Siphila ezweni elizicabangela lona, lapho yonke into izungeza kumuntu. Abantu abaningi abajabulile futhi abazazi ukuthi bangobani ngempela futhi bazizwa bengelutho ngaphakathi. Bafuna injabulo enkulu ekuphileni futhi bavale leso sikhala sangaphakathi. Abaningi bacabanga lokho ngokuzitholela ubuyena bangempela, bayothola ukuthula nenjabulo abayifunayo futhi umuzwa wobuze uyanyamalala. Ngokusebenzisa amafilosofi nezindlela, bazama ukuthola ubuyena bangempela beqiniso. Bahlaziya ukuziphatha kwabo bese bemba okwakudala ukuze bathole izimpendulo. Ngoba bafuna ukuziqonda futhi bachaze ukuziphatha kwabo ngokusekelwe esikhathini sabo esidlule. Kodwa abantu, abafuna ukuzithola abasoze bazithola kodwa balahleke futhi babhajwe esikhathini esedlule. Lapho umuntu ejula, yilapho umuntu egcina engajabule futhi ecindezelekile. Ukube abantu bebelazi iqiniso, leyompilo ayikona ukuzitholela wena kodwa ukuthola uJesu.
Ukuzithola kukuthandela kuwebhu yamanga nenkohliso
Hhayi abangakholwa kuphela, abangakwenzi ukwazi uJesu Kristu, zimba esikhathini esidlule ukuze uthole ubuyena bangempela. Kodwa namaKristu amaningi, abathi bakholelwa kuJesu Kristu futhi bamenza iNkosi phezu kwezimpilo zabo, yenza okufanayo. Bagxila kubo futhi babambe okuhlangenwe nakho kwabo okudlule, ukuze bathole ubuyena bangempela. Kodwa esikhundleni sokuzitholela ubunjalo babo bangempela, babhajwe ochungechungeni lwamanga nenkohliso.
Lapho abantu baba azalwe kabusha emoyeni, ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, bayobeka phansi inyama yabo; ikhehla). Baphenduka indalo entsha futhi umuntu omdala nomlando wakhe ngeke esaba khona.
Ngemva kokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, izimpilo zabantu ngeke zisazungeza bona futhi bathokozise inyama, ukufeza inkanuko nezifiso zayo. Kunalokho, izimpilo zabantu zizungeza kuJesu nendlela abangamthokozisa ngayo futhi bamphakamise futhi badumise uBaba.
Lapho abantu bemba endulo, befuna ubunjalo babo bangempela, kusho ujuthi, ukuthi umuntu omdala wenyama usaphila futhi ukhona. (Funda futhi: Musa ukuwela emgodini wesikhathi sakho esedlule).
Uma ungadeli umuntu omdala awukwazi ukuba ngumuntu omusha
Inqobo nje uma ungakwenzi alikhumule ikhehla, awusoze waba ngumuntu omusha, indalo entsha, ohamba emva kukaMoya ngokulalela iZwi entandweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba 'uqobo' (inyama) usahlezi futhi ubusa esihlalweni sobukhosi sempilo yabantu.
Ngakho-ke bayohlala bematasa bebodwa, ukuthola ubunjalo babo bangempela nokuhlaziya ukuziphatha kwabo.
Bayohlala begxile kubo. Ngenxa yalokho, abasoze baba umuntu (indalo entsha), ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabadala baba yikho.
UJesu uthi: ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho: futhi noma ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uyakuthola (Mathewu 16:25)
Mathewu 16:25 kusho, ukuthi uma ufuna ukulandela uJesu, uzozikhohlwa ukhohlwe izinto ozithakaselayo. Uzogxila kuJesu Kristu; iZwi futhi uhambe ngendlela efanayo noJesu.
IBhayibheli liyiZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi liyoba igunya eliphakeme kakhulu ekuphileni kwakho. Ngenxa yalokho, uyalalela uhlale lalela iZwi, futhi uhambe entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
Ungamtholaphi uJesu?
Ungamthola uJesu eBhayibhelini; iZwi, ngoba uJesu uyiZwi eliphilayo. uJesu waba yinyama futhi wahamba kulomhlaba. Kuphela ngegama, uyokwazi uJesu Kristu kanye nentando Yakhe, okuhambelana nentando kaBaba.
