Ubizo lomsebenzi njengokukhonza
Umsebenzi awuyikho isiqalekiso — uyikubizwa
UMsombuluko awuyikho isijeziso
UNtombi wayesebenza njengomamukeli ekemisi. Kwakungeyikho umsebenzi wamaphupho. UMsombuluko ngamunye wawuyimpi. Kwaze kwathi wezwa entshumayelweni: 'Umsebenzi wakho yinkonzo yakho kusukela ngoMsombuluko kuya kuLwesihlanu.' Okuthile kwaqhuma. Waqala ukuphatha ikhasimende ngalinye ngokungathi ukhonza uJesu. Wamomotheka ngokwengeziwe, wabekezela ngokwengeziwe, wanika ukunakekelwa okwakungelindele. Ngezinyanga ezintathu, abasebenzi ababili bambuza ukuthi yini eshintshile. Omunye wabo wagcina eseQenjini Elincane. UNtombi akabanga ngumfundisi — waba yisithunywa sevangeli ethafuleni lekemisi.
Kukhona umcabango oyingozi phakathi kwamaKristu: ukuthi umsebenzi 'womhlaba' uphansi kunomsebenzi 'wenkonzo'. Ukuthi umfundisi ungcwele kunesisebenzi sokwakha. Ukuthi oshumayelayo ukhonza uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kophekayo.
Lokhu kungamanga. UNkulunkulu ungumsebenzi wokuqala — wadala umhlaba waphumula (uGenesisi 2:2). Wanika u-Adamu umsebenzi ngaphambi kokuwa (uGenesisi 2:15). Umsebenzi awuyikho isiqalekiso — ngubizo. Isiqalekiso sesono saletha ukujuluka nameva, kodwa umsebenzi ngokwawo muhle, unesithunzi futhi ungcwele.
UPawulu ubhalela izigqila — isikhundla somphakathi esiphansi kunazo zonke — uthi: sebenzani njengokwenzelwa iNkosi. Lokhu kunikeza wonke umsebenzi isithunzi. Uma isigqila samaRoma sasingakhonza uKristu emsebenzini waso, kakhulu kangakanani thina?
Inkulumo 'njengokwenzelwa iNkosi' iguqula konke: umbiko ongafundwa muntu, ukuhlanza ongabongwa muntu, isifundo esingahlonishwa muntu. Uma othola esenguKristu, isisusa siyashintsha — nekhwalithi nayo.
Ngaphambi kwesono, ngaphambi kokuwa, uNkulunkulu wanika u-Adamu umsebenzi: ukulima nokulondoloza. Umsebenzi uyingxenye yeklamu yokuqala kaNkulunkulu yobutu. Ngomsebenzi sihlanganyela emsebenzini wokudala nowokugcina kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi umsebenzi wakho — noma yimuphi umsebenzi oqotho — unenani eliyingunaphakade. Uthisha okhulisa izingqondo uyasebenzisana noNkulunkulu. Udokotela ophilisayo uyasebenzisana noNkulunkulu. Umgcini wendawo ohlanza idolobha uyasebenzisana noNkulunkulu. Awukho umsebenzi ongenasithunzi.
Ukuphila ukholo endaweni yomsebenzi Bonisa
1. Ubukhulu njengobufakazi — AmaKristu kufanele abe ngabasebenzi abahle kunazo zonke, hhayi ngokuziqhenya, kodwa ngoba amele uKristu. Ukuba nesikhathi, ubuqotho, ikhono — konke kuyakhuluma.
2. Ukuziphatha okungaguquki — Ungahlanganyeli ebugebengwini, ukuhleba emsebenzini, ukuhlushwa noma inkohlakalo. Uma intengo yobuqotho iphezulu, khumbula: umphathi wakho wangempela nguKristu.
3. Ubudlelwano obunenhloso — Umsebenzi uyinsimu yezithunywa. Unga'shumayeli' ngendlela engena ngenkani, kodwa phila ngendlela edala imibuzo. Yiba umuntu osizayo, olalelayo, onendaba.
4. Ukuphumula njengokholo — Ukusebenza ngokweqile akuyikho isimilo sobuKristu. UNkulunkulu waphumula. Nawe ungaphumula. Ukubekela eceleni isikhathi somndeni, ukuzijabulisa noNkulunkulu yisenzo sokholo — wethemba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakugcina ngaphandle kokuthi usebenze amahora angu-70 ngesonto.
5. Inhloso ngaphaya kweholo — Buza: 'Umsebenzi wami ukhonza kanjani uNkulunkulu ubusise abantu?' Uma uxhuma inhloso emsebenzini, uMsombuluko uba yinto ehlukile.
6. Ukubhekana nabaphathi abanzima nezindawo ezinobuthi — Ungacabangi umsebenzi omuhle. Ngezinye izikhathi ukushintsha umsebenzi ukuhlakanipha. Kodwa uma usekhona, mela uKristu. Thandazela ukuhlakanipha ukuqonda ukuthi nini ukuhlala nini ukuhamba.
