Izinga up
Umphostoli uPawulu wamemezela, "Kepha ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngiyikho okukhona, nomusa wakhe kimi awuzange ube yize; kodwa ngakhandleka kakhulu kunabo bonke, kodwa mina nomusa kaNkulunkulu owawunami . " (1 Kor. 15:10, NKJV). Leli vesi lembula ukuqaphela kukaPawulu okujulile ngomusa kaNkulunkulu empilweni yakhe. Kodwa-ke, akazange ancike emcabangweni nje ngokuzikhandla - wasebenza ngenkuthalo, walisebenzisa ngokugcwele isidingo saphezulu esinikezwe wona.
Lo mgomo uyabonakala kuyo yonke imiBhalo. Cabanga lapho uNkulunkulu ecela uMose, "Yini leyo esesandleni sakho?" (Eksodusi 4: 2). Umbuzo wawungeyengenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu angazi, kodwa ngoba wayefuna ukuthi uMose aqaphele lokho okwakuvele kutholakala kuye. Ngokufanayo, yini onayo ukuthi uNkulunkulu anganda? Yimaphi amakhono, izipho, noma izinsizakusebenza uNkulunkulu angazisebenzisa ukukuphakamisa ezingeni elilandelayo?

Imishini ikhona, kepha izinga labo lamanje alibafanelekeli ukusetshenziswa kwalo. Isimiso esifanayo siyasebenza ekuhambeni kwethu ngokomoya. Abaningi bathole izithembiso, abavuni, nezibusiso ezivela kuNkulunkulu, kepha abakakhuphuke ngomusa ukuze bazithole ngokugcwele.
UPowula waliqonda leli qiniso. Wabona ukuthi umusa wawuphezu kwakhe, kodwa futhi wayazi ukuthi kufanele asebenze. Lapho uNkulunkulu enikeza isithembiso, kuyisimemo sokufinyelela ngokomoya ngokomoya. Njengoba nje "kufunwa okuningi, kuzodingeka okuningi kuye" (Luka 12:48), kufanele sithandazele ukwanda komusa ukuze sisebenzele ezingeni likaNkulunkulu asibiza.
Ukukhula komusa
Yini uPowula anawo amnaye wamenza wathi, "Ngiyikho engingomu ngomusa kaNkulunkulu" ? Iqiniso ngukuthi konke esikuthola empilweni ngomusa.

(2 Petru 3:18). Isambulo sanda ngomusa, nomusa unika amandla ukufinyelela ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu.
Enye yezambulo ezinkulu kakhulu ukuthi ikholwa lingathola ukwambulwa kukaKristu. "Izinto eziyimfihlo zingezikaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, kepha lezo zinto ezembuliwe zingezethu nasezinganeni zethu kuze kube phakade." (Dut. 29:29). Lapho simazi ngokwengeziwe uJesu, lapho sikhula kakhulu emseni. UGrace yi-ENABEMNable yaphezulu enikeza izithembiso ezinkulu zikaNkulunkulu.
UGrace noCharisma

Izipho, amakhono, nomusa woza ngomusa, kepha ngaphandle kokukhula ngomusa, umuntu angaswele amandla okuzikhandla ngokugcwele. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ukuphumelela kwezezimali, ukukhushulwa, noma ithuba obukade uthandazela ukuthi alibonakali ngoba awukawutholi umusa olwanele ongawuthola?
Ukubizwa emthandazweni
