Izizathu eziyisithupha ezenza uNkulunkulu angayiphenduli imithandazo yethu

Isu lokugcina likaDeveli lokukhohlisa amakholwa lelo lokubenza bangabaze ukuthembeka kukaNkulunkulu ekuphenduleni imithandazo. USathane ufuna sikholelwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzivalele izindlebe zakhe ekunxusa kwethu, wasishiya sodwa nezinkinga zethu.

Ngikholelwa ukuthi usizi olukhulu esontweni lanamuhla likaJesu Kristu ukuthi bambalwa kakhulu abakholelwa emandleni nasekusebenzeni komkhuleko. Ngaphandle kokufuna ukuhlambalaza, singalalela abaningi kubantu bakaNkulunkulu ngenkathi bekhononda: “Ngiyakhuleka, kepha angitholi mpendulo. Ngakhuleka isikhathi eside, ngenhliziyo yonke, kwanhlanga zimuka nomoya. Engifuna ukukubona kuwubufakazi obuncane bokuthi uNkulunkulu uguqula izinto, kepha konke kuhlale kunjalo, akukho okwenzekayo; Kuzomele ngilinde isikhathi esingakanani? ". Abasayi egumbini lokuthandazela, ngoba bayaqiniseka ukuthi izicelo zabo, ezizalwe ngomkhuleko, ngeke zifike esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. Abanye bayaqiniseka ukuthi yizinhlobo ezinjengoDaniel, uDavid no-Elija kuphela abakwaziyo ukwenza umthandazo wabo UNkulunkulu.

Kukho konke ukuthembeka, osanta abaningi bakaNkulunkulu balwa nale micabango: "Uma uNkulunkulu elalela umkhuleko wami, futhi ngithandaza ngenkuthalo, kungani kungenasibonakaliso sokuthi Uyangiphendula?". Ingabe ukhona umthandazo osukhulume isikhathi eside kanti kuze kube manje awukaphendulwa? Iminyaka idlulile futhi usalinde, unethemba, usamangazwe?

Siyaqikelela ukuthi singamsoli uNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenza uJobe, ngokuba ngamavila nokungazinaki izidingo nezicelo zethu. UJobe wakhalaza: “Ngiyakhala kuwe, kepha awungiphendule; Ngimi phambi kwakho, kepha awungicabangi! " (Funda uJobe 30:20.)

Umbono wakhe wokwethembeka kukaNkulunkulu wawumbozwa ubunzima ayehlangana nabo, ngakho-ke wasola uNkulunkulu ngokumkhohlwa. Kepha wamkhuza kakhulu ngenxa yalokhu.

Yisikhathi sokuthi thina maKhristu sibhekisise ngobuqotho ukuthi kungani imithandazo yethu ingaphumeleli. Singaba necala lokumangalela uNkulunkulu ngokunganaki lapho yonke imikhuba yethu ibhekene nayo. Ake ngikubize ngezizathu eziyisithupha zokuthi kungani imithandazo yethu ingaphendulwa.

Isizathu sokuqala: imithandazo yethu ayemukelwa
lapho ngingesngokwentando kaNkulunkulu.

Ngeke sithandaze ngokukhululekile ngakho konke okucatshangwa yingqondo yethu yobugovu. Asivunyelwe ukungena ebukhoneni Bakhe ukukhombisa imibono yethu yobuwula kanye nezinzuzo ezingenangqondo. Ukube uNkulunkulu ubelalele zonke izicelo zethu ngaphandle kokwehlukanisa, ubengagcina enza inkazimulo yakhe inyamalale.

Kukhona umthetho womkhuleko! Kungumthetho ofuna ukuqeda imikhuleko yethu ezincanyana kanye nokuzicabangela thina, ngasikhathi sinye sifuna ukwenza ukuthi kube nemikhuleko yesicelo esenziwe ngokholo ngabakhulekeli abaqotho. Ngamanye amagama: singathandazela noma yini esiyifunayo, inqobo nje uma kusentandweni yaKhe.

"... uma sicela okuthile ngokwentando yakhe, uzosiphendula." (Funda eyoku-1 Johane 5:14.)

