Iqeda Ukuthinta

Isixwayiso sokuhumusha 102 | CD # 2053

Bangaki kini abangempela, abajabule ngempela namuhla” Asiqale sinikele indumiso kuYe kulokhu ukusa. Uthanda ukudunyiswa kwakho ngaphezu kwemali yakho. Bangaki kini abakwaziyo lokho na? Amen. Ufuna imali yakho yevangeli, kodwa ufuna ukudunyiswa noma kungabikho ukushumayela. Wozani manje niMdumise! O, malibongwe iGama leNkosi! Alleluya! Nkosi, busisa abantu bakho lapha kulokhu ukusa futhi mawuthi umoya weNkosi uJesu uze phezu kwabo. Busisa ngamunye ngendlela ehlukile. Makube ngakunye, komunye nomunye wabo—into ethile enhliziyweni yabo. Futhi bonke abasha lapha namuhla, babusise. Amen. Qhubeka uhlale phansi.

Ngizothinta umlayezo lapha. Kade sishumayela kancane ngeziphrofetho, izehlakalo zesikhathi esizayo, futhi ziyafezeka. Isonto njengamanje liyindawo engcono kakhulu ongaba kuyo emhlabeni. Emhlabeni wonke—futhi ngithola izincwadi ezivela kuwo wonke umhlaba nakulo lonke elase-US—izinkinga zabantu, nalokho okwenzeka ezihlotsheni zabo, omakhelwane, nabangane. Kubonakala sengathi akukho lutho olubahambela kahle abantu namuhla. Kubukeka sengathi umoya onamanga nazo zonke izinhlobo zemimoya zidedelwa phezu kwabantu, nalo lonke uhlobo lwemimoya emibi—zonke izinhlobo zayo. Amademoni kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, yilokho okuyikho. Njengoba umhlaba wonke udidekile, kunjengoba wawushilo—ngokudideka—ukubiza ngebhayibheli, njengoba isikhathi sivala. Izilwandle namagagasi—lokho akugcini nje ngokufanekisa ulwandle, kodwa kuwuphawu lohulumeni nabantu abadidekile.

Futhi kusemhlabeni wonke manje, ukudideka osekuqalile. Ngazo zonke lezo zinkinga nezinkathazo, leli [Capstone Cathedral] lingenye yezindawo ezinhle kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngeke ukuthole lokhu noma kuphi kodwa lapha. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Ngiqonde eNkosini uJesu Kristu. Ayikho enye indawo esingaya kuyo ngaphandle kweNkosi uJesu Kristu. Futhi yilokho okudingayo namuhla. Hlala Naye. UngaMthukululi. Uma uqala kuye, qala kahle futhi uhlale eduze noJehova futhi ngokuqinisekile uzokubusisa zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakho. Uyodlula kukho konke ukugula, ukulingwa, futhi akuphulukise, futhi akubusise. Uzokubona kukho konke. Ngakho, ngakho konke ukudideka nezinkinga namuhla, yeka ukuthi indlu kaJehova iyindawo enhle kangakanani! Uma nje uqhubekela phambili esikhathini esizayo, iminyaka embalwa futhi ukwazi ukubuka lokho okuzokwenzeka emhlabeni—futhi ngiba nelungelo elikhethekile lokubona okunye kwakho—uyosho enhliziyweni yakho ngokuphindwe kashumi kulokho okuzwayo. namhlanje ekuseni—O, bekukuhle ukuba sendlini kaNkulunkulu! Bheka; kodwa anazi ukuthi yini ephambi kwenu futhi abantu bomhlaba abakwazi, futhi ngisho nangemva kokuba konke sekuphelile futhi ubonakala ubheka emuva ekuhumusheni futhi iNkosi ikunika ukuphila okuphakade, o, ukunqoba namuhla kuzomenyezwa, ngiyakutshela! Kuyoba umuzwa nje ocishe wahlehlisa umuzi wonke ngenxa yezinhliziyo zenu. INkosi ithanda ukukholwa futhi ithanda abantu abayithanda ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.

Manje kulokhu ukusa ngizoshumayela futhi uma nginesikhathi esincane esisele, ngizozama ukukhulekela abanye benu. Uma ngingenaso isikhathi, nginenkonzo yesimangaliso ekhethekile yokuphilisa kulobubusuku. Angikhathali noma odokotela sebekuyekile lokho abakushilo akwenzi mehluko ngoba siyakwazi ukufakazela ukuthi lezo x-ray ziyiphutha emva komthandazo. Noma ngabe ushona noma ngabe yisiphi isimo; umdlavuza, akwenzi mehluko eNkosini. Uma ulapha kulobubusuku ngokukholwa okuncane enhliziyweni yakho, ukukhanya kuzokhanya ngaphakathi kuwe okuvela emandleni kaNkulunkulu futhi uzothola ukuphulukiswa. Kodwa kudinga ukukholwa, ngokukholwa okuncane futhi uNkulunkulu uzokubusisa.

Manje lentshumayelo lapha, niyazi, angikholwa ukuthi ngake ngashumayela kusukela kulentshumayelo lapha empilweni yami. Ngike ngayithinta idlula kwezinye izintshumayelo, kodwa angikholwa ukuthi ngikhethe isahluko ukuze ngicacise kuso. Ngike ngathinta izintshumayelo eziningi kodwa angikaze ngishumayele ngaleyo ndaba ezintshumayelweni eziningi. Kodwa ngivele ngiholelwe kulokhu, kulokhu ukusa, futhi ngizoshumayela ngakho kancanyana lapha. Lalelisisa. Senginqumile—iNkosi yathuthela kimi—Ukuthinta Okuqedayo. Ekupheleni kwenkathi kuzoba nokuthinta okuqedayo kubantu baKhe. Uyazi into ethile ilukhuni, kodwa yilokho okubalulekile, ukuthinta kokuqeda. Lendaba imayelana nenkosi eyaqala kahle impela neNkosi, kodwa yangena enkathazweni ekupheleni konyaka wayo, niyabo? Futhi kwakuyotholakala ukuhlakanipha nolwazi.

