INKOSI IVIVINYA YONKE INGANE YABO
Ngokuka-Isaya 40:18, “Pho, niyofanisa uNkulunkulu nobani na? Noma niyomfanisa nani? ” UNkulunkulu akayena umuntu, kodwa waba ngumuntu ozofela izono zesintu futhi abuyisele umuntu noNkulunkulu. Empilweni kunezinto eziningi esibhekana nazo; kodwa ibhayibheli lasho kwabaseRoma 8:28, “Siyazi ukuthi zonke izinto zisebenzelana okuhle kwabahle kunaNkulunkulu, kwababiziweyo ngokwenhloso yakhe.” UNkulunkulu unecebo Lakhe eliyinhloko ngengane ngayinye Yakhe kusukela ekusungulweni komhlaba.
Ngesikhathi ngisemncane ngavakashela isitolo esakha impahla yegolide nomngane wami. Kwakungokuhlangenwe nakho okumnandi. Umkhandi wegolide ngumuntu owenza izinto ngegolide, ahlanze futhi akhanyise noma iyiphi impahla yegolide. Amathuluzi amaningana atholakala esitolo segolide okubandakanya impintshisi, ama-ring formers, imilomo emide nebanzi, abasiki, oketshezi. Amanzi ayadingeka esitolo somkhandi wegolide, kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu, i-billow namalahle. I-billow iwumthombo womoya wokubhebhethekisa umlilo ukuze izinga lokushisa libe sezingeni elidingekayo.
Ngenkathi ngihamba nomngani wami singena esitolo somkhandi wegolide, ngabona ukuthi umoya wawushisa. Usitshengise ucezu lwerhasi abezolufaka esithandweni somlilo esishisayo. Anginakanga kangako ezintweni ze-rustic ezazibukeka njengeqhubu elincane. Ukunaka kwami kwakukumthombo womlilo. Wayekhukhumeza umlilo ngokuqamba okunamacala amabili okubizwa ngokuthi yi-billow eyenziwe ngesikhumba esiqinile ngenduku ngaphezulu. Kwakubukeka njengebhaluni eliboshelwe endukwini evela ohlangothini olungaphezulu. Ngokuvamile kucindezelwa phansi naphezulu ukubhebhethekisa umlilo.
Ngenkathi umkhandi wegolide eqhubekela phansi emafuthweni ngenye indlela wacindezela umoya emlilweni futhi wakhuphula izinga lokushisa kwaze kwafinyelela ezingeni elifunekayo. Kwabe sekuyisikhathi sokufaka isigaxa se-rustic. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi futhi lapho ephendula isigaxa, ubukhulu besigaxa bancipha, futhi isigaxa esisele saqala ukuthatha ukukhanya. Lapho ngimbuza isizathu sokuncishiswa kwesigaxa, wachaza ukuthi kushe amakhoba amaningi nokuthi impahla yangempela iyeza. Wayikhipha, wayicwilisa kwisisombululo namanzi wakubuyisela esithandweni somlilo esincane waphinda wagcobisa umfula. Uthe udinga ukukhuphula izinga lokushisa ukuze athole okubizwa ngegolide. Wayedlulisela epanini; ukuncibilika futhi akubumbe ngendlela ayefuna ngayo ngokukhanya okuphelele nokufiselekayo.
Manje njengoba sengikhulile ngokwengeziwe, senginokuqonda okungcono kwalokho okwenziwa ngumkhandi wegolide ekuhambeleni kwethu, futhi ngiyakwazi ukukuhlobanisa nempilo yami yobuKristu. UJobe wathi kuJobe 23:10, “Kepha uyayazi indlela engiyithathayo; lapho esengivivinya, ngiyophuma ngibe njengegolide.”
Njengamanje, emhlabeni wonke umKristu uyigugu elifihlekile njengegolide. Akukho ukukhanya noma ukukhanya kubo. Abazange badlule esithandweni somlilo ngokuphelele. Wonke amakholwa eqiniso azodlula esithandweni somsebenzi wokuhlanza. Laba bantu abahlanzayo bahlanganisa ukulingwa, ukuhlupheka, ukuhlekwa usulu ngonya nokunye okuningi okutholakala kumaHeberu 11. Ngokusho komvangeli uCharles Price we-16th njengoba kwacashunwa uNeal Frisby, Amadodana OMbuso. ” Ngiyazi ukuthi lapho esengivivinya ngizophuma njengegolide.
