Cabanga namuhla ngendima kaMoya oNgcwele empilweni yakho namuhla
Uyise uZakariya, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha wathi:
“Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; ngoba weza kubantu bakhe wabakhulula… ”Luka 1: 67-68
Indaba yethu yokuzalwa kukaSt. John the Baptist iphetha namuhla ngehubo lokudumisa elishiwo nguZakariya ngemuva kokuncibilika kolimi lwakhe ngenxa yokuguquka kwakhe abe yinkolo. Wayesehambile ekungabazeni lokho iNgelosi enkulu uGabriyeli eyayimtshele ukuthi akukholwe futhi alandele umyalo weNgilosi enkulu ukuthi abize indodana yakhe eyizibulo ngokuthi "John". Njengoba sibonile embonweni wayizolo, uZakariya uyisibonelo futhi uyisibonelo kulabo abantula ukholo, abahlushwa imiphumela yokuntula kwabo ukholo futhi ngenxa yalokho bashintshe.
Namuhla sibona umfanekiso ophelele ngokwengeziwe walokho okwenzekayo lapho siguquka. Akunandaba ukuthi sakungabaza kangakanani esikhathini esedlule, noma ngabe siphambuke kangakanani kuNkulunkulu, lapho sibuyela kuYe ngezinhliziyo zethu zonke, singathemba ukuthi sizokuzwa into efanayo nekaZakariya. Okokuqala, siyabona ukuthi uZakariya "ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele". Futhi ngenxa yalesi sipho sikaMoya oNgcwele, uZakariya "waphrofetha". Lezi zambulo ezimbili zibaluleke kakhulu.
Njengoba silungiselela ukugujwa kosuku lokuzalwa kukaKristu kusasa, uSuku lukaKhisimusi, nathi sibizelwe ukuba "sigcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele" ukuze sikwazi nokusebenza njengezithunywa ezingokwesiprofetho ezivela eNkosini. Yize uKhisimusi emayelana noMuntu Wesibili kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele, uKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu, uMoya oNgcwele (Umuntu Wesithathu kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele) udlala indima ebaluleke ngokulinganayo emcimbini okhazimulayo, ngaleso sikhathi nanamuhla. Khumbula ukuthi kwaba ngoMoya oNgcwele, owamboza uMama uMariya, lapho wakhulelwa khona uKristu Christ Child. KwiVangeli lanamuhla, kwakunguMoya oNgcwele owavumela uZakariya ukuthi amemezele ubukhulu besenzo sikaNkulunkulu sokuthumela uJohane uMbhapathizi ngaphambi kukaJesu ukumlungiselela indlela. Namuhla, kufanele kube nguMoya oNgcwele ogcwalisa impilo yethu ukusivumela ukuthi simemezele iQiniso likaKhisimusi.
Osukwini lwethu, uKhisimusi usungasathembeki ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba. Bambalwa abantu abazinika isikhathi ngoKhisimusi ukuthi bathandaze futhi bakhonze uNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso ngakho konke akwenzile. Bambalwa abantu abaqhubeka bememezela lowo mlayezo okhazimulayo wokuzalwa komzimba emndenini nakubangane phakathi nalomkhosi onesizotha. Nawe? Ngabe uzokwazi ukuba "ngumprofethi" weqiniso kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke kulo Khisimusi? Ngabe uMoya oNgcwele ukusibekele futhi wakugcwalisa ngomusa odingekayo wokukhomba abanye ngalesi sizathu esikhazimulayo sokugubha kwethu?
Cabanga namuhla ngendima kaMoya oNgcwele empilweni yakho namuhla. Mema uMoya oNgcwele ukuthi akugcwalise, akugqugquzele, futhi akuqinise, futhi akunikeze ukuhlakanipha okudingayo ukuze ube ngumkhulumeli wesipho esikhazimulayo sokuzalwa koMsindisi womhlaba kulo Khisimusi. Asikho esinye isipho ebesingabaluleka ukudlula ukusinika abanye ukwedlula lo mlayezo weqiniso nothando.
UMoya oNgcwele, ngikunikeza impilo yami futhi ngiyakumema ukuba uze kimi, ungenze mnyama futhi ungigcwalise ngobukhona bakho obungcwele. Njengoba ungigcwalisa, nginike ukuhlakanipha engikudingayo ukuze ngikhulume ngobukhulu bakho futhi ngibe ithuluzi abanye abadonselwa ngalo emkhosini wokugubha ukuzalwa koMsindisi womhlaba. Woza, Moya oNgcwele, ngigcwalise, ungidle ungisebenzisele inkazimulo yaKho. Jesu ngiyakholelwa kuwe.