Abafundi abathandazanga ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu lapho bekwenza lokho begcotshwe umoya wokuziphindisela nokuziphindisela; bancenga uNkulunkulu ngale ndlela: "... Nkosi, ingabe ufuna ukuba sithi umlilo wehla uvela ezulwini ubadle? Kepha uJesu wamphendula wathi: "Anazi ukuthi niwuphi umoya. (NgokukaLuka 9: 54,55).

UJobe, ebuhlungwini bakhe, wanxusa uNkulunkulu ukuba athathe impilo yakhe; Wasabela kanjani uNkulunkulu kulo mkhuleko? Kwakungqubuzana nentando kaNkulunkulu. IZwi liyasixwayisa: "... inhliziyo yakho akufanele isheshe ukukhuluma izwi phambi kukaNkulunkulu".

UDaniel wathandaza ngendlela eyiyo. Okokuqala, waya emibhalweni wahlola ingqondo kaNkulunkulu; esethole umhlahlandlela ocacile futhi eqiniseka ngentando kaNkulunkulu, wabe esegijimela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu eqinisekile: "Ngakho-ke ngabhekisa ubuso bami kuNkulunkulu, iNkosi, ukuba ngizilungiselele ngomkhuleko nokunxusa ..." (Daniyeli 9: 3) ).

Sazi kakhulu ngalokho esikufunayo futhi kuncane kakhulu ngalokho akufunayo.

Isizathu inombolo yesibili: imithandazo yethu ingahluleka
lapho zenzelwe ukwanelisa izifiso zangaphakathi, amaphupho noma ubuqili.

"Buza futhi ungamukeli, ngoba ucela kabi ukusebenzisa imali enjabulweni yakho." (Jakobe 4: 3).

UNkulunkulu ngeke aphendule noma imiphi imithandazo efuna ukuzihlonipha thina noma ukusiza izilingo zethu. Okokuqala, uNkulunkulu akayiphenduli imithandazo yomuntu oze nenkanuko enhliziyweni yakhe; Zonke izimpendulo zincike ekutheni singakanani esikwenzayo ukulwa nobubi, inkanuko nesono esisizungeze ezinhliziyweni zethu.

"Ukube bengihlele ububi enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ibingangilaleli." (AmaHubo 66:18).

Ubufakazi bokuthi isimangalo sethu sisekelwa ekukholweni silula kakhulu. Indlela esikuphatha ngayo ukubambezeleka kanye nemfucuza iyinkomba.

Imikhuleko esekwe kunenjabulo idinga izimpendulo ezisheshayo. Uma inhliziyo yenkanuko ingayamukeli into efunwayo, iqala ukukhala ikhala, yenze buthaka futhi ihluleke, noma ivele ngokulandelana kokububula nezikhalazo, ekugcineni imangalele uNkulunkulu ngokuba yisithulu.

Bathi: "Kungani, lapho sasizila ukudla, awusibonanga na? Ngesikhathi sizithoba, awuboni yini? " (Isaya 58: 3).

Inhliziyo ethokozisayo ayikwazi ukubona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ezimeni nasekubambezelweni Kwakhe. Kepha uNkulunkulu akazange amukele inkazimulo enkulu ngokwenqaba umthandazo kaKristu wokusindisa impilo yakhe, uma kungenzeka, ekufeni? Ngiyathuthumela ngicabanga ukuthi singaba kuphi namhlanje ukube uNkulunkulu akasenqabanga leso sicelo. UNkulunkulu, ngokulunga Kwakhe, uphoqelekile ukuba abambezele noma alahle imikhuleko yethu aze asulwe bonke ubugovu nokukhanuka.

Kungaba khona isizathu esilula sokuthi kungani iningi lemithandazo yethu livinjelwa? Kungenzeka ukuthi kungumphumela wokuqhubeka kwethu nokunamathela enkanukweni noma esonweni? Sikhohliwe yini ukuthi yilabo kuphela abanezandla nezinhliziyo ezihlanzekile abangahola izinyathelo zabo bebheke entabeni engcwele kaNkulunkulu? Ukuthethelelwa okuphelele kwezono ezithandekayo kithi kuphela okuyovula iminyango yezulu futhi kuthulule izibusiso.

