UKUNIKEZELA AMANDLA OMOYA KUNKULUNKULU
“angaYe izwe libethelwe kimi, nami ngibethelwe ezweni.”
KwabaseGalathiya 6:14
Uma ngigxilisa ingqondo esiPhambanweni sikaKristu, angibi ngumuntu wokuzinikela ozinze emizweni yakhe, okhathalela ubumsulwa bakhe siqu; ngigxila kakhulu ezithakazelweni zikaJesu Kristu. INkosi yethu yayingeyena umuntu ozihlukanisayo noma ozincishayo, ayizange izihlukanise nomphakathi, kodwa ngaphakathi yayihlukanisiwe ngaso sonke isikhathi. Yayingazigodlile, kodwa yayiphila kwelinye izwe. Yayiphila kakhulu ezweni elivamile kangangokuthi abantu benkolo bosuku lwaKhe bayibiza ngesiminzi nesiphuzi sewayini. INkosi yethu ayizange ivumele lutho luphazamise ukunikela kwayo amandla omoya kuNkulunkulu.
Umgunyathi wokunikezela kuNkulunkulu ukuzinqumela izinto ngokuqaphela ngenjongo yokugcina amandla omoya ukuze asetshenziswe kamuva, kodwa lokho kuyiphutha elingenathemba. UMoya kaNkulunkulu ucekele phansi isono sabaningi, nokho akukho kukhululwa, akukho ukugcwala ezimpilweni zabo. Uhlobo lokuphila kwenkolo esilubona lusakazeke yonke indawo namuhla luhluke ngokuphelele ebungcweleni obuqinile bokuphila kukaJesu Kristu. "Angiceli ukuba ubasuse emhlabeni, kodwa ukuba ubagcine kokubi." Kumelwe sibe sezweni kodwa singabi ngabasezwe; sihlukaniswe esisekelweni, hhayi ngaphandle.
Akumelwe sivumele lutho luphazamise ukunikela kwethu amandla omoya kuNkulunkulu. Ukunikezela kuNkulunkulu yingxenye yethu, ukungcweliswa yingxenye kaNkulunkulu; futhi ngamabomu kumelwe sinqume ukukhathalela kuphela lokho uNkulunkulu akukhathalelayo. Indlela yokuxazulula izinkinga ezididayo ukubuza — Ingabe lolu uhlobo lwento uJesu Kristu ayikhathalelayo, noma uhlobo lwento umoya ophambene ngokuphelele noJesu oyikhathalelayo?
