Ilizwi likaThixo
Isifundo sokuqala · Galatians 1:13-24
Bazalwana noodade, nivile ngendlela yam yobomi yakuqala kubuYuda, indlela endalutshutshisa ngayo iBandla likaThixo ngokugqithisileyo, ndizama ukulitshabalalisa, kwaye ndaqhubela phambili kubuYuda ngaphezu kwabaninzi kwizizukulwana zam, kuba ndandingumkhuthali wamasiko ookhokho bam. Kodwa xa yena, owandahlula kwasesizalweni sikanina wandibiza ngobabalo lwakhe, wakholiseka ukutyhila uNyana wakhe kum, ukuze ndimvakalise kwiiNtlanga, andizange ndibonisane nanyama negazi ngoko nangoko, kwaye andizange ndinyuke ndiye eYerusalem kwabo babengabaPostile ngaphambi kwam; endaweni yoko, ndaya eArabhiya ndaza ndabuyela eDamasko. Emva kweminyaka emithathu ndanyuka ndaya eYerusalem ukuyobonisana noKefa, ndahlala naye iintsuku ezilishumi elinesihlanu. Kodwa andizange ndibone namnye omnye wababaPostile, kuphela nguYakobi umzalwana weNkosi. (Ngokuphathelele oko ndikubhalelayo, khangela, phambi koThixo, andixoki.) Emva koko ndaya kwimimandla yaseSiriya neKilikhiya. Ndingaziwa ngobuso ngamabandla aseYuda akristu; babesiva nje ukuba, 'Lowo wayesitshutshisa ngaphambili ngoku uvakalisa ukholo awayezama ukulitshabalalisa.' Baza bamdumisa uThixo ngenxa yam.
Indumiso · Psalm 139:1b-3, 13-14ab, 14c-15
R. Khokela mna, Nkosi, endleleni engunaphakade. Nkosi, undivavanyile, uyandazi; uyazi xa ndihleli, xa ndimile; uziqonda iingcinga zam ukususela kude. Uhambo lwam nokuphumla kwam uyakuhlola, kwaye uzazi zonke iindlela zam. R. Khokela mna, Nkosi, endleleni engunaphakade. Inene, ubumile ubukho bam bangaphakathi; undilukile esizalweni sikanina. Ndiyakubulela ngokuba ndenziwe ngokoyikekayo nangokumangalisayo; imisebenzi yakho iyamangalisa. R. Khokela mna, Nkosi, endleleni engunaphakade. Umphefumlo wam wawuwazi kakuhle; namathambo am ayengafihlakele kuwe, xa ndandenziwa ngasese, xa ndandibunjwa nzulu emhlabeni. R. Khokela mna, Nkosi, endleleni engunaphakade.
IVangeli · Luke 10:38-42
UYesu wangena emzaneni apho umfazi ogama linguMarta wamkelayo. Wayenodadewabo ogama linguMariya owayehleli ecaleni kweNkosi ezinyaweni zakhe, emphulaphule ethetha. UMarta, exakekile kukukhonza okuninzi, weza kuye wathi, 'Nkosi, awukhathali na ukuba udadewethu undishiyile ndedwa ukuba ndikhonze? Mcele ukuba andincede.' INkosi yaphendula yathi kuye, 'Marta, Marta, uxhalabile kwaye uzixhalabisile ngezinto ezininzi. Kukho imfuneko yento enye kuphela. UMariya ukhethe eyona nxalenye ilungileyo, kwaye ayisayi kususwa kuye.'
Khokela mna, Nkosi, endleleni engunaphakade.
Intshumayelo

Cinga ngomzuzu apho uBenjamin Vo, esesemncinci, ehlala phantsi phambi kwekhompyutha yakhe, ebhala iikhowudi zokudala umdlalo omtsha okanye ecwangcisa indlela i-'con chim airlines' yakhe eya kubhabha ngayo. Kwakukho ukuzimisela okukhulu emehlweni akhe, ukuzimisela okungazange kwabangelwa kukufuna ukubonwa ngabantu, kodwa ngenxa yokuba wayeyithanda inyaniso yento awayeyenza. Wayengumfana owayethanda ukwakha, ukudala, nokuzisa uvuyo. Namhlanje, kwiNcwadi kaGalati, uPawulos uthi: 'Ngenxa yokuba wayeyithanda inyaniso yento awayeyenza.' Umpostile usikhumbuza ukuba ubomi bethu abuyiyo imidlalo yokukholisa abantu, kodwa bubudlelwane obunzulu noKristu.

KwiVangeli, uYesu udibana noMartha noMariya. UMartha uxakekile, uziva ebunziwe, efuna ukwenza konke. Uthi kuYesu: 'Nkosi, awukhathali na ukuba udadewethu undishiyile ndedwa ukuba ndikhonze?' UYesu akamgxeki uMartha ngenxa yokusebenza kwakhe, kodwa umbiza kwinto ebalulekileyo: 'Martha, Martha, uxhalabile kwaye uzixhalabisile ngezinto ezininzi. Kukho imfuneko yento enye kuphela.' UBen wayengumfana owayenengqondo eqaqambileyo, kodwa wayeyazi le nto 'enye'. Wayeyazi ukuba ukubaluleka kobomi akukho ekwenzeni izinto ezininzi, kodwa ekubeni nentliziyo evulekileyo.

Alan noThao, ndiyazi ukuba iinyanga ezintathu ezi zidlulileyo bezinzima kakhulu. 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.

Khumbula indlela uBen awayenentliziyo enobubele ngayo. Khumbula loo mzuzu xa wayefuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange encinci ukuze ancede umalume wakhe uWilliam owayehlaselwe zizifo. Akazange ayiphule loo ngulube yemali, akazange ayikhuphule ngokoqobo, kodwa isipho sasingaphakathi entliziyweni yakhe. Wayengumfana owayenokunikela ngayo yonke into yakhe ngaphandle kokubala. Wayengumfana owayephila ngoxolo lukaKristu. WayengumSamariya olungileyo ebomini bakhe, ebonisa uthando olungenamiqathango. UBen wayengumfana owayephila ngoluxolo. Wayengumfana owayezisa uxolo ekhaya.

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.

UYesu uthi: 'Mariya ukhethe eyona nxalenye ilungileyo.' Lo ngumyalelo wethu namhlanje. Hamba, uthande njengokuba uBen wayethanda. Hamba, ube nomfesane njengokuba uBen wayenaye. Hamba, ube nentliziyo evulekileyo njengokuba uBen wayenayo. 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. Siya kukukhumbula njalo, side sidibane kwakhona apho kungekho nyembezi, apho kukho uvuyo olungunaphakade. Amen.
