UYosefu watyholwa ngobuxoki waza waphulwa
Xa uYosefu wathengiswa okwesibini kuPotifare, UYosefu wafika kwindawo elungileyo de umfazi kaPotifare watyhola uYosefu ngobuxoki. Nangona uYosefu wayemsulwa, watyholwa ngobuxoki waza wavalelwa entolongweni.
Wahlala ixesha elingakanani uYosefu entolongweni? 10 iminyaka? 11 iminyaka okanye ngaphezulu 13 iminyaka? Kuba uYosefu wayenjalo 17 xa wayethengiswa kwaye 30 xa ephuma entolongweni. Masithi yayiyiminyaka elishumi. Khawufan' ucinge, ukuvalelwa entolongweni iminyaka elishumi! Kodwa oku kwakukwayinxalenye yesicwangciso sikaThixo.

Ungalilahli iphupha lakho
Mhlawumbi ucinga ngephupha, umbono, okanye isiprofeto owasifumana kuThixo kwixesha elidlulileyo okanye mhlawumbi kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, kodwa akukho nto yenzekileyo. Usenokuthandabuza ukuba elo phupha, umbono, okanye isiprofeto sasiphuma kuThixo, kuba awuboni nto eyenzekayo okwangoku.
Kwenzeka ntoni ngelixa ulinde de iphupha libe yinyani?
Kodwa ndingathanda ukukukhuthaza, ngokusekelwe kwibali likaYosefu, ukuba unganikezeli! Ngamanye amaxesha unokuzifumana ukwiimeko ezinzima. Kodwa ezi meko zinzima ziyimfuneko ukuze zikuguqule zize zikubumbe ube ngulo mntu uThixo afuna ube nguye.
Jonga ubomi bukaYosefu. Xa uYosefu wayesendlwini kaPotifare waza wamisela indlu yakhe nendlu yakhe, umfazi kaPotifare, umfazi otshatileyo, wazama ukumlukuhla uYosefu.
Ngoxa uYosefu wayehendwa esenyameni, endaweni yokunikezela kwizilingo, UYosefu wakhetha ukwenza njalo hlala uthobela kwaye uthembekile kuThixo wanyula ukungoni.

Ngenxa yokuthobela nokuthembeka kwakhe kuThixo, UYosefu watyholwa ngobuxoki waza wavalelwa entolongweni iminyaka emalunga neshumi ukuya kwelishumi elinesibini.
Kodwa oku kwakukwayinxalenye yesicwangciso sikaThixo. Ngoxa wayesentolongweni uYosefu wamiselwa njengenkokeli, apho wafunda khona, iphuhlisiwe, kwaye waziqhelanisa nezakhono zakhe zokuphatha. UYosefu akazange ayibone imeko yokuphelelwa lithemba. UYosefu akazange alile, ukumbombozela okanye ukukhalaza.
Hayi, UYosefu wawenza umsebenzi wakhe waza wahlala umonde kwaye uthembekile kuThixo. UThixo wabona uthando lukaYosefu nokuthembeka kwaye wamsikelela uYosefu.
Ayisiyonto ohamba kuyo, kodwa uhamba njani kuyo
Ngeli xesha, ngelixa ulinda de iphupha libe yinyani, ungayeki ngasemva ungenzi nto. Hayi, lixesha lokulungiselela. Ngoko ke kubalulekile ukuchitha ixesha noThixo nokufunda iLizwi lakhe. Okwangoku, wenza umsebenzi woBukumkani yaye wenza oko uYesu akuyalele ukuba ukwenze, uze ukhuthale, ngokuba wenzela uThixo.
Xa kuvela iimeko ezinzima, musa ukudinwa okanye unkwantye, kwaye musani ukumbombozela kwaye nikhalaze, kuba uThixo akakuthandi ukumbombozela nokukhalaza. Xa umbombozela kwaye ukhalaza, uya kuyenza ibe mbi ngakumbi kwaye ubangele imeko ukuba ihlale ixesha elide (Funda kwakhona: ‘Yeka ukugxeka uThixo!’ kwaye ‘Lowo imthandayo iNkosi iyamqeqesha, imtyakatye‘).
Kunoko, zithobe kuThixo nakwiLizwi lakhe kwaye uvumele ezo meko zinzima zikubumbe. Khumbula, yinxalenye yesicwangciso sikaThixo. Ufuna womelele kwaye uxhathise izilingo, ukuze nibe nako ukumelana nokwahlula yonke imeko.
Xa abantu bakukhathaza, ukukutyhola ngobuxoki, Yekela ihambe, kwaye ungakhathazeki ngayo. UThixo uyayazi inyaniso kwaye yeyona nto ibalulekileyo. Uyayazi into eyenzekayo kwaye le yinxalenye nje yenkqubo yamalungiselelo. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuthembela kuThixo kwaye uhlale uthembekile kuThixo.
Ngoko, bambelelani nivuye ninombulelo. Funda iLizwi likaThixo kwaye hlaziya ingqondo yakho ngeLizwi. Thatha iLizwi emlonyeni wakho kwaye uthethe amazwi kaThixo ngokuvakalayo, ukuze womelele kwaye womelele ngokomoya. Zakhe kolona kholo lwakho lungcwele.
