AS Bengithandaza ngaphambi kweSakramente Elingcwele kule mpelasonto edlule, ngizwe usizi olukhulu lweNkosi Yethu— ekhala, kwakubonakala sengathi isintu silunqabile uthando Lwakhe. Ehoreni elilandelayo, sakhala ndawonye… mina, ngimncenga kakhulu ukuthi angithethelele ngokwehluleka kwami kanye nokuhlangana kwethu ukumthanda Yena… futhi Yena, ngoba isintu manje sesikhululele isiphepho esizenzele sona.
Lapho behlwanyela umoya, bazovuna isivunguvungu. (Hos. 8: 7)
Ngosuku olulandelayo, lo mlayezo weza kimi, esiwuthumele ku-Countdown:
Thina - iNdodana yami kanye nalo Mama - sikhala ngokuhlupheka kwalabo ababhekene nakho okuzosabalalisa umhlaba wonke. Bantu beNdodana yami, ningahlehli; nikela ngakho konke ongakufinyelela kuso sonke isintu. -Inkosikazi yethu kuLuz de Maria, NgoFebhuwari 24, 2022
Ekupheleni kwaleso sikhathi somkhuleko, ngezwa iNkosi Yethu icela mina, kanye nathi, ukuba senze imihlatshelo ekhethekile ngalesi sikhathi ngenxa yezwe. Ngelula isandla ngathatha iBhayibheli lami, ngalivula lesi siqephu...
Ukuvuka kukaJona
Manje izwi likaJehova lafika kuJona ... “Suka, uye eNineve, umuzi omkhulu, umemeze ngawo; ngokuba ububi babo bukhuphukele phambi kwami. Kepha uJona wasuka ukuba abalekele eTharishishi ephuma ebusweni bukaJehova...
Kepha uJehova waphonsa umoya omkhulu phezu kolwandle, kwaba khona isiphepho esikhulu elwandle, umkhumbi wawusufuna ukuphuka. Amatilosi esaba, akhala, kwaba yilowo nalowo kunkulunkulu wakhe; baphonsa olwandle impahla eyayisemkhunjini, ukuze ube lula kubo. Kodwa uJona wayehlele engxenyeni engaphakathi yomkhumbi, walala phansi, wazumeka ubuthongo. (UJona Ch. 1)
Akumangalisi okwenziwa amatilosi angamaqaba emkhunjini osizini lwawo: aphendukela konkulunkulu bamanga, alahla okubalulekile ukuze “anciphise” umthwalo wawo. Kanjalo, futhi, kulezi zinsuku zokucindezeleka, abaningi baye baphendukela konkulunkulu bamanga ukuze bathole induduzo, ukuze behlise ukwesaba kwabo futhi badambise ukukhathazeka kwabo—ukuze ‘behlise umthwalo. Kodwa uJona? Wavele wakhipha izwi leNkosi wazumeka njengoba isivunguvungu siqala ukuvunguza.
Ubuthongo bethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu busenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi… a ubulukhuni obuthile bomphefumulo emandleni obubi… Tyena ubuthongo' okwethu, thina esingafuni ukubona amandla obubi aphelele futhi singafuni ukungena emshindweni wakhe.. ” —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience
“Intshiseko” uJesu ayicela kuqala Ibhubesi Lwethu Elimncane kungumhlatshelo wokulalela.[1]“Ukulalela kungcono kunomhlatshelo.”—1 Sam. 15:22. “Ongithandayo uyogcina izwi lami,” kusho uJesu.[2]John 14: 23 Kodwa nakakhulu, kuwukwenza umhlatshelo wezinto, ngokwazo, ezingezimbi, kodwa esingahlala sinamathele kuzo. Yilokhu okushiwo ukuzila ukudla: ukulahla okuhle ukuze uthole okuhle okuphezulu. Okuhle kakhulu uNkulunkulu akucelayo njengamanje, ngokwengxenye, okokusindiswa kwemiphefumulo esonqenqemeni lokulahleka phakade ngokuphazima kweso. Siyacelwa ukuba sibe “yimiphefumulo eyisisulu” - njengoJona:
…UJona wathi kubo, “Ngiphakamiseni, ningiphonse olwandle; khona ulwandle luyakunithulela; ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi kungenxa yami ukuthi lesi siphepho esikhulu sibe phezu kwenu. …Base bemfunqula uJona, bamphonsa olwandle; ulwandle lwathula ekufuthekeni kwalo. Khona-ke abantu bamesaba kakhulu uJehova... (Ibid.)
I-Fiat kaJona
Namuhla, iSiphepho Esikhulu sesiqalile ukudlula emhlabeni wonke njengoba sibuka ngokoqobo “izimpawu” zesAmbulo zembuleka phambi kwamehlo ethu.[3]qhathanisa Kuyenzeka Ukuze silethe “ukuthula” phezu kolwandle, iNkosi isicela ukuthi silahle unkulunkulu wenduduzo futhi sibe abalingiswa abaphambili empini kamoya eqhutshwa eduze kwethu.
Ngenkathi ngicabanga ngalokho iNkosi eyayikucela kimi mathupha, ngaphikisa ekuqaleni: “Awu Nkosi, ungicela ukuba ngizenzele udlame!”
Yebo, ngokunembile.