Ungaqala ukufunda eyesi-2 IziKronike 15:2-7. Iveza ukubaluleka kokuthi ugcina kanjani. Ukungabaza noma ukukholwa, kungaba yini lapho uphetha ngokuphila kwakho? Futhi le nkosi yayinombono othembisayo. Ngakho, sizoqala ukuyifunda. Uyazi, ungazibala izinto esahlukweni uma ungena nje emthandazweni futhi ulinde umzuzu, uNkulunkulu uzokwambulela. Ngakho, siqala ukufunda lapha: “Futhi uMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kuka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi (v.1). Manje lalelisisani ngempela. Wakusho lokhu ngenhloso futhi wayeqonde ukukusho kanje, futhi uma ufunda lokhu, uzokwazi ukuthi wafika washo kanje ku-Asa. “Waphuma ukuyohlangabeza u-Asa, wathi kuye: “Ngizweni, Asa, noJuda wonke noBenjamini; INkosi inani, nina nina; uma nimfuna, uyakufunyanwa yinina” (v.2). Ubuwazi yini ukuthi kunini uma ufuna uJehova angeke uthi awukamtholi uJehova? Ukhona. Futhi ekufuneni kwenu, nizomthola, uma nimfuna ngenhliziyo yenu. Manje, uma uzomfuna nje ngenxa yelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi futhi uqala ukufuna iNkosi ngokungazenzisi—kodwa uma uhlose ibhizinisi noJehova futhi uzimisele ngakho, uyomthola uNkulunkulu. Ukukholwa kwakho kuzokutshela khona lapho ukuthi umtholile Yena. Ungasho ukuthi Amen?

Abantu abaningi balokhu befuna uNkulunkulu futhi usevele enabo. Ingabe kukhona okufundile ngalokho? Akahambi. Akezi. UyiNkosi. Lawo magama siwasebenzisa ngokuza nokuhamba, kodwa iNkosi ayiyi ndawo futhi ayinakusuka ndawo. Konke kungaphakathi Kwakhe. Angikhathali ukuthi udalani, mkhulu kunakho. Naye mncane kunayo. Asikho isikhala noma ubukhulu bokuqukatha uNkulunkulu. UnguMoya. Unyakaza yonke indawo futhi Akafiki, futhi Akahambi. Ungena ngezindlela ezehlukene futhi uyavela anyamalale ngokusho kwethu. Kodwa Usezingeni, niyabo? Ngakho-ke, uma ufuna uNkulunkulu, usevele enawe. Igama elilahliwe kungaba ukuthi Usekhona, Wavele wavala ukuthinta noma akhulume nawe ngaso leso sikhathi. Kodwa iNkosi ayifiki futhi ayihambi. Angikhathali izigidigidi zeminyaka emkhathini, izigidigidi zeminyaka kusukela manje, futhi uma weqa ekubaleni futhi ungena ezintweni zokomoya ezedlula lapho, Ukhona lapho edala. Ukhona lapha ekuseni. Ukimi. Ngiyamuzwa futhi Ukhona lapha. Angaba ngezigidigidi zeminyaka yokukhanya kude. Lokho akwenzi mehluko. Konke kungaphakathi kweNkosi ayidalile. UnguNkulunkulu Onamandla. Futhi Angehla futhi Aziphilise kumzimba wenyama njengoba nje ngilapha kulokhu ukusa, ngomuntu onjengoMesiya: Futhi Angakhuluma kini kanjalo ngenkathi Edala imihlaba nje. Bazibona bedalwa emazulwini ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Ngakho, unguNkulunkulu omatasatasa futhi uyasebenza. Kodwa akakaze abe matasa kakhulu ukuba ezwe yonke imithandazo yezigidi zabantu emhlabeni. Akumangalisi yini lokho? Phakamisani ukukholwa kwenu, isho iNkosi. Okukhulu nakakhulu kunalokho okukhulunywe lapha ekuseni! Oh, Alleluya! Kodwa mkhulu! Futhi ngakho, nangu eza, “…INkosi inani, nina nibe nayo; futhi uma nimfuna, uyotholwa yinina; kepha uma nimshiya, naye uyakunishiya” ( 2 IziKronike 15:2 ). Manje lalela lokhu lapha. Isihluthulelo semfihlakalo—abantu abaningi abaqondi ukuthi kwenzekeni lapha futhi uma ubukhali ngempela lapha ekuseni, uzothola ukuthi kungani lowo mprofethi ephumele lapha futhi wakhuluma ngaleyo nkosi. Lapho iNkosi ikhuluma okokuqala njengoba u-Eliya ayevame ukukhuluma noma u-Elisha ekhuluma namakhosi noma ngabe kwakuyini—ukuqala ukubalula—kwakusho okuthile. Futhi uzothola ukuthi kungasho okuthile ngomzuzwana lapha. Ngakho, inkosi yezwa. Lesi yisihluthulelo semfihlakalo—lokho okwakhulunywa yilomprofethi lapha. “Sekuyisikhathi eside u-Israyeli engenaye uNkulunkulu weqiniso, engenaye umpristi ofundisayo, engenamthetho; Kepha kwathi ekuhluphekeni kwabo baphendukela kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bamfuna, wafunyanwa yibo” (amavesi 3 & 4). Ezinkingeni zabo—futhi namuhla abantu abaningi bafuna uNkulunkulu lapho bengena enkingeni. Lapho bephuma enkingeni, abayidingi iNkosi. Umzenzisi lowo. Bangaki kini abakwaziyo lokho na? Lokho kwakungukuphefumulelwa kukaMoya oNgcwele khona lapho. Angikaze ngikucabange lokho.

Kufanele uhlale neNkosi. Ngamanye amazwi, engikushoyo ukuthi bakhuluma into eyodwa futhi benza enye. Kufanele uthande uJehova ngaso sonke isikhathi, usebunzimeni, osizini, ekulingweni, nasezilingweni, noma ngabe ukuphi. Anginendaba noma ucabanga ukuthi uphansi, usamthanda uNkulunkulu. Ungamane ubheke kuNkulunkulu usebunzimeni. Uma uphuma ezinkingeni, bheka uNkulunkulu, usebunzimeni nasosizini. Nika iNkosi udumo lwayo. Mnike ukubonga futhi uzokubuyisela phakathi. Uzokusiza. Kodwa abantu abaningi abakwazi lokho. Bambelela Kuye futhi umdumise kungakhathaliseki ukuthi hlobo luni lwezinkinga, izilingo nezilingo, kufanele ukwenze lokhu ekugcineni. Ukucelile ukuthi ukwenze ekugcineni futhi ngiyakutshela-ngifundisa- namhlanje ekuseni ukuthi iNkosi izoba nawe uma nje ukhala Kuye futhi unaYe. Akunandaba ukuthi inkathazo yakho iyini, akunandaba ukuthi isivivinyo sakho siyini, Ukhona lapho. Lokho kungase kube nzima kwabanye abantu lapha. Kungahle kube nzima kwabanye abantu bebandla, kodwa ngikhulume iqiniso kulokhu ukusa. Unawe enkingeni nasebunzimeni, futhi ungamkhohlwa. Ungasho yini ukuthi dumisa iNkosi?

