🎄10

❄️Nie wyspałem się miałem całą noc koszmary związane z rocznicą

W jednym zapomniałem o wielu rzeczach i jeździłem za każdym razem po np jedzenie potem żeby się przebrać Busem w dodatku i koniec końców nie było mnie na swojej rocznicy trzeźwości a jak weszlem okazało się, że wgl się meeting nie odbył a ludzie mnie zwyzywali 😐

Stresowałem się cały dzień ale to był taki pozytywny stres

❄️Na mojej rocznicy było tak jak chciałem Bez cudów bez samochwalstwa, uwielbienia Boga, siły wyższej oraz aa Przyli ludzie na, których mi zależało przez cały rok również moja mama i przyjaciółka Widzialem po nich, że cieszą się z mojego sukcesu Naprawdę to była dla mnie wzruszająca chwila Jestem najmłodszy i tak się śmiałem, że im się instynkt wychowawczy przy mnie włączył XD ja też na początku nie wiedziałem jak gadać z nimi ale sie bardzo z nimi zrzyłem Ciesze się Też z tego, że moja przyjaciółka była Wątpiłem w to bo ma studia swoje życie a jednak 🥺 Tak mi ciepło na serduchu teraz

Narzekałem w swoje urodziny, że nie mogę zorganizować imprezy bo znajomi by chcieli pic a przyjaciółki by nie przyjechały a tu moja rocznica mi to całkowicie to zrekompensowała

Większą mi radość sprawiło świętowanie roku trzeźwości niż których kolwiek moich urodzin Jednak taki dzień maduze znaczenie Pokazało mi , że idę w dobrym kierunku, że ile wysiłku mnie to kosztowało i masę pracy nad sobą oraz to, że mam ludzi na których mogę liczyć 🖤

❄️Moja mama i przyjaciółka nie zraziły się do meetingu fajnie, ze mogły przeżyć i wejść w te drugą część mojego zycia jakim są meetingi

❄️Babci że sobą nie wziolem że względu na to, że nie jest w najlepszej kondycji a droga jest bardzo śliska i balem się, że jej się coś stanie Obiecałem jej, że jak wrócę opowiem jej jak było Dotrzymałem słowa 😉 Długi dość z nią rozmawiałem Bardzo miłe spędziliśmy czas 🥰

❄️Zmieniłem wkoncu pościel Jest dość sztywna ale git Piękna az żal w niej spać XD

Political scientist Linda Maduz. (Photograph: Daniel Winkler) Your research focuses on Asia. Do you have any personal connection to the region?Well, my mother comes from South Korea. And that’s given me a natural interest and sympathy for the region. But the fact I ended up specialising in Asian affairs as a political scientist came about almost by chance. Demand for people with knowledge of…

Sengiyakwazi Ukuhlukanisa Phakathi KukaKristu Wangempela NoKristu Bamanga

                                                                             UChuanyang. eMelika

Ngo-2010, ubusika eMelika bangenza ngagodola kakhulu. Ngaphezu kokubanda okuhlabayo kudalwa inhlanganisela yomoya nokukhithika, okwakukubi nakakhulu ukuthi inhliziyo yami yayingenelwe futhi yahlaselwa “yigagasi elibandayo” Kulabo kithina abasebhizinisini lokuhlobisa ezindlini, ubusika yisikhathi esinzima kakhulu sonyaka, ngoba uma ubusika buqala uba mncane kakhulu umsebenzi. Sibhekana nokulahlekelwa nayimisebenzi yethu. Lo kwakuwunyaka wami wokuqala eMelika, ngangisanda kufika nje ngehla emkhunjini, futhi ngangizwa sengathi konke kwakungajwayelekile kimi. Ukuqasha indawo yokuhlala, ukuthola umsebenzi, akukho okwakulula, futhi izinsuku zami zazigcwele ubunzima. Kwaze kwafika lapho ngangiboleka khona imali yokuqasha indawo yokuhlala. Ukubhekana nalolu hlobo lwezinkinga kwangilethela isiwombe sosizi, futhi ngezwa sengathi izinsuku zazizinzima kakhulu. Ebusuku ngangibhekana nodonga olubandayo, nginezinhlungu eziningi kimi kangangokuthi konke engangikufuna ukukwenza kwakuwukukhala. Ngolunye usuku, njengoba ngangizihambela nje ngingazi nokuthi ngiyaphi ngingodabukile umuntu othile owayesabalalisa ivangeli leNkosi uJesu wanginika ikhadi, wase ethi kimi: “INkosi uJesu iyakuthanda, mfowethu, woza ebandleni lethu ulalele izwi leNkosi!” Ngazicabangela ngathi: Vele ayikho into engiyenzayo njengamanje, ngakho-ke ngeke ngilahlekelwe lutho uma ngiyolalela lokhu, angivele ngiye, kuyinto yokwenziwa. Ngakho-ke kanjalo nje, ngangena ebandleni. Ngezwa umfundisi efunda ngezwi elikhulu iNkosi uJesu ithi: “Ngoba uNkulunkulu walithanda kangaka izwe, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe eyodwa, ukuthi yilowo nalowo okholelwa kuyo angashabalali, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade” (Johane 3:16). Lapho ngizwa lo musho ngathinteka kakhulu uthando lukaJehova. Angikwazi ukuchaza ngokucacile uhlobo lwemizwa, kodwa ngangizwa ukuthi uthando lweNkosi lwalungoloqobo, nokuthi lwalwedlula uthando lwezwe lonke. Inhliziyo yami elusizi yazizwa iduduzeka kakhulu. Ngenxa yalokho, nganquma ukubeka ithemba eNkosini uJesu. Emva kwalokho ngaqala ngentshisekelo ukuhlanganyela emihlanganweni njalo ngeBandla, futhi ngenxa yokufuna kwami ngentshiseko ngashesha ngaba yisisebenzi ebandleni.

Ngemva kokukhonza ebandleni iminyaka emibili, ngezwa kakhulu sengathi iNkosi yayingekho eduze kwami. Angizange ngizwe ngikhanyiselwa lapho ngifunda iBhayibheli, angizange ngizizwe nginyakaziswa ngomthandazo, futhi angizange ngizizwe sengathi ngihlinzekwa ngokuthile ngemihlangano. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngabona ukuthi wonke umuntu ebandleni wayehlala esimweni lapho ona khona emini bese evuma izono kusihlwa, nokuthi wonke umuntu, kungakhathaleki ukuthi abefundisi, abadala noma amakholwa avamile, babeboshwe yisono, babenezingxabano zomona, bedala ukwahlukana phakathi kwabazalwane, belwela udumo nenzuzo, futhi benamathele ezintweni zezwe. Zonke izinhlobo zokuziphatha okungekuhle zaziya ngokuya zibonakala ngokucacile. Ngabona nokuthi abantu emphakathini babelokhu bedlebeleka kakhulu usuku nosuku, babeya ngokuya beba nobubi ngokwengeziwe futhi beba ngogombela kwesabo ngokweqile, nezinhlekelele zenzeka emhlabeni wonke—ukuzamazama komhlaba, indlala kanye nezifo kwakulokhu kuqubuka. Zonke izinhlobo zezibonakaliso zenza kwacaca ukuthi izinsuku zokugcina zazisondela ngokushesha, nokuthi iNkosi uJesu yayizobuya maduzane. Abefundisi nabadala babevame ukukhuluma ngala mavesi eBhayibheli kithina:“Ngakho uma noma ubani engathi kini, Bhekani, nangu uKristu, noma nanguya; ningakholwa. Ngoba kuzoba khona oKristu bamanga, nabaphrofethi bamanga, nabazoveza izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso; ukuze, uma kungenzeka, bazodukisa ngisho nalabo abakhethiweyo” (Mathewu 24:23-24). Futhi ngokuqinisa, bakhuluma ngokuthi bazovela kanjani ezinsukwini zokugcina oKristu angamanga amanga, babesitshela ukuthi nakanjani akufanele silalele abantu esingabazi lapho beshumayela, futhi baze bathi ngaphandle kwalabo abasebandleni lethu, amakholwa kwamanye amahlelo nezinkolo ayengalungile, ukuthi kufanele siqiniseke ukuthi sihlukanisa ngokucophelela kulokhu ukuze singazivumeli ukukhohliswa bese sihamba endleleni engalungile. Njengoba ngangivame ukuzwa abefundisi beshumayela ngale ndlela ngazitshela ukuthi: Angikwazi ukuphambuka endleleni kule nkathi ebaluleke kakhulu yokufika kweNkosi osekuseduze, kumele ngiqiniseke ukuthi ngigcine ukholo lwami eNkosini.

Ngolunye usuku phakathi noSepthember, 2016, ngathola ucingo olungalindelekile olwaluvela kuDade uZhu. Udade uZhu wayesebe yikholwa isikhathi eside futhi enguthungathi weqiniso okhuthele ebandleni lethu, futhi sasilokhu sizwana naye, ngakho ngajabula kakhulu ukuthola ucingo oluvela kuye. Ngalalela njengoba uDade uZhu wayekhuluma nami ngokuthakazelisayo: “Mfowethu, nginezindaba ezinhle engizokutshela zona, iNkosi uJesu isibuyile, unguNkulunkulu uSomandla! Ngalesi sikhathi uNkulunkulu usesimweni somuntu ukuba enze umsebenzi wokwahlulela umuntu, ukuhlanza umuntu nokusindisa umuntu...” Ngamangala ngandlela thize kakhulu ukuzwa la mazwi, futhi ngacabanga ngathi: “Ingabe uDade uZhu usabambelele endleleni yeNkosi? Ingabe useguqukele kwenye inkolo? Wayengaba kanjani yisiwula kangaka? Ingani abafundisi nabadala bebelokhu begcizelela kaningi ukuthi oKristu bamanga bazovela ezinsukwini zokugcina? Kungani engazange alalele? Uma sikholwa yinto engalungile kule nkathi ebaluleke kangaka lapho iNkosi seyizofika maduze, ngeke kube senze ukholo lwethu ngokuyize kuyo yonke le minyaka eminingi edlule?” lapho ngicabanga ngalokhu ngambuza uDade uZhu ngokwesaba: “Dadewethu, eBhayibhelini kuthi ezinsukwini zokugcina kuyoba khona abamanga ... ” kodwa ngaphandle kokulinda ukuba ngiqedele ukukhuluma, uDade uZhu wanginqamula: “Mfowethu, iNkosi uJesu yasixwayisa ukuba ‘Singahluleli,’ futhi akumele sahlulele njengokuthanda kwethu, ukuze singalahlwa nguNkulunkulu.” Isexwayiso sikadade sangenza ngacabanga ngala mazwi eNkosi: “Ningahluleli, futhi ngeke nahlulelwe: ningalahli, futhi ngeke nilahlwe” ( Luk 6:37). Angibange ngisalokotha ngahlulele emva kwalokho. Noma kunjalo, lapho sibhekene nesehlakalo esikhulu kangaka njengokubuya kweNkosi, mina noDade uZhu sasinemibono yethu, futhi sobabili sasifuna ukubonisana, ngakho sashintshana sizama ukubeka amaphuzu ethu, kodwa ekugcineni akekho owakwazi ukubonisa omunye.

Kwaphela isikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga emva kwalokhu uDade uZhu elokhu engishayela ucingo ukuze asabalalise ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu uSomandla, kodwa ngangilokhu ngenqaba ukulamukela, futhi ngangilokhu ngimnxusa ukuba abuye futhi aqhubeke nokukholwa eNkosini. Kamuva, ngabona ukuthi wayeqinile kakhulu enkolweni yakhe kuNkulunkulu uSomandla, ukuthi wayengeke akwazi nokuntenga nakancane okholweni lwakhe, ngakho-ke kwadingeka ngiyeke, futhi ngiyeke ukuzama ukumbonisa. Ngathi: “Kusukela manje, ngisazokholwa eNkosini yami uJesu futhi nawe ungakholwa kuNkulunkulu wakho uSomandla, futhi akekho ozophazamisa omunye!” Ngemva kwalokho, noma nini lapho uDade uZhu engishayela ucingo enginika ubufakazi bomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina, ngangiye ngifune izaba zokumgwema. Ngaqhubeka ngenqaba ukwamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina, kodwa lokhu akuzange kumvimbele ukuba abe elokhu engivangela.