Esikhundleni sokunikela kulokhu, sigijimisana nekhansela siye kwikhansela sizama ukuthola usizo lokubhekana nokuphelelwa yithemba, ukungabi nathemba nokungabi nathemba. Kodwa-ke konke akusizi ngalutho, ngoba isono nenkanuko akukasuswa. Isono siyimpande yazo zonke izinkinga zethu. Ukuthula kuza kuphela lapho sinikela futhi sishiya yonke imfanelo nezono ezifihliwe.

Isizathu sesithathu: imithandazo yethu ingakwazi
senqatshwe lapho singakhombisi ukukhuthala
ukusiza uNkulunkulu ekuphenduleni.

Siya kuNkulunkulu kube sengathi uluhlobo lwesihlobo esicebile, esingasisiza futhi asinike konke esikucelayo, ngenkathi singaphakamisi ngisho nomunwe; siphakamisa izandla zethu kuNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko bese sizifaka emaphaketheni ethu.

Silindele ukuba imithandazo yethu ishukumisele uNkulunkulu ukuba asisebenzele njengoba sizihlalela sicabanga ngathi: “Unamandla onke; Angiyilutho, ngakho-ke nje kufanele ngilinde ukuthi amenze umsebenzi. ”

Kubukeka njengenkolelo-mbono enhle, kepha akunjalo; UNkulunkulu akafuni ukuba nesinxibi esilivila emnyango wakhe. UNkulunkulu akafuni nokusivumela ukuthi sinikele ngenhliziyo kulabo abasemhlabeni abenqabayo ukusebenza.

"Eqinisweni, besinawe, sikuyale ngalokhu: ukuthi uma umuntu engafuni ukusebenza, akadingi ngisho nokudla." (2 Thes. 3:10).

Ngaphandle kwemibhalo sifaka izithukuthuku izinyembezi zethu. Thatha ngokwesibonelo iqiniso lokuthandazela ukunqoba ekuzilandeleni okuyimfihlo okuhlala enhliziyweni yakho; ungamcela nje uNkulunkulu ukuthi awenze unyamalale ngokuyisimangaliso bese uhlala ngethemba lokuthi uzonyamalala yedwa? Akukho sono esike yasuswa enhliziyweni, ngaphandle kokubambisana kwesandla somuntu, njengakukaJoshua. Ubusuku bonke wayezigobisile ekhala ngokuhlulwa kuka-Israyeli. UNkulunkulu wambuyisela ngezinyawo wathi: “Sukuma! Kungani uguqa kangaka ngobuso bakho emhlabathini? U-Israyeli wonile ... Sukuma, ungcwelise abantu ... "(Joshuwa 7: 10-13).

UNkulunkulu unalo lonke ilungelo lokusisukuma emadolweni wethu athi: “Kungani nihlala lapha ningenzi lutho, nilindele isimangaliso? Angikhalelanga yini ukubalekela konke ukubonakala kobubi? Kufanele wenze okungaphezulu kokumane uthandaze umelene nenkanuko yakho, uyaliwe ukuba ubalekele; awukwazi ukuphumula uze wenze konke okuyalelwe. "

Ngeke sihambe usuku lonke sinikezela izinkanuko zethu kanye nezifiso zethu ezimbi, ukuze sigijimele egumbini lokulala eliyimfihlo futhi sichithe ubusuku ngomthandazo ukuze sibe nesimangaliso sokukhululwa.

Izono eziyimfihlo zisenza ukuba silahlekelwe ngumhlaba lapho sithandaza phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngoba izono ezingashiywanga zisenza ukuba sihlangane nosathane. Elinye lamagama kaNkulunkulu "nguMambuli Wezimfihlo" (Daniyeli 2: 47), Uletha ukukhanyisa izono ezifihlwe ebumnyameni, noma ngabe singazama kangakanani ukuzifihla. Lapho uzama ukufihla izono zakho, uNkulunkulu uzozembula ngokwengeziwe. Ingozi ayikaze iyeke izono ezifihliwe.