Ngakho, basenkingeni, babuya begijima. U-Israyeli wayevame ukwenza lokho. Ngemva kwalokho babegijimela ezithombeni. Futhi babekhonza izithixo ezindala zoBhali, futhi bafike phambi kwezithombe, futhi benze izinto ezesabekayo lapho, nabantwana babo. Zonke izinhlobo zezinto zazizokwenzeka. Khona-ke masinya nje isizukulwane sasizodlula noma okuthize, babebuya begijima bebuyela kuNkulunkulu, Wayezothumela umprofethi omkhulu—emuva naphambili kanjalo ngaleyo minyaka, kodwa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ayikho indlela. Esikubonayo nje ukwahlulela—futhi izikhathi eziningi sizwa okwenzeka kubo kamuva. Kodwa amakhulu eminyaka ngezinye izikhathi amakhulu amaningi eminyaka ngempela ngaphambi kokuba Alethe isahlulelo esinzima phezu kwabantu. Abantu bayehluleka ukubona umusa wangempela wokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu—ukukhulekela izithixo ngemva kokuba sebezwile uNkulunkulu, abaprofethi Bakhe njalo njalo futhi babeyobuya babe nezithombe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Kodwa ezinkingeni zabo babuyela eNkosini. Khona-ke ivesi 7 lisho lokhu lapha: “Ngakho-ke qinani, izandla zenu mazingadangali, ngokuba umsebenzi wenu uyakuba nomvuzo.”— 2 IziKronike 15:7 . Bheka; noma yini ozoyenzela uNkulunkulu, ungabi buthakathaka. Akunjalo?

Umsebenzi wami uvuzwa iNkosi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngihlala emandleni alemibhalo futhi ngiyazi ukuthi uma ngiletha lemibhalo kubantu bayokhululwa. Akukhathalekile ukuthi bangaki abangithandayo noma abangithandayo—ngoba nabo ngeke bathande uJesu—kodwa okubalulekile imiphefumulo eyigugu ekwaziyo ukungena eZwini likaNkulunkulu leqiniso futhi ezohunyushwa. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Uthola ugcobo wenele futhi ngeke uthandwe. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Mfana! Lokho kubeka isilingo kubo. Ngiyakutshela njengamanje, yilolo gcobo futhi luzokwenza umsebenzi wenziwe kahle. Ngiqonde ukuthi izokwenza. Amen. Ngakho-ke, qina futhi Uzovuza umsebenzi wakho. Ubufakazi bami siqu—bungaphezu kwamandla akwenzile uNkulunkulu empilweni yami. Angikaze ngikubone okufana nalokhu Akwenzile. Ngamane ngenza lokho Athi ngikwenze futhi kwasebenza njengomlingo. Kodwa kwakungewona umlingo, kwakunguMoya oNgcwele. Kwakukuhle kakhulu, kumangalisa kakhulu! Kodwa ngike ngahlolwa. Ngiye ngabhekana nezilingo enkonzweni. Amandla kaSathane azozama noma yini angayenza ukuze angivimbele ekuletheni umlayezo kubantu. Kodwa konke kuyinani elincane ongalikhokha ukuletha ngempela ivangeli kubantu bakaNkulunkulu nokubajabulisa ngezinto ezikhazimulayo ezisembusweni kaNkulunkulu, futhi bayakhazimula. Amen. Kuningi esikuzwayo ngomhlaba, izinjabulo zomhlaba. O! Akukangeni ngisho enhliziyweni yakho, emphefumulweni wakho lokho uNkulunkulu anakho ngawe! Kodwa Uzovuza umsebenzi wakho. Yilokho ukuthinta kokuqeda kusho iNkosi. HHhawu kodwa! Akumangalisi yini lokho!

Kulungile, ngeke kube yinde kakhulu intshumayelo. Angicabangi ukuthi ngehle kahle lapha. Nakhu okwenzekile. Inkosi yayizimisele ngempela enhliziyweni yayo futhi yayizokwenza okuthile. Kodwa uyazi, uPawulu wayengathi wayengenazimpande. Wayezimisele ngempela kukhona ayezokwenza. “Bangena esivumelwaneni sokufuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo” ( IziKronike 15:12 ). Babenesiphithiphithi sokubuyela kuNkulunkulu enkingeni yabo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani, babemfuna ngempela uNkulunkulu. BabeMfuna ngendlela ababengakaze bamfune ngayo ngaphambili. Futhi ngiyabona kulesisizwe, ezinye zalezizinsuku, bazobhekana nakho. Buka lokhu lapha. Kuthi lapha: “Ukuthi yilowo nalowo ongayikumfuna uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli makabulawe, omncane noma omkhulu, owesilisa noma owesifazane” (v. 13). Babenezithombe, kodwa manje base bezobulala wonke umuntu ongamkhonzi uNkulunkulu. Bathi ukudlula ibhalansi. INkosi ayilokothi yenze noma yini [njengaleyo]. Kufana nenkululeko yengqondo nokuzikhethela. Sithola ukuthi ekupheleni kwesikhathi bazongena emoyeni onjalo wenkolo nepolitiki. Uma nifuna ukuyifunda, kuseSambulweni 13. Ekugcineni, bakhipha isigwebo sokufa. Abanayo ngisho nemfundiso efanele yeNkosi uJesu Kristu. Laba bantu khona lapha—bekubonisa ukuthi kwakungeke kuphele kahle—ngokushisekela kwabo nakho konke abakwenzayo, ngokusobala balahla yonke into futhi babefuna ukumfuna ngenhliziyo yabo yonke, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo. “Ukuthi yilowo nalowo ongayikumfuna uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli makabulawe, omncane noma omkhulu, owesilisa noma owesifazane.” Noma ngabe ingane encane noma qha, akwenzanga mehluko kubo. Babezofuna uNkulunkulu futhi baphume kulolu bishi. Ngiyacabanga ngenkathi lokho kuphuma bonke bafuna iNkosi. Kulungile. Kulungile, kukhona lapho.

Futhi-ke khona lapha, kuqhubekela phambili lapha—iqiniso lebhizinisi laliwukuthi unina wenkosi nguye owayesesihlalweni sobukhosi. Ngokuvamile, owesifazane wayengahlali esihlalweni sobukhosi. Sike saba noDeborah nabaningana babo ebhayibhelini. Benqaba ukuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli. Kwakuwumsebenzi wamadoda ngaleso sikhathi. UNkulunkulu wayeyobaletha inkosi futhi yayihlala lapho. Ngakho, unina wayeqhwakele futhi wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi lapho. Nokho yamehlisa unina esihlalweni sobukhosi, yamsusa endleleni, yathatha isihlalo sobukhosi. Lensizwa yenza ngoba yayinezithixo esihlahleni yazigawula. Kodwa kude le kude, akazange azilahle zonke izithixo. Ngikutshela indaba ngoba yehlela lapha. Wabe esehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi futhi ithi lapha: “Kepha izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga kwa-Israyeli, nokho inhliziyo yenkosi yayiphelele zonke izinsuku zayo” (2 IziKronike 15:17). Manje lowombhalo weza kanjani? Ithi wayephelele ezinsukwini ayenoNkulunkulu. Manje, hhayi ezinsukwini esiphila kuzo phansi komusa naphansi kukaMoya oNgcwele. Wayengaphili njengathi namuhla. Kodwa kuleso sizukulwane ngokwalokho abantu ababekwenzile futhi ngokuvumelana nalokho okwakukhona ngaleso sikhathi, kwakubhekwa ukuthi inhliziyo yakhe yayiphelele phambi kukaJehova ezinsukwini zakhe.

