Bheka! II - UMichael D. O'Brien
Lokhu kuzindla kwashicilelwa okokuqala ngoNovemba 4, 2005. INkosi ivame ukwenza amagama anjengalawa aphuthumayo futhi abonakale eseduze, hhayi ngoba singekho isikhathi, kodwa ukuze asinike isikhathi! Leli gama manje libuyela kimi ngalelihora ngokuphuthuma okukhulu nakakhulu. Kuyizwi elithi imiphefumulo eminingi emhlabeni wonke iyalizwa (ngakho ungazizwa sengathi uwedwa!) Ilula, kepha inamandla: Lungiselela!
—UPETA WOKUQALA—
THE amaqabunga awile, utshani sebuphendukile, nemimoya yenguquko ivunguza.
Ungakuzwa yini?
Kubonakala sengathi "okuthile" kuseduze, hhayi iCanada kuphela, kodwa sonke isintu.
Njengoba abaningi benu bazi, uFr. UKyle Dave waseLouisiana wayenami cishe amasonto amathathu ukuze asize ekuqongeleleni imali yezisulu zeSiphepho uKatrina. Kepha, ngemuva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa, sabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayehlele okuningi kakhulu ngathi. Sasichitha amahora amaningi usuku ngalunye sithandaza ebhasini lokuvakasha, sifuna iNkosi, kwesinye isikhathi ebusweni bethu lapho uMoya uhamba phakathi kwethu njengepentekoste elisha. Sithole ukuphulukiswa okujulile, ukuthula, ubuningi bezwi likaNkulunkulu, nothando olukhulu. Kwakunezikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu wayekhuluma ngokucacile, ngokungangabazeki njengoba sasiqinisekisa komunye nomunye lokho esasizizwa ukuthi wayekusho. Kwakukhona nezikhathi lapho ububi babukhona ngokusobala ngezindlela engingakaze ngizibone ngaphambili. Kwakucaca kithi ukuthi lokho uNkulunkulu ayezama ukukuxhumana kwakuphikisana kakhulu nesitha.
Ngabe uNkulunkulu wayebukeka ethini?
“Lungiselela!”
Igama elilula… kepha ukhulelwe kakhulu. Kuyaphuthuma kakhulu. Njengoba izinsuku zivelile, linjalo futhi leli gama, njengehlumela eliqhuma ligcwale ukugcwala kwembali. Ngifuna ukuvula le mbali ngangokunokwenzeka emasontweni azayo. Ngakho-ke… nali ipetali lokuqala:
"Phuma! Phuma!"
Ngizwa uJesu ephakamisa izwi lakhe esintwini! "I-Phaphama! Vuka! Phuma!”Uyasibiza ukuthi siphume emhlabeni. Usibizela ngaphandle kobuthakathaka ebesikade sihlala nabo ngemali yethu, ubulili bethu, izifiso zethu, ubudlelwano bethu. Ulungiselela uMlobokazi Wakhe, futhi asikwazi ukungcoliswa yizinto ezinjalo!
Tshela abacebile kulesi sikhathi samanje ukuthi bangaziqhenyi futhi bangathembeli entweni engaqinisekile kangako njengengcebo kodwa bathembele kuNkulunkulu, osinika ngokucebile zonke izinto ukuze sijabule ngazo. (1 Thim 6:17)
Lawa ngamazwi ashiwo eSontweni eliwele kwikhoma elisabekayo. Sishintshanise amaSakramente ngezokuzijabulisa… ingcebo yomkhuleko, amahora amaningi wethelevishini… izibusiso nokududuza kukaNkulunkulu, ngezinto ezingenalutho… imisebenzi yomusa kwabampofu, ngenhloso yokuzicabangela wena wedwa.
Akekho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili. Uyozonda enye athande enye, noma azinikele kokunye adelele enye. Awukwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu nezilwane ezincelisayo. (Math 6:24)
Imiphefumulo yethu ayidalelwanga ukuhlukaniswa. Isithelo salokho kwehlukana ukufa, ngokomoya nangokwenyama, njengoba sibona ezihlokweni eziphathelene nemvelo nomphakathi. Amagama eSambulo ngeBabiloni, lowo muzi ohlubukayo, enzelwe thina,
Sukani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo futhi ningahlanganyeli ezinhluphekweni zayo. (18: 4-5)
Nami ngizwa enhliziyweni yami:
Yiba sesimweni somusa, ngaso sonke isikhathi usesimweni somusa.
