Isibusiso SojwayelekileIsampula

Izikhali ZikaSawule

uSawule uzwa izizathu zikaDavide zokuthi kungani ecabanga ukuthi angambulala uGoliyati, futhi inkosi ithi: “Hamba, futhi uJehova abe nawe.”

Kodwa ube esebona ukubukeka kukaDavide, futhi uSawule ubonisa ukuzisola komthengi ngaso leso sikhathi, “Ngane, ngiyazi ukuthi ubulele izilwane zasendle, kodwa awukwazi ukuphuma unjalo. Okungenani kufanele ubheke ingxenye.”

uSawule ugqokisa uDavide ingubo yakhe kanye nesambatho sakhe zempi. Ikhabethe lenkosi kanye nenqolobane yezikhali kuzoba okungcono kakhulu okutholakala esizweni sabo sonke. Cabanga uhweba ngeHonda yakho yango-2003 uthole i-King’s Rolls Royce noma umshini wokusika umshini omdala oguquguqukayo ukuze ujike uziro, ongamafidi amane ububanzi.

uDavide uhamba egqoke ingubo yakhe entsha ekhazimulayo… futhi uyayiphika.
“Angizijwayele lezi.”

Kwakungekho okubi ngezikhali zikaSawule; inkosi yayingafunda ukwethemba uNkulunkulu kuyo. Kodwa indwangu ephilayo yobuhlobo bukaDavide neNkosi yayilukwe ngodondolo nangendwayimane, hhayi amabhantshi egolide. uDavida wayazi ukuthi ukunqoba kwakungancikile ezikhalini nasezimbathweni zempi, kodwa ekuthembeni isimo sikaNkulunkulu esiqinisekisiwe. 

Kunezindida ezidabukisayo ekucabangeni kwethu okuningi ngendaba kaDavide noGoliyati. Ngenkathi sishumayela kwabaphansi, sinquma umbono wethu nesiqondiso sisebenzisa izilinganiso nezindinganiso zika“Goliyati”. Imikhonto emikhulu! Izihlangu ezinkulu!  

Ngenxa yalokho, kaningi sijaha “izikhali” ezinhle kakhulu laphaya bese sigeja lapho ebesingamazi khona ngempela uNkulunkulu ngalesi sikhathi samanje ngalokho esesivele sikunikiwe. Ngikholwa ukuthi uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ungakhanga kakhulu ezweni elilahlekile neliluthayo uma sifunda ukugubha ubulula bezisebenzi ezandleni zethu, kunokuba sifune izikhali zikaSawule ngesiko elivele ligcwele umona, ukuhaha, kanye nenkanuko. ukunganeliseki.

Angigqugquzeli ukususwa kwanoma yiluphi uhlobo lwesifiso sokuvelela; Ngiphikisa ngokuthi isifiso sethu esivelele kunoma yimuphi umzamo oshukunyiswa ukholo lwethu kufanele kube ukwazi nokukhonza uNkulunkulu ngesenzo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kulula noma kuvame kangakanani. Khonza uNkulunkulu ngodondolo lwakho nangendwayimane, ushizi nesinkwa sakho, futhi uma uNkulunkulu eke waba nesidingo sesethi yakho yamakhono Okususa Okukhulu, uzobe usulungile. Kodwa uma engenzi, usenenjabulo yokuthola uJesu nsuku zonke.

uNkulunkulu akakuceli ukuthi ubulale uGoliyati noma ube uDavide…noma uBeth Moore noma uJim Elliot… UNkulunkulu ukucela ukuthi ube ngowokuqala WENA.
