Izimayini zeNkosi uSolomoni (ingxenye 18)
“Into ebengifuna ukuyenza yisono. Bengicabanga amagama amabi futhi bengifuna ukuwasho ... ”UBill Hybels wayekhathele futhi ecasukile. Lo mholi ongumKristu odumile ubenezindiza ezimbili ezibambezelekile ohambweni lwakhe olusuka eChicago oluya eLos Angeles futhi wahlala emzileni wokuhamba esikhumulweni sezindiza ngendiza egcwele amahora ayisithupha wabe esesula indiza yakhe yokuxhuma. Ekugcineni ukwazile ukugibela ebhanoyini wawela esihlalweni sakhe.Imithwalo yakhe yesandla ibisemathangeni akhe ngoba bekungekho sikhala kuleli khabhathi noma ngaphansi kwezihlalo. Lapho indiza iqala ukuhamba kancane, wabona owesifazane ejaha emnyango wawela ephaseji. Wayephethe izikhwama eziningana ezazindiza yonke indawo, kodwa lokho kwakuyizinkinga zakhe ezimbalwa. Okwenze isimo sakhe saba sibi kakhulu ukuthi elinye iso "belivuvukele livaliwe" futhi bekubonakala sengathi akazikwazi ukufunda izinombolo zezihlalo ngelinye iso. Abasebenza endizeni bebengabonakali. Ngenkathi esagwebu intukuthelo futhi ematasa ezihawukela, uHybels wezwa uNkulunkulu ehlebela indlebe yakhe: “Bill, ngiyazi ukuthi lolu bekungelona olunye lwezinsuku ezinhle kuwe. Uphuthelwe yizindiza walinda, wama kolayini futhi wakuzonda. Kepha manje unethuba lokuthi usuku luzobangcono ngokusukuma ubonise umusa kulo wesifazane ophelelwe yithemba. Ngeke ngikuphoqe ukuthi ukwenze, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi uzomangala lapho usuwenza. "
Ingxenye yami ibifuna ukuthi, “Impela ngeke! Angizizwa ngiyithanda njengamanje. ”Kodwa elinye izwi lathi,“ Mhlawumbe imizwa yami ayihlangene ngalutho nayo. Mhlawumbe kufanele ngikwenze nje. ”Ngakho wasukuma, wehla ngehholo wabuza le ntokazi ukuthi ingayisiza yini ukuthi ithole isihlalo sayo. Ngesikhathi ethola ukuthi ukhuluma isiNgisi esaphukile kuphela, wathatha izikhwama zakhe ezazwile phansi, wamholela esihlalweni sakhe, wafaka imithwalo yakhe, wakhumula ibhantshi lakhe wenza isiqiniseko sokuthi liyabhincwa. Ngemuva kwalokho wabuyela esihlalweni sakhe.
“Ngingakwazi yini ukudideka okwesikhashana?” Uyabhala. “Lapho ngiphinde ngihlala phansi esihlalweni sami, kwafika igagasi lemfudumalo nentokozo kimi. Ukukhungatheka nokushuba okwakungihlalele usuku lonke kwaqala ukushabalala. Ngezwa imvula yasehlobo efudumele igeza emphefumulweni wami owubhuqu. Ngokokuqala ngqá ngemva kwamahora angu-18, ngazizwa ngiphilile.” IzAga 11,25 (EBF) kuyiqiniso: "Labo abathanda ukwenza okuhle bayokwaneliseka ngokucebile, nalabo abaniselayo (abanye) nabo bayophuziswa ngokwabo."
INkosi uSolomoni yawaboleka la mazwi esithombeni kwezolimo futhi ngokwezwi nezwi kusho ukuthi noma ngubani onisela, naye kufanele aniselwe. Wayecabanga ukuthi lokhu kungaba umkhuba ojwayelekile womlimi ngenkathi ebhala la mazwi. Ngenkathi yezimvula, lapho imifula iwela, abanye abalimi amasimu abo aseduze kosebe lomfula badonsela amanzi emadamini amakhulu. Bese kuthi ngesikhathi sesomiso, umlimi ongenabugovu asize omakhelwane bakhe abangenayo indawo yokugcina amanzi. Ube esevula ngokucophelela izingidi bese ehola amanzi anikeza impilo angene emasimini omakhelwane. Lapho kufika esinye isomiso, umlimi ongenabugovu unamanzi amancane noma akanawo.Abalimi abangomakhelwane abazakhele idamu okwamanje bazomvuza ngomusa wakhe ngokunika amasimu akhe amanzi.
