Sex talk within Parents and Kids......

Lets talk about sex baby lets talk about it and push it baby babe push…” Does anyone remember this song? l still remember it playing on radio and one time when my friend borrowed me her Push It Baby record by TLC . Ngangi busy bantu ngicula ngizekelisa lami engangibona kusenziwa ngabanye meanwhile my father who was a wonderful man, was standing by the door watching, well you can imagine the outcome hahahaha. With his eyes directly on me, he said in a calm voice “Kuphushwani ke lapha? Ngibuzela ukuthi lami ngithi uku-understander, l will love for you ukuthi ungichazele.

I tried to explain and justify myself but as you all know parents are much clever than we gave them credit for when we were young. That music too opened the floor for a discussion that contributed tremendously to who l am today. It led to the SEX talk with my father, as hard as it is to believe coming from a women, within my culture its considered taboo for fathers to talk about sex with their daughters. My sex talk with my dad was very worth it and I want to use this platform to pass on that wisdom to you guys.

Why is it so difficult for abazali to have a conversation labantwana babo about this topic. Kwenziwa ngamahloni, yikuhlonipha or is it just fear of the unknown? From an African perspective I know that our culture also plays a significant role in this taboo. Some parents have a belief that when one talks about SEX to their teenagers, then uyabe esemvulele umnyango wokuthi abengunondindwa. Thina sisakhula amankazana ayehanjiswa kubo babakazi or omam’oncane siye hlaliswa phansi siboniswe ngokukhula lendaba zocansi.

However, in this generation that tradition has died off meaning if parents are afraid to rise to the occasion and discuss about sex with their own children, who is doing that?

One of my reasons for writing about this topic is because most parents are not aware that nowadays sex education is done in schools, but it’s not done in depth. This means parents still need to tackle that topic themselves. When is the right time to talk about it as parents and being aware again that nothing is wrong having that conversation with your kids. As uncomfortable as it maybe, parents need to bear in mind that it is better for a child to hear that talk from his or her parents than to get a wrong information from a corrupt alternative source. It’s not only about sex but being an open-minded parent that your child can ask anything without fearing that you will over react and scold them.

I know our culture do hinder us from breaking certain social norms. These norms have been in our society far too long without really benefiting or helping educate our kids to make well informed decisions regarding all things related to sex. We all know that teen pregnancy is on the rise in our society only because we don’t want to adopt progressive methods that can help our kids to make better choices and prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexual transmitted diseases.

For every parent, the age for sex talk with their kids differs, some might want to talk when the child enters puberty, others may start earlier as long as you talk to your child before it’s too late. Bakhula ngokwehlukeneyo abantwana BUT both go through puberty stage where hormones kick in akukhethelekile ukuthi yintombazane or umfana uzwa abadala bethi yistage but how do you address istage which is the most important part of every growing child.

Ukuthula kuletha inyembezi later and asiyekeni lento yokuthi umntwana kumele abengumntwana forever until umzali esekubona yena ukuthi usekhulile. We tend to forget that imizwa lokunye akulindi umzali ukuthi ngesikhathi sakhe sokuthi usekhulile ungabi lenhloni ukuthi umntwana akubuze kanti njalo lawe mzali ungabi lenhloni ukuphendula. Abanye babuye bathi ukukhuluma lomntwana kuzoletha ukungahlonitshwa but let us be honest the moment you don’t have that open dialogue kulapho okuqala khona uhlupho. Having an open discussion lengane yakho kuphakamisa izinga lokuthembana njalo kusondeza umzali lengane eduze.

Uyakhuluma yini, about how wena loyise or lonina lahlangana njani kuphi and yini elibona kungani ngabe lalikwazi before ngabe alikwenzanga or ngabe lakwenza ngcono, those advantage and disadvantages of before or after.

Bangaki abazali namhlanje abathi they wish their parents could have spoken to them about sex and if they did ngabe impilo zabo zabangcono kakhulu and they would have made better choices within their lives. The pregnancy rate within our black society is appalling and way too higher than other races where parents tend to give their children sex education. Laba abamhlophe why is that?..... kubo kungani kunganeno bona kanti kuyini abakwenzayo ngcono ukuze lathi sikufunde.

Mostly is still the above communication within umzali lomntwana.

Bazali asithi ulomntwana oyintombazana usezongena kustage sokuphuhla, istage se-menstruation and those changes emzimbeni wakhe umntwana ufuna ukwazi ukuba leligazi livela ngaphi and wenzani lapho esekuleso stage, she needs to know what to use and how to use that particular thing othi ayisebenzise. Ayikho into ebuhlungu nje ngokuthi umzali wakho acabangele ukuba uzobuza kwabanye or acabangele ukuba uyakufundiswa esikolo and think is not necessary to give a child at least five minutes to discuss anything ngoba elamahloni or ecabangela.

Kulapho ke umntwana asuka ayendinga izaluleko lokuboniswa. Akukhethelekile ukuba ngubani okhuluma laye umama or ubaba, udadewabo kumbe ugogo, lakhona if she is lucky to have labo bantu emndenini. What about those who have no grown ups to talk too or those who have one parent nokunjalo bayakundinga ukuba labo baxhwayiswe ngakho. If you are a single parent kulapho omalume lezinye izinhlobo ezingena khona zikuncende kanti ke lamagroup enkozweni lawo ayasiza.

Kukhona abanye abathi mina ngabe umzali wami gave me a little bit of knowledge or shared his or her own mistakes ngabe lami angizange ngenza the same mistakes and l mean real detailed and informative sex talk not that African style talk that happens when umzali esuke wabona umtanakhe ekhoneni emi lomfana or intombazana ke lapho akusakhulunywa usethethiswa ngakho – I mean HELLO! Uyakhula umntwana vele besizofika isikhathi lapho azoma or azomiswa khona why not prepare her or him for that time.

Umfana kuya fika lapho okuthiwa ubhoboka ivoice and usevuka emanzi that also on its own is a shock emntwaneni uzondinga umuntu azokhuluma laye ngakho njalo. Kufike njalo istage sokuthi ufikelwa yimizwa again udinga ukwazi ukuba wenzani ngakho but unfortunately with our culture and norms uthola ukuthi no one will speak about it. We just pretend that akwenzakali but the truth be told kulapho esizwa kuthiwa umntwana ongumfana usuke wabamba umntwana wa-next door or kanye owangekhaya and also this happens a lot but again sikuthanyelela ngaphansi sithi it cannot happen and sibe labantwana bakhula being subjected to sexual abuse from their own family members that never gets addressed too but this a whole different topic for another day.

