Uhlamvu lwemali olulahlekile

EVangelini likaLuka sithola indaba lapho uJesu akhuluma khona ukuthi kunjani lapho umuntu efuna ngokulangazelela okuthile okulahlekile. Kuyindaba yohlamvu lwemali olulahlekile:
“Noma ake sithi owesifazane unezinhlamvu eziyishumi bese elahlekelwa elilodwa.” Udrakema wawuwuhlamvu lwemali lwamaGreki olucishe lulingane nenani likadenariyu wamaRoma, noma cishe amafranc angamashumi amabili. 'Ubengeke yini alumeke isibani aphendule indlu yonke aze asithole? Futhi uma engathola uhlamvu lwemali, wayengeke yini abize abangane bakhe nomakhelwane ukuze bajabule kanye naye ngokuthi ulutholile uhlamvu lwakhe lwemali olulahlekile? Kanjalo kukhona ukuthokoza phakathi kwezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu lapho isoni esisodwa siphenduka futhi siphenduka.” ( Luka 1 Kor.5,8-10 New Life Bible).

UJesu wafaka lo mzekeliso phakathi kwemifanekiso yezimvu ezilahlekile nendodana yolahleko. Imvu elahlekile kungenzeka iyazi ukuthi ilahlekile. Yodwa, akubonwa umalusi noma umhlambi. Indodana elahlekile yalahleka ngenhloso. Uhlamvu lwemali, into engaphili, alazi nakancane ukuthi lilahlekile. Ngingazama ukucabanga ukuthi abantu abaningi bangena esigabeni semali futhi abazi ukuthi balahlekile.
Owesifazane ulahlekelwe uhlamvu lwemali oluyigugu. Ukulahleka kwale mali kubuhlungu kakhulu kubo. Uphendulela yonke into ebheke phansi ukuze athole uhlamvu lwemali futhi.

Ngiyavuma ukuthi ngashiya ifoni yami kwenye indawo futhi bengingazi ukuthi ikuphi. Kulula ukuthola i-smartphone futhi. Ngokusobala kwakungelula kowesifazane osemfanekisweni kaJesu. Kwakufanele athole isibani esihle futhi enze ucwaningo olunzulu ngemali yakhe eyigugu elahlekile.

Njengoba owesifazane ekhanyisa ikhandlela lakhe ukuletha ukukhanya kuwo wonke amakhona omuzi wakhe, ngakho-ke ukukhanya kukaKristu kugcwele umhlaba wethu futhi kusithola noma ngabe sikuphi. Kukhombisa inhliziyo nothando nokunakekela uNkulunkulu anakho ngathi. Njengoba nje owesifazane afunisisa endlini yakhe, kanjalo uNkulunkulu uzosifuna futhi asithole.

Uhlangothi olulodwa lwemali ngayinye luvame ukuba nombono wenkosi leyo kukhishwa igama layo leyo mali. Sonke siyizinhlamvu zemali ezikhishwe ngumbuso kaNkulunkulu. UJesu iNkosi isithombe esitholakala ezinhlamvini zemali futhi singabakhe. UJesu wagcina etshela izixuku ngenjabulo yasezulwini lapho ngisho noyedwa umuntu ephendukela kuNkulunkulu.
Njengoba ibalulekile yonke imali eyodwa kubantu besifazane, ngamunye wethu ubaluleke kakhulu kuNkulunkulu. Uyajabula ngokubuyela kwethu kuye. Ukulandisa akukona nje mayelana nohlamvu lwemali. Umzekeliso uphathelene nawe uqobo! UNkulunkulu ukuthanda kakhulu futhi uzobona ngokushesha lapho usuka kuye. Ufuna ubusuku nemini uma kunesidingo futhi akayeki. Ufuna ngempela ukuthi ube naye. Owesifazane wajabula kakhulu lapho ethola imali yakhe. Kukhona injabulo enkulu kakhulu ngoNkulunkulu nezingelosi zakhe lapho uphendukela kuye nalapho evunyelwe ukuba abe ngumngani wakho.
