ILitye Elincinane

NGAMAXESHA ATHILE ukuziva ndingabalulekanga kwam kuyandoyisa. Ndiyayibona indlela ebanzi ngayo indalo kunye nendlela iplanethi enguMhlaba kodwa isuntswana lesanti phakathi kwayo yonke. Ngaphezu koko, kolu phawu lwecosmic, ndingomnye wabantu abaphantse babe zibhiliyoni ezisi-8. Kwaye kwakamsinya, njengeebhiliyoni eziphambi kwam, ndiya kungcwatywa emhlabeni kwaye konke ndilibalekile, ngaphandle mhlawumbi kwabo basondeleyo kum. Yinyaniso ethobayo. Kwaye ebusweni bale nyaniso, ngamanye amaxesha ndiyasokola ingcinga yokuba uThixo angakwazi ukuzikhathaza ngam ngendlela enzulu, yobuqu, nenzulu ecebisa ubuvangeli bale mihla kunye nemibhalo yabaNgcwele. Kodwa ke, ukuba singena kobu budlelwane bobuqu noYesu, njengoko mna kunye nabaninzi benu, yinyani: uthando esinokulufumana ngamanye amaxesha lunzulu, luyinyani, kwaye ngokoqobo "luphuma kweli hlabathi" - ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba ubuhlobo bokwenyani noThixo buyinyaniso Eyona Revolution.

Okwangoku, andibuva ubuncinci bam ngamanye amaxesha kunaxa ndifunda imibhalo yoMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta kunye nesimemo esinzulu sokuba phila kwintando kaThixo...

ITSHWANE ELINCINANE

Abo kuni baqheleneyo nemibhalo kaLuisa bazi kakuhle ukuba umntu unokuncipha njani phambi kobukhulu bento uThixo aza kuyenza kumaxesha ethu- oko kukuthi, ukuzaliseka kuka “Bawo wethu” esiwuthandazele iminyaka engama-2000: “Ubukumkani bakho mabufike, intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni, njengokuba isenziwa eZulwini. In Indlela Yokuphila Kwintando KaThixo, Ndishwankathele intsingiselo yayo, kunye nendlela yokuqalisa ukuphila kwiNtando yobuThixo, njengoko uAdam wayekhe wenza ngaphambi kokuwa kunye nesono sokuqala. Ndiquke uMthandazo wasekuseni (oPrevenint) ocetyiswa kwabathembekileyo ukuba uqalise suku ngalunye. Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha xa ndithandaza oku, ndiye bazive ngokungathi ndenza umahluko omncinane okanye akukho kwaphela. Kodwa uYesu akakuboni ngale ndlela.

Kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo, ndandihamba ecaleni kwechibi ndaza ndagibisela ilitye kulo. Eli litye labangela ukuba amaza andolele ukuya kutsho kwincam yedama lonke. Ndaqonda ngelo xesha ukuba uThixo unento ebalulekileyo awayefanele andifundise yona, yaye ukutyhubela iminyaka, ndisaqhubeka ndiyityhila. Kutshanje ndiye ndafumanisa ukuba uYesu usebenzisa lo mfanekiso ukuchaza imiba yentando kaThixo. (Njengenqaku elisecaleni, ndisanda kufunda ukuba kanye le ndawo ikhoyo eli chibi ineziko elitsha lokubuyela umva elakhiwayo apho, ngokucacileyo, imibhalo engoKuthanda kukaThixo iza kufundiswa.)

Ngenye imini, uLuisa wayeziva engento yanto endiyichaze ngasentla, yaye wakhalaza kuYesu esithi: “Kunceda ngantoni ukuthandaza ngolu hlobo? Ngokwahlukileyo koko, kum kubonakala ngathi oku kububudenge kunomthandazo.” Kwaye uYesu waphendula:

Ntombi yam, uyafuna ukwazi ukuba yintoni elungileyo nefuthe layo? Xa isidalwa siza kuphosa ilitye elincinci lentando yaso kulwandle olukhulu loBuThixo bam, njengoko sibuphosa, ukuba siyafuna ukuthanda, ulwandle olungenasiphelo lwamanzi othando lwam luyaphazamiseka, kwaye ndiziva amaza othando lwam akhupha ivumba lawo lezulu, kwaye ndiva ulonwabo, uvuyo lothando lwam luphazanyiswa lilitye elincinane lentando yesidalwa. Ukuba uyabuthanda ubungcwele bam, ilitye elincinci lomntu liya kugungqa ulwandle lobungcwele bam. Lilonke, nantoni na umntu afuna ukuyenza kuM, iziphosa njengelitye elincinane kulwandle ngalunye lweempawu zam, kwaye njengoko iyaziphazamisa kwaye izikrazula, ndiziva ndinikwa izinto zam, kunye nembeko, uzuko, uthando isidalwa esinokundinika sona ngokobuThixo. —Julayi 1, 1923; Umqulu we-15

