Ngokushesha nje lapho usuyisidalwa esisha kuJesu Kristu futhi udluliselwe embusweni wobumnyama uye embusweni kaNkulunkulu, isikhathi sombono wakho sesiphelile. Lapho uba indodana kaNkulunkulu futhi umlandeli kaJesu Kristu, ngakho-ke akukhona ngalokho okucabangayo, thola futhi uzizwe, kodwa kumayelana nalokho Akucabangayo, uthola nemizwa. Akukho mayelana nombono wakho, kodwa kumayelana nombono Wakhe.
Uma nje uqhubeka ulandela inyama futhi ugcwalisa ingqondo yakho ngezinto zaleli zwe, ingqondo yakho nokuhamba kwakho kuzofana nezwe futhi inyama yakho iyobusa empilweni yakho. Kodwa iZwi liyasho, ukuthi ukunaka kwenyama kungubutha kuNkulunkulu, ngoba ukunaka kwenyama akuwuthobeli umthetho kaNkulunkulu, elimelela intando kaNkulunkulu
Ngelulile izandla zami usuku lonke kubantu abahlubukayo, ohamba ngendlela engeyinhle, emva kwemicabango yabo (Isiboshwa 65:2)
Ngoba labo abangemva kwenyama banaka izinto zenyama; Kepha labo abalandela umoya izinto zomoya. Ukuze ube nomqondo wasemnyama; Kepha ukunakekelwa ngokomoya kuyimpilo nokuthula. Ngoba ingqondo yenyama ubutha ngoNkulunkulu: Ngoba akunandaba nomthetho kaNkulunkulu, futhi akunakuba njalo. Ngakho-ke labo abasenyameni ngeke bakwazi ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu (Rom 8:5-8)
Umqondo wenyama ucabanga njengezwe. Kungumqondo wezwe, lokho okudalwe emva kolwazi nobuhlakani bomhlaba, nalokho abantu abakucabangayo, isho, zwa, thola nolwazi. Umqondo wenyama ugxile kuwo uqobo futhi ulungise iZwi likaNkulunkulu libe nombono walo, okutholakele nemizwa. Ngenxa yokuziqhenya okukhona emqondweni wenyama, umqondo wenyama wendalo endala uyohlala uvukela uNkulunkulu futhi awusoze wakwazi ukuzithoba kuNkulunkulu naseZwini Lakhe. Ngakho-ke, ingqondo yenyama ayikwazi ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu.
Ukwehlukana phakathi kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu
Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi akusibo bonke abakholwayo abazibekile phansi owakhe umbono, futhi akashintshile umbono wakhe ngombono kaNkulunkulu, kukhona ukuhlukana okuningi phakathi kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Amakholwa amaningi abambelela embonweni wawo, esikhundleni sokuhlola imibhalo ukuze bathole ukuthi iZwi lithini futhi bamukele futhi basebenzise umbono kaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zabo.
Nokho, uma uphenya imibhalo kubalulekile, ukuthi ufunda iZwi kuMoya oNgcwele nangengqikithi efanele ngoba kungenjalo, usazokwazi ukuphatha nokuguqula amazwi kaNkulunkulu ngale ndlela, ukuthi kuzofanelana nombono wakho kanye nentando yakho.
Kodwa ukuzinikela okuphelele nokuzithoba kuJesu Kristu kusho ukudela intando yakho nombono wakho, futhi intando nombono Wakhe kube yintando kanye nombono wakho. Ukhethe ukulandela uJesu nokumkhonza. Uma ungazimisele ukwenza lokho, pho kungani uzibiza ngomKrestu futhi kungani uya esontweni?
UJesu wayemele intando kaBaba
UJesu usinikeze isibonelo, ukuthi kufanele sihambe kanjani njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. UJesu akazange akhulume amazwi Akhe, kodwa Wakhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Wenza izinto kuphela, ukuthi wayebone uyise ekwenza lalokho ayekufunde kuYise. Yebo, UJesu wayemele intando kaYise.
UJesu wabaphendula, wathi, Imfundiso yami akusiyo eyami, kodwa oNgithumileyo. Uma umuntu eyokwenza intando yaKhe, uzakwazi ngemfundiso, noma kuvela kuNkulunkulu, noma ngizikhulumela ngokwami. Lowo okhuluma okwakhe uzifunela udumo: kodwa lowo ofuna inkazimulo yakhe omthumileyo, okufanayo kuyiqiniso, futhi akukho ukungalungi kuye (Jn 7:16-18)
Kufanele sihambe njengoba uJesu ahamba. Ngoba singabameleli Bakhe futhi simelela uMbuso ofanayo. Ngakho-ke, kufanele siyazi intando yoMbuso, ukuze siphile njengezakhamuzi zoMbuso. Kukho konke okwenzayo nokushoyo, nakuzo zonke izimo, kufanele uzibuze ukuthi “lithini iZwi?”
