Uthembisa ukududuza labo abasosizini, ukuletha ukuthula nokuphulukiswa ezimpilweni zethu.
Kulezi zikhathi ezinzima, kubalulekile ukuphendukela eZwini likaNkulunkulu ukuze uthole isikhuthazo nesiqondiso. Lamavesi asimema ukuthi sithembele eNkosini futhi simvumele Yena ukuthi abuyise amanxeba ethu emoyeni kanye nangokomoya. Noma ngabe ubuhlungu bethu bujule kangakanani, singathola ukuphulukiswa othandweni Lwakhe olungapheli.
7. Ukubaluleka kokubambelela okholweni ngezikhathi zokulila nokudabuka
Ezikhathini zosizi nokudabuka, kungokwemvelo ngathi ukuzizwa sigajwe usizi nokungaqiniseki. Nokho, ukubambelela okholweni kungasinika induduzo nethemba phakathi nosizi. Ukubaluleka kokugcina ukholo lwethu luqinile kusemandleni alo okusiqinisa futhi asiqondise ekwelapheni imizwelo.
Okokuqala, ukholo lusinikeza umuzwa wenhloso kanye nencazelo ezikhathini ezinzima. Kusisiza ukuthi siqonde ukuthi ukuzwa kwethu ubuhlungu kuyingxenye yesu elikhulu futhi kusimema ukuthi sithembe ukuthi kunenhloso ngezimo zethu. Ngokubambelela kulolu kholo, sithola induduzo ngokwazi ukuthi asisodwa, ukuthi kunoMuntu oPhakeme okuqondayo ukuhlupheka kwethu futhi ohamba nathi kuzo zonke izinyathelo zendlela.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukholo lusinikeza amandla adingekayo ukuze sibhekane nezinselele ezingokomzwelo esibhekana nazo phakathi nosizi. Kusivumela ukuthi sithole ithemba phakathi kokuphelelwa ithemba futhi kusisiza ukuba sithole induduzo nenduduzo ezimfundisweni zikamoya eziyonkeneneza ezinhliziyweni zethu lapho sizidinga kakhulu. Ngokukholwa, sithola isibindi sokuqhubeka, sikhumbula ukuthi kunokukhanya ekugcineni komhubhe nokuthi siyakwazi ukunqoba noma isiphi isithiyo esiqhamukayo.
8. Thola ithemba lokuphila okuphakade ngemiyalezo yeBhayibheli
Ukuphila okuphakade kuyisithembiso esikhethekile iBhayibheli elisinikeza lona. Ngemiyalezo yabo, sizothola ithemba nenduduzo ekwazini ukuthi kukhona okwengeziwe ngale kwaleli zwe lasemhlabeni. Ukuphila okuphakade kusinika isiqiniseko sokuthi kukhona auhlelo olungcwele lomuntu ngamunye wethu nokuthi injongo yethu idlula esikubona kanye nokufunda lapha.
Emilayezweni yeBhayibheli, sizothola amazwi esikhuthazo asimema ukuba sithembele isithembiso sokuphila okuphakade. okwethu. Ukuphila okuphakade kusinikeza:

Ezikhathini zobuhlungu nokulahlekelwa, kubalulekile ukuthola ukusekelwa namandla eZwini likaNkulunkulu. IBhayibheli ligcwele amavesi asikhumbuza amandla nothando loMdali wethu, nokuthi usiphelezela kanjani kuzo zonke izimo zokuphila, ngisho nasezikhathini ezinzima kakhulu.
Lapho sibhekene nokufa kothandekayo, kungokwemvelo ukudabuka nokuphelelwa ithemba. Nokho, IZwi likaNkulunkulu liyasimema ukuba sithole induduzo ebukhoneni Bakhe kanye sesithembiso sokuphila okuphakade. Singakhumbula amazwi ka-Isaya 41:10 : “Ungesabi, ngoba nginawe; ungapheli amandla, ngokuba nginguNkulunkulu wakho onilwelayo; ngizokusiza njalo, ngiyakusekela njalo ngesandla sokunene sokulunga kwami. Kukulezi zikhathi zobuthakathaka lapho singathola khona kuNkulunkulu amandla adingekayo okuqhubekela phambili.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, iBhayibheli lisifundisa ukubonga ngisho naphakathi nobuhlungu. Kweyoku-1 Thesalonika 5:18, sinxuswa ukuba “nibonge kukho konke, ngokuba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu ngani kuKristu Jesu.” Naphezu kokudabuka esikuzwayo ngokushonelwa othandekayo, singambonga uNkulunkulu ngokuphila esihlanganyele nabo nangazo zonke izikhathi ezijabulisayo abasinike zona.

Umbuzo: Kungani kubalulekile ukufuna induduzo kula mavesi ngemva kokushonelwa othandekayo?
IMPENDULO: Uma sibhekana nokulahlekelwa othandekayo, kungokwemvelo ukuthi akhungathwe yingxubevange yemizwa. Ukufuna induduzo emavesini eBhayibheli kusisiza ukuba sikhumbule ukuthi asisodwa osizini lwethu nokuthi uNkulunkulu useduze ukuze asinike amandla nenduduzo. Lamavesi asivumela ukuthi sithole ithemba phakathi kosizi futhi asikhumbuze ukuthi labo abangasekho basezandleni ezinothando kaBaba wethu Osezulwini.
Q: Singawasebenzisa kanjani la mavesi enqubweni yethu yokulila?
IMP: Ukusebenzisa la mavesi enqubweni yethu yokulila kuhilela ukufunda, ukuzindla, nokuzindla ngawo njalo. Singaphendukela kubo lapho sizizwa sigajwe ubuhlungu futhi sifune kubo ukuthula nenduduzo esiyidingayo. Futhi, singabelana ngazo nabanye abadlula ohlelweni olufanayo ukuze sibanike isikhuthazo namandla.
Q: Yiziphi ezinye izinqubo noma amasiko angasisiza ukuthi sibhekane nokushonelwa othandekayo?
IMP: Ngaphezu kokufuna induduzo emavesini eBhayibheli, kukhona eminye imikhuba nemikhuba engaba usizo ekubhekaneni nokushonelwa othandekayo. Eminye yale mikhuba ihlanganisa: ukuthandaza njalo, ukuhambela amaqembu okusekela noma ukwelashwa, ukuhlonipha inkumbulo yothandekayo imikhuba yomuntu siqu efana nokubhala incwadi noma ukudala incwadi ye-scrapbook, ukufuna ukusekelwa okuvela eduze abangani nomndeni, futhi khumbula ukuthi inqubo yokuba lusizi iyingqayizivele kumuntu ngamunye nokuthi kubalulekile ukuzivumela ukuthi uzizwe futhi uveze imizwa yakho yokuba lusizi.
Umbuzo: Singamsiza kanjani umuntu oshonelwe othandekayo?
IMP: Uma othile osondelene nathi eshonelwe othandekayo, kubalulekile ukunikeza ukwesekwa kwethu nokuqonda. Ezinye izindlela zokusiza zibandakanya: ukulalela imizwa nemizwa yabo ngentshiseko ngaphandle kokwahlulela, ukwabelana amavesi eBhayibheli angaletha induduzo, ukunikeza usizo olungokoqobo olunjengokupheka ukudla noma ukunakekela izingane zabo, ukuhamba nabo lapho beyothungatha noma benze izinto ezidingekayo, kanye ukubakhumbuza abasemithandazweni yethu. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi umuntu ngamunye ubhekana nosizi ngendlela ehlukile, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuhlonipha inqubo yabo futhi ube khona ngaphandle kokumphoqa ukuthi adlule kukho ngokushesha.
