VUKA, HLALA UVUKILE, ASIKHO ISIKHATHI SOKULALA
Iningi labantu lilala ebusuku. Izinto eziyinqaba zenzeka ebusuku. Lapho ulele awazi neze ukuthi kwenzakalani eduze kwakho. Uma uvuka ngokungazelelwe ebumnyameni, ungahle wesabe, ukhubeke noma udiyazele. Khumbula ngesela ebusuku. Ulungele kangakanani isela eliza kuwe ebusuku?
Amahubo 119: 105 afundeka kanje, “Izwi lakho liyisibani ezinyaweni zami nokukhanya endleleni yami.” Lapha siyabona futhi siyaqonda ukuthi IZWI likaNkulunkulu liyi ISIBANI ezinyaweni zakho (umsebenzi) kanye NOKUKHANYA KENDLELA YAKHO (UKUQONDISWA NOKUQEDWA KWAKHO). Ukulala kuhilela ukungazi. Singabe silele ngokomoya, kepha wena ucabanga ukuthi ulungile ngoba uyazi ngezenzo zakho; kodwa ngokomoya ungahle ungalungi.
Isikhathi, ukulala ngokomoya, kusho ukungazweli ekusebenzeni nasekuholeni koMoya kaNkulunkulu empilweni yomuntu. Kwabase-Efesu 5:14 ithi, “Ngalokho uthi: Vuka wena oleleyo, uvuke kwabafileyo, uKristu uzakukukhanyisela.” “Futhi ningahlanganyeli imisebenzi yobumnyama engenazithelo, kepha kunalokho niyisole” (v. 11). Ubumnyama nokuKhanya kuhluke ngokuphelele. Ngendlela efanayo, ukulala nokuba yi-Phaphama kuhluke ngokuphelele komunye nomunye.
Kukhona ingozi emhlabeni wonke namuhla. Lokhu akuyona ingozi yalokho okubonayo kodwa lokho ongakuboni. Okwenzekayo emhlabeni akukhona okomuntu kuphela, kungokukaSathane. Umuntu wesono, njengenyoka enjalo; manje iyakhasa futhi igobile, enganakwa yizwe. Impikiswano ukuthi abantu abaningi babiza iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kepha abalinaki izwi lakhe. Funda uJohane 14: 23-24, “Uma umuntu engithanda uyakugcina izwi lami.”
Amagama eNkosi okufanele agcine wonke amakholwa eqiniso ecabanga atholakala ezigabeni ezilandelayo zombhalo. ULuka 21:36 ofundeka kanje, “Bhekani-ke, nikhuleke njalonjalo, ukuze kuthiwe nikufanele ukuphunyuka kukho konke lokhu okuyakwenzeka, nokuma phambi kweNdodana yomuntu.” Omunye umbhalo ukuMat. 25:13 ofundeka kanje, “Ngakho-ke lindani, ngokuba anilwazi usuku noma ihora iNdodana yomuntu ezakufika ngalo.” Kunemibhalo eminingi, kepha sizocabanga kabanzi ngale mibili.
Njengoba sibona, imibhalo eshiwo ngenhla ingamazwi okuxwayisa avela eNkosini mayelana nokubuya kwakhe okungazelelwe nokuyimfihlo. Uxwayise ngokuthi bangalali, kodwa babuke futhi bathandaze, hhayi kwesinye isikhathi, kepha njalo. Uyalazi ikusasa elingaziwa muntu. Kungcono ukulalela amazwi eNkosi kulolu daba. UJohn 6: 45 uthi, “Kulotshiwe kubaprofethi, futhi bonke bazofundiswa nguNkulunkulu [bafunde izwi Lakhe ngokuholwa nguMoya]. Ngakho-ke wonke umuntu ozwile futhi wafunda ngoBaba (uJesu Kristu) uza kimi. ”
UBaba, uNkulunkulu, (uJesu Kristu), wayekhulume ngabaprofethi ngokuphela kwenkathi nangokuza okuyimfihlo komzuzu wokuhumusha. Kepha uNkulunkulu uqobo esimweni somuntu uJesu Kristu wafundisa ngemifanekiso futhi waprofetha ngokuza Kwakhe (Johane 14: 1-4). Uthe, ukubuka nokuthandaza njalo ngoba uzofika lapho amadoda elele, ephazamisekile, engagxilile futhi elahlekelwe ukuphuthuma kwesithembiso sakhe sokuza kukamakoti wakhe (ukuhumusha), njengoba sibona namuhla. Umbuzo manje ngukuthi, ingabe ulele esikhundleni sokubuka nokuthandaza njalo, njengoba sizwile futhi safundiswa yizwi likaNkulunkulu?
Abantu balala kakhulu ebusuku kanti imisebenzi yobumnyama ifana nobusuku. Ngokomoya, abantu balale ngezizathu eziningi. Sikhuluma ngokulala ngokomoya. INkosi ilinde njengakuMat. 25: 5, "Ngesikhathi umkhwenyana esalibele, zonke zalala zalala." Uyazi abantu abaningi bahambahamba ngokomzimba kodwa balele ngokomoya, ungomunye walabo?
Ake ngikukhombe ezintweni ezenza abantu bozele futhi balale ngokomoya. Amaningi awo atholakala kwabaseGalathiya 5: 19-21 efundeka kanje, “Manje imisebenzi yenyama iyabonakala, eyiyo; ukuphinga, ubufebe, ukungcola, amanyala, ukukhonza izithombe, ubuthakathi, inzondo, ukwehlukana, ukulingisa, ulaka, umbango, ukuvukela umbuso, ukuhlubuka, umona, ukubulala, ukudakwa, imibuthano exokozelayo, nokunye okunjalo. Ngokwengeziwe, eminye imisebenzi yenyama iyashiwo kwabaseRoma 1: 28-32, kwabaseKolose 3: 5-8 nakuyo yonke imibhalo.
