Thola i AppUkuzwa Izwi LikaNkulunkuluIsampula
Isithelo Sivela Ezimpandeni Ezijulile
Funda ivesi lanamuhla.
Ngesikhathi sasentwasahlobo, bonke utshani eNingizimu yeCalifornia buphenduka bube luhlaza, izimbali zasendle namaphompi ayaqhakaza, futhi kuhle ngempela. Kodwa lapho izimvula zima, amagquma aphinde abe nsundu. Kungani? Ngoba utshani abunampande. Abukwazi ukushona phansi ngokwanele ukuze zithole amanzi emithonjeni ejulile ngaphansi komhlaba.
Uma izimpande zingekho, lapho isitshalo sisenhlabathini engashoni, singase sihlume ekuqaleni futhi sibukeke sisihle, kodwa asihlali. Izitshalo zibuna ngokushesha ngoba azinayo izimpande.
NgokukaLuka 8:13 uthi: “Abasedwaleni yilabo abathi sebezwile, balamukele izwi ngokuthokoza; kepha laba kabanampande, bakholwa isikhashana nje, kuthi ngesikhathi sokulingwa bahlubuke” (ZUL59).
Izikhathi eziningi sizwa iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi silijabulele, kodwa asilivumeli ukuba lisishintshe. Senza ngokukha phezulu. Sisabela ngokomzwelo. Sinyakaziswa ngokuxhamazela. Kodwa asiliniki isikhathi sokulivumela ukuthi lingene.
Ingabe ngempela ufuna ukuba ngaleyondlela? Cha! Ufuna ukuba umuntu ojulile, hhayi umuntu ongajulile. Ufuna ukuba umuntu onezimpande ezijulile zomoya ukuze kuthi lapho ukwehla komnotho kufika futhi kuthathe iminyaka eminingana, ukwazi ukuqhubeka uthela izithelo. Lapho kufika imimoya enamandla futhi othile emndenini wakini egula noma kushona othile, ukuqulwa kwecala akukususi, ngoba unezimpande.
Uzihlakulela kanjani izimpande ezingokomoya? Kunezindlela ezimbili: isikhathi sansuku zonke noNkulunkulu kanye nesikhathi seqembu elincane masonto onke namanye amakholwa. Kufanele uchithe isikhathi uwedwa noNkulunkulu, futhi kufanele uchithe isikhathi namanye amakholwa.
Uma ungachithi isikhathi noNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, uzokoma futhi uphephethe lapho ingcindezi iphakama. Ngeke ukwazi ukuyimela. Kufanele wenze isikhathi sokulalela phakathi nesikhathi sansuku zonke noNkulunkulu. Kufanele uhlale futhi uthule. Kufanele ufunde iBhayibheli futhi ukhulume noNkulunkulu. Dlala umculo. Uma uthanda ukwenza ijenali, yenza lokho. Noma ngabe yini edingekayo ukuze uhlale ugxile kuNkulunkulu, kwenze!
