IT kunqabile kubonakala ukuba kukho nantoni na elungileyo enokuza nokubandezeleka, ngakumbi phakathi kuyo. Ngapha koko, kukho amaxesha apho, ngokwendlela yethu yokuqiqa, indlela ebesiyibekile iya kuzisa ezona zinto zilungileyo. “Ukuba ndiyawufumana lo msebenzi, ke…
Kwaye emva koko, siye safika ekupheleni. Izisombululo zethu ziyajika zibe ngumphunga kwaye izicwangciso ziyachaneka. Yaye ngaloo maxesha, sinokuhendeka ukuba sithi, “Ngokwenene, Thixo?”
U-St. Paul wayesazi ukuba wayenenjongo yokuhambisa iVangeli. Kodwa amaxesha amaninzi waphazanyiswa, nokuba kungoMoya, ukwaphukelwa yinqanawa, okanye intshutshiso. Ngalinye lala maxesha, ukushiya kwakhe ukuthanda kukaThixo kwavelisa isiqhamo esingalindelwanga. Thatha ukuvalelwa kukaPawulos eRoma. Wavalelwa edesikeni iminyaka emibini, ebotshelelwe ngamatyathanga. Kodwa ukuba bekungekho kula matyathanga, iileta eziya kwabase-Efese, kwabaseKolose, kwabaseFilipi nakuFilemon ngekhe zibhalwe. UPawulos wayengenakuze aziqaphele iziqhamo zokubandezeleka kwakhe, ukuba ezo leta ziya kuthi ekugqibeleni zifundwe ngabo amawaka ezigidi—nangona ukholo lwakhe lwamxelela ukuba zonke izinto uThixo uzenza okulungileyo kwabo bamthandayo. [1]cf. Roma 8: 28
…kungenxa yethemba likaSirayeli ukuba ndinxitywe le mixokelelwane. (ukufunda okokuqala)
Ukufumana ukholo olungenakoyiswa kuYesu kuthetha ukunikezela kungekuphela nje izicwangciso zakho, kodwa yonke into ezandleni zikaThixo. Ukuthi, “Nkosi, ingelilo eli cebo kuphela, kodwa ubomi bam bonke bobakho ngoku.” Yiloo nto uYesu athetha ngayo xa esithi:wonke umntu kuni ongazishiyiyo zonke iimpahla zakhe, akanakuba ngumfundi wam." [2]Luke 14: 33 Kukubeka ubomi bakho bonke kuYe; kukuthanda ukuya ezweni lasemzini, ngenxa yakhe; ukuthatha umsebenzi owahlukileyo; ukuya kwenye indawo; ukwamkela intlungu ethile. Awunako ukuba ngumfundi waKhe ukuba uthi, “IMisa yangeCawa, ewe, ndiyakwenza oko. Kodwa hayi oku. ”
Ukuba siyoyika ukuzinikela kuYe ngolu hlobo —soyika ukuba uThixo angasicela ukuba samkele into esingayithandiyo-ke asikasali kuye ngokupheleleyo. Sithi, “Ndiyakuthemba… kodwa hayi ngokupheleleyo. Ndiyathemba ukuba wena unguThixo… kodwa hayi oyena thanda kakhulu koobawo. ” Kwaye okwangoku, Lowo-uluthando-yena ngabona bazali babalaseleyo. Ungoyena ulilungisa kubo bonke abagwebi. Ke nantoni na omnike yona, uya kuyibuyisela kuwe kalikhulu.
Umntu wonke othe washiya izindlu, nokuba ngabazalwana, nokuba ngoodade, nokuba nguyise, nokuba ngunina, nokuba ngabantwana, nokuba ngamasimi, ngenxa yegama lam, uya kwamkela kalikhulu, abudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade. ( Mateyu 19:29 )
IVangeli yanamhlanje iphela ngoYohane oNgcwele ebhala:
Kukho nezinye izinto ezininzi awazenzayo uYesu, kodwa ukuba bezinokuchazwa ngokwahlukeneyo, andiqondi ukuba ihlabathi liphela beliya kuba nazo iincwadi eziya kubhalwa.