Lapho uvuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi, kulapho ingqondo yakho izohambisana nendlela uNkulunkulu acabanga ngayo kanye nentando Yakhe.
Uma uhlangana nomuntu, onombuzo noma onenkinga, ngakho-ke akukhona ngokuthi ucabangani ngalolu daba, isimo, inkinga njll. Akukho mayelana nombono wakho, kodwa kumayelana nalokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo eZwini laKhe. IZwi laKhe liyiqiniso futhi likhuluma iqiniso, futhi yingakho iZwi laKhe kuphela eliletha insindiso, injabulo, ukuthula, nokuphila.
Ubani okhuluma iqiniso?
Umhlaba uncike kwisayensi nefilosofi yabantu. Kodwa izikhathi eziningi kuyenzeka, ukuthi isayensi idale umbono, ngokusekelwe ebufakazini besayensi, ukuthi umhlaba uyakweseka futhi ukuthathe njengeqiniso, kodwa ngemva kweminyaka embalwa, Ithiyori izothathelwa indawo enye ithiyori, ngokusekelwe ezintweni ezintsha ezitholwe yisayensi, lokho kuphikisana nethiyori yokuqala. Ngakho-ke singabheka ithiyori yokuqala njengengelona iqiniso, noma amanga. Kodwa ubani okhuluma iqiniso? Ubani ongakholwa futhi umethembe? Ukuphela komuntu, okhuluma iqiniso nguJesu; iZwi.
IZwi likhuluma iqiniso ngoba iZwi liyiqiniso. Yingakho iZwi liwukuphela kwento ekuphileni, ungathemba futhi uthembele kuyo. Lapho uthatha amazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi uvuselela ingqondo yakho ngamazwi Akhe, khona-ke ingqondo yakho izocabanga futhi ikhulume njengoJesu; iZwi. Imicabango yakhe izoba yimicabango yakho, futhi intando Yakhe iba yintando yakho.
Uma ukhuluma amazwi Akhe, uzokhuluma iqiniso. Iqiniso lakhe lingase libhekwe njengolukhuni futhi lingase libhekane nalo futhi lingase libangele nobuhlungu. Kodwa khumbula, ukuthi nina ningusawoti womhlaba (Mat 5:13). Usawoti uyahlanza, kodwa ibuye isetshenziselwe ukwelapha izilonda.
Uma umuntu, ohlangana naye ‘unenxeba’ futhi ukhuluma amazwi eqiniso kaNkulunkulu ekuphileni komuntu, khona-ke kuyoba njengosawoti esilondeni. Kungase kube buhlungu ekuqaleni, Kepha ekugcineni, iyopholisa isilonda. Ngoba iZwi liletha ukuphulukisa, ukuthula, nokuphila kulabo, abafuna ukuzwa nokwamukela iZwi laKhe.
Kodwa inqobo nje uma ulokhu unikeza owakho umbono, lokho okuphefumulelwe yinyama yakho nomhlaba, futhi inqobo nje uma uqhubeka unikeza owakho umbono ngezinto, izimo, kanye nezinkinga, lapho amazwi akho angeke abe namandla noma amancane. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi amazwi akho aphuma enyameni yakho futhi amele umbono nombono wezwe, esikhundleni sombono nombono kaNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe. Kuphela uma ukhuluma amazwi Akhe, Uzobanika amandla. Futhi ngoba izonika amandla amazwi Akhe, Amazwi Akhe azoveza ukuthula nempilo empilweni yakho nasezimpilweni zabanye.
Umlandeli kaJesu ukhazimulisa Yena hhayi abantu
Uma u-a umlandeli kaJesu futhi niMmele, ngeke usaba umngane wezwe. Ikhehla lenyama lifuna ukuhlala lingabangane nezwe futhi lifuna ukujabulisa wonke umuntu ngoba lisaba ukwaliwa. Ngakho-ke balungisa amazwi abo kulokho abanye abantu abafuna ukukuzwa. Kodwa umsebenzi wakho awukona ukujabulisa abantu, kodwa ukumthokozisa. Ngoba uma unqume ukulandela uJesu, ube yinceku yaKhe futhi ukhonze uNkulunkulu, awuzifuneli udumo lwakho kanye nenkazimulo yabantu, kodwa inkazimulo yaKhe.
Yebo, uzokhonza abantu ngeZwi. Kodwa noma usebenzela abantu, awusiyo inceku yabo, kodwa wena uyinceku kaNkulunkulu. UyiNkosi yakho. Kungakho uzokwenza lokho Yena akufunayo futhi usho lokho Akushoyo, futhi siphile ngokwentando Yakhe. Awukwazi ukukhuluma ngokushelela njalo, futhi ujabulisa abantu ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngamazwi nangezenzo zakho. Uma ufuna ukujabulisa abantu futhi ufune ukwamukelwa kwabo, ngakho ungebe yinceku kaKristu. Ngoba uma nje ukhuluma amazwi enyama, okuvela enyameni yakho; imizwelo, imizwa, okutholakele, ukucabanga, futhi intando, lokho kusekelwe phezu kokuhlakanipha nolwazi lwaleli zwe, awusoze wakwazi ukusiza abantu ngempela. Ungaduduza isikhashana futhi udambise ukuzazisa kwabo nomoya wabo wokuzidabukela, Kepha kunjalo.
