Injabulo - Imizuzu emihlanu ngaphambi kokuhumusha
Ekufikeni okusheshayo kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ngomlobokazi wayo, kuyoba nenjabulo, ezinhliziyweni zalabo abazilungiselele futhi abalindele ukuba avele. Injabulo iwubufakazi obungenaphutha bobukhona bukaNkulunkulu empilweni yomuntu. Ngikhuluma ngentokozo kaMoya oNgcwele, njengoba kukhonjwe kumaGal. 5:22-23. Ngesikhathi sokuhumusha isithelo osifunayo sitholakala kuwe kuphela leso sikaMoya. Lesi sithelo sakhiwe uthando, nokujabula, nokuthula, nokubekezela, nobumnene, nobuvi, nokukholeka, nobumnene, nokuzithiba; akukho mthetho omelana nokunjalo. Lonke ikholwa elilungiselela ukuhunyushwa kufanele libe nalezo. Isithelo sikaMoya nguJesu Kristu obonakaliswe kuwe. Ukuze eyoku-1 kaJohane 3:2-3 ibe yithemba lakho, “Bathandekayo, manje singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, futhi akubonakali esiyoba yikho, kodwa siyazi ukuthi lapho ebonakaliswa siyofana naye; ngoba sizambona njengoba enjalo. Wonke umuntu onaleli themba kuye, uyazihlanza, njengalokhu yena ehlanzekile. Qiniseka ukuthi ubonakalisa isithelo sikaMoya manje, ngoba imizuzu emihlanu yokuhumusha izobe sekwephuze kakhulu ukuqinisekisa lokho noma ukusebenza kulokho empilweni yakho.
IBhayibheli liyafakaza ukuthi imizuzu emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba u-Enoke ahunyushwe waqinisekisa ubufakazi bakhe, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi wamjabulisa uNkulunkulu, (Heb. 11:5-6). Kepha ngaphandle kokukholwa akwenzeki ukumthokozisa, ngokuba ozayo kuNkulunkulu umelwe ukukholwa ukuthi ukhona nokuthi ungumvuzi walabo abamfunayo. U-Enoke wayejabule, ethanda futhi enokholo kuNkulunkulu. U-Eliya wayesenemizuzu emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba ahunyushwe. Wayazi ukuthi iNkosi yayizomzela, njengoba wonke amakholwa eqiniso namuhla azi, ukuthi ngempela iNkosi izoza ngenxa yethu. Wathembisa kuJohane 14:3 ethi: “Futhi uma ngiya nginilungisela indawo, ngobuye ngize, nginamukele kimi, ukuze lapho ngikhona nani nibe khona.” Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba kepha hhayi izwi lami usho uJehova. Bonke abantu mababe ngabaqambimanga, kepha izwi likaNkulunkulu malibe yiqiniso, (KwabaseRoma 3:4). Impela ukuhunyushwa noma ukuhlwithwa kuzokwenzeka. Izwi likaNkulunkulu lakusho, futhi ngiyalikholwa.
U-Eliya kweyesi-2 AmaKhosi 2:1-14 wayazi ukuthi ukuhumusha kwakhe kwase kuseduze kakhulu. Futhi kwenzeka, lapho iNkosi izakwenyusela u-Eliya (umlobokazi naye) ezulwini ngesivunguvungu, u-Eliya wahamba no-Elisha (njengongcwele wosizi) besuka eGiligali. Namuhla ibandla lixubile, kodwa kulo, umakoti uzohlwithwa. U-Eliya wabona izimpawu ezaziqinisekisa ukuthi inguqulo yakhe yayiseduze. Kanjalo nanamuhla kunezibonakaliso eziningi eziqinisekisa ukuthi maduze uJehova uzoshanela eyakhe ezulwini njengo-Eliya. U-Eliya waba nemizuzu emihlanu yokugcina esemhlabeni. Imizuzu yethu emihlanu yokugcina emhlabeni iyasondela. U-Eliya wayazi ngezwi likaNkulunkulu futhi wayezimisele ngokusuka enhliziyweni ukuya ekhaya. Wayazi ukuthi umhlaba akulona ikhaya lakhe. Umakoti ufuna umuzi.
