Uze umthande uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke,
nangomphefumlo wakho wonke, nangamandla akho ephela. (Dut 6: 5)
IN uhlala kwi umzuzu wangoku, Siyayithanda iNkosi ngomphefumlo wethu-Oko kukuthi, amandla engqondo yethu. Ngokuthobela uxanduva lomzuzu, Siyithanda iNkosi ngamandla ethu okanye ngomzimba ngokuhoya uxanduva lwemo yethu ebomini. Ngokungena kwifayile ye- Umthandazo womzuzu, siqala ukuthanda uThixo ngeentliziyo zethu zonke.
UKUGUQULA UMZUZU
Ukusukela ekufeni nasekuvukeni kukaYesu, abo babhaptizelwa “kumzimba kaKristu” benziwa ababingeleli bokomoya (ngokuchasene nobubingeleli bobufundisi obubizo oluthile). Kananjalo, elowo kuthi unokuthatha inxaxheba ekusindiseni isenzo sikaKristu ngokunikela ngomsebenzi wethu, imithandazo, kunye nokubandezeleka kwemiphefumlo yabanye. Ukuhlangulwa okuhlangulayo sisiseko sothando lobuKristu:
Indoda ayinakho ukuba nothando olukhulu kunokuncama ubomi bayo ngenxa yabahlobo bayo. (UYohane 15:12)
UPaul Paul wathi,
Ngoku ndiyavuya ezintlungwini zam ngenxa yenu, ndikuzalisa kanye okusileleyo kwiimbandezelo zikaKristu, ngenxa yomzimba wakhe olilo ibandla. (Kol 2:24)
Ngequbuliso, ukwenza umsebenzi oqhelekileyo, oqhelekileyo womzuzu uba ngumnikelo wokomoya, umbingelelo ophilayo onokusindisa abanye. Kwaye ucinga ukuba utshayela nje umgangatho?
YIMBALI YOBHONO
Ukuhlala kwam eMadonna House eOntario, Canada kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, omnye wemisebenzi endayinikwa yayikukuhlela iimbotyi ezomisiweyo. Ndagalela iingqayi phambi kwam, ndaqala ukwahlula iimbotyi ezilungileyo kwezimbi. Ndiqale ukuliqonda ithuba lokuthandaza kulo msebenzi ungathandekiyo womzuzu. Ndathi, "Nkosi, zonke iimbotyi eziya kwimfumba elungileyo, ndenza umthandazo womphefumlo womntu ofuna usindiso."
Ndithe xa ndiqala ukuva emphefumlweni wam ukuba “uvuyo” athetha ngalo uSt. Paul, ndaqala ndalalanisa: “Uyazi, lembotyi ayijongi ukuba imbi. ” Omnye umphefumlo usindisiwe!
Ngenye imini ngobabalo lukaThixo xa ndifika eZulwini, ndiqinisekile ukuba ndiza kudibana namaqela amabini abantu: elinye, eliza kundibulela ngokubekela bucala imbotyi yemiphefumlo yabo; kwaye omnye undityhola ngesuphu yeembotyi eziphakathi.
IDROPHU YOKUGQIBELA
Izolo eMassini xa bendifumana iNdebe, bekukho nethontsi elinye elishiyekileyo legazi likaKristu. Njengoko ndibuyela kwisikhundla sam, ndiye ndabona ukuba kuphela kwento efunekayo ukusindisa umphefumlo wam: ukwehla enye yegazi loMsindisi wam. Ithontsi elinye unokusindisa umhlaba. Hayi indlela elixabiseke ngayo ithontsi elinye kum!
UYesu usicela ukuba sinikele ngethontsi lokugqibela lokubandezeleka kwethu phambi kokuba “ixesha lobabalo” liphele. Kukho ukungxamiseka kweli gama. Uninzi lwabo bandibhalele besithi bayabona ukuba "ixesha lifutshane", kwaye baziva ubizo olomeleleyo lokuthandazela abanye. UYesu usinike ithuba lokuguqula umzuzu ngamnye ube ngumthandazo. Yiyo ke le nto Wayethetha yona ngomyalelo "thandaza ngokungapheziyo": ukunikela umsebenzi wethu kunye nokubandezeleka ngenxa yothando lukaThixo nommelwane, ewe, neentshaba zethu.
Kwidrop yokugqibela.
