Umvuzo wokuthobela

1*UNdikhoyo wathi: “Ze ningazenzeli izinto nizinqule, ningaqingqi imifanekiso, okanye nimise iintsika zamatye, nikrole namatye, ze nijike nizinqule ezo zinto. Ndim uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. 2Nina gcinani *iMihla yam yokuPhumla, niyihlonele indawo endinqulwa kuyo. Kaloku ndim uNdikhoyo.

3“Xa nisenza ngokwemimiselo yam, niyithobela imiyalelo yam, 4ndiya kunipha imvula ngexesha, uze umhlaba wenu uvelise isivuno, nemithi ithwale iziqhamo. 5Ngexesha enivuna iidiliya niya kuba nisabhula ingqolowa, kwaye iidiliya niya kuzivuna kude kufike ixesha lokuhlwayela ingqolowa kwakhona. Niya kutya nihluthe, nihlale ngokonwaba elizweni lenu.

6“Ndiya kuzisa uxolo elizweni lenu, nilale ubuthongo obumnandi ningaxhalelanga bani. Amarhamncwa ndowaphelisa kwilizwe lenu, yaye akuyi kube kubekho mfazwe. 7Utshaba lwenu noluswantsulisa, nilutyakatye ngekrele. 8Isihlanu nje samadoda enu siya kulichitha-chitha ikhulu lamadoda; ukanti lona ikhulu lamadoda liswantsulise ishumi lamawaka. Ewe, iintshaba zenu nozibhuqa. 9Ndiya kuba nani, ndinenze nichume nande, niwugcine umnqophiso endawenzayo nani. 10Soba yintaphane isivuno senu, nikulahle ukutya okudala ukwenzela isivuno esitsha indawo koovimba benu. 11Mna ndohlala ndihleli phakathi kwenu, ndingaze ndikruquke nini. 12Ndoba nani, ndibe nguThixo wenu, nina nibe ngabantu bam. 13Ndim mna Ndikhoyo uThixo wenu owanikhupha eJiputa ukuze ningabi ngamakhoboka ayo. Ndayaphula loo dyokhwe yobukhoboka, ndanenza abantu abaneqhayiya nebhongo.”

EYONQULO 26:1-13XHO96Vula kumfundi weBhayibhile

I am the Lord your God that brought you out of Egypt… I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads up high. Are we caught up in our own problems and pain that we fail to look to God. Being self-absorbed causes us to miss out on so much of what God wants to give us, don’t you think? For some, it takes years to change attitudes and outlooks on life. Let us receive what God has already given us, lift our heads up high, and receive all God’s blessings, and then show others how it is also possible for others to walk and talk, with heads up high.
