uGoliyathi Kumele Awe: Ukunqoba Impi Yakho Umelene NemidondoshiyaIsampula

UKUNETHEZEKA KUMELE KUWE

Kungase kubonakale kungajwayelekile ukucabanga ngokunethezeka njengomdondoshiya—njengento esiklolodelayo futhi elimaza ukuphila kwethu. Sonke sifisa ukunikeza imindeni yethu indawo ephephile. Sithanda ukubuyela emuva ekupheleni kosuku sikhumule izicathulo futhi sibukele uhlelo olujabulisayo ku-TV. Sithanda ukuba izinto zihleleke ezimpilweni zethu, hhayi isiphithiphithi. Ayikho kulezi zinto okubulalayo kuzona ngokwazo. Inkinga ivela kuphela lapho isifiso sokuphepha nokuvikeleka siba yindikimba ebusayo ezimpilweni zethu.

Endabeni kaDavide noGoliyati, sibona indlela lesi sifiso esaphazamisa ngayo isizwe sakwa-Israyeli. Ama-Israyeli ayehlaba umkhosi nsuku zonke. Bazilungise baqonda phambili. BabenoNkulunkulu ohlangothini lwabo. Kodwa kwaze kwaphela izinsuku ezingamashumi amane bevinjelwa ukuheha kokukhululeka. UGoliyathi wayephuma njalo ekuseni, ama-Israyeli athi, “Hhayi namuhla. Kuyingozi kakhulu. Masihlale ematendeni lapho kuphephile khona.”

Isithombe esisikhumbulayo endabeni ukuthi uDavide wafika endaweni futhi wenza ngosuku olulodwa lokho impi yakwa-Israyeli eyayingakwazi ukukwenza inyanga nengxenye. Nsuku zonke babelokhu bengabaza. Nsuku zonke induduzo yabo yayibavimba. Usuku nosuku umdondoshiya wawulokhu uqhamuka. Khona-ke uDavide wavela wathi: “Lokhu kuyize nje. Lokhu kuzophela namuhla.”

UNkulunkulu ufuna nawe ubone ngale kokunethezeka futhi ubone ukuthi kukhona okubalulekile okuphakade okumele ulwisane nakho. Ukubizela enjongweni enkulu ongayinikeza induduzo nje. Ufuna ukukunika ithonya langempela. Ufuna ukuba uhambe ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yegama lakhe. Ufuna uphume ngokulalela intando yakhe. Uyakumema namuhla ukuthi uzilungiselele, uqoqe impi yakhe, futhi umelane nesitha.

Ukuzuza ukunqoba phezu komdondoshiya wenduduzo kusho ukuphendula lolu cingo. Kusho ukwenqaba ukulinda "zonke izingcezu zikleliswe" ngaphambi kokwenza umnyakazo. Kusho ukuthi uzimisele ukuya endaweni ongazizwa uyijwayele ekuqaleni. Kusho ukuqonda ukuthi okubaluleke kakhulu ukuhamba ngamandla kaNkulunkulu esikhundleni sakho. Ngokushesha nje lapho usuqonda lokho, usulungele impi. Ulungele ukubekwa endaweni lapho ongafakaza khona ukukhululwa kukaNkulunkulu.

Khumbula ukuthi ukukholwa kuyaphumelela ekuhluphekeni. Isiphambano saletha ubuhlungu kuJesu ngendlela efanayo esaletha inkululeko kuwe. Ngokuvamile kulula ukuvele uzihlalele futhi unqume ukulandela isibonelo sempilo yomunye umuntu—ukuvumela omunye “obiziweyo” ukuthi ahambe ayozifaka engozini. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi uNkulunkulu akabizanga namunye wethu ukuba agweme izingozi zezwe elilahlekile nelifayo. Kunalokho, usibizele ukungena kuwo siphethe inkemba kaMoya ezandleni zethu. Ufuna sithi, “Kumele sisheshe senze imisebenzi esiyabelwe nguye osithumileyo. Ubusuku buyeza, khona-ke akekho ongasebenza.” ( NgokukaJohane 9:4 NLT )

Impilo yakho imfishane kulo mhlaba . . . kodwa uNkulunkulu mkhulu. Ngakho-ke gxila ezindabeni ezibalulekile zaphakade ngenkathi ulapha. Uphila emhlabeni onezigidigidi zabantu abangakaze bezwe ngoJesu. Njengomlandeli kaKristu, unethemba. Unalo iqiniso. Unakho ukuphila. Unaye uJesu. Yilokho okubalulekile: ukwazisa uJesu. Ngakho ngena ekulweni egameni likaJesu!