ULizwi waba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, (sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo njengeyozelwe yedwa kuYise) egcwele umusa leqiniso (UJohane 1:14)
Ingabe uzizwa unesizungu futhi ungenalutho?
KunamaKristu amaningi, abacabanga ukuthi bamtholile uJesu, kodwa usazizwa unesizungu futhi ungenalutho. Bakhungethwe yimicabango emibi kanye nemizwa yokucindezeleka nokukhathazeka futhi abajabule ngempela. Mhlawumbe bazokwenza sengathi bajabule phambi kwabanye. Uma beya esontweni noma bephakathi kwamakholwa, bagqoke ubuso obujabulile bathi konke kuhamba kahle.
Kodwa uma isiphelile inkonzo yesonto bagoduke, babhekana nesizungu kanye nokungabi nalutho ezimpilweni zabo futhi baphinde bakhungethwe yizo zonke izinhlobo zokubi, -nokufisa, kanye nemizwa yokucindezeleka.
Bazozama ukuhlala bematasa futhi babheke zonke izinhlobo zokuphazamiseka ukuze bahlale bematasa. Ukuze bangeke babhekane nemizwa yabo yangempela. Kodwa leyo akuyona indlela yokuxazulula inkinga.
Lapho usuthole uJesu Kristu, ubuze buzoshabalala ngokushesha. Ngoba uthole ukuPhila nendawo yakho yeqiniso.
Ngemva kokuthola uJesu, kubalulekile ukuthi yiziphi izinto owondla ngazo ingqondo yakho nokuthi yiziphi izinto ochitha isikhathi sakho kuzo.
Ingabe uchitha isikhathi noBaba noJesu uJesu; iZwi futhi ufuna izinto, ezingenhla? Noma ingabe uchitha isikhathi sakho kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezinto zenyama futhi wondle ingqondo yakho ngenyama ukuzijabulisa nifune okusemhlabeni?
Uvuna okutshalile
Inqobo nje uma ugxile kuwena futhi uphila ngokulandela izifiso zenyama nezinkanuko zenyama yakho, khona-ke le mizwa engemihle yokucindezeleka nokukhathazeka isala empilweni yakho. Ngoba uzoyenza vuna lokho okutshalile.
Lapho uhlwanyela enyameni yakho, niyakuvuna ukonakala kwenyama (KwabaseGalathiya 6:8).
Kodwa uma wondla ingqondo yakho ngeZwi futhi uchithe isikhathi Naye, uhlwanyela emoyeni wakho. Uyovuna izithelo isithelo sikaMoya; ukholo, uthando, ukuthula, ukubekezela, injabulo, injabulo, njll. futhi ekugcineni, uyakuvuna ukuphila okuphakade.
Kungani Impilo ingekona ukuzitholela wena kodwa ukuthola uJesu
Lapho uqhubeka nokufuna ubuwena bangempela, ngokusebenzisa izindlela zomhlaba, ngeke ukuthole ukuphila kweqiniso, kodwa ukufa. Kuphela uma uthola uJesu, uthola ukuphila okuphakade futhi ukhululwe emandleni ombuso wobumnyama.
Lokhu kuphila okukuJesu Kristu kuyokunika ukuthula, injabulo, kanye nenjabulo obukade uyifuna.
Umhlaba ufuna ukuthi ugxile kuwena futhi uzitholele wena. Ukuze ubanjwe emangeni kasathane futhi uqhubeke uphila ebumnyameni nalo lonke usizi lwabo.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu ufuna unikeze ukuphila kweqiniso, ngeNdodana yaKhe uJesu Kristu. UNkulunkulu unguMdali wakho futhi uNkulunkulu ukwazi kangcono kunanoma ubani omunye. UNkulunkulu wazi kahle ukuthi yini oyidingayo ukuze ube ngumuntu afuna ube yikho.
Ukuphila kulo mhlaba akukhona ukuzitholela wena, kodwa kumayelana nokuthola uJesu. Yingakho wonke umuntu emhlabeni edinga uJesu Kristu!
