Amatye okuChasana

 

NDIYA ungaze uyilibale loo mini. Ndathandaza kwindlu yam yomlawuli womoya phambi kweSakramente eliSikelelekileyo xa ndeva entliziyweni yam la mazwi: 

Beka izandla kwabagulayo kwaye ndiza kubaphilisa.

Ndangcangcazela emphefumlweni. Ngequbuliso ndabona imifanekiso yamabhinqa amancinci azinikeleyo aneetayili entloko ekhwaza, kungena izihlwele, abantu befuna ukubamba “ixhwele.” Ndaphinda ndangcangcazela kwaye ndaqala ukulila njengoko umphefumlo wam ubuyila. "Yesu, ukuba ubuza lo nto nyani, ndifuna ukuba uyiqinisekise." Ngokukhawuleza ndeva:

Thatha ibhayibhile yakho.

Ndithathe ibhayibhile yam yawa yavuleka kwiphepha lokugqibela likaMarko apho bendifunda khona,

Le miqondiso iyakukhapha abo bakholelwayo: egameni lam… Bayakubeka izandla kwabagulayo, baphile. (UMarko 16: 18-18)

Ngephanyazo, umzimba wam wawufakwa ngokungachazwanga "ngumbane" kwaye izandla zam zazingcangcazela ngentambiso enamandla kangangemizuzu emihlanu. Yayingumqondiso ocacileyo womzimba into endiza kuyenza…

 

UKUTHEMBEKA, AKUPHUMELELANGA

Kungekudala emva koko, ndenza umfundisi kwiVancouver Island kunxweme olusentshona Canada. Ngomhla wokugqibela wobufundisi, ndakhumbula oko kwathethwa nguYesu kum, ke ngoko ndanikela ukuthandazela nabani na ongathanda ukuza ngaphambili. Ilungu lekwayala lidlale umculo ngokuzolileyo ngasemva xa abantu befaka iifayile. Ndabeka izandla zam phezu kwabo ndathandaza.

Akukho nto.

Kwakungathi ndizama ukunika inkamela ithontsi lamanzi kwinkozo yentlabathi. Kwakungekho nelinye lamandla obabalo ahamba. Ndikhumbula ndiguqe phantsi, ndithandaza ngenyawo lelinye inenekazi, ndaza ndathi kum, “Nkosi, kufuneka ndibonakale ndisisidenge. Ewe, mandibe sisidenge Kuwe! ” Ngapha koko, kude kube namhla, andazi ukuba iNkosi yenza ntoni xa abantu bendicela ukuba ndibathandazele. Nangona kunjalo, kubaluleke ngakumbi ukuba ndithobele, kunokuba ndiphendulwe imibuzo yam. Kwakucacile ngoko, njengokuba kunjalo ngoku, ukuba ubuze ntoni me ukwenza. Konke kuxhomekeke kuye, kubandakanya neziphumo.

Kutshanje, siye sathengisa ibhasi yethu esasikade sihamba ngayo kangangeminyaka eliqela kuMntla Merika. Kudala ndizama ukuyithengisa ndingenamthengi. Okwangoku, yehla ngamawaka angamashumi amane amawaka eedola, kwaye yabiza ubuncinci isiqingatha sayo kulungiso. Kwaye besingasebenzisi yona! Kodwa ngoku ithengisile, kwaye ngexabiso elingephi. Ndizifumene ndizibuza ngokuvakalayo: “Nkosi, kutheni ungazisanga kumthengi kwiminyaka emihlanu edlulileyo xa ibixabiseke ngokuphindwe kabini?!” Kutheni le nto ndiva ukuba wayencuma ngempendulo ethe cwaka?

La ngamabali nje ambalwa — kwaye ndinganika amashumi ngaphezulu — okuphikisana emva kokuphikisana endikhe ndahlangana nako kubulungiseleli nakubomi bosapho. Ndingalindela ukuba uThixo enze into enye, kwaye uyakwenza enye. Ndikhumbula ngelinye ixesha xa ndandingasebenzi kwaye ndiqhekeza nabantwana abahlanu ukuze ndibondle. Bendipakisha izixhobo zesandi ukushiya ikonsathi, ndizibuza ukuba ingaba yintoni malunga nokuba kunjalo. Kwaye ndiyayikhumbula iNkosi ngokucacileyo isithi entliziyweni yam,

Ndicela ukuthembeka, ungaphumeleli.

