Ingabe uNkulunkulu Uthule?

Maraki othandekayo,

UNkulunkulu axolele i-USA. Imvamisa ngingaqala ngoNkulunkulu abusise i-USA, kepha namuhla omunye wethu angamcela kanjani ukuthi abusise okwenzeka lapha? Siphila ezweni elikhula ngokuya liba mnyama. Ukukhanya kothando kuyaphela, futhi kuthatha wonke amandla ami ukugcina leli langabi elincane livutha enhliziyweni yami. Kepha ngoJesu, ngiyigcina ivutha namanje. Ngincenga uNkulunkulu uBaba wethu ukuthi angisize ngiqonde, futhi ngibone ukuthi kwenzekani emhlabeni wethu, kepha yena uthule ngokuzumayo. Ngibheka kulabo baprofethi abathembekile balezi zinsuku engikholwa ukuthi bakhuluma iqiniso; wena, nabanye amabhulogi abo nemibhalo engingayifunda nsuku zonke ukuthola amandla nokuhlakanipha nokukhuthazeka. Kodwa nonke nithule. Okuthunyelwe obekuzovela nsuku zonke, kuphendukele kuviki, bese kuba nyangazonke, futhi kwezinye izimo minyaka yonke. Ngabe uNkulunkulu useyekile ukukhuluma nathi sonke? Ingabe uNkulunkulu ubususile ubuso Bakhe obungcwele kithina? Angithi nje ubungcwele bakhe obuphelele babekezelela kanjani ukubheka isono sethu…?

OTHANDWAYO umfundi, akuwena wedwa oye wezwa “ukushintsha” endaweni yomoya. Ngingahle ngibe nephutha, kepha ngikholwa ukuthi isikhathi sokunikeza "izexwayiso" sesisondela ekugcineni. Lapho nje ikhala leTitanic liqala ukutsheka emoyeni, bekucaca kahle kunoma yikuphi ukungabaza okusele ukuthi kwakuwumkhumbi owawuzokwehla. Ngokunjalo futhi, izimpawu zisizungezile ukuthi umhlaba wethu usufinyelele eqophelweni elithile. Abantu bayakubona lokhu, ngisho nalabo “abangakholwa” ngokukhethekile. Kuya ngokuya kungafuneki ukuxwayisa abantu ukuthi umkhumbi uyacwila lapho sebevele bafuna isikebhe sokusindisa abantu.

Ngabe uNkulunkulu usifulathele? Ngabe usilahlile na? Nguye uthule?

Ingabe umama angalukhohlwa usana lwakhe, angabi nalo isisa enganeni yakhe? Noma kufanele akhohlwe, angisoze ngakukhohlwa wena. Bheka, ngikubhalile ezintendeni zezandla zami (Isaya 49: 15-16)

UJesu uthi,

Izimvu zami ziyalizwa izwi lami; Ngiyabazi, futhi bayangilandela. Ngizinika ukuphila okuphakade, azisoze zabhubha naphakade; Akekho ongazithatha esandleni sami. (Johane 10:27)

Uyabona-ke, uNkulunkulu unabantu baKhe abaqoshwe esandleni saKhe, futhi akekho ozobantshontsha kuYe. Futhi bona kuthanda uzwe izwi laKhe. Kepha lo mhlambi udinga ukuhlanzwa ukuze ungene ngokuphelele kuhlelo lwaKhe lokusindisa umhlaba. Futhi-ke, njengoMalusi Omuhle, manje uhola abantu Bakhe baye ehlane. Lapho ehlane lezilingo, izilingo, ukungabaza, ukwesaba, izinsizi, ubumnyama, ukoma, nokubonakala ngathi ukuthula, ukholo lweqiniso luyavivinywa. Futhi uma sibekezela, uma singabaleki kuleli hlane, ukholo lwethu luyoba njalo kuhlanzwe. Ngemuva kwalokho singaba yi- ongcwele abantu, imiphefumulo ethwala ukukhanya kukaKristu ebumnyameni balo mhlaba; abantu abembulela abanye ubuso bukaJesu, ubuso bothando, injabulo nokuthula — noma nje lapho umkhumbi ucwila.