Ngokunye ukusa ngoNovemba ngemva nje kuka-5 ekuseni, ngaphambi kokukhanya kwelanga, kwangqongqoza othile emnyango kwami. Ngavula umnyango ngabona uDade uZhu, futhi ehamba nomunye umzalwane nodade. Lapho ngibona uDade uZhu ngazizwa nginokuphikisana ngaphakathi. Ngacabanga ngathi: “Angizange ngikuchazele lokhu? Ungahamba kanjani ibanga elide kangaka uze ekhaya lami? Kungakhathaleki ukuthi uthini angiyikukholelwa kukho.” Naphezu kweminyaka eminingi yokwazana njengamalungu ebandla, ngakhuluma amazwi angathandeki kubo futhi ngangabavumela ukuba bangene. Ngenkathi uDade uZhu ebona ukuthi ngizimisele kakhulu endleleni yami, ebusweni wabonakala edangele futhi ngezwi elinokuhilwa ngumzwelo wathi kimi: “Mfowethu, isizathu esenze ngize ngizosabalalisa ivangeli lombuso kuwe yingoba ngishukunyiswe nguMoya oNgcwele. Uma bekungeve kungenxa yothando lukaNkulunkulu, bengingeke ngikwazi ukubeka imizwa yami eceleni bese ngilokhu ngisabalalisa ivangeli kuwe. Mfowethu, iNkosi uJesu isibuyile ngempela. Njengamanje uMoya oNgcwele usebenza kulabo asebamukele umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu. Uma bekungewona umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, ubani obengaba nokukholwa nokuzikhandla okunjalo ukuba eze azosabalalisa ivangeli kuwe? Nawe ubonile isimo sasebandleni samanje, abafowethu nodadewethu bahlala beboshwe yisono, bengenamandla okuhlukana naso. UNkulunkulu ufikile kulesi sikhathi ukuveza amazwi ukuze ahlulele umuntu, futhi afeze umsebenzi wokusisusa isono nokusihlanza. Uma siphuthelwa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina ngeke sibe nelinye ithuba lokuthola insindiso kaNkulunkulu.” Amagama ozwelo kadadewethu angishukumisa futhi athambisa inhliziyo yami. Ikakhulukazi, lapho ekhuluma ngesimo sasebandleni, izimo engangizibonile ebandleni zangibuyela engqondweni yami zilandelana: Ebandleni lokuqala engangikhonza kulo, abefundisi babesho okunye kodwa benze okunye, futhi noma ngubani owayenikele ngemali enkulu kunabo bonke wayamukelwa yilaba bafundisi ngobuso obomamathekayo, ubani owayengazikhathaza ngokuthi benzani, kodwa noma ubani owayenganikeli imali eningi wayenganakwa futhi ebukelwa phansi. Ngempela ngangingasakwazi ukubekezelela ukubona lokhu kwenzeka, ngakho ngaya ebandleni lesibili. Kuleli bandla ngabona okwakufanele basebenzisane bebandlululana, benezingxabano ezidalwa ngumhawu, benza amaqembuqembu, futhi bengahluke ngalutho kubantu bezwe. Lokhu kwangenza ngadumala. Ekuqaleni ngangifuna ukuthuthela kwelinye futhi ibandla, kodwa umfowethu othile wangitshela ukuthi useshintshashintshe amabandla amaningi, futhi kungakhathaleki ukuthi wayeya kuphi kwakulokhu kunencithakalo nobumnyama obufanayo.... Njengoba ngicabanga ngalokhu ngacabanga futhi nangezindlela ezihlukahlukene nami engizibonisile ngenkathi ngiphila esonweni, nokwangenza nami ngantengantenga enhliziyweni yami: Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ngempela iNkosi uJesu isibuyile enyameni ukufeza umsebenzi wokuqeda isono? Ngalesi sikhathi uDade uZhu waqhubeka nokukhuluma: “Mayelana nokuthi uNkulunkulu uSomandla uyiNkosi ebuyile noma cha, konke okudingeka ukwenze ukuze ukwazi lokhu ukuthi ufunde izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla. Ngesikhathi iNkosi uJesu ifika ukufeza umsebenzi wayo, abafundi bayo bayilandela ngoba babona ngezwi Layo nangomsebenzi Wayo ukuthi yayinguMesiya ozayo. Namuhla, ekunqumeni ukuthi uNkulunkulu uSomandla uyiNkosi uJesu ebonakala ukuzofeza umsebenzi Wayo, kumele futhi sinqume lokhu ngomsebenzi kanye nezwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla. Uma, emva kokufunda wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla, usakholwa ukuthi akayona iNkosi ebuyile lapho-ke angiyikuphoqa lutho kuwe, futhi ngizoyeka ukusabalalisa ivangeli kuwena, ngoba uNkulunkulu akakaze aphoqelele muntu ukuba amukele ivangeli.”

Ngemva kokuzwa uDade uZhu esho lokhu ngathandabuza okwesikhashana, ngazicabangela ngathi: Angivele ngiwafunde ngibone ukuthi yimaphi amaqiniso akhulunywe emazwini kaNkulunkulu uSomandla enze ukuba uDade uZhu akholelwe ngokuqinile kulokhu. Ngaso leso sikhathi, ngavula umnyango ngavumela uDade uZhu nabo bonke bangene ekhaya lami. UDade uZhu wethula abanye, okwakungoDade uZhang Qing noMfoweth uLi Kaiming weBandla likaNkulunkulu uSomandla. UDade uZhu wathi: “Mfowethu uChuanyang, kusuka ngamukela umsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina zikaNkulunkulu uSomandla, sekuyizinyanga ezimbalwa. Ngiye eBandleni likaNkulunkulu uSomandla ukuba ngizizwele ngokwami. Ngibambe iqhaza empilweni yabo yasebandleni. Ngokuhlangenwe nakho siqu futhi ngokuphenya ngokucophelela, ngibone ukuthi iBandla likaNkulunkulu uSomandla ngempela liyibandla elinomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, liyibandla langempela, futhi livela kuNkulunkulu. Sibe ngamalungu ebandla ndawonye iminyaka eminingi, futhi njengesisebenzi esisebenza ebandleni kufanele wazi kangcono kunami ngalokho okwenzeka kulo manje. UMoya oNgcwele wayeka ukusebenza ebandleni lethu kudala, futhi lokhu kuyiqiniso wonke umuntu aselamukele. Abefundisi abasakwazi ukushumayela izintshumayelo ezisinikeza impilo, bakhuluma kuphela ngendlela yokuhlasela nokuqapha amanye amabandla, basitshele ukuthi kumele sigcine igama leNkosi, ukuthi siyosindiswa uma singashiyi ibandla, kodwa ngempela lokhu abakwenzayo akunasisekelo ezwini leNkosi. Benza ngale ndlela ukuze bavikele isikhundla sabo futhi baqhubeke nemisebenzi yabo, futhi lokhu abakwenzeli izimpilo zethu. Ukuba bezizwa benesibopho ngempilo yethu khona-ke kufanele bathathe isinyathelo ngokusifunisa ibandla lapho uMoya oNgcwele esebenza khona, kunokuthi sihlale sinenkani ebandleni lapho uMoya oNgcwele ayeka kudala ukusebenza khona, ukuba silindele kuphela ukufa kwethu ngendlala noma ukukhathala.” Ngemva kokuzwa lokhu ngacabanga ngathi: “Amazwi kaDade uZhu akhuluma into ngempela eyenzekayo, ibandla lanamuhla alinawo umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, konke abefundisi nabadala abakwenzayo ngempela akukhona ukucabangela izimpilo zamakholwa, futhi njengoba nginamathele kuleli bandla eminyakeni edlule ngangiya ngokuya ngizwa ukuthi iNkosi ayikho nathi. Kade ngazizwa ngibunile futhi nginobumnyama emoyeni wami, kungekho indawo engangingaya kuyona.” Ngimuzwa ekhuluma ngale ndlela enengqondo futhi ehlelekile, ngezwa sengathi ngangingeke ngisenqaba ukuvakashelwa yibo.

Ngalesi sikhathi, uMfowetha uLiu owayeze naye wathi, “Mfowethu, isizathu sokuthi izwe lenkolo libe yincithakalo kangaka yingoba uNkulunkulu ufikile ukwenza umsebenzi omusha, futhi umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele usuqhubekele phambili, kodwa abakawufici umsebenzi omusha uNkulunkulu awenzayo. Isizathu esikhulu nakakhulu salokhu ukuthi abefundisi nabadala abayilalelanga imiyalo yeNkosi noma benze amazwi eNkosi, kodwa esikhundleni salokho, bahole amakholwa ukuba alandele imikhuba emibi yezwe, ngisho nokuphikisa nokulahla lo msebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu. Kunjengalapho iNkosi uJesu yayiza ukuzofeza umsebenzi Wayo, ithempeli lase liphenduke indawo lapho izinkomo, izimvu namajuba kwakuthengiswa khona futhi kushintshiswana ngemali. Abaphristi baphula imithetho futhi banikela izilwane ezinezisihla njengemihlatshelo ukuze bakhohlise uNkulunkulu, abaFarisi babefisa ingcebo futhi bejabulela imihlomulo yezikhundla zabo, futhi nezinye izono zazenziwa. Ngisho nalabo ababesebenzela uNkulunkulu babephila esonweni, ngaphandle kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo. Lokhu kwakwanele ukukhombisa ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele wayengasasebenzi ethempelini, umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele wawusuqhubekele phambili, futhi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu eNkathini Yomthetho wawusuphelile. INkosi uJesu yeza ukuzokwenza umsebenzi wokuhlenga phezu kwesisekelo somsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho, futhi uMoya oNgcwele wayengasasebenzi kulabo abagcina igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu futhi benamathele kakhulu emithethweni, futhi esikhundleni salokho, uMoya oNgcwele wayesedlulisele umsebenzi Wakhe kulabo abamukela umsebenzi omusha weNkosi uJesu. Njengoba ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu babungasekho ethempelini, kwaba yincithakalo ngokwengeziwe, kwaze kwathi ekugcineni kwaba umhume wabaphangi namasela. Kodwa abafundi beNkosi uJesu bathola insindiso yeNkosi, basebenzisa izimfundiso zeNkosi, baba nokholo namandla okulandela iNkosi, bashiya imizi yabo nemisebenzi yabo ukuze bafakazele futhi basabalalise ivangeli leNkosi, futhi babengesabi ukushushiswa nokuhlupheka. Ingabe konke lokho kwakungeyona imiphumela yomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele? Ngendlela efanayo, namuhla ukubuya kweNkosi kubonisa ukuthi inkathi endala isidlulile futhi sekuqale inkathi entsha. UMoya oNgcwele kade wayeka ukusebenza emabandleni eNkathi Yomusa; Kunalokho useqale ukusebenza kulabo abamukele umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kugcwalisa isiphrofetho eBhayibhelini: ‘Futhi ngigodle imvula kini, lapho kusasele izinyanga ezintathu phambi kokuvuna: futhi ngenze ukuthi line edolobheni elilodwa, futhi ngenza ukuthi lingani kwelinye idolobha: lana esiqeshini esisodwa, futhi isiqephu elingananga kuso sabuna’ (u-Amose 4:7). ‘Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, engizothumela ngazo indlala ezweni, hhayi indlala yesinkwa, noma ukomela amanzi, kodwa eyokuzwa amazwi kaJehova’ (u-Amose 8:11). UNkulunkulu uSomandla uphinde athi: ‘UNkulunkulu uyofeza leli qiniso: Uyokwenza ukuthi bonke abantu emhlabeni wonke beze phambi Kwakhe, futhi bakhonze uNkulunkulu emhlabeni, futhi omunye umsebenzi Wakhe kwezinye izindawo uyophela, futhi abantu bayophoqeleka ukuba bafune indlela yeqiniso. Kuyoba njengakuJosefa: Bonke babeya kuye ukuze bathole ukudla, futhi bamkhothamele, ngoba wayenezinto ezidliwayo. Ukuze bagweme indlala abantu bazophoqeleka ukuba bafune indlela yeqiniso. Wonke umphakathi wamakholwa ubhekene nendlala enzima, futhi uNkulunkulu wanamuhla kuphela ongumthombo wamanzi okuphila, umthombo ogeleza njalo owenzelwe ukuba abantu bajabule, futhi abantu bazoza bancike Kuye’ (‘Umbuso Weminyaka Eyinkulungwane Usufikile’ kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). ‘Yonke imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke jikelele igxile kuleli qembu labantu. Unikele wonke amandla Akhe kini wakudela konke ngenxa yenu; uphinde wabuyisa yonke imisebenzi kaMoya emhlabeni wonke wayinikeza nina. Kungakho ngithi, ninenhlanhla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ususe inkazimulo Yakhe ku-Israyeli, abantu Bakhe abakhethile, wayiletha kini, ukuze afeze inhloso yohlelo Lwakhe ngokugcwele ngani qembu labantu. Ngakho-ke, niyilabo abazothola ifa likaNkulunkulu, futhi ngaphezulu niyizindlalifa zenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu’ (‘Ngabe Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu Ulula Njengoba Umuntu Ecabanga?’ kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). ‘Ngoba labo abakwezenkolo bayehluleka ukwamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu omusha, futhi babambelela emsebenzini wakudala, ngakho uNkulunkulu ubalahlile labo bantu, futhi wenza umsebenzi Wakhe omusha kubantu abamukela lo msebenzi omusha. Laba ngabantu abasebenzisana nomsebenzi Wakhe omusha, futhi umsebenzi wokuphatha ungafezeka ngale ndlela kuphela’ (‘Umsebenzi KaNkulunkulu Nokwenza Komuntu’ kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). Kusukela kula mazwi kaNkulunkulu siyabona ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uyeke ukusebenza amabandleni eNkathi Yomusa, ngakho-ke kungakhathaleki ukuthi abantu bazama kangakanani noma yiziphi izindlela ezakhiwe ngumuntu abazisebenzisayo ukuvuselela amabandla, ngeke kusize ngalutho. IBandla LamaKhatolika namahlelo amaPhrothestani kuyefana, imimoya yamakholwa yawo yomile futhi ilambile, ukholo lwabo nothando lwabo luyaphola kancane kancane, abakwazi ukunamathela ezimfundisweni zeNkosi, futhi abaningi babo balandela imikhuba emibi yezwe, ukufuna ingcebo nokufisa izinto zezwe. Amabandla asephenduke izindawo zencithakalo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abafowethu nodadewethu eBandleni LikaNkulunkulu uSomandla bangabantu abashiye ezinkolweni nasemahlelweni ehlukahlukene futhi abavela emisebenzini ehlukahlukene ukwamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Bayizintombi ezihlakaniphileyo abathe, lapho bezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu, babuyela phambi kwesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi. Bamukela amanzi aphilayo okuphila aphuma esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, belusiwe futhi baholwa nguNkulunkulu uqobo, futhi basabalalisa futhi bafakaza ngevangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu benhliziyonye. Babekezelela ukuhlekwa usulu nokunyundela yizwe, babekezelela ukuxhashazwa nokulahlwa okuvela kubaholi bamahlelo nezinkolo ezahlukahlukene, baze bashaywe nokushaywa, futhi babekezelele ukuboshwa, behlushwa emakhaya abo futhi bamukwe nempahla yabo, nokuhlukunyezwa kabi nokuboshiwa nguhulumeni weCCP. Noma kunjalo, banokholo, banamandla, banothando, futhi banamathele futhi abapheli amandla njengoba belandela uNkulunkulu uSomandla futhi befakaza emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Akukhona ngamandla abo ukuthi bakwazi ukwenza kanjalo. Konke lokhu kuyimiphumela etholakala ngomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele! Ngaphezu kwalokho, intando kaNkulunkulu kufanele ifunwe ekuthumeleni kwakhe indlala ezweni lenkolo, ngoba injongo Yakhe ngokwenza kanjalo ukucindezela labo abakholwa ngempela kuNkulunkulu futhi abomele iqiniso ukuba baphume ezinkolweni zabo, baphume ekukhohlisweni nasekulawuleni ngomphikukristu ezinkolweni zabo, futhi bahambe ezinkolweni zabo bese befuna izinyathelo nokubukeka kukaNkulunkulu, bamukele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokwahlulela ezinsukwini zokugcina, futhi bahlanzwe baphinde bapheleliswe nguNkulunkulu, ngenkathi beshiya kanyekanye lawo makholwa amanga ezinkolweni zawo futhi bawadalule futhi bewaqeda, lawo aafuna isinkwa ukuze anelise indlala futhi angakholwa kuNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yeqiniso futhi esikhundleni salokho akhonza futhi alandele abantu. Ngale ndlela abantu bazobekwa ngokwezigaba zabo. Lokhu akusiko yini ukuhlakanipha nobuninimandla onke bukaNkulunkulu?”

Ukulalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye nokuhlanganyela kwalo mzalwane kwangenza ngezwa ukuthi lokhu kwakungokoqobo, nokuthi kuhambisana ngokuphelele neqiniso. Ngazizwa sengathi ngivuswe ephusheni, futhi ngabona umthombo wencithakalo yamabandla ahlukahlukene. Ngaphambili ngangazi nje kuphela ukuthi iNkosi uJesu yaxosha bonke labo ababethenga nababethengisa ethempelini, yachitha amatafula abaguquleli bemali nezihlalo zalabo ababethengisa amajuba, ithi babephendule ithempeli laba ngumhume wamasela, kodwa ngangingazi isizathu esasiholela ekutheni ithempeli liphenduke umhume wamasela. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho ngathola khona ukwazi ukuthi kwakungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu wayesebenza umsebenzi omusha, futhi umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele wawusuqhubekele phambili, owawuqhutshwa kulabo ababe sebamukele umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke labo abangazange balandele umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu balahlekelwa umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele futhi balahlekelwa ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngakho benza izinto ezaphula umthetho ethempelini, baliphendula umhume wamasela. Njengoba sengazi ukuthi yilokho okwenzeka, ngiyabona ukuthi isizathu sokuthi amabandla anamuhla abe yile ncithakalo yisizathu esifanayo nesethempeli ngalesiya sikhathi! Kulo mzuzu ngagcina ngibona indlela engangingazange nginake ngayo. Nakuba ngase ngikubonile ukuthi kusukela kubefundisi nabadala kuya kubazalwane abajwayelekile bonke babeboshwe yisono, nokuthi ibandla lalichichima ukungabi namthetho nobubi, ngangingakaze ngifune intando kaNkulunkulu, futhi angizange ngifune umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Ngangingazange ngiqaphele ukulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu, futhi ngenxa yalokho, ngase ngikhishiwe umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele ngingazi nokwazi. Ngabona ukuthi kwakudingeka ngifunde ngokucophelela izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla. Ngalolo suku, ngaphambi kokuba uDade uZhu nabo bonke bahambe sahlela isikhathi sokuphinde babuye futhi bazohlanganyela nami, futhi bangishiya nekhophi ye-Ukuvulwa Komqulu YiWundlu, engangikujabulela kakhulu ukuyithola.

Kamuva, lapho ngifunda i-Ukuvulwa Komqulu YiWundlu, incwadi yezwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla, ngabona ukuthi izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla lambula izimfihlakalo eziningi, njengezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi owenziwa nguNkulunkulu ukusindisa isintu, umsebenzi wokwahlulela Kwakhe ezinsukwini zokugcina, ubuhle bombuso Wakhe, njll, okwanginika ukuqonda okujulile umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Umoya wami owomileyo wazizwa ukholiwe, futhi lapho ngiqhubeka nokufunda le ncwadi ngazizwa ngiyithanda kakhulu. Ngangikade ngivame ukuvuka ngo-5:30 ekuseni, kodwa kusukela ngathola ikhophi ye-Ukuvulwa Komqulu YiWundlu, ngaqala ukuvuka ngo-4:30 ukuze ngifunde izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla, futhi ngangiye ngizindle ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla, okwenza inhliziyo yami izizwe yenelisekile. Ngolunye usuku ekuseni, ngenkathi ngifunda isahluko esithi “Ingabe Uyikholwa LikaNkulunkulu Leqiniso?” ngathinteka ngempela enhliziyweni yami. UNkulunkulu uSomandla unguNkulunkulu ohlola izinhliziyo zabantu, futhi wambulile imvelo yethu embi esingasoze siyazi thina ngokwethu. Lokho kwangisiza ukuba ngibone isimo sangempela sokukhohlakaliswa kwami nguSathane. Lokhu kwakuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi lapho ngifunda la mazwi kaSomandla: “Noma kuyini-ke, ngithi bonke labo abangalihloniphi iqiniso bonke bangabangakholwa futhi namambuka eqiniso. Abantu abanjalo abasoze bamukelwe uKristu. … Kufanele qonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu akayena owomhlaba noma owomuntu oyedwa, kodwa owabo bonke labo abakholwa Kuye ngeqiniso, bonke abamkhonzayo, nabo bonke abazinikele futhi abathembekile Kuye.” Ngenkathi ngicabanga ngalawa mazwi, ngangilokhu ngizibuza: Ingabe ngingumuntu okholwa ngempela kuNkulunkulu? Ingabe iqiniso yilokho engikwazisayo? Yini engiyazisile kule minyaka edlule njengoba ngikholwa kuNkulunkulu? Ngacabanga ukuthi ngangifana kanjani neningi labazalwane nodadewethu: Ngaphandle ngangifunda iBhayibheli futhi ngihambela imihlangano, kodwa nganginganaki ukubhekana nokwenza izwi leNkosi; kunalokho nganginake izintshumayelo ezazishunyayelwa ngabafundisi, nezincwadi eziseBhayibhelini. Ngabeka ukholo lwami olwazini lweBhayibheli kanye nasezimfundisweni zenkolo ezazishunyayelwa yilaba bafundisi. Angikaze ngicabange ngokuthi ingabe lokhu ababekushumayela empeleni kwakunalo yini iqiniso noma cha, noma ngabe kwakuhambisana yini nentando yeNkosi, futhi ngangingasebenzisi neze amazwi eNkosi ukuhlola nokulinganisa lokho ababekusho. Ngangikholwa noma yini ababeyishumayela. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngabona: Ngangingumuntu oyimpumputhe ngempela futhi ngingazi ukuthi ngangithanda abantu ngendlela ewubumpumputhe! Ngacabanga emuva ezintshumayelweni zalaba bafundisi nabadala. Kwakuyizintshumayelo ezikhuluma ngokunikela noma eziphathelene nokuziqapha kwamanye amabandla nokuvala ngci ibandla lethu, noma babevele baxoxe ngezinto zakudala okwakukade kukhulunywa kuyo yonke le minyaka. Kwakungekho ukukhanyiseleka okusha, kungekho kucaciselwa okusha, babengenalo noluncu ababesihlinzeka ngalo, futhi babengakwazi nokuxazulula inkinga yemimoya yethu eyomile, futhi ngokuqinisekile babengakwazi ukuxazulula inkinga yebandla elisesimweni sencithakalo. Lokhu kwaholela ekutheni abafowethu nodadewethu bahambele imihlangano njengokugcina icala nje. Ngesikhathi imihlangano iqhubeka abanye babezixoxela, abanye bazunywe ubuthongo, abanye bazidlalele kumafoni abo .... Ngangihlala kulolu hlobo lwebandla elimnyama nelinencithakalo, kodwa angizange ngifune intando kaNkulunkulu, futhi ngangingazi ukuthi ngifune umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Empeleni ngangingeyena umuntu owayefuna iqiniso noma owayekholwa ngokweqiniso kuNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu uSomandla uthi: “Abangalihloniphi iqiniso bonke bangabangakholwa futhi namambuka eqiniso.” “Kufanele qonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu akayena owomhlaba noma owomuntu oyedwa, kodwa owabo bonke labo abakholwa Kuye ngeqiniso, bonke abamkhonzayo.” La mazwi ayeyiqiniso kakhulu, futhi angenza ngafikelwa umcabango wamazwi eNkosi uJesu: “Mina ngiyindlela, iqiniso nokuphila” (Johane 14:6). Ngaqonda ukuthi: UNkulunkulu uyiqiniso, uNkulunkulu wenza umsebenzi Wakhe ukuze anike umuntu iqiniso, indlela nokuphila, futhi abantu abakholwa ngokweqiniso kuNkulunkulu bayanaka ukuba bafune futhi bathole iqiniso. Njengokholwa kuNkulunkulu, angizange nginakekele ukufuna iqiniso, pho-ke ingabe ngangingeyena yini oyisiwula ekukholweni kwami? Uma le kwakuyindlela engikholwa ngayo kuNkulunkulu, pho ngangingathola kanjani ukugunyazwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu? Amazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla angazisa futhi angihlomulisa kakhulu! Lapho ngifunda izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla, kwakungale nkathi ngizizwa ngilidinga kakhulu ngezindlela eziningi kangaka. Ngenxa yalokho, ngaphandle uma kwakudingeka ngisebenze, ngangichitha sonke isikhathi sami sangasese ngifunda izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla. Enhliziyweni yami ngangiqinisekile ukuthi lena yiyo indlela yeqiniso. Kodwa ngangisazizwa ngiphicekile ngenxa yala mazwi ashiwo yiNkosi uJesu: “Ngakho uma noma ubani engathi kini, Bhekani, nangu uKristu, noma nanguya; ningakholwa. Ngoba kuzoba khona oKristu bamanga, nabaphrofethi bamanga, nabazoveza izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso; ukuze, uma kungenzeka, bazodukisa ngisho nalabo abakhethiweyo” (Mathewu 24:23-24). Ngangingazi ukuthi kwakuyini incazelo yawo, ngakho ngakhetha ukuyifuna lapho uDade uZhu nabanye bephinda befika.

