Izimayini zeNkosi uSolomoni (ingxenye 21)
"Ngizopaka imoto yami endaweni yakho," kusho uTom etshela umthengisi. “Uma emasontweni ayisishagalombili ngingabuyi, mhlawumbe ngeke ngisaphila.” Umthengisi wambuka engathi uyahlanya. "Amasonto ayisishiyagalombili? Ngeke usinde kulokho amasonto amabili!” UTom Brown jun. ungumhambi onothando. Umgomo wakhe kwakuwukubona ukuthi angahlala yini isikhathi eside kangako ogwadule lwaseDeath Valley - indawo ejulile neyome kunazo zonke eNyakatho Melika neshisa kakhulu emhlabeni. Kamuva wabhala ngendlela izimo zasogwadule ezazifuna okungaphezu kwalokho ayengakaze abhekane nakho ngaphambili. Kukho konke ukuphila kwakhe wayengakaze ome kanje. Umthombo wawo oyinhloko wamanzi okuphuza kwakungamazolo. Njalo ebusuku wabeka umshini wokubamba amazolo futhi ekuseni wayeseqongelele amanzi ahlanzekile anele ukuba awaphuze. Ngokushesha uTom walahlekelwa ama-bearings ekhalenda futhi ngemva kwamasonto ayisishiyagalolunye wanquma ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi sokubuyela ekhaya. Uyifezile inhloso yakhe, kodwa uyavuma ukuthi ngaphandle kokuba khona kukaTau ubengeke asinde.
Kukangaki ucabanga ngamazolo? Uma kufana nami, hhayi njalo - ngaphandle uma kufanele usule amazolo ewindini lakho lomoya ekuseni! Kodwa amazolo angaphezulu kwemvula emafasiteleni ezimoto zethu (noma into edala isiphithiphithi enkundleni yekhilikithi)! Ungumnikezeli wokuphila. Kuyaqabula, kucime ukoma futhi kuvuselele. Uphendula amasimu abe yimisebenzi yobuciko.
Ngangichitha izinsuku eziningi nomndeni wami epulazini ngesikhathi seholide lasehlobo. Sasivame ukuvuka ngovivi mina nobaba siyozingela. Angikaze ngikukhohlwe ukusha kwasekuseni lapho imisebe yokuqala yelanga yenza amathonsi amazolo ezihlahleni, utshani nezitshalo kubenyezela futhi kucwebezele njengamadayimane. Ubulembu bubukeka njengamaketanga obucwebe kanye nezimbali ezibunile zosuku lwangaphambili zazibonakala zidansa ngamandla avuselelwe ekukhanyeni kwasekuseni.
Ivuselela futhi ivuselela
Ngangingenandaba namazolo kwaze kwaba muva nje ngamazwi eZaga 19,12 washukunyiswa ukucabanga. “Ulaka lwenkosi lunjengokubhonga kwengonyama; kodwa umusa wakhe unjengamazolo otshanini.
Kwakuyini ukusabela kwami kokuqala? “Lesi sisho asisebenzi kimina. Angiyona inkosi futhi angihlali ngaphansi kwenkosi." Ngemva kokucabanga okuthile, kwafika enye into. Akunzima ukubona ukuthi ukucasuka noma ukucasuka kwenkosi kungafaniswa kanjani nokubhonga kwengonyama. Ukudweba intukuthelo yabantu (ikakhulukazi labo abasegunyeni) kungase kwesabe - akufani nokuhlangana nebhubesi elithukuthele. Kodwa kuthiwani ngomusa onjengamazolo otshanini? Emibhalweni yomprofethi uMika sifunda ngabantu abathile ababezibonakalise bethembekile kuNkulunkulu. Bayoba “njengamazolo avela kuJehova, njengemvula otshanini.” (Mik 5,6).
Ithonya labo phakathi kwabantu ababebazungezile laliqabula futhi livuselela, njengomphumela wamazolo nemvula ohlaza. Ngokunjalo, mina nawe singamazolo kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zalabo esixhumene nabo. Njengoba nje isitshalo simunca amazolo aphilisayo ngamahlamvu awo - futhi siqhakaze - siyindlela kaNkulunkulu yokuletha ukuphila kobuNkulunkulu emhlabeni.1. UJohannes 4,17). UNkulunkulu ungumthombo wamazolo (Hoseya 14,6) futhi ukhethe mina nawe njengabasabalalisi.
