AKUZUKUDE KODWA KUFUNEKA SIBukele
Xa umntu omncinci eqala ukuqaphela utshintsho oluthile, kwiimpawu zabo ezibonakalayo kunye nokubonakala, iingcinga ezithile ziqala ukuza engqondweni. Umzimba womntu ufana nehlabathi. Iyaphathwa gadalala, ngamanye amaxesha igcinwe, iziphumo zihlala zibonakala. Kodwa kufuneka senze konke okusemandleni ethu, nokuba imeko ithini ukuze sigcine imeko yomzimba neyokomoya. Umhlaba nomntu baya kuphendula kuThixo. Kodwa ngenjongo yethu masiqwalasele emntwini. Xa indoda ibona utshintsho oluqaphelekayo nolunyamezelayo (yiyo loo nto abantu besenza utyando oluthile, ukujongeka njengabancinci) njengemibimbi, ukubona kunye nokuva imiba, iinkophe ezinengxowa, amazinyo okufakelwa, iiwigi, ukuthoba isantya kwimisebenzi, iingxaki zokwetyisa, ukukhula kweenwele kunye nombala; ke uyazi ukuba izinto ezithile ziyaqhubeka. Kodwa ayizukuba lide, jonga nje. Bonke abakuKristu Yesu ngokwenyani kungekudala baya kuba sekhaya neNkosi yethu noThixo kwaye kuya kubakho lincinci okanye kungasekho zinguquko zenziwayo kuthi emva kwamava okuguqula.
Kubizwa ngokuba kukuguga, kwaye uninzi lwethu luyakuqonda oko. Ayisosizathu sakuphumla, xa ulindele utshintsho oluzayo, (1st AbaseKorinte 15: 51-58). Amadoda nabafazi abaninzi bakaThixo, bathi bayathatha umhlala phantsi ebaleni xa idabi lisiya kwinqanaba labo elinzima. Ukungaqiniseki yinto yemihla ngemihla, kodwa hayi kumakholwa. Ngokomzalwana, uNeal Frisby, uqoqosho lwethu alubotshelelwanga kuqoqosho lomntu kodwa kuqoqosho lukaThixo. Zininzi izinto ezibangela ukwaluphala emhlabeni kunye nakumntu. Ihlabathi linemibimbi kwaye umntu unemibimbi. Ihlabathi lineentlungu zokuzalwa, umntu naye unentlungu zokuzalwa, (KwabaseRoma 8: 19-23 ukugcuma ziintlungu). Ezi ntlungu zokuzalwa ziza nobunzima bemihla ngemihla. Uxinzelelo olungaziwayo, olutshintsha iimeko zomzimba zokusebenza; xa ungakwazi ukulala kamnandi kunye nokwetyisa okuhle, kubonakala emzimbeni.
Umhlaba ujongene nezinto ezingaqhelekanga nangoku kwaye zonke iindlela zikhokelela kuMat. 24. Izizwe zichasene namazwe, uqoqosho luyadilika kwaye luyadibana, abantu behlabathi bayaqhuma kwaye balungiselela ulutsha iimfazwe, amarhe eemfazwe kunye nesiphithiphithi. Itempo yezinto iya kwanda. Kwincwina yendalo, izinto ezine kwindalo ziya kunyusa amanyathelo. Ezi zinto zibandakanya iinyikima kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo emhlabeni (unokufumana enye okanye ezininzi iinyikima kubomi bakho). Ezi nyikima zilinganisa ukutshatyalaliswa kobukhulu obahlukeneyo kunye nemibimbi emhlabeni. NgokukaLuka 21:11, "Kuya kubakho iinyikima zomhlaba ezinkulu kwiindawo ngeendawo," watsho uYesu Kristu. Oku wathi kuyakwenzeka ngemihla yokugqibela. Oku kunokwenzeka naphina, ngokuka-Mzalwana uFrisby, ezi zinto ziya kuqala ukwenzeka kwiindawo ezingazange zenzeke nakuzo ngaphambili. Musa ukonwaba kakhulu apho ukhoyo, kuba isenokuba kuloo ndawo elandelayo. Umhlaba uyancwina, ngeenyikima, ziintaba-mlilo, yimililo, zizikhukula, ngamasinki, ngodaka kunye nokunye okuninzi.
