Incindezi Yezomtholampilo—Ivelaphi?

Uke wazibuza yini ukuthi yini eyenza umuntu abe nengcindezi? Ezinye izinqumo ziyinkimbinkimbi kanti ezinye zilula kakhulu, kodwa isinqumo ngasinye sithonywa kakhulu izinto ezimbili: 1) umbono wethu ngesimo kanye 2) nemizwa yethu.

Imizwa idlala indima enkulu ohlelweni lokuthatha izinqumo. Esidlweni Sakusihlwa Sokugcina, uJesu watshela uPetru ukuthi wayezophika uKristu emahoreni ambalwa. UPetru wathi akasoze. Eqinisweni, wathi uzofela uKristu kunalokho.

Nokho, ngemva kwamahora ambalwa, nakuba uPetru ayazi okufanele akwenze, imizwelo yakhe yamvimba futhi waphika uJesu izikhathi ezintathu. Impela uke waba sesimweni lapho kuye kwadingeka wenze isinqumo ngaphansi kokucindezeleka noma imizwelo eminingi. Ingabe wake wenza okuthile wabe usuzibuza, “Ingabe leso kwakuyisinqumo esihle noma esibi”? Lapho sesikwazi ukwehlisa umoya, bese sibona ngokucacile, siyakwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezingcono. IBhayibheli likubiza ngokuthi ukwenza izingqondo zethu zibe zintsha.

Ukwenza izinqumo empeleni kuwukuhlanganisa umoya wethu, ingqondo, nomzimba wethu. Isakhiwo somzimba wethu sinqunywa izinqumo ingqondo yethu ezenzayo. Lezi zibizwa ngokuthi amasekhethi obuchopho. Izimiso zethu kanye nendlela yethu yokucabanga kuvela emoyeni wethu.

Empeleni lezi zinkolelo zikamoya zivela kuNkulunkulu naseZwini Lakhe. Lapho sisebenzisa iqiniso Lakhe ekuthatheni kwethu izinqumo, ingqondo yethu yenza lokho uNkulunkulu ayeyidalele ukuba ikwenze! Okubalulekile, izinqumo ezinhle zakha izifunda zobuchopho ezinempilo, ezisivumela ukuba sicabange ngokucacile futhi sisebenzise iqiniso Lakhe ngokwengeziwe.

Ekukhuleni kwethu, sonke senze izinqumo eziningi ezimbi. Uyazikhumbula abambalwa bakho? Izinqumo ezingezinhle ziholela ekulimaleni komjikelezo wobuchopho. Uma kuyekwa kungelapheki—ngokwengqondo nangokomoya—kungabangela ukuzethemba, ukucindezeleka, i-PTSD, ukukhathazeka, ukuzisika, ukuqamba amanga, ukubona izinto ezingekho, noma ukulutheka.

Kungakhathaliseki izinqumo zethu zesikhathi esidlule nezingezinhle, izindaba ezinhle ukuthi uJesu wafela izono, futhi uNkulunkulu uyabathethelela bonke abathembela Kuye; khona-ke uMoya oNgcwele uyafika ukuzohlala kithi, ukusinika amandla, ukuthonya, futhi uphulukise ingqondo yethu, umzimba, kanye nomoya. NgoNkulunkulu singazifela thina, senze izinqumo zikaNkulunkulu, futhi sivuselele izingqondo zethu.