Here’s a break down of things to discuss and pay attention to during or after the sex talk:

1. Discuss about condoms and how they are used and why and again providing condoms to your teen children is not about promoting sex bantu but it is about prevention of sexual transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies

2. Taking your daughter to sex clinic so to be told about prevention is not about pregnant promotion but is about ukuqabela isisu esingekho planned. Kungangcono umtshele athi lalapho emitha kube yikuba umtshelile than to start talking about it after the demage have been done.

3. If your child is dating, they should introduce you to the person they are dating, this encourages both of them to be accountable and make better choices because they will honor your trust and not want to disappoint you. It may seem absurd but do you realise that not giving your children “permission” to date wont stop them from dating behind your back. I don’t know about you but I think it’s better for me to know who my child is dating and I can access that he or she is age appropriate or even someone I approve of.

4. Allow your child time to hang out with her friends and do innocent things like go to the mall and watch a movie with friends, have a sleep over at a trusted friend’s house, go out for ice cream. You just need to set a curfew of when they must be back. This is important because your child will feel that you trust them to make good choices in your absence.

Kids who are allowed leisure time will not be easily coerced to have sugar daddies because they will be already familiar with things sugar daddies use to coerce them into pedophilic sexual relationships

5. Share your own experiences, keep the floor open for discussions and future questions and most importantly set child set goals with your child. Ask them to envision what type of marriage they want in the future, what career and to think about the choices he/she personally will make for themself in order to accomplish that. That way children will feel that they are making choices for themselves in life and not you being a helicopter parent. This highly reduces rebellion.

In conclusion asifundeni bazali labazalisi to be open towards those issues we keep undressed towards our kids. l have learnt that nothing is new under the sun and all things that we go through in life it has already happened before and uyazi akuqali ngathi kanti njalo akuzi kucina njalo, is a circle of life.

Livela Kuphi Leli Zwi

UShiyin, EChina

Ngazalelwa emndenini wamaKristu, futhi nginezihlobo eziningi ezingabashumayeli. Kusukela ngesikhathi ngisemncane, ngalandela abazali bami ekukholweni eNkosini. Emva kokuba sengikhulile, ngabhekisa eNkosini ngomkhuleko: uma nje ngingathola umyeni okholwa eNkosini, ngingazinikela mina kanye naye sisebenzele iNkosi. Emva kokuba sengishadile, umyeni wami wayekholwa ngempela eNkosini, futhi waba ngumshumayeli ozinikele ngokuphelele. Ukuze umyeni wami ezwe ekhululekile emsebenzini wakhe weNkosi, futhi ukuze akwazi ukugcwalisa isibopho sakhe phambi kweNkosi, ngazinikela ukuthatha imithwalo yokubhekana nekhaya. Yize noma kwakunzinyana futhi kukhathaza, inhliziyo yami yayigcwele intokozo nokuthula noma ngabe ngangihlupheka kangakanani ngoba ngangineNkosi eceleni kwami ingeseka.

Emva kuka-1997, ngathola ukuthi umyeni wami wayengasakhanyiselekile ngendlela ayekade ekhanyiseleke ngayo ekuqaleni ekushumayeleni kwakhe. Lapho ngimcela ukuba enze okuthile okungumsebenzi wasekhaya, wayehlala njalo enza izaba ngokuthi wayematasatasa kangakanani nomsebenzi wakhe wokushumayela. Ngisho noma ewenzile umsebenzana wasendlini, inhliziyo yakhe yayisuke ingekho neze kuwona, futhi wayeye angithukuthelele ngezinto ezingatheni. Yize noma ngaphandle ngangibukeka ngibekezele futhi ngingahilizisani naye, enhliziyweni yami ngazizwa ngingenelisekile ngempela ngezindlela zomyeni wami. Imithwalo enzima yempilo yasekhaya nobumnyama bomoya wami kwangenza ngaphila ebuhlungwini. Into engangingayenza kwakungukuziletha ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu ngikhuleke ezinzulwini zobusuku lapho wonke umuntu eselele, ngicele iNkosi inginikeze ukholo namandla athe xaxa. Ngesikhathi esifanayo futhi, ngangilangazelela ukubuya kweNkosi masisha ukuze ingisindise empilweni yami eyayilusizi.

