Amandla kaYesu

Ukwamkela iThemba, Ukuhlaziywa ngu-Lea Mallett

KUNYE IKrismesi, ndathabatha ixesha kobu buxoki ukuze ndenze uhlengahlengiso olufunekayo lwentliziyo yam, ndinamanxeba kwaye ndidiniwe sisantya sobomi esingakhange sinciphe ukusukela oko ndaqala inkonzo yexesha elizeleyo ngo-2000. Kodwa ndakhawuleza ndafumanisa ukuba andinamandla utshintshe izinto kunokuba bendicinga. Oku kundikhokelele kwindawo yokuphelelwa lithemba njengokuba ndizifumene ndizijongile enzonzobileni phakathi kukaKristu nam, phakathi kwam nokuphilisa okufunekayo entliziyweni yam nakusapho… kwaye konke endinokukwenza yayikukukhala ndilile. 

Ukungaqiniseki kobutsha bam, utyekelo lokuxhomekeka kubambiswano, ukulingwa koloyiko kwihlabathi eliqhekekileyo phakathi, kunye nesaqhwithi ehlotyeni elidlulileyo elikhokelele "ukushukuma" ebomini bethu… konke kundikhokelele kwindawo yokuziva ndaphuke mpela. kwaye efe amalungu omzimba. Ngaphambi kweKrisimesi, ndaqonda ukuba kukho umsantsa omkhulu phakathi kwam nomfazi wam. Ngandlela thile, kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, iigear zethu bezingasahambelani, kwaye oku bekuthula cwaka umanyano phakathi kwethu. 

Ndabona ukuba kufuneka ndichithe ixesha ndedwa ndiphinde ndibuyise iminyaka yemikhwa kunye neendlela zokucinga esele zibumbe ubuntu bam. Kulapho ndabhalayo Ukuya Ebusuku, ndapakisha ibhegi, ndaza ndathatha ubusuku bam bokuqala bokubuyela kwigumbi lehotele esixekweni. Kodwa umphathi wam wokomoya waphendula ngokukhawuleza wathi, "Ukuba lo nguKrestu ukumisela entlango, uya kuvelisa iziqhamo ezininzi. Kodwa ukuba lolwakho uluvo, ke yingcuka ejikelezayo kwaye ikutsalele kude nomhlambi, isiphumo soko, 'uya kutyiwa uphila'… ”Loo mazwi andishukumisa kuba ndinqwenela run yomelele kakhulu. Into, okanye mandithi, Umntu wayesithi mandilinde.

Mna ke ndiya kuqwalasela kuYehova; ndiya kulindela kuThixo wokusindiswa kwam; uya kundiva uThixo wam. (UMika 7: 7)

Kwaye, ndilinde ubusuku obunye. Emva koko enye. Kwaye enye. Ngalo lonke ixesha, ingcuka ibindijikeleza, izama ukunditsalela entlango. Kukujonga kuphela emva kokuba ndiqonde ngoku umahluko phakathi yedwa kwaye ukubekwa wedwa. Ukuba wedwa yindawo emphefumlweni, ekunye noThixo, apho sinokuthi silive ilizwi lakhe, sihlale phambi kwakhe, simvumele asiphilise. Umntu unokuba yedwa phakathi kwindawo yentengiso. Kodwa ukuzikhetha yindawo yobulolo nokuphelelwa lithemba. Yindawo yokuzikhohlisa apho ii-egos zethu zisigcina sinenkampani, sigxunyekwe ngulowo uza njengeNgcuka enxibe impahla yegusha.

Yithi cwaka phambi koNdikhoyo. ndilindele kuye, Ndithembe ilizwi likaNdikhoyo, ndithembe ilizwi lakhe. (Iindumiso 37: 7, Iindumiso 130: 5)

Ndenzile, kwaye ibikhona ngaphakathi yedwa ukuba uYesu waqala ukuthetha entliziyweni yam. Okwangoku, ndiyothuka xa ndiyicinga. Wayendincumela lonke ixesha-njengomfanekiso ongentla awathi umfazi wam wandizobela iminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo. Kwakufuneka, kwangaxeshanye, ndiqalise INovena yokuShiya iye yachukumisa uninzi lwethu. Amagama aphilile. Ndaliva entliziyweni yam ilizwi loMalusi Olungileyo lisithi, “Ngokwenene, ndiza kuyilungisa le nto. Ndizoyiphilisa lento. Kufuneka undithembe ngoku… linda… themba… linda… ndiza kuthatha amanyathelo. ” 

Thembela kuYehova, Yomelela; thembela kuNdikhoyo! (Iindumiso 27:14)

Iqhubekile iveki, ndabeka iintambo kubuntu obunyanzelekileyo ndathandaza ndalinda. Kwaye imihla ngemihla, uThixo wandinika ukuqonda ngaphakathi kum, umtshato wam, usapho lwam, kunye nokudlula kwam okwakufana nokukhanya kokugqobhoza emqolombeni. Isityhilelo ngasinye senyaniso, ndizifumana ndikhululwa, ngokungathi kunjalo, kumatyathanga angabonakaliyo.

