Ukucinga okuqinisekileyo eBhayibhileni
Uyayiqonda loo nto? Ukuba ufuna ukwenza nantoni na nayo yonke into, kodwa ucinga ukuba: Owu, andinakuyenza le nto konke konke…, into ethetha ukuba uqhubeka nokubaleka okwenkukhu exineneyo kwaye ungayi ndawo! Ngelixa uthetha ngokungagungqiyo kwaye uqala nje ukuthandaza, ngequbuliso uzenza zonke ezo zinto?
Ngaba uyabona ukuba ukuba unothando, ukukhuthaza iingcinga ngawe nangabantu abakungqongileyo, ufumana uxolo novuyo ngakumbi kwaye ubudlelwane bakho buba ngcono?
Qaphela ukuba iingcinga zakho zinokuba njengetyhefu emphefumlweni wakho okanye nje ngohlobo lwePokon (ukutya kweentyatyambo) okwenza ukuba uqhakaze kwaye ukhule. Ukhetha ntoni?
Kule veki iingcebiso ezintathu zebhayibhile ngendlela yokugcina iingcinga zakho 'ziyinyani, zibekekile kwaye zicocekile' (KwabaseFilipi 4: 8):
Gcwalisa iingqondo zakho ngelizwi likaThixo
Ukufunda kunye nokufundisisa iLizwi likaThixo ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kuchaphazela intliziyo nengqondo yakho. UMoya kaThixo ufuna ukuba sijonge ngakumbi njengoYesu, kwaye ngokufunda nokufunda ilizwi likaThixo, uMoya oyiNgcwele unokusebenza kuthi. AmaHebhere 4: 12 ithi, Kuba ilizwi likaThixo liphilile, linamandla, libukhali ngaphezu kwekrele elintlangothi-mbini: lingena ngokunzulu apho umphefumlo nomoya, ithambo nomongo zithintana khona, kwaye iyakwazi ukubonwa kunye neengcinga ze-disse intliziyo.
Intle kangakanani loo nto? Ngelishwa, maninzi amaKristu anegama likaThixo elithuliweyo ekhabhathini… nawe? (Oku akujoliswanga njengombuzo wokugweba, kuphela njengokujongana…)
Okanye ngaba uhlala rhoqo-ngokukhethekileyo yonke imihla-uthabatha ixesha lokumamela uThixo ngelizwi lakhe? Nokuba sisivakalisi esinye okanye igama elinye 'ohlafunayo', linokutshintsha ubomi! Uyakufumanisa ukuba uqala ukusebenza kumxholo othile - umzekelo: Ndifuna ukuba nomonde ngakumbi, uThixo andincede kulonto… - uya kutshintsha kancinci kancinci njengoko uchitha ixesha noThixo. Ilungelo elikhethekileyo?
CINGA INYANISO
Ukuba kukho into uMtyholi axakeke kakhulu kuyo, kukuzisa (isiqingatha) ubuxoki ezingqondweni zethu. Ubuxoki yindawo yokuzala yeemvakalelo zokujongela phantsi kunye nokuziphatha okuchaphazela kakubi ubomi bethu. Kwabase-Efese 4:25 bathi, ke ngoko, bekani ubuxoki kwaye nithethe inyani omnye komnye, kuba singamalungu omnye nomnye. Ngamanye amagama: ukuba ucinga okanye uthetha, yima kwaye uzibuze: Ngaba le yinyaniso? Nokuba ubuxoki obuncinci okanye iinyaniso ezingaphelelanga bubuxoki kwaye buxoki busigcina kude nenyaniso kaThixo. Ngelixa sifuna inyani yakhe ukuba siphile ubomi ngendlela eyiyo!
Kumzekelo wokuba uhambahamba njengenkukhu exinezelekileyo kuba ucinga: ‘Nceda! Kuninzi kakhulu, andinakukwenza oku…, kubalulekile ukuba uzibuze: Ngaba oku kuyinyani ngokwenene? Ngaba andinako ngenene? Ukuba uthandaza, uya kuphumla kwaye ngequbuliso uza kubona amathuba onokuwagqiba. Okanye ufika kwisigqibo sokuba uthathe ifula eninzi kwifolokhwe yakho Kwaye kufuneka urhoxise into .(Ngesiqhelo, oku kuhlala kusekwe kubuxoki, umzekelo: Kuya kufuneka ndihlale ndisithi ewe, okanye kufuneka ndomelele, ndingayenza yonke le nto.)
YONDLELA IINGQONDO ZAKHO NGOKUTYA OKUNEMPILO
‘Zondle iingcinga zakho ngokutya okusempilweni’ kuthetha ukuba uyayazi engqondweni into oyivumelayo kwiingcinga zakho. Luhlobo luni lweemagazini okanye iincwadi ozifundayo? Zeziphi iinkqubo ozibukela kumabonwakude okanye kwiNetflix? Kodwa: luhlobo olunjani lwabantu onxulumana nabo? Kwaye bathetha njani?
Into ojongana nayo, wosuleleka, yinto eyaziwayo. Ufuna ukuma njani ebomini? Yintoni i-yakho ukubiza kwaye uza kuyilandela njani? Ukuba ujongana kakhulu nabantu abangakukhuthazi kubizo lwakho, ke kunzima kakhulu ukwenza into ebekwa nguThixo entliziyweni yakho kunokuba unethemba, ukhuthaza abantu abakungqongileyo.
Akunto yanto ukuba sibe nemimandla ekhethekileyo kubo bonke abantu basetyhini abenza uqeqesho kunye nathi. Ukuba singakhuthazana sikhuthazane ukuba senze ukhetho olululo, ukuthembela kuThixo, ukufunda ilizwi lakhe nokubhiyozela kunye xa amanyathelo ephinda ethathwa, kuya kuba lula kakhulu ukwenza oko uThixo (yonke imihla) evela kuthi …