Ngelinye ilanga ngo-Ephreli 2000, ngenkathi ngihlela kahle izingubo, ngathola isikhwama somyeni wami. Ngaqaphela ukuthi sasiqumbile, ngakho ngavula uziphu ngenxa yokulangazelela ukwazi ngase ngibona ukuthi kwakuneBhayibheli nencwadi yamaculo ngaphakathi. Kwakukhona futhi nencwadi entsha eyayikhaviwe ngekhava yangaphandle. Ngazicabangela ngathi: “Kungani ngingakaze ngiyibone le ncwadi ngaphambilini? Kufanele ukuthi incwadi ethile yokubheka kuyo abashumayeli, noma yincwadi equkethe okuhlangenwe nakho kwabantu abakholwayo. Kufanele nakanjani ngiyifunde, mhlawumbe ngingathola ukusizakala kuyona.” Ngiholwa ukulangazelela kwami, ngabona isihloko esasithi, “Labo Abazokwenziwa Baphelele Kufanele Babhekane Nokucwengwa.” “Saze sasisha futhi sangajwayeleka isihloko!” ngacabanga, “Ngokubuka nje isihloko sakhona, ukucwengwa akuyona into embi! Njengamanje ngisesimweni sokucwengwa okungaphezu kwamandla ami, ngakho kufanele ngithole ukuthi uhlangabezana kanjani ngokucwengwa futhi ngalokho ngingathola indlela yokuzilolonga.” Ngaleso sikhathi, ngaqala ukufunda: “Kwakuvame ukuthiwa bonke abantu bayofunga phambi kukaNkulunkulu bathi: ‘Akunandaba ukuthi ubani ongamthandi uNkulunkulu, kumele ngimthande Yena.’ Kodwa manje, ubhekene nokucwengwa. Akuhambisani nemibono yakho, ngakho uphelelwa ukholo kuNkulunkulu. Ingabe lolu uthando lweqiniso? Usufunde kaningi ngezenzo zikaJobe—ingabe usuzikhohliwe? … Lapho uhlupheka kumele ukwazi ukungacabangi ngenyama futhi ungakhonondi ngoNkulunkulu. Lapho uNkulunkulu ezifihla kuwe, kumele ukwazi ukuba nokholo lokumlandela, uphinde ube nothando owawunalo ekuqaleni, ungaluvumeli lube ntekenteke noma lunyamalale. Akunandaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenzani, kumele uhloniphe uhlelo Lwakhe, ukulungele ukuqalekisa inyama yakho kunokukhononda Ngaye. Lapho ubhekene nezilingo, kumele wanelise uNkulunkulu naphezu kokunqikaza ukuzihlanganisa nokuthandayo, noma ukukhala kabuhlungu. Yilokhu kuphela okungabizwa ngokuthi uthando lweqiniso nokholo. Akunandaba ukuthi isimo sakho sangempela siyini, kumele uqale uzimisele ukubekezelela ubunzima kanye nokholo lweqiniso, futhi kumele uzimisele ukulahla inyama. Kufanele uzimisele ukubekezelela ubunzima nokulahlekelwa izinto ozithandayo ukuze ufeze intando kaNkulunkulu. Kumele uphinde ube nenhliziyo yokuzisola, ukuthi awukwazanga ukwanelisa uNkulunkulu phambilini, futhi ukwazi ukuzisola manje. Akukho nokukodwa kulokhu ongakuntula futhi uNkulunkulu uyokupheleliswa ngalezi zinto. Uma untula le mibandela, awunakupheleliswa.” La mazwi ayithinta ngempela inhliziyo yami. Ngangifunda ngikhala ngesikhathi esifanayo, njengoba la magama ayekhuluma ngesimo sami ngqo. Ngaphambilini nganginqume ukuzinikela mina nomyeni wami eNkosini. Ngangihlala ngenelisekile ngokuphelele ukubhekana nayo yonke imithwalo yekhaya ukuze ngeseke umyeni wami emsebenzini ayewenzela iNkosi ngaphandle, kungakhathaleki ukuthi kwakubuhlungu noma kukhathaza kangakanani. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yobunzima ekhaya nokungakhathali komyeni wami, ngangihlale nginomuzwa wokuthi ngiphathwe kabi, ngihlala esimweni sokubhekana nokucwengwa, futhi ngalahlekelwa ukholo kanye nothando engangikade nginalo ekuqaleni. Ngangingakwazi ukugcina isinqumo engangisenze phambi kukaNkulunkulu, futhi ngangivame ukukhala ngingedwa ngasese. Ngacabanga ngokuthi uJobe wayekwaze kanjani ukufakazela uNkulunkulu phakathi kwesilingo esikhulu futhi esinzima, nokungalahli ukholo kuNkulunkulu, futhi wayeze wathi, “UJehova uphile, futhi uJehova uthathile; malibongwe igama likaJehova” (UJobe 1:21). Ngangingakukhohlwa kanjani lokho? Ngabe sengizisola kakhulu ngakho konke engangikwenzile phambi kukaNkulunkulu: UJobe wayencamela ukuzwa ubunzima futhi alahlekelwe yizinto azithandayo kodwa nokho akwazi ukwenelisa uNkulunkulu. Ngase ngikholwe eNkosini iminyaka eminingi impela, kodwa ngase ngilahlekelwe ukholo eNkosini. Ngakhononda eNkosini ngenkathi ngibhekene nokucwengwa, futhi yikuphi lapho ngangibonise khona uthando ngeNkosi na? Nginalokhu engqondweni, ngenza isinqumo ngedwa, ukuthi ngangingeke ngisakwazi ukufana nalokhu engangiyikho ngaphambili, ukuthi ngangizokweseka umyeni wami emsebenzini ayewenzela iNkosi, nokuthi kwakufanele ukuba ngibhekane nokuhlupheka okuthile.

Ngesikhathi ngicabanga ngale ndlela, ngokushesha ngazizwa ngingcono emphefumulweni. Ngezwa ukuthi la mazwi ayekhulunywe kahle kakhulu, futhi ayekwazi ukufinyelela esimweni sami sangempela. Ngabona ukuthi ayekwazi ukukhomba indlela yokwenza kimi futhi abangele ukuba ukholo namandla kuqubuke ngaphakathi kimi ngingazelele. Ngazicabangela ngathi: “Ubani owasho la mazwi? Kwenzeka kanjani ukuba ulwazi lwakhe luphakame kangaka? Sengifunde izincwadi ezithile ezilotshwe ngabantu abadume kakhulu abakholwayo, futhi nakuba lezo zincwadi zazilethe inzuzo kwabanye abantu, zazingabhalwanga ngendlela ecacile futhi ekhanyisela ngendlela yale ncwadi, noma enamaqiniso angaka. Ngempela, ubani owakhuluma la mazwi?” Yangidonsa le ncwadi ukuba ngiqhubeke ngiyifunde, futhi lapho ngiqhubeka ngifunda ngaya ngokuya ngizwa sengathi impela la mazwi ayekhulunywe kahle kakhulu. Umugqa ngamunye wawukhuluma nengaphakathi lenhliziyo yami. Kusukela kula mazwi ngaqonda ukuthi kungakhathaleki ukuthi ukuhlupheka komuntu kukhulu kangakanani, kumele alandele uNkulunkulu kuze kube sekugcineni. Lapho ebhekene nokuhlupheka, umuntu kufanele azithobe ngokuzinikela kuNkulunkulu. Uma umuntu eba buthakathaka lapho ebhekene nezilingo, kufanele abe nokholo, futhi ancike kuNkulunkulu ukuze ame aqine. Lapho ngiqhubeka ngifunda, ngazizwa ngikhanyiseleka ngokwengeziwe enhliziyweni yami futhi ngazithola ngokwengeziwe ngiba nendlela yokukwenza lokhu. Kwaba yilapho kanye lapho umyeni wami afika ekhaya, futhi ngambuza ngokushesha, “Uyithathephi le ncwadi?” Umyeni wami wamamatheka wathi, “Kukhona engiyiboleke kuyena, futhi kufanele ngimbuyisele yona maduzane.” Ngathi, “Nami ngifuna ukuyifunda le ncwadi.” Umyeni waphendula emamatheka, wathi, “Ngakho-ke thandaza! UNkulunkulu angenza kube njalo.”