Lawo yayingamagama aphambili kum ngala mini. Ndihlala ndibakhumbula ngamaxesha okudimazeka kunye noloyiso. Umamkeli wam wamanga wakha wathi kum, "Ukuphumelela kukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo ngalo lonke ixesha." Kwaye ukuthanda kukaThixo, ngamanye amaxesha, kuyaphikisana noko umntu ebeya kukwenza Ndicinga ingangcono…

 

AMATYE OKUCHASANA

Kutshanje ndithandaza, ndibuze uBawo: "Kutheni, Nkosi, uthembisa ukunceda abalungileyo, ukanti, xa sithandaza kwaye sibiza kuwe, kubonakala ngathi awusiva, okanye iLizwi lakho alinamandla? Xolela umbuzo wam ongqindilili… ”Ekuphenduleni, umfanekiso wodonga lwelitye weza engqondweni. Ndiyivile iNkosi isithi, xa ubona ilitye ngaphakathi kodonga olubonakala lukhululekile, ungafuna ukulikhupha. Kodwa ngequbuliso, ukuthembeka kwalo lonke udonga kuyonakaliswa. Kuyinyani, ilitye akufuneki likhululeke, kodwa lisebenza ngenjongo. Ngokunjalo nobubi nokubandezeleka, nangona kungenakwenziwa nguThixo, kuvumelekile kuye ukuba kufezekise injongo: ukungcwaliswa nokucocwa kwethu. Zonke ezi zinto zisebenzela ukulunga komphefumlo, kwaye konke ukulunga ngeendlela ezingenakuqondwa yingqondo yomntu.

Umnqamlezo kunye noNyana woMntu lilitye eliKhulu-ilitye lembombo-elixhasa lonke ubume behlabathi. Ngaphandle kweli Litye, umhlaba ngewungabikho namhlanje. Jonga ukuba kukhulu okuhle okukuyo! Ngokunjalo, yonke iminqamlezo yobomi bakho iba ngamatye axhasa ukuthembeka kwabo bonke ubomi bakho. Kukangaphi sijonga emva kwizilingo esizinyamezeleyo kwaye sithi, “Kwakunzima ngelo xesha, kodwa andizukuthengisa lo mnqamlezo ngayo nantoni na! Ubulumko endibufumene kuyo abunakuthelekiswa nanto… ”Olunye ulingo, nangona kunjalo, luseyimfihlakalo, injongo yazo isagqunywe emehlweni ethu. Oku kusibangela ukuba sizithobe phambi koThixo simthembe ngakumbi nangakumbi… okanye sibe nobukrakra kwaye sibe nomsindo, simlahle, nokuba yinto nje egudileyo egudileyo kwicala lakhe.

Cinga ngomntu okwishumi elivisayo onomsindo kubazali bakhe ngokumnika ixesha lokubuya ekhaya ngexa langokuhlwa. Ukanti, xa umntwana efikisa ebudaleni, ujonga ngasemva abone ubulumko babazali bakhe ekumfundiseni ingqeqesho ayifunayo kwikamva.

Asifanele na ke ukumlulamela ngakumbi uYise womoya size siphile? Kuba bona okunene basiqeqesha imihla embalwa, ngokokuzithandela kwabo, kodwa yena usiqeqeshela okusilungeleyo, ukuze sahlulelane ngobungcwele bakhe. Ngeli xesha, lonke uqeqesho lubonakala ngathi alungonobangela wovuyo kodwa intlungu, ukanti kamva luzisa isiqhamo soxolo sobulungisa kwabo baqeqeshiweyo siso. (Heb 12: 9-11)

UJohn Paul II ukubeka ngenye indlela:

Ukumamela uKristu nokumnqula kusikhokelela ekubeni sizikhethele ngenkalipho, sithathe izigqibo ngamanye amaxesha zobuqhawe. UYesu uyafuna, kuba unqwenela ulonwabo lwethu lwenene. Icawe ifuna abangcwele. Bonke babizelwe ebungcweleni, kwaye abantu abangcwele bodwa banokuhlaziya ubuntu. -UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMyalezo weSuku loLutsha kwiHlabathi liphela wowama-2005, eVictoria City, Agasti 27, 2004, Zenit.org

Akukho lusindiso ngaphandle komnqamlezo; abukho ubungcwele ngaphandle kokubandezeleka; alukho ulonwabo lwenene ngaphandle kokuthobela.

