Wathi, Uthi: Amandla Okukhuleka Izwi LikaNkulunkuluIsampula
Ukungaqondi kahle: Izinqola Ezimbi nezinhle Kakhulu
Bekungenye yezimoto ezithusa amathumbu, ezifuna umphefumulo empilweni yami ngenxa yengxoxo eyodwa encane. Sasisanda kusuka Enkonzweni YangeSonto njengoba indodana yami u-Cole eneminyaka engu-5 ubudala imemeza esihlalweni esingemuva, “Angifuni ukuba ngumKristu!”
Noma ngangifuna ukumyala ngendlela yakudala, ngimise imoto eceleni komgwaqo, ngimshaye ngesiswebhu ngokucabanga into enjalo, ngazibamba.
“Kungani?” yilokho engangingakucabanga.
Impendulo yakhe? “Angifuni ukufela esiphambanweni! Kwaphela!”
“Ndodana,” ngaphefumula ngokukhululeka, “akudingeki ufe esiphambanweni! UJesu wakwenza lokho esikhundleni sethu. Eqinisweni, wafa ukuze sikwazi ukuphila Naye phakade futhi siphile ezibusisweni nasezithembisweni Zakhe!”
Ngingathanda ukukutshela ukuthi amazwi ami asebenza, kodwa awasebenzanga. Mhlawumbe ingqondo yakhe encane ayikwazanga ukukuqonda noma mhlawumbe enye ingane ekilasini yayimtshele okuhlukile, kodwa waveza le ngxoxo efanayo izikhathi eziningana onyakeni olandelayo kwaze kwaba yilapho, ekugcineni, uhambo lwesibili ngemoto luqandisa amathumbu.
“Mama,” iphimbo lakhe elincane lakhala ngokunqikaza esihlalweni sangemuva ngemva kwamaSonto amaningi, “Sengilungele ukufa esiphambanweni.”
“Cole,” ngasho ngomoya ophansi, “uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda. Ukuthanda kakhulu kangangokuthi akafuni ukuthi ufe esiphambanweni. Eqinisweni konke okudingeka ukwenze ukuze usindiswe futhi ube umKristu ukusho ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi futhi ukholwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo. Ingabe usukulungele ukwenza lokho?”
“Ngempela, mama? YEBO!”
Ngakho-ke sobabili sakhuleka: Mina esihlalweni esingaphambili, uCole ngemuva, ngiphindaphinda umkhuleko omnandi osewuthandazelwe ngabaningi izinkulungwane zeminyaka.
Baba oseZulwini, ngiyakholwa ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi. Ngiyakholwa ukuthi WaMvusa kwabafileyo. Ngiyakholwa ukuthi ngisindisiwe futhi manje ngizophilela Wena. Egameni likaJesu, Ameni.
Futhi, kulokhu, wakholwa. Kwakhanya. Kukhona okwenzeka lapho ukungaqondi kuphela khona.
Ingabe uke waba nakho ukungaqondi? Ingabe sikhona isikhathi lapho ucabanga ukuthi kufanele uthole uthando lukaNkulunkulu noma usebenze kanzima ukuze ufanelwe isivikelo nezethembiso Zakhe? Mhlawumbe uke wazizwa ufanelwe ukugula nokwesaba kanye nesizungu, ungaqaphelanga nokuthi uNkulunkulu unezithembiso ezwini Lakhe mayelana nalezi zindaba eziqondene nabantwana Bakhe. Uyingane Yakhe? Uma kungenjalo, cabanga ukusho ngokuphinda umthandazo ofanayo olotshwe ngenhla owakhuekwa yimina noCole eminyakeni eminingi edlule.