Iintaba-mlilo zinokuqhushumba naphi na nanini na. Ayisiyonto yokuhlekisa, iintaba-mlilo ziyaqhuma kwaye zikhuphe izinto ezishushu zepasty, udaka, amatye, uthuli, kunye neerhasi izixa ezikhulu kwaye zinokubulala naziphi na izinto eziphilayo ezijikeleze indlela ehamba ngayo. Iinyikima zomhlaba, ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo kunye nokunye ukuqhushumba okungaphantsi kwamanzi ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi kwamanzi, zonke zinamandla okuvelisa i-tsunami: Olu luthotho lwamaza omzimba wamanzi, abangelwa kukufuduswa komthamo omkhulu wamanzi; oza emhlabeni ogudle unxweme obangela ukufa kunye nentshabalalo. Azikho iilwandle okanye imimandla engaselunxwemeni ekhuselekileyo kwezi. Lo nguThixo usebenzisa indalo ukubizela abantu enguqukweni; UThixo ushumayela iintshumayelo emhlabeni.
Umhla kaNowa wajamelana nentshabalalo kwindalo iphela ngamanzi kodwa namhlanje iza kuza ngendlela eyahlukileyo kwaye ibekwe ngokwasendaweni. Kule mihla kwanamanzi ayagcuma. UThixo ushumayela ebantwini ngendalo, kuba ixesha lifutshane. Ukuntywila kuyothusa phakathi kokugcuma. Zonke iintlobo zezikhukula zenzeka nakwiindawo ezingazange zacingwa. TUbushushu behlabathi buqhubekile kwaye umkhenkce emantla nasezibonda zasemazantsi uyanyibilika. Amaza ayenyuka, abangela izikhukula kwimilambo yomhlaba, iilwandle kunye neelwandle kwaye umhlaba uyakhukula. Ezi zikhukula zibangela umonakalo, ukusweleka, uyilo kunye nokufuduswa kwabantu.
Imililo isikhumbuza isihogo nedike lomlilo. UThixo uyashumayela emntwini, xa abanye abashumayeli bethatha umhlala-phantsi kwinkonzo esebenzayo, eyadini yeNkosi. Jonga okwenziwa ngumlilo unyaka nonyaka kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zehlabathi. Jonga umlilo waseCalifornia, ukutshatyalaliswa kunye nokufa. Kuyenzeka kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi kwaye njengoko uyilo lubekwa kwimililo emininzi. Imililo yabantu, ngokukhanyisa, yenzeka rhoqo ngoku nangakumbi kwaye isendleleni. UThixo uyashumayela kwaye indalo iyancwina kuba oonyana bakaThixo balungiselela ukubonakalisa. Khumbula 2nd UPetros 3:10, “Kwaye neziqalelo ziyanyibilika bubushushu obukhulu, nomhlaba nayo imisebenzi ekuwo iya kutshiswa,” ngumlilo lo kanjalo bazalwana. Xa sisiya kuguqulelo yonke into eshiye ngasemva iya kutshiswa ngomlilo. Ingaba uyahamba?
Jonga iinkanyamba, iinkanyamba, iinkanyamba, iinkanyamba, iindudumo, nezinye iziphepho; ukufa kunye nomonakalo obangelwe akucingeki. Imimoya iqalisa ukugcuma. Le mimoya inamandla eatom xa idibana nomlilo okanye amanzi okanye iinyikima. Eminye yale mimoya ingaphezulu kwe-200miles ngeyure, ithwele izithuthi njengobutyobo kwimimoya, esebenza njenge-projectiles okanye izixhobo zokufa. Kuzo zonke ezi luthando lukaThixo, olubizela umntu enguqukweni, kuba imbandezelo enkulu ayinasichazi sokukufa kunye nentshabalalo ezayo emhlabeni, yabo baseleyo ngasemva.
