Ilizwi likaThixo
Isifundo sokuqala · Efese 1:15-23
Bazalwana noodade bethu: Ndivile ngokukholwa kwenu eNkosini uYesu, nangothando lwenu kwabangcwele bonke, andiyeki ukubulela ngenxa yenu, ndinikhumbula emithandazweni yam, ukuze uThixo weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, uYise wozuko, aninike umoya wobulumko nowesityhilelo ekumazini yena. Makukhanyiselwe amehlo eentliziyo zenu, ukuze nazi ukuba liyintoni na ithemba lobizo lwakhe, nokuba zithini na izityebi zozuko lwelifa lakhe phakathi kwabangcwele, nokuba liyintoni na ubukhulu obugqithisileyo bamandla akhe kuthi thina abakholwayo, ngokokusebenza kobukhulu bokuqina kwakhe, awakusebenzisayo kuKristu, emvusa kwabafileyo, emhlalisa ngasekunene kwakhe ezulwini, ngaphezu kwabo bonke abalawuli, amagunya, amandla, nobukhosana, nangaphezu kwalo lonke igama elibizwayo, kungekuphela kweli xesha, kodwa nakwelo liza kuza.

Indumiso · Indumiso 8:2-3ab, 4-5, 6-7
R. Nkosi, Nkosi wethu, ligama lakho elizukileyo phezu komhlaba wonke! O Nkosi, Nkosi wethu, ligama lakho elizukileyo phezu komhlaba wonke! Wena owubeke uzuko lwakho phezu kwamazulu.

IVangeli · Luka 12:8-12
UYesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: Ndithi kuni, wonke umntu ovumayo phambi kwabantu, uNyana woMntu uya kumvuma phambi kweengelosi zikaThixo. Kodwa lowo undikhanyelayo phambi kwabantu, uya kukhanyelwa phambi kweengelosi zikaThixo. Wonke umntu othetha ilizwi elichasene noNyana woMntu uya kuxolelwa, kodwa lowo unyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele akayi kuxolelwa. Xa benisa phambi kwees synagogue naphambi kwabalawuli namagunya, musani ukuxhalaba malunga nendlela okanye nento eya kuba lukhuselo lwenu okanye ngento eniya kuyithetha. Kuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uya kunifundisa ngaloo mzuzu into enimele niyithethe.
Nkosi, Nkosi wethu, ligama lakho elizukileyo phezu komhlaba wonke!
Intshumayelo

Kukho imizuzu apho umhlaba ubonakala ungenanto, apho ukuthula kwendlu kunzima ukukuthwala. Mhlawumbi uke wema ecaleni kwesango okanye kwibala leenqwelo-moya, ubukele iindiza zisuka, ucinga ngaloo mntu uphakathi kwethu owayekuthanda ukubukela iinjini neempiko zazo zinyuka ziye esibhakabhakeni. UBenjamin Vo wayenalo olo thando. Wayengumfana owayejonga phezulu, engajongi nje iindiza, kodwa ejonga ubukhulu bukaThixo obufihlakeleyo kwiimfihlo zenzululwazi kunye nobuchwephesha.

Namhlanje, kwiNcwadi ka-Efese, uPawulos usicela ukuba sikhangele ngamehlo entliziyo. Uthi: 'Maye amehlo eentliziyo zenu akhanyiselwe, ukuze nazi ukuba liyintoni na ithemba elibangelwa kukubizwa kwakhe.' Amehlo entliziyo. Lawo ngamehlo angaboni nje izinto eziphathekayo, kodwa abona uthando lukaThixo olufihlakeleyo kuyo yonke imeko yobomi bethu. UBen wayengumfana owayenalo olo khanya. Wayengumfana owayenengqondo eqaqambileyo, kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke, wayenentliziyo eyayikwazi ukubona abanye.