 

Siphila kwixesha leempikiswano ezinkulu! Ngokomgangatho wobumbano, iBandla — uYesu awathembisa ukuba amasango esihogo awasokuze alwe nalo — libonakala liphangiwe ngokupheleleyo yihlazo, ubunkokheli obubuthathaka, ukuba dikidiki nokoyika. Ngaphandle, umntu unokuwubona ngokoqobo umsindo kunye nokunganyamezelani kunyuka kuye kwihlabathi liphela. Ngokunjalo nakubomi bethu bobuqu, ndiyeva apho ndiya khona ukuba kukho ukubandezeleka okukhulu phakathi kwabazalwana. Intlekele ngokwasezimalini, ukugula, ukungaqeshwa, iingxabano emtshatweni, iyantlukwano kusapho… ingathi uKrestu usilibele!

Akunjalo. Endaweni yoko, uYesu ulungiselela uMtshakazi wakhe Umnqweno. Kodwa hayi kuphela Ukutshutshiswa kweCawa, kodwa ukuvuka kwakhe. Amagama asuka kuloo nto Isiprofeto esinikwe eRoma ^[1]Bukela uthotho lwesiprofeto eRoma: www.embracinghope.v  kubukho bukaPopu Paul VI buya busanda kum ngeli lixa. Qaphela ngakumbi la macandelo akrwelelwe apha ngezantsi:

Kuba ndiyakuthanda, ndifuna ukukubonisa endikwenzayo emhlabeni namhlanje. Mna Ndifuna ukukulungiselela okuzayo. Imihla yobumnyama iyeza Ihlabathi, imihla yeembandezelo… Izakhiwo ezihleliyo ngoku aziyi kubakho emi. Iisupport ezikhoyo ebantwini bam ngoku azizubakho. Ndifuna nilungiselele, bantu bam, nazi mna kuphela, ninamathele kum kwaye nibe nam ngendlela enzulu kunangaphambili. Ndiza kukusa entlango… Ndiza kukuhluba Yonke into oxhomekeke kuyo ngoku, ke uxhomekeke kum. Ixesha le ubumnyama buyeza ehlabathini, kodwa ixesha lozuko liza kwiCawa yam, a ixesha lozuko liza kubantu bam. Ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho zonke izipho zoMoya wam. Ndizokulungiselela umlo wasemoyeni; Ndizokulungiselela ixesha lokushumayela elingazange labonwa lihlabathi…. Kwaye xa ungenanto ngaphandle kwam, uya kuba nayo yonke into: umhlaba, amasimi, amakhaya, kunye nabantakwabo kunye noodade nothando kunye uvuyo noxolo kunanini na ngaphambili. Zilungiseleleni bantu bam, ndifuna ukuzilungiselela wena… -Peter's Square, ngoMeyi, 1975, ngePentekoste ngoMvulo (enikwe nguRalph Martin)

U-Yesu usihlutha intuthuzelo yethu yeli hlabathi kunye nokuzithemba kwethu okubulalayo okuye kwaba lunqulo-zithixo kwabaninzi eCaweni, ingakumbi kumazwe afumileyo aseNtshona. Kodwa le nkqubo ibuhlungu ihlala ivakalelwa ngokungathi uyasishiya! Inyani yile, akawasusi la matye aphikisayo kuba iyakuchitha ingqibelelo yento ayakhayo emphefumlweni wakho. Ufuna oku kubandezeleka ukuze uthembele ngakumbi kwaye ulahliwe kuye. Liyeza ixesha apho thina eCaweni singasayi kuba nanto ngaphandle kwaKhe, phantse ngazo zonke iindlela onokucinga ngazo. Ewe, uSathana uya kukusebezela,Uyabona, ngokungathi uThixo akakho! Yonke into ayenzeki. Okulungileyo nokubi, kwenzeka kuye wonke umntu ngokufanayo. Yiyeke le nkolo yobudenge kuba ayikuncedisi nganto. Ngaba ngekhe ubengcono xa ulandela ithuku lakho kunokholo lwakho?! ”

Ayibobonelelo na ukuba uPopu abhengeze lo nyaka, "Unyaka wokholo? ” Kungenxa yokuba ukholo lwabaninzi luyahlaselwa kwiziseko zalo…

 

SUKUNCAMA!

Kodwa unganikezeli, mzalwana wam othandekayo, dade wethu othandekayo! Ewe, udiniwe kwaye unamathandabuzo amakhulu. Kodwa uThixo uyagoba, akayaphuli ingcongolo.

