Ukuphuma eBhabheli

Uya kulawula, by UTianna (Mallett) Williams

 

Ngale ntsasa xa ndivuka, "ngoku ilizwi" entliziyweni yam yayikukufumana umbhalo osuka kwixesha elidlulileyo malunga "nokuphuma eBhabheli." Ndiyifumene le, yaqala ukupapashwa kanye kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo ngo-Okthobha 4th, 2017! Amagama akule nto yiyo yonke into esentliziyweni yam ngeli lixa, kubandakanya nesibhalo sokuvula esivela kuYeremiya. Ndiyivuselele ngonxibelelwano lwangoku. Ndiyathandaza ukuba oku kuzokwakha, kukuqinise, kwaye kube ngumceli mngeni kuwe njengoko kunjalo nakum ngale ntsasa yangeCawa… Khumbula, uyathandwa.

 

PHA Ngamaxesha apho amazwi kaJeremiya ahlaba umphefumlo wam ngokungathi ngowam. Le veki yenye yala maxesha. 

Nanini na xa ndithethayo, kufuneka ndikhala, nditsho ubundlobongela kunye nomsindo; Ilizwi leNkosi lindigculele nokugculela imini yonke. Ndithi andisayi kumkhankanya, andisayi kuphinda ndithethe egameni lakhe. Kodwa ke kwangathi kuvutha umlilo entliziyweni yam, uvalelwe emathanjeni am; Ndidiniwe ndibambe umva, andinako! (Yeremiya 20: 7-9) 

Ukuba unalo naluphi na uhlobo lwentliziyo, ke nawe uyangcangcazela ekuvukeni kweziganeko ezenzekayo kwihlabathi liphela. Izikhukula ezothusayo eAsia ezibangele ukufa kwabantu abangamawaka… ukutshabalalisa ubuhlanga eMbindi Mpuma… iinkanyamba eAtlantic ... isisongelo semfazwe eseKoreaas ... uhlaselo lwabanqolobi (kunye noqhushululu) eMntla Melika naseYurophu. Ngaba la mazwi abhalwe ekupheleni kweNcwadi yeSityhilelo-incwadi ekubonakala ngathi siphila kuyo ngexesha lokwenyani- ayithathi maxesha ngokungxamisekileyo?

UMoya nomtshakazi bathi, "Yiza." Umphulaphuli makathi, "Yiza." Lowo unxaniweyo makeze ngaphambili, nalowo ukufunayo afumane isipho sobomi samanzi… Yiza, Nkosi Yesu! (ISityhi. 22:17, 20)

Ingathi uSt. John wayekulindele ukulangazelela nokunxanelwa kwakhe inyaniso, ubuhle, nokulunga eya kuthi ekugqibeleni yoyise isizukulwana esizayo esinayo “Bananise inyaniso kaThixo ngobuxoki, bahlonela isidalwa, basinqula, basikhonza isidalwa.” ^[1]I-Rom 1: 25 Nangona kunjalo, njengoko ndicacisile Esona sohlwayo sibuhlungu, Esi sisiqalo nje somsebenzi osele ulindelwe lizulu kudala ukuba obu buntu buya kuvuna ngenxa yokwala uYesu Krestu kunye neVangeli yakhe. Senza oko kuthi! Kuba iVangeli ayiyongcamango ethile ethandekayo, enye ifilosofi phakathi kwabaninzi. Endaweni yoko, yimaphu kaThixo enikezwe nguMdali ukukhokela indalo yakhe kumandla esono nokufa aye enkululekweni. Yinyani! Asiyonyani! Izulu liyinyani! Isihogo siyinyani! iingelosi kwaye iidemon ziyinyani! Kakhulu kangakanani esi sizukulwana sifuna ukubona ubuso bobubi ngaphambi kokuba sizithobe sikhale kuThixo, “Yesu sincede! UYesu usisindise! Siyakudinga ngokwenene! ”? 

Kubuhlungu ukuthi, kude kakhulu. 

 

IBHABHILONI YIQHUBA

Esikubonayo, bazalwana noodade, sisiqalo sokuwa kweBhabheli, into leyo uPapa Benedict ayicacisayo ...

… Uphawu lweedolophu ezinkulu ezingakholwayo… Akukho lonwabo lwaneleyo, kwaye ukugqithisa kokukhohlisa ukunxila kuya kuba bubundlobongela obuqhekeza yonke imimandla-kwaye konke oku egameni lokungaqondi kakuhle kwenkululeko eyijongela phantsi inkululeko yomntu kwaye ekugqibeleni iyitshabalalise. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Kumsitho weZibuliso zeKrisimesi, nge-20 kaDisemba, 2010; http://www.vatican.va/