"Ubeka amaphutha ethu phambi kwakho nezono zethu zifihlakele ekukhanyeni kobuso bakho." (AmaHubo 90: 8)

UZimu ufuna ukuvikela isithunzi sakhe ngaphezu kwedumela lalabo abona ngasese. UNkulunkulu wakhombisa isono sikaDavide ukuze agcine udumo lwaKhe siqu kumuntu ongamesabi uNkulunkulu; Ngisho nanamuhla, uDavid, owayenomhawu ngegama lakhe elihle nodumo, umi phambi kwamehlo ethu engavundulwanga futhi usasivuma isono sakhe, ngaso sonke isikhathi sifunda ngaye emiBhalweni.

Cha - uNkulunkulu akafuni ukusivumela ukuthi siphuze emanzini antshontshiwe bese sizama ukuphuza emthonjeni wakhe ongcwele; hhayi nje ukuthi isono sethu sizosifinyelela kuphela kepha sizosincisha okuhle kakhulu ngoNkulunkulu, ukusingenisa esikhukhuleni sokuphelelwa ithemba, ukungabaza nokwesaba.

Ungamsoli uNkulunkulu ngokungafuni ukuzwa imithandazo yakho uma ungafuni ukuzwa ukubizwa Kwakhe kokulalela. Uzogcina ukuhlambalaza uNkulunkulu, ummangalela ngokunganaki lapho, ngakolunye uhlangothi, wena ungumbeki icala.

Isizathu sesine: imithandazo yethu ingaba
ephukile ngenkani eyimfihlo, ehlala
enhliziyweni ngokumelene nomuntu.

UKristu ngeke anakekele noma ngubani onomoya othukuthele nonesihe; siyalwe ukuba: "Ngokuqeda bonke ububi, nakho konke ukukhwabanisa, ubuzenzisi, umhawu nabo bonke ukunyundela, njengabantwana abasanda kuzalwa, ufuna ubisi olungokomoya oluhlanzekile, ngoba ngalo ukhula usindiswe" (1Pet 2: 1,2).

UKristu akafuni ukuxhumana nabantu abathukuthele, abaxabanayo nabanesihe. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko ucacile kuleli qiniso: "Ngakho-ke ngifuna ukuthi amadoda athandaze yonke indawo, ephakamisa izandla ezihlanzekile, ngaphandle kwentukuthelo ngaphandle kwezingxabano." (1Thim 2: 8). Ngokungathetheleli izono ezenziwe kithi, senza kube nzima ukuthi uNkulunkulu asithethelele futhi asibusise; Usiyalile ukuba sithandaze sithi: "usithethelele, njengoba nathi sibathethelela abanye".

Ingabe kukhona ukubambela kwenhliziyo yakho enhliziyweni komunye? Ungahlali uthi yinto onelungelo lokuzibandakanya kuyo. UNkulunkulu uzithatha ngokungathí sina lezi zinto; zonke izingxabano nezingxabano phakathi kwabafowethu nodadewethu abangamaKhristu zizakuhlupha inhliziyo Yakhe kakhulu kunazo zonke izono zababi; Shono-ke-ke, ukuthi imithandazo yethu iyanqotshwa - sesibhekene nemizwa yethu ebuhlungu futhi sikhathazwa ukuphathwa kabi abanye.

Kukhona futhi ukungathembani okuyikho okukhula kumibuthano yenkolo. Umhawu, ubukhali, ubukhali nomoya wokuziphindisela, konke egameni likaNkulunkulu .. Akufanele kusimangaze uma uNkulunkulu esivala amasango ezulu, size sifunde ukuthanda nokusithethelela, ngisho nakulabo esinabo kakhulu ukhubekile. Phonsa lo Jona emkhunjini bese isivunguvungu sizolile.

Isizathu sesihlanu: imikhuleko yethu ayifiki
yizwa ngoba asilindi isikhathi eside ngokwanele
ngokuqonda kwabo

Lowo olindela okuncane emthandazweni akanawo amandla anele negunya emthandazweni, lapho singabaza amandla omkhuleko, siyalahlekelwa; usathane uzama ukusiphuca ithemba ngokwenza kwenze kubonakale sengathi umthandazo awusebenzi ngempela.

