Cinga namhlanje ngendima kaMoya oyiNgcwele ebomini bakho namhlanje
Uyise uZekariya, ezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele, waprofeta esithi:
Makabongwe uNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli. kuba weza kubantu bakhe, wabahlangula… ”Luka 1: 67-68
Ibali lethu lokuzalwa kuka-St. John the Baptist liphela namhlanje ngengoma yendumiso evakaliswe nguZekariya emva kokuba ulwimi lwakhe lunyibilike ngenxa yokutshintsha kwakhe abe lukholo. Wayehambile ekuthandabuzeni oko ingelosi enkulu uGabriyeli yamxelela ukuba akholelwe kwaye alandele umyalelo we-Archangel ukuba abize unyana wakhe wamazibulo "nguYohane". Njengoko sibonile kubonakaliso lwayizolo, uZekariya ungumzekelo kunye nomzekelo kwabo baswele ukholo, behlelwe ziziphumo zokungabi nalukholo kwaye ngenxa yoko batshintshile.
Namhlanje sibona umzekeliso opheleleyo nangakumbi wento eyenzekayo xa sitshintsha. Nokuba sithandabuze kangakanani na ngaphambili, nokuba sikude kangakanani kuThixo, xa sibuyela kuye ngeentliziyo zethu zonke, sinethemba lokufumana amava afanayo nakaZekariya. Okokuqala, siyabona ukuba uZekariya "uzaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele". Kwaye ngenxa yesi sipho soMoya oyiNgcwele, uZekariya "waprofeta". Ezi zityhilelo zibini zibaluleke kakhulu.
Njengoko silungiselela ukubhiyozela ukuzalwa kukaKrestu ngomso, usuku lweKrisimesi, sikwabizwa ukuba "sizaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele" ukuze sikwazi ukusebenza njengabathunywa besiprofetho abasuka eNkosini. Nangona iKrisimesi imalunga noMntu weSibini kaBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele, uKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu, uMoya oyiNgcwele (uMntu wesiThathu kuBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele) udlala indima ebaluleke ngokulinganayo kumsitho ozukileyo, ngelo xesha nanamhlanje. Khumbula ukuba kungoMoya oyiNgcwele, owagubungela uMama uMariya, ukuze amithe uKristu umntwana. KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, yayinguMoya oyiNgcwele owavumela uZekariya ukuba abhengeze ubukhulu besenzo sikaThixo sokuthumela uYohane uMbhaptizi phambi kukaYesu ukuba amlungiselele indlela. Namhlanje, kufanele ukuba nguMoya oyiNgcwele ogcwalisa ubomi bethu ukusivumela ukuba sibhengeze iNyaniso yeKrisimesi.
Kumhla wethu, iKrismesi iye yaxhaphaka kwiindawo ezininzi zehlabathi. Bambalwa abantu abathatha ixesha kwiKrisimesi ukuba bathandaze kwaye banqule uThixo ngayo yonke into ayenzileyo. Bambalwa abantu abaqhubeka bevakalisa umyalezo ozukileyo wokuzalwa komzimba kwiintsapho kunye nabahlobo ngeli xesha lokubhiyozela. Kwaye wena? Uyakwazi ukuba "ngumprofeti" wokwenene kaThixo Osenyangweni kule Krismesi? Ngaba uMoya oyiNgcwele ukugubungele kwaye wakuzalisa ngobabalo oluyimfuneko lokwalatha kwabanye esi sizathu sizukileyo sokubhiyozela?
Cinga namhlanje ngendima kaMoya oyiNgcwele ebomini bakho namhlanje. Mema uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba akugcwalise, akukhuthaze, kwaye omeleze, kwaye akunike ubulumko obufunekayo ukuze ube sisithethi sesipho esizukileyo sokuzalwa koMsindisi wehlabathi kuleKrisimesi. Asikho esinye isipho esinokubaluleka ngaphezu kokunika abanye abantu lo myalezo wenyaniso nothando.