UThixo uthembekile kwaye akazukuvumela ukuba ulingwe ngaphaya kwamandla akho; Kunye nesilingo oko uya kuthi akunike nendlela yokuphuma, ukuze nibe nako ukusithwala… Kuqwalaseleni oko kuluvuyo olukhulu, bazalwana bam, xa nihlangabezana nezilingo ezahlukahlukeneyo, kuba niyazi ukuba ukuvavanywa kokholo lwenu kuvelisa unyamezelo. Kwaye unyamezelo malufezeke, ukuze nibe ngabazalisekileyo nabagqibeleleyo, ningaswele nto. (1 Cor 10: 13; Yakobi 1: 2-4)

Oko kukuthi, kuye, unamandla ngakumbi kunokuba ucinga.

Ndinamandla ayo yonke into ngaye lowo undomelezayo. KwabaseFilipi 4:13.

Ngaphandle koko, uThixo akazange amsindise okuphela koNyana wakhe okanye umama wakhe ukuphikisana! Xa uMariya wayekulungele ukubeleka, kwafuneka ukuba bathabathe uhambo olude oluya eBhetelehem ukuya kubalwa. Bakuba befikile ke — nge-esile — akwabikho ndawo yabo! Ngokuqinisekileyo, uYosefu wayenokulithandabuza ilungiselelo likaThixo ngelo xesha… mhlawumbi yonke lento kaMesiya yayiyintsomi nje emva kwayo yonke loo nto? Kwaye xa ingenakonakala ngakumbi, umntwana uzalelwa esitalini. Emva koko kufuneka basabele eYiputa kunokuba babuyele ekhaya! Mhlawumbi uJoseph wahendeka ukuba athethe eNkosini oko uTeresa waseAvila wayekhe wakwenza:Ukuba le yindlela obaphatha ngayo abahlobo bakho, akumangalisi ukuba unabaninzi kangaka iintshaba! "

Kodwa bobabini yena noJoseph wanyamezela, kwaye ekugqibeleni, bafumana ulonwabo uYesu awayenqwenela ukuba babenalo. Kungenxa yokuba intando kaThixo ngamanye amaxesha ithatha ukufihla okukhathazayo kwelitye lokuphikisana. Kodwa efihliweyo ngaphakathi kuyo yiperile yamandla amakhulu ezisa ingqibelelo kulo lonke ulwakhiwo lomoya. Ukubandezeleka kuzisa isimilo, isimilo sizala ubuhle, kwaye isidima siba kukukhanya kwihlabathi likhanya ngaphakathi.

… Zikhanye njengezikhanyiso ehlabathini, njengokuba ubambelele kwilizwi lobomi… (Phil 2: 15-16)

Kwakhona, uYesu ngokwakhe wanyamezela ukungqubana okuninzi. "Iimpungutye zinemingxuma, neentaka zezulu zineendawo zokuhlala; ke yena uNyana woMntu akanayo nendawo le yokufaka intloko, "U ^[2]Luke 9: 58 Wakhe watsho. UThixo ngokwakhe wayengenabhedi elungileyo! Xa wayesengumntwana, Wayesazi ukuba wayenothumo oluvela kuYise, kwaye ngoko nangoko waya etempileni xa wayese Yerusalem. Kodwa kwafika abazali baKhe abathi makagoduke Apho azokuhlala khona iminyaka eli-18 elandelayo de, ekugqibeleni, ngexesha elimiselwe nguThixo, umsebenzi wakhe wawulungile. Xa bekunjalo Ixesha, uYesu wayezele nguMoya ngelixa ilizwi liphuma ezulwini lisithi, “Lo nguNyana wam oyintanda endikholisiweyo nguye." ^[3]cf. UMat. 3:17 Ke ibiyiyo le! Yile nto yayilindelwe lilonke!

Nope.

Endaweni yoko, uYesu wakhokelelwa entlango apho walamba khona, wahendwa, kwaye wahluthwa nantoni na.

Kuba asinambingeleli mkhulu ungenako ukuvelana nezilwelwe zethu; ke, sinowahendwayo ngeento zonke, ngokokungabi nasono. Masisondele ngokuzithemba kwitrone yobabalo ukuze sifumane inceba kwaye sifumane ubabalo ngoncedo olufike ngexesha elifanelekileyo. (Heb 4: 15-16)

Ayinakuba nayo nayo iNkosi yethu Ukulingwa ngelo xesha ukuba akholelwe ukuba uBawo umshiyile kwiimpikiswano ezinjalo? Kodwa njengemimoya yentlango ^[4]cf. Intlango yesihendo kwaye Indlela Yasentlango Bhomboloza ngakuYe, u-Yehova wathetha into ekufuneka ngoku isiba sisiqubulo sethu sonke. Wayitsho xa uSathana wahenda uYesu ukuba ajike ilitye-a ilitye lokuphikisana—Kukuba sisonka nje kuphela.

