Ilizwi likaThixo
Isifundo sokuqala · Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14
Ndathi ndisakujonga, kwamiswa izitrone, wahlala uMdala wemihla. Ingubo yakhe yayimhlophe njengekhephu, neenwele zentloko yakhe zinjengoboya obumhlophe. Itrone yakhe yayingumlilo ovuthayo, namavili ayo engumlilo odangazelayo. Umlambo womlilo wawuqukuqela uphuma apho wayehleli khona. Amawaka amawaka ayemlungiselela, namashumi amawaka angamashumi amawaka emi phambi kwakhe. Inkundla yahlala, iincwadi zavulwa. Ndathi kwimibono yasebusuku ndabona Onye onjengoNyana woMntu, esiza ngamafu ezulu. Wafika kuMdala wemihla, waziswa phambi kwakhe. Wanikwa ulawulo, nobuqaqawuli, nobukumkani, ukuze zonke iintlanga, nezizwe, neelwimi zimkhonze. Ulawulo lwakhe lulawulo olungunaphakade, olungayi kudlula, nobukumkani bakhe abuyi konakaliswa.
INdumiso · Psalm 138:1-2ab, 2cde-3, 4-5
R. Phambi kweengelosi ndiya kuvuma iindumiso zakho, Nkosi. Ndiya kubulela kuwe, Nkosi, ngentliziyo yam yonke, kuba uzivile amazwi omlomo wam; phambi kweengelosi ndiya kuvuma iindumiso zakho. Ndiya kukhahlela etempileni yakho eyingcwele, ndibulele kwigama lakho. R. Phambi kweengelosi ndiya kuvuma iindumiso zakho, Nkosi. Ngenxa yobubele bakho nenyaniso yakho; kuba wenze ukuba igama lakho nesithembiso sakho sibe sikhulu ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinto. Mhla ndabizayo, wandiphendula; wandakha amandla ngaphakathi kwam. R. Phambi kweengelosi ndiya kuvuma iindumiso zakho, Nkosi. Bonke ookumkani behlabathi baya kubulela kuwe, Nkosi, xa besiva amazwi omlomo wakho; baya kuvuma ngeendlela zeNkosi, 'Mkhulu ubuqaqawuli beNkosi.' R. Phambi kweengelosi ndiya kuvuma iindumiso zakho, Nkosi.
IVangeli · John 1:47-51
UYesu wambona uNathaniyeli esiza kuye, wathi ngaye, 'Nanko umSirayeli wokwenene, ongenakukhohlisa.' UNathaniyeli wathi kuye, 'Undazi njani?' UYesu waphendula wathi kuye, 'Ngaphambi kokuba uFilipu akubize, ndikubonile phantsi komthi wamakhiwane.' UNathaniyeli waphendula wathi kuye, 'Rabbi, unguNyana kaThixo; unguKumkani wakwaSirayeli.' UYesu waphendula wathi kuye, 'Ukholwa ngenxa yokuba ndikuxelele ukuba ndikubonile phantsi komthi wamakhiwane? Uya kubona izinto ezinkulu kunalezi.' Wathi kuye, 'Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, noluya kubona izulu livulekile, neengelosi zikaThixo zinyuka zihla phezu koNyana woMntu.'
Phambi kweengelosi ndiya kuvuma iindumiso zakho, Nkosi.
Intshumayelo

Cinga ngomzuzu wokuthi cwaka kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya. Umoya uphumla, abantu bahamba bejonga phezulu kwiifestile ezinkulu, bekhangela iindiza ezinyukayo nezihlayo. UBenjamin Vo wayengumfana owayeyithanda kakhulu loo mbono. Wayengumfana owayenomdla ongamangalisiyo, owayesoloko ecinga ngezinto ezinkulu—ukusuka kwikhowudi zekhompyutha ezintsonkothileyo ukuya kwindlela ezindiza ngayo iindiza ezinkulu ezifana ne-Boeing 737. Wayengumfana owayenentliziyo evulekileyo, intliziyo eyayikwazi ukubona ngaphaya kwento nje eqhelekileyo. Wayengumfana owayethanda ukubaluleka kothando kunazo zonke izinto.

Namhlanje, kwiVangeli, uYesu uthi kuNathaniyeli: 'Uya kubona izulu livulekile, neengelosi zikaThixo zinyuka zihla phezu koNyana woMntu.' Lo mfanekiso weengelosi zinyuka zihla—ngathi yibhuloho eliphakathi kwethu noThixo—ngumfanekiso othi cwaka kodwa onamandla. Cinga ngaloo bhuloho namhlanje. Cinga ngendlela uBen awayejonga ngayo izinto, esoloko efuna ukwakha, esoloko efuna ukunxibelelana, esoloko efuna ukunika.

