IT kunokuba nzima ukufunda okubhaliweyo kule webhusayithi ngamanye amaxesha, ngakumbi Ityala leminyaka esixhenxe equlathe imicimbi ebukhali. Kungenxa yoko le nto ndifuna ukunqumama ndize ndijongane nemvakalelo eqhelekileyo endicinga ukuba abafundi abaliqela bajongene nayo ngoku: imvakalelo yokudakumba okanye usizi malunga nemeko yangoku yezinto, kunye nezo zinto zizayo.
Kufuneka sihlale similiselwe kwinyani. Ewe kunjalo, abanye banokucinga ukuba le nto ndiyibhale apha iyothusa, ndilahlekelwe ziibhere kwaye ndiye ndenziwa mnyama, ndangqondo zimxinwa kwaye ndihlala emqolombeni. Bayibenjalo. Kodwa ndiyaphinda kubo bonke abo baya kuphulaphula: izinto ebendilumkisile ngazo ziza kuthi ngesantya sikaloliwe othutha impahla. Siqala ukuziva kwiintlanga zaseNtshona ngeli xesha Unyaka wokuvela. Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, ndibhale Amaxilongo Esilumkiso-Icandelo IV umyalezo osisilumkiso wokuba kukho imicimbi ezayo eza kuyenza ekuthinjweni. Ayilogama eli ngekamva, kodwa yinto ekhoyo ngoku kwimiphefumlo emininzi evela kumazwe afana ne-China, Mynamar, Iraq, iinxalenye zeAfrika, kunye neendawo zase-United States. Kwaye siyawabona amagama Ntshutshiso eyenzeka phantse yonke imihla njengoko amaqumrhu alawulayo aphambili eqhubeka engatyhalelanga kuphela “amalungelo amafanasini,” kodwa ngokungenalusini ziye ekubathuliseni abo bangavumelaniyo nabo ... oku, ngelixa iimfene ziqala ukufumana amalungelo afanayo njengabantu-enye yemigaqo ekuthethwa ngayo kwixesha elizayo Umanyano lobuxoki.
Kusisiqalo nje seentlungu ezinzima zokubeleka.
Kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke, kufuneka sigcine amehlo ethu ejonge kwiNceba enkulu uThixo aza kuwukhukula umhlaba ngaxa lithile ngeli thuba lesaqhwithi.
INGQEQESHO YOSIZI
Xa uYesu waxelela indoda esisityebi ukuba ihambe iye kuthengisa yonke into, yemka ibuhlungu. Sisenokuvakalelwa ngendlela efanayo; siyabona ukuba indlela esiphila ngayo iza kutshintsha, mhlawumbi kakhulu kwiminyaka ezayo. Oku kusenokuba ngunobangela wentlungu yethu: ingcamango yokuphulukana nobunewunewu bethu size silahle “ubukumkani” bethu obuncinane.
Nokuba maxesha otshintsho olukhulu asifikile, uYesu unawo rhoqo Wabuza abafundi bakhe ukuba bazilahle izinto:
Wonke umntu kuni ongazishiyiyo zonke iimpahla zakhe, akanakuba ngumfundi wam. (Luka 14:33)
Into ethethwa nguYesu apha ngu umoya wokwahlukana. Akungombuzo kangako ngezinto esinazo, kodwa apho uthando lwethu lokwenene kunye nokuzinikela kwethu kulele khona.
Lowo uthanda uyise nokuba ngunina kunam akandifanele mna; nalowo uthanda unyana wakhe nokuba yintombi yakhe kunam, akandifanele mna; Nongawuthabathiyo umnqamlezo wakhe, alandele emva kwam, akandifanele mna. (Mat. 10: 37-38)
UThixo, enyanisweni, ufuna ukuze basikelele. Ufuna ukuba sinandiphe indalo yakhe kwaye silungiselele zonke iintswelo zethu. Ubulula nobuhlwempu bomoya akuthethi ukuswela okanye ubuhlwempu. Mhlawumbi kufuneka siziqale ngokutsha iintliziyo zethu namhlanje. Ukuba kwakhona “nifuna kuqala ubukumkani bamazulu” kunobukumkani bomhlaba. Iloni efukufuku. Imbonakalo yomhlaba eyadini. Peyinta indlu. Gcina izinto zikwimeko entle.
Kodwa kukulungele ukuyiyeka yonke into.
Le yimeko yomphefumlo efunekayo kumfundi kaYesu. Ngamagama, umphefumlo onjalo uyi umhambi.
YIVULE! KWAKHONA NDITHI YONWABENI!
Lonwabele olu suku ngayo nayiphi na impilo entle onayo. Bulela olu suku ngobomi bakho obuza kubakho ngonaphakade. Enkosi ngesipho soBukho bukaYesu kwiSakramente Esikelelekileyo kwiidolophu needolophu zethu. Bulela iintyatyambo kunye namagqabi aluhlaza kunye nomoya oshushu wehlobo (okanye umoya opholileyo wasebusika, ukuba uhlala e-Australia). Tyhila kwindalo yakhe. Jonga ukutshona kwelanga. Hlala phantsi kweenkwenkwezi. Qaphela ukulunga kwakhe okubhalwe kwindalo iphela.
Sikelela iNkosi ngothando lwakhe olungenasiphelo kuwe. Msikelele ngenceba yakhe elinde ngomonde ukuba siguquke. Bulela kuThixo kuzo zonke iimeko zakho, ezilungileyo nezimbi, kuba Intando yakhe yobuThixo iyalela zonke izinto ukuba zilunge. Kwaye ngubani owaziyo? Mhlawumbi olu lusuku lwakho lokugqibela emhlabeni, kwaye unexhala kwaye uxhalabile "ngamaxesha okuphela" ngelize. Eneneni, siyalelwa ukuba “singabi naxhala konke konke.”—Filipi 4:4-7.
Ndithandazela abafundi bam yonke imihla. Ndicela nindithandazise. Yanga sonke singangumqondiso wovuyo kwihlabathi elikhubeka kwiintlungu.
Ke kaloku ngawo amaxesha namathuba, bazalwana, akufuneki nganto ukuba ndinibhalele; Kuba nani ngokwenu niyazi ngokucacileyo, ukuba imini yeNkosi, njengesela ebusuku, yenjenjalo ukuza kwayo. Kuba xenikweni baya kuthi, Luxolo nokunqaba, oko baya kufikelwa yintlekele ngebhaqo, kwanjengenimba komithiyo; Ke nina, bazalwana, anisebumnyameni, ukuba imini leyo iniqubule njengesela. Ngokuba nina nonke ningabantwana bokukhanya, ningabantwana bemini; Asingabo abobusuku okanye abobumnyama. Ngoko ke masingalali, njengabanye aba; masiphaphe sibe ziingcathu. Abalalayo balala ebusuku; nabanxilayo banxila ebusuku. Ke thina bangabemini masibe ziingcathu; masinxibe isigcina-sifuba sokholo nothando, nesigcina-ntloko esilithemba losindiso. Kuba uThixo akasimiselanga ngqumbo; usimisele ukuzuza usindiso ngayo iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, owasifelayo, ukuze nokuba sihleli, nokuba silele, sidle ubomi kwakunye naye. Kungoko ndithi, Thuthuzelanani, nakhane, kwanjengokuba nisenjenjalo. ( 1 Tesalonika 5:1-11 )
