Isahluko: 2 IziKronike 20:1-30

Kunendaba enamandla eTestamenteni Elidala yenkosi uJehoshafati ebhekene nempi esabekayo futhi enonya eza kuye nakubantu bakaNkulunkulu. Esephelelwe ithemba, wabutha umbuso wakhe, wabiza ukuzila, bakhala kuJehova. Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu ekhuluma ngomprofethi, lokho Akwethembisa kwakushaqisa. “Ngeke kudingeke ukuthi niyilwe le mpi. Thatha izikhundla zakho; yimani niqine nibone ukukhululwa uJehova azoninika khona” ( 2 IziKronike 20:17). Ngokulalela, ibutho lakwaJuda lasondela ohlwini lwempi—kodwa hhayi ngezikhali namaqhawe. Bahlangana nesitha ngendumiso! “Futhi lapho sebeqala ukuhlabelela nokudumisa, uJehova wabeka abaqamekeli babantwana bakwa-Amoni, nabakwaMowabi, nabaseNtabeni yaseSeyiri ababefikele uJuda, kangangokuthi banqotshwa” ( 2 IziKronike 20:22).

Lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzela uJuda kwakuyisimangaliso, kodwa kwakungesona isenzakalo esisodwa. Wonke umuntu ubhekene nempi enkulu yesono nokufa.

Yafinyelela ekugcwalisekeni kwayo okukhulu lapho uJesu—ebheka ukuphelelwa kwethu amandla futhi ekhomba ethuneni—esitshela ukuthi ngeke kudingeke siyilwe le mpi, kodwa kumele siqine Kuye futhi sibheke lapho eletha ukukhululwa nensindiso ngokufa Kwakhe futhi uvuko! Ameni!

Iyini indima yethu kulokhu kunqoba? Ngokufana noJehoshafati nabantu bakhe, ukuphela kwempendulo yethu ukuthi sikhonze, sibonge, futhi sinikele ngezimpilo zethu ngokuzinikela ngokubonga kulowo obambe ukunqoba kwethu ingunaphakade. Bekuyisimangaliso ukubona abantu besebenzisa elithi “Impi IngeyaKhe” njengesikhali sabo sokukhulekela lapho bebhekene nempi.