Kule mpilo yonke ingane kaNkulunkulu yeqiniso kumele idlule esithandweni somlilo; izinga lokushisa elidingekayo kufanele lifinyelelwe, enganeni ngayinye kaNkulunkulu, ngaphambi kokuvela kokukhanya. UMaster Goldsmith (UJESU KRISTU) nguyena onquma izinga lokushisa elidingekayo lapho ingane yakhe ngayinye izobeka khona ukukhanya. Lokhu kukhanya wuphawu lokuhweba olukukhomba njengengane Yakhe. Ukukhanya okukhulu kuzofika nokuhumusha ngoba sibekwe uphawu nguMoya oNgcwele kuze kube usuku lokuhlengwa.
Ngokusho koMphostoli uPaul, yonke ingane kaNkulunkulu idlula ekujezisweni; ama-bastard kuphela angahlangabezani nokujeziswa njengobaba (Hebheru 12: 8). Masiduduzeke njengoba sibala okwenzeka kithi, ukusisiza sazi ukuthi ezimweni eziningi uNkulunkulu uyasivumela noma asenze singene esithandweni ukuze sizuze ekugcineni. Khumbula ukuthi ngokwabaseRoma 8:28, zonke izinto zisebenza ngokubambisana ukuze kuzuze thina.
Njengoba sidlula esithandweni somlilo, noma ngabe sishisa kangakanani, gcina uJeremiya 29:11, njalo phambi kwakho okufundeka kanje, “Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi imicabango enginayo ngani inisiza kini, kusho iNkosi, ukuthula, hhayi okubi, ukukunikeza ukuphela okulindelwe. Yebo, ungahle ube esithandweni somlilo njengalezi zingane ezintathu ezingamaHeberu, kepha Uyayazi imicabango Yakhe ngakuwe, ngisho nasekusungulweni komhlaba. Lokhu kuyaduduza ukukwazi futhi ukukholelwe njengoba udlula esithandweni somlilo.
Cabanga uLazaru nesicebi, uLuka 16: 20-21. ULazaru esithandweni somlilo – walamba, wadelelwa, wadelelwa, wagcwala izilonda, wayehleli esangweni efuna usizo akalutholanga; nezinja zavuza izilonda zakhe. Wayesabheka phezulu kuNkulunkulu. Wadlula esikhathini sakhe somlilo, njengoJobe owathi kuJobe 13:15, "Noma Engangibulala kodwa ngizomethemba." Lokho kufanele kube yisimo salo lonke ikholwa elidlula esithandweni somlilo esivuthayo. Isipiliyoni sakho samanje somlilo esivuthayo sikhonza inkazimulo yakho yesikhathi esizayo.
Lezi zilingo nezinkinga ezahlukahlukene kungamazwibela omkhandi wegolide emsebenzini ukukhuphula izinga lokushisa liye ezingeni elidingekayo ukusiza ukushisa udoti nokucwenga igolide langempela. Kungakho ezinye izivivinyo ziyizidingo eziphelele. Yini odlula kuyo entsha ngaphansi kwelanga? Awuyena owokuqala esithandweni somlilo futhi kungenzeka ungabi owokugcina. UPaul wathi kwabaseFilipi 4: 4, "Thokozani eNkosini njalonjalo." INkosi yatshela uPawule kwesinye sezikhathi esithandweni sakhe somlilo, "Umusa wami ukwanele" (2 Korinte 12: 9). Uma usesithandweni somlilo, iNkosi inawe, khumbula oShadiraki, uMeshaki no-Abedi-Nego.
INkosi yabonakala kuPaul ngesikhathi somlilo owawuphukelwe umkhumbi yamduduza. UPaul noSila bahlabelela futhi badumisa uNkulunkulu ngenkathi besejele bedlula lapho behlangana nomlilo. UPeter noDaniel balale kamnandi ejele nasesithandweni somlilo sezingonyama ngokulandelana. Babengenabo ubuthongo njengabaningi bethu. Esithandweni somlilo izinga lakho lokuthembela nokuzethemba eNkosini liyabonakala. Njengoba ubekezelela ubunzima, ubuhlungu, ukuhlupheka kuze kube sekufeni, isimo sakho sengqondo ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu sizokwenza ukhanye noma ushise njengamakhoba. AmaHeberu 11 imininingwane abaningi abadlule esithandweni baphuma nombiko omuhle. Abanye bagencwa ngosawoti bashiswa. Ngokunokwenzeka, bakhumbula uDuteronomi 31: 6 ofundeka kanje, “Qina, ume isibindi, ungesabi, ungabesabi, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nguye ohamba nawe; ngeke akulahle noma akushiye. ” Ukhona ukuze azokubona udlula esithandweni somlilo, vele ubambelele futhi uhlale uthembekile esandleni soMcengi ngomshini wakhe.