Ukulungela okungokomoya ikakhulu yilokho iNkosi ekushoyo ngokuthi “Lungiselela!” Ukuba sesimweni somusa ngaphezu kwakho konke ukungabi nasono sokufa. Kusho nokuzihlola njalo futhi sikhiphe ngosizo lukaNkulunkulu noma yisiphi isono esisibonayo. Lokhu kudinga isenzo sentando yethu, ukuzincisha, nokunikela okufana nengane kuNkulunkulu. Ukuba sesimweni somusa ukuba senhlanganyelweni noNkulunkulu.
ISIKHATHI SEZIMANGALISO
Umuntu esisebenza naye, uLaurier Byer (esimbiza ngokuthi uMprofethi Ogugayo), uthandaze nathi ngobunye ubusuku ebhasini lethu lokuvakasha. Izwi asinike lona, elibambe indawo emiphefumulweni yethu ukuthi,
Lesi akusiso isikhathi senduduzo, kodwa isikhathi sezimangaliso.
Lesi akusona isikhathi sokudlala ngothando ngezithembiso zomhlaba ezingenalutho futhi wehlise iVangeli. Yisikhathi sokuzinikela ngokuphelele kuJesu, simvumele ukuthi enze isimangaliso sobungcwele nokuguquka ngaphakathi kwethu! Ngokufa kithina, sivuselwa ekuphileni okusha. Uma lokhu kunzima, uma uzwa ukudonsa kwamandla adonsela phansi emphefumulweni wakho, phezu kobuthakathaka bakho, khona-ke thola induduzo futhi emazwini eNkosi kwabampofu nabakhathele:
Ingcebo yomusa Wami ivulekile!
La mazwi aqhubeka eza ephindelela. Uthululela umusa kunoma imuphi umphefumulo oza kuye, noma ngabe ungcoliswe kanjani, noma ngabe ungcoliswe kanjani. Kakhulu, ukuthi izipho ezinhle nobabalo zikulindele, ngoba mhlawumbe asikho esinye isizukulwane ngaphambi kwethu.
Bheka Isiphambano Sami. Bona ukuthi sengikuhambele kangakanani. Ngizokufulathela manje?
Kungani lolu bizo lokuthi "Lungiselela", "ukuphuma" lushesha kangaka? Mhlawumbe uPapa uBenedict XVI ukuphendule kahle lokhu enkulumweni yakhe yokuvula eSinodi Yababhishobhi esanda kuba seRoma:
Isahlulelo esamenyezelwa yiNkosi uJesu [eVangelini likaMathewu isahluko 21] sibhekisa ngaphezu kwakho konke ekubhujisweni kweJerusalema ngonyaka ka-70. Nokho usongo lokwahlulelwa lusithinta nathi, iSonto laseYurophu, eYurophu kanye naseNtshonalanga jikelele. Ngaleli Vangeli, iNkosi futhi ikhala ezindlebeni zethu amazwi athi eNcwadini yeSambulo ayibhekise eBandleni Lase-Efesu: “Uma ungaphenduki ngizoza kuwe ngisuse uthi lwakho lwezibani endaweni yalo” (2 : 5). Ukukhanya kungasuswa kithina futhi senza kahle ukuvumela lesi sixwayiso sizwakale ngokungathi sína okuphelele ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngenkathi sikhala eNkosini: “Sisize siphenduke! Siphe sonke umusa wokuvuselelwa kwangempela! Ungavumeli ukukhanya kwakho phakathi kwethu kuqhume! Qinisa ukukholwa kwethu, ithemba lethu nothando lwethu, ukuze sikwazi ukuthela izithelo ezinhle! —Okthoba 2, 2005, eRoma
Kepha uqhubeka athi,
Ingabe ukusongela yizwi lokugcina? Cha! Kukhona isithembiso, futhi leli ngelokugcina, igama elibalulekile… “Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha. Ohlala kimi nami kuye, uzakukhiqiza kakhulu”(Jn 15: 5)… uNkulunkulu akahluleki. Ekugcineni uyaphumelela, uthando luyanqoba.
Sengathi singakhetha ukuba sohlangothini olunqobayo. "Lungiselela! Phuma emhlabeni!”Uthando lusilindele ngezandla ezimhlophe.
Kuningi iNkosi ethe kithi… amacembe amaningi azayo….
UKUFUNDA OKWENGEZIWE:
- Funda wonke "amacembe" amane: Izilwane
- Igama lesiprofetho elinikezwe ngesikhathi sikaKhisimusi 2007 ukuthi u-2008 uzoba unyaka lapho la maPetali azoqala ukuvela khona: Unyaka Wokuvela. Ngempela, ekwindla ka-2008, umnotho waqala ukuwa, okuholela manje ekwakheni uHlelo Olukhulu, “uhlelo lomhlaba omusha.” Bona futhi UMeshing Omkhulu.
