Uke Uzibuze ukuthi Kungani? Isampula

Uke Uzibuze Ukuthi Kungani Ungahlali Ubuzwa Ubukhona BukaNkulunkulu?

Akukhathaleki ukuthi ubulokhu ulandela uJesu isikhathi esiningi sempilo yakho noma kulezi zinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule, kungenzeka ukuthi uhlangabezane namazinga ahlukahlukene okuxhumana Naye. Ngezinye izinsuku ungase uzizwe useduze kakhulu noNkulunkulu. Ngezinye izinsuku, ungase uzizwe ukude kakhulu noNkulunkulu uze uzibuze ukuthi ingabe unokholo ngempela.  

Futhi lokho kujwayelekile. Kwesinye isikhathi, siyalingeka ukusho ukholo kuze kufike ezikhathini esiqongweni sentaba. Mhlawumbe ingalobo busuku bekhempu noma isipiliyoni enkonzweni lapho ububuzwa khona ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu, kodwa bese uvuka ngakusasa ekuseni futhi uzibuze ukuthi ngabe ubuzicabangela yonke into.  

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungase kube namanye amaKristu aseduze nawe abonakala engaphambili ngeminyaka kulula ohambweni lwawo lokholo. uzwe abantu besho izinto ezinjengokuthi, “Unkulunkulu wangitshela…” nokuthi “Ngisanda kumuzwa uNkulunkulu…” kuyilapho uzwa sengathi sekunezinyanga ungamuzwa uNkulunkulu.  

Konke lokhu kushuba kungase kukwenze uzibuze—kungani ngingakwazi ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuzwa ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu?  

Umbuzo oqondakalayo, futhi uma uzithola usenkathini lapho uNkulunkulu ebonakala ekude, awuwedwa. Ngakho yini ongayenza ekulindeni? Kungani singamuzwa njalo?  

Nakuba ingekho impendulo elula yazo zonke izimo, nazi ezinye izinto okufanele uzikhumbule lapho uzizwa ukude noNkulunkulu. 

1. Imizwa ayiwona ubufakazi bokungabibikho kukaNkulunkulu. Sinomkhuba wokwenza ukholo lwethu lube nomuzwa ozwakalayo. Singase sibheke ukwambulwa okukhulu okuvela kuNkulunkulu lapho esikhundleni salokho esinikeza isikhumbuzo esimnene. Futhi, ukholo lwethu aluncikile emizweni. Nakuba kunempilo ukuvuma imizwa esiba nayo, kufanele sikhumbuze imizwa yethu ngeqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani. Sibona izibonelo ezingenakubalwa zalokhu kuDavide kumaHubo. KumaHubo 13, ukhala ngokungamuzwa uNkulunkulu. Kodwa njengoba eqhubeka ebhala, uyazikhumbuza lokho akwaziyo ukuthi kuyiqiniso—uNkulunkulu unothando, uNkulunkulu uye wathembeka esikhathini esidlule, futhi uNkulunkulu ukufanele ukudunyiswa kungakhathaleki ukuthi siyamuzwa noma cha.  

2. Unkulunkulu angase afune wenza okuthile kuwena ngaphambi kokuthi Aveze okuthile kuwena. Kuwo wonke umBhalo, sibona uNkulunkulu ezembula, bese ebonakala eZifihla. Ngemva kokuba uJesu eguqule ukuphila kukaPawuli futhi embizela ukuba ashumayele izindaba ezinhle, uPawuli wachitha iminyaka emithathu ezulazula ogwadule. Ngisho noJesu—ngemva kokubhapathizwa nokuzwa izwi likaYise elizwakalayo—wachitha izinsuku ezingu-40 ehlane ngaphambi kokuba aqhubeke nenkonzo Yakhe. Ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu kungenzeka kwandulela isabelo, ngakho-ke cabanga ukuthi ulwakha kanjani ukholo lwakho, ukwethemba, kanye nesimilo endaweni ethule. 

3. Ukuswela kuveza ukudangala. Ukuzizwa sikude noNkulunkulu kuvame ukusenza silwele ubuhlobo bethu noNkulunkulu. Cabanga ngakho. Sivame ukuthandaza kakhulu lapho izimpilo zethu sizizwa zingalawuleki. Kungani kunjalo? Ukholo lwethu luvame ukukhula kakhulu esigodini—hhayi eziqongweni zezintaba zethu. Uma usesikhathini lapho uNkulunkulu kubonakala kungafinyeleleki kuye, qhubeka ukhale Kuye. Lokho kuphelelwa ithemba kungase kuqhube ukholo olujulile, kukusize ususe iziphazamiso, futhi uhlole ukuthi ingabe ikhona yini indawo lapho inhliziyo yakho ikhule yaba lukhuni khona kuNkulunkulu.  

4. Ngisho noma uzizwa uqhelelene noNkulunkulu, akalokothi asuke kuwe. ImiBhalo isitshela ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguMalusi omuhle, futhi izimvu zakhe ziyolazi izwi lakhe. IzEnzo 17:27 zisikhumbuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakude nathi. Futhi ngenxa kaJesu, uNkulunkulu enathi kodwa noMoya wakhe uhlala ngaphakathi kithi. Kudinga ukholo ukuqhubeka nokuthandaza lapho kuzwakala sengathi awuzwa lutho, kodwa qhubeka ucindezele. Unkulunkulu uyakubona, Uyakukhathalela, futhi uyosondela kuwe lapho ungalilahli ithemba.

Khuleka: Nkulunkulu, khulisa ithemba lami kokuthi Ungubani noma ngiyakuzwa noma cha. Ngembulele noma yini engase ivimbe ukuzwa izwi Lakho, futhi ungiphe inhliziyo ehlanzekile. Ngiyabonga ngobukhona Bakho, futhi uvule amehlo ami ukuze ngibone ubuhle Bakho ngezikhathi ezijwayelekile. Ngegama likaJesu, ameni.  

Inselelo: Cela kuNkulunkulu amehlo ukuze abone ukuthi ubuhle bakhe busebenza kuphi. Kungase kube ukuphuma kwelanga ekuseni noma izwi elinomusa elivela kumngani. Zibophezele ekubhaleni indlela eyodwa oyibona nsuku zonke, bese uyacabanga ukuthi ukholo lwakho lukhula kanjani kule nqubo.