Ngelinye ilanga, ngenkathi ngipheka, ngangilokhu ngilalela ngibuye ngingalaleli iculo elalidlalwa ngumyeni wami, “Ngubani ongamangali ngalokhu? Ngubani ongalangazeleli ukubona uNkulunkulu? UNkulunkulu usechithe iminyaka phakathi kwabantu, kodwa umuntu akakuboni nhlobo lokhu. Namuhla, uNkulunkulu uqobo usebonakele ukuze avuselele uthando Lwakhe oludala nomuntu. Emva kokusuka eJudiya, uNkulunkulu wanyamalala akwasala mkhondo. Abantu balangazelela ukumbona futhi, kodwa abakaze balindele ukuhlangana Naye futhi lapha nanamuhla. Kwakungenzeka kanjani lokhu kungabuyisi izinkumbulo zakudala? Eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili eyedlule, uSimoni indodana kaJona wahlangana neNkosi uJesu, futhi wadla neNkosi etafuleni elilodwa. Iminyaka yokulandela yajulisa uthando lwakhe Ngaye. Wayethanda uJesu ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yakhe. UNkulunkulu usechithe iminyaka phakathi kwabantu, kodwa umuntu akakuboni nhlobo lokhu. Namuhla, uNkulunkulu uqobo usebonakele ukuze avuselele uthando Lwakhe oludala nomuntu, ukuze avuselele uthando Lwakhe oludala nomuntu” (“Iminyaka Eyizinkulungwane Ezimbili Yokulangazelela” kwethi Landelani Iwundlu Nihlabelele Izihlabelelo Ezintsha). Amazwi aleli culo avuselela imicabango yami futhi angivusela imizwa yokulangazelela ukubuya kweNkosi. Ngakhala njengalokhu ngangilalele, futhi ngazicabangela ngathi: “Selokhu ngaqala ukukholwa eNkosini, ngangicabanga ngeNkosi uJesu zonke izinsuku, futhi ngethemba ukuthi ingabuya masisha ukuze ngikwazi ukuyixoxela izindaba zezikhathi esezadlula. La mazwi ayeqinisile ngempela futhi enyakazisa umphefumulo, futhi nakakhulu ayekwazi ukuzwakalisa ukulangazelela kwabantu uNkulunkulu.” Ngabe sengiyeka lokho engangikwenza ngalalelisisa kahle, ngizwa elinye iculo elithi “Funa Kuphela Inhliziyo Ethanda UNkulunkulu”：“Angiceli lutho empilweni yami ngaphandle kokuthi imicabango yami yothando lukaNkulunkulu nezifiso zenhliziyo yami kwamukelwe nguNkulunkulu.” Ngacabanga ngathi, “Ubani owabhala leli culo? Kwenzeka kanjani ukuba isinqumo sakhe sibe sikhulu kangaka? Leli culo liyakhuthaza kakhulu kimina, futhi ingabe imsulwa kangakanani inhliziyo ethanda uNkulunkulu njengoba ikhuluma la mazwi, ‘Angiceli lutho empilweni yami ngaphandle kokuthi imicabango yami yothando lukaNkulunkulu!’ Ngaphambili, lapho ngikholwa eNkosini, ngangingazi ngokuthanda iNkosi, futhi ngangifuna nje kuphela ukuthokozela umusa, ukuthula nentokozo evela eNkosini. Namuhla, leli culo lavula kakhulu indlela engangibuka ngayo umhlaba, futhi ngabona ukuthi abantu abakholwa kuNkulunkulu kufanele bamthande uNkulunkulu, futhi akufanele bazifunele lutho futhi yilolu hlobo lothando kuphela olungaba msulwa. Leli culo liculwa kahle kakhulu.” Ngabe senginquma ngokuyimfihlo enhliziyweni yami ukuthi nami ngiyafuna ukufuna le mpokophelo, nokuthi ngangizothanda iNkosi nomkungakhathaleki ukuthi ubani owayengayithandi.

Ngemva kokufunda amazwi ayekule ncwadi, kanye nokuzwa lawo maculo, ngabe sengenza njengokusho kwalawo mazwi. Lapho umyeni wami ephuma futhi uyosebenza futhi engenaso isikhathi sokusiza ngemisebenzi yasendlini, inhliziyo yami yayingakhathazeki njengoba yayenza ngaphambilini. Uma abafowethu nodadewethu benanoma yimaphi amaphutha abakushoyo, nami ngangikwazi ukubathethelela kuloko ababesuke bekushilo, ngoba ngangifuna ukwenza uNkulunkulu eneliseke. Ngangifuna kuphela ukufuna inhliziyo ethanda uNkulunkulu njengalokho iculo lalishilo.

Ngokuphazima kweso, isikhathi sokutshala amasimu sase sifikile. Ngokunye ukuhlwa, umyeni wami wayeqoqaqoqa wase ethi kimi, “Kusasa, ngizophuma ngiyosebenza ebandleni elikwenye indawo.” Ngathi ngokushesha, “Uzokwazi yini ukubuya emva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa?” Wathi, “Angazi. Ngizozama konke okusemandleni ami ukuba ngibuye ngokushesha, ukuze ungakhathazeki ngomsebenzi wasendlini.” Lapho ngizwa lokho ayekusho, ubuso bami bahwaqabala, futhi ngacabanga, “Uthi ngingakhathazeki ngakho, kodwa ngingahlala kanjani ngingakhathazeki? Uyahamba futhi awazi nokwazi ukuthi uzobuya nini, futhi amasimu akwamanye amakhaya asetshaliwe vele. Eyethu insimu ayikalinywa nokulinywa, futhi uma imbewu itshalwe emva kwesikhathi, ekwindla ngeke sibe nesivuno esihle. Uma leso sikhathi sesifika, siyokwenzenjani? Ukube nje umyeni wami uqala ngokuqeda ukuhlwanyela insimu yakhe bese ehamba-ke ayosiza abafowethu nodadewethu!” Kusihlwa ngalo lolo suku, ngalala embhedeni wami bungafiki ubuthongo ngigcwele ukuyaluza kwenhliziyo okukhulu: Ngesikhathi egcina ukuhamba umyeni wami wahamba isikhathi esingaphezu kwengxenye yenyanga ngaphambi kokuba abuye, kepha kwakungesona isikhathi sokusebenza epulazini. Manje, isikhathi esibucayi somsebenzi wasepulazini sase sifikile, futhi uma ehamba enye ingxenye yenyanga, ngiyokwenzenjani? Ngingahle nje ngimyale ukuba ahambe ayofuna lowo asizana naye emsebenzini ukuba enze lo msebenzi nje kwaphela. Kodwa ngaphinde ngacabanga ngakho: “Lokho ngeke kulunge, njengoba abafowethu nodadewethu belindele yena ukuba azobasiza. Uma engahambi, ngeke yini lokho kube yicala eNkosini?” Esimweni sokucwengwa, ngeza ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu futhi ngathandaza: “Nkosi! Akukhona ukuthi angizimisele ukuba umyeni wami ahambe ayosiza abafowethu nodadewethu, ukuthi yisikhathi esifanele lapho umndeni wethu kufanele usebenze emasimini. Enhliziyweni yami, ngibhekene nokucwengwa okunzulu ngempela, futhi angazi ukuthi ngenzenjani. Nkosi! Ngicela usizo Lwakho, ukuba uvikele inhliziyo yami futhi ungangivumeli ukuba ngiphazanyiswe yilezi zinto.” Ngemva kokuthandaza, la mazwi angifikela ngokucace bha engqondweni yami: “Akunandaba ukuthi isimo sakho sangempela siyini, kumele uqale uzimisele ukubekezelela ubunzima kanye nokholo lweqiniso, futhi kumele uzimisele ukulahla inyama. Kufanele uzimisele ukubekezelela ubunzima nokulahlekelwa izinto ozithandayo ukuze ufeze intando kaNkulunkulu” (“Labo Abapheleliswayo Kumele Bacwengwe Kuqala” kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). Lawa mazwi masinyane ayibamba inhliziyo yami, futhi ayilethela ukukhanya okucacisayo: Kuyiqiniso lokho! Uma umuntu efuna ukwanelisa iNkosi, kumele anqume ukubekezela ubunzima futhi kufanele kunalokho abhekane nobunzima siqu sakhe futhi abe nokulahlekelwa kulokho akuthandayo ukuze anelise intando kaNkulunkulu! La mazwi anginika ukholo, futhi ngacabanga: Uma amasimu etshalwe emva kwesikhathi kancane, akusenani! Noma ngabe kungakanani esikuvunayo kusesandleni sikaNkulunkulu, futhi into ebaluleke kakhulu ngumyeni wami esebenzela iNkosi. Nginalokhu engqondweni, ngezwa ngilula futhi ngaba nokukhululeka enhliziyweni yami, futhi kwaba sengiyazumeka njalo. Ngakusasa ekuseni, ngathi kumyeni wami: “Khululeka uhambe uye emsebenzini weNkosi! Noma ngabe ubuya nini, akunandaba. Ngizothobela ilungiselelo likaNkulunkulu.” Lapho ngicabanga ngokuthi lokho engangikwenza kwakuyanelisa iNkosi, ngazizwa ngijabule futhi nginokuzinza enhliziyweni yami.