Ezi zinto zendalo zizixhobo zikaThixo, ziya kunyusa ukushumayela kwiintsuku ezizayo kwaye umntu kufuneka ajongane nomculo. Ukubaleka kweBhanki kunye nokuwa kwebhanki kuya kuba yinto eqhelekileyo kwaye inyuke. Imisebenzi ayizinzanga njengoorhulumente. Inkolo kunye nezopolitiko ziyakuthatha izihlalo zangaphambili njengoko ukukhula kolunye lwehlabathi kukhula. Inyani lixesha lokuba wonke umntu alandele inkokeli yakhe. Ukuba uYesu Kristu nguThixo wakho mlandele kwaye ukholelwe kulo lonke ilizwi lakhe. Ukuba uSathana kunye nehlabathi, inkcubeko, imali kunye neziyolo abe nguthixo wakho landela ngaloo ndlela.
Ngokwencwadi zika bhuti uNeal Frisby, kumsongo we-176 wathi, "Inani lama-20 lihlala linxulunyaniswa neengxaki, kunye nomzabalazo." Phambi kwethu, ngeentsuku ezimbalwa iyakuba ngunyaka ka-2020. Ukuba u-20 uyarhanelwa emva koko u-2020 phambili angamangalisa kwaye angaqondakali, le ngu-20 ukuya ku-20 kabini. Ingxaki kuthetha ubunzima, ukuphazamiseka, ukungazinzi, ukuphazamiseka, unxunguphalo, ixhala kunye nokunye okuninzi. Mat. I-24: 5-13 ikunika eminye yemithombo yeengxaki ebangela ukuba iintliziyo zamadoda zisilele. Iingxaki kunye nemizabalazo iya kuba yelizwe kunye neyakho. Apho kukho iingxaki kunye nemizabalazo uhlala unenkohliso kunye nokukhohlisa. Zonke izizwe ziya kuqhathwa. Imimoya yenkolo iya kubathimba abaninzi. Iibhanki ziya kulawula imali ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Itekhnoloji iya kusetyenziselwa ukubamba amapolisa ebantwini. Ngenxa yeengxaki, iingxaki kunye nokuzabalaza urhulumente wamapolisa uya kujongeka njengesisombululo. Abantu baya kunyanzelwa ukuba bachongwe ngombane, ngenxa yezizathu zohambo, ezonyango, ezomsebenzi, ezasebhankini kunye nezobugrogrisi: kodwa kuhlalutyo lokugqibela konke malunga nolawulo kunye nenkonzo yenkqubo yokuchasa uKrestu. Oonyana bakaThixo nokuba yintoni, siyazi ukuba ngubani ophetheyo, UYESU KRISTU.
Ngexesha lamaxhala, iingxaki kunye nemizabalazo, ebusweni bemikhosi yamandla kunye nenkolo kunye nezopolitiko; Kufuneka ucele ubulumko kuThixo ukuze ungahlali ematyaleni. Sika ingubo yakho ngokobungakanani bakho; jonga umdla wakho wokutya (beka imela emqaleni wakho), thandaza, ubukele, ulumke kwaye ungabinangqondo. Uqoqosho lubi kakhulu kunokuba urhulumente kunye neebhanki basixelela. Wonke umntu unyanzelwa ukuba angene ematyaleni ngamakhadi okuthenga ngetyala, isikolo, indlu, imoto, kunye neemali mboleko zeshishini ngamaxabiso enzala. Iirhafu zijonge abantu kwaye zanda ngokuthe chu. Izixhobo ezine eziphambili zobuqhetseba kule mihla yokugqibela ezoqoqosho, ezopolitiko, inkolo kunye nenkcubeko ebizwa njalo. Phakathi kwezi zinto kuya kuba nexhala, ubukrakra, umsindo, uloyiko, ububi kunye noMat. 24:12, “Nangenxa yokwanda kokuchasa umthetho, luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi.”
