Izizathu ezithandathu zokuba uThixo angayiphenduli imithandazo yethu

Icebo lokugqibela likaMtyholi lokukhohlisa amakholwa lelo kukubenza bathandabuze ukuthembeka kukaThixo ekuphenduleni imithandazo. USathana ufuna sikholelwe ukuba uThixo uzivalele iindlebe zethu kwizicelo zethu, wasishiya sodwa sineengxaki zethu.

Ndiyakholelwa ukuba eyona ntlekele inkulu yanamhlanje ku-Yesu Krestu kukuba bambalwa kakhulu abakholelwa kumandla kunye nokusebenza komthandazo. Ngaphandle kokufuna ukunyelisa, sinokumamela uninzi lwabantu bakaThixo ngelixa bekhalaza: “Ndiyathandaza, kodwa andifumani mpendulo. Ndithandaze ixesha elide, ngokungagungqi. Into endifuna ukuyibona bubungqina obuncinci bokuba uThixo uyazitshintsha izinto, kodwa yonke into ihlala ifana, akukho nto yenzekayo; Ingaba ndiza kulinda ixesha elingakanani? ". Abasayi kwigumbi lokuthandazelwa, kuba beqinisekile ukuba izicelo zabo, abazalwe emthandazweni, abanakufika kwitrone kaThixo.Abanye baqinisekile ukuba kuphela nguDaniel, uDavid kunye no-Elija abakwaziyo ukuthandaza NguThixo.

Kuyo yonke inyani, uninzi lwabangcwele baThixo balwa nezi ngcinga: "Ukuba uThixo umamele umthandazo wam, kwaye ndithandaza ngenyameko, kutheni kungekho luphawu lokuba uyandiphendula?". Ngaba ukhona umthandazo osele uwusitsho ixesha elide kwaye awukaphendulwa? Iminyaka ihambile kwaye usalinde, uyathemba, usamangele?

Silumkele ukugxeka uThixo, njengoko uYobhi wenzayo, ngokuba ngamavila nokungakhathali kwiimfuno nezicelo zethu. UYobhi wakhalaza esithi: “Ndiyakhala kuwe, kodwa akundiphenduli; Ndema phambi kwakho, kodwa akundikhathalele! (Funda uYobhi 30:20.)

Umbono wakhe wokunyaniseka kaThixo wawugqubuthele nobunzima awayejamelana nabo, ke watyhola uThixo ngokumlibala. Kodwa wamkhalimela ngenxa yalonto.

Lixesha lokuba thina maKristu siqwalasele ngokunyaniseka izizathu zokuba imithandazo yethu ingasebenzi. Sinokuba netyala lokumangalela uThixo ngokungakhathali xa yonke imikhwa yethu inoxanduva kuyo. Mandikubize ngegama lesithandathu kwezona zizathu zininzi zingaphendulwanga ukuba imithandazo yethu ayiphendulwa.

Isizathu sokuqala: imithandazo yethu ayamkelwa
xa ndingekho ngokweNtando kaThixo.

Ngeke sithandaze ngokukhululekileyo ngayo yonke into eqondwa ziingqondo zethu zokuzingca. Asivumelekanga ukuba singene kubukho Bakhe ukubonisa imibono yethu yobudenge kunye nengeniso engenamsebenzi. Ukuba uThixo ebemamele zonke izibongozo zethu ngaphandle kokwahluka, ebeya kuphelisa ukwenza ukuba ubuqaqawuli bakhe bungapheli.

Kukho umthetho womthandazo! Ngumthetho ofuna ukuphelisa imithandazo yethu kunye nokuzingca, ngaxeshanye ifuna ukwenza imithandazo yesicelo esenziwe kunye nokholo ngabanquli abanyanisekileyo. Ngamanye amagama: singathandazela nantoni na esiyifunayo, ukuba nje kukuthanda kwakhe.

"... ukuba sicela into ngokwentando yakhe, uya kusiphendula." (Funda eyoku-1 kaYohane 5:14.)

