O, ukuba secaleni kwebhedi kaKumkani uDavide, ukuva ukuba uza kuthini xa esifa. Le yayiyindoda eyayihlala kwaye iphefumlela umnqweno wokuhamba noThixo wayo. Ukanti, ukhubekile wawa rhoqo. Kodwa wayeza kuzichola kwakhona, kwaye phantse angoyiki ukuveza isono sakhe eNkosini ebongoza inceba yakhe. Bubuphi ubulumko awayenokufunda apha endleleni. Ngethamsanqa, ngenxa yezibhalo, sinokubakho ecaleni kukaDavide ebhedini njengoko esiya kunyana wakhe uSolomon esithi:

Yomelela ube yindoda! (1Kg 2: 2; iNABre)

Phakathi kokufundwa kweMass ezintathu namhlanje, thina madoda singafumana iindlela ezintlanu zokuphila umngeni kaDavid.

 

I. PHILA KANJE NAMHLANJE KUSUKUGQIBELA KWAKHO

Amazwi kaDavide okuqala kuSolomon ayezele bubulumko:

Ndihamba indlela yehlabathi lonke.

Wonke umntu uyafa. UDavide wayesoloko eyiqonda loo nto, kungoko engazange alibazise—nangona ezono zakhe ngamanye amaxesha—ukuzenza ilungisa phambi koThixo.

Unyana wam oneminyaka elithoba ubudala uye wandibuza phezolo, “Tata, yayingubani laa ngcwele yayigcine ukakayi edesikeni yayo, yaye kwakutheni ukuze enze loo nto?” Ndaphendula ndathi, “YayiyiSt. Thomas More. Wagcina ukakayi apho ukuze amkhumbuze ngokufa kwakhe. Ngale ndlela, kwamnceda ukuba aphile ngokungathi suku ngalunye yayilusuku lwakhe lokugqibela, aze aphile kamnandi.”

Unyana wam wanqumama, waza wathi encumile, “Tata, ndingalufumana ukakayi lwakho xa usifa?”

Amadoda okwenene akhululekile kuba ahlala kwi umzuzu wangoku. ^[1]cf. ISakramente saNgoku

 

II. NGENENE PHILA

UWilliam Wallace kwimuvi iBraveheart uthe, "Wonke umntu uyafa, ayinguye wonke umntu ophilayo ngokwenene." Okubuhlungu kukuba, ambalwa amadoda kwinkcubeko yethu akwaziyo oko kuthethwa ‘kukuphila ngokwenene. Kodwa uDavide wenjenjalo. Wayazi ngamava emva kokubhukuqa iingxilimbela, ukulwa iimfazwe, ukuphanga igolide nokukrexeza—i-ESPN ibalaselisa uhlobo oluthile lwezinto—ukuba zonke ezo zinto zazibonisa ubudoda bakhe. Kunoko, wathi kunyana wakhe:

Gcina isigxina sikaYehova uThixo wakho, uhambe ngeendlela zakhe, uyigcine imimiselo yakhe, nemithetho yakhe, nemimiselo yakhe, nemimiselo yakhe.

UDavide wayeqonda ukuba ulonwabo lokwenene lufumaneka ngokugcina imiyalelo kaThixo. Kaloku, amadoda amaninzi ayazi ngamava ukuba isono sizisa ukuziva unetyala, ukungazinzi kunye nolonwabo oludlulayo. Nam andizange ndonwabe njengaxa ndiphila ngendlela uYesu neZibhalo eyandiyalela ukuba ndiyenze, kuba iLizwi likaThixo asiyondlela yokuphila yakudala, kodwa yimfundiso esisiseko. Philayo amandla kaThixo.

Ukuba niyayigcina imiyalelo yam, niya kuhlala eluthandweni lwam… Ndinixelele oku ukuze uvuyo lwam lube kuni novuyo lwenu luzaliseke. (UYohane 15: 10-11)

Nabani na angaphila njengomhedeni, kodwa ukuba nesidima, ukusulungeka, nokuthobela kuthatha indoda yokwenyani.

Amadoda okwenene ayavuya kuba agcina imiyalelo.

 

III. FUNANI KUQALA UBUKUMKANI

UDavide wayesoloko engumntu osentliziyweni kaThixo, yaye xa wayelandela izinto zehlabathi, kulapho uDavide waphulukana novuyo lwakhe. Ihlabathi lixelela indoda ukuba umsebenzi wayo wokuqala kukuzisa inyama yenkomo ekhaya, yondle intsapho yayo, ize yenze isicwangciso esihle somhlala-phantsi. Kodwa oko akutshoyo uYesu:

Funani ke tanci ubukumkani bukaThixo nobulungisa bakhe, zaye zonke ezo zinto ziya kongezelelwa kuni. ( Mateyu 6:33 )

Umsebenzi wethu wokuqala njengamadoda kukufuna uThixo, njengoko uDavide waxelela uSolomon, “ngentliziyo yabo yonke, nangomphefumlo wabo wonke.” Ndikhe ndabona amadoda esenza oku kumaqela awo ezemidlalo, iimoto, nezindlu zangasese—kodwa uThixo? Abantu abanakuze babe ngamadoda okwenyani de baqalise ukuhlakulela intliziyo kaThixo. Kuba ukuba nentliziyo kuThixo kuthetha ukuba zuza intliziyo kaThixo. Kwaye akukho ntliziyo yamadoda ngaphezu kwentliziyo kaYesu.

