UMbuso MawuzeIsampula

UMKHULEKO:

Nkulunkulu, ngisize ngibone ukuthi usebenza kanjani kimi namuhla. 

UKUFUNDA:

Uma uwabuka nje, lawa mavesi angabonakala edida. Ingabe uPawulu ubonisa ukuthi insindiso yinto esiyizuza ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, into okufanele “siyisebenzele”? Siyazi kwezinye iziqephu eziningi zomBhalo ukuthi insindiso ayiyona into esiyifezayo; kuyinto esiyitholayo. Kuyisipho somusa esisiphiwe ngesihle esivela kuNkulunkulu. Pho, ukhuluma ngani uPawulu lapha?

Isihluthulelo sokuqonda inkulumo ethi “fezani insindiso yenu” empeleni sitholakala evesini elilandelayo lapho uPawulu ebhala, “nguNkulunkulu osebenza kini.” UPawulu ukhuthaza laba balandeli bakaJesu ukuba baqhubeke bethuthuka ekukhuleni kwabo ngokomoya. Ukulandela uJesu akusona nje isinqumo sesikhashana. Empeleni uchungechunge lwezikhathi nezinqumo ezengeza ohambweni loguquko. Esikhathini sesinqumo sakho sokuqala sokulandela uJesu, uNkulunkulu uthi umsulwa futhi ulungile emehlweni akhe. Ukunikeza isikhundla esisha nesikhundla njengomntwana kaNkulunkulu. Igama lezenkolo lalokhu ukulungisiswa. Uhambo olusele luwuhlelo okuthi ngalo sibe yilokho uNkulunkulu asesimemezele ukuthi siyikho ngokwezikhundla. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi ukungcweliswa. UNkulunkulu uzibophezele kule nqubo empilweni yakho. Usebenza kuwe “ukuba uthande futhi wenze ukuze afeze injongo yakhe enhle.” Kodwa akuyona into ayenzayo ngaphandle kokuhlanganyela kwakho. 

Umvangeli wangekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye uGeorge Müller washo kanje: “Ikholwa kumele liqede, lifinyelele esiphethweni, lisebenzise emiphumelweni yalo ngokugcwele lokho kakade eselikunikezwe nguNkulunkulu ngokomthetho... Kumele asebenzise lokho uNkulunkulu ngomusa akusebenzile.”

Yilokhu ekugcineni okumayelana nohambo lokukhula ngokomoya—ukusebenzela lokho uNkulunkulu asebenza kukho. Singabahlanganyeli noNkulunkulu emsebenzini wokuguqulo alwenzayo ezimpilweni zethu. 

UKUZINDLA:

Thola indawo ethulile futhi uzinze ukuze uchithe isikhathi uthule noNkulunkulu. Kungase kudingeke ukulwele, kodwa yiba nenhloso yokufika endaweni lapho ozokwazi khona ukuthula ngaphakathi. 

Cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi akwenze wazi ngobukhona bakhe. Mcele ukuba aqokomise indlela abesebenza ngayo kuwe nokuthi ungahlanganyela kanjani ngenkuthalo ekukhuleni kwakho okungokomoya. Okokugcina, mbonge ngokwethembeka kwakhe futhi umcele ukuba acijise ukwazi kwakho ukuthi umoya wakhe usebenza kuwe.