UDade Zhu nabo bonke abanye beza endlini yami ngesikhathi esasisihlelile, ngase ngithi kuDade uZhang: “Kulezi zinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule ngifunde okuningi ezwini likaNkulunkulu uSomandla, futhi nginomuzwa wokuthi umusho ngamunye wamazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla uyiqiniso, nokuthi uyilokho engikudingayo ngempela. Ngaphambi kwalokho, uDade uZhu wayezame ephindelela ukungimema ukuba ngibheke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla, kodwa njengoba abefundisi babeshumayele ngokuthi amaKristu amanga ayezobonakala ezinsukwini zokugcina ukuze adukise abantu, nganqaba ukubheka indlela yeqiniso, futhi manje ngiyazisola ngempela ngalokho. Noma kunjalo, lokhu kudideka engqondweni yami akukasombululeki, ngakho-ke ngifuna ukufuna ukuhlanganyela. INkosi uJesu yathi: ‘Ngakho uma noma ubani engathi kini, Bhekani, nangu uKristu, noma nanguya; ningakholwa. Ngoba kuzoba khona oKristu bamanga, nabaphrofethi bamanga, nabazoveza izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso; ukuze, uma kungenzeka, bazodukisa ngisho nalabo abakhethiweyo’(Mathewu 24:23-24). Niwaqonda kanjani la magama?”

UDade uZhang wathi: “Makabongwe uNkulunkulu! Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angasihola kulokhu kuhlanganyela! Maqondana nombuzo umzalwane wethu awubuzile, okokuqala kumele siqonde injongo nomqondo iNkosi uJesu ayenakho lapho esho la mazwi. INkosi uJesu yasitshela ukuthi lapho ibuya iyokuba yinyama futhi njengoKristu, njengeNdodana yomuntu, futhi kulesi sigaba iNkosi yathi oKristu bamanga babezovela futhi, bebonisa izimpawu nezimangaliso ukuze badukise abantu. Okusho ukuthi, esikhathini esizayo lapho uNkulunkulu ebonakala enyameni, labo Kristu bamanga nabo bazovela. Kulokhu sibona ukuthi iNkosi yasho la mazwi ukuze isitshele ukuthi kumele sikwazi ukuhlukanisa labo Kristu bamanga ukuze singakhohliswa yibo, kwakungekona ukuthi sihlale sikhiye iminyango yethu futhi senqabe ukulalela noma ngubani osabalalisa izindaba ezinhle zokufika kweNkosi. Kungaba yiphutha ukwenza kanjalo, futhi kungaba ukungaqondi nhlobo inhloso yeNkosi. INkosi uJesu seyivele iphrofethile: ‘Phakathi kwamabili kwezwakala izwi elikhulu, Bheka, kuza umkhwenyana; phumani niyomhlangabeza’ (Mathewu 25:6). ‘Bheka, ngime emnyango, ngingqongqotha: uma kukhona umuntu olizwayo izwi lami, avule umnyango, ngizongena kuye, futhi ngidle naye, naye futhi adle nami’ (IsAmbulo 3:20). ‘Izimvu zami zizwa izwi lami, futhi ngiyazazi, ziyangilandela’ (Johane 10:27). Amazwi eNkosi akwenza kucace ukuthi uma iNkosi ibuya, iyosebenzisa iphimbo Layo ukubiza izimvu zikaNkulunkulu, futhi ngephimbo Layo izimvu zikaNkulunkulu ziyoyizwa futhi zibuyele Kuyo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi, ukuthi sizokwazi noma cha ukuhlangabeza iNkosi lapho ibuya kuncike ekutheni siyakwazi yini ukuzwa iphimbo likaNkulunkulu noma cha. Uma singenzi umzamo wokulalela iphimbo likaNkulunkulu, futhi senqaba njalo labo abasabalalisa ivangeli lokubuya kweNkosi, ngabe lokhu akusho ukuthi siyoyivalela kalula iNkosi siyishiye ngaphandle? Kusuka emazwini eNkosi siyabona ukuthi isici esihlukanisayo oKristu bamanga ukusebenzisa izibonakaliso nokwenza izimangaliso. Ngokulingisa umsebenzi iNkosi uJesu ewenzile esikhathini esidlule, basebenzisa izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, njengokuphulukisa abagulayo nokukhipha amadimoni, ukukhohlisa umuntu. Kodwa-ke, oKristu bamanga bangumfanekiso wemimoya emibi, ngakho-ke kungakhathaleki ukuthi yiziphi izibonakaliso abazenzayo, abakwazi ukuveza iqiniso. Lokhu akunakuphikiswa. Amazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla enza ukuvezwa nengqikithi yoKristu bamanga kucace bha. Ake sibuke amavesi ambalwa avela ezwini likaNkulunkulu uSomandla futhi uzobe usuyaqonda. UNkulunkulu uSomandla wathi: ‘Uma ezinsukwini zokugcina “UNkulunkulu” ofana nokubonakala kukaJesu, lowo owaphulukisa abagulayo, waxosha amadimoni futhi owabethelwa ngenxa yomuntu, “lowo Nkulunkulu,” nakuba efana nalowo ochazwa eBhayibhelini futhi kulula kumuntu ukuba amamukele, ubengeke, empeleni abe inyama egqokwe nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, kodwa egqokwe ngumoya omubi. Ngoba kuyisimiso somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukungalokothi aphinde lokho asekufezile. Ngakho, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wesibili osesimweni somuntu uhlukile kulowo wokuqala’ (‘Ingqikithi Yenyama Ehlalwe UNkulunkulu’ kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). ‘Uma, njengamanje, kungavela umuntu okwazi ukwenza izimpawu nezimangaliso, futhi ekwazi ukukhipha amadimoni, futhi asindise abagulayo, futhi enze izimpawu eziningi, futhi uma lo muntu ethi ungukubuya kukaJesu, ngabe lokhu kuyinkohliso yemimoya emibi, kanye nokulingisa kwakhe uJesu. Khumbula lokhu! UNkulunkulu akawuphindi umsebenzi owodwa. … Uma, ngezinsuku zokugcina, uNkulunkulu wayesenza izimpawu nezimangaliso, futhi esakhipha amadimoni futhi asindise abagulayo—ukuba ubenza njengoJesu uqobo—uNkulunkulu ubengabe uphinda umsebenzi ofanayo, futhi umsebenzi kaJesu ubungeke ube nokubaluleka nosizo. Ngakho uNkulunkulu wenza isigaba esisodwa somsebenzi kuzo zonke izinkathi. Uma isigaba somsebenzi wakhe sesiphelile, silingiswa yimimoya emibi ngokushesha emuva kwalokho, futhi emuva kokuthi uSathane eqalise ukulandela uNkulunkulu eduzane, uNkulunkulu uguqukela kwenye indlela; uma uNkulunkulu eseqedile isigaba somsebenzi wakhe, ulingiswa imimoya emibi. Kufanele ucacelwe yilezi zinto’ (‘Ukwazi Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu Namhlanje’ kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). Amazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla akwenza kucace ukuthi oKristu bamanga bayimimoya emibi ezenza uKristu. Yize noma bezibiza ngoNkulunkulu, abanalo nelincane iqiniso futhi ngokuqinisekile abakwazi ukufeza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, njengoba bengenayo ingqikithi kaKristu. Bakwazi nje kuphela ukulandela ezithendeni zikaNkulunkulu ukulingisa umsebenzi iNkosi uJesu eseyiwenzile kakade, ukuze bakhohlise abantu. OKristu bamanga angeke bakwazi ukuletha iqiniso noma indlela entsha yokwenza kubantu. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi yonke imikhiqizo engombombayi kuleli zwe yenziwa ngokukopisha imikhiqizo yangempela. OKristu bamanga nabo bayafana, baphulukisa abagulayo futhi bakhiphe amadimoni bese benza izimangaliso nje ezingatheni ukuze bakhohlise abantu ngokukopisha umsebenzi owenziwe yiNkosi uJesu, kodwa abasoze oKristu bamanga benza izimangaliso ezinjengokuvusa abafileyo nokupha abantu abangu-5 000 ukudla ngolofu bezinkwa ezinhlanu nezinhlanzi ezimbili nje kuphela. Ngakho-ke, noma ubani ozibiza ngokuthi unguKristu, othi uyiNkosi uJesu ebuyile futhi ebonakalisa izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ephinde ephulukisa abagulayo futhi akhiphe amadimoni, laba bantu ngokuqinisekileyo bangoKristu bamanga abakhohlisa abantu. Nokho, uKristu ungukubaa sesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu uqobo, unguMoya kaNkulunkulu obonakaliswa enyameni, unobuntu obujwayelekile nobungcwele obuphelele, futhi ngokungenakuphikiswa unguNkulunkulu uqobo. UNkulunkulu uSomandla wathi: ‘UNkulunkulu waba inyama eyabizwa ngokuthi uKristu, futhi okuwuKristu okwazi ukunika abantu iqiniso elibizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu. Akukho okukhulu ngalokhu, ngoba uqukethe isiqu sikaNkulunkulu, futhi uqukethe isimo sikaNkulunkulu, kanye nobuhlakani emsebenzini Wakhe, umuntu angekuthole. Labo abazibiza ngoKristu, kepha bengakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, bangabakhohlisi. UKristu akasikho nje ukubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, kodwa inyama embethwe uNkulunkulu uphethe futhi uqedela umsebenzi Wakhe kubantu. Le nyama akusiyo leyo endawo yayo ingathathwa yinoma imuphi umuntu, kodwa yileyo engathwala umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngendlela egculisayo emhlabeni, futhi ibonakalisa isimo sikaNkulunkulu, futhi inika abantu ukuphila. Esikhathini esingatheni, labo abangoKristu bamanga bayowa, ngoba yize bethi banguKristu, akukho abanakho okuwumgogodla kaKristu. Ngakho ngithi ubuqiniso ngoKristu ngeke buchazwe umuntu, kodwa kuphendulwa futhi kunqunywe uNkulunkulu Uqobo’ (‘UKristu Wezinsuku Zokugcina Kuphela Onganika Umuntu Indlela Yokuphila Ingunaphakade’ kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni). Ngakho-ke, nguKristu kuphela ongenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngokwakhe, nguKristu kuphela ongakwazi ukuveza iqiniso, nguKristu kuphela ongakwazi ukuveza isimo sikaNkulunkulu futhi ahlinzeke aphinde aluse umuntu. Futhi nguKristu kuphela ongenza umsebenzi wokuhlenga nokusindisa isintu, Nguye kuphela ongakwazi ukuqeda inkathi endala angenise inkathi entsha. Futhi, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uhlale umusha futhi awukaze ube mdala, futhi uNkulunkulu akaphindaphindi umsebenzi ofanayo, ngakho, njalo lapho uKristu eza ukufeza umsebenzi uyohlale eletha umsebenzi omusha, eveza isimo sikaNkulunkulu nalokho anakho nayikho. Njengalapho iNkosi uJesu yeza ukuzokwenza umsebenzi, yaqeda iNkathi Yomthetho yangenisa iNkathi Yomusa, futhi yashumayela izintshumayelo ezenza abantu bavume izono zabo futhi baphenduke, futhi yafundisa abantu ukuba bathande izitha zabo futhi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuba bathobeke, babe nesineke futhi bathethelele abanye. INkosi uJesu yembula kumuntu isimo sikaNkulunkulu sothando nomusa. UNkulunkulu uSomandla ufikile ezinsukwini zokugcina, futhi ngendlela efanayo, uqede iNkathi Yomusa wase engenisa iNkathi Yombuso. Ufeza umsebenzi wokwahlulela umuntu nokusindisa umuntu ngamazwi Akhe ngesisekelo somsebenzi weNkosi uJesu wokuhlenga, usinike wonke amaqiniso esiwadingayo ukuze sihlanzwe futhi sithole insindiso, usinike indlela ebonisa ukukhipha isono kithina nokuthola insindiso, nokuveza isimo sokulunga sikaNkulunkulu, esihloniphekile nesolaka. Ngomsebenzi namagama kaNkulunkulu uSomandla, sikwazi ukubona kahle ukuthi uNkulunkulu uSomandla unguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu nokuthi unguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe obonakala phakathi kwabantu ezinsukwini zokugcina.”