Lokhu akuyona i-gobbely-gook engaqondakali. Kunguqiniso lalokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo namuhla, futhi ngamunye wethu kumele azikhethele manje ukuthi sizoba ngakuphi uhlangothi. Ukuthi sizolandela umgwaqo obanzi noma omncane. Futhi ukuqhaqhazela kudlula emphefumulweni wami njengoba ngibona imiphefumulo eminingi babaleka kuleli hlane, belahla ukholo lwabo, badela. Kungashiwo kufanele ukuthi sifakaza a ukuhlubuka okukhulu kusuka okholweni emhlabeni wonke, kepha ikakhulukazi ezizweni eziseNtshonalanga zobuKristu. Ukuwohloka komphakathi kanye nezici zeBandla uqobo kuyashesha ngokushesha okukhulu, ukuthi kuyamangaza ukubona ukufiphala kwempucuko ngesikhathi sangempela.

UMPHOSTOLI WAMI

Kusukela ngagcina ukubhala lapha ekuqaleni kukaJuni, ngithathe isikhathi ukuthandaza, ukucabangisisa, nokubuza imibuzo ebucayi ngempilo yami yobuphostoli kanye nomndeni wami. Yini uJesu ayifunayo kimi, ikakhulukazi lapho ngiboleka imali ukuze ngondle umndeni wami? Yini engiyenzayo engalungile? Yini okufanele ngiyishintshe?

Le kube yimibuzo enzima, futhi kubonakala sengathi ukuze ngiyiphendule, iNkosi ingingenise enhliziyweni yobusuku bogwadule, ekujuleni kwezincithakalo. Ngihlale ngikhumbula amazwi kaMama Teresa:

Indawo kaNkulunkulu emphefumulweni wami ayinalutho. Akekho uNkulunkulu kimi. Lapho ubuhlungu bokulangazelela bukhulu kakhulu — ngilangazelela nje futhi ngilangazelela uNkulunkulu… bese kuba sengathi ngibona ukuthi akangifuni — Akekho — uNkulunkulu akangifuni. - Umama uTeresa, Woza Ngokukhanya Kwami, UBrian Kolodiejchuk, MC; ikhasi. 2

Ngalesi sikhathi, ngiye ngithole izincwadi nsuku zonke ezivela kubafundi emhlabeni wonke zinikeza amazwi okukhuthaza, ukwesekwa, futhi njengomfundi ongenhla, ngizibuza ukuthi kungani “nginyamalele” Ngifuna ukutshela ngamunye wenu ukuthi izincwadi zenu zaziyinkungu emnene evela kuJesu eyenza ukoma kogwadule kwabekezeleka kancane. Ngifuna futhi ukunibonga ngokuqonda ukuthi bengisidinga lesi sikhathi, njengoba ngabhala ngoJuni, ukukhuleka nokuzindla, "ukuhamba" ngiphumule isikhashana. Hhayi-ke, akukaze kuphumule konke lokho, uma ngikhuluma iqiniso! Lesi yisikhathi sonyaka lapho izidingo epulazini ngesikhathi sotshani zisebenza ubusuku nemini. Yize kunjalo, ukuhlala ngogandaganda kunikeza umuntu umusa wokucabanga okuningi nokukhuleka.

LOKHO AKUBUZAYO

Ngifinyelele esiphethweni esisodwa esisodwa ngalesi sikhathi. Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi nginguye ukulalela kuJesu. Noma ngabe kuyashisa noma kuyabanda, lina noma libalele, kumnandi noma kungakhululeki, ngibizelwe ukuthobela intando kaNkulunkulu konke izinto. UJesu washo into elula kangangoba mhlawumbe siyiphuthelwa kalula:

Uma ungithanda, gcina imiyalo yami. (Johane 14:15)

Uthando lukaNkulunkulu ukugcina imiyalo Yakhe. Siphila ezweni namuhla elibonakala lisilinga futhi lisigcona ngazo zonke izikhathi zosuku. Kepha nakulokhu, kufanele sihlale sithembekile. Ngoba futhi sinamathuluzi ezandleni zethu amaKristu amaningi esikhathini esedlule ayengenawo: ibhayibheli langempela eliphrintiwe, amabutho ezincwadi, izimfundiso ezingokomoya kuma-CD nakumavidiyo, iziteshi zomsakazo ezingamahora angama-24 neziteshi zethelevishini ezisakaza ugqozi neqiniso, njll. Sinezikhali yempi ngezeluleko zethu zeminwe, kungasaphathwa iminyaka eyi-2000 yemfundiso yenkolo eye yavela kangangokuba sinokuqonda okujule kakhulu kokukholwa kwethu ukudlula ngisho nabaPhostoli. Okubaluleke kakhulu, siba neMisa nsuku zonke nokuvuma masonto onke ezandleni zethu. Sinakho konke esikudingayo ukulwa nomoya wokuphikisana noKristu ezikhathini zethu, ikakhulukazi, uZiqu-zintathu ohlala kuye.