Bheka umfowethu uStephen, umfelukholo. Njengoba babemkhanda ngamatshe, i-billow yayigcwele, ukushisa kwakukhona. Wayengakhali kepha uMoya kaNkulunkulu ubonakalisiwe kuye, ngenkathi esesithandweni somlilo. Wayenokuthula kwengqondo ukuthi "Nkosi, ungabaletheli lesi sono." Ngesikhathi bemkhanda ngamatshe, uNkulunkulu wenduduzo wambonisa izulu. Wathi, “Ngibona izulu livuliwe neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu,” (Izenzo 7: 54-59). Lapho udlula esithandweni somlilo, kwesinye isikhathi uyaduduzwa ngesambulo, njengoStephen. Uma uyigolide likaNkulunkulu, isithando somlilo sizokukhipha sikhanye njengokushaywa okukhulu ngomyalo we-Master Goldsmith. Uyazi izinga lokushisa elidingekayo ukuze ukhanye. Wathembisa ukuthi ngeke akudlulise ongakwazi ukukuthwala. Uyalwazi uhlaka lwakho futhi ulawula ngokuphelele.
Ungase ube esithandweni somlilo njengamanje noma kungenzeka ukuthi usondela kuso, noma ungahle ungazi ukuthi ukuso. Lapho uMaster Goldsmith ehlala phansi futhi kancane kancane eqala ukusebenzisa i-billows, lapho-ke uzokwazi ukuthi isithando somlilo sivuliwe. Noma ngabe ubhekene nani, cabanga futhi, ngoba iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kungenzeka ukuthi isebenza kuwe ngaleso sikhathi. Kungenzeka ukuthi ukuguqula esithandweni somlilo ukuze ushise izindawo ezithile zempilo yakho. Khumbula ukuthi ngaphandle kokungabaza Unani esithandweni somlilo. Wathembisa ukuthi angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle. Wasigcina isithembiso Sakhe nezingane ezintathu ezingamaHeberu ezinsukwini zikaNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabiloni. Indoda yesine yayisesithandweni somlilo esivuthayo. Inkosi yathi, Ngibona umuntu wesine onjengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu, (Daniyeli 3: 24-25). Ngakho-ke, ngiqinisekisa isitatimende seNkosi sokuthi angisoze ngakushiya noma ngakushiya.
Amabhubesi ayenobungane noDaniel emgodini. Abazange bamhlasele. UJesu Kristu wayekhona naye njengeNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda. Amabhubesi kungenzeka abubonile ubukhona Bakhe futhi aziphatha njengoba wayeyiNgonyama ephethe. Angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle, kusho iNkosi (KumaHeberu 13: 5). Labo abahlupheka neNkosi bazobusa kanye nayo enkazimulweni (2 Thimothewu 2:12).
KuGenesise 22: 1-18, u-Abrahama, ubaba wethu wokholo, wadlula esithandweni somlilo esivuthayo lapho ebhekene nokunikela ngomntwana wakhe okuwukuphela kwakhe wesithembiso. Lapho uNkulunkulu efuna lokho, akazange abonisane noSara ngomqondo wesibili. Walungisa wahamba wayokwenza njengokuyalelwa kwakhe. Akazange asungule ikomidi elizobheka okushiwo nguNkulunkulu. Wayenosizi kodwa wakhuthazelela ubunzima njengesosha elihle. Lapho efika entabeni u-Isaka wabuza uyise, "Bheka umlilo nezinkuni; kepha iphi imvu yomnikelo wokushiswa?" Lokhu kwakunjengoNkulunkulu efaka ukushisa okwengeziwe ku-Abrahama owayesemlilweni. U-Abrahama waphendula ngomoya ophansi, "UNkulunkulu uzozifunela imvu yomnikelo wokushiswa." Cabanga nje ukuthi kwakwenzekani enhliziyweni yendoda engaphezu kweminyaka eyikhulu ubudala. Ngingayithola nini enye ingane? USarah naye usemdala, ngabe lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ephelele? Ngizomtshelani uSarah?