Abafundi abathandazanga ngokwentando kaThixo xa besenza loo moya wokuziphindezela nokuziphindezela; Bambongoza uThixo ngale ndlela: "... Nkosi, uyafuna na ukuba sitsho, kuhle umlilo ezulwini, ubakhuphe? Waphendula ke wathi kuye, Anazi ukuba niwuphi na umoya lo niwuvuselelayo. (ULuka 9: 54,55).

UYobhi, kwintlungu yakhe, wambongoza uThixo ukuba athabathe ubomi bakhe; Uphendule njani uThixo? Kwakungqubana nentando kaThixo .. ILizwi liyasilumkisa: "... Intliziyo yakho mayingangxami ikhuphe ilizwi phambi koThixo".

UDaniel wathandaza ngendlela eyiyo. Okokuqala, waya kwizibhalo kwaye wakhangela ingqondo kaThixo; emva kokuba ebenalo ulwalathiso olucacileyo kwaye eqinisekile ngentando kaThixo, emva koko wabaleka waya etroneni kaThixo eqinisekile: "Ndabubhekisa ubuso bam kuThixo, iNkosi, ukuba ndilungiselele umthandazo nezikhungo ..." (Daniyeli 9: 3) ).

Siyazi kakhulu malunga nale nto siyifunayo kwaye sincinci kakhulu malunga nale nto ayifunayo.

Inombolo yesibini: imithandazo yethu iyasilela
xa zenzelwe ukwanelisa iinkanuko zangaphakathi, amaphupha okanye ubuqhetseba.

"Buza kwaye ungamkeli, kuba ucela kakubi ukuba uchithe imali kwiziyolo zakho." (Yakobi 4: 3).

UThixo akasayi kuyiphendula nayiphi na imithandazo efuna ukuzukisa thina okanye ancede izilingo zethu. Okokuqala, uThixo akayiphenduli imithandazo yomntu onenkanuko entliziyweni yakhe; Zonke iimpendulo zixhomekeka ekubeni silawula kangakanani ukubhuqa ububi, inkanuko kunye nesono esijikeleze ezintliziyweni zethu.

Ukuba bendicebe ububi ngentliziyo yam, INkosi ibingayi kuphulaphula kum. (Iindumiso 66:18).

Ubungqina bokuba ibango lethu lisekwe kwinkanuko lilula kakhulu. Indlela esikuphatha ngayo ukubambezeleka kunye nenkunkuma sisikhokelo.

Imithandazo esekwe kulonwabo ifuna iimpendulo ezikhawulezileyo. Ukuba inkanuko yentliziyo ayamkeli into efunwayo, ngokukhawuleza, iqala ikhala kwaye ikhala, ibuthathaka kwaye ingaphumeleli, okanye ivele ngokulandelelana kokububula kunye nezikhalazo, ekugqibeleni ityhola uThixo ngokuba uyisithulu.

Bathi, Kutheni na ukuba sizile ukudla, ungasiboni? Xa sizithobileyo, aniboni na? (Isaya 58: 3).

Intliziyo ecekeceke ayinakubona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kwizikhuzo zakhe kunye nokulibaziseka. Kodwa ngaba uThixo akalufumenanga uzuko olukhulu ngokwala ukuthandazela uKrestu ukusindisa ubomi bakhe, ukuba kunokwenzeka, ekufeni? Ndiyothuka xa ndicinga ukuba singabaphi namhlanje ukuba uThixo wayengalahlanga isicelo. UThixo, ngokulunga kwakhe, unyanzelekile ukuba alibazise okanye ayikhabe imithandazo yethu de babe bacocekile bonke ubugovu kunye nokukhanuka.

Ngaba kunokubakho isizathu esilula sokuba uninzi lwemithandazo yethu ithintelwe? Ngaba isenokuba sisiphumo sokuqhubeka kwethu nokunamathela kwinkanuko yesono okanye kwisono? Ngaba silibale ukuba ngabo kuphela abanezandla ezinyulu kunye neentliziyo ezinokwalathisa amanyathelo abo aya kwintaba kaThixo engcwele? Ukuxolelwa okugqibeleleyo kwezono ezikuthandayo kuthi kuya kuvula iminyango yezulu kwaye kuthulule iintsikelelo.