Kodwa ingabe uvunyelwe futhi unelungelo lokuba nombono wakho?
Umhlaba ukhuthaza abantu ukuthi bathuthukise imibono yabo kanye nentando yabo. Ngoba kubalulekile futhi kuhle uma uthuthukisa umbono wakho siqu. Esikoleni izingane zifunda zisencane, ukungagcini nje ngokuthuthukisa umbono womuntu siqu kanye nencwadi yefa, kodwa bafunda nokuhlonipha imibono yabanye. Ngoba umhlaba usho, ukuthi wonke umuntu kufanele ahloniphe imibono yabanye.
Kodwa ingabe lokho kuyiqiniso ngempela? Ingabe izwe liyabavumela ngempela abanye ukuba babe nombono wabo siqu? Ngoba, uma okholwayo enombono, lokho kuvumelana neBhayibheli, kodwa uyaphambuka emhlabeni, khona-ke ngokuzumayo umhlaba awuhloniphi futhi awusawuvumeli lo mbono. Khona-ke bayothukuthela basole okholwayo ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezinto.
Uma umbono wakho umele umbono kaNkulunkulu, khona-ke awusavunyelwe futhi unelungelo lokuba nombono wakho. Yonke imibono iyahlonishwa, ngaphandle kwemibono yabantu bakaNkulunkulu kanye nabantwana BAKHE. Kulokhu kuziphatha kwezwe, sibona amandla kasathane esebenza ezimpilweni zabantu abaningi, kufaka amakholwa, abanenyama.
Umqondo kaKristu
Uma u vuselela ingqondo yakho ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu, ingqondo yakho iyoqhubeka iqala ukubukeka njengomqondo Wakhe. Ngokuvuselela ingqondo yakho, uzowuthola umqondo kaKristu. Lokhu kusho, ukuthi imicabango Yakhe ibe yimicabango yakho, Ingqondo yakhe izoba yingqondo yakho futhi yingakho umbono Wakhe uba umbono wakho.
Lokhu kuvuselelwa kuyingxenye yenqubo yokungcweliswa uma u alikhumule ikhehla futhi gqoka umuntu omusha. Endaweni yomoya, umuntu omdala usebe yindalo entsha kuKristu. Ngakho-ke, yisikhathi, ukuthi lokho okwenzekile endaweni yomoya, izobonakala endaweni yemvelo.
Inqobo nje uma amakholwa ebambelele embonweni nasekutholeni kwawo, khona-ke lokhu kuvuselelwa akukenzeki ngokugcwele. Amakholwa aseyinyama, okusho ukuthi inyama yabo kanye nezwe (indlela yokwenza) babuse njengenkosi ekuphileni kwabo. Yibo, abahlezi esihlalweni sempilo yabo, esikhundleni sikaKristu. Inqobo nje uma amakholwa ebambelele embonweni wawo, bayoqhubeka bemelela izwe esikhundleni soMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Kubhaliwe…….
Ungabheki futhi ulalele kakhulu ukuthi umhlaba uthini ngoba kuzoba yizithiyo kuphela engqondweni yakho futhi kubambezele ukukhula kwakho ngokomoya.. Uma uqhubeka nokulalela okushiwo umhlaba, futhi ulalele amazwi akhe, imibono kanye nezindlela, futhi ukholwe futhi ukusebenzise ekuphileni kwakho, uzohlala unomqondo wezwe, futhi ubeke umbono wakho phezu kokuhlakanipha nolwazi lwezwe.
Kuphela uma ufunda iZwi futhi ugcwaliswe amazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye nezinto zoMbuso Wakhe, nizokwazi ukumela Yena kanye nombono waKhe. Kubalulekile, ukuthatha isikhathi futhi ulalele lokho Afuna ukukusho kuwe. Uma kunemibhalo eBhayibhelini ongayiqondi, kuhle ukuphinda le mibhalo, zindla ngazo ucele ukucaciselwa nguMoya oNgcwele. Uma wenza lokho, khona-ke Uzokhanyisa amazwi Akhe emoyeni wakho, futhi akwambulele zona, ukuze uqonde amazwi Akhe futhi aphile kuwe.
Lapho amazwi Akhe eyoba aphile kakhulu kuwe, futhi uthatha umbono waKhe, kulapho uzoba umfanekiso Wakhe kulomhlaba.
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