Ngemva kokulalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu kanye nokuhlanganyela kwalo dade, ngaba nomuzwa wokuthi ngangivuka ephusheni, nokuthi ekugcineni ngase ngiqonda indlela yokuhlukanisa phakathi kukaKristu weqiniso noKristu bamanga. Lokhu kwangenza ngazizwa ngijabule futhi nginamahloni; ngabona ukudabukisa kwami njengomuntu owayengenalo iqiniso. Ngacabanga ukuthi kungani ngangenqaba umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Kungenxa yokuthi ngangesaba ukuthi ngingakhohliswa oKristu bamanga, ngenxa yalokho-ke ngamenqaba uKristu weqiniso njengomuntu ongadli ngoba esaba ukubindwa. Lapho iNkosi ibuya futhi ingqongqoza emnyango wami ngenqaba ukulalela iphimbo likaNkulunkulu. Ngokuphindaphindiwe ngawuvala umnyango futhi ngashiya iNkosi ingaphandle. Kodwa uNkulunkulu akabhekananga nami ngokubuka iziphambeko zami, akazange alilahle ithemba ngokungisindisa, kodwa kunalokho wanyakazisa laba bafowethu nodadewethu ukuba beze ekhaya lami ukuze basabalalise ivangeli. Ngempela uNkulunkulu akazange angishiye, uthando lukaNkulunkulu ngempela lwalulukhulu! Lapho ngicabanga ukuthi ngase nginqume ukuthi wonke umuntu owafakaza ngeNkosi ebuyile wayeshumayela uKristu wamanga ngenxa yamazwi engangiwakholwa ayevela kubafundisi, ngangilizwe ngokuyiphutha izwi leNkosi, nokuthi ngangishiye kanjani, ngalahla futhi ngamelana noNkulunkulu uSomandla, ngenkathi ngikholwa ukuthi imibono engangibambelele kuyo yayinembile, ngangizizwa sengathi engangikwenzile kwakungubuwula ngempela! Ukube angizange ngifunde izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla futhi ngilalele ukuhlanganyela kwalaba bafowethu nodadewethu mayelana nokuhlukanisa phakathi kukaKristu weqiniso noKristu bamanga, khona-ke ngabe angikakwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kukaKristu weqiniso noKristu bamanga, futhi ngabe ngikhohliswe kuphela nje ngamazwi abefundisi nabadala, futhi ngabalandela ekumelaneni kwabo nasekwenqabeni uNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela ngilahlekelwe yileli thuba elingavamile kakhulu lokuthola insindiso kaNkulunkulu. Lapho ngicabanga ngalokhu, ngatshela uDade uZhu nabanye, “Ngokulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla kanye nokuhlanganyela kwenu ngiyakwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kukaKristu weqiniso noKristu bamanga. Manje sengiqinisekile ngokuthi uNkulunkulu uSomandla uyiNkosi uJesu ebuyile, futhi ngizimisele ukwamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla ezinsukwini zokugcina.”

Emva kokuzibandakanya empilweni yasebandleni, ngabona ukuthi abafowethu nodadewethu babeqonda amaqiniso amaningi, nokuthi empeleni ngangisilele uma ngiziqhathanisa nabo. Ngazicabangela ngathi: Kufanele ngenze uDade uZhu nabanye bahlanganyele nami ngezwi likaNkulunkulu bangisize ukuze nami ngisheshe ngiliqonde iqiniso. Ngenxa yalokho ngakhuluma ngalokhu noDade uZhu, ngimcela ukuba kungenzeke na ukuthi imihlangano yokuhlanganyela ibanjelwe ekhaya lami, futhi wavuma zisuka nje. Emva kwalokhu sabuthana njalo ngeviki ukuze sifunde izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi sihlanganyele ngeqiniso. Kancane kancane ngathola ukuba nolwazi oluthe xaxa ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi ngaqonda amaqiniso amaningi. Ngangizwa enhliziyweni yami ukuthi la mazwi ayengukuvezwa kwamaqiniso. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngacabanga ngamazwi iNKosi uJesu eyayiwashilo: “Ngisenezinto eziningi engingazisho kini, kodwa ningekwazi ukuzithwala manje. Noma kunjalo, uma esefikile yena, uMoya weqiniso, uzoniholela kulo lonke iqiniso: ngoba akazukuzikhulumela, kodwa lokho azokuzwa, uzokusho: futhi uzonikhombisa okuzayo” (Johane 16:12-13). Ngazizwa nginyakaziseke nakakhulu, futhi ngabona ukuthi la mazwi kaNkulunkulu ayenzeka njengalokhu kwakuqaguliwe. Izwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla lithi: “lokho uMoya okusho emabandleni.” UNkulunkulu uSomandla uphakathi kwenqubo yokuqondisa umuntu ukuze akwazi ukuqonda futhi angene eqinisweni. Kungokwamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wezinsuku zokugcina kuphela kanye nangokwamukela amaqiniso akhulunywe nguNkulunkulu kuphela lapho khona ungahlanzwa, uthole insindiso futhi ube ngumuntu olangazelele inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu. Kwakuyizwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla elangibuyisela endlini kaNkulunkulu, elangiletha phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. Manje, nsuku zonke nginamazwi kaNkulunkulu angihlinzekayo, angiqondisayo, angilethela uxolo nenjabulo, futhi angenza ngizizwe ngiqinile futhi ngikhanyisiwe. Ngizimisele ukwenza konke engingakwenza ukufuna iqiniso kanye nokulandela uNkulunkulu uSomandla kuze kube sekugcineni. Inkazimulo yonke mayibe kuNkulunkulu uSomandla!

Isahluko 15

Umuntu yisidalwa esingazazi. Yize engazazi, kodwa abanye abantu ubazi njengentende yesandla sakhe, njengokungathi bonke badlule kuye “wabahlola” base bephasiswa nguye ngaphambi kokusho noma ukwenza okuthile, kanjalo sengathi ubakale bonke isimo sabo sengqondo. Bonke abantu banjalo. Umuntu ungene eNkathini yoMbuso namuhla, kodwa indalo yakhe ayiguquki. Usaqhubeka nokwenza ngendlela engenza ngayo phambi Kwami, kodwa uma ngingabhekile wenza “ibhizinisi” lakhe elihlukile. Uma sekuphelile lokho, uyabuya eze Kimi, kodwa, usengumuntu ohlukile, obukeka ezolile, eqoqekile, ukushaya komthambo kulungile. Akusikho lokhu okwenza umuntu anyanyise? Bangaki abantu abanobuso obubili obuhlukile, obunye phambi Kwami nobunye uma ngifulathele? Bangaki ababa njengamazinyane asanda kuzalwa phambi Kwami kodwa uma ngifulathele baba yizingwe ezilambile, bese beba njengezinyoni ezincane ezindiza kamnandi emagqumeni? Bangaki abakhombisa ukuba nenhloso nezinqumo phambi Kwami? Bangaki abeza phambi Kwami, befuna amazwi Ami bewomele futhi bewanxanele kodwa, uma ngifulathele, bayakhathala yiwo bawalahle, kungathi amazwi Ami ayabagqilaza? Izikhathi eziningi, ngibona abantu bekhohlakaliswa yisitha Sami, ngaphonsa ithawula ekubekeni ithemba Lami kubantu. Izikhathi eziningi, ngibona abantu beza phambi Kwami bekhala becela intethelelo, kodwa ngenxa yokungazihloniphi, ukuba nenkani okungalungiseki, sengivale amehlo Ami kulokhu akwenzayo ngenxa yentukuthelo, yize noma inhliziyo yakhe iqotho nezinhloso zakhe ziyiqiniso. Izikhathi eziningi, ngibona abantu benalo ithemba lokubambisana Nami, nokuthi wenza kanjani ukuthi phambi Kwami kube sengathi uyalala esifubeni Sami, enambitha imfudumalo yokumgona Kwami. Izikhathi eziningi, ngibona ubumsulwa, ukuphila, nokuthandeka kwabantu Bami abakhethiwe, enhliziyweni Yami ngiyathokoza uma ngibona lezi zinto. Abantu abazi ukuthi bangazithokozela kanjani izibusiso engibabekele zona ezandleni Zami, ngoba abazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukubusiseka noma ukuhlupheka. Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu bakude ekungifuneni ngeqiniso. Uma ngabe ibingekho into okuthiwa ikusasa, kini enimi phambi Kwami, ubani ongaba mhlophe njengeqhwa, angabi nabala njenge-jade? Ngiqinisekile uthando eninalo Ngami akuyona into engashintshaniswa ngesidlo esimnandi, noma ngezimpahla zokugqoka zezinga eliphezulu, noma ihhovisi elikhulu eliholela kahle? Noma, lungashintshaniswa nothando abanye abanalo ngawe? Ngiqinisekile, ukudlula ekulingweni angeke kwenze umuntu alahle uthando analo Ngami? Ngiqinisekile, inhlupheko nokulingwa angeke kwenze umuntu akhalaze ngalokhu engikuhlelile? Akekho umuntu owake wabonga inkemba esemlonyeni Wami: Wazi kuphela lokhu okuyichazayo okungaphandle ngaphandle kokuqonda ingaphakathi layo. Uma abantu bebekwazi ngempela ukubona ubukhali benkemba Yami, bebeyobalekela emigodini yabo njengamagundane. Ngenxa yokungazweli kwabo, abantu akukho abakuqondayo ngencazelo eyiqiniso yamazwi Ami, ngakho-ke abazi ukuthi amazwi Ami ajule kangakanani, noma aveza okungakanani ngendalo yabo, nokuthi inkohlakalo engakanani eseyehlulelwe, kulawo mazwi. Ngenxa yalokhu, ngokubheka ulwazi oluncane abanalo ngamazwi Ami, abantu abaningi bathathe isimo sokuba ndikindiki nokungafuni ukuzibophezela. 

Embusweni, akuphumi kuphela amazwi emlonyeni Wami, kodwa izinyawo Zami zinyathela ngeqholo yonke indawo emhlabeni. Ngale ndlela, nginyathela phezu kwazo zonke izindawo ezingcolile nezingahlanzekile, ukuze kungaguquki izulu kuphela, kodwa nomhlaba usendleleni yokuguquka, maduze uzokwenziwa ube musha. Emkhathini, yonke into iba yintsha ekukhanyeni kwenkazimulo Yami, iveza ingxenye ethokomalisa inhliziyo ejabulisa kakhulu imizwa ivuselele nomoya, kube sengathi manje ihlala ezulwini elingaphezulu kwamazulu, njengoba kucatshangwa umcabango wabantu, kungahlushwa uSathane, kukhululekile ekuhlaselweni izitha ezingaphandle. Phezu komkhathi, inqwaba yezinkanyezi zithatha indawo eziqokelwe yona ngokusho Kwami, zikhanyisa ukukhanya kwazo ezifundeni zezinkanyezi ngamahora obumnyama. Akekho noyedwa umuntu ofuna ukugcina imicabango yokungalaleli, ngakho-ke, ngokuhambisana nobuqu bomyalelo Wami wokuphatha, umhlaba wonke ulawulwa kahle futhi usahamba ngohlelo olufanele: Akukho ukuphazamiseka okube khona, futhi ubunye bomkhathi abukaze bunqamuke. Ngikhipha amagxathu andizayo ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi, futhi uma ilanga likhipha imisebe yalo, ngivimba ukufudumala kwayo esibhakabhakeni, ngikhiphe iziwombe ezinkulu zokukhithika kweqhwa okukhulu njengezimpaphe zehansi eziphuma ezandleni Zami. Kodwa uma ngiguqula umqondo Wami, lonke iqhwa lincibilikela emfuleni. Ngokuphazima kweso intwasahlobo ibe isifikile kuyo yonke indawo ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka, bese uhlaza olucwebile luguqula konke emhlabeni. Ngiyazulazula esibhakabhakeni, ngokushesha, umhlaba wembozwe ubumnyama ngenxa yomumo Wami: ngaphandle kwesexwayiso, “ubusuku” bufikile, emhlabeni wonke kumnyama ngangokuthi akekho obona isandla esiphambi kobuso bakhe. Ngokufiphala kokukhanya, abantu bathatha ithuba benze izinto ezizobabhubhisa, bentshontshelana bodwa. Izizwe zomhlaba zibe nokwahlukana obuxakalala, zangena esiyaluyalwini sodaka, kuze kube ukuthi azisahlengeki. Abantu bayazabalaza ekuhluphekeni, bakhale ekuhluphekeni, balile ngenxa yenhlupheko, befisa ukuthi kufike ukukhanya futhi phakathi kwabo kuphele izinsuku zobumnyama kubuyiswe impilo ebike yaba khona. Kodwa kade ngibashiyile abantu ngokuphebeza ingalo Yami, angeke ngiphinde ngimzwele ngenxa yobubi bomhlaba: Kade futhi ngabanyanya futhi ngabadikila abantu emhlabeni wonke, ngavala amehlo Ami ezimweni zomhlaba, ngafulathelisa ubuso Bami kukho konke ukuhamba komuntu, konke ukunyakaza kwakhe, ngayeka ukuthokoziswa ubungane bakhe nobumsulwa bakhe. Sengiqale olunye uhlelo lokwenza umhlaba ube musha, ukuze lo mhlaba omusha uthole ukuzalwa kabusha ngesikhathi esingalindelekile ungabe usacwila emanzini. Phakathi kwabantu, zingaki izimo ezingajwayelekile ebezilinde ukuthi ngizilungise, mangaki amaphutha okumele ngize Mina uqobo ngizowavimba ukuthi angenzeki, zingakanani izintuli okumele ngizisuse, zingaki izimfihlakalo okumele ngizembule: Bonke abantu balinde Mina, bafisa ukufika Kwami.