Endaweni yokuyeka oku, sibaleka sihamba sisiya kubhunga sizama ukufumana uncedo lokuhlangabezana nokudimazeka, ulilolo nokungazithembi. Nangona kunjalo lilize, kuba isono kunye nenkanuko azisuswanga. Isono yingcambu yazo zonke iingxaki zethu. Uxolo lufika kuphela xa sinikezela kwaye sishiya yonke imbuyekezo kunye nezono ezifihliweyo.

Isizathu sesithathu: imithandazo yethu inakho
sinqatshelwe xa sibonisa ukungakhathali
ukunceda uThixo ekuphenduleni.

Siya kuThixo ngokungathi uluhlobo lwesalamane esisisityebi, esinokusinceda asinike yonke into esiyicelayo, ngelixa singaphakamisi nkqu nomnwe; siphakamisa izandla zethu kuThixo ngomthandazo emva koko sizibeka ezipokothweni zethu.

Silindele ukuba imithandazo yethu ishukumisele uThixo ukuba asisebenzele njengoko sihlala sicinga ngathi: “Unamandla onke; Andiyonto, ke kufuneka ndilinde nje ndimyeke enze umsebenzi. "

Kubonakala ngathi njengethiyoloji elungileyo, kodwa ayisiyiyo; UThixo akafuni ukuba namntu ungqiba uvila emnyango wakhe. UThixo akafuni nokusivumela ukuba sibabalwe abo basemhlabeni abangavumiyo ukusebenza.

Ke, oko besikuni, sakuwisela umthetho wokuba, ukuba umntu akathandi kusebenza, makangadli. (2 Tes. 3:10).

Ayikho ngaphandle kwezibhalo ezongezayo i-sweat kwiinyembezi zethu. Thatha umzekelo inyani yokuthandazela uloyiso phezu kokuvuma okufihlakeleyo okuhlala entliziyweni yakho; ungamcela nje uThixo ukuba awenze unyamalale ngokungummangaliso emva koko uhlale ngethemba lokuba uza kunyamalala yedwa? Akukho sono esiye sasuswa entliziyweni, ngaphandle kokubambisana kwesandla somntu, njengakwimeko kaJoshua. Ubusuku bonke wayeguqe phambi kwakhe ngokungcungcutheka kukaSirayeli. UThixo wambuyisela ezinyaweni zakhe esithi: “Vuka! Kutheni uqubuda kangaka ngobuso bakho emhlabeni? USirayeli wonile ... Yima, ungcwalise abantu ... "(Yoshuwa 7: 10-13).

UThixo unalo lonke ilungelo lokusisukuma emadolweni athi: “Kutheni uhlala apha ungasebenzi, ulindele ummangaliso? Ngaba akukhange ndikuyalele ukuba ubaleke kuyo yonke imbonakalo yobubi? Kuya kufuneka wenze okungaphezulu kunokuba uthandaze ngokuchasene nenkanuko yakho, uyalelwe ukuba ubaleke kuyo; awukwazi kuphumla de wenze konke okuyalelweyo.

Asinakuhamba imini yonke sinikezela ngeminqweno yethu kunye neminqweno yethu emibi, ukubalekela kwigumbi lokulala emfihlakalweni kwaye uchithe ubusuku emthandazweni ukuba wenze ummangaliso wenkululeko.

Izono ezifihlakeleyo zisenza ukuba siphulukane nomhlaba xa sithandaza phambi koThixo, kuba izono ezinganikezelwangayo zisenza ukuba sihlale sinxibelelana nomtyholi. Elinye lamagama kaThixo "nguMtyhili weemfihlakalo" (Daniyeli 2: 47), Uzisa izikhanyiso ezifihlwe ebumnyameni, nokuba singazama kangakanani ukuzifihla. Okukhona uzama ukuzifihla izono zakho, kokukhona uya kuzibonisa ngakumbi uThixo. Ingozi ayinakuze iyekele izono ezifihlakeleyo.

