Cabanga, namuhla, obizweni lwakho lokukhula emandleni nasesibindi sokunqoba okubi
"Kusukela ezinsukwini zikaJohane uMbhaphathizi kuze kube manje, umbuso wezulu ubudlwangudlwangudlwangu, futhi abanodlame bawuthatha ngamandla". UMathewu 11:12
Ingabe uphakathi kwalabo "abanodlame" futhi abathatha umbuso wezulu "ngenkani?" Ngethemba ukuthi ukhona!
Ngezikhathi ezithile amazwi kaJesu kunzima ukuwaqonda. Le ndima engenhla isiveza ngesinye sezimo. Kulesi siqephu, uSt. Josemaria Escrivá uqinisekisa ukuthi "abanodlame" bangamaKrestu "anamandla" kanye "nokuzimisela" lapho imvelo abazithola bekuyo inenkani enkolweni (bheka u-Christ is Passing By, 82). USaint Clement wase-Alexandria uthi uMbuso Wezulu ungowalabo "abalwa nabo" (Quis dives salvetur, 21). Ngamanye amagama, "abanodlame" abathatha uMbuso weZulu yilabo abalwa kanzima nezitha zomphefumulo wabo ukuthola uMbuso weZulu.
Ziyini izitha zomphefumulo? Ngokwesiko sikhuluma ngomhlaba, inyama nosathane. Lezi zitha ezintathu zidale udlame olukhulu emiphefumulweni yamaKrestu alwela ukuhlala eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu.Ngakho-ke siwulwela kanjani uMbuso? Ngamandla! Ezinye izinguqulo zithi "abahlukumezi" bathatha uMbuso ngenkani. Lokhu kusho ukuthi impilo yobuKristu ayikwazi ukwenziwa nje. Asikwazi ukumamatheka nje lapho siya ezulwini. Izitha zomphefumulo wethu zingokoqobo futhi zinolaka. Ngakho-ke, kufanele futhi sibe nolaka ngomqondo wokuthi kufanele sibhekane ngqo nalezi zitha ngamandla nangesibindi sikaKristu.
Sikwenza kanjani lokhu? Sibhekene nesitha senyama ngokuzila nokuzincisha. Sibhekene nomhlaba ngokuhlala sizinzile eqinisweni likaKrestu, iqiniso levangeli, ngokwenqaba ukuhambisana "nokuhlakanipha" kwesikhathi. Futhi sibhekene nosathane ngokwazi ngamasu akhe amabi okusikhohlisa, ukusidida, nokusidukisa kukho konke ukuze simthethise futhi senqabe izenzo zakhe empilweni yethu.
Cabanga, namuhla, ocingweni lwakho lokuthi ukhule ngamandla nesibindi ukuze ulwe nalezo zitha ezihlasela ngaphakathi. Ukwesaba akusizi ngalutho kule mpi. Ukuthembela emandleni nasesiheni seNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ukuphela kwesikhali esisidingayo. Thembela Kuye futhi ungavumeli izindlela eziningi lezi zitha zizama ukukuphuca ukuthula kukaKristu.
Nkosi yami ekhazimulayo nenqobayo, ngiyethemba kuwe ukuthi uzothulula umusa wakho ukuze ngikwazi ukumelana ngokuqinile nomhlaba, izilingo zenyama yami kanye nosathane uqobo. Nginike isibindi, isibindi namandla ukuze ngikwazi ukulwa impi enhle yokholo futhi nginganqikazi ukukufuna Wena nentando yakho engcwelengcwele ngempilo yami. Jesu ngiyakholelwa kuwe.