Singaba kanjani amazolo kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zabanye abantu? Enye inguqulo yezAga 19,12 uyasiza ngokuqhubekayo: “Inkosi ethukuthele iyesabeka njengengonyama ebhongayo, kodwa umusa wayo unjengamazolo otshanini” (NCV). Amazwi anomusa angaba njengamazolo anamathela kubantu futhi anikeze ukuphila (5. Msombuluko 32,2). Ngezinye izikhathi okudingekayo nje ukusiza kancane, ukumamatheka, ukwanga, ukuthinta, ukushaphu noma ukunqekuzisa ikhanda ukuze uvuselele futhi uvuselele othile. Singathandazela nabanye futhi sihlanganyele nabo ithemba esinalo ngabo. Singamathuluzi kaNkulunkulu okuba khona Kwakhe emsebenzini, emindenini yethu, emabandleni ethu - nasekudlaleni. Umngane wami uJack usanda kungitshela indaba elandelayo:
“Sekuphele iminyaka emithathu ngajoyina ikilabhu yangakithi yokuphosa. Abadlali abaningi bafika ngo-13 emini futhi umdlalo uqala cishe imizuzu engama-40 kamuva. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi sezinguquko, abadlali bayazihlalela baxoxe, kodwa eminyakeni embalwa yokuqala ngakhetha ukuhlala emotweni yami ngenze isifundo seBhayibheli esincane. Ngokushesha nje lapho abadlali bethatha amabhola abo, ngangifuna ukudlula ngiye endaweni eluhlaza okotshani. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule nginqume ukwenzela ikilabhu okuthize esikhundleni sokufunda. Bengifuna indawo engizosebenza kuyo ngathola umsebenzi endaweni yokucima ukoma. Inqwaba yezibuko kwadingeka ikhishwe kusinki futhi ifakwe ku-hatch yokuphakela; amanzi, iqhwa neziphuzo ezibandayo kanye nobhiya kuhlinzekwa ekamelweni le-club. Kwathatha cishe isigamu sehora, kodwa ngawujabulela kakhulu umsebenzi. Imifino ye-Bowling yizindawo lapho ungenza noma uqede khona ubungane. Ngokuzisola kwami, mina nomnumzane othile sashayisa amakhanda ukuze siqhelelane ngemva kwalokho. Noma kunjalo, ungacabanga ukuthi ngamangala futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngajabula kanjani lapho eza kimi futhi ethi: 'Ukuba khona kwakho kwenza umehluko omkhulu eqenjini!'”
Abantu abavamile
Kungaba lula kakhulu kodwa kube nenjongo. Njengamazolo asekuseni otshanini bakithi. Singenza umehluko buthule nangomusa ekuphileni kwalabo esihlangana nabo. Ungalokothi uwuthathe kancane umthelela owenzayo. Ngosuku lwePhentekoste, uMoya oNgcwele wagcwalisa amakholwa ayi-120. Babengabantu nje abavamile njengami nawe kodwa kwakungabantu abafanayo kamuva “baphendulela umhlaba phansi”. Angaphansi kwamakhulu amabili amazolo amanzisa umhlaba wonke.
Kukhona omunye umbono kulesi sisho. Lapho uzithola unegunya, kubalulekile ukucabangela lokho amazwi nezenzo zakho ezizokwenza kwabangaphansi kwakho. Umqashi kufanele abe nomusa, abe nomusa, futhi angenzeleli ( IzAga 20,28 ). Indoda akumelanga ibe luhlaza kumkayo.” ( Kholose 3,19) nabazali kufanele bagweme ukudikibalisa izingane zabo ngokugxeka noma ukubaqisa ngokweqile (Kolose 3,21). Kunalokho, yibani njengamazolo - aqeda ukoma futhi aqabulayo. Vumela ubuhle bothando lukaNkulunkulu bubonakale endleleni yakho yokuphila.
Umcabango owodwa wokugcina. Amazolo agcwalisa injongo yawo - aqabula, ahlobise futhi anikeze ukuphila. Kodwa iconsi lamazolo alijuluki ngenkathi uzama ukuba munye! Ungamazolo kaNkulunkulu ngokuba kuJesu Kristu. Lokhu akuphathelene namaphrojekthi namasu. Kuyazenzekela, kungokwemvelo. UMoya oNgcwele udala impilo kaJesu ezimpilweni zethu. Thandaza ukuthi impilo yakhe igeleze kuwe. Vele ube nguwe - iconsi elincane lamazolo.
