OKUFIHLIWE kubonakala ezindlebeni zomhlaba ukukhala okuhlangene engikuzwayo kuMzimba kaKristu, ukukhala okufinyelela emazulwini: “Baba, uma kungenzeka, susa le ndebe kimi!”Izincwadi engizitholayo zikhuluma ngosizi olukhulu lomndeni nolwezimali, ukuphelelwa ukuphepha nokukhathazeka okwandayo Isiphepho Esiphelele lokho kuvele emkhathizwe. Kepha njengoba umqondisi wami wezomoya esho njalo, "sisekhempini yebhuthi," siqeqeshelwa lesi sikhathi samanje futhi siza "ukubhekana kokugcina”ISonto elibhekene nalo, njengoba uJohn Paul II akubeka. Okubonakala kungukuphikisana, ubunzima obungapheli, kanye nomuzwa wokushiya uMoya kaJesu usebenza ngesandla esiqinile sikaMama kaNkulunkulu, wenza amabutho akhe futhi awalungiselela impi yezikhathi.

Namathela kuye, ungamshiyi; ngaleyo ndlela ikusasa lakho liyoba likhulu. Yamukela noma yini ekuvelelayo, ekuchobozeni amashwa bekezela; ngoba kuvivinywa igolide ngomlilo, futhi amadoda afanelekile ekubetheni okuthobekile. (USiraki 2: 1-5)
NGIFUNA UKUTHULA
Ngizithole sengikhalela ukuthula muva nje. Muva nje kubonakala sengathi akukho ukuphefumula phakathi kwesilingo esilandelayo, phakathi kwenhlekelele elandelayo noma enkulu elandelayo, ithuba elilandelayo "lokuhlupheka." Ngabe sengizwa umvumisi wami ethi, “Ukuthula kuphambi kukaKristu…” Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakungasenguye umpristi okhulumayo, kepha uJesu kuye. Ngezwa enhliziyweni yami amazwi athi,
Ukuthula akukhona ukungabikho kwengxabano, kodwa eBukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu.
Ngesikhathi uJesu ebethelwa esiphambanweni, kwaba njalo iSikhulu Sokuthula lapho esiphambanweni — Ukuthula okwenziwe isimo somuntu kubethelwe okhunini. Kanjalo futhi nesilingo samemeza kulabo ababeme lapho sathi, “Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ngempela, yehla esiphambanweni sakho!” Yebo, ziningi ezinye izinto ongazenza ngaphandle kwalokhu kuhlupheka…. kuningi okungenziwa uma ungenaso isiphambano… ngaphandle kwalo lonke lolu dlame, cabanga ngamathuba! Bese kufika ummangaleli: “Uma ungumKristu ngempela futhi ungumuntu ongcwele, ubungeke uhlupheke kanjena: ukuhlupheka kwakho kungumphumela wakho Isono, kuyisijeziso sikaNkulunkulu. ” Futhi ngaphambi kokuthi wazi, ukugxila kwakho akusekho ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezipikili, ameva, inkemba kanye nehisope elibabayo lokungabi nabulungisa okuphakanyiswe ezindebeni zakho.
Leso yisilingo khona lapho: ukugxila ekuhluphekeni, hhayi ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu othembise ukuthi akasoze akushiya futhi angakulingi ngaphezu kwamandla akho. Kungani silinganisa ukuhlupheka nokushiywa? Sithi: “UNkulunkulu ungilahlile. Ngempela, uMama Teresa wakhala,
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
Ngisho noJesu wakhala:
Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungishiyeleni? (Marku 15:34)
Kodwa iNkosi yethu yaqhubeka yathi, “Nginikela umoya wakho ezandleni zakho.”Ubengakusho kanjani lokhu uma uBaba ebengeke awamukele uMoya Wakhe ezandleni Zakhe ezinothando? UJesu wagxila kulowo mzuzu ubukhona bukaYise, noma ubumnyama besono somhlaba babuphezu Kwakhe. UJesu wadlulela ovukweni ngokuqondile ngokwala isilingo sokubalekela ukuhlupheka Kwakhe, nokuzilahla kulowo mzuzu entandweni kaNkulunkulu, ezinikele ezandleni zikaYise. Kanjalo futhi, asimbonanga uMama Teresa elahla umkhuba wakhe futhi aqala ukungakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu. Esikhundleni salokho, wanikela konke kuNkulunkulu, ekwenzeni intando yaKhe-imbewu yesinaphi yokholo eyayihambisa izintaba ezinhle kakhulu. Uvuko lwathululwa emphefumulweni wakhe lapho, ngokombono wakhe, elele engaphili ethuneni lezinzwa zakhe.