Umyeni wami wabuya emva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa, futhi ngathola ukuthi wayebonakala sengathi uguqukile waba omunye umuntu. Wangisiza ngemisebenzi yasendlini, wathi kimi: “Usebenza kanzima ngokwedlulele! Le minyaka embalwa edlule ibe nzima ngokwanele kuwe, wenza konke ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwendlu. Ngiyakwazi lokhu. Ngaphambilini, bengivame ukuhamba ngiyosebenza, ngingakusizi ukuhlanganyela nawe imithwalo yemisebenzi yasendlini. Esikhathini esizayo, ngizokwenza okuningi uma nginesikhathi.” Lapho ngizwa amazwi akhe, ngathinteka kakhulu ngoba umyeni wami wayengakaze akhulume ngale ndlela ngaphambili. Ngazicabangela ngathi: “Kusukela umyeni wami afunda leya ncwadi, kube khona uguquko olukhulu kuye. Akashumayeli nje kuphela ngokukhanya okukhulu, kepha isimo sakhe sengqondo ngami sihlukile kunakuqala. Ukufunda iBhayibheli kwakungazange kubangele izinguquko ezinjalo kuye esikhathini esidlule, kodwa emva kokufunda leya ncwadi wayeguquke kakhulu ngesikhathi esifushane. Kubonakala sengathi ngempela amazwi akuleya ncwadi anamandla okuguqula abantu!” Ngesikhathi esifanayo ngangizwa sengathi amazwi ale ncwadi ayebe nenzuzo enkulu nakimi. Ngemva kokuyifunda, nganginokholo namandla, futhi lapho ngenza ngokuvumelana namazwi ayo leya ncwadi, ukunganeliseki engangikuzwa ngomyeni wami kwashabalala. Ngemva kokuba umyeni wami efunde le ncwadi, isimo sakhe sengqondo ngami sashintsha, futhi waqonda ukuthi angikhathalele futhi anginakekele kanjani. Zonke lezi zinguquko zangenza ngacabanga nakakhulu ngamazwi aleya ncwadi ayenamandla ngempela futhi enegunya! Kodwa empeleni, ubani owayebhale amazwi ale ncwadi? Ngangingakaze ngiyithole impendulo yalokhu.

Ngolunye usuku, ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbili, umyeni wami wathi ufuna ukungithatha ukuba ngiye naye emhlanganweni. Nganginomuzwa wokuthi lo mbuthano wawuyoba into ekhethekile kakhulu, kungenjalo umyeni wami wayengeke angithathe ukuba ngiyolalela naye. Ngangigcwele ukulangazelela enhliziyweni yami, futhi ngijahile ukuphinde ngibone le ncwadi futhi. Ngakusasa, mina nomyeni wami, kanye nodadewethu ababili, sasihlezi ngenjabulo emotweni sisendleleni eya kudade othile. Kwakukhona abazalwane nodade abaningi ababeyingxenye yalo mbuthano, phakathi kwabo udade owayeseminyakeni engamashumi amathathu owayedidiyela iBhayibheli futhi ahlanganyele kithi ngamaqiniso amaningi ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Ngesikhathi ngilalele lokho udade ayehlanganyela nathi ngakho, ngazizwa nginohlobo olukhethekile lokukhanya enhliziyweni yami, futhi ngaqonda kahle iziqephu eziningi zeBhayibheli namayelana nokubuya kukaNkulunkulu ebuyela ukwenza umsebenzi wokwahlulela engangingawuqondi ngaphambili. Ngacabanga ngathi, “Uhlanganyela kanjani ngalokhu kahle kangaka, futhi ulixoxa kanjani iBhayibheli ngokucace kangaka? Ukwazi kanjani ukuba nokuqonda okungaka?” Khona-ke, udade lo, ubuso bakhe bugcwele ukumamatheka, washo kakhulu wathi, “Ngizotshela abafowethu nodade ulwazi olumangalisayo noluzojabulisa izinhliziyo zabantu. INkosi uJesu ekade sifisa ukuba ibuye isibuyile isenyameni phakathi kwethu ukwenza umsebenzi Wayo omusha, ukuveza izwi nokuvula wonke amaqiniso nezimfihlakalo, ukubeka obala izigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kanye nohlelo Lwakhe lokuphatha lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, kanjalo nokuba kukaNkulunkulu sesimweni somuntu nezimfihlakalo zeBhayibheli. Namuhla, okuqukethwe yilokho engihlanganyela ngakho konke kuvela emazwini avezwe nguNkulunkulu.” Mina nabafowethu nodadewethu ababehlezi sezwa le ndaba enhle, futhi ekugcineni saqonda ukuthi kungani udade wayeqonda okuningi kangaka. Kwavela ukuthi konke kwakutshelwe abantu ngephimbo leNkosi eyayibuyile. Manje nathi sezwa izwi leNkosi, futhi sonke sangana ngenjabulo, sakhala izinyembezi zenjabulo, futhi indawo yonke yaqala ukuvevezela ngomdlandla. Ngangijabule kakhulu kangangokuthi kwakuthi angigxume yinjabulo, futhi ngacabanga ngathi: Ngaso sonke lesi sikhathi bengifisa ukuthi iNkosi uJesu ibuye ngaphambili kwesikhathi esilindelwe. Manje iNkosi ibuyile ngempela! Ngesikhathi ngisaphila, ngiyakwazi ukwamukela ukubuya kweNkosi uJesu, futhi ngenxa yalokho ngibusisiwe ngempela!

