Indalo iyakhala: Kungani imali, izimakethe kanye nezizwe zilindele amadodana kaNkulunkulu
Ngumpostoli Humphrey
Ibhayibheli limenyezelwe libe yisimemezelo esijulile kwaRoma 8:19: "Ngokulindela okuqotho kwendalo kulindele ngabomvu ukwambulwa kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu." Indalo ayithuli - iyabubula, lilinde ukuthi labo abamiswe uNkulunkulu bavele bayithathe indawo yabo efanele. Kepha indalo ngempela? Ingabe kukhawulelwe ezihlahleni nasezilwaneni, noma kubanzi?
Kulesi sizukulwane, kufanele siqonde ukuthi imali uqobo lwayo iyingxenye yendalo - futhi yebo, imali ebubula nayo. IBhayibheli lithi kuMathewu 6:24, "Awungeke ukhonze uNkulunkulu noMammon," embula ukuthi imali ingaphansi kwethonya elingokomoya. IMammon akuyona nje umqondo; Kungukuphakama - umoya olawula izinhlelo zezomnotho. Uma imali ithonywa ngumoya, khona-ke inezwi. Futhi uma inezwi, khona-ke iyakhala ukuthi ikhululwe ekusetshenzisweni okungalungile.
Imali akuyona nje iphepha noma uhlamvu lwemali - kuyimali yezohwebo , indlela yokushintshana ethathile amafomu amaningi kuwo wonke umlando: isiliva, igolide, usawoti, izinkomo, izimpahla zedijithali, nokuningi. Uhlobo lwemali luvela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kepha umgomo uhlala- Ithuluzi elidaliwe elihlose ukufeza izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu lapho elaliswa ngabaphathi abalungile.
Kodwa-ke, njengaleyo ndalo yonke, imali isebugqilini. KwabaseRoma 8:22 kusho ukuthi, "Ngoba siyazi ukuthi yonke indalo iyabubula futhi isebenza ngokusebenza ngezinhlungu zokuzala ndawonye kuze kube manje." Lokhu kububula kufaka amabhizinisi, izimboni, amasistimu, kanye nezinto ezintsha ezisazozalwa. Bakhala ngokuvela kwamadodana oMbuso - amakholwa avuthiwe aqonda igunya nesabelo sawo.
Le nhlekelele ukuthi labo abehloselwe ukuletha ukukhululwa bavame ukuba bobugqila. EGalathiya 4: 1 Siyachaza, "Indlalifa, inqobo nje uma esengumntwana, ahlukile nakancane encekwini, yize eyiNkosi yakho konke." Uma nje amadodana kaNkulunkulu ahlala engavuthiwe, indalo iyaqhubeka nokuhlupheka. Kunamakholwa abizelwe izizwe ngezimali, izimboni zokuzalwa, futhi aphazamise izinhlelo ezinobuthi emisha, kepha zisazovuka. Ziyizindlalifa - kepha izingane ziseMoyeni.
Lesi yisimanga soMkhululi oseyisigqila. NjengoSamsoni, owakhulela ukukhulula u-Israyeli kodwa ngasikhathi sinye wazithola eboshwe yisitha abizelwe ukunqotshwa (abahluleli 16), amadodana amaningi kaNkulunkulu asebugqilini - ngokomoya, ngokomoya, noma ngokwengqondo - abakwazi ukwenza amagunya abo. Ukukhala kwendalo akulandelwanga ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange amise abakhululi, kodwa ngoba labo abakhululi abake bavukile noma basukuma.
Sabona lokhu kunamandla empilweni ka-Elija. Kuyoku-1 AmaKhosi 19: 15-16, uNkulunkulu wamyala ukuba agcobe ukuba agcobe njengenkosi ngenxa yeSiriya, uJehu njengenkosi kwa-Israyeli, no-Elisha njengomprofethi esikhundleni sakhe. Kepha u-Elija wagcoba kuphela u-Elisha. Abanye kwakufanele balinde, futhi kanjalo nezizwe zabo. Kwenzekani lapho umprofethi edelela ukulalela? Wonke amathuba anqunyelwe. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi kukhona abaholi, abasunguli, ama-CEO, kanye nabaguquli abasekulindele ukuthi uthathe indawo yakho?
Amabhizinisi ayakhala azelwe. Izimakethe ziyakhala zihlengiwe. Izinhlelo ziyakhala ziguqulwe. Kepha bahlala ebugqilini ngoba amadodana kaNkulunkulu - abanemibhalo yaphezulu negunya loMbuso - alikabonakali. Lamadodana akuwona nje abaholi abangokomoya; Bangamadoda nabesifazane babizelwe kwezepolitiki, ezomnotho, ezemfundo, ubuciko kanye nezobuciko. Ukuba khona kwabo kuletha ukuqondanisa endalweni.
Umkhuleko wami ulula: ukuthi uzovuka. Ukuthi ngeke usaqhubeka njengomntwana ngokomoya, kepha ukhule ungene ekuvuthweni okudingekayo ekubuseni. Ukuthi ngeke ubambezele njengo-Elija, ungaweli njengoSamsoni, kodwa ukuthi niyohamba ngokuhlakanipha njengoJosefa, ngesibindi njengoJesu, ngilibhekele amazibulo phakathi kwamadodana amaningi.
Indalo iyakhala. Imali iyakhala. Izizwe ziyakhala. Futhi bakulindile.
Inkosi ikubusise
