Woza uzophuza

Ngelinye ilanga ntambama kwakushisa ngangisebenza ensimini yezithelo zama-apula nomkhulu wami ngisemusha. Ungicele ukuthi ngimlethele ujeke wamanzi ukuze athathe isiphuzo eside se-Adam's Ale (okusho ukuthi amanzi amsulwa). Lokho bekungukukhuluma kwakhe okunezimbali zamanzi amasha amile. Njengoba nje amanzi amsulwa eqabula ngokwenyama, iZwi likaNkulunkulu liyasiphilisa lapho siqeqeshwa ngokomoya.

Phawula amazwi omprofethi u-Isaya: “Ngokuba njengokuba imvula neqhwa kuvela ezulwini, kungabuyeli khona, kepha kumanzise umhlaba, kuwenze uvunde, ukhule, unike imbewu yokuhlwanyela nesinkwa ukuba kudle, kufanele Izwi eliphuma emlonyeni wami liyakuba-njalo futhi: Aliyikubuyela kimi lize, kodwa liyokwenza engikuthandayo, futhi liyophumelela kulokho engilithumela kukho.”— Isaya 55,10-enye).

Ingxenye enkulu yendawo yakwa-Israyeli, lapho la mazwi abhalwa khona eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eyedlule, yomile ukusho okuncane. Ukuzikisa kwakungasho nje kuphela umehluko phakathi kwesivuno esibi nesivuno esihle, kepha kwesinye isikhathi phakathi kokuphila nokufa.
Kula mazwi ka-Isaya, uNkulunkulu ukhuluma ngezwi lakhe, ukuba khona kwakhe kokudala okuphathelene nezwe. Isingathekiso asisebenzisa ngokuphindaphindiwe amanzi, imvula neqhwa, okusinika inzalo nokuphila. Ziyizimpawu zobukhona bukaNkulunkulu. “Kumele kukhule imisayipuresi esikhundleni sameva nemibomvana esikhundleni sezimbabazane. Kuyakwenziwa kuJehova kube yinkazimulo nesibonakaliso esiphakade esingayikudlula.”—Isaya 55,13).

Ingabe lokho kuzwakala kujwayelekile kuwe? Cabanga ngesiqalekiso lapho u-Adamu no-Eva bexoshwa eNsimini yase-Edene: «Uyozondla ngobunzima kuyo, insimu, ukuphila kwakho konke. uyakukuvezela ameva namakhakhasi, udle imifino yasendle »(1. mose 3,17-enye).
Kula mavesi sibona okuphambene nalokho - isithembiso sezibusiso kanye nokuchichima, kunokuba kugwadule futhi kulahlekelwe kakhulu. ENtshonalanga ikakhulukazi, izidingo zethu zingaphezu kokuhlangatshezwa. Noma kunjalo sisenaso isomiso nameva namakhakhasi ezinhliziyweni zethu. Sisehlane eliyimiphefumulo.

Sidinga kakhulu imvula eyigugu nokuvuselelwa okumangalisayo kukaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu okuwela kithi. Umphakathi, ukukhonza kanye nokusiza abaphukile yizindawo ezinomsoco nezisiqinisayo lapho singahlangana khona noNkulunkulu.

Ingabe womile namuhla? Ukhathele ameva akhula ngenxa yomona, amakhakhasi aqhuma ngentukuthelo, ugwadule olomile oluvela ezimfunweni, ukucindezeleka, ukukhungatheka nokulwa?
UJesu ukunika amanzi aphilayo aphakade: «Lowo ophuza lawa manzi uyophinde ome; kodwa lowo oyakuphuza amanzi engimnika wona, kayikokoma phakade, kepha amanzi engiyakumnika wona ayakuba-ngumthombo wamanzi okugobhoza kuye ekuphileni okuphakade phakathi kwakhe.” ( Joh. 4,14).
UJesu ungumthombo omusha. Woza uzophuza amanzi ahlala egeleza njalo. Yilokho okugcina umhlaba uphila!