USathane uhlakaniphe kangakanani lapho ezama ukusikhohlisa ngamanga nokwesaba okungadingekile. Ngenkathi uJacob ethola izindaba ezingamanga zokuthi uGiuseppe ubulewe, wagula ngokuphelelwa yithemba, noma ngabe kungamanga, uGiuseppe wayephilile futhi esaphila, kuyilapho ngasikhathi sinye ubaba wakhe wakhathazeka ngobuhlungu, esekholelwe emangeni. Ngakho-ke, uSathane uzama ukusikhohlisa ngamanga namuhla.

Ukwesaba okungakholeki kuphuca amakholwa injabulo kanye nokuzethemba ngoNkulunkulu. Akalaleli yonke imithandazo, kepha kuphela yilabo abenziwe ngokukholwa. Umkhuleko ukuphela kwesikhali esinaso ngokumelene nobumnyama obukhulu besitha; le nsimbi kufanele isetshenziswe ngokuzethemba okukhulu noma kungenjalo ngeke sibe nakho okunye ukuzivikela emangeni kaSathane. Udumo lukaNkulunkulu lusengozini.

Ukuntula kwethu ukubekezela kuwubufakazi obanele bokuthi asilindele okuningi emthandazweni; sishiya igumbi eliyimfihlo lomkhuleko, silungele ukuhlanganisa imbandezelo yodwa, singanyakaziswa nakancane uma uNkulunkulu ephendula.

Sicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu akasilaleli ngoba asibuboni ubufakazi bokuthi impendulo. Kepha ungaqiniseka ngalokhu: isikhathi eside lapho ukubambezeleka kuphendulwa khona umthandazo, kuzoba okuphelele lapho sefika; uma kuthula isikhathi eside, lokho kuyaphendula.

U-Abrahama wathandazela indodana futhi uNkulunkulu wayiphendula. Kepha kwadlula iminyaka emingakanani ngaphambi kokuba abambe leyo ngane? Yonke imithandazo eyenziwa ngokholo iyalalelwa lapho iphakanyisiwe, kepha uNkulunkulu ukhetha ukuphendula ngendlela Yakhe nangesikhathi Sakhe. Okwamanje, uNkulunkulu ulindele ukuba sijabule esithembisweni esinqunu, sigubha ngethemba njengoba silindele ukugcwaliseka kwaso. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Usonga ukuphika Kwakhe ngengubo emnandi yothando, ukuze singaweli ekuphelelweni yithemba.

Isizathu sesithupha: imikhuleko yethu ayifiki
Lalela lapho sizama ukuzisungula
uNkulunkulu kufanele asiphendule kanjani

Okuwukuphela komuntu esibeka izimo kuye, nguyena kuphela esingakholelwa kuye; labo esibethembayo, sibashiya bekhululekile ukwenza njengoba bebona kufanele. Konke kuguqa kuze kungazethembi.

Umphefumulo onokholo, ngemuva kokukhulula inhliziyo yakhe ngomkhuleko neNkosi, izilahla ekuthembekeni, ubuhle nasekuhlakanipheni kukaNkulunkulu, ikholwa leqiniso lizoshiya uhlobo lokuphendula emseni kaNkulunkulu; noma yini uNkulunkulu akhethe ukuyiphendula, okholwayo uyokujabulela ukukwemukela.

UDavid wathandazela umndeni wakhe ngenkuthalo, wabe esebeka konke esivumelwaneni noNkulunkulu. “Akunjalo yini ngendlu yami phambi kukaNkulunkulu? Selokhu asungula isivumelwano esiphakade nami ... "(2 Samuweli 23: 5).

Labo abaphoqelela uNkulunkulu ukuthi baphendule kanjani futhi nini futhi empeleni banomkhawulo oNgcwele ka-Israyeli. Kuze kube yilapho uNkulunkulu emlethela impendulo yomnyango omkhulu, abazi ukuthi ungene ngomnyango ongemuva. Abantu abanjalo bakholelwa eziphethweni, hhayi izithembiso; kepha uNkulunkulu akafuni ukuboshelwa ezikhathini, izindlela noma izindlela zokuphendula, Uhlala efuna ukukwenza ngokweqile, ngokwedlula lokho esikucelayo noma esicabanga ukuthi siyakucela. Uzophendula ngempilo noma ngomusa ongcono kunempilo; uzothumela uthando noma okuthile ngaphezu kwalo; uzokhipha noma enze into enkulu kakhulu.

