Yazi Isizathu Sakho: Ukuthola Nokugcwalisa Ubizo Lwakho Isampula
Ubizelwe Isibindi
Noma nini lapho siphuma ngokholo, sizifaka engozini. Noma nini lapho siqala sibe nethemba lapho sibhekene nokuphelelwa ithemba noma ukuphupha iphupho elingenakwenzeka, noma nini lapho sizimisele ukuzama lokho izwe elingase likulahle njengobuwula, asenzi noma iyiphi yalezi zinto ngokuqiniseka okuphelele ukuthi imizamo yethu izophumelela. Ngisho nezingozi ezithathwe ngamandla kaNkulunkulu ziseyizingozi!
UNkulunkulu akayena umuntu odinga amandla okwenza yonke imizamo yethu iphumelele. Ingxenye yokholo lobuKristu, ingxenye yokuzimisela ukuphupha, kusho ukuzimisela ukwehluleka. Kusho ukuzimisela ukuzifaka engozini ngenxa kaNkulunkulu, ngokwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu nguye ophetheyo futhi thina asilawuli.
Lokhu kulula ukukusho ephepheni, kodwa ekusebenzeni kungaba isifundo esinzima nesibuhlungu ukusifunda. Futhi uma sesishisiwe engozini eyodwa, kungaba nzima kakhulu ukuthatha enye. Ukwesaba ukwehluleka kungasimisa emikhondweni yethu. Kodwa uma singathathi izingozi, kusho ukuthi asiphili impilo yokukholwa, futhi “ngaphandle kokukholwa akwenzeki ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu” (KumaHeberu 11:6). Ukudlala ngokuphephile akuyona impendulo yokwesaba ukwehluleka; ayisoze yanelisa.
Emzekelisweni wamathalenta, esiwuthola kuMathewu 25, inkosi yavuza izinceku ezazizimisele ukuzifaka engozini yokwehluleka ukukhulisa lokho ezazikunikiwe. Lowo owadlala ngokuphepha, egqiba ingcebo yakhe emhlabathini ngoba ebona inkosi njengendoda elukhuni—isiqhwaga esinonya esingazange sikubekezelele ukwehluleka—wathola ulaka lwenkosi. Labo abathembela ebuhleni benkosi bavuzwa.
Kulabo abaye bazifaka engozini ekukholweni futhi bathola amathemba abo efika emhlabeni, kulabo ababenesibindi sokuphupha ukuthi uNkulunkulu angenza into entsha kodwa baye bashiywa bechotshoziwe futhi bedangele, uJesu uthi: "Kuhle! inceku enhle nethembekile!” Wenze kahle ngokuphupha, ngokuzimisela ukubona izinto ngendlela ezingase zibe ngayo kunokuba zinjalo. Wenze kahle ngokuphumela okholweni naphezu kokwesaba kwakho nokungabaza kwakho. Wenze kahle ngokuba nesibindi sokucabanga ukuthi ithemba lingase lingalahleki.
Ukwehluleka kwethu akukona ukwehluleka emehlweni kaNkulunkulu. Lapho siphuma okholweni, sihlala sinqoba, noma ngabe siyaphumelela ngokwemibandela yethu noma cha. Ubani owaziyo ukuthi uJesu angakusebenzisa kanjani ukwehluleka kwethu?
