Ukholo Esenzweni

Ngokukholwa u-Abrahama walalela ebizwa ukuba aye endaweni abeyakuyithatha ibe yifa lakhe, wahamba, nakuba wayengazi lapho eya khona. KumaHebheru 11:8 NIV

Emva kwezigameko ezibuhlungu zokuwa kuGenesise 3, kanye nokuwa okwalandela, sethulwa ku-Abrahama. UNkulunkulu uza ku-Abrahama (owayewaziwa ngokuthi u-Abrama) futhi enze isivumelwano naye. Uthembisa ukumbusisa futhi amsebenzise ekugcineni alethe isibusiso emhlabeni wonke.

UJehova wayesethi ku-Abrama: “Suka ezweni lakini, nasezizweni zakho, nasendlini kayihlo, uye ezweni engiyakukukhombisa lona. “Ngizokwenza isizwe esikhulu, futhi ngizokubusisa; ngiyakulenza libe likhulu igama lakho, wena ube yisibusiso. Ngiyakubabusisa abakubusisayo, nalowo okuqalekisayo ngiyakumqalekisa; futhi zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyakubusiswa ngawe.” UGenesise 12:1-3 NIV

Ebizwe nguNkulunkulu, u-Abrama walalela. Ivesi 4 liyasitshela, “Ngakho u-Abrama wahamba …” UGenesise 12:4 NIV

Washiya ngemuva konke ayekwazi—abangane, umndeni, induduzo kanye nekhaya lakhe—ukuze alandele uNkulunkulu nomaphi lapho eholela khona. Kungani? Ngoba wayemethemba uNkulunkulu. Wayekholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungokoqobo, ethemba ukuthi uyakhathalela, futhi uzimisele ukulalela. 

Futhi lapho u-Abrahama ethembela kakhulu futhi emlalela uNkulunkulu, wafunda nakakhulu ukuthi uthembekile kangakanani nokuthi ukulalela uNkulunkulu kungcono kangakanani kunokulalela izifiso zethu. 

Ubudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu bufana nobunye ubudlelwano obuningi. Ukwakha ukwethembana kuthatha isikhathi. Ngendlela efanayo yokuba umngani omkhulu nothile ngokuvamile akwenzeki ngokuphazima kweso, futhi akwenzeki ukuba nokholo oluqinile. Kodwa lapho sinobuhlobo isikhathi eside nabanye abantu, sifunda okwengeziwe ngabo, futhi sifunda nakakhulu ukubathanda.

Lolu kwakuwuhambo luka-Abrahama. Ukubizwa nguNkulunkulu nokukhetha ukumethemba nakuba ayengazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani. Ukulinda iminyaka ukuze uNkulunkulu agcwalise isithembiso saKhe sokunikeza yena nomkakhe umntwana. Ukucelwa uNkulunkulu ukuba anikele ngaleyo ngane futhi azimisele ukudlula kukho! 

Impilo ka-Abrahama iyimpilo echazwa ngokukholwa. Yikho waziwa ngokuthi nguyise wokukholwa. 

Nasi esinye sezifundo ezibalulekile esingazifunda ku-Abrahama: 

Ukubona ukwethembeka kukaNkulunkulu kuza ngokumethemba. 

Ukwethembana kwangempela kuholela ekulaleleni. 

Ufuna ukwazi indlela elula yokusho ukuthi umethemba kangakanani umuntu? Bheka ukuthi uzimisele kangakanani ukwenza abakushoyo. 

Uma othile ekunikeza iseluleko, uyasithatha? Lapho becela usizo kuwe, ingabe uyabasiza? Lapho bekutshela ukuthi ungenzi okuthile, uyalalela? 

Manje, ake siguqule ukugxila kokuthi umuntu siye eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba lowo omunye umuntu angase akwazi ngempela ukuthi yini engcono kakhulu futhi angase anikeze iseluleko esibi. 

Kodwa kuthiwani ngamazwi kaJesu? Ingabe uyazinika isikhathi sokutadisha iBhayibheli ukuze uthole lokho uJesu akusho? Ingabe wenza konke okusemandleni akho ukuze wenze lawo mazwi esenzweni? 

Awusoze wakubona ukwethembeka kukaJesu uze ubeke ukholo lwakho esenzweni. 

Inselelo: Cabanga ngempilo yakho nokuthi impilo yakho iyahambelana eduze namazwi kaJesu (noma cha). Ngokusekelwe kulokho kuhlola, ungathi umethemba kangakanani ngempela?
