uGoliyathi Kumele Awe: Ukunqoba Impi Yakho Umelene NemidondoshiyaIsampula

INTUKUTHELO KUMELE IWE

Endabeni kaDavide noGoliyati, asiyiboni intukuthelo enkulu evela kuDavide. Esikubonayo abantu abaningi abathukuthele abaseduze kwakhe. Omunye onjalo, njengoba sesibonile, kwakungumfowabo omdala, “owamthukuthelela kakhulu” ( 1 Samuweli 17:28). U-Eliyabe kwakufanele amsekele uDavide lapho efika enkundleni yempi. Kodwa intukuthelo enhliziyweni yayilokhu ibhokile isikhathi eside, ilindele ithuba lokuba iqhume. Futhi yaqhuma.

Intukuthelo ayilungile ngokwayo. IBhayibheli lembula ukuthi kunesikhathi sokuthukuthela nesikhathi sokuveza intukuthelo yakho ngokufanelekile (bona uJakobe 1:19). UJesu wake wezwa intukuthelo ngezinye izikhathi (bheka uMarku 3:5). Kodwa-ke, intukuthelo iba yisidlakela uma isebenza ngendlela yayo empilweni yakho futhi inyibilika ngaphansi, njengoba nje u-Eliab encibilika ngaphansi.

Enye indlela yokwazi ukuthi lokhu kuyenzeka uma uzizwa uthukuthele ngento engakaze yenzeke. Mhlawumbe ubucabanga ukuthi umngani wakho wenze okuthile ngawe, kodwa empeleni akazange akwenze. Intukuthelo yakho izwakale ngendlela engafanele. Noma mhlawumbe unesizathu sangempela sokuthukuthela kodwa ukuveze ngezindlela ezingafanele. Njengo-Eliyabe, intukuthelo yakho ejulile iyavutha futhi ilimaza abantu. Noma mhlawumbe uye waba nentukuthelo kufanele kodwa wehluleka ukuyiveza. Ukucindezela intukuthelo yakho kubangela ingozi enkulu empilweni futhi ngempela kungenye yezinto ezilimaza kakhulu ongayenza.

Usinqoba kanjani-ke lesi siqhwaga esibizwa ngentukuthelo? Ukuthola kanjani ukunqoba uJesu asekunqobele lokho? Iqala ngokubona ushintsho oluhlala njalo aluvamile ukufika ngokushesha. Ngokujwayelekile, uNkulunkulu ushintsha impilo yakho kancane kancane. Isihluthulelo soguquko lwangempela empilweni yakho kamoya wukuzigcwalisa ngokukholwa njalo—futhi uhlale uxhumene nalokho uJesu akwenzayo ngaphakathi kuwe. Funda iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi ubeke intukuthelo yakho ngamaqiniso owathola lapho. Esikhundleni sezingxoxo ezithukuthele onazo engqondweni yakho uthandazele abantu abakonile. Zivumelanise nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi umeme uJesu ukuthi abe nokubusa okuphelele enhliziyweni yakho.

Kuyasiza kulokhu ukuzikhumbuza ukuthi awuphelele. UNkulunkulu wakuthethelela, ukuze ukwazi ukuthethelela abanye. UNkulunkulu wenza ukuthula nawe ngoJesu esiphambanweni, ngakho uma uthukuthele, buyela esiphambanweni. Qonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumphindiseli wakho, futhi ukukhulule ukuze wenze ukuthula nabanye. Yazi ukuthi lokho akwenzele kona kukhulu kunalokho umuntu angakwenza ngokumelene nawe. Ngamandla kaKristu, kuyenzeka ukuthethelela labo obathukuthelele-futhi ukhulule ubuhlungu obebufake ubuthi empilweni yakho.

Kubalulekile futhi ukukhumbula ukuthi uyindodana noma indodakazi kaNkulunkulu. Zikhumbuze ngaleli qiniso nsuku zonke. Kungenzeka ulahliwe abanye futhi uzizwa ungelutho, kodwa emehlweni kaNkulunkulu uyathandwa, uvikelekile, ukhuselekile, futhi ubalulekile. Vumela izwi likaJesu likhulume ngaphezu kwamanye amazwi azama ukuzwakala empilweni yakho.

Ekugcineni, ukususa umdondoshiya wentukuthelo kumayelana nokudedela ukulawula. Ngakho yenza njengoDavide futhi ugxile kuNkulunkulu kunabantu abakonile. Lapho wenza kanjalo, uyokhululeka ukuba uqhubekele phambili ngamandla kaNkulunkulu futhi wenze lokho akubizele ukuba ukwenze.
