Uma Inhliziyo Yomuntu Inobutha NoNkulunkulu, Angamesaba Kanjani UNkulunkulu Futhi Agweme Okubi?
Njengoba abantu namuhla bengenabo ubuntu obufana nobukaJobe, iyini ingqikithi yabo nombono wabo ngoNkulunkulu? Ingabe bayamesaba uNkulunkulu? Ingabe bayakugwema okubi? Labo abangamesabi uNkulunkulu noma abangakugwemi okubi bangafingqwa ngamagama amabili kuphela: izitha zikaNkulunkulu. Nivame ukuwasho la magama amabili, kodwa anikaze nazi incazelo yangempela yawo. Amazwi athi “izitha zikaNkulunkulu” anesiqu: Awayona inkulumo esho ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubheka abantu njengezitha, kodwa ukuthi abantu babheka uNkulunkulu njengesitha. Okokuqala, lapho abantu beqala ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu, ubani ongenazo izinhloso zakhe, nezisusa kanye nezifiso? Nakuba olunye uhlangothi lwabo lukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, futhi lukubonile ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu, inkolelo yabo kuNkulunkulu isenazo lezo zisusa, futhi ekugcineni inhloso yabo ukuthola izibusiso Zakhe nezinto abazifunayo. Ezintweni abantu abadlule kuzo, bavamise ukucabanga, ngidele umndeni nekusasa lami ngenxa kaNkulunkulu, Yena unginikeni? Kumele ngenezele okunye—zikhona izibusiso engizitholile muva nje? Nginikele ngokuningi ngalesi sikhathi, ngigijimile futhi ngahlupheka kakhulu—ingabe kukhona uNkulunkulu athembise ukungibuyisela khona? Ingabe uzikhumbulile izenzo zami ezinhle? Siyoba yini isiphetho sami? Ngingazithola izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu? … Wonke umuntu uhlale enza lezo zibalo enhliziyweni yakhe, futhi efuna izinto ngoNkulunkulu ngezisusa zakhe, nezifiso kanye nemibono yakhe. Okusho ukuthi, enhliziyweni yakhe, umuntu uhlale evivinya uNkulunkulu, uhlale akha amacebo ngoNkulunkulu, futhi uhlale ephikisana ngesiphetho sakhe noNkulunkulu, ezama ukuthola uvo lukaNkulunkulu, ukubona ukuthi uNkulunkulu angamnika yini akufunayo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo nalandela ngaso uNkulunkulu, umuntu akamphathi uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu. Uhlale ezama ukwenza amacebo noNkulunkulu, efuna izinto ezingapheli Kuye, emcindezela kuzo zonke izinyathelo, ezama ukuthola okuthile ngaphambi kokuthatha elinye igxathu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo nazama ngaso ukwenza amacebo noNkulunkulu, umuntu uyaphikisana Naye, futhi kukhona ngisho nabantu okuthi lapho behlelwa izilingo noma bezithola besezimweni ezithile, bavame ukuba buthaka, bathanda ukukhangeza futhi bahudula izinyawo emsebenzi wabo, bahlale bekhononda ngoNkulunkulu. Kusukela ngesikhathi aqala ngaso ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu, umuntu ubebheka uNkulunkulu njengonenala yezinto, bese yena umuntu azibheke njengombolekisi wemali omkhulu, njengokungathi ukuzama ukuthola izibusiso nezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu yinto eyifa nesibopho sakhe, kuyilapho isibopho sikaNkulunkulu kuwukuvikela umuntu nokuthi amnakekele futhi amondle. Lokho ukuqonda okuyisisekelo “ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu” kwalabo abakholwa kuNkulunkulu, nombono wabo ojulile ngokukholwa kuNkulunkulu. Kusukela esiqwini sokwakheka komuntu kuye ezintweni azifunayo, akunalutho oluhlobana nokwesaba uNkulunkulu. Inhloso yomuntu ekukholweni kuNkulunkulu ayikwazi ukungahlanganisi lutho nokukhonza uNkulunkulu. Lokho kusho ukuthi, umuntu akakaze acabange noma aqonde ukuthi ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu kudinga ukwesaba uNkulunkulu, nokumkhonza. Mayelana nezimo ezinjalo, ingqikithi yomuntu sisobala. Iyini ingqikithi yakhe? Ukuthi inhliziyo yomuntu iyakhohlisa, ifukamela inzondo, ayibuthandi ubulungiswa nokulunga, nalokho okuhle, futhi inomhobholo. Inhliziyo yomuntu ingasondelana kakhudlwana noNkulunkulu; akazange nhlobo ayinike uNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu akakaze abone inhliziyo yangempela yomuntu, futhi akakaze akhonzwe umuntu. