Ngaba ubomi bakho bumiselwe kwangaphambili ngaba unalo naluphi na ulawulo?
Ithini yona iBhayibhile ngekamva?
Xa abantu besithi banekamva okanye ikamva, oko kuthetha ukuba abanakukwazi ukulawula ubomi babo kwaye bayarhoxa kwindlela ethile engenakuguqulwa. Lo mbono unika ulawulo kuThixo, okanye nakuphi na umntu ophakamileyo omnqulayo. Umzekelo, amaRoma namaGrike ayekholelwa ukuba isiphelo (oothixokazi abathathu) silumkisa isiphelo sabo bonke abantu. Akukho mntu unokutshintsha uyilo. Amanye amaKristu akholelwa ukuba uThixo uyimisele kwangaphambili indlela yethu kwaye ukuba singamathenda kwicebo lakhe.
Nangona kunjalo, ezinye iivesi zeBhayibhile zisikhumbuza ukuba uThixo angazazi izicwangciso anazo ngathi, kodwa sinokwazi ukulawula indlela esisebenza ngayo.
UYeremiya 29: 11- "Kuba ndiyazazi izicwangciso endinazo ngani," itsho iNkosi. "Zizicwangciso zokulunga hayi ezentlekele, ukukunika ikamva kunye nethemba." (NLT)
Masa ngenkululeko yokuzikhethela
Ngelixa iBhayibhile ithetha ngekamva, ihlala isisiphumo esimiselweyo ngokusekwe kwizigqibo zethu. Cinga ngoAdam noEva: UAdam noEva babengamiselwanga ukuba badle uMthi kodwa bayilwa nguThixo ukuba baphile egadini ngonaphakade. Babenokhetho lokuhlala eMyezweni kunye noThixo okanye bangazithobeli izilumkiso zakhe, kodwa bakhetha indlela yokungathobeli. Sinokhetho olufanayo oluchaza indlela yethu.
Kukho isizathu sokuba sibe nesikhokelo seBhayibhile. Isinceda ukuba senze izigqibo zobuthixo kwaye isigcine kwikhondo lokuthobela elisithintela kwiziphumo ezingafunekiyo. UThixo ngokucacileyo sinokukhetha ukumthanda nokumlandela… okanye hayi. Ngamanye amaxesha abantu basebenzisa uThixo njengomgxeki wezinto ezimbi ezenzekayo kuthi, kodwa enyanisweni kuhlala kukhetho lwethu okanye ukhetho lwabo basingqongileyo olukhokelela kwimeko yethu. Kuvakala kunzima, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kunjalo, kodwa okwenzekayo ebomini bethu yinxalenye yenkululeko yethu yokuzikhethela.
Yakobi 4: 2- "Uyafuna, kodwa awunayo, ke bulala. Uyafuna, kodwa awuyifumani le nto uyifunayo, ke uyalwa kwaye ulwe. Awunanto kuba ungaceli kuThixo ”. (NIV)
Ke ngubani onoxanduva?
Ke ukuba sinenkululeko yokuzikhethela, ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba uThixo akalawulwa? Kulapho izinto zinokuncangatha kwaye zidideke ebantwini. UThixo usenamandla onke - usenamandla onke kwaye ukho kuyo yonke indawo. Nokuba senza ukhetho olubi okanye xa izinto ziwela kwimijikelo yethu, uThixo usalawula. Konke oku kuyinxalenye yesicwangciso sakhe.
Cinga ngolawulo uThixo analo njengepati yosuku lokuzalwa. Uceba ipati, mema iindwendwe, uthenge ukutya kwaye ufumane izinto zokuhombisa igumbi. Uthumela umhlobo ukuba ayokuthatha ikeyiki, kodwa uthatha isigqibo sokumisa umngxunya kwaye akayiphindi kabini ikhekhe, ngaloo ndlela ubonakalisa kade ngekhekhe elingalunganga kwaye angakuniki ixesha lokuba ubuyele eontini. Olu tshintsho lweziganeko lunokonakalisa ipati okanye ungenza into ukuze isebenze ngokugqibeleleyo. Ngethamsanqa, ushiye icing okoko ushiyele umama wakho ikeyiki- kuthatha imizuzu embalwa ukutshintsha igama, ukukhonza ikeyiki, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo ngokwahlukileyo. Kusengumcimbi obethayo owawucwangcisile ekuqaleni.
Le yindlela osebenza ngayo uThixo, unezicwangciso kwaye angathanda ukuba silandele ngqo icebo lakhe, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha senza ukhetho olungalunganga. Nazi iziphumo. Banceda ukusibuyisela kwindlela leyo afuna ukuba siyenze ukuba siyayamkela.
Kukho isizathu sokuba abashumayeli abaninzi basikhumbuze ukuba sithandazele intando kaThixo ngobomi bethu. Yiyo loo nto sijonga eBhayibhileni ukuze sifumane iimpendulo kwiingxaki esijamelana nazo. Xa kufuneka sithathe isigqibo esikhulu ekufuneka siwenzile, kufuneka sihlale sijonge kuThixo kuqala, sijonge kuDavide. Wayenqwenela ukuhlala kwintando kaThixo, ngoko wayehlala ecela uncedo lukaThixo. Kwakukuphela kwexesha awazange abuyele kuThixo ukuba enze esona sigqibo sikhulu nesona sibi ebomini bakhe. Nangona kunjalo, uThixo uyazi ukuba asifezekanga. Yiyo loo nto esenza ukuba asixolele kwaye asiqeqeshe rhoqo.Uya kuhlala ekulungele ukusibuyisela kwindlela elungileyo, asikhokele ngamaxesha anzima, kwaye abe yinkxaso yethu enkulu
