Yazi Isizathu Sakho: Ukuthola Nokugcwalisa Ubizo Lwakho Isampula

Ukuthatha Umbono KaNkulunkulu

Enye yezinkinga ezinkulu ezibhekene nobuKristu namuhla ukwenqaba ukukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu angaba nendaba nekusasa lethu ngabanye, ukuthi uNkulunkulu angakhathalela ukuphila kwethu kwansuku zonke noma abe nezinhlelo ngathi ngaphandle kobizo lwenkolo ngokukhethekile. Ngokuvamile siyavumelana nombono wokuthi angase abize abanye abantu, kodwa kungase kube nokungazethembi okujulile ngokuthi uNkulunkulu angasisebenzisa yini. Uma kufika obizweni lwami kanye nekusasa lami, siyesaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu usesikhohliwe.

Singacabanga kalula ukuthi abezombangazwe, othisha, izisebenzi ezisiza abampofu, nodokotela bakuthola kulula ukuqiniseka ukuthi umsebenzi wabo uwumfuziselo wobizo lwabo lobuKristu. Kodwa kuthiwani ngalabo abangeke belaphe umdlavuza, abangeke balethe usizo, noma bashumayele endaweni yesikhulumi? Bangalubona kanjani ubizo oluhlukile kubo?

Ingxenye yempendulo ilele ekuzameni ukubuka umsebenzi wethu ngeso likaNkulunkulu, hhayi ngeso lezwe. Umhlaba uyasebenziseka ekwahluleleni nasezindinganisweni zawo. Lapho senza okuhle okusobala ngokwengeziwe futhi lapho abantu abaningi esiba nethonya elihle, kulapho umhlaba uyohlulela khona ukuthi imizamo yethu iyinzuzo. Kodwa lokhu akuwona umbono kaNkulunkulu.

Ekugcineni, ngisho nemisebenzi yethu emikhulu izokhohlakala emhlabeni. Yonke imizamo yethu iyoba wuthuli nomlotha ebusweni benkazimulo yaphakade kaNkulunkulu. Kukhona ubulula obuhle kulelo vesi ku-Isaya 40: “Utshani buyabuna, nezimbali zivuthuluke, kepha izwi likaNkulunkulu wethu limi kuze kube phakade” (ivesi 8). Uma kukhulunywa ngokufaneleka kobizo lwethu, sidinga ukuthatha umbono ongcwele futhi sikhumbule ukuthi izindinganiso zikaNkulunkulu azifani nezezwe.

Abanye abantu babizelwe ukwenza imisebenzi emikhulu—ukubusa amazwe, imizamo yokusiza eqondile, ukushumayela izigidi zabantu. Futhi abanye abantu babizelwe ukwenza izenzo ezincane zenkonzo—bathele ikhofi ngokumamatheka, bashanele imigwaqo, babhakele omakhelwane babo ikhekhe. Kodwa uNkulunkulu akazibheki lezi zinto futhi azibone njengezingenamsebenzi. Kuye kuwukuthululwa okuhle komoya wakhe.

Ubizo lokukhonza uNkulunkulu emsebenzini kungase kube ukuvuselela inkampani ehlulekayo. Noma mhlawumbe kuwukuba umngani othembekile nokholekile kosebenza naye obhekene nesikhathi esinzima. Nakuba izwe lingahlulela omunye njengobalulekile kunomunye, uNkulunkulu akakwenzi lokho.