UKUHLALA ESIPHAMBANWENI
Baningi ababukeleyo abavukile namhlanje ukumemeza ezindlebeni zakho, "Thatha izinto ezandleni zakho!" “Ungalindeli uNkulunkulu — yenza okuthile!” "Yehla esiphambanweni sakho!”Baningi abaprofethi bamanga ababengashintsha iqiniso elisemqoka leVangeli ngenduduzo, ubuchwepheshe, izimonyo, ukuhlinza, izithako, ama-microchip ... noma yini abayilungiselele ukuqeda ukuhlupheka nokwelula impilo yakho. Kuyinto enhle, a kuyadingeka into okufanele isebenzele ukuqeda ukuhlupheka kokungabi nabulungisa nomaphi lapho izinzipho ezimbi zibambe khona. Kepha kuze kube yilapho umlilo ugoqa amaZulu amasha noMhlaba oMusha, ukuhlupheka kusalokhu kungumbumbulu wokuchoboza ukuvukela ezinhliziyweni zethu nokusicwengisisa sibe ngumfanekiso kaKristu. UJesu akazange akhethe ukuhlupheka njengendlela eya ezulwini. UNkulunkulu usevele wakhetha lapho edala insimu yase-Edene. Cha, ukuhlupheka kwakungu- ukukhetha komuntu, umphumela wesono sokuqala. Ngakho-ke iNkosi, isebenza ngaphakathi kwemikhawulo ebucayi yenkululeko yabantu kanye nenkululeko yokuzikhethela yaguqula “ukukhetha” kwethu kwaba yindlela. Leyo ndlela yiNdlela Yesiphambano.
… Umbuso wezulu uhlushwa udlame, futhi abanodlame bawuthatha ngenkani. (Math 11:12)
Lokho kusho ukuthi ngeke singene ebunyeni noNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokulahla ubuntu obudala nemikhuba yabo, ngaphandle kokulwa nenyama, izinkanuko zayo, nezilingo ezindiza kithi zisuka emhlabeni nezingelosi eziwile… ngaphandle ukuphuza enkomishini efanayo lokho kwakubanjwe ezindebeni zikaKristu eNsimini yaseGetsemane.
Kuyadingeka kithi ukuthi sibhekane nobunzima obuningi ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu. (IzEnzo 14:22)
Kuyindlela encane, hhayi ebanzi futhi elula. Futhi-ke kufanele simelane nalesi silingo sokwehla esiphambanweni-noma ngabe kuyini. Futhi ngisho lokhu ngoba konke kuhlobene. Musa ukukala ukuhlupheka kwakho ngokumelene nabanye. Uma umnwabu ekulinga ukuthi ulahlekelwe ukubekezela, isisa, kanye nekhono lokwenza intando kaNkulunkulu, lokho kuyisiphambano esibi! Ngokunjalo, ngezimo zezezimali, ubudlelwano obuhloliwe, nanoma yini enye edala ukukhathazeka, zivunyelwe ngentando kaNkulunkulu, noma "yakhelwe" umuntu angasho, ukuletha ukuhlanzeka emiphefumulweni yethu nokusenza sikwazi ukujoyina izinhlupheko zethu kuKristu ngenxa abanye.