Khumbula lo mfanekiso: uBen, eneminyaka eli-15, efuna ukunikela ngayo yonke imali yakhe yasebhange encinci ukunceda umalume wakhe uWilliam. Akazange ayiphule loo ngulube, akazange ayikhuphule imali, kodwa isipho sasingaphakathi entliziyweni yakhe. Ubenayo loo ntliziyo yayikwazi ukunikela ngayo yonke into ngaphandle kokubala. Loo ntliziyo yayicocekile, ingaphili ngemithetho yobuxoki yeli hlabathi, kodwa iphila ngenceba kaThixo. UBen wayengumfana owayethanda ukunika, owayethanda ukuba nomdla kwabanye, owayesoloko enoncumo olwaluthi, 'Ndikhona, ndiyakuthanda.'

KwiVangeli yanamhlanje, uYesu uthi: 'Wonke umntu ovumayo phambi kwabantu, uNyana woMntu uya kumvuma phambi kweengelosi zikaThixo.' UBen wayengumfana owavuma uYesu ngendlela awayephila ngayo—ngobubele bakhe, ngothando lwakhe, nangokuzinikela kwakhe kusapho lwakhe. Wayengumfana owayesazi ukuba ubomi abupheleli apha emhlabeni. Uwayesazi ukuba i-'con chim airlines' yakhe yayingeyiyo nje eyokuhamba emhlabeni, kodwa yayiyindlela yokufikelela kwiimfihlo zikaThixo.

Kodwa Alan, Thao, nawe Ryan mfowethu omncane, ndiyazi ukuba kule nyanga yesine emva kokuba uBen ebuyele kuThixo, iintlungu ziza ngamanye amaxesha njengomsinga ongaqondakaliyo. Kukho imibuzo eza ebusuku, kukho imizuzu apho uzibuza ukuba ngaba kukhona na eninokuze nako kwenza ngokwahlukileyo. Ndifuna ukuba uphulaphule inyaniso kaThixo namhlanje, kwaye uyivumele ingene nzulu entliziyweni yakho: akukho nqaku lokuthi uphosile okanye wenze kakubi. Ukugula akwanga kwenzeka ngenxa yezinto owazenzayo okanye ongazenzanga. UThixo akakubeki icala, kwaye noBen akakubeki icala kwaphela. Masikhuphe lo mthwalo wokuzisola emajukujukwini eentliziyo zenu namhlanje. Awuphosanga nto. Ubenze konke okusemandleni enu ngothando olungapheliyo. Ezinye izinto kulo mhlaba zenzeka ngaphandle kolawulo lwethu, ngaphandle kokuba nabani na enze impazamo. Niyinyaniso, nithandwa nguThixo ngokupheleleyo.

UYesu uthi: 'Musa ukoyika.' Lo ngumyalelo, kodwa ikwangulwazi oluphilisayo. UBen akalahlekanga. Usemkhono kaThixo, apho akukho ntlungu, apho akukho zifo, apho kukho kuphela uthando olungenasiphelo. UBen ukhangele phantsi kuwe Ryan, kwaye akakushiye. Xa udlala okanye ucinga ngekamva, yazi ukuba uBen ukuthembile, ukuthandile, kwaye usakuthanda kakhulu. UBen usengumntwana ononcumo, usengumntwana ocinga ngekamva, usengumntwana okhathalayo.

Namhlanje, masithathe oku: uBen wayengumfana owafunda ukunika. Masifunde nathi ukunika—ukunika iintlungu zethu kuThixo, ukunika ithemba lethu kuye, kwaye ukunika uthando lwethu kwabo basijikelezileyo. UBen akakho nje kwimbali yenu; ukwikhona apho uThixo enza khona yonke into ibe ntsha. Uthando lwakho, Ben, lusaqhubeka luhamba emhlabeni, lusaqhubeka lukhanya, kwaye lusaqhubeka lukhumbuza wonke umntu okwaziyo ukuba uThixo uyamthanda umntwana wakhe ngaphezu kwayo yonke into. Hamba ke namhlanje ukhululekile emthwalweni wokuzisola. Bamba isandla sikaYesu, uthembe ukuba uYisease usezintliziyweni zenu, kwaye uBen ulala ngokuthula ekhanyeni likaThixo, esikhangela sonke ngovuyo olungunaphakade. Amen.