"Ubeka izono zethu phambi kwakho nezono zethu zifihlwe ekukhanyisweni kobuso bakho." (Iindumiso 90: 8)

UThixo ufuna ukukhusela imbeko yakhe ngaphaya kwegama labo abona ngasese. UThixo wabonisa isono sikaDavide ukuze agcine imbeko yakhe phambi komntu ongamhloneliyo; nanamhlanje uDavid, owayenomona ngegama lakhe elihle nodumo, umi phambi kwamehlo ethu engatyhileki kwaye usasivuma isono sakhe, ngalo lonke ixesha sifunda ngaye eZibhalweni.

Hayi- UThixo akafuni ukusivumela ukuba sisele emanzini abiwe aze azame ukusela kumthombo wakhe ongcwele; kungekuphela nje ukuba isono sethu asifikeleli kuthi kodwa kuya kusithimbela okona kulungileyo lukaThixo, ukusingenisa kumkhukula wokuphelelwa lithemba, ukuthandabuza nokoyika.

Musa ukugxeka uThixo ngokungafuni ukuyiva imithandazo yakho ukuba awufuni ukuva ukubizwa kwakhe. Uyakugqibela ngokunyelisa uThixo, umtyhola ngokungakhathali xa, kwelinye icala, ungoyena mntu unetyala.

Isizathu sesine: imithandazo yethu inokuba
iqhekezwe yimfihlo efihlakeleyo, ehlala
entliziyweni ngokuchasene nomntu.

U-Kristu akazukukhathalela nabani na onomsindo nenceba; siyalelwe ukuba: "Ngokususa bonke ubungendawo, kuyo yonke inkohliso, nokuhanahanisa, inkanuko, nayo yonke intlebendwane, njengabantwana abasandula ukuzalwa, nifuna ubisi lokomoya olusulungekileyo, kuba ngalo niza kukhula nilusindise" (1Pet 2: 1,2).

U-Kristu akafuni ukunxibelelana nabantu abanomsindo, abaxabanayo nabanenceba. Umthetho kaThixo wokuthandazela ucace gca kule nyaniso: "Ke ngoko ndifuna ukuba amadoda athandaze kuyo yonke indawo, ephakamisa izandla ezinyulu, ngaphandle kwengqumbo nangaphandle kwengxabano." (1Ti 2: ​​8). Ngokungazixoleli izono esone ngazo, senza ukuba kungenzeki ukuba uThixo asixolele asisikelele; Usiyalele ukuba sithandaze sithi: "sixolele, njengokuba nathi sibalela abanye".

Ngaba kukho ukukrokra entliziyweni yakho komnye? Sukuhlala kuyo njengento onelungelo lokuzibandakanya kuyo. UThixo uzithabatha nzulu ezi zinto; Zonke iimbambano neengxabano phakathi kwabazalwana noodadewethu ziya kuyicinezela Intliziyo yakhe ngaphezu kwazo zonke izono zabangendawo; ayimangalisi ke loo nto, ukuba imithandazo yethu iyathintelwa- siye sizijongela phantsi iimvakalelo zethu zokwenzakala kwaye sikhathazwa yimpatho yabanye abantu.

Kukwakho nethemba lokungathembani elikhulayo kwizangqa zonqulo. I-Jealousies, ubukhali, ubukrakra kunye nomoya wokuziphindezela, onke ngegama likaThixo.Asifanele simangaliswe ukuba uThixo usivalela amasango ezulu, de sifunde ukuthanda nokusithethelela, nkqu nakwabo baninzi esinabo. ukhubekile. Phosa uYona kule nqanawa kwaye isaqhwithi sizolile.

Isizathu sesihlanu: imithandazo yethu ayizeli
yiva kuba asilindi thuba lide
ngokwazi kwabo

Lowo ulindele okuncinci emthandazweni akanamandla aneleyo negunya emthandazweni, xa sithandabuza amandla omthandazo, siyaphulukana nawo; usathana uzama ukusiphanga ithemba ngokwenza ukuba kubonakale ngathi umthandazo awusebenzi.