In Imfihlakalo iBhabheli, Ukuwa kweMfihlakalo yaseBhabheli (kwaye Ukuza okuzayo kweMelika), Ndacacisa imbali enzima yaseMelika kunye nendima yayo embindini wesicwangciso sedemon sokutshabalalisa ubuKristu kunye nolawulo lwelizwe. Ngokusebenzisa “iidemokhrasi ezikhanyiselweyo” kwakuza kusasazeka ukungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo nokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo — "Iimpazamo zaseRussia"-Njengoko uMama wethu waseFatima wababizayo. Iziqhamo ziya kuthi zifane neBhabheli, njengoko kuchaziwe kwiSityhilelo:

Yindawo yokuhlala yeedemon, indawo yokuhlala yoomoya bonke abangcolileyo, indawo yokuhlala zonke iintaka ezingcolileyo, nentiyo; Ngokuba zonke iintlanga zisele iwayini yobunqambi bayo, Ookumkani bomhlaba bahenyuza nayo, Nabarhwebi bomhlaba baba zizityebi ngokobutyebi bayo. (ISityhi. 18: 2-3)

Kukangaphi xa oozwilakhe behliswa okanye abangaphakathi besabelana ngamabali abo, sifumanisa ukuba, kude nokuzonda inkcubeko yaseNtshona njengoko besitsho, ezi nkokeli zikhohlakeleyo ziye zahenyuza nayo! Bane ingenise ukuthanda kwakhe izinto eziphathekayo, iphonografi, ukubawa, nokubawa.

Kodwa kuthekani ngathi? Uthini ngawe nam? Ngaba silandela uKumkani wookumkani, okanye nathi, nathi, sisela iwayini yenkanuko engcolileyo ekhukula kuzo zonke izitrato nakumakhaya ngokusebenzisa intanethi — i “Umfanekiselo werhamncwa”?

“Imiqondiso yamaxesha” ifuna ukuvavanywa ngokunyanisekileyo kwesazela kuthi sonke, ukususela kubhishophu ukuya kumntu nje. La ngamaxesha abalulekileyo afuna impendulo enzulu-hayi xhalaba kwaye impendulo eyoyikisayo-kodwa inyanisekileyo, ithobekile kwaye ithembekile. Kuba utsho uThixo kuthi kuthi, sihlala emthunzini weBhabheli ngeli lixa lokugqibela, ukuthi,

Sukani kuyo, bantu bam, ukuze ningathathi nxaxheba ezonweni zayo kwaye ningamkeliswa kwizibetho zayo, kuba izono zayo zifunjelwe ezulwini, kwaye uThixo uyalikhumbula ityala layo. (ISityhi. 18: 4-5)

UThixo uyabukhumbula ubugebenga bakhe ngesizathu sokuba iBhabheli ibe njalo hayi eguquka kubo. 

INkosi inenceba nobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, unenceba enkulu… Kunjengokuba kude kwempumalanga entshonalanga, Ukulukhwelelisa kwakhe kuthi ukreqo lwethu; (INdumiso 103: 8-12)

Izono zethu ziyasuswa xa siguquka, yiyo i! Ngaphandle koko, ubulungisa bufuna ukuba uThixo abaphendulise abangendawo kukhala kwabasweleyo. Kwaye isikhalo siye sangxola! 

 

UKUJIKELA NGAPHAKATHI

UYesu wathi, 

Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko isibhalo sithi: 'Imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo iya kumpompoza iphuma embilinini wakhe.' (UYohane 7:38)

Abanye babhalile, bemangalisiwe, bedanduluka, “Iyakuphela nini le ntshabalalo? Sizokufumana nini ukuphumla? ” Impendulo kukuba iyakuphela nini abantu basela banele kukungathobeli:^[2]cf. Ukugcwala kwesono: Ububi mabuzikhuphe

Yithabathe le ndebe esandleni sewayini; uya kusela zonke iintlanga endikuthumela kuzo. Zisele, zidane, ziphambane, ngenxa yekrele endilithumela phakathi kwazo. (Yeremiya 25: 15-16)

Ukanti, akunguye uBawo ukubapha abantu iNdebe yeNceba mihla le kwiibingelelo zamabandla ethu? Pha, UYesu uzenza abekhona kuthi, uMzimba, uMphefumlo, kunye nobuThixo njengophawu lothando lwaKhe, inceba, kunye nomnqweno wokuxolelanisa ubuntu, nangoku. Nangoku! Apho, kumawakawaka eecawe ezingenanto eNtshona, emva kwekhuselo leTabernakele, uYesu uyakhala, “Ndinxaniwe!” ^[3]John 19: 28

Ndinxaniwe. Ndinxanelwe usindiso lwemiphefumlo. Ndincede, ntombi yam, ukusindisa imiphefumlo. Joyina iintlungu zakho kuMnqweno wam kwaye uzinikele kuBawo osezulwini kuboni. —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kumphefumlo wam, Idayari; n. 1032

Ngaba uyasibona isizathu sokuba ndikubhalele namhlanje, emva kweeveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo apho bendigxile khona Cross? UYesu ufuna ukubandezeleka kwakho kunye nokuzincama kunanini na ngaphambili ngenxa yoluntu oluhlwempuzekileyo. Kodwa singamnika njani uYesu nantoni na ngaphandle kokuba simanyene naye? Ngaphandle kokuba thina 'Uphuma eBhabhiloni'? 