Ezopolitiko namhlanje zikhuphe ezona zimbi emadodeni nakwabafazi. Ngokuqonda okanye ngokungazi abaninzi bayatsaleleka kuyo, ngethemba lokuthatha inxaxheba kulawulo olulungileyo. Kodwa inyani kukuba umoya wezopolitiko uthimbe abantu abaninzi wabasebenzisa. Ngoku zizixhobo ezitsha zongendawo ekuzameni ukulawula umhlaba. Inkohliso eninzi, iingxaki kunye nokuzabalaza kuyeza. Ukuba uyakholelwa nyani kwizibhalo uyazi ukuba siphelile ixesha kwaye umchasi-Kristu uyavuka alawule umhlaba ngokuthopha, ubuxoki nenkohliso, eziyinxalenye kunye nenxalenye yezopolitiko. Khumbula ukuba ezopolitiko azinakho ukuziphatha. Akukho nto injengokuba ngumpolitiki olungileyo ongumKristu, onokuthi uhambe kakuhle kodwa ungaze uphume kakuhle. Ziba ziinkozi ngaphandle kwamaphiko kwaye zondla ngeenkukhu.
Ungacinga ukuba amakholwa azimiseleyo, anokugcina iziprofeto zebhayibhile zihlala zijongeka. Eli ayiloxesha lokuthatha amathuba ngelizwi likaThixo malunga noxhwilo olukhawulezileyo. Nabani na ozibiza ngokuba ungumKristu kwaye akakuqwalaseli ukuza kukaYesu Krestu kuguqulelo nokuba akakholwanga okanye ukhohlisiwe ngoku wenza ikholwa. Uninzi lwabantu abanjalo basesecaweni namhlanje, njengeenkokheli, kwaye abaninzi bathathwa nguMtyholi ngezo nkokheli. Ezi nkokeli azizikholelwa zonke izibhalo; iinkokeli ezinjalo kunye nabakhuseli bazo jika phambi kokuba ushiye ngasemva. Abanye babo bazibandakanye kwezopolitiko kwaye bakhuthaza abalandeli babo ukuba bangene kwezopolitiko ukuze bancede batshintshe umhlaba. Inyani yile yokuba ulandela loo ndlela yobuxoki, ubuqhetseba nenkohliso awungekhe ube yinkonzo kaThixo kodwa umtyholi. Unokucinga ukuba ufuna ukulungisa umhlaba othunywe ukutshiswa ngomlilo, emva kokuba ugqithile kwimbandezelo enkulu, ukuba uyasinda kuwo. Iinkokeli ezininzi zithengise kumtyholi zaza zanikela abalandeli bazo kongendawo. Khumbula ukuba wonke umntu uya kuziphendulela kuThixo, inkokeli yakho ayinakukuthethela, ngaloo Mini yoyikekayo yoMgwebo. Xa ezopolitiko kunye nenkolo yobuxoki betshata, uqikelelo lwakho lulungile njengolwam, baya kuzala ntoni? Oko kushunyayelwe ngabaninzi kulo nyaka, baya kuzikhanyela ezo zinto kuNyaka oMtsha. Ayizinzanga njengamanzi. Uninzi alwenzi nje ukuhlangana ngokwasemoyeni nangokwasemzimbeni; Hayi, babuyela emhlanzweni wabo iBhabhiloni. NgokweMizekeliso 23:23, thenga inyani ungathengisi ngayo. Xa uthengisa inyani uthengisa intambiso yakho.
Oko kubizwa ngokuba yinkcubeko kukuntywilisela nkqu nabona bakholwayo bangabona bagwetywayo. Xa ubona amanye amakholwa anyanisekileyo kuYesu Krestu, xa ejongene nemicimbi ethile yenkcubeko banokukhubeka. Ngubani owakufela uYesu Kristu okanye inkcubeko yakho? Ngokukhula kwam bendisazi ukuba ukungcwatywa kungenziwa nangaluphi na ixesha nangaliphi na ixesha kodwa ngelishwa namhlanje, ezopolitiko, inkolo kunye nenkcubeko zidibene ukugqiba ukuba zingenziwa nini. Umthwalo wezezimali ngamnye kwezi zilo zithathu zibeke ebantwini awuthelekeleli kwiimeko ezininzi. Le yimihla yokugqibela kwaye silindele imithetho emitsha kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi babantu. Sukuvumela inkcubeko isigqumelele inkolelo yakho yobuKristu. Iyakhula kwaye iza kungcolisa ukholo. Khumbula ukuba igwele elincinane libilisa intlama iphela. Jonga umonakalo owenziwa yinkcubeko, ubuhlobo kunye nobuhlanga ebandleni. Ukuba awukwazi ukuyibona ufuna ukubanjwa okwesibini koMoya oyiNgcwele. Inkcubeko engafanelekanga iyitya icawe njengemisundu kwaye uninzi luye lwalala ukuze lusebenze. Makubulelwe ke kuThixo, kuba isiseko sikaThixo simi siqinile, iNkosi iyazazi ezizezayond Timoti 2: 19-21. Phumani phakathi kwabo nizahlule, 2nd KwabaseKorinte 6: 17.