Ubomi bukaDavide bonke yayiyingoma yokudumisa uThixo. Ukunqula uThixo ngokulahlwayo, njengakwiNdumiso yanamhlanje kufuna inkalipho.

Bobakho, Yehova, ubukumkani; uphakamile wayintloko yeento zonke. Asesandleni sakho amandla nobugorha; kukwakho ukunika bonke ubungangamsha nokomelela.

Amadoda okwenene adumisa uThixo ngobomi bawo.

Kodwa, Bawo, andikwazi… Kodwa uyakwazi ukukhwaza xa iqela lakho lizibekela usukelo kwaye lingakwazi ukuculela iNkosi indumiso, ukuba uphume kancinci kwindlela yakho ukuze ucule oku? Ukudumisa uThixo kukhululekile ngokupheleleyo! —UPOPE FRANCIS, iHomily, ngoJan. 18th, 2014; Zenit.org

 

IV. XHOMEKE KUTHIXO

Ukufuna ubukumkani kuqala kuthetha uku xho mekeka phezu koBawo. Loo nto iphantse yabonakala ichasene nengcamango yanamhlanje yobudoda; indoda ifanele ukuba ingaphakathi ulawulo (kuyo yonke into, ngaphandle kokutya kwakhe, kunjalo).

Kodwa kwiVangeli yanamhlanje, uYesu uthumela abaPostile emhlabeni bengenanto ngaphandle kokholo nomsimelelo.

Wabayala ukuba bangaphathi nto yandlela, ibe ngumsimelelo wodwa; kungabikho kudla, nangxowa yamphako, namali emibhinqweni; Noko ke, babefanele banxibe iimbadada kodwa bangayinxibi eyesibini ingubo.

Asikuko ukuba abapostile babengazifuni ezi zinto. Kukuba uYesu wayefuna bathembe ukuba uYise uya kubabonelela. Ngokukwanjalo, ihlabathi liwafuna ngamandla amadoda aphambili kusindiso lwabanye nokuxhalabela intlalo-ntle yabahlwempuzekileyo—kungekhona isipaji esixotshiweyo.

Ngoko ke ndithi kuni, Musani ukubuxhalela ubomi benu, nisithi nodla ntoni na, nisele ntoni na, nomzimba wenu, nisithi nonxiba ntoni na; ( Mateyu 6:25; 18:3 )

Amadoda okwenene axhomekeke kuBawo njengomntwana kuyise.

 

V. THANDAZA

Xa abapostile benza njengoko uYesu wayebayalele, kwenzeka: imithandazo yabo yokholo yaqala ukususa iintaba.

Abalishumi elinababini bazikhupha needemon ezininzi, bayithambisa ngeoli imilwelwe emininzi, beyiphilisa.

Ndiyanixelela ngoku ukuba uninzi lwezigulo ezingokweemvakalelo kwanasemzimbeni kwiintsapho zethu bezingayi kubakho ukuba amadoda angaba ngabefundisi bekhaya lawo ebefanele ukuba ngawo. Oko kuthetha ukuba abakhokeli iintsapho zabo ngomthandazo kuphela, kodwa babe ngamadoda omthandazo ngokwabo. Kuhlala kukho ixesha lokujonga i-intanethi, ukubukela umdlalo webhola, okanye ukudlala umdlalo wegalufa… kodwa ungaze ube nexesha elaneleyo lokuthandaza. Ewe, andinakuze ndiphinde ngokwaneleyo imfundiso emfutshane yeCatechism:

Umthandazo bubomi bentliziyo entsha. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. 2697

Amadoda amaninzi, kunye neentsapho zawo ezikunye nawo, afa ngokomoya ngenxa yokuba engathandazi. Ubomi bukaDavide babungumthandazo; UYesu wayesoloko ethandaza. Omnye wabalishumi elinesibini awayesenza loo mimangaliso yayinguYudas... wayeka ukuthandaza. Umthandazo yinto eguqula amadoda, yintoni ebanceda ukuba Yomelela kwaye be indoda.

… Ngokuba ngaphandle kwam aninakwenza nto. (UYohane 15: 5)

Amadoda okwenene athandaza yonke imihla.

 

Xa ndilungiselela olu kucamngca namhlanje, ndive iNkosi ithi entliziyweni yam...

Ndifuna amadoda azoshiya yonke into andilandele. Hayi, ukuba ndiya kubabonelela ngokutyebileyo, ukuba ndiya kushukuma phakathi kwabo, ukuba ndiya kuwabonakalalisa kubo amandla am. Kodwa baphi? baphi na abantu abaya kuyishiya iminatha yabo, bazilahle, bandilandele? Isivuno sikhulu, kodwa abasebenzi bambalwa. Thandazani ukuba iNkosi yokuvuna ithumele amadoda okwenene emasimini…

Wanga uPaul Miki kunye namaqabane akhe abafela ukholo bangasithandazela thina madoda!
