UMZUZU WOGUQULELO 11
Amazwi athi “imihla yokugqibela” anesiprofeto yaye azele lulindelo. IBhayibhile ithi asikokuthanda kukaThixo ukuba nabani na atshabalale kodwa kukuba bonke bafikelele enguqukweni, 2nd Petros 3:9 . Imihla yokugqibela kushwankathelo olufutshane inento yokwenza nazo zonke iziganeko kunye neemeko ezibandakanya ukusindiswa nokuhlanganiswa koMtshakazi. Oku kufikelela kuvuthondaba ekuguqulelweni nasekuphelisweni kwamaxesha eentlanga. Ikwabandakanya ukubuya kweNkosi kumaYuda. Ibhayibhile ifuna okuninzi kumakholwa, asele esindisiwe kwaye ayaziyo ingqondo kaThixo.
Kule mihla yokunganeliseki kubalulekile ukukuphepha ukuzibandakanya nezopolitiko zanamhlanje. MKristu ngamnye umele alumke alungelelanise izenzo zakhe. Okona kubalulekileyo, musa ukubandakanyeka kwiingxoxo ezishushu zezopolitiko ezenzeka ehlabathini lonke namhlanje. Nokuba zithini na izimvo zakho kwaye ngubani othanda okanye ongamthandiyo phakathi kweenkokeli zethu, usenalo uxanduva lwezibhalo ngakuzo.
Umpostile uPawulos kweyoku-1st UTimoti 2:1-2 uthi, “Ndiyavuselela ngoko kuqala kwiinto zonke, ukuba kwenziwe izikhungo, imithandazo, izibongozo, imibulelo, ngenxa yabantu bonke; ngenxa yookumkani nabo bonke abasekongameni; ukuze sihlale ngokonwaba nangokuzola, sinokulunga konke, nokundileka. Kuba oku kuhle, kwamkelekile emehlweni oMsindisi wethu uThixo. Le yenye yezo ndawo sonke esenza iimpazamo ngamaxesha athile. Siba ngamaqela, sibandakanyeke kwiintelekelelo, amaphupha ahlekisayo kwaye ngaphambi kokuba uyazi, ukubetha ngoyaba ukuthanda kukaThixo kwabo banegunya.
UDaniyeli umprofeti kwaDan. 2:20-21: “Malibongwe igama likaThixo ngonaphakade kanaphakade; ngokuba ubulumko nobugorha bobakhe; uyawaguqula ke amaxesha neminyaka; uguzula ookumkani, amise ookumkani; unika ubulumko izilumko, nokwazi kwabakwaziyo ukuqonda.” Oku kucacile, uThixo ubeka abantu ukuba babalawule aze abashenxise njengoko ebona kufanelekile. UThixo wazi zonke izinto. Phambi kokuba uthethe ngaye nabani na onegunya kufuneka sikhumbule ukubathandazela abo bantu; zikhumbuze kwakhona ukuba nguThixo kuphela osusa okanye omisa nabani na onegunya. Khumbula ukuba uThixo wavusa uFaro ngexesha likaMoses noonyana bakaSirayeli eYiputa, noNebhukadenetsare eBhabhiloni ngemihla kaDaniyeli.
Masizimisele ukwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, sikhumbula ukuba ubanika ubulumko abo baziyo ukuqonda. Ugxininiso lwethu kukulungiselela uguqulelo okanye ukuba iNkosi ibiza umntu ukuba aguqulelwe buqu ngokufa ngokwasemzimbeni. UThixo akacebisi namnye kuthi ukuba enze ukuthanda Kwakhe. Sadalelwa ukukholisa nenjongo yakhe.
Emva koguqulelo kuya kuba liphupha elibi emhlabeni. Umchasi-Kristu uyalawula njengoko uThixo emvumela. Ngoku aba bantu banegunya phambi kokuguqulelwa bajongene nekamva elifanayo nabangakholwayo ukuba bashiywe emva emva kokuxwilwa. Kufuneka sithandazele bonke abantu, kuba siyakwazi ukoyikeka kweNkosi ukuba umntu ushiywe ngasemva. Khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni weSityhi. 9:5 esifundeka ngolu hlobo, “Kwaye kwanikwa igunya lokuba bangababulali, bathuthunjelwe iinyanga ezintlanu; Ngaloo mihla abantu baya kukufuna ukufa, bangakufumani; baya kukunqwenela ukufa, kusuke ukufa kusabe kubo.
Masibathandazele abo basemagunyeni ukuba basindiswe ngenye indlela ingqumbo yeMvana ibalindile. Kodwa khumbula ukuguquka kuqala ukuba ubungabathandazeli abo basemagunyeni ngaphambili; inokuba kungenxa yomoya wethu wokuba nenxaxheba. Ukuvuma izono kulungile emphefumlweni. Ukuba sithembekile ekuvumeni izono, uThixo uthembekile ukuba axolele kwaye aphendule imithandazo yethu, ngegama likaYesu Krestu, amen. Uguqulo lukufuphi kwaye kufanele ukuba lugxininise kuthi, singazixakekisi kwezopolitiko zokungaqiniseki. Masichithe iyure exabisekileyo eseleyo kuthi emhlabeni sithandazela abalahlekileyo kwaye silungiselele ukuhamba kwethu. Yonke imiba yezopolitiko iyisiphazamiso. Umphumo uquka abaprofeti nabaprofetikazi bezobupolitika abaninzi. Jonga ixesha lomoya, imali kunye nolwazi olungelulo olujikelezayo. Le yimigibe kwaye isihogo sizandisile, ngemitshato yezobupolitika neyonqulo nobuxoki. Yibani nobungcathu, niphaphamele; Musa ukubanjiswa kwaye ujonge amazwi akho. Sonke siya kuziphendulela kuThixo, amen.
