Indawo Yokuphefumula Isampula

Ngiyavuma: Ngingumuntu ojabulisa abantu. (Nawe futhi?) Ngiye ngabona ukuthi kukhona okungaphelele mayelana naleso sihloko, noma kunjalo. Ukujabulisa abantu kusho nokuthi ngingumuntu ophoxa abantu. Ukusebenza sekwephuzile ukuze ujabulise umphathi wakho kusho ukudumaza umngani wakho wokujima ngokweqa ijimu. Ukujoyina iklabhu yezincwadi ukuze ujabulise abangani bakho kusho ukudumaza othandiweyo yakho ngokupha isidlo sakusihlwa somndeni. Niyabo? Wonke uyebo ukujabulisa othile futhi kungukuthi cha okungadumaza omunye umuntu.

Uma unjengami, ukhokhela laba bantu ngokujabulisayo ngokudela igumbi lakho lokuphefumula futhi uzame ukukwenza konke. Ngizodla isidlo sakusihlwa ekhaya futhi ngifike ngemuva kwemizuzu embalwa ukuze ngibhukhe iklabhu! 

Njengoba siphetha ukubheka kwethu egumbini lokuphefumula, ngifuna ukwabelana ngendaba yeTestamente Elidala—ikakhulukazi ivesi elilodwa—eyashintsha isizini yonke yempilo yami. Emakhulwini eminyaka ngaphambi kukaJesu, idolobha laseJerusalema lalinqotshiwe futhi libhujiswe kakhulu. Ukwakha kabusha izindonga zomuzi kwakuphuthuma, futhi uNehemiya nguye owayehola lo msebenzi. Ngolunye usuku, wathola isimemo, futhi impendulo yakhe yaba ivesi elichazayo kimi. Unehemiya wathi, “…Ngenza umsebenzi omkhulu, angikwazi ukwehla. Kungani kufanele ume umsebenzi ngiwushiye ngehlele kini?”

Ngesikhathi ngiqala ukuzwa leli vesi, nganginezingane ezincane ezintathu ekhaya, ngangiifunda ekhaya, futhi umyeni wami wayevula isonto. Besingenalo igumbi lokuphefumula. Nokho, bekunzima kakhulu kimi ukwenqaba izimemo namathuba.

Engakuthola esitatimendeni sikaNehemiya kwaba yimvume yokubeka phambili abantu ababaluleke kakhulu empilweni yami. Ukuba ngumama “kwakuwumsebenzi wami omkhulu.” Angikwazanga “ukwehla” ukuze ngijoyine lelo komiti noma ngikhulume kulowo mcimbi wabesifazane. Ukuthi yebo kulezi zinto kungasho ukuthi cha “emsebenzini omkhulu” womndeni wami. 

Kwabesimame, singazinikela, isikhathi sethu, imali yethu, kanye negumbi lethu lokuphefumula kuze kungabi khona lutho kodwa okusele kulabo esibathandayo kakhulu. Kunalokho, masibuyise igumbi lethu lokuphefumula ngokunikeza esibathandayo isikhathi kuqala. Futhi kukho konke okunye, singamane siphendule, “Ngenza umsebenzi omkhulu futhi ngeke ngikwazi ukwehla.”

Uma ulujabulele lolu hlelo, bukela isifundo sevidiyo esiyizingxenye ka-4 esicashunwe ngokulanda  uhlelo lokusebenza lwamahhala lwe-Breathing Room Devotional.