UJesu Kristu wasinika izwi lakhe ngemifanekiso eminingana nezinkulumo eziqondile mayelana nokubuya kwakhe ngenxa yethu; njengoba enza kuEliya. Kukho konke lokhu kwakungokuka-Eliya futhi kuzoba kithi imizuzu emihlanu yokugcina, ngaphambi kokuhumusha kwethu. Eyesi-2 AmaKhosi 2:9 yembula kakhulu, Imizuzu emihlanu ka-Eliya yaqala ukuhamba; U-Eliya wathi ku-Elisha: “Cela engiyakukwenzela kona ngaphambi kokuba ngisuswe kuwe,” futhi u-Elisha wathi, “izingxenye ezimbili zomoya wakho makube phezu kwami. Kwathi besahamba bekhuluma, kwabonakala inqola yomlilo namahhashi omlilo kwabahlukanisa ngokuzumayo; u-Eliya wakhuphukela ezulwini ngesivunguvungu, u-Elisha akabe esambona. Emizuzwini emihlanu ngaphambi kokuhumusha kwakhe, u-Eliya wayazi ukuthi inguqulo yakhe yayiseduze. Wayazi ukuthi okwakhe sekuphelile hhayi ngobungane nezwe. Wayazi ukuthi abantu bazosala. Wayebekwe futhi ezwela ekugcotshweni okwakuzokwenza kwenzeke. Wavala ukuthintana kwakhe kwasemhlabeni ngokutshela u-Elisha ukuba enze isicelo sakhe ngaphambi kokuba asuswe kuye. Ngalesi sikhathi sokuhumusha kukhona ukuzethemba ngomoya ukuthi usuqedile ngalomhlaba futhi ubheke phezulu, hhayi phansi ukuthi iNkosi ikuhumushe. Zonke lezi zazidlala emizuzwini emihlanu yokugcina ngaphambi kokuhunyushwa kuka-Eliya; futhi kuyakuba njalo nakithi. Singase singabi ngabaprofethi abafana no-Eliya no-Enoke, kodwa ngokuqinisekile, isithembiso seNkosi siphezu kwethu ngenxa yesimo esifanayo esabaguqulela ezulwini futhi basaphila. UNkulunkulu wethu unguNkulunkulu wabaphilayo hatshi kwabafileyo.
Imizuzu emihlanu ngaphambi kokuhunyushwa kukamakoti, ngethemba ukuthi ungomunye. INkosi izoba yinjabulo engacabangeki ezinhliziyweni zethu ngokuhamba kwethu. Umhlaba ngeke ube nokusikhanga. Uzozithola usuhlukana nezwe ngentokozo. Izithelo zikaMoya ziyobonakala empilweni yakho. Uzozithola ukude nakho konke ukubonakala kobubi nesono; futhi ebambelele ebungcweleni nasekuhlanzekeni. Uthando olusha olutholiwe, ukuthula nenjabulo kuzokubamba njengoba abafileyo behamba phakathi kwethu. Uphawu olukutshela ukuthi isikhathi sesiphelile. Abadinga izikhiye zemoto nezendlu bacele ngaphambi kokuthi sithathwe. Indiza yokugcina ephume umakoti.
U-Eliya no-Enoke babengazivumi izono zabo emizuzwini emihlanu edlule. Babenomqondo wezulu futhi bebheke phezulu ezulwini ngoba ukuhlengwa kwabo kwase kuseduze. Uzokwazi, uma uzwela kuMoya ukuthi isikhathi sase siseduze futhi isithelo sikaMoya sesisibekele. Futhi siyohlukaniswa ezinhliziyweni zethu emhlabeni, futhi sigcwaliswe intando yasezulwini, amathemba, imibono kanye nemicabango. Imizuzu emihlanu yokugcina emhlabeni, izohlanganisa umuzwa wezulu, Injabulo, ukuthula nothando ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Izwe nezinto zalo angeke zibe nalutho kithina, njengoba sigxile eNkosini ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka; ngoba kungaba noma yimuphi umzuzu. Khumbula umkaLoti. Asikwazi ukubheka emuva emhlabeni kanye nenkohliso yawo imizuzu emihlanu ngaphambi kokuhumusha. Ukuze uhlanganyele ekuhumusheni, kufanele usindiswe, ukholwe izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu, kude nesono futhi uqale ukulungela Imizuzu emihlanu yokugcina ngaphambi kokuhumusha. Imizuzu Emihlanu yokugcina kumele ngikubone ugcwele isithelo sikaMoya futhi ugcwele injabulo engakhulumeki negcwele inkazimulo. Gcina isono, ukungathetheleli, nemisebenzi yenyama kude nawe. Ukukhuluma kwenu makungabi semhlabeni, ( Flp. 3:20 ) “Ngokuba indaba yethu isezulwini; lapho futhi silindele khona uMsindisi, iNkosi uJesu Kristu.” Ukuhumusha okomuntu siqu kakhulu, akulona iqembu, noma indaba yomndeni yokubambana ngezandla ngendiza. “Sibheke kuJesu umqalisi nomphelelisi wokukholwa kwethu” (Heb. 12:2).
Khumbulani iNkosi yathi, “Khona-ke ababili bayakuba sensimini; omunye athathwe, omunye ashiywe. Abesifazane ababili baya kube besila etsheni; omunye athathwe, omunye ashiywe. Ngakho lindani; ngokuba anazi ukuthi iNkosi yenu izakufika ngaliphi ihora (ihumusho); —- Ngakho-ke nani hlalani nilungile, ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu iza ngehora eningalicabangiyo.” ( Math. 24:40-44 ). Ngokuphazima kweso, ngokuphazima kwelihlo, ngokuphazima kweso, sonke (abakholwayo abasindisiweyo labalungele kuphela), sizaguqulwa. Iyiphi ingxenye yemizuzu emihlanu ezoba umzuzwana? Umnyango wawuzovalwa. Ungaphuthelwa indiza. Kulandela usizi olukhulu.
