UMbuso MawuzeIsampula

UMKHULEKO:

Nkulunkulu, ngifuna ukubusisa abanye ngoba ungibusisile. Ngibonise ukuthi ngingakwenza kanjani lokho namuhla futhi unginikeze isibindi sokulandela.

UKUFUNDA:

Zibone ngeso lengqondo uphenya inkundla yezokuxhumana bese uhlangabezana nokuthunyelwe okukuthukuthelisa ngempela. Ikhomba into engalungile kakhulu emhlabeni futhi inhliziyo yakho igqugquzelekile ukuzibandakanya futhi wenze okuthile. Ngakho-ke, wabelana ngokuthunyelwe, wengeza amagama akho ambalwa ukuveza ukuthi ucasulwe kangakanani ukuthi akekho onendaba ngokwanele ukwenza noma yini. Bese…uqhubeka nempilo yakho uzizwa ungcono ngawe ngoba uzibandakanyile. Awuyi ndawo. Awunayo ingxoxo yangempela nanoma ubani. Empeleni awenzi lutho. Kodwa uzizwa ngathi wenzile. 

Kuzwakala kujwayelekile? Lolu hlobo lokuhlanganyela selunegama. Kubizwa ngokuthi "i-slacktivism" futhi ngokusemthethweni kukwi-sichazamazwi sesiNgisi. Kuyindlela enqamulelayo—kanye nesifunda esifushane—esifisweni sethu sokwenza umhlaba ube indawo engcono. Lokho akusho ukuthi ukwabelana ngemibono nezihloko ezibalulekile akunanjongo. Kodwa ukwabelana ngolwazi kuyisinyathelo esisodwa kuphela sohambo olukhulu. Futhi uma sanelisa isifiso sethu sokuhileleka ngaphambi kokuba sihileleke ngempela, khona-ke sigcina siphuthelwe ingxenye ebalulekile yalokho uNkulunkulu afuna ukukwenza ngathi nangathi. Kufana nokuya endaweni yokudlela yakho eyintandokazi yama-Ntaliyane futhi uzigcwalise ngesinkwa ngaphambi kokuba ukudla kufike etafuleni. Uphuthelwa ukudla obukufuna ngempela. 

UNkulunkulu usibizela ukuba sibe ngaphezu “kokuvilapha”. Emavesini angenhla, encwadini kaGenesise, u-Abrama (maduze ozoqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi u-Abrahama) utshelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzombusisa, kodwa uNkulunkulu wabe esemtshela ngokushesha ukuthi ‘uyoba isibusiso. Kuyisipho esinenjongo ehambisana naso. UNkulunkulu ubusisa u-Abrama, ukuze abusisa abanye. 

Lena yindikimba esebenzayo naseTestamenteni Elisha. UPawulu uthatha lesi sihloko kwabase-2 Korinte 1:3–7. Ubhala ukuthi uNkulunkulu uletha induduzo, okungenani ngokwengxenye, ukuze siduduze abanye. Kubonakala sengathi ngokwesiko lethu singase silingeke ukuba sibhale kabusha amazwi kaPawulu, njengokungathi uthi: “Uye waduduzwa nguNkulunkulu, ukuze ukwazi ukwabelana nabanye ngomncabango obonisa ukuthi abantu abaningi badinga ukududuzwa emhlabeni nokwazisa abantu ukuthi ucabanga ukuthi kubi kangakanani ukuthi abanandaba.”

Ungagaxeleki. Akwanele ukuvele "uphinde ubhale kabusha" ukucasuka kothile mayelana nokuthi yini engalungile. UNkulunkulu usibizela ukuthi sibe yingxenye yesixazululo, esinzima futhi esibi kodwa esivuza kakhulu. 

Uma ubeke ukholo lwakho kuNkulunkulu ongazange angabaze ukungcolisa izandla zakhe, futhi aze abe negazi, ukuze akulandele, khona-ke kunengqondo ukuthi singacelwa ukuba senze okufanayo nakwabanye. 

NgoJesu, uNkulunkulu uye wenza ukuba sithole izibusiso eziningi, kodwa futhi usinike ubizo nenjongo—yokubusisa umhlaba. Sibizelwe ukuba ngokuphana sichithe isikhathi sethu, izinsiza, namandla ukuze sibambisane noNkulunkulu ukuletha ukuphulukiswa nokuvuselela kulo mhlaba ophukile. Sibusiswe ukubusisa futhi sashintsha ukuze silethe ushintsho.