Mhlawumbi uJohn wacinga ukuba yiloo nto—wayengayi kuphinda abhale—kwaye ngokulula azinikele ekuqaliseni iicawa nokusasaza iLizwi njengabanye abapostile. Kunoko, wagxothelwa kwisiqithi sasePatmos. Mhlawumbi, wahendelwa ekubeni aphelelwe lithemba, ecinga ukuba uSathana wayesandul’ ukoyisa. Wayengazi ukuba uThixo uya kumnika umbono malunga nelo Amatyathanga kaSathana nayo iya kufundwa ngamawaka ezigidi kwinto eya kubizwa ngokuba yi Isityhilelo.
Kwesi sikhumbuzo sabafeli-nkolo baseAfrika, uCharles Lwanga kunye nabalingane bakhe, sikhumbula amazwi akhe phambi kokuba babulawe: “Iqula elinemithombo emininzi alitshi. Xa singasekho, abanye baza kulandela emva kwethu.” Kwiminyaka emithathu kamva, ishumi lamawaka laguqukela kubuKristu kumazantsi eUganda.
Apha kwakhona, siyabona ukuba ukushiywa kwethu ekubandezelekeni, xa simanyene noKristu, kunokuvelisa ezona ziqhamo zingenakubonwa kwangaphambili, ngaphakathi nangaphandle.
… Ekubandezelekeni kuyafihlwa ngokukodwa amandla asondeza umntu ngaphakathi kuKristu, ubabalo olukhethekileyo… ukuze zonke iintlobo zokubandezeleka, ezinikwe ubomi obutsha ngamandla alo Mnqamlezo, zingabi bubuthathaka bomntu kodwa zibe ngamandla kaThixo. —IIPOPE ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, USalvifici Doloris, Ileta yabapostile, n. 26
Inyaniso, Ukukholelwa kuYesu kuYesu yabhalwa ngenxa yetyala mna nomfazi wam esikulo ngoku 
siqhuba nefama yethu. Ngaphandle kolu vavanyo, andikholelwa ukuba ukubhala, okuthe kwanceda abantu abaninzi kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa, ngekungaze kwenzeke. Uyabona, ngalo lonke ixesha sizincama kuThixo, uyaqhubeka nokubhala wethu ubungqina.
IVangeli yokubandezeleka ibhalwe ngokungapheziyo, kwaye ithetha ngokungapheziyo ngamazwi alo mqobo ungaqhelekanga: imithombo yamandla angcwele yampompoza ngokuchanekileyo phakathi kobuthathaka bomntu. —IIPOPE ST. UYOHANE PAUL II, USalvifici Doloris, Ileta yabapostile, n. 26
Ke, ndinqwenela ukuphinda amazwi adumileyo kaSt John Paul II: Sukoyika. Musa ukoyika ukuyivula banzi intliziyo yakho, ukuyeka kuhambe yayo yonke into-lonke ulawulo, yonke iminqweno, onke amabhongo, zonke izicwangciso, zonke izincamatheliso-ukuze ufumane intando yakhe yobuThixo njengokutya kwakho kunye nesixhaso kuphela kobu bomi. Kufana nembewu ethi, xa yamkelwe kumhlaba otyebileyo wentliziyo eshiywe ngokupheleleyo kuThixo, iya kuvelisa isiqhamo amashumi amathathu, namashumi amathandathu, nekhulu. [3]cf. UMarko 4:8 Undoqo kukuba imbewu “iphumle” kwintliziyo elahliweyo.
Ngubani na owaziyo ukuba ngubani na oya kudla kwisiqhamo sakho esingenakubonwa kwangaphambili? ithini?
Yehova, intliziyo yam ayiphakamile, amehlo am akaphakamanga; andizixakekisi ngezinto ezinkulu nezibalulekileyo kum. Ke mna ndiyawuzolisa, ndawuzolisa umphefumlo wam, Njengomntwana ozolileyo esemabeleni kanina; Unjengomntwana ozolileyo umphefumlo wam. ( INdumiso 131:1-2 )
Uyathandwa.
Ukuhamba noMark kwi The Ngoku iLizwi,
cofa kwibhena engezantsi ukuya rhuma.
I-imeyile yakho ayizokwabelwana naye nabani na.
