Kungani kufanele sithandazele "isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla"?
"Siphe namuhla isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla" (Mathewu 6:11).
Umthandazo mhlawumbe yisikhali esinamandla kunazo zonke uNkulunkulu asinikeze ukuba sisisebenzise kulo mhlaba. Uyayizwa imithandazo yethu futhi uyakwazi ukuyiphendula ngendlela eyisimangaliso, ngokwentando Yakhe. Iyasiduduza futhi ihlale isondele kwabaphukile enhliziyweni. UNkulunkulu unathi ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu zempilo yethu nasezikhathini ezinzima zansuku zonke. Uyasikhathalela. Kuyandulela thina.

"Isinkwa sansuku zonke" asinikezwa kuphela ngokudla nangezinye izindlela zomzimba. Usitshela ukuthi singakhathazeki ngezinsuku ezizayo, ngoba "zonke izinsuku sezivele zithwala izinkathazo ezanele". UNkulunkulu ugcwalisa ngokwethembeka isizalo somphefumulo wethu nsuku zonke.
Uyini Umthandazo WeNkosi?
Ibinzana elidumile elithi, "siphe isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla," liyingxenye yoMthandazo Wethu Wobaba, noma Umthandazo WeNkosi, owafundiswa uJesu ngesikhathi seNtshumayelo Yakhe yaseNtabeni edumile. URC Sproul ubhala ukuthi "isicelo soMkhuleko weNkosi sisifundisa ukuthi size kuNkulunkulu sinomoya wokuzithoba, simcele ukuthi asinikeze esikudingayo futhi asisekele usuku nosuku". UJesu wayebhekene nokuziphatha nezilingo ezahlukahlukene abafundi bakhe ababhekana nazo futhi wabanika imodeli okufanele bathandaze ngayo. "Eyaziwa ngokuthi 'Umthandazo WeNkosi', empeleni 'Umthandazo Wabafundi', ngoba wawenzelwe ukuba ube yisibonelo kubo," kuchaza i-NIV Study Bible.
Isinkwa sasibalulekile emasikweni amaJuda. Abafundi uJesu akhuluma nabo eNtshumayelweni Yasentabeni bakhumbula indaba kaMose ehola okhokho babo ehlane nokuthi uNkulunkulu wabanikeza imana ukuba badle usuku ngalunye. I-NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible iyachaza: “Ukuthandazela ukudla kwakungomunye wemithandazo eyayivame kakhulu endulo. "UNkulunkulu ungathenjwa, onikeze abantu bakhe isinkwa semihla ngemihla iminyaka engama-40 ehlane, ukuze baziphilise". Ukholo lwabo lwaqiniswa ezimeni zanamuhla ngokukhumbula ilungiselelo likaNkulunkulu langaphambilini.Ngisho nakwisiko lesimanje, sisabhekisa kumuntu ohola imali njengomondli.
Siyini "isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla"?
“UJehova wayesethi kuMose: 'Ngiyakuninisela isinkwa esivela ezulwini; Abantu kufanele baphume nsuku zonke baqoqe abanele lolo suku. Ngale ndlela ngizobahlola ngibone ukuthi bayayilandela yini imiyalo yami ”(Eksodusi 16: 4).
Ngokwencazelo yeBhayibheli, ukuhunyushwa kwesiGreki kwesinkwa ngokwezwi nezwi kusho isinkwa noma yikuphi ukudla. Kodwa-ke, umsuka waleli gama lasendulo lisho “ukuphakamisa, ukukhuphula, ukukhuphula; zithathele futhi uthwale okuvusiwe, uthathe lokho okuvusiwe, ususe “. UJesu wayethula lo mlayezo kubantu, owawuzoxhumanisa isinkwa nokulamba kwabo okungokoqobo okwamanje, kanye nokunikezwa kwangaphambilini kokhokho babo ngaphesheya kwehlane ngemana ababelinikwa uNkulunkulu nsuku zonke.
UJesu futhi wayeveza imithwalo yemihla ngemihla ayezobathwalisa yona njengoMsindisi wethu. Ngokufa esiphambanweni, uJesu wathwala yonke imithwalo yansuku zonke esake sayithwala. Zonke izono ebezizoklinya futhi zisiqinise, bonke ubuhlungu nokuhlupheka emhlabeni - Waziletha.
Siyazi ukuthi sinakho esikudingayo ukuhamba nsuku zonke njengoba sihamba ngamandla akhe nangomusa wakhe. Hhayi ngalokho esikwenzayo, esinakho noma esingakufeza, kepha ngokunqoba ukufa uJesu asesizuzele kona esiphambanweni! UKristu wayevame ukukhuluma ngendlela abantu abangayiqonda futhi baqonde ngayo. Isikhathi esiningi esisichitha emiBhalweni, uthembeke ngokwengeziwe ekuvezeni ungqimba ngothando lwezingqimba zothando oluhlangene kuwo wonke amagama enhloso awakhulumile nasesimangalisweni asenza. IZwi likaNkulunkulu eliphilayo lakhuluma nesixuku ngendlela esisakhothoza ngayo kusukela namuhla.
