Ukukhulisa Umlandeli kaKristu (Ingxenye 2)

Izolo sizamile ukuphendula eminye yemibuzo emikhulu esingaba nayo ngokukhulisa umlandeli kaKristu okhubazekile, onezidingo ezikhethekile noma ohlukile. Manje, ake sixoxe ngezindlela ezinhlanu ezijabulisayo esingafundisa ngazo izingane zethu ezinezidingo ezikhethekile ngoJesu, kungakhathaleki ubudala bazo noma izinga lekhono!

1. Yiba isibonelo. Ngabuza umngani wami u-Alice—esamuzwa ekuqaleni ngoSuku lwesi-4—ukuthi uludlulisela kanjani ukholo lwakhe endodaneni yakhe, futhi yilokhu akusho: “Ngibona ukholo lwami njengobunjalo, ingxenye yalokho engiyikho hhayi into esohlwini lwami lwezinto okufanele ngizenze. Ngingumlandeli kaKristu. Umoya engiwuphefumulayo, ukudla engikudlayo, nokunye engikufunayo. Ngikwenza kube ingxenye ejwayelekile, yemvelo futhi evamile yosuku lwami. Lapho ngibona uNkulunkulu esebenza, kungakhathalekile ukuthi usemvelweni, ezimpilweni zabantu noma ezimweni, ngizama ukubeka iphuzu ukuze ngihlanganyele lokho engikuphawulile. Nsuku zonke ngiba nengxoxo ethile ngoNkulunkulu … Uma ufuna uNkulunkulu, uyohlala umthola. Ngizama ukwenza lokhu kube ingxenye evamisile yokuphila komndeni wethu—ukuthola uNkulunkulu ngokujwayelekile futhi wabelane ngakho.”

2. Thandazani ndawonye. Umthandazo ungokoqobo. Kungase kube into engokoqobo kunazo zonke thina bazali esingakwenza empilweni engokomoya yezingane zethu. Lapho uthandaza ngokuzwakalayo, ingane yakho ingase ihlanganyele nawe enhliziyweni yayo. Kungenzeka awusoze wazi umthelela owenziwe imithandazo yakho enganeni yakho ngapha kwezulu. Uma ingane yakho ikwazi ukuphinda amagama ngemva kwakho, yivumele iphindaphinde imithandazo. Uma bekwazi ukukhuluma nawe, babuze ukuthi bafuna ukukhuluma ngani noNkulunkulu. Khona-ke, ningakhuluma noNkulunkulu ngalokho ndawonye. Umthandazo uyisibopho, hhayi nje phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, kodwa naphakathi komzali nomntwana.

3. Hlanganisa uNkulunkulu ezindleleni zakho zansuku zonke. Lapho uya ekwelapheni, cela uNkulunkulu ukuba anikeze abelapha ingane yakho ukuhlakanipha ukuze baqonde ukuthi yini ezosiza ingane yakho ukuba isekeleke. Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi ungasisingatha kanjani isifo esinzima, indlela yakho yokuqala yokuzivikela kungaba ukucela ukuhlakanipha kuNkulunkulu kokuthi izinyathelo zakho ezilandelayo kufanele zibe yini. Lapho usiza ingane yakho ukuba igqoke, ungambonga uNkulunkulu ngokuzwakalayo ngokudala umzimba wayo nokukunikeza izingubo zogqoka. Lapho ufundisa isimiso esisha, ungaxoxa nengane yakho ngendlela uNkulunkulu adala ngayo umhlaba wonke ukuze usebenze ngokuhlelekile, njengoba nje isimiso sethu esisha sokuxubha sizogcina amazinyo ethu ehlelekile! 

4. Thola ikharikhulamu esebenzela ingane yakho. Ingabe uyazi ukuthi yini ingane yakho engajabulela ukuyibuka ukuze ifunde ngoNkulunkulu nangobunkulunkulu? Akufanele neze kube into efanayo ontanga yabo abasathuthuka abangayijabulela! Kuningi okuqukethwe kwamahhala ongakuthola ku-www.life.church/kids komndeni wakho. Ngiyalazi iqembu lentsha okwamanje elihlanganayo ngoLwesithathu ebusuku. Ngamunye wentsha unokukhubazeka kokukhula. Njengamanje basebenzisa ikharikhulamu Yezingane Ezisencane evela ku-LifeKids futhi bayayithanda! Bafunda imiBhalo futhi bayakwazi ukucaphuna abakufundile emindenini yabo nasezikoleni zabo. Wonke amavidiyo nomculo kuyatholakala ku-inthanethi ukuze ukubukele ekhaya. 

5. Yenze ibe umculo. Enye yezindlela zomndeni wami eyintandokazi yokuthola injabulo ekuhambeni kwethu noNkulunkulu iwumculo. Ingxoxo yokuqala yendodana yami (ngaphandle nje kokuphindaphinda noma yini engisanda kuyisho kuyo) yilapho icaphuna amazwi engoma ayewafunde esontweni. Umculo usithinta ngezindlela ezijulile nezinhle. Ingabe ingane yakho inosuku olubi? Zama ukudlala umculo wokudumisa futhi ubuke isimo sekhaya lakho sikhuphuka kancane.  

Singahola ngesibonelo. Singazithanda izingane zethu. Singabanikeza indawo lapho uJesu eyingxenye yolimi oluvamile lwansuku zonke. Singathandaza. Singakwazi ukwelulela umusa kithi lapho sikhathele futhi singatholi lutho olulungile lokuba umzali inyanga yonke! Futhi—okungcono kakhulu—singabuka njengoba uNkulunkulu eziveza kithi nasezinganeni zethu ngezindlela okungenzeka sasingakaze sizilindele.

Ijenali: Ingabe wena nomndeni wakho nenza noma iyiphi yalezi zinto ezinhlanu? Ungakwazi yini ukuqala? Ingabe zikhona ezinye izindlela ongalingisa ngazo uJesu emndenini wakho?