Kusukela emihleni kaJohane uMbhapathizi kuze kube manje umbuso wezulu uyafuzulwa, nabafuzulayo bayawuthatha. ( Mathewu 11:12 )
Kuwudlame olubhekiswe kimi intando yomuntu ukuze iNtando yobuNkulunkulu ibuse kimi. UJesu wathi encekwini kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta:
Bonke ububi kumuntu ukuthi ulahlekelwe inzalo yeNtando yami; ngakho-ke akenzi lutho ngaphandle kokuzimboza ngamacala amakhulu kakhulu, amehlisa isithunzi futhi amenze enze okohlanya. O, maningi kangakanani ubuwula asebezowenza!... abantu sebezofinyelela ukweqisa kobubi futhi abawufanele umusa ogeleza phezu kwabo lapho ngifika futhi ngikuvumele ukuba uhlanganyele ebuhlungwini bami, bona ngokwabo ababuzwisa Mina. Kufanele nazi ukuthi abaholi bezizwe benza itulo ndawonye ukuze babhubhise abantu futhi bacebe iBandla lami izinkinga; futhi ukuze bathole inhloso, bafuna ukusebenzisa usizo lwamazwe angaphandle. Iphuzu lapho umhlaba uzithola ukulo libi kakhulu; ngakho-ke khuleka futhi ubekezele. —September 24, 27, 1922; Volume 14
Kungokwemvelo ukuba simelane naleli gama futhi size sidabuke—njengendoda ecebile yeVangeli eyacelwa ukuba ithengise impahla yayo. Kodwa eqinisweni, ngemva kokunikela kwami fiat eNkosini futhi, ngezwa ngokoqobo ulwandle lwezinkanuko zami luqala ukuzola futhi kuphakama amandla amasha kimi ayengekho ngaphambili.
Umsebenzi kaJona
Ngakho futhi, kunenhloso ekabili kulokhu “yebo” yokuba umphefumulo omncane oyisisulu sikaJesu (ngithi “kancane” ngoba angibhekiseli ekuhlangenwe nakho okungaqondakali noma ukucwaswa, njll.). Okokuqala nje, kuwukunikela ngomhlatshelo wethu ukuze kuguqulwe imiphefumulo. Abaningi namuhla abakulungele ukubhekana nesahlulelo sabo, futhi sidinga ukubakhulumela ngokushesha.
Izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zomhlaba zilahlekile kanti enye ingxenye kufanele ikhuleke futhi ibuyisele iNkosi ukuze izwele. UDeveli ufuna ukubusa okuphelele emhlabeni. Ufuna ukubhubhisa. Umhlaba usengozini enkulu… Ngalezi zikhathi sonke isintu silenga ngentambo. Uma intambo inqamuka, abaningi kuzoba yilabo abangayifinyeleli insindiso… Shesha ngoba isikhathi sihamba; ngeke ibe khona indawo yalabo abaphuza ukufika!… Isikhali esinethonya elikhulu kokubi ukusho iRosari… -Umama wethu kuGladys Herminia Quiroga wase-Argentina, uvunywe ngoMeyi 22, 2016 nguMbhishobhi Hector Sabatino Cardelli
Njengoba nje isiphepho sazola lapho uJona ezinikela njengomhlatshelo, ngokufanayo, umhlatshelo wensali ubalulekile ‘ekuzoleni’ kwesithupha nokwesithupha.

Usuku Lobulungiswa.

Bonke bayamenywa ukuba bajoyine iqembu lami elikhethekile lokulwa. Ukuza koMbuso wami kumele kube ukuphela kwenjongo yakho empilweni. Amagama Ami azofinyelela inqwaba yemiphefumulo. Themba! Ngizonisiza nonke ngendlela eyisimangaliso. Ungayithandi induduzo. Ungabi ngamagwala. Ungalindi. Bhekana neSiphepho ukusindisa imiphefumulo. Zinikele emsebenzini. Uma ungenzi lutho, ushiya umhlaba kuSathane futhi wona. Vula amehlo akho ubone zonke izingozi ezithi ziyizisulu futhi zisongele imiphefumulo yakho. —UJesu ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann, Ilangabi Lothando, pg. 34, ekhishwe yi-Children of the Father Foundation; Imprimatur UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles Chaput
Zinike isikhathi kulo mlindelo weLente uzibuze umbuzo othi: iyiphi intokozo enkulu empilweni yami esesiphenduke isithixo? Imuphi unkulunkulu omncane engifinyelela kuye ezivunguvungwini zansuku zonke zokuphila kwami? Mhlawumbe leyo yindawo ekahle yokuqala - ukuthatha leso sithombe, bese usiphonsa emanzini. Ekuqaleni, ungase uzwe ukwesaba, ukudabuka, kanye nokuzisola njengoba ungena ethuneni ukuze ukhishwe intando yakho yomuntu. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ngeke akulahlekise ngalesi senzo sobuqhawe. NjengoJona, uzothumela uMsizi ukuba akuthwale akuyise ogwini lwenkululeko lapho umsebenzi wakho uzoqhubeka khona, uhlangene nokaKristu, ukuze kusindiswe umhlaba.
UJehova wathuma inhlanzi enkulu ukuba imginye uJona, wayesehlala esiswini senhlanzi izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu. UJona wakhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe esesiswini senhlanzi.
Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza uJehova, wangiphendula...
Lapho ngiquleka, Ngamkhumbula uJehova;
umkhuleko wami wafika kuwe ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
Labo abakhonza izithombe eziyize bayalilahla ithemba labo lesihe.
Kepha mina ngiyakuhlabela ngezwi lokubonga;
engikuthembisileyo ngiyakugcwalisa; ukukhululwa kuvela kuJehova.UJehova wayala inhlanzi ukuba ihlanze uJona emhlabathini owomileyo. (UJona Ch. 2)
Futhi ngalokho, uJona waphinda waba ithuluzi leNkosi. Ngeyakhe i-fiat, INineve laphenduka futhi lasindiswa...[7]cf. UJona Ch. 3
