Ihloliwe futhi Yavunywa: Izifundo Ezingu-21 Zokuphila NezenkonzoIsampula

Usuku 4: Funa Futhi Wamukele Okuyiqiniso

Bangcwelise ngeqiniso lakho; bafundise izwi lakho, eliyiqiniso.” ( NgokukaJohane 17:17 NLT)

Ungazibiza ngomfundi? Ingabe uzicabanga njengomuntu othobekile? Ungakwazi yini ukuthola iseluleko ngomqondo nenhliziyo evulekile? Noma ingabe uyazithanda futhi unenkani? Ingabe abantu bangakuchaza njengomuntu “okunzima ukuhola?” Ukuphatha kanjani ukuqeqesha lapho othile ezama ukukusiza ukuba uthuthuke? okuyiqiniso noma okungelona.

Abanye abantu bayafihla noma baphike iqiniso. Abanye bayalibalekela baligweme. Bafuna ukuhlangana nokuhle futhi besabe lokho okungekuhle. Kunokuba babhekane nephutha futhi bamukele iqiniso, bayolibalekela, bese benza umsebenzi onzima wokubhekana nezinkinga njengesinyathelo sokugcina. Usabela kanjani kulokho kuhlangana okuyingozi kobudlelwane okuvela empilweni yakho? Uliphatha kanjani iqiniso elingakhululekile?

Cabanga izibonelo ezintathu ezilandelayo zabantu baseBhayibhelini. Basabela kanjani eqinisweni? Ingabe bakuphishekela futhi bakwamukela? Noma babaleka bakucashela? 

• Inkosi uSolomoni yayingumuntu ohlakaniphile. Eqinisweni, iBhayibheli lithi wayengumuntu ohlakaniphe kunabo bonke abake baphila. Benzani abantu abahlakaniphileyo? Bamukela iqiniso futhi baphila ekukhanyeni kweZwi likaNkulunkulu. Lapho eneminyaka eyishumi nambili, uSolomoni wasabela esicelweni sikaNkulunkulu “sokungasho lutho” ngokucela uNkulunkulu ukuba amnike ukuhlakanipha nenhliziyo yokwazi umehluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi. Kamuva ekuphileni, abafazi bakaSolomoni abangamesabi uNkulunkulu bamsusa yena nombuso ekukhanyeni kweZwi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa impumelelo enkulu ayeyazi ekuphileni yayitholakala ngokufuna nokwamukela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu.
• USamsoni umahluleli wanikezwa umusa kaNkulunkulu ngomusa. Nokho, wayebonakala engaqondi ukuthi akekho kithi oqinisekisiwe unomphela umusa noma isibusiso kungakhathaliseki izenzo zethu. Uma kwenzeka siyeka ukufuna okuyiqiniso futhi sikwamukele, khona-ke siyozithola sivumela imicabango nezenzo eziwubuwula ezinemiphumela eyinhlekelele. USamsoni uyisibonelo somuntu oyisiwula. Abantu abayiziwula bangase bahlakaniphe kakhulu futhi babe nesiphiwo, kodwa kunzima ukuhola. UNkulunkulu wamnika amandla amangalisayo. USamsoni wayehlakaniphile futhi enobuhlakani. Amandla akhe amenza waba umbusi onethonya, ngisho naphezu kwezitha zakhe zamaFilisti. Njengomahluleli, wabenzela ubulungiswa abantu bakwa-Israyeli, kodwa kwaba ngenani? Isimo sengqondo nezenzo zikaSamsoni zaziwubuwula, futhi wayengumuntu onobunzima ngobuhlobo. Abantu abayiziwula bayamelana nokufaka futhi bayaphika umthelela wezenzo zabo. USamsoni wadinga ukulungiswa okuqinile okuvela kuJehova ngoba akazange afune futhi amukele okuyiqiniso. KuSamsoni, sifunda ukuthi ibuhlungu indlela yobuwula, kodwa ukuphuka kungaletha ukubuyiselwa. Ngokuthobeka kwethu, uNkulunkulu angafeza izinjongo Zakhe ezimpilweni zethu kungakhathaliseki ubuwula bethu bangaphambilini (bheka abaHluleli 13)
• U-Ahabi uyisibonelo esiseBhayibhelini somuntu omubi. Umuntu omubi ufuna eyakhe indlela futhi umelana neqiniso ngokuliphika futhi akhombe iminwe yokusola ngokumangalela, ukumelana, nokugencwa ngamatshe. Lezi izimfanelo ezazibonisa ukuphila kuka-Ahabi. Akazange afune uNkulunkulu kodwa washintsha izifiso zakhe futhi wamelana, kunokuba amukele iqiniso. Isifundo esisithola empilweni ka-Ahabi silula: ukuhlangana nabantu ababi kuzoguqula ukufuna kwethu kube ukuphishekela izifiso zethu zobugovu futhi kusivimbele ekwamukeleni iqiniso kunoma yimuphi umthombo (bona 1 AmaKhosi 16:30).

Cabanga: Ingabe ufuna iqiniso kuyo yonke imikhakha yempilo yakho? Ukufuna kanjani ukwazi intando kaNkulunkulu futhi uyenze?

Baba osezulwini, ngibumbe futhi ungithuthukise kakhulu ngibe ngumfanekiso nesimilo sikaJesu. Ngiphe isibindi sokubhekana nezinkinga ezinzima kanye nezingxabano engibhekana nazo nsuku zonke. Egameni likaJesu, Ameni.
