Nikela imisebenzi yakho eNkosini
Umlimi wayeshayela iloli lakhe emgwaqeni omkhulu futhi wabona umuntu ogibelayo ephethe ubhaka osindayo. Wama wabe esemgibela, umgibeli wavuma ngenjabulo. Ngemva kokushayela isikhashana, umlimi wathi nhló esibukweni esingemuva futhi wabona umuntu ogibela ibhayisikili eqosheme ngemuva elolini nojosaka osindayo usagaxwe emahlombe akhe. Umlimi wama futhi wamemeza, “Hheyi, kungani ungawukhumuli ubhaka uwubeke phezu kwebhinki?” “Kulungile,” kuphendula umgibeli. “Akumele uzikhathaze ngami. Vele ungiyise lapho ngiya khona ngizojabula."
Yeka ukuthi kuwubuwula kanjani lokho! Kodwa amaKristu amaningi analesi simo sengqondo. Bajabulela ukulandwa “nge-ambulensi” ebayisa ezulwini, kodwa abawususi umthwalo emahlombe abo phakathi nohambo.
Lokhu kuphambene neqiniso esilithola eBhayibhelini - futhi iqiniso lizokwenza umthwalo wakho ube lula! Kuzaga 16,3 INkosi uSolomoni iphinde isibonise elinye lamatshe ayo ayigugu akhazimulayo: “Yala kuJehova imisebenzi yakho, ukuze kuphumelele injongo yakho.” Kunokwengeziwe kuleli vesi kunokulwela ukuba umKristu oqotho. Igama elithi "Command" lapha ngokwezwi nezwi lisho "roll (on)". Kuhlobene nokugingqa noma ukugingqa into isuka kuwe iye komunye. Umbiko ku 1. UGenesise 29 uyakwenza kucace. UJakobe wafika emthonjeni endleleni eya ePhadani Aramu, lapho ahlangana khona noRaheli. Yena nabanye babefuna ukuphuzisa izimvu zabo, kodwa idwala elinzima lavala umlomo womthombo. UJakobe “wasondela, wagingqa itshe walisusa kuJehova
ukuvulwa komthombo” (ivesi 10) futhi waphuzisa izimvu. Igama lesiHeberu elithi “gingqelwa” lapha liyigama elifanayo nelithi “umyalo” kuZaga 16,3. Inkulumo yokugingqika ngomqondo wokugingqela umthwalo kuNkulunkulu nayo itholakala kumaHubo 37,5 futhi 55,23 ukuthola. Limelela ukuncika ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu.” Umphostoli uPetru naye wabhala: “Zonke izinkathazo zenu
umjikijele; ngoba uyakukhathalela” (1. UPetrus 5,7). Igama lesiGreki elihunyushwe ngokuthi “phonsa” ngokuyisisekelo lisho okufanayo negama lesiHeberu elithi “umyalo,” elihunyushwa nangokuthi “gingqa noma aphonse.” Lesi isenzo esiqaphelayo ngasohlangothini lwethu. Sithola negama elithi “phonsa” endabeni yokungena kukaJesu eJerusalema, lapho agibela khona imbongolo.
“Babeka izingubo zabo phezu kwethole.” (Luka 1 Kor9,35). Phonsa konke okukukhathazayo emhlane weNkosi yethu. Uyoyinakekela ngoba uyakunakekela.
Awukwazi ukuxolela umuntu? Yiphonse kuNkulunkulu! Ingabe uthukuthele Yiphonse kuNkulunkulu! Ingabe uyesaba? Phonsa lokhu kuNkulunkulu! Ukhathele ukungabi nabulungisa kulo mhlaba? Phonsa lokhu kuNkulunkulu! Ingabe ubhekene nomuntu onzima? Phonsa umthwalo kuNkulunkulu! Ingabe uke wahlukunyezwa? Yiphonse kuNkulunkulu! Ingabe uphelelwe yithemba? Yiphonse kuNkulunkulu! Kodwa akugcini lapho. Isimemo sikaNkulunkulu sokuthi “bamphonse” asifaneleki. USolomoni wabhala ukuthi noma yini esiyenzayo, masiyiphonse kuNkulunkulu. Phakathi nohambo lwakho lokuphila, phonsa zonke izinto kuNkulunkulu—zonke izinhlelo zakho, amathemba, namaphupho akho. Uma uphonsa konke kuNkulunkulu, ungamane ukuphonse engqondweni yakho. Kwenze ngempela. Beka imicabango yakho ngamazwi. Khuluma noNkulunkulu. Cacisa: “Izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu.” (Filipi 4,6). Mtshele, "Ngikhathazekile nge..." "Ngizokunikeza. Eyakho. Angazi ukuthi ngenze njani". Umthandazo wakha ubuhlobo futhi uNkulunkulu ufisa kakhulu ukuthi siphendukele kuYe. Ufuna simvumele abe yingxenye yempilo yethu. Ufuna ukukwazi ngawe ngokwakho! UNkulunkulu ufuna ukukuzwa - yeka umcabango!
Igama elithi “myalo” kwesinye isikhathi lihunyushwa ngokuthi “phathisa” eTestamenteni Elidala. I-Amplified Bible ihumusha izAga 16,3 kanje: “Gingqela [noma uphonse] imisebenzi yakho eNkosini [uyale/uyibeke kuye ngokuphelele].” Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyini, kubeke kuye. Mgingqe kuye. Thembela kuNkulunkulu ukuthi uyoyinakekela futhi uyokwenza lokho okusentandweni yakhe. Kushiye kuye futhi uhlale ezolile. Kuzokwenzekani esikhathini esizayo? UNkulunkulu "uzofeza amacebo akho." Uyobumba izifiso zethu, intando, kanye namacebo ukuze konke kuhambisane nentando Yakhe, futhi uyobeka izifiso Zakhe ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuze zibe ngezethu (IHubo 3)7,4).
Susa umthwalo emahlombe akho. UNkulunkulu usimema ukuthi sigingqe konke phezu kwakhe. Khona-ke ungaba nokuzethemba nokuthula kwangaphakathi ukuthi izinhlelo zakho, izifiso zakho, nezinkathazo zakho ziyafezeka ngandlela thize ngoba zihambisana nezifiso zikaNkulunkulu. Lesi isimemo okungafanele usenqabe!
