Ihloliwe futhi Yavunywa: Izifundo Ezingu-21 Zokuphila NezenkonzoIsampula

Usuku 3: Phila Impilo Yakho Ngesigqi Sokuhlonipha UNkulunkulu

“Yonke into inesikhathi sayo,  nesikhathi sayo yonke imisebenzi phansi kwezulu.” ( UmShumayeli 3:1)

Ungalichaza kanjani izinga lakho lamanje lokucindezeleka? Ingabe usuzibekele usuku lokuphumula isonto ngalinye? Ingabe uwuhlobo lomuntu owenza kahle ngeqiniso? Ungasho ukuthi unesidingo sokulawula abantu noma izimo? Ngabe wenza kahle kangakanani ukwabela abanye imisebenzi? Uma uphathisa abanye, ingabe kukwenza ukukhathazeka?

Uma ufunda le mibuzo engenhla, ucabanga ukuthi ihlobana kanjani nomqondo “wesigqi?” Impendulo ithi konke. Uyabona, abantu abamatasa benza izinto, bese benikwa okuningi okumele bakwenze.Uma ufuna ukukhulisa inhlangano, ukuyibona ithuthuka, futhi wandise izithakazelo zakho zomuntu siqu, kuzodinga ukuthi ufunde ukuhlela nokubeka phambili impilo yakho ngesigqi sokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu.

Nali iqiniso elilula mayelana nesigqi: kuyohlale kunokuningi epuletini lakho kunesikhathi sakho sokwenza. Ungalokhu uthi, "Into eyodwa nje, isizini eyodwa futhi, bese yonke into izobuyela ngendlela ejwayelekile." Yeka ukuzikhohlisa. Noma ekugcineni uqeda le sizini, entsha iza nezimfuno ezintsha nezibopho. Uma ungafundi ukusebenza kule sizini, yini ekwenza ucabange ukuthi eyakusasa izoba ngcono? 

UJehova wakhetha uMose ukuba ahole abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abakhiphe ebugqilini baseGibhithe baye eZweni Lesethembiso. UMose wathatha umsebenzi wokuxazulula izingxabano futhi ngokuvamile wayebhekana nokuphikisana phakathi kwakhe nakuNkulunkulu. Njengoba amaHeberu esohambweni lwawo, umukhwe kaMose, uJetiro, waya kuye wambuza ukuthi kungani ehlezi nabantu abamzungezile usuku lonke. UMose waphendula: “Ngoba abantu beza kimi ukuze bathole isahlulelo kuNkulunkulu.” ( Eksodusi 18:15 NLT)

UJetro wanikeza iseluleko esihlakaniphile ukuze asize uMose axazulule inkinga yakhe yesigqi. Watshela uMose ukuba “ufune kubantu bonke amadoda anamandla, amesabayo uNkulunkulu, athembekile, azonda ukufunjathiswa, abeke amadoda anjalo phezu kwabantu, abe yizinduna zezinkulungwane, nezamakhulu, nezamashumi amahlanu, nezamashumi.” (Funda u-Eksodusi 18:21.) Lapho uMose elandela iseluleko sikaJetiro, ngokushesha ukuphila kwakhe kwabuyela esigqini sokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu.

Le ndima yombhalo ikhomba olunye uhlobo lwesitha oluma endleleni yesigqi esinokulinganisela ezimpilweni zethu. UMose watshela uJetiro ukuthi wayesebenza ngendlela ayeyiyo “ngoba abantu bayafuna.” Wake wawela kulolo gibe? Oshade naye noma umngani wakho omkhulu uzobuza ukuthi kungani kufanele kube nguwe owenza wonke umsebenzi. Bese uphendula ngokuthi kungumsebenzi wakho, sengathi umhlaba uzophela uma ungenzi konke okubekwe phambi kwakho. Kungamanga ukuthi uwena wedwa umuntu ongenza okuthile, futhi lawo manga awumbulali wesigqi.

Cabanga: Libukeka kanjani isabatha lakho kuwe? Ingabe uyazilolongela usuku olujwayelekile lokuphumula? Uma kungenjalo, kungani ungakwenzi?

Baba Nkulunkulu, ngembulele amanga engiwakholelwayo achitha isigqi sobunkulunkulu empilweni yami. Egameni likaJesu, Ameni.