UKUTHULA… IGCWELE ELIFIHLEKILE
Futhi-ke, ukuthula akukhona ukungabi khona kwesiphambano; ukuthula kweqiniso kutholakala ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, intando kaNkulunkulu, ehlanganisiwe. Lapho uthola intando kaNkulunkulu, uzothola ubukhona Bakhe, ngoba ukuyo yonke indawo uhlelo Lwakhe lwenzeka (umuntu ukubeka kanjani lokhu ngamazwi?) Noma ukuhlupheka kwethu kungumphumela wesono sethu, singaphendukela kuNkulunkulu bese sithi, “ Nkosi, ngizenzele isiphambano sami namuhla. ” Uzothi, “Yebo, ngane yami. Kepha ngiyakuxolela. Futhi manje, ngihlanganisa isiphambano sakho kwesami, futhi ukuhlupheka okubekezelela wena manje kwenziwa ngcwele futhi kuzokuvuselwa ukusebenzele okuhle (Rom 8:28). ”
Ngakho-ke phakathi kokuhlupheka kwakho namuhla lapho ukhala uthi, “Nkosi, susa le ndebe kimi…,” bhekisa amehlo akho ubheke Ebukhoneni Bakhe — obungasoze bukushiye — bese uthi, “… kodwa hhayi intando yami kepha eyakho kwenziwe. ” Kulowo mzuzu kuza umusa namandla ozowadinga, lokho kuthula okudlula konke ukuqonda. Umbhalo uthi,
UNkulunkulu uthembekile futhi ngeke akuvumele ukuba ulingwe ngaphezu kwamandla akho; kodwa ngokulingwa uzophinde anikeze indlela yokuphuma, ukuze nikwazi ukukuthwala. (1 Kor 10:13)
USt Paul akasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzolisusa icala, kepha asinike umusa ibhere it. Uyakukholwa lokhu? Yilapho irabha lihlangana khona nomgwaqo, lapho ukukholwa kwakho kungaba ngukucabanga noma kungokoqobo. Umusa azowuthumela uzofika, empandeni yawo, njengo ukuthula. Kungenzeka kungasusi izipikili ezandleni zakho noma ameva engqondweni yakho; kungenzeka kungavimbeli isiswebhu noma kukuvikele ematheni… cha, lokhu kusala ukukuletha ovukweni olusha, ukuvuka okusha kukaKristu ngaphakathi kwakho. Kunalokho, ukuthula okuphuma kulowo mzuzu uthando. Ngoba lapho uzinikela entandweni kaNkulunkulu, kunzima, kunzima, nokudideka, ngokuphelele futhi kubukeka kungalungile ... lokho kuyisenzo sothando esinyakazisa amazulu futhi senza ukuthi izingelosi zikhothamise amakhanda azo. Kuleso senzo sothando kuphuma lokho Ukuthula- okungamaphiko othando — okwenza ukuthi ukwazi “thwala zonke izinto, kholwa yizo zonke izinto, uthembe zonke izinto, futhi ubekezelele zonke izinto”(1 Kor 13: 7).
Ukuthula akuzange kwehle esiphambanweni, kepha esikhundleni salokho, welula izingalo zakhe njengamaphiko phezu komhlaba, futhi ku-fiat yakhe, wehlisela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Hamba wenze okufanayo. Yelula izingalo zakho namuhla esiphambanweni ukuze uMoya kaJesu ugeleze kuwe, ulethe uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zalawo madoda nabesifazane abaphakathi kwakho abalangazelela isibonakaliso sothando nokwethembeka neqiniso.

Nina enimesabayo uJehova, thembelani kuye, futhi umvuzo wenu awuyikulahleka. Nina enimesabayo uJehova, lindelani okuhle, ukuze nibe nokujabula nomusa waphakade (USiraki 2: 6-9)