“Futhi uNkulunkulu angakubusisa kakhulu, ukuze ezintweni zonke ngezikhathi zonke, ube nakho konke okudingayo, uvame kuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle” (2 KwabaseKorinte 9: 8).
Ukuthembela kwethu kuKristu akuqali futhi kugcine ngesidingo senyama sokudla. Noma indlala nokungabi namakhaya kuqhubeka nokucekela phansi umhlaba wethu, abantu abaningi banamuhla abahlushwa ukuswela ukudla noma indawo yokuhlala. Ukuthembela kwethu kuKristu kukhuthazwa yisidingo sethu sokuthi Yena ahlangabezane nazo zonke izidingo zethu. Ukukhathazeka, ukwesaba, ukubhekana ngeziqu zamehlo, umona, ukugula, ukulahlekelwa, ikusasa elingalindelekile - kuze kufike lapho singakwazi ngisho nokugcwalisa ikhalenda leviki - konke kuncike ekusimeni kwakho.
Lapho sithandazela ukuthi uNkulunkulu asinike isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla, simcela ngokoqobo ukuthi ahlangabeze zonke izidingo zethu. Izidingo zomzimba, yebo, kepha futhi nokuhlakanipha, amandla, induduzo kanye nokukhuthazwa. Kwesinye isikhathi uNkulunkulu uyasanelisa isidingo sethu sokulahlwa ngokuziphatha okulimazayo, noma asikhumbuze ukuthi sandise umusa nentethelelo ngokwesaba umunyu ezinhliziyweni zethu.
“UNkulunkulu uzohlangabezana nezidingo zethu namhlanje. Umusa wakhe uyatholakala namuhla. Akudingeki sikhathazeke ngekusasa, noma ngisho nangakusasa, ngoba usuku nosuku lunezinkinga zalo, ”kubhala uVaneetha Rendall Risner wencwadi ethi Desiring God. Ngenkathi abanye bengenakuba nobunzima ekuhlangabezaneni nezidingo zomzimba zokudla kwansuku zonke, abanye bahlushwa inqwaba yezinye izifo.
Izwe lisinikeza izizathu eziningi zansuku zonke zokukhathazeka. Kepha noma umhlaba ubonakala ubuswa yizinxushunxushu nokwesaba, uNkulunkulu uyabusa. Akukho okwenzekayo ngaphandle kwamehlo ayo noma ubukhosi.
Kungani kufanele size size sicele uNkulunkulu ngokuthobeka ukuthi asinike isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla?
“Mina ngiyisinkwa sokuphila. Noma ngubani oza kimi ngeke alambe. Okholwa yimi kasoze oma futhi ”(Johane 6:35).
UJesu wathembisa ukuthi akasoze asishiya. Ngamanzi aphilayo nesinkwa sokuphila. Ukuthobeka ngokuthandazela uNkulunkulu ukuthi asinikeze nsuku zonke kusikhumbuza ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu nokuthi singobani njengabantwana Bakhe. Ukwamukela umusa kaKristu nsuku zonke kusikhumbuza ukuthi sincike kuye ngezidingo zethu zansuku zonke. Kungenxa kaKristu lapho sisondela kuNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko. UJohn Piper uyachaza: "UJesu weza emhlabeni ukuzoshintsha izifiso zakho zibe yisifiso sakho esiyinhloko." Icebo likaNkulunkulu lokusenza sithembele kuye nsuku zonke likhuthaza umoya wokuthobeka.
Ukulandela uKristu kuyisinqumo sansuku zonke sokuthatha isiphambano sethu futhi sincike kuYe kulokho esikudingayo. UPaul wabhala: "Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha kuzo zonke izimo, ngomkhuleko nangokunxusa, ninokubonga, hlalani nezicelo zenu kuNkulunkulu" (KwabaseFilipi 4: 6). Kungaye ukuthi sithola amandla angaphezu kwavamile nokuhlakanipha ukukhuthazelela izinsuku ezinzima, nokuzithoba nokweneliseka ukwamukela izinsuku zokuphumula. Kukho konke, sifuna ukuletha udumo kuNkulunkulu njengoba siphila impilo yethu ngothando lukaKristu.
UBaba wethu uyakwazi esikudingayo ukuze sihambe kamnandi usuku ngalunye. Akunandaba noma ngabe isikhathi sikuphi osukwini lwethu, inkululeko esinayo kuKristu ayisoze yanyakaziswa noma yathathwa. UPetru wabhala: "Amandla akhe obuNkulunkulu usinikeze konke esikudingayo empilweni yaphezulu ngolwazi lwethu ngalowo owasibizela inkazimulo nobuhle bakhe" (2 Peter 1: 3). Usuku nosuku, usinika umusa phezu komusa. Sidinga isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla.
