Hamba Nam

Ingaba wakha wacelwa ukuba wenze into obungacingi ukuba ungayenza? Mhlawumbi ubungaziva unamandla okanye ungenabulumko ngokwaneleyo, okanye ubuxhalabele ukuba abanye baza kukuhleka baze bakugxeke. Ukuba wakha waziva ngolu hlobo, awukho wedwa.

Kwiminyaka engamawaka eyadlulayo, kwakukho indoda egama lingu-Enoki. UThixo wacela uEnoki ukuba ashumayele inguquko ebantwini—abanye babo bangendawo kakhulu emhlabeni.

UEnoki wayengacingi ukuba angakwenza oko. Waxelela uThixo ukuba umncinci kakhulu, akukho mntu umthandayo, kwaye “uthetha kancinci” (bona Moses 6:31).

Kodwa uThixo wanika uEnoki isethembiso. yena wathi kwindoda eyoyikayo, “Phuma wenze njengoko ndikuyalele” kwaye “iintaba ziya kusaba phambi kwakho, nemilambo iya kujika endleleni yayo; uze uhlale kum, nam ndikuwe; ke ngoko hamba nam.” (Moses 6:32, 34).

“Hamba nam” Isimemo esilula, esimnandi.

UThixo wathembisa uEnoki ukuba wayenokuba nesibindi sokuqala, uThixo wayeya kuba naye kuyo yonke inyathelo. UThixo wayeza kumenza uEnoki abe namandla aze amomeleze ukuze enze okungakumbi aze amncede abe ngaphezu koko wayenokukucinga.

Elinye lamagama amaninzi oMsindisi nguEmanuweli, okanye “uThixo unathi” (Mateyu 1:23). Kusegameni leNkosi nangokwemvelo ukuba ahambe nathi. Ukhetho lolwethu—ingaba nathi siza kuhamba naYe, kananjalo?

Kule mihla, sijonga uEnoki njengendoda yokholo nomprofeti omkhulu nenkokeli. Kodwa ngaphambi komprofeti uEnoki, kwakukho uEnoki omncinci owayezithandabuza kodwa wakhetha ukuhamba noThixo.

Xa ubomi bunzima, xa uziva ngathi awanelanga, khumbula isithembiso seNkosi kuEnoki, nakuwe. Uza kuhamba nawe. Yena akayi kukushiya wedwa, nokuba kukunyathela nje.

UEmmanuel. UThixo unathi. UThixo kunye nawe!

Njengani bafana, iNkosi yacela uEnoki ukuba azalisekise imisebenzi ebalulekileyo yobubingeleli. Umsebenzi wakhe yayikukushumayela inguquko kubantu abangendawo. UEnoki wavakalisa iintandabuzo zakhe. “[Ndingu] mfana nje,” utshilo. “Bonke abantu bayandithiya … Ndingumntu othetha kancinci; kutheni ndingumkhonzi wakho?” (Moses 6:31).

INkosi yaphendula ngamandla nangokuqinisekisa. “Phuma uye kwenza njengoko ndikuyaleleyo. … Vula umlomo wakho, uya kuzaliswa … . UMoya wam uphezu kwakho … ; iintaba ziya kusaba phambi kwakho … ; ke ngoko hamba nam” (Moses 6:32, 34)

UEnoki wafunda ukuba xa iNkosi isinika umsebenzi, asijongani nawo sodwa. Xa senza kwaye sigcina iminqophiso noKrestu, sihamba naye kwaye sabelana ngamandla Akhe—siba zizixhobo ezandleni zaKhe.

NjengoEnoki, unendima ebalulekileyo: ukulungiselela, ukukhonza etempileni, ukunikezela umthendeleko, ukufunda izibhalo, ukuphila imigangatho yevangeli, ukuguquka, ukulungiselela imisebenzi yobufundisi, nokungakumbi. Ingavakala ngathi iyakongamela Usenokuziva ungonelanga. Kulungile Oko. Akukhona ukwenza wedwa. Kumalunga nokukhetha namhlanje—le mini nayo yonke imihla—ukuhamba noThixo.

Ngoncedo lwaKhe, Unokwenza zonke izinto. Yena uza kukomelelza, akuxolele, aze akunike amandla angaphezu kwamandla akho emvelo. Yena uyakuthanda! NjengoMongameli Jikelele waMadoda Aselula, siyakuthanda kwaye sijonge phambili ekuzimanyeni nawe ekuphononongeni umxholo okhuthazayo ka-2026 othi: “Hamba Nam.”
