KuJames 1:12, sifunda ukuthi ubusisiwe umuntu okhuthazela ekulingweni, ngoba nxa equliswa, uyakwamukeliswa umqhele wokuphila, lokho iNkosi ekuthembise labo abayithandayo. Izilingo zizofika empilweni. AmaKristu awashiywa ngaphandle ezilingweni ekuphileni. Azolingwa kanjani amaKrestu? Indlela yokubhekana nesilingo ekuphileni ngokweBhayibheli?
Wonke umuntu kufanele abhekane nesilingo
Ubusisiwe umuntu obekezelela ukulingwa: ngoba nxa equliswa, uyakwamukeliswa umqhele wokuphila, lokho iNkosi ekuthembise labo abayithandayo. Umuntu olingwayo makangasho, ngiyalingwa nguNkulunkulu: ngoba uNkulunkulu angeyengwe ngokubi, futhi akalingi muntu: Kepha wonke umuntu uyalingeka, Lapho edonswa yinkanuko yakhe, futhi uyengwe. Khona lapho inkanuko isikhulelwe, kuveza isono: kanye nesono, lapho isiqediwe, uveza ukufa (UJames 1:12-15)
Isono siwukungalaleli amazwi nentando kaNkulunkulu nokulalela amazwi kanye intando kaSathane. Eposini eledlule Ukona noma ukunganano, leso yisinqumo, UJesu wayala ukuthi ungabe usona. Ngakho-ke, uphiwe amandla (isiphathimandla) ukubusa phezu kwesono futhi umelane nesilingo esiholela esonweni.
Wonke umuntu, kuhlanganise nawe, uzolingwa empilweni. Umsebenzi wakho ukumelana nesilingo futhi ungavumeli isilingo.
Lapho umelana nesilingo futhi uhlale ulalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu, uyakwamukeliswa umqhele wokuphila.
UJesu wabathembisa umqhele wokuphila labo, I-WHO Mthanda.
Lokhu kusho, ukuze umqhele wokuphila unikwe labo, ozogcina enze imiyalo yaKhe athi ‘cha’ ekulingweni, futhi ‘cha’ ukona.
Uzolingeka ngoba unesitha; usathane. UDeveli uyohlala ezama ukukubuyisela embusweni wakhe futhi acekele phansi impilo yakho.
Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokukubuyisela embusweni wakhe uma ulalela amazwi akhe futhi ulalele amazwi akhe nezinkanuko zenyama nesono sakho..
Umuntu ulingwa lapho edonswa inkanuko yakhe
Umuntu olingwayo makangasho, ngiyalingwa nguNkulunkulu: ngoba uNkulunkulu angeyengwe ngokubi, futhi akalingi muntu: Kepha wonke umuntu uyalingeka, Lapho edonswa yinkanuko yakhe, futhi ukuyongelwa. Lapho-ke inkanuko isikhulelwe, Kuveza isono: kanye nesono, lapho isiqediwe, Uletha Ukufa (UJames 1:13-15).
Udeveli uyohlale ekulinga futhi ezama ukukubuyisela emikhubeni yakho yangaphambili kanye nempilo yakho yangaphambili, eyayigcwele isono. Konke kuqala ngenkanuko yenyama. Lapho inkanuko ikhulelwa, kuveza isono, isono siveza ukufa.
Ungabhekana Kanjani Nesilingo?
Ungabhekana Kanjani Nesilingo? Hhayi-ke, kubalulekile ukuqaphela empilweni yakho ukuthi inkanuko ingena kanjani futhi ukugweme lokho. Ngaleyo ndlela ngeke ulingwe futhi uholelwe esilingweni. Ingabe kulula kanjalo ukubhekana nesilingo? Yebo, kulula kanjalo, uma uzonda ngempela isono futhi ufuna ukususa isono empilweni yakho. Ngoba uma usazithanda izono zakho, khona-ke ngeke ukwazi ukususa izono zakho.
Lapho usho ngomlomo wakho: “Angifuni ukwenza lokhu”, kodwa enhliziyweni yakho, ucabanga kanjalo: “ngiyayithanda, Angifuni ukukuyeka lokhu”, khona-ke ngeke kube yinto engenakwenzeka ukuyisusa. Lapho isilingo sifika, uzovumela ukulingwa.
Abantu bangakuthandazela ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuze wephule amandla esono phezu kwempilo yakho, kodwa isitha siyohlala sizama futhi asisoze sayeka. Ngakho-ke wena yizo zodwa, ngubani ongayimisa. Nguwe, ongamelana nenkanuko futhi amelane nesilingo. Akekho omunye, ngubani ongakwenzela khona.
Ungagcwalisi inkanuko yenyama, kodwa gcwalisa intando kaNkulunkulu
Indlela yokugwema isilingo ukuqhubeka nokulandela uMoya. Ngoba uma uhamba emva kukaMoya, aniyikufeza izinkanuko zenyama yenu. Ngakho-ke funani okwaphezulu hhayi okukulomhlaba. Susa amehlo akho kuwe futhi ubeke amehlo akho kuJesu Kristu noMbuso Wakhe.
ZAKHAZELWA NGOKUKHOLO LAKHO OKUFANELEKILE. Khuluma ngezilimi, sheshayo, futhi nikhuleke. Okuphakelayo kanye vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu ukuze ube namandla (ngokomoya) futhi nimelane nesilingo, futhi nibulale izenzo zenyama.
‘Yiba usawoti womhlaba’
