Thola i AppUmlingo KaKhisimusiIsampula
“Umi ngokulangazelela ngezinzwane”
Ngaphambi kokuba sishade, mina noJulie sasazi ukuthi sifuna izingane. Ngemva kweminyaka emithathu sishadile, sase silungile. Kodwa eminyakeni emithathu eyalandela, asikwazanga ukukhulelwa. Nyanga zonke, izinyanga ezingu-36, sasikhunjuzwa ngomzabalazo wethu wokungabi nabantwana.
Kwathi ngolunye usuku, sathola ukuthi uJulie ukhulelwe! Njengoba sasikulinde iminyaka emithathu lokhu, ungase ucabange ukuthi ukulinda ezinye izinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye beku lula. Akunjalo! Kwakubonakala sengathi kungunaphakade. Asikwazanga ukulinda ukuhlangana nale ntombazanyana esasiphupha ngayo!
Uke waluzwa lolu hlobo lokulangazelela? Ubusekucuphelelni kwesihlalo sakho. Abungakwazi ukuhlala uthule. Yikho kodwa obukhuluma ngakho. Umprofethi u-Isaya wenza ukuba abantu balindele lolu hlobo lokulindela. Wakhuluma ngoMsindisi owayezofika ngelinye ilanga. Wambiza ngokuthi “uMeluleki Omangalisayo,” “uNkulunkulu Onamandla,” “uYise Ongunaphakade,” “Inkosi Yokuthula.” Futhi wathi, “Ubukhulu bombuso wakhe nokuthula ngeke kuphele.”— Isaya 9:7.
Khuluma ngezindaba ezinhle ngawo wonke umuntu. Khuluma ngokulinda ume ngezinzwane zakho! Yile ndlela inkathi ye-Advent okufanele uzizwe ngayo. Sigubha ukuzalwa komuntu ongasenzela lokho okungekho muntu ongakwenza: ukusikhipha ebumnyameni asiyise ekukhanyeni, kusuka ekufeni asiyise ekuphileni.
Izinsuku eziholela kukhisimusi kufanele zigcwaliswe ngokuma kwakho ngamathiphu. Mhlawumbe ulindele okuthile okuhle ngalo Khisimuzi—leso sipho osifunayo ngempela, ukuhlangana nabangane noma umndeni, noma lelo siko likaKhisimusi elikhethekile. Noma mhlawumbe ulindele okuthile okungekuhle: ikhalenda eligcwele, inkumbulo ebuhlungu yobudlelwano obulahlekile, noma lelo lungu lomndeni elingaphathekile kahle.
Kuthiwani uma lo Khisimusi ubuhlukile? Kuthiwani uma ungase uchithe le nkathi ye-Advent ulindele okuthile okungakushiya ujabule, unelisekile, ugcwalisekile, futhi uthandwa? Ungakwazi.
Masiphendule ukulangazelela kwethu kuJesu—umsindisi wethu, ithemba lethu, uMsindisi wethu, udokotela wethu, insindiso yethu yaphakade, uNkulunkulu unathi. Ujesu wazalwa! Nami! Kwami! Masime ngezinzwane zethu futhi silindele uJesu ndawonye. Nazi izindlela ezimbili ezilula:
1. Nsuku zonke, vele ucabange ngegama likaJesu, futhi uvumele imicabango yakho isuke lapho.
2. Hlanganyela nathi njengoba izisebenzi zethu zisihola kule nkonzo: Umumangaliso kaKhisimuzi.
Angikwazi ukulinda. Ngethemba ukuthi nawe umile ngeziznwane zakho!
