphelele, zokungalaleli. USamuweli wamtshela ukuthi uJehova wayekhethe enye inkosi ukuba ithathe isikhundla sikaSawule. Ngokushesha uSawule wazisola ngokuziphatha kwakhe futhi wafuna ukushintsha umphumela, ngakho wamncenga uSamuweli ukuba abuye naye phambi kwabantu. USawule wayefuna ukubiza igama likaSamuweli nedumela lakhe ukuze afihle isono sakhe, ethemba ukuthi abantu bazombona kahle. Ukube uSawule wayesiqondisile isifiso sikaNkulunkulu sokulalela phezu komhlatshelo futhi wacabangela imiphumela yezenzo zakhe ngaphambi kokuba kwephuze kakhulu, khona-ke ngabe wenza okulungile futhi wahlala njengenkosi. Igama elihle likaSamuweli lalingeke limsindise uSawule ngoba uSawule wehlisa isithunzi sakhe.

Igama elihle libaluleke ngaphezu kwengcebo enkulu. Igama lakho likhombisa idumela lesimilo sakho kanye nezithelo zezenzo zakho. Izindinganiso zakho zakha isisekelo sezenzo zakho nokuziphatha kwakho. Uma ukhetha ukwenza ngezindlela owaziyo ukuthi azilungile, idumela lakho elibi lizolandela. Uma ukhetha ukulalela uNkulunkulu ngezenzo zakho, idumela lakho elihle liyolandela.

Cabangela: Uma othile ubengabhala isitatimende ngesithunzi sakho, ungathanda ukuthi sithini ekugcineni? Bazokwazi yini ukusho lokho njengamanje? Kungani noma kungani kungenjalo?
