Yonke uSuku lwaBangcwele
1 Novemba 2019
Ndithe ndisekwimilindo yasebusuku ndabona indawo enkulu, ezele ngamafu asezulwini, iintyatyambo namabhabhathane amibalabala ebhabha. Phakathi kwabo kwakukho abantu abaninzi abaqaqambileyo, abanxibe ezimhlophe, ababecula yaye bedumisa uThixo ngozuko. Emva koko iNgelosi yam yandixelela: bona abo, bangabaNgcwele kwaye loo ndawo liZulu. Ngabo abantu abathi eMhlabeni ngelixa bephila ubomi obulula nobuqhelekileyo bagqibe ekubeni balandele iVangeli neNkosi uYesu.Bangamadoda alula, angenanzondo, azele luthando nokunyaniseka.
Ukuqhubeka kwimilindo yasebusuku iNgelosi yam yathi: musa ukuvumela ukuthanda kunye nokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo zeli hlabathi kukususe kwintsingiselo yokwenene yobomi. Wena ehlabathini ulapho ukuze ube namava obomi ngokothumo oluphathiswe wena. Kodwa ukuba endaweni yokucinga ngale nto ucinga ngeshishini lakho ngelixa utyeshela into ebalulekileyo ke uya kubona i-bane yobukho bakho.
Kwangobo busuku umlindo uNgcwele weza kum wathi: mamela intsikelelo yeNgelosi yakho kwaye ulandele ingcebiso yakhe. Emhlabeni ndacinga ngeshishini lam kodwa xa ndadibana nomhlobo ebomini bam owavakalisa iVangeli kum, ndatshintsha ngoko nangoko isimo sam sengqondo. UThixo wasixabisa esi senzo sam kwaye waxolela izono zam kwaye emva kweminyaka emininzi yokuthandaza, uthando kunye nokuthobela uThixo, emva kokufa ndaza apha eZulwini. Ndingakuxelela ukuba ulonwabo kule ndawo alufaniswa nobomi obonwabisayo phakathi kobutyebi neziyolo. Abantu abaninzi apha eMhlabeni bayabutyeshela ubomi obungunaphakade becinga ukuba kufuneka baphile ngonaphakade, kodwa xa ubomi babo buphela, nokuba yayibubomi bolonwabo, babona ubukho babo njengokusilela ekubeni bengalifumananga iZulu.
Ke sihlobo sam, uNgcwele waqhubeka esiza kum, ngaba uyazi ukuba kutheni uThixo efuna ukuba umthendeleko wabo bonke abaNgcwele abaseMhlabeni usekwe? Ayikokwenza ukuba wenze ishishini, uphumle okanye uhambe kodwa kukukhumbuza ukuba ixesha lakho emhlabeni lilinganiselwe ngoko ukuba ulisebenzisa kakuhle kwaye ube ngcwele uya kunandipha ngonaphakade kungenjalo ubukho bakho buya kuba lilize.
Iyandivusa ukuba ndinike indawo yokulala yobusuku bomlindo ngomhla womthendeleko wabo bonke abaNgcwele kwaye ndacinga ukuba "mandibe Ngcwele ukuze ekupheleni kobukho bam nditsho ukuba ndiyiqondile eyona nto ibalulekileyo".