Manje, sifika lapha. Buka ushintsho. Kwase kufika kuye umprofethi ku-2 IziKronike 16 ivesi 7: “Ngaleso sikhathi uHanani umboni weza ku-Asa inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi kuye: “Ngokuba wethembele enkosini yase-Aramu, ungancikanga kuJehova. uNkulunkulu wakho, ngalokho ibutho lenkosi yase-Asiriya liphunyukile esandleni sakho.” Manje inkinga yakhe wayesenqena ukuthi aqale afune uJehova futhi akafuni nokwelula isandla abambe uJehova. Yaqala yahlala phansi iNkosi. Khona-ke waqala ukuthembela emakhosini esikhundleni sikaJehova ukuba anqobe izimpi zakhe. Nabaprofethi baqala ukuvela, omunye, futhi baqala ukukhuluma naye lapha. Waqala ukuthembela kumuntu hhayi eNkosini. Siyabona ukuthi ukuwa kwakhe sekumisiwe. Sekuqala ukushuba manje ukuthi kuzokwenzekani. “AmaKushe namaLubi ayengeyona yini impi enkulu, enezinqola nabamahhashi abaningi kakhulu? nokho, ngokuba wethembele kuJehova, wabanikela esandleni sakho” (v.8). Onke lawo mabandla amakhulu, uJehova wanikhulula esandleni sawo; manje nithembele kumuntu ukuba alwe izimpi zenu, animfunanga uJehova,” kusho umprofethi.

Bese kuthi-ke nakhu okwenzeka lapha. Ithi lapha, lo umbhalo omuhle. Ngike ngacaphuna lena futhi, kanye nezinye ezimbalwa lapha: “Ngokuba amehlo kaJehova aqalaza emhlabeni wonke ukuba azibonakalise enamandla ngenxa yalabo abanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuyo. Wenzé ubuwula ngalokhu: ngakho kusukela manje uzakuba nezimpi” (indima 9). Bheka; Amehlo akhe okusho uMoya oNgcwele futhi agijima aye emuva naphambili kuwo wonke umhlaba. Amehlo akhe ayagijima futhi Uhamba nalawo mehlo abheke yonke indawo. Yileyondlela umprofethi akunika ngayo—ukuzibonakalisa eqinile. “Wenzé ngobuwula ngalokhu; ngakho-ke kusukela manje uzakuba nezimpi.” Bheka; waqala ngokuphelele eNkosini. UNkulunkulu wayezombeka izimpi ngenxa yobuwula bakhe. Izikhathi eziningi uma isizwe siqala ukona sifulathela uJehova, ibhayibheli lithi izimpi ziyofika phezu kwaso. Lesi sizwe siye sabhekana nezimpi ezimbi ezimbi hhayi kuphela ngeMpi Yombango, ngenxa yesono, kodwa nangenxa yezimpi zomhlaba nazo zonke izinkinga esiye sabhekana nazo phesheya kwezilwandle nokunye. Isizwe, ingxenye yabo izama ukuphendukela kuNkulunkulu kanti enye isuka ngokuphelele eNkosini. Singakubona nsuku zonke. Kuzoba nezimpi eziningi emhlabeni futhi ekugcineni, ngenxa yesono, ngenxa yezithixo, futhi ukuhlubuka lesi sizwe kuyodingeka simashe siye e-Armagedoni eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Sibona njengamanje uhlobo oluthile lokubuka kuqala ezinye zezinto ezizokwenzeka ngolunye lwalezi zinsuku ngisho nangemva kokuba sebesayine isivumelwano sabo esisha sokuthula.

Kodwa izimpi—futhi ngenxa yokuthi wayethembele kumuntu ( 2 IziKronike 16:9 ). Namuhla, bangaki abake baqaphela ukuthi sebeqala ukuthembela kakhulu kangakanani kumuntu kukho konke abakwenzayo esikhundleni seNkosi? Abanayo imishini kagesi. Banamakhompyutha. Ngifunde isihloko isikhathi eside. Namuhla abenzi ngendlela efanele. Bathembele kumuntu ukuba abe nezingane zabo esikhundleni somyeni wabo nokunye. Angifuni ukungena kulokho ekuseni. Ukuthembela kukho konke ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu nemvelo. Abanalo uthando lwemvelo. Ngakho-ke izimpi ziyofika kuye [u-Asa]. “U-Asa wamthukuthelela umboni, wamfaka etilongweni; ngoba wayemthukuthelele ngenxa yale nto. U-Asa wacindezela abanye abantu ngaso leso sikhathi” ( ivesi 10 ). Wamthukuthelela, wamthukuthelela [umboni/umprofethi] ngenxa yale nto. Bheka; esikhathini esedlule, nginitshelile ngalokho kugcotshwa. Lapho izinto zingahambi kahle, ngihlala ngisolwa. Ikude nebanga lapho ishaya—kufana ne-laser uma iwashaya. Mfowethu, kuzobuyisela lowodeveli. Akukho okunye kodwa ugcobo neZwi likaNkulunkulu okuyombuyisela emuva. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Izomsusa lapho. Kujule kakhulu, indlela uNkulunkulu enza ngayo izinto, kodwa ngiyazi njalo. Ngiyazi ukuthi kwenzekani.

