O Jehova, Ngifuna ukuhamba ebukhoneni bakho… kodwa lapho ulwandle lugubha, lapho uMoya kaMoya oNgcwele uqala ukungivuthela esivunguvungwini sokulingwa, ngehlisa ngokushesha amaSeyili okholo lwami, futhi ngiphikisane! Kodwa lapho amanzi ezolile, ngiwaphakamisa ngenjabulo. Manje ngibona inkinga ngokucacile—kungani ngingakhuli ebungcweleni. Noma ngabe ulwandle luyagudla noma luzolile, angiqhubeki phambili empilweni yami kamoya ngibheke ethekwini lobuNgcwele ngoba ngiyenqaba ukungena ezilingweni; noma sekuzolile, ngimane ngime. Manje sengiyabona ukuthi ukuze ngibe uMfundisi Wemikhumbi (ongcwele), kufanele ngifunde ukuhamba olwandle oluphakeme lokuhlupheka, ukuhamba ngezivunguvungu, futhi ngesineke ngivumele uMoya wakho uqondise impilo yami kuzo zonke izindaba nezimo, noma ngabe zimnandi kimi. noma cha, ngoba bayalelwe ekungcwelisweni kwami.
ISITHA SOKUHLUPHEKA
Okungenani emazweni aseNtshonalanga, isitha esikhulu sokuhlupheka si ukuzanelisa ngokushesha.
Kodwa bheka imvelo. Sibona kulotshiwe endalweni ukuhlakanipha nokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu. Umlimi uhlwanyela imbewu yakhe, futhi ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa uvuna. Indoda nomkayo bakhulelwa ingane, futhi ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye ingane iyazalwa. Izinkathi zonyaka kancane kancane zijikeleza; inyanga ikhuphuka kancane; kancane kancane ingane ikhula ibe umuntu omdala. Ngisho noJesu akazange aweqe amacebo kaYise. INkosi yethu ayizange ikhanyiswe ngokuzumayo emhlabeni njengomuntu oneminyaka engama-30. Wazalwa futhi wakhula; Yena"wakhula waba namandla...( Luka 2:40 ) Ngisho noJesu ngokwakhe kwadingeka alinde umsebenzi Wakhe. growing ngokuthobeka, ukuhlakanipha, nolwazi.
Kodwa sifuna ubungcwele manje. Kanye nokudla kwethu, amavidiyo, impumelelo, imiyalezo, cishe nazo zonke ezinye izindlela zokuxhumana nokwanelisa. Ngenxa yalokho, kancane kancane siye safunda ukulinda—"ukukhula nokuba namandla." Ukweneliseka ngokushesha kungenye yezikhali ezikhethekile zikaSathane, ngoba ngokukuletha ezikhathini zethu, wenze ukulinda nokulinda. ukuhlupheka cishe akubekezeleleki, nakuMkristu wesimanje. Kukhona ingozi enkulu lapha:

ULWANDLE OLUPHEZULU LOKUHLUPHEKA
Injalo impela ekuhluphekeni ukuthi umKristu ngamunye ubizelwe, okungukuthi, “ukuhlupheka kobuKristu.” Ngoba wonke umuntu uyahlupheka, ocebile noma ompofu, omnyama noma omhlophe, ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu noma okholwayo. Kodwa ukuhlupheka kuba ezinamandla lapho isihlangene noJesu.
Kokunye, ukuhlupheka kusebenza njengendlela "yokuthulula" umphefumulo wakho, ukuwuvumela ukuba ugcwaliswe ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu.
Ngokuba nabizelwa lokho, ngokuba noKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yenu, enishiyela isibonelo sokuba nilandele ezinyathelweni zakhe… ( 1 Petru 2:21; 1 Johane 2:6 )
Futhi uSt. Paul uyabhala:
Yibani phakathi kwenu isimo sengqondo esifanayo lokho kungokwenu futhi kuKristu Jesu… wazidela, ethatha isimo sesigqila, weza ngomfanekiso womuntu; wafumana isimo somuntu, wazithoba, elalela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo, ukufa esiphambanweni.
Okwesibili, ukuhlupheka, lapho kunikelwa futhi kuhlanganiswe noJesu, kuwufanele ngempela umusa womphefumulo womunye umuntu (bheka Uthando Olunqobayo). Empeleni sihlanganyela ekusindisweni kwabanye lapho, ngesenzo sentando, sithwala ngokubekezela ukulingwa kwethu ukuze kuzuze omunye.
Manje ngiyathokoza ezinhluphekweni zami ngenxa yenu, futhi enyameni yami ngigcwalisa lokho okuntulekayo ezinhluphekweni zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, oyibandla. (Kol 1:24)
Sicela ngokunembile nina enibuthakathaka ukuba nibe umthombo wamandla weBandla nesintu. Empini esabekayo phakathi kwamandla okuhle nokubi, eyembulwa emehlweni ethu emhlabeni wethu wanamuhla, sengathi ukuhlupheka kwakho ebunyeni nesiphambano sikaKristu kunganqoba! —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, ISalvifici Doloros; Incwadi yabaphostoli, ngoFebhuwari 11, 1984
KAKHULU NJENGO JESU
UJohane uMbhapathizi wathi:Umelwe ukukhula; kumele nginciphe" ( Johane 3:30 ) Okusho ukuthi, kufanele ngizifele ukuze uJesu avuke emphefumulweni wami. Kumele ngife ekuthandeni kwami ukuze iNtando kaNkulunkulu iphile kimi "emhlabeni njengasezulwini." Ngikwenza kanjani lokhu kodwa ukwamukela umzuzu ngamunye okulethwa Imimoya kaMoya, ikakhulukazi lapho ithwele ukuhlupheka?

Ngakho-ke, njengoba uKristu wahlupheka enyameni, hlomani nani ngesimo sengqondo esifanayo... ukuze ningachithi okusele ukuphila komuntu enyameni ezinkanukweni zabantu, kodwa entandweni kaNkulunkulu. (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 4:1-2.)
Lapho kufika ukuhlupheka, ngamunye wethu kufanele aphakamise “useyili wokukholwa”, wokwethembana ngokuphelele. Ngoba uNkulunkulu uye wavumela lesi silingo empilweni yami ngenjongo yokungcweliswa noma ukusindisa omunye, noma kokubili.
Ngenxa yalokho, labo abahluphekayo ngokuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu banikela imiphefumulo yabo kumdali othembekile njengoba benza okuhle. (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 4:19.)
Kodwa ukuqulwa kwecala ngeke kuhlale unomphela.
UNkulunkulu womusa wonke owanibizela enkazimulweni yakhe yaphakade ngoKristu Jesu yena uqobo uyakunibuyisela, aniqinise, aniqinise, aniqinise, emva kokuhlupheka isikhashana. (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 5:10.)