UPawulu wenza kube yinto yomhlaba wonke: konke — kubandakanya umsebenzi — kungenxa yenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Akukho isigaba 'esingcwele' ne'somhlaba'. Konke ukuphila kungcwele uma kuphilelwa uNkulunkulu.
Lokhu kuyakhulula: awudingi ukuba ngumfundisi ukuze ukhonze uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi sonke. Wonke umKristu useyinceku yesikhathi sonke — ehhovisi, esikoleni, esibhedlela, efemini, ensimini. Umsebenzi wakho uyisigubhu sakho. Ubukhulu bakho biyintshumayelo yakho.
“Ukufundisa akusikho uhlelo, yindlela yokuphila. Ukuhamba ndawonye, ukuphila ndawonye, ukukhala ndawonye, ukukhula ndawonye.”
Yima ucabange
-
1
Ubona umsebenzi wakho njengobizo (ukubizwa nguNkulunkulu) noma njengomthwalo kuphela?
-
2
Uma abasebenzi bebekwazi ukuthi ungumKristu ngesenzo sakho kuphela (ngaphandle kokuba usho), bebeqaphela ini?
-
3
Yini ebizoshintsha uma kusasa uhamba uyosebenza 'njengokwenzelwa iNkosi' esikhundleni 'sokwenzelwa umphathi'?
Kuleli sonto
NgoMsombuluko, ngaphambi kokuba uqale umsebenzi, thandaza: 'Nkosi, namuhla ngisebenzela wena. Wonke umsebenzi uyinkonzo yami. Wonke umuntu uyithuba lokukumela.' Yenza lokhu nsuku zonke zesonto. Qapha ukuthi kukhona okushintshayo endleleni ozizwa ngayo, ekhwalithini yomsebenzi nasendleleni uphatha ngayo abantu. EQenjini Elincane, yabelanani: 'Ngingamkhazimulisa kanjani uNkulunkulu emsebenzini wami oqondile?'
Ukuvala
“Baba, ngiyabonga ngomsebenzi — isipho sakho, hhayi isijeziso sakho. Guqula umbono wami: mangibona ubizo lapho bengibona umthwalo, inkonzo lapho bengibona inqubo, ukukhonza lapho bengibona isidina. Ubukhulu bami mabukukhulume ngawe. Ukuziphatha kwami makubonise isimilo sakho. Abasebenzi bami mababone uKristu kimi — hhayi ngamazwi ami, kodwa ngokuphila kwami. Egameni likaJesu, amen.”
Komfundisi
Inhloso
Fundisa ukuthi wonke umsebenzi oqotho ngubizo nokukhonza — uchitha umehluko obunga okungcwele/okomhlaba uhlomise lowo ofundiswa ukuphila ukholo ngokuphelele endaweni yomsebenzi.
Imibuzo enzima
- Ngisemsebenzini ongafanele. Kufanele ngihambe? Akuyikho konke ukungakhululeki okuyisimpawu sokuthi usendaweni engafanele. Kodwa uma kukhona ukuqiniseka okuqhubekayo, iminyango evulekile nokuqinisekiswa kobuholi, kungenzeka yisikhathi sokushintsha. Thandaza, funa iseluleko ungathathi isinqumo emizweni.
- Umsebenzi wami ufuna izinto ezingalungile. Ngenzeni? Ungahlanganyeli esonweni. Uma kungenzeka, shintsha isiko ngaphakathi. Uma kungenakwenzeka futhi isidingo siqhubeka, ukuhamba kungadingeka. Ubuqotho bakho bubaluleke kuneholo.
- UmKristu angafisa yini? Isifiso sokukhonza ngokwengeziwe, ukukhula emakhonweni nokwenza umthelela omuhle kuhle. Isifiso sesikhundla, amandla nemali njengomgomo ngokwawo yisithixo. Umehluko usesisuseni: ngenxa yenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu noma ngenxa yami?
- Lowo ongasebenzi? Ukungasebenzi akunciphisi ububaluleka bakho. Sebenzisa isikhathi ukufuna uNkulunkulu, ukuzicijisa nokukhonza. Ubuntu abukho emsebenzini — bukuKristu. UNkulunkulu ungumkhipha (KwabaseFiliphi 4:19) — themba inqubo.
Amacebiso angokoqobo
- Buza iqembu: 'Yini umsebenzi wenu futhi uNkulunkulu angakhazimuliswa kanjani lapho?' Siza umuntu ngamunye abone inkonzo esimweni sakhe.
- Chitha umcabango 'wesikhathi esigcwele nesijwayelekile'. Wonke umKristu uyinceku. 'Umfundisi' ngumsebenzi oqondile, hhayi isikhundla esiphezulu.
- Kulabo abangajabulile emsebenzini: siza ukuqonda phakathi kokungakhululeki okuqotho (ubizo lokushintsha) nokuntula umbono weBhayibheli (kudinga ukushintsha indlela yokubona).