U-Abrahama wafika lapho entabeni eyabekwa uNkulunkulu. NgokukaGenesise 22: 9, u-Abrahama wakha i-altare lapho, wabeka izinkuni ngokulandelana futhi wabopha u-Isaka indodana yakhe, wambeka e-altare phezu kwezinkuni. U-Abrahama welula isandla sakhe, wathatha ummese ukuba ahlabe ngawo indodana yakhe. Lesi yisipiliyoni somlilo, futhi iNkosi yathi, angisoze ngakushiya noma ngikulahle. Ngenkathi u-Abrahama elula isandla sakhe ukuba abulale indodana yakhe u-Isaka, eyayiyindawo eshisa kakhulu esithandweni somlilo; ngokulalela uNkulunkulu, wakhanya njengegolide futhi ingelosi yeNkosi yamemeza isezulwini yathi, “Ungabeki isandla sakho kumfana, futhi ungenzi lutho kuye: ngokuba manje ngiyazi ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, lokhu awugodlanga indodana yakho, ukuphela kwendodana yakho kimi ”(UGenesise 21: 11 & 12). Yile ndlela u-Abrahama aphuma ngayo esithandweni somlilo esivuthayo esikhanya njengegolide futhi enuka njengembali y rose. Wanqoba ngokholo nangokuzethemba eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakhe. Lapho udlula esithandweni somlilo, uNkulunkulu ukhombisa ubukhona bakhe ngezambulo ezisenhliziyweni yakho, uma inhliziyo yakho ihlala kuye. KumaHeberu 11:19 sifunda ukuthi ngenkathi u-Abrahama esesithandweni somlilo, “wathi uNkulunkulu unamandla okumvusa, nakwabafileyo; wamukelaphi futhi ngomfanekiso. ” Siyabonga uNkulunkulu ngesithando somlilo esivuthayo ezimpilweni zethu. Angazi ukuthi uluhlobo luni lwesithando somlilo, ukusiphi isigaba noma ukuthi ukushisa okukushisayo kukushisa kangakanani. Bamba uqinise, uvume izono zakho uma umunye; phendukela eNkosini ukhumbule ukuthi ngeke ngikushiye noma ngikulahle. Abantu bayamshiya uNkulunkulu bathi ubalahlile; cha mnumzane, Uthe ushade nomhlubuki, phendukela kuYe isikhathi sisekhona nethuba. Kungase kube sekwephuze kakhulu ukubuyela esiphambanweni. Ngehora ungacabangi; ngomzuzwana, ngokuphazima kweso. Lowo okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni ujoyina labo abakumaHeberu 11, amen. Isithando somlilo esivuthayo ukukhipha igolide oyilo. Kungenzeka udabula enye yalezi zingxenye zesithando somlilo, izindaba zomndeni, izingane, inyumba, ukuguga, impilo, ezezimali, umsebenzi, ezomoya, izindlu nokunye okuningi. Khumbula ukuthi iNkosi inawe futhi iyisixazululo kuphela. Mane ususe izono eziyimfihlo noma ezivulekile lapho udlula esithandweni somlilo.
Ngokusho kukaCharles Price, “Kuzoba nokuhlengwa okuphelele nokugcwele nguKristu (i-Master Goldsmith). Le yimfihlakalo efihliwe okungamele iqondwe ngaphandle kokuvezwa nguMoya oNgcwele. UJesu useduze ukwambula okufanayo kubo bonke abafuna okungcwele nakubuza ngothando. Lowo okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni uyakusindiswa. Lowo onqobayo uzodla ifa lezinto zonke, ngokweSambulo 21: 7. Ngingenza zonke izinto ngoKristu ongiqinisayo njengakumaFilipi 4:13. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukudlula esithandweni somlilo esivuthayo njengaleso esikumaHeberu 11; ababekezelela zonke izinto, babenombiko omuhle futhi bahlala ethembeni belinde ukuhlengwa komzimba wabo futhi bazokhanya njengezinkanyezi baphume njengegolide elimsulwa. Isithando somlilo esivuthayo kaningi sizuzisa thina. INkosi yadlula esithandweni somlilo ngaphandle kwesono. Isiphambano seKalvari sasingaphezu kwesithando somlilo somuntu oyedwa; kwakuyisithando somlilo esivuthayo sonke isintu, kuhlanganise nawe. Wakhuthazelela isiphambano ngenxa yenjabulo eyayibekwe phambi Kwakhe. Injabulo kwaba ukubuyisana komuntu Naye, kubo bonke labo abakholwayo. Ngakho-ke, njengeNkosi uJesu Kristu, ake sibheke ngenjabulo isithembiso esinikezwe ukusisebenzisa kuJohane 14: 1-3; lapho eza ukusisa ekhaya enkazimulweni. Onqobayo ngiyakumnika ukuhlala nami esihlalweni sami sobukhosi IsAm. 3:21, Amen.