Ngokushesha, lapho kufika isikhathi sokuba sihlakazeke, odade banikeza ngamunye wethu incwadi ethi Ukwahlulela Kuqala Endlini KaNkulunkulu. Ngibambelele encwadini yezwi likaNkulunkulu, ngacabanga ngokushesha ngaleya ncwadi yangaphambili. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi yiyo le ncwadi? Lapho ngifika emuva ekhaya, ngabuza umyeni wami ukuthi, “Incwadi engayibona ngaloluya suku—ingabe iyizwi likaNkulunkulu elifanayo naleli udade alikhulume namuhla?” Umyeni wami wamamatheka futhi wathi, “Kunjalo.” Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakusengathi ngangivuka ephusheni. Leli phimbo livela kuNkulunkulu ngempela, yiphimbo lokuba kweNkosi uJesu ebuyile sesimweni somuntu, futhi yiphimbo likaNkulunkulu! Akumangalisi ukuthi la mazwi akwazi ukungishukumisa kangaka, anginike ukholo namandla, aguqule isimo sami esikhohlakele, futhi angisuse ekuhluphekeni. Khona-ke, ngamgxeka umyeni wami, ngathi, “Uthole umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu; kungani ungifihlele na?” Umyeni wami wathi, “Ngalesiya sikhathi ngangifuna ngempela ukukutshela, kodwa iningi labantu basemndenini wakini bangabashumayeli ebandleni, futhi ngangesaba ukuthi ungase ungakuqondi lapho ngikuchazela. Ngangesaba ukuthi izihlobo zakho zizothola ngakho, futhi uma sezifikile ukuzokuphazanyisa nokukuvimbela, ngeke nje lokhu kugcine ngokudala ukuba nilahlekelwe yithuba lenu lokwamukela insindiso, kodwa futhi kwakuzongenza umuntu omubi!” Ngzwa lokho umyeni wami ayekusho, ukungamqondi kahle umyeni wami kwaphela, futhi ngaba nokubonga okwengeziwe kuNkulunkulu ngokungisindisa. Nganquma ukuba ngiyifunde kahle le ncwadi.

Ngenxa yokufunda izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla, umoya wami owomile wathola ukondleka nokunakekeleka…. Ngangingakaze ngicabange ukuthi ngangingakwazi ukuzwa izwi leNkosi ebuyile ngezami izindlebe, ukuba ngiphakanyiselwe ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu, ukubhekana ubuso nobuso noNkulunkulu, futhi ngazizwa nginokubonga okukhulu kuNkulunkulu ngothando nensindiso Yakhe. Emva kwezinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyi-10, umyeni wami nami kanye nodade abasabalalisa izwi sahlangana, sathatha abafowethu nodade bebandla lethu ababenokholo lwangempela eNkosini ukuba siyohlangana noNkulunkulu uSomandla. Lonke udumo nenkazimulo makube kuNkulunkulu!

Mayelana NoJobe(I)

Ngemva kokufunda ngendlela uJobe abhekana ngayo nezilingo, abaningi benu bangathanda ukwazi ezinye izinto mayelana noJobe, ikakhulukazi mayelana nemfihlo eyamenza wadunyiswa uNkulunkulu. Ngakho namhlanje, ake sikhulume ngoJobe!

Ekuphileni Kwansuku Zonke KukaJobe Sibona Ukulunga, Ubuqotho, Ukwesaba UNkulunkulu, Kanye Nokugwema Okubi

Uma sizokhuluma ngoJobe, khona-ke kumele sihlaziye izinto uNkulunkulu azisho ngaye: “akekho ofana naye emhlabeni, indoda engasoleki nelungile, owesaba uNkulunkulu, nogwema okubi.”

Ake siqale sifunde ngokulunga nobuqotho bukaJobe.