Ufuna ukushiya izimfuno zethu zishiywe ezingalweni Zakhe ezinamandla, sibeke ukunaka kwethu konke kuYe, sithuthuke ngokuthula nokuzola silindele usizo lwaKhe. Akuve kudabukisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu omkhulu kangaka unokholo oluncane kuye.

Akukho okunye esingakusho ngaphandle kokuthi: "Angakwenza?" Khipha kithi le nhlamba! Kuyakhuba kangakanani ezindlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu onamandla onke. "Angangithethelela?", "Angangiphilisa? Angangenzela umsebenzi? ” Khipha kithi ukungakholelwa okunje! Esikhundleni salokho siya kuye "ngokuqondene nomdali othembekile". Ngenkathi u-Ana ethandaza ngokholo, "wavuka emadolweni akhe ukuyodla futhi ukukhuluma kwakhe kwakungasadabuki."

Okunye ukukhuthaza okuncane nesixwayiso maqondana nomthandazo: lapho uzizwa udanile noSathane ehlebeza ezindlebeni zakho
ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukukhohliwe, uvale umlomo wakhe ngalokhu: “Isihogo, akuyena uNkulunkulu owakhohlwa, kepha yimi. Ngikhohliwe zonke izibusiso zakho zangesikhathi esedlule, ngaphandle kwalokho bengingangabazi ukuthembeka kwakho. "

Bheka, ukholo lunenkumbulo enhle; amazwi ethu aphusile futhi anganaki angumphumela wokukhohlwa izinzuzo zakhe zangesikhathi esedlule, kanye no-David kufanele sithandaze:

"" Ukuhlupheka kwami ​​kukule, ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke siguqukile. " Ngizokhumbula izimangaliso zeNkosi; yebo, ngizokhumbula izimangaliso zakho zasendulo "(Amahubo 77: 10,11).

Nqaba ukuthi ukububula okuyimfihlo emphefumulweni okuthi: "Impendulo ihamba kancane, angingabazi ukuthi izofika."

Ungaba necala lokuhlubuka ngokomoya ngokungakholelwa ukuthi impendulo kaNkulunkulu izofika ngesikhathi esifanele; ungaqiniseka ukuthi lapho ifika, iyoba ngendlela nesikhathi lapho izokwaziswa ngayo. Uma lokho okucelayo kungakufanelekeli ukulinda, isicelo asikufanele.

Yekani ukukhononda ngokuthola futhi ufunde ukwethemba.

UNkulunkulu akaze akhononde noma abhikishe ngamandla ezitha zaKhe, kodwa ngenxa yokungakhathali kwabantu bakhe; ukungakholelwa kwabantu abaningi, abazibuza ukuthi bayamthanda noma bamshiye, baphuka inhliziyo.

UZimu ufuna sibe nekholo ethandwenakhe; kungumgomo ahlala ewusebenzisa futhi angaphambuki kuwo. Lapho ungavumi ngenkulumo yakho, ukhuze ngezindebe zakho noma ushaye ngesandla sakho, noma ngabe kukho konke lokhu inhliziyo yakho ivutha uthando futhi yonke imicabango yakho ngathi isenokuthula nobuhle.

Konke ukuzenzisa kulele kokungathembani nomoya awukwazi ukuhlala kuNkulunkulu, isifiso asikwazi ukuba iqiniso kuNkulunkulu. Lapho siqala ukungabaza ukuthembeka Kwakhe, siqala ukuziphilisa ngobuhlakani bethu futhi sinake thina . Njengabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abadukisiwe sithi: "... Senzele unkulunkulu ... ngoba lowo Mose ... asazi ukuthi kwenzekeni kuyo." (U-Eksodusi 32: 1).

Awusona isivakashi sikaNkulunkulu uze uzinikele kuye. Uma usuphansi uvunyelwe ukukhononda, kodwa hhayi ukuthi uthule.