Lowo uhleli kum, ndibe mna ndihleli kuye, yena uthwala isiqhamo esininzi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. (UYohane 15: 5)

Kodwa bahlala phi abaninzi bethu? Ngowuphi umdiliya esimiliselwe kuwo-nguYesu, okanye ii-smartphones zethu? Okanye njengokuba omnye oNgcwele eyibeka, "Wenza ntoni, Mkristu, ngexesha lakho?" Ukufikelela okuninzi okunyanzelekileyo kwitekhnoloji ngokunqumama kancinci ngemini; batyibilika kuFacebook naku-Instagram bekhangela umntu oza kugcwalisa ukuthula; bajonga umabonwakude ngethemba lokuba into iya kunciphisa isithukuthezi sabo; Bangena kwiwebhu ngenxa yovuselelo, isini, okanye izinto, bezama ukunyanga i-ache in imiphefumlo yabo yoxolo…. Kodwa akukho nanye kwezi enokubonelela ngoMlambo waManzi aPhilayo awathetha ngawo uYesu… kuba Yena luxolo “Eli hlabathi alinako ukunika.” ^[4]cf. Yohane 14:27  Kuphela kuxa sisiza kuYe "njengabantwana abancinci" ngokuthobela, emthandazweni, kwiiSakramente, apho singaqala nokuba iinqanawa zaManzi aPhilayo Okwehlabathi. Kufuneka sisele kwiQula ngaphambi kokuba sazi ukuba sinikela ngantoni.

 

IZILUMKISO ZENCEBA

Ewe, oku kubhalwa sisilumkiso! Ngoku sibona iziganeko ziqokelelana, omnye komnye ngokungathi uloliwe owaphukileyo… njengokuba uYesu watshoyo, ngokomboni omnye waseMelika:

Nokuba kufuneka ndithintele amehlo am kubo bonke "ubundlobongela kunye nomsindo" endiwubonayo kwiposti yam encinci eludongeni, okanye iyakucutha uxolo lwam! U-Yesu usixelele ukuba sijonge imiqondiso yamaxesha, ewe, kodwa wathi:

Watch thandaza ukuze ungavavanywa. Umoya uyavuma kodwa inyama ibuthathaka. (UMarko 14:38)

Kufuneka sithandaze! Kufuneka siyeke ukujonga ngaphandle kakhulu kunogumbe wenyhukunyiso nentshabalalo athi uSatana aphume ngayo emhlabeni, kwaye sijonge ngaphakathi apho kuhlala khona uBathathu Emnye oyiNgcwele. Cinga ngoYesu, hayi ngobubi. Kuya kufuneka siye apho uxolo, ubabalo, kunye nokuphilisa silindele khona, nanjengoko intshabalalo igcwele. Kwaye uYesu ufumaneka kuMthendeleko nakwiintliziyo zamakholwa. 

Zihlolisiseni ukuba nibone ukuba nihleli ngokholo na. Zivavanyeni nina. Aniqondi na ukuba uYesu Krestu ukho kuni? -Ngaphandle kokuba, ewe, uyasilela kuvavanyo. (2 Kor. 13: 5)

Ngenxa yokuba uyiNkosi yakho yokusabela, kwaye wenze Oyena Uphakamileyo waba ligwiba lakho, akukho bubi buya kukuhlela, akukho mbandezelo isondela ententeni yakho. (bona iNdumiso 91)

Apho, kwindawo yokusabela yobukho bukaThixo, ufuna ukukuhlamba ekuphilisweni, emandleni nasekomeleleni ngala maxesha.

Ukwazi ukulinda, ngelixa unyamezele umonde kuvavanyo, kubalulekile ukuba ikholwa likwazi "ukufumana oko kuthenjisiweyo" (Heb 10:36) —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, uyincwadi entsonkothileyo Thetha uSalvi (ugcinwe ethembeni), n. I-8

Silinda njani? Thandaza, thandaza, thandaza. Ukuthandaza kukulinda ngokomoya; ukulinda ngokomoya lukholo; kwaye ukholo lushukumisa iintaba.

Lihambile ixesha, kwaye lixesha lokuphuma eBhabheli ngoku, kuba iindonga zayo ziqala ukuwa.  

Imbali, enyanisweni, ayindedwa ezandleni zamandla amnyama, amathuba okanye ukhetho lomntu. Ngaphezulu kokukhululwa kwamandla amabi, ukuphazamiseka ngamandla kukaSathana, kunye nokuvela kwesibetho kunye nobubi obuninzi, iNkosi iyaphakama, umgwebi ophakamileyo weziganeko zembali. Ukhokelela kwimbali ngobulumko ekuzeni kokusa kwamazulu amatsha nomhlaba omtsha, eculwa kwinxalenye yokugqibela yeNcwadi phantsi komfanekiso weYerusalem entsha. (jonga IsiTyhilelo 21-22). —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Abaphulaphuli, NgoMeyi 11, 2005