Ndithembele kuYehova; Oqubuda kum, eve ukukhala kwam… (Iindumiso 40: 2).

Inene, amatyeli aliqela, uMoya oyiNgcwele wandikhokelela ekubeni ndilahle kwaye ndibophe into endiyibonayo yayimimoya ethile eyayindikhathaza ngexhala, uloyiko, ukungazithembi, umsindo njalo njalo. Ngokubizwa kwegama likaYesu, bendinako bazive ukuphakamisa ubunzima kunye nenkululeko kaThixo eqala ukugcwalisa umphefumlo wam.^[1]cf. Imibuzo malunga noHlangulo 

Kusuku olungaphambi koBusuku beKrisimesi, ndagwetywa okokugqibela yiNgcuka eyayinqwenela ukunditsalela kude ndedwa — kude nosapho lwam kunye nawe, mhlambi kaKristu. Ndaya eMassini ngaloo ntsasa, ndabuya ndaya endlwini endandihlala kuyo, ndahlala apho ndisithi, “Kulungile Nkosi. Ndiza kulinda ithutyana. ” Ngaloo nto, uThixo wandinika igama elinye: "Ukuxhomekeka." Ndayazi kancinci le ndlela yokuziphatha / yokucinga eye yahlukumeza abantu abaninzi. Kodwa ndithe ndifunda le nkcazo, ndazibona kakuhle… kususela kwimihla yobutsha bam! Ndiyibonile indlela oku kudlala ngayo kubudlelwane, kodwa ngaphezulu kwako konke, phakathi kwam nomfazi wam. Ngequbuliso, amashumi eminyaka yokungazithembi, uloyiko kunye nokudakumba kwaba nengqondo. UYesu wandityhilela Ingcambu wentlungu yam… yayilixesha lokuba ndikhululwe! 

Ndabhalela umfazi wam ileta, kwaye ngobusuku obulandelayo, sobabini sachitha usuku lweKrisimesi sisodwa sihleli kwiibhokisi zekhadibhodi sisitya isidlo sangokuhlwa saseTurkey phakathi kwendlu yethu-sijongiwe-ukusuka kwelokugqibela lokulungiswa nokulungiswa. Ayisiyiyo yokuba sithandane nangaluphi na ulula. Sasiluhlaza nje kwaye sibuhlungu… kodwa ngoku siqala ukukhula kuthando olusempilweni. 

LINDELA UKUBONA AMANDLA KAYESU

Ngexesha elifanayo yonke le nto yayisenzeka, ndaziva uYesu ethetha igama yeyakho. Kungenxa yokuba Ufuna wena kunyaka ozayo ukuba siwazi amandla aKhe. Ayikokumazi nje-kodwa nokwazi Amandla akhe. Ngandlel 'ithile, iNkosi ime umva kwesi sizukulwana kwaye isivumele ukuba sivune oko sikuhlwayeleyo. Une "waphakamisa umbambi”Evule ucango lokuchasana nomthetho kula maxesha ethu,“ ukudideka okungumtyholi ”okuhlasela namaKrestu. Esi “sohlwayo” senzelwe ukuba sizise ngamnye kuthi kwinto esiyiyo ngokwethu nanjengezizwe ngaphandle koThixo. Njengoko ndijonga kwihlabathi namhlanje, ndiva amazwi kwakhona:

Xa athe wafika uNyana woMntu, wolufumana na ke ukholo ehlabathini apha? (ULuka 18: 8)

Ndibona ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba loo mazwi angazaliseka njani-ngaphandle kokuba siziyekele kuThixo kwakhona (oko kuthetha ukuthi ukuwela ezingalweni zaKhe, kwiNtando kaThixo). Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uYesu ufuna ukutyhila amandla akhe kuthi ngokusebenzisa iinqanawa ezintathu eziphambili: ukholo, ithemba, kwaye uthando. 

Luhleli ke ukholo, ithemba, uthando, ezi zinto zontathu; eyona inkulu ke kuzo apho luthando. (1 kwabaseKorinte 13:13)

Ndiza kukuchaza oku kwiintsuku ezizayo. 

UYesu UPHILE. Akafi. Kwaye uza kutyhila kwihlabathi amandla akhe…

ILizwi ngoku yinkonzo yexesha elizeleyo leyo
iyaqhubeka ngenkxaso yakho.
Usikelele, kwaye enkosi. 

Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