Amabutho kasathane kulomhlaba azozama ukunivimba nina bantu ukuthi ningaklonyeliswa kodwa kunomvuzo ngamunye wenu. Ungakukhohlwa. Ngakho, wayemthukuthelele. Umprofethi ogcotshiweyo wema phambi kwakhe wamtshela ukuthi wayenephutha futhi uyisiwula enhliziyweni yakhe. Manje kukhona umehluko kubaprofethi. U-Eliya wenyukela phambi kuka-Ahabi futhi wamtshela ukuthi (1 AmaKhosi 17: 1. 21: 18-25). Nakuba uJezebeli amgijimisa isikhashana wabuya futhi ngamandla kaJehova. Abaprofethi bagijima bathi; bakhuluma lokho uNkulunkulu akubeka lapho ngoba amandla omprofethi—amandla ogcobo—cishe akuphushele lapho futhi akwenze kucace kuye. Akakwazi ukuhlehla. Kufanele akubeke kahle ukuthi kunjani. Wasesithi umprofethi, Uyisithutha enhliziyweni yakho. Akugcini lapho, nizoba nezimpi. Kusenjalo wamfaka ejele. Inkosi yathukuthela ( 2 IziKronike 16:10 ). Avele acasuka amadimoni lapho abhoke ngolaka. Khumbula uMikhaya lapho enyukela phambi kwenkosi [u-Ahabi]. Lapho ema phambi kwenkosi, yamtshela ukuthi nizokwenyuka nifele empini (1 AmaKhosi 22:10-28). Ithi [uZedekiya] yamshaya ngempama inkosi yamnika isinkwa namanzi, yamfaka lapho [etilongweni]. Abaprofethi bakhe, ababenamanga, benemimoya yamanga bathi kuye, qhubeka, uyakuyinqoba impi. Kodwa umprofethi wathi, “Cha, uma ebuya, angikhulumanga lutho. akasayikubuya” (indima 28). Bamfaka etilongweni, kepha akwenzanga lutho. U-Ahabi waya empini futhi akabuyanga. Bangaki kini abakwaziyo lokho na? Wafa njengoba nje umprofethi ayeshilo.

Ngakho, umprofethi wangena lapho futhi wathi uyisiwula enhliziyweni yakho. Ngakho, wavutha ngolaka wamfaka ejele. Wacindezela abanye abantu ngesikhathi esifanayo (2 IziKronike 16: 10). Futhi siqala ukuthola ukuthi kwenzekani lapha. “U-Asa ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe waba nesifo ezinyaweni zakhe, isifo sakhe saze saba sikhulu kakhulu; nokho esifeni sakhe akafunanga uJehova, kepha izinyanga” (2 IziKronike 16:12). Akazange afune ngisho neNkosi. Nithi, yayingenzeka kanjani inkosi eyamiswa nguNkulunkulu, nokho lapho igula ezinyaweni zayo, ayizange ifune ngisho nakancane uNkulunkulu na? Ngokusobala, wayefuna ukwenza kanjalo. Yamcasukela impela iNkosi. Awukwazi ukuthukuthela uNkulunkulu. Bangaki kini abakwaziyo lokho na? Ayikho indlela engenzeka yokuba [inkosi] iwine. Manje othile wathi kungani emhlabeni? UNkulunkulu enomusa kakhulu kuye, iNkosi imthumelela umprofethi kuye ethi uyohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi—futhi wayephelele enhliziyweni yakhe ngaleso sikhathi—futhi uJehova wamthatha futhi wamnikeza okwakudingeka, futhi wavuza umsebenzi wakhe, futhi wamsiza lapho. Kungani aphendukela ezinyangeni futhi akazange amfune uJehova?

Ake sizwe ukuthi kwenzekani kuye. Ngicabanga ukuthi sizowuthola ukhiye lapho sijika kwesokudla sibuyela lapho saqala khona futhi siya kweyesi-2 IziKronike 15:2 : “UJehova unani, kuyilapho ninaye; futhi uma nimfuna, uyotholwa yinina; kepha uma nimshiya, uyakunishiya nani.” Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Yilokho okwenzeka kuye. Esafuna uJehova, wafunyanwa nguye. Kodwa wayeyishiyile iNkosi ngendlela yokuthi akezi ngisho eNkosini ukuzophulukiswa. Ibhayibheli lithi akafunanga uJehova ukuba amphulukise, kodwa wafuna izinyanga. Lapho ekwenza lokho, iBhayibheli lasho ngale ndlela: “Bamngcwaba emathuneni akhe.”—2 IziKronike 16:14. Yilokho okwenzeka kuye. Manje, ukuqala kahle - ukuthinta kokuqeda yilokho okubalulekile. Kuyakhokha ukuqala kahle eNkosini futhi njengoba enza futhi kuyakhokha ukuthi isandla seNkosi siphakathi lapho. Kodwa okuzobalwa empilweni yakho kamoya—phakathi kwalokho uzoba nezilingo zakho, uzoba nezilingo zakho, uzoba nokungabaza kwakho, uzoba nokucasuka kwakho kanye nezinto ezahlukene ezifana nalezo—lezo zinto zizokuqinisa uma ubamba. eZwini leNkosi. Lezo zivivinyo nezivivinyo zizoletha amandla kuwe. Kepha okuzobalwa kukho konke lokho ekugcineni - ukuthinta kokuqeda - yilokho okubalulekile. Uqale kahle, kodwa akagcinanga kahle. Ngakho, nonke nina nonke enilapha kulokhu ukusa, okuzobalwa empilweni yenu ukuthi nigcina kanjani kanye nendlela enibambelela ngayo [ku] lokho uNkulunkulu akushilo. Ngakho-ke, kuwukuthinta kokuphothula empilweni yakho yena [inkosi] ayengenakho. Ukuthintwa kokuqeda. Yilapho umvuzo uyovela khona. Ngakho-ke, masiqedele kahle. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Futhi yilokho umsebenzi wami oyikho: ukupholisha lokhu, ukukulungisela iNkosi, nawo impela ukuthinta kokuqeda kweNkosi lapha, futhi sizokwenza lokho.

Lalela khona lapha—odokotela khona lapha. Manje, ngizoveza iphuzu lapha. Kulesi sikhathi esiphila kuso, ezimeni eziphuthumayo lapho abantu—[kubonakala] sengathi—benze konke abangakwenza, bafuna uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke indlela abangakwazi ngayo, kuzodingeka baye kodokotela. Kwesinye isikhathi baya kohlolwa, ukuze bathole umshwalense nezinye izinto ezahlukene. Akukhona lokho iNkosi ekhuluma ngakho lapha. Lo mfo akazange amfune ngisho nalutho uNkulunkulu. Bangaki kini abaqaphelayo ukuthi ekupheleni kwesikhathi sinezinhlelo ezehlukene manje eziya kuleyo ndlela? Ngeke ngiwasho amagama kodwa ekupheleni kwesikhathi kuzovela ukuthi bayofuna odokotela kunokukholwa okufanele kuhambisane nakho. Kuhlala kulula ngoba ngeke baphile impilo yakhona. Kodwa abantu kufanele bafune uJehova ngenhliziyo yabo yonke kuqala. Bangaki kini abakwaziyo lokho na? Bese-ke unokungakholwa ezweni nalabobantu abampofu abazi-abanalo iZwi likaNkulunkulu, abaningi babo. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu uyabavumela odokotela ukuba basize labo abasezinhlungwini. Bayahlupheka laphaya. Kodwa leyo akuyona indlela kaNkulunkulu. Lokho kuvumelekile kwabanye babo abangamazi uNkulunkulu noma bazokufa, ngiyacabanga. Kodwa indlela Yakhe yangempela yile: Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu, futhi zonke lezi zinto niyozenezelelwa, isho iNkosi (Mathewu 6:33). Akunjalo? Ngakho, abantu ngesikhathi sezimo eziphuthumayo, abanakho ukukhetha ngezinye izikhathi; izinto zenzeka kanjalo. Ngifuna ukukutshela lapha: Hlola ukukholwa kwakho kuqala futhi ubone ukuthi kumi kuphi noNkulunkulu. Beka Yena kuqala. Mnike ithuba lokuqala ongakwazi ngalo, mnike iNkosi ngaphambi kokuba wenze noma yini. Khona-ke uma ungakwazi ukulungisa ukholo lwakho noma inkinga yakho, kufanele wenze okufanele ukwenze.