Akukhona ngokunikeza okuthile ukuze uthole okuthile
Akukhona mayelana nokunikela ngama-euro ayi-100 ukuze uNkulunkulu abuyisele inani elifanayo noma ngaphezulu. Lesi sisho asichazi ukuthi abaphanayo batholani (hhayi ngokwezimali noma ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo), kodwa kunalokho bathola okuthile okujule kakhulu kunenjabulo engokwenyama. USolomoni uthi: “Labo abathanda ukwenza okuhle bayokwaneliseka.” Igama lesiHeberu elisho “ukusutha / ukuqabuleka / ukuchuma” alisho ukwanda kwemali noma impahla, kodwa lisho ukuchuma emoyeni, olwazini nasemizweni.
In 1. Emakhosini sifunda indaba yomprofethi u-Eliya nomfelokazi. U-Eliya ucasha inkosi embi u-Ahabi futhi uNkulunkulu umyala ukuba aye emzini waseZarpati. “Ngayala umfelokazi lapho ukuba akunakekele,” kusho uNkulunkulu kuye. Lapho u-Eliya efika edolobheni, uthola umfelokazi etheza izinkuni futhi ucela isinkwa namanzi kuye. Wathi: “Kuphila kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, anginalutho olubhakiweyo, ngaphandle kwempuphu egcwele isandla ekhanzini namafutha amancane embizeni. Bheka, ngicoshe ugodo noma ezimbili, ngiya ekhaya futhi ngifuna ukuzilungisela mina nendodana yami ukuba sidle, sife.”1. Amakhosi 17,912).
Mhlawumbe impilo isibe nzima kakhulu kumfelokazi futhi useyekile. Kwakungenakwenzeka ngokomzimba wakhe ukondla abantu ababili, ingasaphathwa eyabathathu, nokuncane ayenakho.
Kepha umbhalo uyaqhubeka:
“U-Eliya wathi kuye: “Ungesabi! Hamba wenze njengoba ushilo. Kodwa qala ungenzele okubhakiweyo, ukulethe kimi; kepha wena nendodana yakho nizakubhaka kamuva. Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Impuphu esekhanzini ayiyikudliwa, nembiza yamafutha ayiyikuswela, kuphela usuku uJehova ayakunisa ngalo emhlabeni. Wahamba wenza njengokusho kuka-Eliya. Wadla, naye, nendodana yakhe, imihla ngemihla. Impuphu eyayisekhanzini ayizange iphele, nembiza yamafutha ayizange intule njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma ngo-Eliya.”1. Amakhosi 17,13+ 16 Ekuseni nakusihlwa, usuku nosuku, umfelokazi wathola ufulawa embizeni yakhe namafutha embizeni yakhe. izimangalo 11,17 ithi "Umusa wondla umphefumulo wakho" ( New Life. The Bible). “Umphefumulo” wakhe wawondliwa kuphela, kodwa impilo yakhe yonke. Wanikela ngokuncane kwakhe, futhi okuncane kwakhe kwandiswa.
Uma kwenzeka singasiqondisanga isifundo, emavesini ambalwa kamuva athi:
“Othile unikeza okuningi futhi uhlale unokuningi; omunye umncane lapho kungafanele khona, kodwa nokho uba mpofu kakhulu ” (IzAga 11,24). INkosi yethu uJesu yayazi ngalokhu lapho ithi: “Yiphani, khona niyophiwa. Emathangeni enu kuyakunikwa isilinganiso esigcwele, esigxishiwe, esinyakaziswayo nesichichimayo; ngoba ngesilinganiso enilinganisa ngaso nani niyakulinganiselwa ngaso.” (Luka 6,38) Funda futhi izikhathi ku 2. AbaseKorinte 9,6-15!