Emhlabeni, nginguNkulunkulu owenzayo uqobo Lwakhe ezinhliziyweni zabantu; ezulwini, ngiyiNkosi yazo zonke izidalwa. Ngiqwale izintaba ngawela nemifula, futhi ngingenile ngaphinde ngaphuma phakathi kubantu. Ubani ongalinge aphikise uNkulunkulu owenzayo uqobo Lwakhe? Ubani ongalinge aphume ebukhosini bukaSomandla? Ubani ongalinge afunge agomele, ngaphandle kokungabaza, ukuthi ngisezulwini? Futhi, ubani ongafunga agomele, ngaphandle kwephutha nelincane leli, ukuthi ngisemhlabeni? Akekho kubo bonke abantu okwaziyo ukuchaza imininingwane yezindawo engihlala kuzo. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uma ngisezulwini, ngiba uNkulunkulu onamandla adlula awemvelo oqobo Lwakhe? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uma ngisemhlabeni, ngiba uNkulunkulu owenzayo uqobo Lwakhe? Ukuthi nginguMbusi wazo zonke izidalwa, noma ngibona ukuhlupheka komhlaba wabantu – ngiqinisile lezi zinto ngeke kube yizo ezishoyo ukuthi nginguNkulunkulu owenzayo uqobo Lwakhe noma cha? Uma umuntu ecabanga kanjalo,[a] akenganyelwe ubumnyama kukho konke anethemba kukho? Ngisezulwini; futhi ngisemhlabeni; ngiphakathi kwezinto eziningi ezidaliwe, naphakathi kwezinkumbi zabantu. Umuntu angangithinta zonke izinsuku; ngaphezu kwalokho, angangibona zonke izinsuku. Ngokwabantu, kwesinye isikhathi ngifihlekile kanti kwesinye ngiyabonakala; ngibonakala sengathi ngikhona ngempela, kodwa kokunye angikho. Kimi kukhona izimfihlakalo abantu abangaziqondi. Kuba ngathi bonke abantu bayangilunguza ngesibona-khulu ukuze babone ezinye izimfihlakalo Kimi, benethemba lokuthi bazoqeda lo muzwa wokungaqondi ezinhliziyweni zabo. Kodwa ngisho bengasebenzisa umshini i- fluoroscope, abantu bangazithola kanjani izimfihlo ezivaleleke Kimi?

Uma abantu Bami, ngomsebenzi Wami, bekhazimuliswa kanye Nami, ngaleso sikhathi isigodlo sikadrago omkhulu obomvu sizombululwa, lonke udaka nokungcola kuzoguguleka, namanzi angcolile, avele eminyakeni eminingi edlule, azokonyiswa umlilo Wami ovuthayo, angabe esaba khona. Ngemva kwalokho, udrago omkhulu obomvu uzobhujiswa esithandweni somlilo nesibabule. Ngabe nizimisele ngeqiniso ukuhlala ngaphansi kweso Lami elibukhali ukuze ungahlwithwa ngudrago? Ngabe niwazonda ngempela amaqhinga akhe enkohliso? Ubani ozoma aqine angifakazele? Ngenxa yegama Lami, ngenxa yoMoya Wami, ngenxa yalo lonke uhlelo Lwami lokuphatha – ubani okwazi ukunikela amandla akhe onke asemzimbeni wakhe? Namuhla, lapho umbuso usemhlabeni wabantu, yisikhathi engize ngaso mathupha emhlabeni wabantu. Ngabe ukhona ongaba nesibindi angene empini egameni Lami? Ukuze umbuso uzothola umumo wawo, ukuze inhliziyo Yami izoneliseka, futhi, ukuze usuku Lwami luzofika, ukuze isikhathi sizofika lapho izinto eziningi ezidaliwe zizozalwa kabusha zikhule zande, ukuze umuntu akhululwe olwandle lwenhlupheko, ukuze ikusasa lifike, kube mnandi, lichume, futhi ukuze injabulo yesikhathi esizayo izofezeka, bonke abantu bazama ngamandla abo wonke, bengashiyi lutho ekuzikhandleni kwabo bezikhandlela Mina. Lokhu akulona uphawu lokuthi ukunqoba sekungokwami, nophawu lokupheleliswa kohlelo Lwami?

Uma abantu behlala kakhulu ezinsukwini zokugcina, kulapho bezozwa khona ukungabi nalutho komhlaba futhi bazophelelwa isibindi sokuphila impilo. Ngalesi sizathu, abantu abaningi babulawe ukuphoxeka, abaningi babo baphoxekile endleleni yabo, abaningi bazihlukumeze ngokuthi bakhohliseke esandleni sikaSathane. Ngikhulule abantu abaningi, ngeseka abaningi, kanti kaningi, uma abantu sebelahlekelwe ukukhanya, ngibabuyisele endaweni yokukhanya, ukuze bazongazi ekukhanyeni, bangithokozele enjabulweni. Ngenxa yokufika kokukhanya Kwami, kuba nokungithanda ezinhliziyweni zabantu abahlala embusweni Wami, ngoba nginguNkulunkulu wokuthi abantu bamthande, uNkulunkulu abantu ababambelela Kuye ngothando, bese beba nesithombe somumo Wami. Kodwa uma sekwenzekile konke, akekho oqondayo ukuthi ngabe lokhu kungumsebenzi kaMoya, noma ngumsebenzi wenyama. Lokhu kukodwa kwanele ukuthi umuntu abone imininingwane yomzuzu ekuhambeni kwempilo. Umuntu akakaze angenyanye ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yakhe; kodwa ubambelela Kimi ekujuleni komoya wakhe. Ubuhlakani Bami bukhulisa uthando, izimangaliso engiyenzayo yidili emehlweni akhe, amazwi Ami ayawuhlupha umqondo wakhe, yize kunjalo uyawanakekela. Uqobo Lwami lwenza umuntu aphelele amandla, ashaqeke futhi adideke, kodwa yize kunjalo uzimisele ukukwamukela konke. Ngabe lokhu akusona isilinganiso esinembile somuntu njengoba enjalo?

UNkulunkulu Ungumthombo Wokuphila Komuntu

　　Kusuka ngomzuzu ufika ukhala kulo mhlaba uqala ukuwenza umsebenzi wakho . Uqala ukubamba iqhaza lakho ohlelweni nasogcotshweni lukaNkulunkulu. Uqala uhambo lokuphila. Akukhathaliseki ukuthi usuka kuphi nokuthi uhlalelwe yiluphi uhambo, akekho ongaphunyukwa uhlelo olubekwe yiZulu, futhi akekho olawula isiphetho sakhe, yilowo obusa zonke izinto kuphela ongakwazi ukwenza lowo msebenzi. Kusukela ngosuku umuntu aba khona ngalo, uNkulunkulu yilokhu eme waqina emsebenzini Wakhe, ephethe indawo yonke futhi elawula ukuguquka nokunyakaza kwayo yonke. Njengazo zonke izinto, umuntu ngaleya kokuqaphela, ulokhu ondliwa ngobumtoti nemvula namazolo okuvela kuNkulunkulu. Njengazo zonke izinto, umuntu engazi uphila ngaphansi ngokuhlelela kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu. Inhliziyo nomoya womuntu kuphethwe yisandla sikaNkulunkulu, nakho konke ukuphila komuntu kusemehlweni kaNkulunkulu. Akunandaba ukuthi uyakukholwa noma awukukholwa lokhu, zonke izinto, eziphilayo noma ezifile, ziyogudluka, ziguquke, zenziwe zintsha futhi zinyamalale ngokuhambisana nemicabango kaNkulunkulu. Lena yindlela uNkulunkulu abusa ngayo phezu kwazo zonke izinto.

　　Njengoba ubusuku buqala isinyelela, umuntu akanakile, ngoba inhliziyo yomuntu ayikwazi ukubona indlela ubumnyama obusondela ngayo noma lapho buqhamuka khona. Njengoba ubusuku buphela kancane kancane, umuntu wamukela ukukhanya kosuku, kodwa akucaci kakhudlwana enhliziyweni yomuntu ukuthi ukukhanya kuvela kuphi nokuthi kubuxoshe kanjani ubumnyama basebusuku. Ukuguquguquka okunjalo okungapheli kwemini nobusuku kususa umuntu kwenye inkathi kumuse kwenye, kuhambise nezikhathi, kube futhi kuqikelela ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu necebo lakhe kuyenziwa isikhathi ngasinye nangazo zonke izikhathi. Umuntu wedlula ezinkathini noNkulunkulu, kodwa umuntu akazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubusa zonke izinto eziphilayo noma akayazi indlela uNkulunkulu ahlela ngayo naqondisa ngayo zonke izinto. Yiyo le nto ebilokhu ihlula umuntu kusukela endulo kuze kube yimanje. Mayelana nembangela yalokho, akubangelwa ukuthi izindlela zikaNkulunkulu aziqondakali kakhulu, noma ukuthi yima luzofezeka uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu, kodwa kubangelwa ukuthi inhliziyo nomoya womuntu kuqhelelene kakhulu noNkulunkulu. Ngakho, ngisho noma umuntu emlandela uNkulunkulu, ulokhu esebenzela uSathane noma yena engazi. Akekho ofuna ngenkuthalo ukulandela izinyathelo noma ukubonakala kukaNkulunkulu, futhi akekho ofisa ukuphila ekubakekelweni nokugcinwa uNkulunkulu. Kunalokho, abantu bavumela ukuwohlozwa uSathane, nomubi ukuze bamukeleke kuleli zwe nasemithethweni yokuphila elandelwa yisintu esikhohlakele. Kuleli qophelo, inhliziyo nomoya womuntu kunikelwe kuSathane futhi kwaneliswa nguye. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inhliziyo yomuntu nomoya wakhe kuba indawo uSathane angahlala kuyo futhi kuba indawo enhle angadlalela kuyo. Ngale ndlela, umuntu engazi, akabe esayiqonda imigomo yokuba umuntu, nokufaneleka kanye nezinjongo zokuba khona komuntu. Imithetho kaNkulunkulu nesivumelwano esiphakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu kushabalala kancane kancane enhliziyweni yomuntu aze umuntu angamfuni noma angamnaki uNkulunkulu. ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, umuntu akabe esaqonda ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu adala umuntu, futhi akabe esawaqonda amazwi aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu noma aqaphele konke okuvela kuNkulunkulu. Umuntu uqala ukuphikisa imithetho nezinqumo zikaNkulunkulu; inhliziyo nomoya womuntu kuyafa. … UNkulunkulu ulahlekelwa umuntu wendalo Yakhe yokuqala, futhi umuntu ulahlekelwa yimpande yesiqalo sakhe. Lolu usizi lwalesi sintu. Eqinisweni, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube manje, uNkulunkulu wethule imbangalusizi esintwini lapho umuntu eyiqhawe futhi engumgilwa kuyo, futhi akekho owaziyo ukuthi ubani ongumqondisi wale mbangalusizi.

　　Ezweni elibanzi, sekwenzeke izinguquko ezingenakubalwa ziphindelela. Akekho okwazi ukuhola nokuqondisa lesi sintu ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu obusa phezu kwazo zonke izinto endaweni yonke. Akekho onamandla amakhulu ongasebenza futhi alungiselele lesi sintu, kuncane kakhulu umuntu angakwenza ukuze aholele lesi sintu endaweni enokukhanya nokusikhulula ekungabini nabulungiswa okusemhlabeni. UNkulunkulu uyadabuka ngekusasa lesintu, futhi uzwa ubuhlungu ngokuwa kwesintu. Uzwa usizi ngokunyathela kwesintu kancane sibheke ekushabalaleni nasendleleni engenakubuyela emuva. Isintu siyiphulile inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu samphika ukuze sifune omubi. Akekho owake wacabanga ngokuthi isintu esifana nalesi sizoshona ngaphi. Yingakho kungenamuntu oqaphela intukuthelo uNkulunkulu anayo. Akekho ofuna indlela yokujabulisa uNkulunkulu noma ozama ukusondela kuNkulunkulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akekho okubonakala eluqonda usizi nobuhlungu ubukaNkulunkulu. Ngisho nangemva kokuzwa izwi likaNkulunkulu, umuntu uqhubeka kule ndlela ekude noNkulunkulu, egwema umusa nokunakekela kukaNkulunkulu, futhi eshalazela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, futhi angancamela ukuzithengisa kuSathane, isitha sikaNkulunkulu. Futhi ubani oke wacabanga ngokuthi uNkulunkulu uyokwenzani kumuntu ongaphenduki ozehlukanise Naye? Akekho owaziyo noma izikhumbuzo eziphindaphindwayo zikaNkulunkulu nokunxusa Kwakhe kwenzeka ngenxa yokuthi ezandleni Zakhe uphethe inhlekelele engakaze ibonwe aseyilungisile, engeyukumelwa yinyama nomphefumulo womuntu. Le nhlekelele ayisona isijesiso senyama nje, kodwa nesomphefumulo futhi. Kumele ukwazi lokhu: Lapho uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lungafezwa lwenziwa ize nalapho izikhumbuzo nokunxusa Kwakhe kushaywa indiva, lokho kuyomthukuthelisa kangakanani? Lokhu ngeke kufane nalutho oseluke lwenzeka, noma lwezwiwa noma iyiphi indalo. Ngakho-ke ngithi, le nhlekelele ayikaze ibe khona futhi ngeke iphinde ibe khona enjengayo. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi iyodwa kuphela indalo nensindiso ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu. Lesi isikhathi sokuqala futhi nesokugcina. Ngakho, akekho ongaqonda inhloso enomusa nokuba nokulangazelela okuvuthayo kukaNkulunkulu ukusindiswa kwesintu.