Lapho kuba nokuxabana phakathi kwabantu noma izithandani kwesinye isikhathi, iningi lethu liyolala ngentukuthelo. Le ntukuthelo ingahlala izinsuku eziningi. Okwamanje, umuntu ngamunye uyaqhubeka nokufunda ibhayibheli lakhe ngasese, athandaze futhi adumise uNkulunkulu, kepha aqhubeke athukuthelele omunye umuntu, ngaphandle kokwenza ukuthula nokuphenduka. Uma lokhu kuyisithombe sakho, impela ulele ngokomoya futhi awazi. Ibhayibheli kwabase-Efesu 4: 26-27 lifundeka kanje, “Thukuthelani, ningoni; ilanga malingashoni nisathukuthele, futhi ningamniki uSathane indawo.”
Ukulindela nokuphuthuma kokuza kweNkosi uma kungathathwa ngokungathi sína njengoba kufakazelwa ukugcina imisebenzi yenyama, kuzodala ukulala nokulala. INkosi ifuna ukuthi sivuke, sihlale siphaphile ngokuphila impilo ebhalwe kwabaseGalathiya 5: 22-23 efundeka kanje, “Kepha izithelo zikaMoya ziluthando, nokujabula, nokuthula, nokubekezela, nobumnene, nokulunga, nokukholwa, nobumnene, ukuzithiba, ngokumelene nalokhu akukho mthetho. ” Le yindlela engcono kakhulu yokuhlala uphapheme. Kufanele ukholwe wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu nabaprofethi bakhe, ugcine ukulindela nokuphuthuma ngokuza kweNkosi, futhi ubheke izimpawu zezikhathi zokugcina njengoba kuprofethwe emibhalweni nasezithunyweni zeNkosi. Futhi, kumele ukhombe abaprofethi bemvula bangaphambili nabokugcina kanye nemiyalezo yabo eya kubantu bakaNkulunkulu.
Lapha sikhathazeke kakhulu ngokulindelwa okubaluleke kakhulu futhi okuseduze kosuku lwethu - Ukuhumusha kwabakhethiweyo bakaJesu Kristu. Kuhlobene nokukhanya nobumnyama noma ukulala nokuhlala uphapheme. Usebumnyameni noma ekukhanyeni futhi ulele noma uvukile. Ukuzikhethela kuhlala kungokwakho. UJesu Kristu kuMathewu 26:41 wathi, "Bhekani nikhuleke, ukuze ningangeni esilingweni." Kulula ukucabanga ukuthi uvukile ngoba wenza imisebenzi yakho yansuku zonke, kufaka phakathi ukuya kukho konke ukubandakanyeka kwakho enkolweni. Kepha uma uhlola izindawo ezithile zempilo yakho ngesibani nokukhanya kukaNkulunkulu, uzozithola ulula. Uma ufukamela intukuthelo nomunyu kumuntu lize lishone ilanga liphinde liphume, futhi usathukuthele kodwa usebenza ngokujwayelekile; kukhona okungahambi kahle ngokomoya. Uma uhlala kuleyo ndlela kungekudala uzobe ulele ngokomoya futhi awukuqapheli. Okufanayo kuya kuyo yonke imisebenzi yenyama njengakuGalathiya 5: 19-21, etholakala ihlala empilweni yakho. Ulele ngokomoya. INkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ithe, batshele ukuthi bavuke futhi bahlale bephapheme ngoba lesi akusona isikhathi sokulala. Ukulala ngokomoya kusho ukugxila emisebenzini yenyama). Nakulokhu futhi, funda amaRoma 1: 28-32, lena eminye yemisebenzi yenyama eyenza umuntu alale. Imisebenzi yenyama imele ubumnyama nemisebenzi yayo.
Ukuhlala uphapheme kuphambene nokulala. Kunezibonelo eziningi zokungafani nokulala [ukuphaphama] njengoba kwakhulunywa nguJesu Kristu. Okokuqala, ake sihlole uMat. U-25: 1-10 ofundeka kancane uthi, “ngenkathi umyeni elibele, balele bonke balala,” lesi esinye isibonelo sokulala nokuhlala bephapheme ngenxa yezinga lokulungiselelwa kweqembu ngalinye, izintombi eziyiziwula nezintombi ezihlakaniphile. Funda futhi uLuka 12: 36-37, “Nani futhi njengabantu abalindele inkosi yabo, lapho iyakubuya emshadweni; ukuze kuthi lapho ifika ingqongqoza, bamvulele masinyane. Zibusisiwe lezo zinceku okuthi lapho inkosi ifika izithole ilindile, (ivukile). ” Funda futhi uMarku 13: 33-37.
Vuka, uhlale uphapheme, lesi akusona isikhathi sokulala. Bhekani futhi nithandaze njalo, ngoba akekho owaziyo ukuthi iNkosi ifika ngasiphi isikhathi. Kungaba ekuseni, ntambama, kusihlwa noma phakathi kwamabili. Phakathi kwamabili kwamenyezelwa ukuthi niyohlangabeza umyeni. Lesi akusona isikhathi sokulala, sokuvuka nokuhlala uphapheme. Ngoba lapho umkhwenyana efika labo ababelungile bangena naye futhi umnyango wavalwa.