Njengokuba sisondela kule minyaka isixhenxe yokugqibela, ukuba khange singene kuyo, ubugwenxa nobungendawo buya kuba yinto yemihla ngemihla. Kodwa ke kwaBanyulwa nathi sisondela kumhla wethu womtshato. Yonke imitshato inebali lothando. Iingoma ezifundwayo zikaSolomon 2: 10-14; 1st KwabaseKorinte 13: 1-13 kunye no-1st UYohane 4: 1-21. Ezi ndawo zithetha ngothando, uthando oluvela kuThixo. Ayilulo uthando lomntu (uPhilia) kodwa uthando lukaThixo (Agape) olungenamiqathango, oluvela kuThixo. Ngelixa sasisengaboni wasifela, ngaphandle kwemeko; kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo——, Yohane 3:16. Cinga ngenqanaba lothando lukaThixo kuwe. Iya kuba nakho ukwenza uguquko kunye nokugcina ixesha lomtshato neNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu. Ufuna ukholo, ithemba kunye nothando ukwenza uguqulo; kodwa olona lukhulu uthando lukaThixo lokuba nako ukuthatha inxaxheba kuguqulelo. Sonke kufuneka sithandazele uthando lukaThixo kwaye sijonge ukukhula kwethu kuthando lukaThixo ngokuchasene ne-1st KwabaseKorinte 13: 4-7. Ixesha lifutshane.
La mandla mabi akufuneki akoyikise, kodwa qaphela ukusebenza kukaSathana kule mihla yokugqibela; ngaphambi nje kokuqeshwa ngequbuliso kunye neNkosi emoyeni. Ungawabona amaqanda erhamba abekwe kwezopolitiko, ezoqoqosho, inkolo kunye nenkcubeko (kukho iinkcubeko ezingazifihliyo okanye eziphikisanayo nelizwi likaThixo, ezinje ngokuhlonipha abadala bakho, kodwa hayi ngokuchasene nelizwi likaThixo) kwaye sele beza kuqandusela , njengoko besiya kwiArmagedon. Zihlangule, mzalwana, uhlangule udade; Ekuphela kwendlela kukujonga, ukuthobela kunye nokulandela onke amazwi kaThixo. Khumbula, eli ayilo khaya lethu. Unyaka we-2020 sele ulapha kwimihla yeentsuku, uya kuza ungaziwa kwihlabathi. Ukuzisa iingxaki, iingxaki kunye nemizabalazo. Konke ebusweni bezopolitiko, ezenkolo, ezoqoqosho, kunye neenkcubeko, iinyikima, imililo kunye nemimoya. Kodwa kuzo zonke ezi zinto, abo banentembelo kumadinga kaThixo baya kuvuka, bangabikho xesha lokulala, balungiselele, bagxile, bangaphazanyiswa, bangalibazisi, ngokuqinisekileyo bathobele onke amazwi kaThixo kwaye bahambe kuloo ndlela, uEliya wahamba emva kokuwela umlambo iJordani kwaye ngequbuliso wasiwa ezulwini. Jonga phezulu O! Nyula inganalo naliphi na ixesha ngoku kwaye siya kuyibona iNkosi yethu noThixo wethu, uYesu Krestu emoyeni njengoko ethembisile. Ngonyulo lobuthixo, hlala ulungile ayizukude.
