Ukubuya: Awukephuzi Kakhulu Futhi Awukho kude KakhuluIsampula

Akwephuzile Kakhulu

Usamsoni wayehloswe uNkulunkulu ukuba enze okuthile okumangalisayo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu, futhi wayenezinto ezimbili ezinkulu ezazimhambela: (1) ubizo olukhulu empilweni yakhe, kanye (2) namandla amangalisayo. empilweni yakhe. Ngamandla lawo, uSamsoni wenza izinto ezimangalisayo. Wabulala ibhubesi ngezandla zakhe. Wabulala amadoda angamashumi amathathu eyedwa. Bangaki abantu obaziyo abangabhekana nezingqinamba ezingamashumi amathathu nanye futhi baphume bewinile?

Kodwa kwakukhona okuthile ngoSamsoni okwakuzomehlisa isikhathi nesikhathi. Ngaphezu kwamandla akhe angavamile kanye nobizo oluvela kuNkulunkulu, impi enkulu yangaphakathi yahlasela phakathi kwendoda—umzabalazo nabesifazane. Ngaphandle, umusa kaNkulunkulu ukuSamsoni futhi uNkulunkulu usamsebenzisa. Kodwa ngaphakathi, isiphepho sasifufusa.

Lowo msindo wangaphakathi ekugcineni wamholela ezingalweni zikaDilala, owamkhaphela esitheni sika-Israyeli, amaFilisti. Usamsoni washayeka kakhulu. Wayebizwe nguNkulunkulu futhi wabekwa eceleni nguNkulunkulu kusukela ekuzalweni kwakhe ukuba ahole abantu bakhe ngesikhathi sesidingo esikhulu, kodwa ekupheleni kokuphila kwakhe, uSamsoni wayeyimpumputhe, eboshiwe, futhi enika amandla amaFilisti okugaya okusanhlamvu. Injini yangaphakathi eyamfaka ebudlelwaneni obungemthetho nabesifazane isikhathi nesikhathi yagcina imemphulile.

Imiphumela yesono yayingokoqobo kakhulu kuSamsoni. Waphuphuthekiswa futhi walahlwa ukuba yisigqila. Kodwa uNkulunkulu uhlala emkhulu kunanoma yimiphi imiphumela. Indaba yokuhlenga kukaNkulunkulu ngeyawo wonke umuntu obeka ithemba lakhe kuJesu ukuze aphile futhi athole insindiso. Usathane angasiwisa, kodwa sizovuka. Indaba yangempela ukuthi uSathane uyehla, ekugcineni naphakade.

Indaba kaSamsoni iphelela ethempelini likaDagoni. Lapho, umahluleli wangaphambili wakwa-Israyeli wathi: “Ngibekeni lapho engingezwa khona izinsika eziseke ithempeli, ukuze ngencike kuzo.” ( AbaHluleli 16:26)

Ithempeli laligcwele phama, futhi kwakukhona izibukeli ezengeziwe eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu phezu kophahla lwalesi senzakalo esikhulu. Yebo, isimo sase simhambela kahle uSamsoni. Yebo, wayekuyekile ukubiza kukaNkulunkulu ukuphila kwakhe futhi wabhekana nemiphumela, kodwa wavuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayesabusa futhi wayesakwazi ukwenza okuthile okumangalisayo ekuphileni kwakhe.

Ethempelini likaDagoni, uSamsoni wakhuleka. Futhi bheka umthandazo okwaba yiwona! “Jehova Wobukhosi, ngikhumbule. (AbaHluleli 16:28). Akuyikho lokho kanye okwakhulekelwa isela esiphambanweni endabeni yalo yokubuya? “Ngikhumbule.”

Ekuhefuzeleni kokugcina kukaSamsoni, amandla kaNkulunkulu abuyela kuye. Ukukhululwa kuka-Israyeli wonke kwaqala usuku lokubuya kwengoma kaSamsoni. Lokho ayengazange akwenze ekuphileni kwakhe wakwenza ekufeni kwakhe, ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu unguNkulunkulu wokubuya.

Leso yisifundo kithi. Akukephuzi kakhulu. Asikahambi kakhulu. Asikaphambuki kakhulu. Unkulunkulu muhle ngaso sonke isikhathi, futhi uhlala esikhumbula. Umthandazo wethu awukona ukuziphindiselela eqenjini labantu, kodwa uwukuqiniswa futhi ukuze siphilele inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Siphusha ngamandla ethu onke kunoma yiziphi izinsika zamatshe ezisigcina siboshiwe. Ngamandla kaNkulunkulu enziwe masha kithi, izindonga zamajele ethu ziyadilika.