Kuyini ukuqonda kwenu ngamagama athi “ukulunga” nelithi “ubuqotho”? Ingabe niyakholelwa ukuthi uJobe wayengathukutheli futhi ehloniphekile? Yiqiniso, lokhu kuyoba ukuchaza igama negama lencazelo yelithi “ukulunga” nelithi “ubuqotho.” Into ebalulekile ekuqondeni ukuphila kwangempela kukaJobe—amazwi, izincwadi, nemibono ngeke kusinikeze izimpendulo. Sizoqala ngokubheka ukuphila kukaJobe kwasekhaya, ukuthi wayevame ukuziphatha kanjani. Lokhu kuyositshela ngemiyalo nemigomo yakhe ekuphileni, kanye nobuntu bakhe. Manje, ake sifunde amazwi okugcina kuJobe 1:3: “lo muntu wayengumuntu omkhulu kunabo bonke abantu basempumalanga.” Lokhu la mazwi akushoyo ukuthi igama langempela likaJobe kanye nokuma kwakhe kwakuphakeme kakhulu, nakuba singatshelwa ukuthi wayemkhulu kunabo bonke abantu basempumalanga ngenxa yokuthi wayenempahla eningi, noma ngenxa yokuthi wayelungile futhi eqotho, esaba uNkulunkulu futhi egwema okubi, siyazi ukuthi igama nokuma kukaJobe kwakuyigugu kakhulu. Njengoba kulotshiwe eBhayibhelini, into yokuqala abantu abayazi ngoJobe ukuthi wayelungile, ukuthi wayesaba uNkulunkulu egwema okubi, ukuthi wayenomcebo omkhulu futhi ezakhele igama elihle. Ukuze umuntu ojwayelekile aphile endaweni enjalo nangaphansi kwezimo ezinjalo, izinga lokuphila kukaJobe, nezinto ezihlukahlukene ekuphileni kwakhe ziyoba into abantu abaningi abagxile kuyo; ngakho kumele siqhubeke sifunda imibhalo: “Futhi amadodana akhe ahamba enza amadili ezindlini zawo, ileyo naleyo ngosuku lwayo; ayesethumela futhi abize odadewabo abathathu ukuba bazodla futhi baphuze nabo. Kwathi lapho, izinsuku zamadili sezidlulile, uJobe wathumela futhi wawangcwelisa, futhi wavuka entathakusa, futhi wanikela umnikelo wokushiswa okwakulingana nesibalo sawo onke: ngokuba uJobe wathi, “Kungenzeka ukuthi amadodana ami onile, futhi athuka uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zawo. Wenza njalo uJobe mihla yonke” (Jobe 1:4-5). La mavesi asitshela izinto ezimbili: Okokuqala ukuthi amadodana namadodakazi kaJobe ayeba nedili njalo, edla futhi ephuza; okwesibili ukuthi uJobe wayehlale enikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa ngoba wayekhathazekile ngawo, esaba ukuthi ayona, nokuthi izinhliziyo zabo zithuke uNkulunkulu. Kulokhu kuchazwa izinhlobo ezimbili zokuphila kwabantu. Abokuqala, amadodana namadodakazi kaJobe, ayevame ukuba nedili ngenxa yengcebo yawo, ayephuza iwayini adle izidlo aze asuthe, ejabulela ukuphila okusezingeni eliphezulu okwakulethwa umcebo. Ukuphila kanjalo, kwenza kwangagwemeka ukuthi ayezokona bese ecasula uNkulunkulu—kodwa awazange azingcwelise noma anikele iminikelo yokushiswa ngenxa yalokho. Ngakho uyabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengenayo indawo ezinhliziyweni zawo, ukuthi ayengacabangi ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, futhi engakwesabi ukucasula uNkulunkulu, ingasaphathwa eyokwesaba ukuphika uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zawo. Eqinisweni, asigxilile ezinganeni zikaJobe, kodwa ekutheni uJobe wenzani lapho ebhekene nezinto ezinjalo; lena enye indaba echazwe kuleli vesi, ebandakanya ukuphila kwakhe kwansuku zonke nobuntu bakhe. Lapho iBhayibheli lichaza idili lamadodana namadodakazi kaJobe, alikhulumi ngoJobe; limane lithi amadodana namadodakazi kaJobe ayedla futhi aphuze ndawonye. Ngamanye amazwi, wayengabi namadili, noma adle namadodana namadodakazi akhe. Nakuba wayecebile, wayenempahla kanye nezinceku eziningi, ukuphila kukaJobe kwakungenazo izinto eziningi. Wayengakhangwa ubukhazikhazi bendawo ayephila kuyo, futhi wayengenawo umhobholo ngezinto zenyama noma akhohlwe ukunikela iminikelo yokushiswa ngenxa yomcebo wakhe, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi imenze esabe uNkulunkulu kancane kancane enhliziyweni yakhe. Ngokusobala, uJobe wayengenawo umhobholo nomhawu ekuphileni kwakhe, futhi ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wambusisa. Kunalokho, wayethobekile futhi enesizotha, futhi eqaphe okwenzekayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, wayevame ukucabanga ngomusa nezibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, futhi ehlale emesaba uNkulunkulu. Ekuphileni kwakhe kwansuku zonke, uJobe wayesheshe avuke ukuze anikele umnikelo wokushiswa wamadodana namadodakazi akhe. Ngamanye amazwi, uJobe akagcinanga ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu, kodwa wayenethemba lokuthi izingane zakhe nazo zazizokwesaba uNkulunkulu zingoni. Ingcebo kaJobe yayingenandawo enhliziyweni yakhe, futhi ayingenanga endaweni kaNkulunkulu; kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngenxa yakhe noma yabantwana, ayekwenza uJobe kwakuhlale kubandakanya ukwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema ukwenza okubi. Ukwesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu akuphelelanga emlonyeni wakhe, kodwa wakubonisa ngezenzo, usuku ngalunye nakukho konke ukuphila kwakhe. Lokhu kuziphatha kwangempela kukaJobe kusibonisa ukuthi wayethembekile, futhi ethanda ubulungiswa nezinto ezinhle. Ukuthi uJobe wayevame ukungcwelisa amadodana namadodakazi akhe kusho ukuthi wayengakwemukeli ukuziphatha kwezingane zakhe; kunalokho, enhliziyweni yakhe wayeyichitha indlela ayeziphatha ngayo. Wayephethe ngokuthi ukuziphatha kwamadodana namadodakazi akhe kwakungamjabulisi uJehova uNkulunkulu, ngakho wayevame ukuwabiza phambi kukaJehova, avume izono zawo. Izenzo zikaJobe zisibonisa olunye uhlangothi lobuntu; ukuthi akakaze ahambe nabantu abonayo nabacasula uNkulunkulu, kodwa wayebagwema. Ngisho noma laba bantu babengamadodana namadodakazi akhe, akazange alaxaze imiyalo yakhe ngenxa yokuthi babeyigazi lakhe, futhi akawavunanga amadodana yakhe ngenxa yalokho ayekucabanga. Kunalokho, wawanxusa ukuba avume ukuze uJehova uNkulunkulu awabekezelele, futhi wawaxwayisa ngokuthi angashiyi uNkulunkulu ngenxa yobugovu bawo. Imiyalo yendlela uJobe aphatha ngayo abanye ayinakuhlukaniswa nemiyalo yokwesaba uNkulunkulu ugweme okubi. Wayekuthanda okwakwemukelwa uNkulunkulu futhi ekwenyanya okwakwenyanywa uNkulunkulu, ebathanda labo abathanda uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo, futhi ezonda abenzi bobubi nalabo abonayo kuNkulunkulu. Uthando nenzondo enjalo kwavela ekuphileni kwakhe kwansuku zonke, futhi yibona buqotho bukaJobe obabonakala emehlweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngokwemvelo, lobu ubuntu bukaJobe bamihla yonke okumele sifunde ngabo.

Ukuvezwa Kobuntu BukaJobe Phakathi Nezilingo Zakhe (Ukuqonda Ukulunga KukaJobe, Ubuqotho, Ukwesaba UNkulunkulu, Kanye Nokugwema Okubi Ezilingweni Zakhe)

Ngenhla sikhulume ngezinto ezihlukahlukene zobuntu bukaJobe ezavela ekuphileni kwakhe ngaphambi kovivinyo. Ngaphandle kokuthandabuza, lezi zinto ezihlukahlukene zisenza siqale sijwayelane futhi siqonde ubuqotho bukaJobe, sesabe uNkulunkulu, sigweme okubi, futhi zisenza siqiniseke. Into eyenza ngithi “siqale” ukuthi abantu abaningi abakabuqondi ubuntu bukaJobe nezinga amlalela ngalo uNkulunkulu futhi emesaba. Okusho ukuthi, ukuqonda kwabantu abaningi ngoJobe akudluleli ngalé kwezinto abantu abazithanda ngaye ezichazwe eBhayibhelini, njengokuthi “iNKOSI iphile, futhi iNKOSI ithathile; malibongwe igama leNKOSI” nethi “simukela okuhle okuvela esandleni sikaNkulunkulu, singekwamukela nokubi na?” Ngakho kunesidingo esikhulu kithi, sokuthi siqonde ubuntu bukaJobe lapho evivinywa uNkulunkulu; ngale ndlela, ubuntu bukaJobe buyobonakala kubo bonke abantu.