USathana ulumke kangakanani xa ezama ukusikhohlisa ngobuxoki obungenasidingo kunye noloyiko. Xa uYakobi wafumana iindaba ezingeyonyani zokuba uGiuseppe ubulewe, wagula ngenxa yokuphelelwa lithemba, nokuba ibubuxoki, uGiuseppe wayephilile kwaye wayephilile, ngelixa kwangaxeshanye utata wakhe wayekhathazwa ziintlungu, ekubeni wayekholelwe kubuxoki. USathana uzama ukusikhohlisa ngobuxoki namhlanje.

Uloyiko olungathethekiyo luhlutha amakholwa kuvuyo kunye nokuzithemba kuThixo.Ayiphulaphuli yonke imithandazo, kodwa kuphela abo benziwa ngokholo. Umthandazo kuphela kwesixhobo esinaso nxamnye nobumnyama botshaba; Esi sixhobo kufuneka sisetyenziswe ngokuzithemba okukhulu okanye kungenjalo asiyi kuba nako okunye ukuzikhusela kubuxoki bukaSathana. Udumo lukaThixo lusemngciphekweni.

Ukuswela kwethu umonde bubungqina obaneleyo bokuba asilindelanga okuninzi emthandazweni; siphuma kwigumbi lokufihla emthandazweni, silungele ukudibanisa into ethile kuthi, singade singcungcutheke xa uThixo ephendula.

Sicinga ukuba uThixo akasiphulaphuli kuba asibuboni ubungqina bempendulo. Kodwa unokuqiniseka ngale nto: ukuba likhona ixesha elide xa kukho umzuzu wokulibala ekuphenduleni umthandazo, kokukhona uya kuba ufezekile ngakumbi; ixesha elide uthe cwaka, kuya kuphakamisa impendulo.

U-Abraham wathandazela unyana kwaye uThixo waphendula. Kodwa kudlule iminyaka emingaphi ngaphambi kokuba ambambe umntwana? Yonke imithandazo eyenziwa kunye nokholo iyamamela xa iphakanyisiwe, kodwa uThixo ukhetha ukuphendula ngendlela yakhe nangexesha lakhe. Okwangoku, uThixo ulindele ukuba sonwabe kwisithembiso esinqunu, sibhiyozele ngethemba njengoko silindele ukuzaliseka. Ngapha koko, usonga ezokukhaba ngengubo emnandi yothando, ukuze singangeni ekuphelekeni.

Isizathu sesithandathu: imithandazo yethu ayifiki
Fezekisa xa sizama ukuzimisa
Uza kusiphendula njani uThixo?

Ekuphela komntu esibeka iimeko kuye nguyena kanye esingakholelwa kuye; abo sibathembeyo, sibashiya bekhululekile ukuba basebenze njengoko bebona kufanelekile. Konke kuthoba kukungathembani.

Umphefumlo onokholo, emva kokukhulula intliziyo yakhe ekuthandazeni kunye neNkosi, iyazishiya ukuthembeka, ukulunga nobulumko bukaThixo, ikholwa eliyinyani liyakushiya uhlobo lokuphendula ngobabalo lukaThixo; Nantoni na ekhethwe nguThixo ukuba ayiphendule, ikholwa liya kuyonwabela ukuyamkela.

UDavid wathandazela usapho lwakhe, emva koko wanikezela kwinto yonke kumnqophiso kaThixo. Kuba esenzile isivumelwano kunye nam ... "(2 Samuweli 23: 5).

Abo banyanzela uThixo ukuba aphendule kwaye aphendule nini na, bayamkhawulela Lowo Ungcwele kaSirayeli. Kude kube nguThixo emzisela impendulo kumnyango omkhulu, abaqondi ukuba udlule ngomnyango ongasemva. Abantu abanjalo bakholelwa kwizigqibo, hayi izithembiso; kodwa uThixo akafuni ukubotshwa amaxesha, iindlela okanye indlela yokuphendula, uhlala efuna ukwenza ngokungaphezulu, ubukhulu becala ngaphaya koko sikucelayo okanye sicinga ukuba siyabuza. Uya kuphendula ngempilo okanye ubabalo olunge ngakumbi kunempilo; Uyothumela uthando okanye into engaphaya kwayo; Uya kukhulula okanye enze into enkulu nangakumbi.

