UMoya oNgcwele: Isipho!

UMoya oNgcwele cishe uyilungu elingaqondwa kakhulu likaNkulunkulu Oziqu Mthathu. Kukhona zonke izinhlobo zemibono ngaye, futhi ngangivame ukuba neminye yaleyo mibono futhi ngikholwa ukuthi akayena uNkulunkulu, kodwa isandiso samandla kaNkulunkulu. Njengoba ngiqala ukufunda okwengeziwe ngobunjalo bukaNkulunkulu njengoZiqu-zintathu, amehlo ami avuleka ukuze ngibone ukuhlukahluka okungaqondakali kukaNkulunkulu. Useyimpicabadala kimi, kodwa eTestamenteni Elisha sinikwa imikhondo eminingi mayelana nobunjalo bakhe nobuyena okufanele sifundwe.

Imibuzo engizibuza yona ithi, ubani futhi uyini uMoya oNgcwele kimina uqobo futhi usho ukuthini kimina? Ubudlelwano bami noNkulunkulu buhlanganisa nokuthi ngibe nobudlelwane obuseduze noMoya oNgcwele. Ungikhomba eqinisweni - iqiniso nguJesu Kristu uqobo. Wathi: «Mina ngiyindlela neqiniso nokuphila; akekho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuba eze ngami” (Johane 14,6).

Kuhle lokho, unguMsindisi wethu, uMsindisi, uMhlengi kanye nempilo yethu. UMoya oNgcwele yiwo ongiqondanisa noJesu ukuze ngithathe indawo yokuqala enhliziyweni yami. Ugcina unembeza wami uphapheme futhi angazisa lapho ngenza noma ngisho okuthile okungalungile. Ungukukhanya okukhanyisayo endleleni yami yokuphila. Sengiqalile nokumbona “njengombhali wemimoya,” ugqozi lwami, kanye nomnyuziyamu wami. Akadingi ukunakwa okukhethekile. Lapho ngithandaza kunoma yiliphi ilungu likaNkulunkulu onguziqu-zintathu, ngithandaza kubo bonke ngokulinganayo, ngoba bonke bamunye. Wayezophenduka anikeze uBaba lonke udumo nokunaka esimnika kona.

Yaqala kanjalo-ke inkathi entsha lapho uNkulunkulu esinikeza khona indlela entsha yokuxhumana Naye nokuphila ebuhlotsheni obuphilayo. Abantu ababelalele uPetru ngePhentekoste bashukunyiswa amazwi akhe futhi babuza ukuthi yini ababengayenza? UPetru uyabaphendula: “Phendukani manje nibhapathizwe kuJesu Kristu; malibizwe igama lakhe phezu kwenu futhi nivume kuye - yilowo nalowo kubantu! Khona-ke uNkulunkulu uyonithethelela izono zenu futhi aninike uMoya wakhe oNgcwele.” (IzE 2,38 IBhayibheli Lezindaba Ezinhle). Noma ubani ophendukela kuNkulunkulu wobuthathu futhi azithobe kuye, ebeka ukuphila kwakhe kuye, akami endaweni elahlekile, kodwa wemukela uMoya oNgcwele, uba umKristu, okungukuthi umlandeli, umfundi kaJesu Kristu.

Kuyinto emangalisayo ukuthi sithole isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele. UMoya oNgcwele ungummeleli kaJesu ongabonakali emhlabeni. Kusasebenza okufanayo kuze kube namuhla. Ungumuntu wesithathu kaZiqu-zintathu ukuba abe khona ekudalweni. Uqeda isidlo saphezulu futhi uyisibusiso kithi. Izipho eziningi zilahlekelwa ukucwebezela kwazo noma zisheshe ziyekelwe okuthile okungcono, kodwa Yena, uMoya oNgcwele, uyisipho esingayeki ukuba yisibusiso. Nguye owathunywa nguJesu ngemva kokufa kwakhe ukuba azoduduza, asifundise, asiqondise futhi asikhumbuze ngakho konke akwenzile nasazokwenza nalokho uJesu asibekela kona. Kuqinisa ukholo, kunikeze ithemba, isibindi nokuthula. Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukuthola isipho esinjalo. Kwangathi wena, mfundi othandekayo, ungalokothi ulahlekelwe ukumangala kwakho nokwesaba oyikho futhi ubusiswa njalo ngoMoya oNgcwele.
