Umlinganiswa wam "Mzalwana uTarsus" waseArcātheos
LWE Iveki, ndiphinda ndadibana namaqabane am kwindawo yaseLumenorus e IArcātheos njengo "Mzalwana waseTarso". Yinkampu yamakhwenkwe amaKatolika emi emazantsi eeNtaba zeRocky zaseCanada kwaye ayifani nayiphi na inkampu yamakhwenkwe endakha ndayibona.
Phakathi kweMisa kunye neemfundiso eziqinileyo, amakhwenkwe athatha (amagwebu) amakrele kwaye alwa notshaba (ootata besinxibo), okanye bafunde izakhono ezahlukeneyo ukusuka ekutolikeni ngeentolo ukuya ekubopheleleni amaqhina. Ukuba awukayiboni okwangoku, apha ngezantsi kukho itreyila yomdlalo weqonga endayivelisa enkampini kwiminyaka embalwa emva.
Umlinganiswa wam nguArch-Lord Legarius othi, xa engamkhuseli uKumkani, ashiye umhlala-wedwa ezintabeni ngomthandazo njengo "Mzalwana uTarso." Kum, le ndima ibambeleyo lithuba lokungena kumlingisi ongcwele, kwaye iintsuku ezintandathu, uhlala ngokunyanisekileyo phakathi kwamakhwenkwe. Ndiphuma kusapho olwenzileyo, ndikhule ndisebenza, kwaye kum, le yenye indlela kunye nendlela yokuhambisa ivangeli. Rhoqo, iNkosi ibeka nje igama entliziyweni yam, kwaye embindini wesigcawu, ndiza kwabelana ngento yeVangeli.
Emva kwesihlandlo sokuqala ndisebenza enkampini kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ndangena emotweni yam ndahamba umgama omde ndisiya ekhaya kwaye ndazibona ndilila. "Yayingubani lowo?”Ndacinga ngaphakathi. “Nantso ingcwele endifuna ukuba yiyo yonke imihla.”Kodwa ukubuyela kwam ekhaya kwimali endiyibhatelweyo, oomatshini bokufama abonakeleyo, ukuba ngumzali, kunye neemfuno zenkonzo yam, ndakhawuleza ndafumanisa ukuba ndingubani kanye kanye. Kwaye kwakuthobisa. Ndikulangazelele ngokulula kwendima yam yokubamba, kude nehlabathi kwi-intanethi, izixhobo, amakhadi etyala, i-imeyile, isantya esikhawulezayo… kodwa… yenene ubomi-inkampu yayingekho.
Inyani yile yokuba apho ndikhoyo ebomini njengotata otshatileyo wabasibhozo ndinomzukulwana omnye, ubhala umthetho wamazwe aphesheya, ubufundisi bezomculo, kunye nefama encinci yokulawula—nantsi indlela yam eya ebungcwaliseni, kwaye ayikho enye. Singaphupha ngendima zokwenza-kwaye oko kubandakanya ukuya kwimishini kumazwe aphesheya, ukuqala ubulungiseleli ekhaya, ukuphumelela iLotto ukuze sikwazi ukunceda abantu abasweleyo, ukufumana oku okanye oko kuphumla…. Kodwa enyanisweni, ngoku, kanye apho sikhona, iqulethe indlela efihliweyo kunye nobuncwane bobabalo ukuze ube ngcwele. Kwaye okuba kubi ngakumbi, okona kuya kuba yindlela efanelekileyo; Okukhona umnqamlezo, kokukhona uvuko lukhulu.
Kuyimfuneko kuthi ukuba sidlule kubunzima obuninzi ukuze singene eBukumkanini bukaThixo. (IZenzo 14:22)
Indlela eyiyo eya ebungcweleni sisikhululo sobomi okuso ngoku. Abanye benu, abanokuba belele ebhedini, okanye babesecaleni kwebhedi yomntu ofuna inkathalo yenu rhoqo. Ibuyela emsebenzini wakho kunye naloo mntu usebenzisana naye onzima, umphathi ocaphuka msinya, okanye imeko engenabulungisa. Kukuhamba ngezifundo zakho, okanye ukupheka esinye isidlo, okanye ukuhlamba impahla. Kukuhlala uthembekile kwiqabane lakho, ujongene nabantwana abanemvukelo, okanye uye kwiMisa ngokuthembeka kwiparadesi yakho "efileyo". Rhoqo, sizifumana sithandazela ukuba imeko itshintshe, kwaye xa ingenjalo, siyazibuza ukuba kutheni uThixo engaphulaphuli. Kodwa impendulo yaKhe ihlala ibonakalisiwe kuxanduva lomzuzu. Yintando yakhe ke leyo, indlela eya ebungcweleni.
UYesu wakha wathi,
Unyana akakwazi ukwenza nantoni na eyedwa, kodwa wenza oko abona kuyise esenza; kuba into ayenzayo, unyana wakhe uya kuyenza naye. Kuba uYise uyamthanda uNyana wakhe, ambonise yonke into ayenzayo yena ngokwakhe. (UYohane 5: 19-20)
Kungekudala, ndiyekile ukucela iNkosi ukuba isikelele into endivakalelwa kukuba iyona ndlela ehamba phambili, kwaye endaweni yoko, ngoku ndicela uBawo ukuba andibonise oko He uyenza.
Ndibonise le uyenzayo, Bawo, ukuze ndenze ukuthanda kwakho kuphela, hayi okwam.
Oku kunzima ngamanye amaxesha, kuba kuhlala kubandakanya ukuzincama okanye ukubandezeleka…
Nawuphi na umntu ongawuthwaliyo umnqamlezo wakhe andilandele, akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (ULuka 14:27)
… Kodwa ikwayindlela eya eluvuyweni lwenene noxolo kuba ukuthanda kwakhe kukwayindawo yobukho baKhe.
Uya kundazisa umendo wobomi; Uvuyo lwakho luphuphuma ebusweni bakho. (INdumiso 16:11)
Ukufunda ukuphumla ngokuthanda kwakhe, nokuba kunzima kangakanani, sisitshixo soxolo. Igama ngu ukulahlwa. Kule veki, ukuthanda kukaThixo kukuba ndiphinde ndibenguMzalwana uTarsus kwakhona ukuze abafana abancinci, kubandakanya noonyana bam ababini abakunye nam, babe namava obomi bobomi bodwa, kodwa beVangeli. Kodwa xa konke kugqityiwe, ndiza kubuyela kwiNdawo yokuThengisa eyiNene kunye nendlela ethile eya ebungcweleni: ukuba ngutata, umyeni, kunye nomntakwabo nonke.
Ngamana kungenzeka kum ngokwelizwi lakho. (ULuka 1:28)