Ufuna sishiya nje iimfuno zethu zishiywe kwiingalo zaMandla, sibeke ingqalelo yethu kuye, siqhubele phambili ngoxolo nokuzola silindele uncedo lwaKho. Enjani yona intlekele ukuba noThixo omkhulu kangaka onokholo oluncinci kuye.

Akukho nto inokuthetha enye ngaphandle kokuba: "Ngaba angayenza?" Mkani kude nathi kule nyeliso! Kukucaphukisa njani oko ezindlebeni zikaThixo onamandla onke. "Ngaba angandixolela?", "Angandiphilisa? Ngaba angandenzela umsebenzi? Mka kuthi ukungakholelwa okunje! Endaweni yoko siya kuye "njengakumdali othembekileyo". Xa u-Ana ethandaze ngokholo, "wavuka emadolweni akhe ukuba atye kwaye intetho yakhe yayingasonwabisi."

Olunye ukhuthazo oluncinci kunye nesilumkiso ngokubhekisele emthandazweni: xa uziva uphantsi kunye noSathana ehlebeza ezindlebeni zakho
Ukuba uThixo ukulibele, uvale umlomo wakhe ngale nto: “Esihogweni, asinguThixo olibeleyo, ndim. Ndilibele zonke iintsikelelo zakho zangaphambili, ngapha koko bendingenakungabaza ukuthembeka kwakho.

Uyabona, ukholo lunenkumbulo elungileyo; ukungxama kunye nokuthetha ngokungakhathali sisiphumo sokulibala izibonelelo zakhe zangaphambili, kunye no-David kufuneka sithandaze:

Iimbandezelo zam zikule nto, ukuba isandla sokunene sOsenyangweni siguqukile. Ndikhumbula imimangaliso kaYehova; ewe, ndiza kuyikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yakudala "(Iindumiso 77: 10,11).

Yenqaba loo nto ukumbombozela okufihlakeleyo emphefumlweni othi: "Impendulo iyacotha uyeza, andiqinisekanga ukuba izakufika."

Unokuba netyala lokuvukela ngokomoya ngokungakholelwa ukuba impendulo kaThixo iya kuza ngexesha elifanelekileyo; ungaqiniseka ukuba yakufika, iya kuba ngendlela kunye nexesha xa iya kuxatyiswa ngakumbi. Ukuba into oyicelayo ayikufanelekeli ukulinda, isicelo asikufanelekanga.

Yeka ukukhalaza malunga nokufumana kunye nokufunda ukuthemba.

UThixo akaze akhalaze okanye aqhankqalaze ngamandla eentshaba zakhe, kodwa ngenxa yokungakhathali kwabantu bakhe; ukungakholelwa kwabantu abaninzi, abazibuza ukuba bayamthanda na okanye bayamshiya, bayaphula intliziyo.

UThixo ufuna ukuba sibe nokholo kuthando Lakhe; Ngumgaqo ahlala ewusebenzisa kwaye awusuki kuwo. Xa ungavumi ngentetho yakho, ukhwaze ngemilebe okanye ubambe ngesandla, nakuko konke oku intliziyo yakho ivutha luthando kwaye zonke iingcinga zakho kuthi zezikaxolo kwaye zilungile.

Lonke uhanahaniso lilele kukungakholelwa kwaye umoya awunakuphumla kuThixo, umnqweno awunakuba yinyani kuThixo .. Xa siqala ukuthandabuza ukuthembeka kwakhe, siqala ukuzihlalela sinobukrelekrele kwaye sijongile. . Njengabantwana abalahlekisiweyo bakwa-Israyeli sithi: "... Senzele isithixo ... kuba lowo uMoses ... asazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kuyo." (Eksodus 32: 1).

Awuyena mntu ulundwendwe lukaThixo de uzinikele kuye.Xa sele usezantsi uvunyelwe ukuba ukhalaze, kodwa ungazinto.

