Ukubambezeleka noma ukwenqaba: kusuka esithembisweni kuya ekugcwalisekeni

IBhayibheli lithi, "Kulomhlaba, uzoba nenkinga. Kepha thatha inhliziyo! Nginqobile umhlaba. " (Johane 16: 33). Lesi sitatimende siyasiqinisekisa ukuthi yize ukumelana nezinselelo kungavela, azinankinga nesithembiso sokunqoba. Ake sibheke lokhu ngokujulile kulokhu ngendaba kaSara no-Abrahama.

UNkulunkulu usondela kuSara lapho eneminyaka engama-60 futhi ethembisa ukuthi uzoba ngunina wezizwe. Kodwa-ke, kuthatha iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 kwalesi sithembiso esizokwenzeka. "Ingabe kukhona okunzima kakhulu eNkosini? Ngesikhathi esimisiwe ngiyobuyela kuwe, ngokwesikhathi sokuphila, uSara abe nendodana. " (UGenesisi 18:14). Umuntu angase azibuze, bekungeke kube lula yini uma uNkulunkulu eseyilindile kuze kube unyaka wama-20 anikeze isithembiso futhi asifeze ngalowo nyaka? Kungani uNkulunkulu ebambezela ukugcwaliseka kwezithembiso zakhe?

Ukhiye ulele lapho kulungiswa. Lapho isithembiso sidedelwe kuSara, yena no-Abrahama futhi akekho no-Abrahama wayesesimweni esifanele sokuzibonisa. Into yokuqala uNkulunkulu ayala u-Abrahama ukuba ayenze ukushiya izwe likayise. "INkosi yayishilo ku-Abrama ukuthi: 'Suka ezweni lakho, abantu bakho nomndeni wakho, ngizokukhombisa.'" (UGenesise 12: 1). UNkulunkulu wayazi ukuthi ukube u-Abrahama wahlala ezweni likayise, isithembiso singonakaliswa yilona amathonya waleyondawo. UNkulunkulu ufuna isithembiso sokuba msulwa futhi ungathinteki ngamandla angaphandle.

Lapho uNkulunkulu ekunika isithembiso, kungahle kube nenqubo yoshintsho oludingekayo ngaphambi kokuthi ibonakale. Njengoba nje u-Abhrahama kwadingeka ashiye izwe lakubo, sivame ukuguqulwa ngendlela ethile ukuvumelanisa nesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu. Ngeshwa, abantu abaningi bayamelana nalolu shintsho, futhi ngenxa yalokho, isithembiso sihlala singagcwaliseki.

Cabanga nje ngezicathulo zikaSarah. Uphile impilo yakho yonke inyumba, futhi njengoba nje wamukela leli nto, othile uza futhi akutshele ukuthi uzoba nengane. "INkosi yamvakashela uSara njengokusho ayeshilo, uJehova wenza ngoSara njengoba ayekhulumile." (UGenesisi 21: 1). Unyaka wokuqala udlula - akekho. Unyaka wesibili - akasekho ingane. USara uqala ukungabaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma naye ngempela. Ekukhungathekeni kwakhe, unikeza inceku yakhe uHagari ku-Abrahama, ecabanga ukuthi mhlawumbe le nkinga yayinaye. "Manje-ke u-Abrama wayesehlala eKhanani iminyaka eyishumi, umkakhe wamthatha incekukazi yaseGibhithe uHagari wamnika umyeni wakhe ukuba abe ngumkakhe." (UGenesisi 16: 3). Kepha lapho uHagari ekhulelwa, uSara waba munyu kakhudlwana futhi wathukuthela.

Kukangaki lapho sizizwa njengoSarah, silinde isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu futhi sikhule siphelelwe isineke lapho kungenzeki ngokushesha njengoba besilindele? ETestamenteni eNtsha, sibona indaba efanayo lapho uJesu ethola izwi lokuthi uLazaru, uyagula. Esikhundleni sokujaha ukumphulukisa, uJesu ubambezela ezinye izinsuku ezimbili. "Ngakho-ke lapho ezwa ukuthi uLazaru uyagula, wahlala lapho eza ezazinsuku ezimbili." " (Johane 11: 6). Ngesikhathi efika, uLazaru usevele wafa. Nathi, sikhala kuNkulunkulu, sifuna ukuba athathe isinyathelo ngokushesha, kepha isikhathi sakhe siphelele. Ukubambezeleka akuyona ukwenqatshwa kepha ukusetha kwesimangaliso esikhulu. "Wayesethi uJesu:" Angikutsheli yini ukuthi uma ukholwa, uzobona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu? '" (Johane 11:40).

Kwakuyisimangaliso esikhulu sokuthi uSara akhulelwe endabeni yakudala. Kwakuyisimangaliso esikhulu kuLazaru ukuvuswa kwabafileyo. Ngendlela efanayo, lapho uNkulunkulu egcwalisa izithembiso zakhe empilweni yakho, kuzoba ubufakazi obukhulu ngenxa yenqubo odlule kuyo. Ngesikhathi isithembiso sakho sibonisa, uzokwazi ukuthi kwakungumusa kaNkulunkulu kuphela. "Kepha ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngiyikho engiyikho, nomusa wakhe kimi wawungenamphumela." (1 Kor. 15:10).

Ungapheli amandla uNkulunkulu. Izithembiso zakhe azize zehluleke. "ILwizwi lami liphuma emlonyeni wami: Ngeke libuyele kimi, kepha lizofeza engikufisayo futhi ngifeze inhloso engiyithumele yona." (Isa. 55:11). Yebo, kungathatha isikhathi, kepha cabanga ngendaba kaSara. Walinda, kepha ekugcineni, isithembiso sagcwaliseka.

Isizathu sokuthi isithembiso singabonakala sibambezelekile empilweni yakho yingoba awukabi ngumuntu osesithembiso enzelwe. Lapho uNkulunkulu etshela uSawule ukuthi wayezoba yinkosi, into yokuqala eyenzekile ukuthi uSawule waba yindoda ehlukile. "Njengoba uSawule aphendukela kuSamuweli, uNkulunkulu washintsha inhliziyo kaSawule, futhi zonke lezi zibonakaliso zagcwaliseka ngalolo suku." (1 Samuweli 10: 9). Ngithandazela ukuthi ube yindoda noma owesifazane ukulungele ukuthola ukugcwaliseka kwezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu empilweni yakho.

Akunandaba noma ngabe ubhekene nalokhu, ngimemezela ukuthi uzobona ukugcwaliseka kwazo zonke izithembiso zokuphila kwakho, egameni likaJesu. Amen.
