Phakamisa i Nkosi umphefumulo wami
Iningi lezingane lazi izibuko ezikhulisayo futhi lijabule ukuzisebenzisa ukubona konke kukhulisiwe. Izinambuzane zibukeka njengezilo ezivela kumanoveli eziqanjiwe zesayensi. Izinhlayiya zenhlabathi nesihlabathi zibukeka njengombhede omkhulu womfula noma ugwadule. Isikhathi esiningi, lapho ukhomba ingilazi yokukhulisa ebusweni bomngani, kukhona ongakuhleka.
UMariya, unina kaJesu, wayengakazi lutho ngokukhulisa izibuko. Kodwa wayekwazi lokho ayeyikho kuLuka 1,46 kusho lapho ezwa udumo luqhuma ngaphakathi ezindabeni zokuthi wayezothola isibusiso sokuba unina kaMesiya. “UMariya wayesethi: ‘Umphefumulo wami uyayitusa iNkosi. Enye incwadi ithi: “UMariya uphakamisa iNkosi ngokutshela abanye ukuthi iphakeme futhi inkulu kangakanani emehlweni abo. Ngala mazwi (ngesiGreki), uMariya ubonisa ukuthi ukudumisa kwakhe uNkulunkulu kuvela ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yakhe. Ukukhulekela kwakhe kungokomuntu siqu; kuphuma enhliziyweni.” Ingoma kaMariya yokudumisa ibizwa ngokuthi “Magnificat,” okusho ukuthi “phakamisa, khulisa” ngesiLatini. UMariya wathi umphefumulo wakhe uyayitusa iNkosi. Ezinye izinguqulo zisebenzisa amagama athi “dumisani, phakamisani, khazimulisani”.
Indlela yokudumisa iNkosi? Mhlawumbe isichazamazwi sizosinika imikhondo. Enye incazelo iwukuyenza ibe nkulu ngobukhulu. Njengoba sidumisa uJehova, uyakhula. U-JB Philipps wathi, “UNkulunkulu wakho mncane kakhulu.” Ukuphakamisa nokuphakamisa iNkosi kusisiza thina nabanye ukuba siqonde ukuthi mkhulu kangakanani kunalokho ebesikucabanga noma esikucabangayo.
Enye incazelo ukwenza uNkulunkulu abonakale emkhulu futhi ebaluleke kakhulu phambi kwamehlo abantu. Uma sicabanga ngakho futhi sikhuluma ngobukhulu beNkosi, kuyasisiza ukuqonda ukuthi singobani maqondana naye. Izindlela nemicabango kaNkulunkulu kuphakeme kakhulu futhi kukhulu kunezethu, futhi sidinga ukuzikhumbuza thina futhi sikhumbuzane ngayo. Singaba sikhulu kunaye emehlweni ethu uma singaqapheli.
UJoe Stowell uthi, “Injongo yokuphila kwethu iwukuvumela abanye babone ukuthi uNkulunkulu unjani njengoba bebuka futhi bezwa uthando Lwakhe ngathi.” Ungasho ukuthi ukuphila kwethu kufana nefasitela abanye abantu ababona ngalo uKristu kithi bebona bukhoma. . Abanye basebenzisa isifaniso sokuthi sifana nezibuko ezibonisa yena nothando lwakhe. Singangeza ohlwini ukuthi siyingilazi ekhulisayo. Njengoba siphila, ubuntu bakhe, intando yakhe, nezindlela zakhe kuya kucaca nakakhulu kwababukele.
Ngenkathi siphila impilo ezolile nenokuthula kukho konke ukuhlonipha nokuhlonipha (1. UThimothi 2,2) kufanele sigcine ifasitela lihlanzekile, sibonise ukucabangela okucacile, futhi siphakamise impilo nothando lukaJesu ngaphakathi kwethu. Phakamisa uJehova mphefumulo wami.