Uthando ngoNkulunkulu lungagcinwa kanjani enhliziyweni ebubula? IZwi liyichaza ngokuthi "ukuphikisana noNkulunkulu"; ukuthi kungaba umuntu oyisiwula kanjani ofisa ukuthola iziphambeko kuNkulunkulu, Wayengayala ukuthi abeke isandla emlonyeni noma kungenjalo wayezoqedwa ulaka.

UMoya oNgcwele ongaphakathi kithi uyabubula, ngalolo limi olungaguquki lwezulu elithandaza ngokuhambisana nentando kaNkulunkulu ephelele, kepha izimbungulu zenyama eziphuma ezinhlizweni zamakholwa angenasisekelo zinobuthi. Ababhulayo bakhipha sonke isizwe eZweni Lesithembiso, kanti namuhla baginqisa izixuku izibusiso zeNkosi. Khalaza uma ufuna, kepha uNkulunkulu akafuni ukhexe.

Labo ababuza ngokholo,
qhubekela phambili ngethemba.

"Amagama eNKOSI ngamazwi amsulwa, ayisiliva elicwengekile endaweni ebunjiweyo yomhlaba, ehlanjululwe kasikhombisa." (AmaHubo 12: 6).

UNkulunkulu akamvumeli umqambimanga noma isephula umthetho wesivumelwano ukuba singene phambi Kwakhe, noma abeke unyawo phezu kwentaba yaKhe engcwele. Manje-ke, besingakhumbula kanjani ukuthi uNkulunkulu ongcwele kangaka angahle alahlekelwe yizwi lakhe kithi? UNkulunkulu wazinika igama emhlabeni, igama elithi "ukuthembeka Kwaphakade". Lapho sikukholwa ngokwengeziwe, umphefumulo wethu omncane uzokhathazeka; engxenyeni efanayo yokuthi kukhona ukholo enhliziyweni, kuzoba nokuthula futhi.

"... ngokuzola nokuthembela kuzoba amandla akho ..." (U-Isaya 30: 15).

Izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zifana neqhwa echibini elineqhwa, asitshela ukuthi uzosisekela; okholwayo uphokophela kukho ngesibindi, kuyilapho ongakholwayo ngokwesaba, esaba ukuthi kuzophuka ngaphansi kwakhe futhi kumshiye ejulukile.

Ungalokothi, ungabaze, kungabaza ukuthi kungani manje
anizwa lutho oluvela kuNkulunkulu.

Uma uNkulunkulu eyephuza, kusho ukuthi isicelo sakho sibutha inzalo ebhange lezibusiso zikaNkulunkulu. Babenjalo-ke abangcwele bakaNkulunkulu, ukuthi Wathembeka ezithembisweni Zakhe; bajabula bengakaboni lutho. Baqhubeka ngenjabulo, kwaba sengathi basebetholile. UZimu ufuna sibuyisele kuye ngokudumisa ngaphambi kokuthola izithembiso.

UMoya oNgcwele usisiza ngomkhuleko, mhlawumbe akamukelekile phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi? Ngabe uBaba uzowuphika uMoya? Ngeke! Lokho kububula emphefumulweni wakho akuyona enye ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu uqobo futhi uNkulunkulu ngeke azidele.

isiphetho

Yithina kuphela esinqobayo uma singaphindeli emuva ukuyobuka futhi sithandaze; siba amakhaza, sithambekele futhi sijabule lapho sigwema ikamelo lokulala eliyimfihlo. Ukuvuka okungadabukisi kuzoba khona kulabo abathutha ngobuwula ifihlo leNkosi ngasese, ngoba akayiphenduli imithandazo yabo, ngenkathi bengakashukumisi umunwe. Asizange sisebenze futhi sishisekele, asizihlukanisanga naye, asizishiyanga izono zethu. Sibavumela bakwenze ngokukhanuka kwethu; besithanda ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo, ubuvila, ukukhohlisa, ukungabaza, manje sizibuza ukuthi kungani imithandazo yethu ingaphendulwa.

Lapho uKristu ebuya ngeke athole ukholo emhlabeni, ngaphandle kokuthi sibuyele egumbini lokulala eliyimfihlo, elingelikaKristu nezwi Lakhe.