Lapho uJobe ezwa ukuthi impahla yakhe intshontshiwe, nokuthi amadodana namadodakazi akhe ashonile, nokuthi izinceku zakhe zibulewe, wenza ngale ndlela: “Khona-ke uJobe wasukuma, wabe eseklebhula isiphuku sakhe, futhi waphuca ikhanda lakhe, wabe esewela emhlabathini, futhi wakhuleka” (Jobe 1:20). La mazwi asitshela iqiniso elilodwa: Ngemva kokuzwa lezi zindaba, uJobe akethukanga, akazange akhale noma asole izinceku ezazilethe umbiko, ingasaphathwa-ke eyokuhlola isimo ngokuthi aphenye ukuze athole ukuthi kwenzekeni ngempela. Akazange aveze noma ibuphi ubuhlungu noma ukuzisola ngempahla eyayimlahlekele, noma akhale izinyembezi ngenxa yokushonelwa izingane, ngabantu abathandayo. Ngokuphambene nalokho, waklebhula ingubo yakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe, wawela emhlabathini, wakhuleka. Izenzo zikaJobe azifani nezomuntu ojwayelekile. Ziyabadida abantu abaningi, zibenza basole uJobe ngokuba nenhliziyo embi. Ngokulahlekelwa yizinto abanazo kungazelelwe, abantu abajwayelekile bayozwa ubuhlungu obukhulu, noma babe lusizi—futhi abanye bangacindezeleka kakhulu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ezinhliziyweni zabo, impahla yabo imelela ukuphila kwabo, ukuphila kwabo kuncike kuyo, iyisizathu sokuthi baqhubeke bephila; ukulahlekelwa impahla yabo kusho ukuthi imizamo yabo ibe yize, ukuthi abasenathemba futhi abasenalo ngisho nekusasa. Lona umbono noma yimuphi umuntu anawo ngempahla yakhe nendlela asondelene ngayo eduze nayo, futhi iyinto ebaluleke kunazo zonke emehlweni abo. Ngakho, abantu abaningi iyabadida indlela uJobe angatatazeli ngayo ngokulahlekelwa[b] impahla yakhe. Namhlanje, sizoqeda konke ukudideka abantu abanakho ngokuchaza okwakwenzeka enhliziyweni kaJobe.

Ingqondo yembula ukuthi ngemva kokuba uNkulunkulu emnike lezo zinto, uJobe kwakufanele ashaywe amahloni ngenxa yokulahlekelwa yilezo zinto, ngoba wahluleka ukuzinakekela izinto ayezinikwe uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, lapho ezwa ukuthi impahla yakhe yebiwe, into yokuqala okwakufanele ayenze kwakufanele aye lapho kwenzeke khona isigameko abale konke okuhambile,[c] bese ebikela uNkulunkulu ukuze athole ezinye izibusiso. Nokho uJobe akakwenzanga lokhu—futhi wayenezizathu zakhe zokwenza kanjalo. Enhliziyweni yakhe, uJobe wayekholelwa ngokuqinile ukuthi konke ayenakho wayekunikwe uNkulunkulu, futhi akakaze akusebenzele. Ngakho akazange azazise lezi zibusiso, waqhubeka ephila ngemiyalo yakhe. Wazazisa izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, futhi wabonga, kodwa akazange azibheke njengeziyigugu futhi akazange afune ezinye izibusiso. Leyo kwakuyindlela ayebheka ngayo impahla yakhe. Akukho lutho alwenza ukuze athole izibusiso, futhi akazange akhathazeke ngokulahlekelwa izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu; akazange ajabule kakhulu ngezibusiso uNkulunkulu amnika zona, futhi akazange angawunaki umusa uNkulunkulu ambonisa wona ngenxa yezibusiso ayezijabulela mihla yonke. Umbono kaJobe ngempahla yakhe wembula kubantu ubuntu bakhe bangempela: Okokuqala, uJobe wayengesiye umuntu ohahayo, futhi wayengafuni izinto ekuphileni kwakhe. Okwesibili, uJobe akakaze akhathazeke noma esabe ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezothatha konke ayenakho, okwakuwumbono wakhe ngokulalela uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yakhe; okusho ukuthi wayengafuni lutho, futhi engakhonondi ngalokho uNkulunkulu ayezokuthatha kuye, futhi wayengabuzi ukuthi kungani, kodwa wayefuna ukulalela amalungiselelo kaNkulunkulu. Okwesithathu, akakaze acabange ukuthi uyisebenzele impahla yakhe, kodwa wacabanga ukuthi uyiphiwe uNkulunkulu. Lolu kwakuwukholo lukaJobe kuNkulunkulu, futhi kubonisa inkolelo ayenayo. Ingabe ubuntu bukaJobe nezinto ayezifuna njalo kwawenza acaca la maphuzu amathathu ngaye? Ubuntu bukaJobe nezinto ayezifuna kwakubalulekile endleleni ayeziphatha ngayo lapho ebhekene nokulahlekelwa impahla. Yizinto uJobe ayezifuna njalo ezamenza waba nesibindi sokuthi, “iNKOSI iphile, futhi iNKOSI ithathile; malibongwe igama leNKOSI,” phakathi nokuvivinywa kwakhe uNkulunkulu. La mazwi awacatshangangwa ngobusuku obubodwa, futhi awamananga nje afika engqondweni kaJobe. Ayeyilokho ayekubonile futhi wadlula kukho ekuphileni kwakhe. Uma eqhathaniswa nabo bonke labo abafuna izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, abesaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzobathathela ini, futhi bakhononde ngakho, ingabe ukulalela kukaJobe akunalo iqiniso? Uma eqhathaniswa nabo bonke abakholelwa ukuthi ukhona uNkulunkulu, kodwa abangakholelwa ukuthi uphethe zonke izinto, ingabe uJobe akanakho yini ukwethemba nobuqotho obukhulu?

kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni

#IBandla LikaNkulunkulu USomandla #Amazwi KaNkulunkulu #ukwazi uNkulunkulu #Iqiniso