　　UNkulunkulu wadala lo mhlaba futhi waletha umuntu, isidalwa esiphilayo afaka kuso ukuphila. Umuntu yena, waba nabazali nezihlobo futhi akaba esaba yedwa. Kusukela ngesikhathi umuntu abona ngaso umhlaba, wayehlelelwe ukuba sogcotshweni lukaNkulunkulu. Umoya wokuphila ovela kuNkulunkulu oweseka isidalwa ngasinye esiphilayo ekukhuleni kuze kube sebudaleni. Phakathi nale nqubo, akekho okholwa ukuthi umuntu uphila futhi akhule ngaphansi kokunakekelwa uNkulunkulu. Kunalokho, umuntu ubambelela ekuthini wakhula ngaphansi kothando nokunakekelwa abazali bakhe, nokuthi ukukhula kwakhe kwakuqondiswa umuzwa wangaphakathi wokuphila. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umuntu wazi okuncane ngokuthi ukuphila kwanikezwa ngubani nokuthi kuvela kuphi, akazi ukuthi inqubo yokuphila izidala kanjani izimangaliso. Umuntu wazi kuphela ukuthi ukudla kwakha isisekelo sokuthi umuntu aqhubeke nokuphila, nokuthi ukubekezela kuwumnyobo wobukhona bempilo nokuthi ukukholwa kungumnotho wokuphila kwakhe. Akawuboni umusa nokondliwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu. Umuntu ube esekusaphaza ukuphila akunikwe uNkulunkulu. … Akekho umuntu kubantu uNkulunkulu abalondoloza ubusuku nemini othatha kuqala isinyathelo sokumkhonza. UNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka esebenza kumuntu njengoba ehlelile futhi akalindele okuthile kuye. Lokho ukwenza enethemba lokuthi ngelinye ilanga, umuntu uyovuka emaphusheni bese eyiqonda injongo nokubaluleka kokuphila, aqonde nenani uNkulunkulu anike okuningi ngalo konke umuntu, futhi azi nokuthi uNkulunkulu ukulangazelela kangakanani ukuthi umuntu abuyele Kuye. Akekho oseke wacabanga ngezimfihlo zokuqala nokuqhubeka kwempilo yomuntu. Kodwa, uNkulunkulu kuphela oqonda futhi abekezelele buthule bonke ubuhlungu nokungqutshuzwa okuvela kumuntu, osamukele konke okuvela kuNkulunkulu kodwa akabongi. Umuntu ukuthatha kalula konke okuza nokuphila, futhi “kuyinto efanele nje,” abantu bamlahlile, bamkhohlwa futhi bamsenga uNkulunkulu. Ingabe uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lubaluleke kangako ngempela yini? Ingabe umuntu, isidalwa esiphilayo esiphuma esandleni sikaNkulunkulu, ubaluleke ngaleyo ndlela? Icebo likaNkulunkulu libaluleke kakhulu; nokho, abantu abaphilayo abadala ngesandla Sakhe baphilela icebo Lakhe. Ngakho, uNkulunkulu ngeke ayeke uhlelo Lwakhe ngenxa yenzondo yalesi sintu. Kungenxa yohlelo Lwakhe nomoya awuphefumulayo okwenza uNkulunkulu abekezelele bonke ukuhlushwa, hhayi ngenxa yenyama yomuntu kodwa ngenxa yokuphila komuntu. Uyafisa ukubuyisa hhayi nje inyama yomuntu kodwa impilo ayiphefumula. Leli icebo Lakhe.

　　Bonke abafika kulo mhlaba kumele baphile bese beyafa, futhi baningi asebelubonile uchungechunge lokufa nokuzalwa kabusha. Abaphilayo kungekudala bazoshona bese kuthi abafile babuye maduze. Konke lokhu kungumgudu wokuphila ohlelwe uNkulunkulu ewuhlelela sonke isidalwa esiphilayo. Nokho, lo mgudu nochungechunge kungamaqiniso uNkulunkulu afisa abantu bawazi, ukuthi ukuphila uNkulunkulu akufake kubo akupheli futhi akuphazanyiswa inyama, isikhathi, noma umkhathi. Lena imfihlakalo yokuphila uNkulunkulu akufake kumuntu nobufakazi bokuthi ukuphila kuvela kuNkulunkulu. Nakuba abaningi bengase bengakholwa ukuthi ukuphila kwavela kuNkulunkulu, abantu nakanjani bakujabulela konke okuvela kuNkulunkulu, kungakhathaleki ukuthi bayakukholwa noma bayakuphika ukuba khona Kwakhe. Uma ngelinye ilanga uNkulunkulu engake aguqule inhliziyo yakhe noma abuyisele kuye zonke izinto ezisemhlabeni noma athathe ukuphila akunikezile, akekho umuntu oyophila. UNkulunkulu usebenzisa ukuphila Kwakhe ukuze anakekele zonke izinto, eziphilayo nezingaphili, enze konke kuhleleke esebenzisa amandla negunya Lakhe. Leli iqiniso okungekho muntu ongalisungula noma aliqonde kalula, futhi la maqiniso angaqondakali kalula abaluleke kakhulu futhi awubufakazi kanye bokubonakala kwamandla empilo kaNkulunkulu. Manje yithi nginitshele imfihlo: Ubukhulu namandla okuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngeke kuqondwe ngokujulile yinoma yisiphi isidalwa. Kunjena manje, njengoba kwakunjalo nasekuqaleni, kuyoba njalo esikhathini esizayo. Imfihlo yesibili engizoyikhipha yile: Umthombo wokuphila uvela kuNkulunkulu, kwayo yonke indalo, akunandaba ukuthi yakheke ngendlela ehlukile. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi uluhlobo olunjani lwesidalwa, awukwazi ukuhamba uphambane nomgudu uNkulunkulu awubekile. Kunoma ikuphi, engikufisayo ukuthi umuntu aqonde ukuthi ngaphandle kokunakekelwa, ukulondolozwa, kanye nokondliwa nguNkulunkulu, umuntu ngeke athole yonke into okwakufanele ayithole, akunandaba ukuthi uzama noma uzabalaza kangakanani. Ngaphandle kokuthola ukuphila kuNkulunkulu, umuntu ngeke azi ukuthi uphilelani, futhi uyolahlekelwa injongo yokuphila. UNkulunkulu angamvumela kanjani umuntu ochitha ukubaluleka kokuphila Kwakhe ukuba angabi nandaba kanje? Kodwa futhi, ungakhohlwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumthombo wokuphila. Uma umuntu ehluleka ukwazisa konke lokho uNkulunkulu amnike khona, uNkulunkulu ngeke agcine nje ngokubuyisa amnika khona, kodwa okukhulu kunalokho, umuntu uyokhokha ngokuphindwe kabili ukuze enze isinxephezelo ngakho konke uNkulunkulu akuchithile.

   Namuhla, Ngikukhuzela ukuthi kusinde wena, ukuze umsebenzi Wami uqhubeke ngempumelelo, nokuthi umsebenzi Wami wokuqala wenziwe ngokufanele nangendlela esezingeni elicokeme emhlabeni jikelele, ngokudalula amazwi Ami, negunya, nokuphakama kanye nokwahlulela abantu bakuwo wonke amazwe nezinhlanga. Umsebenzi Engiwenza phakathi kwenu uyisiqalo somsebenzi wami emhlabeni jikelele. Yize manje sekuyizinsuku zokugcina, yazi ukuthi “izinsuku zokugcina” yigama lenkathi: NjengeNkathi Yomthetho Nenkathi Yomusa, kushiwo inkathi, futhi kushiwo inkathi iyonke, kunokubalwa kweminyaka embalwa yokugcina nezinyanga. Kube izinsuku zokugcina zehluke kakhulu kuneNkathi Yomusa neNkathi Yomthetho. Umsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina awenziwa kwa-Israyeli, kodwa kubantu Bezizwe; kuwumsebenzi wokunqoba ophambi kwesihlalo Sami sobukhosi sezinhlanga zonke kanye nabo bonke abantu abangaphandle kwakwa-Israyeli, ukuze ukukhazinyuliswa Kwami emhlabeni jikelele kugcwalise umkhathi uwonke. Lokho kwenzelwa ukuthi ngidunyiswe kakhulu, ukuze zonke izidalwa zasemhlabeni zikwazi ukudlulisela udumo Lwami ezizweni zonke, ingunaphakade ezizukulwaneni, futhi zonke izidalwa zasezulwini nasemhlabeni zingakwazi ukubona ukukhazimula engikuthole emhlabeni. Umsebenzi owenziwa ngezinsuku zokugcina ungumsebenzi wokunqoba. Akusikho ukuholwa kwezimpilo zabo bonke abantu emhlabeni, kodwa kuwukuphetha ukungashatshalaliswa kwesintu, ukuhlupheka kwezigidi zeminyaka kwasemhlabeni. Ngenxa yalokho, umsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina ngeke ube njengalowo weminyaka eyizinkulungwane kwa-Israyeli, noma njengomsebenzi waseJudiya weminyaka eyishumi owaqhubekela kweminye iminyaka eyizinkulungwane kwaze kwaba ukuthatha isimo somuntu kukaNkulunkulu okwesibili. Abantu bezinsuku zokugcina babhekana nokuvela kabusha koMhlengi enyameni, futhi bathola umsebenzi namazwi kaNkulunkulu ngqo. Angeke kube iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngaphambi kokuba kuphele izinsuku zokugcina; zimbalwa, njengesikhathi lapho uJesu enza umsebenzi Ngenkathi Yomusa eJudiya. Lokhu kwenziwa ukuthi izinsuku zokugcina ziyisiphetho sesikhathi somlando sisonke. Ziwukuqedelwa nokupheliswa kohlelo lokuphatha lukaNkulunkulu lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, futhi kuphetha inkambo yempilo kanye nokuhlupheka kwesintu. Abadluliseli isintu sisonke enkathini entsha noma bavumele isintu ukuthi siqhubeke nokuphila. Lokhu kuyobe kungabalulekile ohlelweni lokuphatha Lwami noma ebukhoneni bomuntu. Uma isintu siqhubeka kanje; maduze nje sizobe sesizinikele ngokugcwele kuSathane, futhi leyo miphefumulo Okungeyami izobe iphunyukile Umsebenzi Wami uhlala iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, futhi Ngiyethembisa ukuthi ukulawula komubi esintwini sisonke nakho kuyoba ngokweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha. Ngakho, siphelile isikhathi. Angisaqhubeki futhi angisadembeseli manje: Ngezinsuku zokugcina ngizomunqoba uSathane, ngizobuyisela inkazimulo Yami, futhi ngizolanda imiphefumulo Yami emhlabeni ukuze le miphefumulo ekhathazekile ephunyuke olwandle lokuhlupheka, futhi lokhu kuzophothula umsebenzi Wami uwonke emhlabeni. Kusukela ngalolu suku kuya phambili, ngeke ngisaphinde ngibe sesimweni senyama emhlabeni, futhi ngeke uMoya Wami olawulayo uphinde usebenze emhlabeni. Ngizokwenza okukodwa vo emhlabeni: Ngizokwenza isintu kabusha, isintu esingcwele, esiyidolobha Lami elethembekile emhlabeni. Kodwa azi ukuthi angizukunqoba umhlaba uwonke, noma angizukunqoba sonke isintu. Ngizogcina ingxenye – ingxenyana ethanda Mina futhi enqontshwe Yimi kakhulu, futhi Ngizokwenza ukuthi le ngxenyana ithele izithelo futhi igcwalise umhlaba njengoba kwenza ama-Israyeli ngaphansi komthetho, bondliwe ngezimvu eziningi kanye nomhlambi wezinkomo kanye nayo yonke ingcebo yomhlaba. Lesi sintu sizohlala Nami ingunaphakade, kube ayisiso lesi sintu esingcolile nesinengayo sanamuhla, kodwa isintu esihlanganisa bonke abazuzwa Yimi. Isintu esinjalo asizukumoshakala, siphazamiseke, noma sizungezwe uSathane, futhi kuzoba yiso kuphela isintu esikhona emhlabeni emuva kokuba senginqobe uSathane. Yisintu esinqotshwe Yimi namuhla futhi ezizuze isethembiso Sami. Ngakho, isintu esinqotshwe ngezinsuku zokugcina siphinde sibe yisintu esizohlengwa nesizothola izibusiso Zami ingunaphakade. Kuzoba yibo kuphela ubufakazi bokunqoba Kwami uSathane, futhi yikho kuphela okuzobe kuwumqhele wempi Yami noSathane. Le miqhele yempi isindiswe Yimi esigodlweni sikaSathane, futhi iwukukhazimula nezithelo zohlelo lokuphatha Lwami lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha. Iphume kuwo wonke amazwe namabandla, nakuzo zonke izindawo namazwe emhlabeni jikelele. Yehlukile kunezinye izinhlanga, inezilimi ezehlukile, amasiko kanye namabala esikhumba, futhi igcwele ezweni ngalinye nebandla emhlabeni jikelele, kanye namakhona omhlaba jikelele. Ekugcineni, izohlangana njengesintu esiphelele, kanye nokuhlangana kwabantu amandla kaSathane angefinyelele kukho. Labo phakathi kwesintu abangasindiswanga nabanganqotshwanga Yimi bazominzela ekujuleni kolwandle, futhi bazoshishwa amalangabi Ami avutha bhe ingunaphakade. Ngizosinqoba lesi sintu esidala nesingcole ngokwedlulele, njengoba nganqoba amadodana ayeyimazibulo kanye nomhlambi waseGibhithe, kusale ama-Israyeli, adla inyama yemvu, aphuza igazi lemvu, futhi afakwa uphawu ezicabheni zawo ngegazi lemvu. Ngabe abantu abanqotshwa Yimi futhi abangabomndeni Wami asibo laba bantu abadla inyama Yami Imvu, baphuza igazi Lami Imvu, futhi bahlengwa Yimi futhi Bangidumisa? Ngabe laba bantu abahlali behambisana nenkazimulo Yami? Ngabe labo abangenayo inyama Yami Imvu sebeminzele ekujuleni kolwandle? Namuhla baphikisana Nami, futhi namuhla amazwi Ami anjengalawo akhulunywa uJehova kumadodana nabazukulu bakwa-Israyeli. Kube ubunzima bokujula kwezinhliziyo zenu kulekanisa ulaka Lwami, kulethe inhlupheko phezu kwenyama yenu, kwande isijeziso phezu kwezono zentu, futhi kwandise ulaka phezu kokulunga kwenu. Ubani ongasinda ngosuku lolaka Lwami, uma niphatha Mina kanje namuhla? Ubani onokulunga okungaphunyuka emehlweni Ami okujezisa? Ngezabani izono ezingaphunyuka ezandleni Zami, uSomandla? Ukona kukabani okungathola ukwahlulelwa Yimi, uSomandla? Mina, Jehova, ngikhuluma kuwe, izizukulwane zomndeni Wezizwe, futhi amazwi akhulunya Yimi kuwe edlula izwi leNkathi Yomthetho neNkathi Yomusa, kodwa ulukhuni ngaphezu kwabantu baseGibhithe. Ngabe ugcine ulaka Lwami njengoba ngisebenzela ukuphumula? Ungaphunyuka kanjani ungalimanga ngosuku Lwami, uSomandla