Ngizokhipha okuthile. Ngokomthetho, ngithandazela abantu abaningi lapha phezulu futhi kusemthethweni futhi. Ngiyabakhulekela ukuba baphulukiswe ngesimangaliso futhi ziningi izimangaliso ezenzeka lapha, kodwa angifanele ukusebenzisa inkonzo yami ukuvimbela umuntu, ngamanye amazwi, ukukhuluma omunye ukuba aye ndawana thize ebe engenakho ukukholwa. Uma bengenalo ukholo, bangaya lapho befuna ukuya khona futhi bazenzele esabo isinqumo—sengiqedile ngaso. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Kwakukhona icala esikhathini esithile emuva. Lokhu ngikuveza ngoba iminyaka izophela ngendlela exakile. Ngesinye isikhathi, ungqongqoshe—izikhathi eziningi lokhu kwenzeke kuleli zwe. Kwenzeka isikhashana emuva—ngiqagele kwakungumfundisi owayezisholo nje kodwa nokho wayenolwazi oluncane ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyaphilisa. Wayenelungu lakhe futhi umuntu wayebhekene nenkinga yengqondo nezilingo. Abazali bakhe babengamaKatolika. Lomfundisi wathi, “Asibambelele kuNkulunkulu, mina nawe.” Bheka; uma umfundisi engenalo lolohlobo lokukholwa, uzongena enkathazweni ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngiyazi ngokholo nangamandla ami, okunye akwenzeki [into engenzeki], izenzela ngoba ngiyazi ngeke uzame ukwelapha abantu uma bengenalo ukholo. Wenza konke ongakwenza futhi ngizokukhuthaza [ngenhliziyo] yami yonke futhi ngizokuthandazela. Leyo yindlela kaNkulunkulu. Ayikho enye indlela, kimi. Leyo yindlela yeNkosi. Yileyo ndlela efanele. Ngakho-ke okwenzeka lapha ukuthi wayelokhu emtshela ukuthi angayi kofuna usizo. Abazali bayisebenzisa njengezaba. Ekugcineni akakwazanga ukumenzela lutho lo mfo, nokho bathi umvimbile ukuthi athole usizo. Ngakho, umfo wazibulala; wazibulala. Kwase kuthi-ke abazali ababengamaKhatholika baphenduka futhi bammangalela, kanye nenhlangano, kanye nohlelo lwemali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezimbili noma ezintathu zamaRandi kulesosimo.

Ngiveza leli phuzu lapha lokuthi ngesinye isikhathi ungibone ngithandazela umuntu. Ngiyabakhulekela ngokukholwa, kepha angikhulumi muntu ngalutho uma bengenalo ukukholwa. Kodwa uma benokholo, ngizobagcoba, ngishumayele, ngibatshele ngobuqotho futhi ngiyobatshela lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo. Ngokuqondene nalokho, uma bengenalo ukholo, bangakwazi ukuzenzela isinqumo. Bangaki kini ababona indlela abahlele ngayo lokhu e-United States? Yilokho okwenzekayo kule United States of America. Bahlela lokho ukuzama ukuvimbela ukuphulukiswa okuthile okuqhubekayo. Kodwa uJehova uyophilisa abagulayo futhi uJehova uyothulula izimangaliso aze athi sekwanele. Wathi, “Hamba utshele leyompungushe. Ngenza izimangaliso namuhla nakusasa, nakusasa, kuze kufike isikhathi sami” (Luka 13:32). Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Ngakho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi mingaki imithetho abayishayayo ukuze bathole ukubamba okujulile futhi bethuse abantu ngokumangalela, uNkulunkulu uzoqhubeka nabaprofethi Bakhe. INkosi izohamba ngokugcotshwa kwayo futhi ibusise abantu bayo. Le ntshumayelo ingase ixake namuhla, kodwa inqobo nje uma ngifika kuleyo ngxenye yayo, ngabona kuwukuhlakanipha nolwazi ukukuvezela yona. Empilweni yakho uma ubona abantu bengenakho ukukholwa baqhubeke njalo bakhulekele ngenhliziyo bavumele bathathe isinqumo wena ubambelele kuNkulunkulu ngomthandazo. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Kunjalo impela! Kuningi ukuhlakanipha nolwazi kulokhu namuhla. Ngiyazi ukuthi abadlali abambalwa bangene enkingeni enkulu. Futhi, emsamo ngiyabathandazela futhi ngiyabatshela ukuthi benze lokho ofuna ukukwenza ngalokho, futhi ngokuvamile izikhathi eziningi ngiye ngabatshela ukuthi baye ekhaya futhi bakhumule ababenakho. Baphulukisiwe. Bayikhumula, bephulukiswa ngesimangaliso sikaNkulunkulu.

Kuze kube manje ungahamba kulo mhlaba wezomthetho, kodwa ungabathandazela abantu. Ungacela uNkulunkulu ukuba abaphulukise namanje. Kodwa ngikholwa ukuthi ngolunye lwalezi zinsuku emva kokuthululwa noma phakathi nalokhu, kukhona amandla anjalo avela eNkosini futhi ngendlela enamandla kangangokuthi uSathane uzozama zonke izinyathelo ukuvimba lowo makoti ukuba aphume. Kodwa ake nginitshele okuthize: angeke esakwazi ukuvimba lowomlobokazi ukuba aphume njengoba engase aphenduke abe [yingelosi] yoqobo kaNkulunkulu. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? INkosi yanginika lokho. UNkulunkulu ukulungisile lokho. Akasoze ajika njengengelosi kaNkulunkulu. Bangaki kini abaziyo ukuthi akasoze avimba umakoti? Futhi akakwazi ukukumisa lokho kuvuka. INkosi yangena lapho futhi uSathane wathi: "Nginike isidumbu sikaMose lapha." Futhi iNkosi yathi, “UJehova makakukhuze (Jude v.9). Ngikhombisa abantu ukuthi ekupheleni kwezwe aniyikuyithatha imizimba yabangcwele” Udumo kuNkulunkulu! “Uma ngithi phumani kulelo thuna—Wamngcwaba lapho okwakungatholakali muntu khona. Ngikholwa ukuthi Wamkhulisa futhi wamyisa kwenye indawo. Ngempela ngiyakwenza. UNkulunkulu uyimfihlakalo futhi unamandla kakhulu. Unesizathu salokho. Sithola izindawo eziningana eTestamenteni Elidala nakuJude lapho iNgelosi Enkulu uMikayeli yayilapho. Wathi, “INkosi mayikukhuze. Wathi, “Nginike lowomzimba” wayesethi, “Cha” futhi iNkosi yamvusa. UNkulunkulu wamkhipha. Niyawabona lawomathuna nabo bonke abasemhlabeni abafela eNkosini uJesu Kristu? Ake ngikutshele okuthile: lapho Ethi, “Phuma—mina ngingukuvuka nokuphila,” uSathane uwile ngokuphelele. Akakwazanga ngisho ukumisa iNkosi uJesu Kristu lapho, ngisho neNkosi yafa, yavele yakwenza konke, yavuswa yiyo uqobo. Uthi Amen? Futhi ngakho Uzobakhipha futhi bayophuma. USathane ngeke akuyeke lokho.