Uthando ngoThixo lunokulondolozwa njani kwintlalontle? ILizwi liyichaza ngokuthi "ukubambana noThixo"; umntu obengade abe nesibindi sokufumana iziphene kuThixo, ebeya kumyalela ukuba abeke isandla emlonyeni okanye kungenjalo uya kubethwa ngumsindo.

UMoya oyiNgcwele ngaphakathi kwethu uyancwina, naloo lwimi lungashukumiyo lwasesazulwini sithandaza ngokuhambelana nentando kaThixo egqibeleleyo, kodwa izimbumbulu zenyama eziphuma ezintliziyweni zamakholwa angakhatlekanga ziyityhefu. Abakrokreli bakhupha isizwe siphela kwiLizwe Lesithembiso, ngeli xesha banamhlanje bagcina abantu abaninzi ngaphandle kweentsikelelo zeNkosi. Khalaza ukuba uyafuna, kodwa uThixo akafuni ukuba ube sisisulu.

Abo babuzayo ngokholo,
yiya phambili ngethemba.

Amagama kaYehova ngamazwi acocekileyo, Yisilivere enyibilikisiwe emhlabeni, Ehluzwe kasixhenxe. (Iindumiso 12: 6).

UThixo akamvumeli umntu oxokayo okanye umoni ukuba awungene ebusweni bakhe, okanye anyathele intaba yakhe engcwele. Singayifumana njani ke into yokuba loThixo ungcwele aphulukane nelizwi lakhe kuthi? UThixo wazinika igama emhlabeni, igama elithi "ukuthembeka okungapheliyo". Okukhona siyikholelwa, kokukhona umphefumlo wethu ukhathazwa; Kwangolo hlobo lokuba ukholo lukhona, kuya kubakho noxolo.

"... ngokuzola nokuzithemba kuya kuba ligunya lakho ..." (Isaya 30: 15).

Izithembiso zikaThixo zinjengomkhenkce echibini elinomkhenkce, Usixelela ukuba uya kusixhasa; okholwayo uqhubela phambili ngenkalipho, ngelixa ongakholwayo esoyika, esoyika ukuba uyakuqhekeza phantsi kwakhe amshiye enxilile.

Ungaze, uthandabuze ukuba kutheni ngoku
Awungeva nto tu kuThixo.

Ukuba uThixo uyalibazisa, oko kuthetha ukuba isicelo sakho siqokelela inzala ebhankini yeentsikelelo zikaThixo .Kwanjalo ke nakwabangcwele bakaThixo, ukuba uthembekile kwizithembiso zakhe; Baye bonwaba ngaphambi kokuba babone nasiphi na isigqibo. Baqhubeka ngovuyo, ngokungathi sele befumene. UThixo ufuna ukuba simbuyisele kwindumiso ngaphambi kokuba sifumane izithembiso.

UMoya oyiNgcwele usinceda emthandazweni, mhlawumbi akamkelekile phambi kwetrone? Ngaba uBawo uya kumkhanyela uMoya? Soze! Oko kugcuma emphefumlweni wakho akukho wumbi ngaphandle koThixo ngokwakhe kwaye noThixo akanakuzihoya.

isiphelo

Sisodwa soyisiwe ukuba asibuyi mva siyokubukela sithandaze; Siyabanda, sithathe inxaxheba kwaye sonwabe xa siphepha igumbi lokulala emfihlakalweni. Iya kuba lusizi luni na ke kwabo bafihla ubuqhetseba, bayifihla iNkosi, kuba engaphenduli kwimithandazo yabo, ngelixa bengashukumisanga minwe. Asiphumelelanga kwaye sizimisele, asizibekeli ecaleni kuye, asizishiyanga izono zethu. Sibavumela bayenze ngenkanuko yethu; Sithanda izinto ezibonakalayo, ivila, akukholeleki, siyathandabuza, kwaye ngoku sizibuza ukuba kutheni imibuzo yethu ingaphendulwa.

Xa uKrestu ebuyile akazukufumana ukholo emhlabeni, ngaphandle kokuba sibuyele kwigumbi lokulala eliyimfihlakalo, elingabakaKristu nelizwi lakhe.