Umntu akaphili ngasonka sodwa, kodwa ngamazwi onke aphuma emlonyeni kaThixo. (Mat 4: 4)

Kwaye ke uLuka usixelela ukuba xa wayevela entlango,

UYesu wabuyela eGalili amandla kaMoya… (Luka 4:14)

UThixo uzama ukusisusa ekubeni "sigcwaliswe" kuphela nguMoya siye kungena amandla zoMoya oyiNgcwele. Akasiniki ubabalo lokungcwaba emhlabeni kuphela. Njengoko isiprofeto eRoma sitsho,

Ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho zonke izipho zoMoya wam.

Kufuneka sikhukuliswe kuqala ngaphambi kokuba sigcwaliswe, kwaye sigcwaliswe ukuze sibe nako kunikwe amandla. Kodwa ukuxhobisa kuza kuphela entlango; kwiziko lomcoci; ekubetheni kobuthathaka, ekuthobekeni nasekuzinikeleni… ngapha nangapha koMnqamlezo.

Ubabalo lwam lukwanele, kuba amandla enziwa agqibelele kubuthathaka. (2 Kor. 12: 9)

Kithina kumazwe aseNtshona, oku kuya, kwaye kuya kuba buhlungu kakhulu. Nangoku, kufuneka siqale ukuthi, “Thixo, andilwazi olu vavanyo; ayinangqondo. Kodwa siya kubani? Nguwe onamazwi obomi obungunaphakade. ^[5]John 6: 68 Ndiya kuthembela kuwe. Ndiza kukulandela, Nkosi yam noThixo wam. ” Ewe, la magama afuna isibindi, athatha amandla-amandla, amandla, kunye nomnqweno. Yiyo loo nto kufuneka sithandazele ukunyamezela njengoko u-Yesu asiyalelayo, ngakumbi xa sihendelwa ekunikezeleni… ukulala ebuthongweni obubulalayo bokungakhathali kunye nentandabuzo. ^[6]cf. Uyabiza ngelixa Silala

Kutheni ulele nje? Vuka uthandaze, ukuze ungavavanywa. (ULuka 22:46)

Kodwa uthi komnye nomnye wethu:

Yomelelani, ndim; Musani ukoyika… Ndinixelele ezi zinto ukuze nibe noxolo kum. Ehlabathini niya kuba neengxaki, kodwa yomelelani, ndiloyisile ihlabathi. (Mat 14:27; Yoh 16:33)

Ekugqibeleni, ke, la matye okuphikisana aya kuthi abe yinto yethu amatye amandla. Kufuneka siyeke ukucela uBawo ukuba ajike la matye abe zizonka ezilula, kwaye endaweni yoko, siqaphele kubo into enkulu kakhulu: nguThixo ukutya komphefumlo.

Okwam ukutya kukuba ndenze ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ndiwufeze umsebenzi wakhe. (UYohane 4:33)

Sukuncama. Thembela kuYesu ngentliziyo yakho yonke, kuba ukufuphi. Akayi ndawo (angaya phi?)…

Usondele uYehova kwabantliziyo zaphukileyo, abasindise abamoya utyumkileyo… Usondele uYehova kubo bonke abamnqulayo… (INdumiso 34:18; 145: 18)

Singena kwidabi elikhulu-eyona inkulu iBandla eliya kuthi linokudlula kuyo. ^[7]cf. Ukuqonda iMfazwe yokuGqibela Akayi kumshiya uMtshakazi waKhe, ngoku nangonaphakade. Kodwa uzokumhluba iingubo zakhe ezimdaka ukuze ambathe lubabalo namandla kaMoya oyiNgcwele. ^[8]cf. Umfazi ohamba ze

Thembeka, kwaye ushiye impumelelo kuye ... kuye yedwa owakha udonga.

… Njengamatye aphilileyo yakheni nibe yindlu yokomoya… (1 Pet 2: 5)

Baqinisa imimoya yabafundi kwaye babakhuthaza ukuba bazingise elukholweni, besithi, "Kuyimfuneko ngathi ukuba sityhubele ubunzima obuninzi ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo." (IZenzo 14:22)
