“Izazi Ezihambayo”
Ngasosonke isikhathi uma kuqala uKhisimuzi, ngiyaye ngivule ifa lomndeni wami engilithanda kakhulu, isitsha esincane sengilazi esinevoti esingaqondakali esipendwe ngesandla ngaphakathi. Ikhandlela elifakwa esivumelwaneni. Kubonakala kuyisicefe, akunjalo? Kodwa, uma kukhanyiswa, kuba yinto ewumlingo kakhulu enginayo.
Umsebenzi wobuciko obabazekayo osesivumelwaneni owamakameli amathathu agibelwe iZazi anenkanyezi ekhanyayo esibhakabhakeni. Ukunyakaza kwelangabi kwenza izithombe zibukeke sengathi zihamba ngevasi enobisi i-votive ehlezi ngaphakathi. Ngiseyingane, ngahlala amahora amaningi ngibuka iZazi ziya ngasenkanyezini, ngingakaze ngibone ukuthi kwakuwukulokoza komlilo wekhandlela okudala lo mbono.
Njalo Ngobusuku Bangaphambi kukaKhisimusi, lapho bonke behlezi emibhedeni yabo, ngihlala ebumnyameni futhi ngibuke ukukhanya kwevasi yeZazi ehamba phambili ngaphambi kwami. Ngicabanga ngeZazi zangempela ezihlala zifuna, zicinga, zibheke kuMsindisi Womhlaba.
Ingabe siya kuJesu njengalezo Zazi? Noma ingabe sihamba emibuthanweni eqhutshwa umsebenzi? Izazi zazinenkanyezi enhle, ekhanyayo ezazizoyilandela. Idivaysi yethu yeGPS inamandla kakhulu: SinoMoya oyisibani sethu esingasoze sahluleka kuKristu. Kodwa, ukuze singahambi emibuthanweni engenanjongo, kufanele sizivale “thina” futhi sivumele ilangabi likaMoya lisigcine sisondela kuJesu.
Inkanyezi ayizange ihluleke iyZazi. Kwakungokwaphezulu, okwabekwa nguNkulunkulu ngokoqobo ukusekela isiprofetho sikaMika ngendawo yokuzalwa yeNkosi yethu. Impela, uMoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo awusoze wehluleka. Uyosiyisa lapho futhi uma simvumela ngokugcwele, Uyosifikisa lapho sijabule!
Lapho zibona inkanyezi zathokoza ngentokozo enkulu kakhulu. Sezingenile endlini, zabona umntwana enoMariya unina, zawa phansi, zakhuleka kuye. —Mathewu 2:10-11
Lesi sikhathi sonyaka kanye nekwezinye, gcina uMoya uvutha ngaphakathi! Hamba njalo ubheke eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu, njengeZazi. Akhathalekile ukuthi injani indawo, uma uMoya uhola, inhloso kanye nenjabulo kuyotholakala kuwo yonke ingxenye yohambo kuze kube usuku esikhothama ngalo futhi sikhulekele iNkosi yamaKhosi mathupha!

Kwabanye, uKhisimusi uyisikhathi senjabulo nokugubha. Kwabanye, kuyisikhumbuzo esibuhlungu salokho okulahlekile.
