UngakhathazekiIsampula
Ukuhlupheka Kuyakuqeda noma Kuyakwandisa
Uma ingane ifunda ukuhamba iwa kaningi kodwa iphinde ivuke ize iphumelele. Ingane ayinabo ubunikazi obungamanga. Ngokuphambene, lapho sikhula futhi siwa, ngokuvamile sihlala phansi.
Umphostoli uPawulu wabonisa isimo sengqondo esihle lapho ebhekene nobunzima. Wayeboshiwe, hhayi ngenxa yokwenza icala, kodwa ngenxa yokulalela ubizo lwakhe lwaphezulu. Wabhalela abaseFilipi incwadi ethi: “Thokozani eNkosini ngaso sonke isikhathi, futhi ngiyaphinda ngithi thokozani!” Kunoma yisiphi isimo obhekene naso, ungaqonda ukuthi asincikile esimweni kodwa sincike kuMoya esiwuphiwe. Kufanele sikwazi ukuthi, “Phakathi kwesimo sami, ngiyathokoza eNkosini.”
UPawulu wayekhuluma ngesipiliyoni sakhe ekuphileni. Imfihlo yakhe iku Filipi 4:11–13. Uthi kungenzeka ukuthi ubhekene nobunzima noma ubuchichima kodwa ulokhu emile. Abantu bavame ukushintsha ngokusebenzisa ukweqisa abaphila kukho. Okunye okweqisayo okuhle, okuwukuphila ngobuningi. Okunye okweqisayo yilapho sintula noma siswele. Nokho, kokubili ukweqisa kwembula ukuthi singobani ngokusabela kwethu. UPawulu uthi, “KuKristu, ngihlala nginjalo.” Akukho okusishintshayo, ngoba singenza konke kuKristu oyisizathu samandla ethu.
UPawulu uzibonakalisa engumphostoli weqiniso ngokubonisa ukuqina kwakhe ngezincwadi zakhe. Akazange ethule lokho akufezile, kunalokho wethula amaqiniso. Kubo bonke ubunzima abhekana nabo, wahlala eqotho obizweni lwakhe. Lobu ubufakazi obukhulu kakhulu bomuntu onokuphila kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso: ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubhekene nobunzima obunjani, uyaqhubeka emkhonza. Izenzo zikhuluma kakhulu kunamazwi.
UPawulu wathi wayelinakekela futhi elithwalisa kanzima ibandla. Ukuhlupheka kwabanye okwakumcindezela, hhayi isimo sakhe. Le nqubo ekuphileni kwakhe ayizange nje iveze kuye ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu wenduduzo yonke kodwa yamguqula waba ithuluzi lenduduzo kwabanye. Lokho ahlupheka ngakho kwakunengqondo, ngoba manje wayeseqonda ukuthi ukuhlupheka kwakhe nalokho okwakwenzekile ekuphileni kwakhe kwakuwukulungiselela kukaNkulunkulu ukumenza akwazi ukududuza abanye.
