UKWENCIKA EBUKHONENI BUKANKULUNKULU
“Abalindela iNkosi . . . bayohamba bangapheli amandla.”
U-Izaya 40:31
Akukho ukuthokoza okukhulu ekuhambeni; kuwukuvivinywa kwazo zonke izimfanelo ezizinzile. "Ukuhamba ungapheli amandla" kuyizinga eliphakeme kunawo wonke amandla angalifinyelela. Igama elithi "ukuhamba" lisetshenziswa eBhayibhelini ukuveza isimilo — "UJohane ebuka uJesu njengoba Yena ehamba, wathi, Bheka iWundlu likaNkulunkulu!" Akukho lutho olungumqondo nje eBhayibhelini, konke kuhlale kucacile futhi kungokoqobo. UNkulunkulu akasho — Yiba ngowomoya, kodwa — "Hamba phambi kwaMi."
Lapho sisesimweni esingaphilile ngokwenyama noma ngokwemizwelo, sihlala sifuna ukuthokoza okukhulu. Emkhakheni womzimba lokhu kuholela ekulingiseni uMoya oNgcwele ngomgunyathi; ekuphileni kwemizwelo kuholela othandweni oludlulele nasekubhujisweni kokuziphatha; futhi emkhakheni kamoya uma siphikelela ekutholeni ukuthokoza okukhulu, nasekukhuphukeni ngamaphiko, kuyogcina kubhubhise ingokomoya.
Ubuqiniso bobukhona bukaNkulunkulu abuncikile kunoma iyiphi indawo, kodwa buncike kuphela ekuzimiseleni ukubeka iNkosi njalo phambi kwethu. Izinkinga zethu ziqala lapho senqaba ukuncika ebuqinisweni bobukhona baKhe. Okuhlangenwe nakho umhubi akhuluma ngakho — "Ngakho ngeke sesabe, nakuba . . ." kuyoba okwethu lapho sesisekelwe ebuqinisweni, hhayi ekuqapheleni ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu kodwa ebuqinisweni balobo bukhona — Phela, Yena ubelapha sonke isikhathi!
Ezikhathini ezibucayi kudingekile ukucela ukuqondiswa, kodwa akufanele kudingeke ukuba sihlale sithi — "O Nkosi, ngiqondise lapha, nalaphaya." Nakanjani uyosiqondisa! Uma izinqumo zethu zomqondo ophusile zingewona umyalo waKhe, uyodabula phakathi kwazo asimise; khona-ke kumelwe sithule silindele ukuqondisa kobukhona baKhe.