Alan, Thao, Ryan—ndiyazi ukuba iinyanga ezintathu ezi zidlulileyo bezinzima. Ndiyazi ukuba kukho amaxesha apho intliziyo iziva ngathi iyaphuka, xa ucinga ngaloo mntwana owayeza kuwe, owayekuthanda, owayekujonga ngamehlo anothando. Usizi alulandeli ikhalenda. Luza ngexesha lalo, lunzima, lufuna indawo. Ndaye ndifuna ukuba uthethe inyaniso yale ntliziyo yakho namhlanje. Akukho nqaku lokuthi uphosile okanye wenze kakubi. Ukugula akwanga kwenzeka ngenxa yezinto owazenzayo okanye ongazenzanga. UThixo akakubeki icala, kwaye noBen akakubeki icala. Masikhuphe lo mthwalo wokuzisola emajukujukwini eentliziyo zenu namhlanje. Awuphosanga nto. Ubenze konke okusemandleni enu ngothando olungapheliyo. Ezinye izinto zenzeka ngaphandle kolawulo lwethu, ngaphandle kokuba nabani na enze impazamo. Niyinyaniso, nithandwa nguThixo.

KwiNcwadi kaDaniyeli, sibona 'uMdala wemihla' ehleli etroneni yomlilo. Le yimbono yobukhulu bukaThixo, ubukhulu obungeke bucinywe bubunzima behlabathi. UYesu, kwiVangeli, usinika ithemba lokuba leyo nkosi ayikude, kodwa isondele kakhulu. UYesu uthi kuNathaniyeli, 'Ngaphambi kokuba uFilipu akubize, ndikubonile phantsi komthi wamakhiwane.' UYesu ubona uBen. UYesu uyabona uBen, owayengumfana onikela ngayo yonke into yakhe. Khumbula indlela awayefuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange encinci ukuze ancede umalume wakhe uWilliam. Akazange ayiphule loo ngulube yemali, akazange ayikhuphule ngokoqobo, kodwa isipho sasingaphakathi entliziyweni yakhe. Wayengumfana onikela ngayo yonke into yakhe. Lo moya wokunika waba yindlela yakhe yokuphila.

Ryan, mfowethu omncane, uBen uyamthanda. Ungalokothi uzive ungedwa. UBen uyaqhubeka ehamba nawe, ekukhathalele, kwaye uthando lwenu aluzange lufe. Vumela uYesu abe lulwalwa lwakho namhlanje. Thatha igama likaBen, thandaza kuye uThixo, kwaye uqhubeke uphila ngesibindi, wazi ukuba akukho lizwi linye lothando olulahlekileyo phambi koThixo. UBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya ngomsebenzi wakhe wothando, njengaloo mthombo wamanzi eCà Mau, olethela ubomi kwabanye. Uthando lwakhe aluzange luphele; lusaqhubeka lukhanya njengolwandle olukhulu.

Nani, Alan noThao, ningayeki ukuthanda. Nithandeke kakhulu nguThixo. UBen wayengumfana onikela ngayo yonke into yakhe. Nani, nikani konke usizi lwenu kuThixo. Musani ukuzama ukuluthwala lodwa. Vumelani uYesu ukuba abe lulwalwa lwenu. Xa uziva usizi, yithi: 'Nkosi, ndiyakuthanda, kwaye ndiyakuthemba.' UBen uyaqhubeka esidumisela kuThixo. Uthando lwenu luyaqhubeka luhleli, lusaqhubeka lukhula, kwaye uBen uyaqhubeka ekhanya.

Benjamin, lala ngokuthula. Uthando lwakho lulukhanya olungasoze lwavaleleka. Uthando lwakho, njengaloo mthombo wamanzi, luyaqhubeka luhleli, lusaqhubeka lukhula, kwaye luyaqhubeka lukhanyisa iindlela zethu. Khumbula ukuba uBen uyaqhubeka esidumisela kuThixo, kwaye nathi, simele siphile ngaloo ndlela—ngothando olungagciniyo, ngoxolelo olungapheliyo, nangokholo olomeleleyo.

Namhlanje, njengoko sijonga iengelosi zinyuka zihla, masikhumbule ukuba uBen uphi na. Uphakathi kwabo, ekhanya, esithanda, esibukele. Masiphile ngaloo ndlela—ngothando olungagciniyo, ngoxolelo olungapheliyo, nangokholo olomeleleyo. Benjamin, lala ngokuthula. Amen.