Futhi inguqulo—u-Eliya no-Enoke—wazama ukuvimbela ukuhumusha. Womabili la madoda ahunyushwa futhi ahamba, kusho ibhayibheli. Ukukubonisa ukuthi ngeke akuvimbele ukuhumusha. Ngeke avimbe ukuvuka. UNkulunkulu ukwenzile futhi uSathane akakwazanga ukukwenza. Wayengeke akwenze ngaleso sikhathi. Kodwa uzofaka ingcindezi. Uzosebenzisa amandla akhe ukuvimbela umlobokazi weNkosi uJesu ukuba angaphumi. Uyofaka ingcindezi enkulu, kodwa ngeke akwazi ukunqoba ngoba sinqobile eGameni leNkosi. Sinakho ukunqoba! Khumbula, kuqala ngaphambi kokwenza noma yini, funa njalo iNkosi ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho. Mnake kuqala. Uma ukholo lwakho lungakwazi ukubambelela kufanele wenzele ingane yakho isinqumo esifanele nanoma yini onayo. Funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu futhi nimnike ukunaka konke. Kodwa mina, ngikulungele ukukuthandazela noma nini. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Kholwa uNkulunkulu. Sesiyaphuma kuleso sihloko manje futhi sifika lapha. Njengoba sidlula lapha kukhona enye futhi into ngaleli cala. Izikhathi eziningi lapho uzama ukusiza abantu, abafuni ukuphilela uNkulunkulu noma ukuza kuNkulunkulu kwesinye isikhathi noma kukhona ukungalaleli noma okuthile empilweni yabo. Ngakho-ke, into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukuthandaza ngokukholwa futhi uhambe indlela yakho. Kushiyeleni eNkosini uJesu Kristu.

Manje esikhundleni sokuthi le nkosi isuke ekukholweni iye ekukholweni-uyazi ibhayibheli lithi uma umile ungaluvuli ukholo lwakho-bonge uJehova. Ngokusobala, inkosi ngesikhathi esithile yayinokholo kuNkulunkulu, kodwa ayizange isuke ekunqobeni ukholo yaya okholweni nasesilinganisweni sokholo. Wahlala ohlotsheni olulodwa lokholo waze waba nokholo oluncane. Ekugcineni, kwaphela kuye ekupheleni kokuphila kwakhe. Njengoba ngithe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uPawulu wayengathi unesiqalo esihle ngempela, kodwa wayengenazimpande lapho futhi yilokho okwenzeka kuye (Kolose 2: 6 – 7). Wahlala enokholo olulodwa esikhundleni sokudlulela kukho. Bheka; ufuna ukugcina ukholo oluphilayo olusebenzayo eNkosini. “Ngokuba ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kwembulwa kulo, kuvela ekukholweni kuye ekukholweni” (KwabaseRoma 1:17). Usuka kolunye ukholo uye kolunye ukholo. Usuka esimangaliso seNkosi uhamba phezu kwakho uye ekugcotshweni kombhaphathizo kaMoya oNgcwele. Uya kuqala ensindisweni. Lokho kuwukholo olulodwa. Uphuma ensindisweni ungene emithonjeni yensindiso. Bese ungena enqoleni lapho okubonakala sengathi uzohamba khona. Ungene ensindisweni usuka ekukholweni uye ekukholweni bese ungena embhaphathizweni wokukholwa uye ekukholweni. Ubukhulu ngisho nezipho ziqala ukugqama. Futhi usuka ekukholweni uye ekukholweni embhaphathizweni kaMoya oNgcwele, nokuphulukisa okuyisimangaliso, nezimangaliso ziqala ukwenzeka, futhi uqhubeka usuka ekukholweni uye ekukholweni kanye nolwazi-ukuhlakanipha okungaphezu kwemvelo-njengoba iNkosi isusa ukugcotshwa kwaYo ekukholweni kuya ekukholweni. . Ekugcineni, ungena ekukholweni kokudala. Uqala ukuveza futhi ube nanoma yini oyishoyo, amathambo ayadalwa, izingxenye zamehlo zibuyiselwa lapho, uJehova udala amaphaphu, futhi ukholo lwakho luqala ukuhamba ngendlela yokudala.

Imisebenzi engiyenzayo mina niyoyenza, kusho uJesu [Johane 14:12]. “Futhi lezizibonakaliso ziyakubalandela abakholwayo,” labo abenza ukholo lwabo (ngokukaMarku 16:17). Futhi usuka ekukholweni uye ekukholweni uze ungene ekukholweni okuhunyushwayo futhi uma usungena ekukholweni okuhunyushiwe khona-ke uyiswa emvuzweni wakho omkhulu. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Lokho kungukuthinta kwakho kokuqeda kukaNkulunkulu futhi Uzokuthinta nawe! Okuxakayo-kule ntshumayelo. Indoda eyayiyinhloko yakwaJuda—yayinezinkinga ezinyaweni zayo. Akahambanga phambi kweNkosi. Noma kunjalo, kungokomfanekiso lapha. Ngakho, usuka ekukholweni uye ekukholweni. “Kulotshiwe,” kusho uPawulu, “olungileyo uyakuphila ngokukholwa”—ukholo lwangempela, ukholo oludala lukaNkulunkulu (KwabaseRoma 1:17). Lapha sifunda ukuthi inhliziyo yenkosi yayiphelele ngesikhathi sayo nesikhathi sayo. Waqala, kodwa akagcinanga—wagcina enokholo oluncane noma ukholo olungaqinile futhi isifo sakhe sasisezinyaweni zakhe, esiwuphawu lwengxenye yokugcina yokuphila kwakhe. Akaqedanga kahle. Akahambanga phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa. Ngakho-ke, ukuphela kokuphila kwakhe kwaba ngaleso sikhathi, njengoba kushiwo lapha, akazange ahambe noNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, ukuthi uqeda kanjani okubalulekile. Bangaki abakwazi lokho na? Njengoba ngishilo ukuthi ungadlula ezivivinyweni zakho nasezivivinyweni zakho phakathi kwale nto futhi edingekayo ukuze wakhe ukholo lwakho futhi ikusize, uma ukwenze ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho, ukuthinta kokuqeda okubalulekile. NgoJesu uyakholwa futhi usuka ekukholweni uye ekukholweni.

