“Nongawuthabathiyo umnqamlezo wakhe, alandele emva kwam, akandifanele mna. Lowo uwufumeneyo
umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; nalowo uwulahlileyo umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, uya kuwufumana." (UMateyu 10:38-39)

​
Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba ukuzila ukutya kwakufanelekile kuphela kwiTestamente eNdala, kwaye akusafuneki ukuba sizile kwakhona. Kodwa iTestamente eNtsha ithi: “Xa nizila ukutya” (UMateyu 6:16). IBandla lokuqala lazila ukutya lathandaza; bebesazi ukuba akukho ndlela zimfutshane.
Xa abafundi badibana nenkwenkwe elinedimoni, abazange bakwazi ukulikhupha. UYesu wathi: “Olu hlobo aluphumi ngaphandle kokuthandaza nokuzila ukutya.” Kukho iindawo ezithile esinegunya kuzo, kodwa ezinye izinto zithabatha ukuthandaza nokuzila ukudla. Sizilela ukuhamba koMoya phezu koMzantsi Afrika. Siyazila ukuba uThixo asichukumise esi sizwe.
“Olu hlobo ke aluphumi, kungengako ukuthandaza nokuzila ukudla.” (UMateyu 17:21)

Ngaba akufanelekile ukuhlawula ixabiso? Ukwazi ukuba ngendlela yethu yobomi, sinokuyingenisa imiphefumlo kuBukumkani bukaThixo? UThixo unokusisebenzisa xa siyeka ukubeka kwindawo yokuqala ubomi bethu nentuthuzelo yethu.
"Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni noKristu; ayisendim ke odla ubomi, nguKristu ke oselesidla ubomi kum. Ubomi ke endibudlayo ngoku, ndisenyameni, ndibudlela ekukholweni kuNyana kaThixo, owandithandayo, wazinikela ngenxa yam." (KumaGalati 2:20)

UIsaya 58 usifundisa ukuba ukuzila ukutya kuyaphula idyokhwe. Ukuzila ukutya kwandisa ukuthanjiswa, okususa imithwalo enzima. Umntu akanakusinceda; nguThixo kuphela onako. Ukuzila ukutya kunye nomthandazo kusinika amandla okwazi ukuba uThixo unamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo Zonke Izinto-Zinokwenzeka-uThixo oguqula ubomi bethu.
​
Ukuzila ukutya kuyasithoba kwaye kwenza indlela yokuba amandla kaThixo angene ebomini bethu. Asinawo amandla okuyenza kwindoda yethu yendalo. UMoya kaThixo uthatha indawo, kwaye uhambisa iintaba ebomini bethu xa sizila ukutya kwaye sithandaza.
"Kuba izixhobo zethu zemfazwe ayizizo ezenyama, kodwa ngaye uThixo zinamandla okudiliza iinqaba..."

Ngobabalo, sisindisiwe kwaye sahlukaniswa nehlabathi kunye nesono. Ngobabalo lwaKhe, similiselwe kubuntu beNkosi uYesu. Kuhlala kungobabalo, kungekhona ngemisebenzi. Ubabalo lusinika oko kuvuleka noThixo apho simvumela khona, kwaye usebenza kuthi. Siyigadi yaKhe.
Ngumyezo waKhe, ubizo lwaKhe, kunye nobomi baKhe. Singabakhe – umoya, umphefumlo nomzimba. SingaboKumkani weeKumkani kunye neNkosi yeeNkosi. Sinoxanduva lokugcina igadi icocekile kuba ufuna ukungena aze athethe nathi.
“Kuba singabasebenzi abangamadlelane (abakhuthazi, abasebenzi kunye) kunye noThixo; ningumyezo kaThixo, nesidiliya, nentsimi elinywa kuyo, sisakhiwo sika Thixo.” (1 KwabaseKorinte 3:9)

UMoses wayeyenye indoda eyahlangula uhlanga. UAbraham wayengomnye wabalamleli xa uThixo wayeza kutshabalalisa izixeko. Ukucenga kunamandla. UDaniyeli wathandaza waza wazila ukutya kangangeeveki ezintathu. Ukudibana kwakhe noThixo kwabangela ukuba isiphatha-zingelosi uMikayeli silwe nenkosana yasePersi nenkosana yaseGrisi. Wazithoba, wazohlwaya phambi koYehova; UDaniyeli wazivuma izono zakhe. UThixo ukhangela ooDaniyeli banamhlanje.

1. UThixo Ongcwele
Kuphela kukuzinikela rhoqo okunokuthi kucenge iNkosi ukuba ingene emyezweni waYo. Uya kungena xa kukho isiqhamo sokuMnelisa. Abantu abaninzi bafuna ubukho bukaThixo. Bafuna uThixo abe nabo yonke imihla, kodwa unguThixo ongcwele kwaye akayi kuhlala ekungcoleni. Masingazoyiki kwaye singakhathali kwaye sikhululeke kakhulu. SingabeNkosi!
Sifanele siphile ngendlela yokuba afune ukusityelela kwigadi Yakhe kwaye afumane into ayifunayo. Sifuna ukuba uThixo abe nobudlelane nathi, athethe nathi. Asinakukwazi ukuba sebusweni bakhe kodwa siphile njengosathana. Ayisebenzi ngaloo ndlela. UThixo unguThixo ongcwele.
"Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba ukhozo lwengqolowa oluwe emhlabeni aluthanga lufe, lona luhlala lungabi nto; kodwa ukuba luthe lwafa, luthwala isiqhamo esininzi." (UYohane 12:24)
​
2. Intliziyo Engcwele

Ukuzila ukutya kungobabalo. Asinako ukuqhayisa ngokuzila ukudla kwethu. Ukuba "senza" ukuzila, ngoko sithi. Xa sizila ukutya, siyazithoba phambi koThixo. Ukuzila ukutya kusilungelelanisa nokuthanda kukaThixo. Kufuneka kubekho ukwaphuka ekuzileni kwethu. Ukuzila ukutya akufuneki kuqhutywe ngokwakho. Kufuneka ukuba kukhokelwe nguMoya.
Bathandaza ke abaFarisi besithi, Thixo, ndiyabulela kuwe, ukuba andinjengabanye abantu, ngokuba ndizila ukudla kabini ngeveki. Xa sizila ukutya, asiqhayisi ngokuzila ukutya. Endaweni yoko, sithobekile kwaye sizicingela. Sijonge kuThixo kwaye simcele ukuba akhanyise ukukhanya kwakhe. Ukuzila kufuneka ibe lixesha lokugocagoca iintliziyo zethu kunye nenguquko. Yiloo nto kanye ekuthethwa ngayo ngokuzila ukutya.
“Ke wena, xa uzila ukudla, yithambise intloko yakho, ubuhlambe ubuso bakho; ukuze ungabonakali ebantwini
ukuba uzilile, ubonakale kuYihlo osemfihlekweni; aze uYihlo obona emfihlakalweni anibuyekeze ekuhleni.”