Into ebaluleke kakhulu kimi nawe khona manje akukhona ukuqonda “izikhathi zokuphela” noma ukubambisisa abaxolayo noma nokuba matasa enkonzweni… kepha ukuthembeka kuJesu, njengamanje, kulo mzuzu, noma ukuphi. Uthembekile ngomlomo wakho, amehlo akho, izandla zakho, izinzwa zakho…. ngomzimba wakho wonke, umphefumulo, umoya namandla.

Empeleni, ubungcwele bunento eyodwa kuphela: ukwethembeka okuphelele entandweni kaNkulunkulu…. Ufuna izindlela eziyimfihlo zokukaNkulunkulu, kodwa yinye kuphela: ukusebenzisa noma yini akunikeza yona…. Isisekelo esikhulu futhi esiqinile sempilo yokomoya ukunikela kwethu ngokwethu kuNkulunkulu nokuba ngaphansi kwentando Yakhe ezintweni zonke…. UNkulunkulu usisiza ngokweqiniso noma singazizwa kanjani ukuthi asisasisekeli. —Fr. UJean-Pierre de Caussade, Ukulahla Ukuhlinzekwa NguNkulunkulu

Ngesonto eledlule, ngikhulume nomqondisi wami ongokomoya. Kwakuyisikhathi esigcwele umusa lapho imisindo yasebusuku ibaleka futhi isandla sikaJesu sifinyelela kwalasha futhi sangidonsela ezinyaweni zami. Umqondisi wami uthe, “Kunamazwi amaningi namuhla ahlambalaza uNkulunkulu. Kufanele ube njalo Akhe izwi limemeza ehlane… ”

Lawo mazwi aqinisekisa emphefumulweni wami engizizwa ngizalelwe khona: ukuba yizwi Lakhe, ekhomba kuJesu “ukukhanya komhlaba” ebumnyameni obukhulayo.

Mina nomkami othandekayo uLea sathandaza ndawonye. Sibeke konke ezinyaweni zikaNkulunkulu. Sizoqhubeka nokuzinikela ekusakazeni iVangeli kuze kube sekusetshenzisweni isenti lokugcina lesikweletu. Yebo, kuzwakala kungenangqondo, kepha asinakho ukukhetha okuningi okwamanje — hhayi umndeni olingana nathi. Sijabulise ukuthengisa yonke into, kepha ingcebo iphezulu kakhulu manje eCanada, ukuthi izinketho zomndeni osayizi wethu azilutho (kade safuna izinyanga). Ngakho-ke, sizohlala lapho sikhona uNkulunkulu aze asikhombise ngenye indlela.

Imisebenzi yami epulazini isabucayi njengamanje. Kepha uma sekuphelile kamuva kuleli hlobo, ngifisa ukuqhubeka nokukubhalela futhi ngibuyisele i-webcast yami kokujwayelekile. Ngizothini? Vele, uNkulunkulu kuphela owaziyo. Kepha umqondo wami ojulile manje ukuthi ufuna ukukhuthaza nokusinika ithemba. Ufuna sigxile kuYe, hhayi kumagagasi ashayisa umkhumbi. Ngoba uyabona, abaningi bayabona ukuthi umkhumbi uyacwila futhi bona kukhona bafuna noma yisiphi isikebhe sokusindisa abangasithola. Nginomuzwa wokuthi umsebenzi wami kunanini ngaphambili-ke ukubakhombisa the Isikebhe sokuphila, onguJesu Kristu.

Yiqiniso, bafowethu nodadewethu, usuku luyeza — futhi ngezinye izindlela selufikile — lapho amazwi ka-Amose ezogcwaliseka khona:

“Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngiyakuthuma indlala ezweni; hhayi indlala yesinkwa, noma ukomela amanzi, kepha ukuzwa amazwi eNkosi. Bayakuzulazula kusukela elwandle kuze kube solwandle, kusukela enyakatho kuya empumalanga; bayogijimela ngapha nangapha, ukufuna izwi leNkosi, kepha abayikuthola. ” (Amose 8: 11-12)

Kepha kulabo abaphendula kuJesu nokunxusa kukaMama wakhe ngalesi sikhathi, bazokwenza hhayi kufanele useshe. Ngoba iZwi lizoba in nabo. UKristu uzohlala kubo njengo a ilangabi eliphilayo ngenkathi umhlaba ugubha ebumnyameni obukhulu. ^[1]funda Ikhandlela Elishunqayo Ngakho-ke ungesabi.