Andikwazi ukunixelela ukuba eli gama lindivuyisa kangakanani na kuba mva nje ndiye ndasokola ukukholelwa ukuba umthandazo wam owomileyo wawuchukumisa Intliziyo yoMsindisi. Ewe, ndiyazi kakuhle ukuba ukuqina komthandazo akusekelwanga kwiimvakalelo zethu kodwa ukholo, kwaye ngakumbi, uthando esibathandazela ngayo. Enyanisweni, okukhona isomisa imithandazo yethu kokukhona iyivuyisa ngakumbi iNkosi kuba ngoko sithi kuyo, “Ndiyakuthanda yaye ndininqula ngokholo ngenxa yokuba oko kukufanele, kungekhona ngenxa yeemvakalelo.” Ngokwenene, oku "yinto enkulu" kuYesu:

Oku koko kuthetha ukuthini ukungena kuMyolelo wam: ukushukumisa—ukushukuma uBumo bam nokuthi kum: “Uyayibona na indlela olunge ngayo, othandekayo, onothando, ongcwele, omkhulu, onamandla, onamandla? Uyinto yonke, kwaye ndifuna ukushukumisa Wena uphela ukuze ndikuthande kwaye ndikunike ulonwabo”. Kwaye ucinga ukuba oku kuyinto engenamsebenzi? -Ibhididi.

UMNIKELO WOMDUMO

IZibhalo ziyasikhumbuza:

… Ngaphandle kokholo akunakwenzeka ukumkholisa, kuba nabani na osondela kuThixo kufuneka akholelwe ukuba ukho kwaye uyabavuza abo bamfunayo. (Heb 11: 6)

Kwaye kwakhona,

…masihlale sinikela kuThixo umbingelelo wendumiso, oko kukuthi, isiqhamo somlomo olivumayo igama lakhe. ( Hebhere 13:15 )

Ndingangqina ukuba nangona kunokubakho amaxesha okoma, umthandazo awufane ube njalo ngonaphakade. UThixo usoloko elazi ixesha ‘lokubavuza abo bamfunayo’ ngeenceba esizidingayo, xa sizifuna. Kodwa usukelo lwethu njengamaKristu kukwenza oko oqolileyo “kwisigxina esipheleleyo sikaKristu.”^[1]I-Eph 4: 13 Ke ngoko, ukuqonda kwethu ukungabi nto, ukuqonda kwethu isono kunye nesidingo sokuhlanjululwa kubalulekile ukuze sihlale sithobekile phambi koThixo wethu kwaye sixhomekeke kuye.

Uxelelwe, mntundini, okulungileyo, akubizayo uYehova kuwe, ukuba wenze okusesikweni, uthande okulungileyo, uhambe noThixo wakho ngokuthozamileyo. ( Mika 6:8 )

Ngoko kwixesha elizayo xa uva ukuba imithandazo yakho ililize… yazi ukuba oku kunokuba likratshi okanye nokuba sisihendo sokulahla umthandazo ngenxa yokudimazeka. UYesu wathi yena ungumdiliya thina singamasebe. Ukuba uSathana unokukwenza ukuba uyeke ukuthandaza ngoko ukunqumle kwincindi yoMoya oyiNgcwele. Uyayibona okanye uyiva incindi iqukuqela emthini weziqhamo? Hayi, kodwa ke, isiqhamo sifika ehlotyeni xa ilixesha.

hlalani kum, mna ndihleli kuni. Njengokuba isebe lingenako ukuthwala isiqhamo ngokwalo, lingahlalanga emdiliyeni, ngokunjalo aninako nani, ukuba anihlalanga kum. ( Yohane 15:4 )

Ngoko unganikezeli. Qhubekani nimdumisa uThixo, ngamaxesha onke naphi na, nakuba nivakalelwa.^[2]cf. Indlela encinane yaseSt Qhubeka nokunyamezela kwaye uyazi ukuba ntoni yenza umahluko—ingakumbi kuYesu—ova ukuvuthuza kwelitye elincinane lothando elaphoswa kulwandle lobuThixo bakhe.
