Ukunqoba Impi Engqondweni YakhoIsampula

Awukwazi ukulawula ukuthi kwenzekani kuwe, kodwa ungakwazi ukulawula ukuthi ukumela kanjani.

IMBUZI (enkulu kunazo zonke izikhathi) yokuhlela kabusha kwakungumphostoli uPawulu. UPawulu wayenesu elikhulu lokuqhubekisela phambili ivangeli—liya eRoma.

Uma ayengafika eRoma ashumayele ngoJesu kubaholi bakhona, leli dolobha lalingaba indawo yokusakaza ivangeli emhlabeni wonke.

Lapho uPawulu ekugcineni efika eRoma, kwakungekhona ukuhlanganyela uJesu nezikhulu zikahulumeni. Waya lapho njengesiboshwa. Wayevalelwe endlini, eboshwe ngamaketanga eqenjini elijikelezayo lonogada, elindele ukuthi abulawe. UPawulu wathandazela ithuba, kodwa akwenzekanga.

Izimo zikaPawulu zazingaphezu kwamandla akhe. Izimo cishe zihlala zingaphezu kwamandla ethu.

Uke waba lapho uPawulu ayekhona.

Ucabange ukuthi, Uma nje ngithola lezi ziqu, ngizowuthola lowo msebenzi. Uthole iziqu, kodwa awuzange uwuthole umsebenzi. Ubuhlele ukushada manje, kodwa awukamtholi uMnumzane noma iNkosazane. Noma uthole futhi washada nomuntu olungile, kodwa konke konakale. Lena akuyona indlela impilo okwakufanele ihambe ngayo. Sekuyiminyaka uthandazela ingane yakho yolahleko, kodwa uNkulunkulu akakawuphenduli lowo mthandazo.

UPawulu wayekuleso simo—izimo ayengazifuni futhi ayengenakuzilawula. Wabhalela ibandla laseFilipi ngalokho okwakwenzeka kuye. Angase athini? 

Ubengabhala athi, “Manje ngifuna nazi bafowethu ukuthi le nto eyenzeke kimi ibuhlungu ngempela. Ngangifuna ukusakaza izindaba ezinhle ngokushumayeza izikhulu zikahulumeni, kodwa akuzange kwenzeke lokho. Ngenxa yalesi sihogo engidlule kuso, nginqume ukuthi umthandazo awusebenzi, futhi ngeke ngiphinde ngibuyele esontweni."

Kodwa akukhona lokho uPawulu akubhala. Kungenzeka, kodwa cha. Khumbula, uPawulu akakwazanga ukulawula okwenzeka kuye, kodwa wayekwazi ukulawula indlela ayehlela ngayo. Nakhu empeleni akubhalela abaseFilipi:

Ngithanda ukuba nazi, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, ukuthi konke okungehlele lapha kwasiza ekusakazeni ivangeli; Ngokuba bonke abakhona, kuhlanganise nabo bonke abalindi besigodlo, bayazi ukuthi ngiboshiwe ngenxa kaKristu. Futhi ngenxa yokuboshwa kwami, iningi lamakholwa alapha liye lazuza isibindi futhi lakhuluma ngesibindi izwi likaNkulunkulu ngokungesabi. KwabaseFilipi 1:12-14

UPawulu wayethi, “Benginesu, kodwa uNkulunkulu ube necebo elingcono! Lena indlela ehluke kakhulu yokuqhubekisela phambili ivangeli kunalokho ebengikucabanga. UNkulunkulu ungibusisile ngonogada basejele ababoshelwe kimina. Akukho okunye abangakwenza ngaphandle kokulalela mina ngibatshela ngoJesu! La masosha anezindlebe zabaholi abanethonya! Futhi, thola lokhu, njalo ngamahora ayisishiyagalombili bangibophela unogada omusha! Futhi bacabanga ukuthi ngiyisiboshwa. Ha! UNkulunkulu uyanyakaza. Angisakwazi ukulinda ukubona ukuthi uzokwenzani ngokulandelayo!”

Awukwazi ukulawula ukuthi kwenzekani kuwe, kodwa ungakwazi ukulawula ukuthi ukumela kanjani. Kungakho ithuluzi lesithathu lokushintsha ukucabanga kwakho Isimiso Sokuhlela Kabusha: Hlela kabusha ingqondo yakho, buyisela umbono wakho.