Khumbula le nkosi futhi ukhumbule impilo yakho. Uma nifuna ukwenza okukhulu kunenkosi futhi nifuna ukuba mkhulu ngandlela thize kunale nkosi kusho ukuthi nimkhulu kunale nkosi eneNkosi uJesu Kristu—uma niqeda ngeNkosi uJesu Kristu enikuqalile. O, he, he, he! Akunjalo yini. Ake siqedele esikuqale ngeNkosi. Akunandaba ukuthi zingakanani izingcindezi zikaSathane nokuthi zingaki izilingo azozithumela endleleni yakho-kungukuqeda kukaNkulunkulu azokubeka phezu kwebandla laKhe. Uyawukhumbula umbhoshongo omkhulu waseGibhithe—owumfanekiso ngezindlela eziningi. Yiqiniso, uSathane uye wakusebenzisa lokho futhi wakusonta. Kodwa khumbulani eGibhithe lapho ukuthi isigqoko sesivivane sasishiywe, phezulu, itshe eliqediwe. Kwaba ukuthinta kokuqeda. Kwakungokomfanekiso ngokuphelele weNkosi uJesu, iLitshe eliyiNhloko eliyiNhloko elaliza kuIsrayeli nakuba bakwenqaba, bakwenqaba. Kodwa iLitshe eliyiNhloko elenqatshiwe laya kumlobokazi weNkosi uJesu Kristu futhi bheka, umlobokazi uyazilungiselela. Kukhona akwenzayo nokholo lwakhe njengoba iNkosi isebenza naye. Ekupheleni kwesikhathi, lona impela itshe eliyiNhloko elenqatshwa selifikile kumlobokazi wabeZizwe nokuthi ukuthinta kokuqeda okwashiywa kuyabuya. Nalokho kuthintwa kokuqeda eSambulweni 10, kukhuluma okunye kwakho ukuduma phakathi lapho. Yebo leso sahluko sihlobene nokucaca kuze kube sekupheleni kwenkathi nokubizwa kwesikhathi—yonke into elapho. Kodwa kulokho kuduma kwezulu nasekuqoqweni kwabantwana beNkosi beqiniso, nokholo lweNkosi oluhilelekile, kuyoba nomphumela wokuqeda kubantwana bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiwe. Lapha kulapho uSathane ezozama ngakho konke angakwenza ukuvimbela iNkosi ekubekeni lowomqhele wenkazimulo kulowomlobokazi-futhi ugcobo lukaMoya oNgcwele lusuka ekukholweni luye ekukholweni luyoveza lokhu [umqhele wenkazimulo].

Kulesi sakhiwo sisuka ekukholweni siye ekukholweni, siye ekukholweni okwengeziwe nasezindaweni zokukholwa. Ngakho manje, amatshe amancane, Uzowapholisha futhi azophela. mina nginguJehova futhi ngiyakubuyisela. Ngakho-ke, yilokho kuthinta uSathane azolwa nakho. Kodwa ake nginitshele okuthize: nonke nithanda iNkosi ngenhliziyo yenu. Niyakuba yizinkanyiso phambi kukaJehova. Ukuthintwa kokugcina kuyoba izibani—imizimba ekhazinyulisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Uzokwenza. Bangaki kini abamuzwayo uJesu lapha kulokhu ukusa na? Phakamisa izandla zakho umtshele; uthi, “Nkosi, nginike lokho kuthintwa kokuqeda.” Yilokho okuzothatha. Lokho njalo kusekuthinteni kwesivivane siqala esisekelweni, sisebenza ngezikhathi zebandla, siqhubekela phambili sikhuphuka-nalelotshe eliyigugu lizosikwa kahle nje. Mfana! Lizokhanya ngezindlela eziyisikhombisa ezehlukene isho iNkosi. Udumo kuNkulunkulu! Niyayibona leyothingo iphakama kuleyo nto phakathi lapho na? Uma ilanga lishaya idayimane, uma ulibuka, liyogqashuka libe nemibala ehlukene eyisikhombisa phakathi lapho. Ngumlilo ongaphakathi kwedayimane lapho ilanga liwushaya futhi lowo mlilo osala lapho uyanqanyulwa, futhi unqamule kahle. Uma isisikiwe isiqediwe, bayibiza ngokuthi ukuqeda lapho. Ukukhanya, sithi, kushaya idayimane—iNkosi uJesu Kristu, iLanga lokulunga liphuma linokuphilisa emaphikweni aYo. Ushaya lokho kukhanya nedayimane lisikwa kahle, naleyomisebe izophuma ngemibala eyisikhombisa eyehlukene phakathi lapho iphuma kulelodayimane, nokukhanya kuzovele kuvele.

Ngakho, iNkosi isika idayimane laYo. Sizoma nje phambi Kwakhe ngemibala emihle. Eqinisweni, iSambulo 4:3, baphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi soThingo futhi bami khona lapho ngemibala emihle— abantwana beNkosi ekukhanyeni kweNkosi. Ngakho, kulokhu ukusa, bangaki kini abafuna ukuthinta okukhethekile kakhulu kokuqeda kweNkosi na? Yilokho okuzokwenzeka [ukuzo]nifaka zonke izikhali zikaNkulunkulu. O, lizothululwa futhi ukholo luzovuka. Noma yini engalungile ngawe ngaphakathi, iNkosi inguNyanga oMkhulu wezikhathi zonke. Ungasho ukuthi Amen? Ukhona namhlanje ekuseni. Ngifuna ume ngezinyawo zakho. Uma udinga uJesu kulokhu ukusa, konke okumele ukwenze—Ulapha nathi. Ungamuzwa. Okufanele ukwenze ukuvula inhliziyo yakho futhi utshele iNkosi ukuba ingene enhliziyweni yakho kulokhu ukusa futhi-ke ngifuna ukukubona emsamo kulobubusuku. Yehla lapha bese uthi nginike isiphetho, futhi umemeze ukunqoba! Ukusuka ekukholweni kuye ekukholweni isho iNkosi! Wozani, dumisani iNkosi uJesu! Woza futhi umvumele abusise inhliziyo yakho. Busisa izinhliziyo zabo Jesu. Uzobusisa inhliziyo yakho.

102 - Ukuqeda Ukuthinta