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi likhulu kangakanani inani uNkulunkulu alikhokhayo, noma ukuthi ungakanani umsebenzi awenzayo, noma ukuthi umnakekela kangakanani umuntu, umuntu akakuboni konke, akaboni mehluko. Umuntu akakaze amnike uNkulunkulu inhliziyo yakhe, ufuna kube nguye olawula inhliziyo yakhe, enze izinqumo zakhe—amazwi asesihlokwaneni abonisa ukuthi umuntu ongafuni ukulandela indlela yokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi, noma ukulalela ubukhosi namalungiselelo kaNkulunkulu, futhi akafuni ukukhonza uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu. Lezo izimo zabantu namuhla. Manje ake siphinde sihlole indaba kaJobe. Okokuqala, ingabe wenza isivumelwano noNkulunkulu? Ingabe wayenazo izizathu ezicashile zokubambelela endleni yokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi? Ngaleso sikhathi, ingabe ukhona uNkulunkulu akhuluma naye ngesiphelo esizokuza? Ngaleso sikhathi, akekho umuntu uNkulunkulu ayenze isithembiso naye ngesiphelo, futhi uJobe wakwazi ukwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi ngenxa yalezi zimo. Ingabe abantu banamuhla bangaqhathaniseka noJobe? Kunomehluko omkhulu, basemazingeni angafani. Nakuba uJobe ayengenalo ulwazi oluningi ngoNkulunkulu, inhliziyo yakhe wayinika uNkulunkulu futhi yayingekaNkulunkulu. Akazange enze isivumelwano noNkulunkulu, futhi wayengenazo izifiso eziyinqaba noma izinto ayezifuna kuNkulunkulu; kunalokho, wayekholwa ukuthi “UJehova uphile, futhi uJehova uthathile.” Yilokhu ayekubonile futhi ekuthole ekubambeleleni endleleni yokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi phakathi neminyaka eminingi ekuphileni. Ngokufanayo, wayethole nomphumela othi “Simukela okuhle okuvela esandleni sikaNkulunkulu, singekwamukele nokubi na?” Le misho emibili yayiyilokho ayekubonile futhi wakwazi njengomphumela wombono wakhe ngokulalela uNkulunkulu phakathi nokuphila kwakhe, futhi yabe iyizikhali ezinamandla ezazinqobe izilingo zikaSathane, nesisekelo sokuma kwakhe aqine ekufakazeni ngoNkulunkulu. Kulokhu, ingabe uJobe nimcabanga ewumuntu onothando? Ingabe niyafisa ukuba umuntu onjalo? Ingabe nesaba ukudlula ezilingweni zikaSathane? Ingabe ninqume ukuthandazela ukuthi uNkulunkulu anihlelele izilingo ezifana nezikaJobe? Ngaphandle kokungabaza, abantu abaningi ngeke balokothe bathandazele izinto ezinjalo. Ngakho kusobala ukuthi ukholo lwenu luncane; uma luqhathaniswa nolukaJobe, ukholo lwenu akufanele nokuthi sikhulume ngalo. Niyizitha zikaNkulunkulu, animesabi uNkulunkulu, anikwazi ukuma niqine ekufakazeni ngoNkulunkulu, futhi anikwazi ukunqoba ukuhlaselwa, ukumangalelwa, nokulingwa uSathane. Yini enenza nifaneleke ukuthola izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu? Ngemva kokuzwa indaba kaJobe nokuqonda izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu ekusindiseni umuntu nasencazelweni yensindiso yomuntu, ingabe manje ninalo ukholo lokwamukela izilingo ezifana nezikaJobe? Ingabe akufanele nenze izinqumo zokulandela ukwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi?
