Oswald Chambers: Ithemba - Isithembiso Esingcwele Isampula

Ukubona ukuthi amandla ami ayisithiyo ekuhlinzekeni kukaNkulunkulu ukuphila kusivula kakhulu amehlo. Umuntu onobuhlakani uyakwazi ukuthembela kubuhlakani bakhe kunokuncika kuNkulunkulu. Umuntu onemali uyakwazi ukuthembela emalini kunokuthembela kuNkulunkulu. Ngakho abaningi bethu bathembela kulokho esinakho endleleni yempahla esikhundleni sokuthembela kuNkulunkulu ngokuphelele. Yonke le mithombo yamandla iyimithombo yobuthakathaka obuphindiwe. Uma sesibonile ukuthi ukuphila kwethu kweqiniso “kufihliwe kanye noKristu kuNkulunkulu,” ukuthi “siphelele kuye,” okukhona “kuye ukugcwala kobuNkulunkulu ngokomzimba,” khona-ke amandla Akhe abonakala ngokukhazimulayo enyameni yethu efayo.

Isikhubekiso esikhulu endleleni yokuthi abanye abantu babe ngabafundi abalula ukuthi banesiphiwo, banesiphiwo kangangokuthi ngeke bamethembe uNkulunkulu. Ngakho susa zonke lezo zinto emcabangweni wobufundi; sonke sinamalungelo alinganayo ngokuphelele, futhi akukho mkhawulo kulokho uNkulunkulu angakwenza kiathi nangathi.

Imibuzo Yokuzindla: Ngithembela ngaziphi izindlela kwizipho zikaNkulunkulu kunoNkulunkulu uqobo? Yini uNkulunkulu angangenza ngiyenze engaphandle kwamandla ami?
