UNkulunkulu Ufuna Umbeke Phambili Enhliziyweni Yakho

Emphakathini wanamuhla, abaningi basekela ukubaluleka kwabo kwiNgcebo, ukuthi baphakeme kangakanani “esitebhisini sebhizinisi,” ukuthi ibhizinisi labo liphumelela kangakanani, noma nje ukuthi ubani abamaziyo.

Kodwa uma umbono wethu ngokubaluleka usekelwe kulezi zinto, siyozizwa sijabule ngokwethu kuphela lapho sichuma kulezi zindawo. Lapho ingcebo yethu nempumelelo yethu incipha, ukuzethemba kwethu kuyoba ngenxa yokuthi isisekelo sethu asiqinile. UJesu ukuchaza kanje:

“Kepha owezwayo amazwi ami, angawenzi, ufana nomuntu owakha indlu emhlabathini, ingenasisekelo; Ngesikhathi izikhukhula zifika kuleyo ndlu, yabhidlika futhi kwaphela nje ngayo.”NgokukaLuka 6:49

Ubuthina buqine njengesisekelo esizakhele phezu kwaso. Ngokumisa ubuthina esisekelweni esiqinile sikaJesu Kristu, umuzwa wethu wokugcwaliseka ekuphileni ngeke uncike ekushintsheni kwesimo sezinto zesikhashana.

Uma uKristu eyisisekelo sethu, ukuzinza kwethu kunjena:

“Ufana nomuntu owakha indlu, wemba washonisa, wabeka isisekelo edwaleni. Lapho kufika uzamcolo, isikhukhula sashaya leyo ndlu kodwa asikwazanga ukuyinyakazisa, ngoba yayakhiwe kahle.” Luka 6:48

Awucabanga kancane ngezinqumo eziningi ongase ube nazo ekuphileni ukuze wakhe isisekelo sakho sokubaluleka phezu kwazo.Lokhu kungafaka ingcebo, umsebenzi, ukubukeka, umndeni, udumo, amandla noma umuntu omaziyo.Ingabe bakhona abanye ongabacabanga? Kuzo zonke izinto okumele sibonise ukuthi singobani kuzo, nguJesu kuphela osiqinisekisayo ngokuphila kobuKristu okunqobayo.

Kodwa uma uhlola ezinye izinqumo, akukho okubi noma okubi ngokwemvelo. Eqinisweni, kokuningi ,kunezinto eziningi, ziyizingxenye ezibaluleke kakhulu zomthwalo wezimfanelo uNkulunkulu asinike zona ekuphileni kwethu. Kodwa encwadini kaMathewu, uJesu usisiza ukuba sithole uzinzo.

“Ngakho-ke ngithi kini: Ningakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu, ukuthi niyakudlani noma niphuzeni; noma ngomzimba wenu, ukuthi niyakwembathani. Ukuphila akubalulekile yini kunokudla, nomzimba ubalulekile kunezingubo? Bhekani izinyoni zezulu; azihlwanyeli, azivuni, azibutheli eziphaleni, kepha nokho uYihlo osezulwini uyazondla. Anibalulekile yini nina ngaphezu kwazo na? Mathewu 6:25-26.

Lapho sixazulula leli qiniso ezimpilweni zethu, sithola ukuthula nokwaneliseka, ngaphandle kotatazela nokukhathazeka. Lokhu kuzinza kutholwa lapho sibeka uJesu kuqala kuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila kwethu.

“Kodwa funani kuqala umbuso wakhe nokulunga kwakhe, khona konke lokho kuyakwenezelwa nina.” NgokukaMathewu 6:33

Sonke sinamaphupho, izinhloso kanye nezifiso ngoba uNkulunkulu wasidala ukuba sibe njalo. Kodwa ukubeka uJesu kuqala kufanele kukuholele ekuhloleni izinto eziza kuqala kuwe nezisusa zakho zokuthi kungani ulangazelela ukwenza noma ukuzuza izinto ozifisayo. Uma Engowokuqala emaphusheni nasezifisweni zakho, ikusasa lakho lizogcwala ubukhulu nenjabulo!

Lapho uNkulunkulu ekulethela isisusa esingabazisayo ukuthi usinake, impendulo yakho ebaluleke kakhulu kufanele ibe ukuzimisela ukwenza izinguquko. Ukushintsha kungase kube nzima ngezinye izikhathi, kodwa uNkulunkulu uhlale ecabanga ngakho konke okusemandleni ethu, futhi ufuna ukhule ngokomoya.
