Ingcebiso: xa umthandazo uvakala ngathi ngumntu omnye
Kwincoko nabantu abaninzi kule minyaka idlulileyo, ndivile amagqabantshintshi ebonisa ukuba umthandazo uhlala uvakala ngathi ngumntu omnye, ukuba uThixo uhlala ethe cwaka nangona ethembisa ukuphendula, ukuba uThixo uziva ukude. Umthandazo uyimfihlakalo njengoko ubandakanya kuthi xa sithetha noMntu ongabonakaliyo. Asinakumbona uThixo ngamehlo. Asinakuva impendulo yakhe ngeendlebe zethu. Imfihlelo yomthandazo ibandakanya uhlobo olwahlukileyo lombono nokuva.
EyokuQala kwabaseKorinte 1: 2-9 - Ke, njengoko kubhaliweyo, kwathiwa, Izinto ezingabonwanga liso, nezingaviwanga ndlebe, Nezingathabathwanga ngqondo, ezo uThixo wazilungisela abo bamthandayo, Zizinto uThixo azityhile kuthi ngoMoya wakhe. UMoya uphengulula zonke izinto, kwanezinto zikaThixo ezinzulu.
Sasibonakala sididekile xa izivamvo zethu ezibonakalayo (ukubamba, ukubona, ukuva, ivumba nokungcamla) zinamava okomoya kunokuba zibe nguThixo wenyama. Sifuna ukunxibelelana noThixo njengoko sisenza nabanye abantu, kodwa ayisebenzi njalo. Nangona kunjalo, uThixo akasishiyanga ngaphandle koncedo oluvela kule ngxaki: usinike uMoya wakhe! UMoya kaThixo usityhilela izinto esingaziqondiyo ngengqondo zethu (1 Kor. 2: 9-10).
Ukuba niyandithanda, yigcineni imithetho yam. Kwaye ndiya kucela kuBawo, aze aninike olunye uNcedo, ukuze abe kunye nani ngonaphakade, uMoya wenyaniso, ongenakufunyanwa lihlabathi, ngokuba lingamboni, lingamazi. Nina ke niyamazi; ngokuba uhleli nani, kanjalo uya kuba kuni. Andiyi kunishiya niziinkedama. Ndiza kuwe. Liselilifutshane ixesha, ukuze ihlabathi lingabi sandibona; ke nina niyandibona; Kuba ndiyaphila, nani niya kudla ubomi. Ngaloo mini niya kwazi nina ukuba ndikuye uBawo, nani nikum, nam ndikuni. Lowo unayo imithetho yam ayigcine, nguye ondithandayo; Lowo undithandayo uya kuthandwa nguBawo, nam ndiyakumthanda, ndizibonakalise kuye ”(Yohane 14: 15-21).
Ngokwala mazwi kaYesu ngokwakhe:
- Usishiye noMncedi, uMoya wenyaniso.
- Umhlaba awunako ukubona okanye ukwazi uMoya oyiNgcwele, kodwa abo bathanda uYesu banako!
- UMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala kwabo bathanda uYesu.
- Abo bathanda uYesu bayakugcina imiyalelo yakhe.
- UThixo uya kuzibonakalisa kwabo bagcina imiyalelo yakhe.
Ndifuna ukubona "ongabonakaliyo" (Hebhere 11:27). Ndifuna ukumva eyiphendula imithandazo yam. Ukwenza oku, kufuneka ndithembele kuMoya oyiNgcwele ohleli ngaphakathi kwam kwaye onako ukutyhila iinyaniso zikaThixo kunye neempendulo kum.Umoya uhlala kumakholwa, ufundisa, uyakholisa, uyathuthuzela, ululeka, ukhanyisela iZibhalo, unciphisa, ukhalimela, uvuselela, ukutywina, ukugcwalisa, ukuvelisa isimilo samaKristu, ukusikhokela nokusithandazela emthandazweni! Njengokuba sinikwa imvakalelo yenyama, uThixo unika abantwana baKhe, abo bazelwe ngokutsha (Yohane 3), ulwazi ngokomoya nobomi. Le yimfihlakalo epheleleyo kwabo bangahlaliyo nguMoya, kodwa kwabo kuthi, yinto nje yokuthomalalisa imimoya yethu yobuntu ukuba ive oko kuthethwa nguThixo ngoMoya wakhe.