  Ngisebenzile futhi ngakhuluma ngale ndlela phakathi kwenu, ngichithe amandla amaningi kanye nomzamo, kodwa-ke wake walalesisa engikutshela kona? Waguqa nini phambi Kwami, uSomandla? Kungani wangiphatha ngale ndlela? Kungani konke okushoyo kuvusa ulaka la Kimi? Kungani ninezinhliziyo ezilukhuni kangaka? Ngabe ngake nganibhaxabula? Kungani ningenzi lutho kodwa Ningidabukisa futhi Ningethusa? Ngabe nilindele usuku lolaka Lwami, uJehova, luze phezu kwenu? Ngabe nilindele Mina ukuthi ngehle ngenyuka ngolaka ngenxa yokungalaleli? Ngabe engikwenzayo kukonke angikwenzeli khona? Kepha bewulokhu uphatha Mina, Jehova, ngale ndlela: weba iminikelo Yami, ugoduka neminikelo ye-altare Lami uyofunza amazinyane kanye nabazukulu bamazinyane esigodlweni esesabekayo; “abantu” bayalwa, bebhekene ngamehlo agcwele ulaka kanye nemikhonto, bejikijela amazwi Ami, uSomandla, endlini yangasese ukuze angcoliswe indle. Buphi ubuqotho bakho? Ubuntu bakho sebusasilwane! Izinhliziyo zenu zaphenduka itshe kudala. Ngabe uyazi ukuthi uma sekufika usuku lolaka Lwami yilapho Engiyohlulela ngobubi obenze Kimi, uSomandla namuhla? Ngabe ncabanga ukuthi ngokukhohlisa Mina ngale ndlela, ngokujikijela amazwi Ami emgodini nokungawalaleli – ngabe nicabanga ukuthi ngokwenza kanje Ngingakuboni ungaphunyuka emlilweni wolaka Lwami? Ngabe niyazi ukuthi seniboniwe amehlo Ami, Jehova, ngenkathi neba iminikelo Yami futhi nithukusa impahla Yami? Ngabe uyazi ukuthi ngenkathi neba iminikelo Yami, kwakuphambi kwe-altare okwenziwa kulo iminikelo? Ningacabanga kanjani ukuthi nihlakaniphe kangangoba ningadukisa Mina ngale ndlela? Ulaka lwami lungasuka kanjani ezonweni zenu ezixakile? Ulaka Lwami lungadlula kanjani phezu kwezenzo zenu zobubi? Isono enisenza namuhla asinivuleli intuba yokuphuma, kodwa silekanisa isijeziso senu sangomuso; siqubula isijeziso Sami, uSomandla, esiqondiwe kini. Izenzo zenu kanye namazwi obubi benu kungaphunyuka kanjani esijezisweni Sami? Imithandazo yenu ingafinyelela kanjani ezindlebeni Zami? Nginganivulela kanjani indlela yenu yokulunga? Ngingahlukana kanjani nezenzo zenu ezimbi ezihlazisa Mina? Ngingadlula kanjani olimini lwenu olunoshevu njengolwenyoka? Aningibizeli ukulunga kwenu, kodwa kunalokho nandisa ulaka Lwami ngenxa yokungalungi kwenu. Nginganixolela kanjani? Emehlweni Ami, uSomandla, amazwi kanye nezenzo zenu kungcolile. Amehlo Ami, uSomandla, abona ukungalungi kwenu njengesijeziso esingenakuxolelwa. Isijezo Sami esilungile kanye nokwahlulela kungasuka kanjani kini? Ngoba nenza lokhu Kimi, Ningenza Ngigcwale ukudabuka nolaka, Nginganidedela kanjani ezandleni Zami ukuze niphunyuke kulolo suku mina, Jehova, engizonijezisa futhi nginiqalekise ngalo? Ngabe anazi ukuthi amazwi enu amabi asefinyelele ezindlebeni Zami? Ngabe anazi ukuthi ukungalungi kwenu sekungcolise ingubo Yami yokulunga? Ngabe anazi ukuthi ukungalaleli kwenu Sekungidalele ulaka olukhulu? Ngabe niyazi ukuthi sesi side kakhulu isikhathi Ningishiye Ngiqhuma, futhi sesi side kakhulu isikhathi Ngibekezele? Ngabe niyazi ukuthi senimoshe inyama nempahla Yami? Ngibekezele kwaze kwaba yimanje, kangangoba ngidedele ulaka Lwami, ngeke ngisanibekezelela. Ngabe niyazazi ukuthi izenzo zenu zobubi sezifinyelele emehlweni Ami, futhi ukukhala Kwami sekufinyelele ezindlebeni zikaBaba Wami? Anganivumela kanjani ukuthi niphathe Mina ngale ndlela? Ave umsebenzi Enginenzela wona ungowokusiza nina? Kepha obani phakathi kwenu abathanda umsebenzi Wami, Jehova? Ngingakwazi ukungathembeki entandweni kaBaba Wami ngoba ngiyantengantenga, nangenxa yobuhlungu engidlule kubo? Aniyiqondi inhliziyo Yami? Ngikhuluma nani njengoba kwenza uJehova; ukuba anginikezelanga ngokuningi ngenxa yenu? Yize ngizimisele ngokuthwala konke lokhu kuhluphela ngenxa yomsebenzi kaBaba Wami, ningakhululwa kanjani ekujezisweni engizokuletha phezu kwenu ngenxa yokuhlupheka Kwami? Aningithokozelanga? Namuhla, nginikelwe phezu kwenu uBaba; ngabe anazi ukuthi nithola umusa Wami ngokweqile? Ngabe anazi ukuthi impilo Yami yathatha indawo yempilo yenu kanye nezinto enizithokozelayo? Ngabe anazi ukuthi uBaba Wami wasebenzisa impilo Yami ukuze alwe noSathane, kanye nokuthi Wanikela ngempilo Yami phezu kwenu, okwenza ukuthi nithole ngokuphindaphindiwe, futhi kwanivumela ukuthi nigweme lezo zilingo? Ngabe anazi ukuthi niyokhululwa ezilingweni eziyinqwaba nasezijezisweni eziningi ngenxa yomsebenzi Wami? Ngabe anazi ukuthi Yimi kuphela owenze ukuthi uBaba Wami anivumele ukuze nithokoze kuze kube yimanje? Izinhliziyo zenu zingahlala zilukhuni nanamuhla, njengoba sezimile uqweqwe? Ububi enibenza namuhla bungaphunyuka kanjani ngosuku lolaka oluzolandela ekuhamba Kwami emhlabeni? Ngingavuma kanjani ukuthi labo abanezinhliziyo ezilukhuni baphunyuke olakeni lukaJehova?

  Cabanga ngesikhathi sakudala: Ngabe Ngake Ngabuka ngolaka olungaka, futhi nezwi Lami ladlengezela, kini? Ngabe nganicasukela ngokweqile nini? Ngake nginikhuza ngendlela engafanele? Ngake nganikhuza ngqo? Akuve kungenxa yomsebenzi wami njengoba ngibiza uBaba Wami ukuthi anigcine kuzo zonke izilingo? Kungani nangiphatha ngale ndlela? Ngake ngawasebenzisa amandla Ami ukuze ngishaye inyama yenu? Kungani Ningikhokhela ngale ndlela? Emuva kokungivuthela nokubandela, anishisi futhi anibandi, futhi nikhohlisa Mina futhi nifihlela Mina izinto, futhi imilomo yenu igcwele amathe okungalungi. Ngabe nicabanga ukuthi ulimi lwenu lungaqola uMoya Wami? Ngabe nicabanga ukuthi ulimi lwenu lingaphunyuka olakeni Lwami? Ngabe nicabanga ukuthi ulimi lwenu lungadlula ukwahlulelwa kwezenzo Kimi, uJehova, noma kanjani? Ngabe nginguNkulunkulu owahlulelwa umuntu? Ngingavumela isibungu esincane sihlambalaze Mina ngale ndlela? Ngingawadlulisela kanjani la madodana okungalaleli ezibusisweni Zami zengunaphakade? Amazwi nezenzo zenu sekunidalulile futhi kwanilahla kakhulu. Ngenkathi ngelula amazulu, Ngadala zonke izinto, Angivumelanga lutho oludaliwe ukuthi luzibandakanye ngendlela oludalwe ngayo, kube Angivumelanga lutho ukuthi luphazamise umsebenzi Wami kanye nokuphatha Kwami noma ngabe kanjani. Angamukelanga muntu noma lutho; ngangingabayekelelani labo ababi nabangiphatha ngendlela engenabo ubuntu? Bengingabaxolela kanjani labo abahlubuka emazwini Ami? Bengingabayekela kanjani labo Abangangilaleli? Impumelelo yomuntu ayikho ezandleni Zami, uSomandla, na? Ngingasho kanjani ukuthi ukungalungi nokungalaleli kwenu kungcwele? Izono zenu zingabungcolisa kanjani ubungcwele Bami? Angingcoliswa ukungcola kokungalungi, noma ngabe ngithokozela iminikelo yokungalungi. Ukuba benethembekile Kimi, Jehova, beningazihambisela iminikelo e-altare Lami? Beningasebenzisa ulimi lwenu olugcwele ushevu ukuze nithuke igama Lami elingcwele? Beningahlubuka emazwini Ami ngale ndlela? Beningaphatha ubungcwele Bami kanye negama elingcwele njengethuluzi lokusebenzela uSathane, ongomubi? Impilo yami ihlinzekelwa ukuthokozelwa abantu abangcwele. Bengingakuvumela kanjani ukuthi udlale ngempilo Yami isinomakanjani, futhi niyisebenzise njengethuluzi lokuxokozela phakathi kwenu? Ningaba kanjani nenhliziyo embi nengenamusa eniyibhekise Kimi? Ngabe anazi ukuthi sengizibhalile izinto ezimbi kula mazwi okuphila? Ningalubalekela kanjani usuku lolaka uma sengijezisa iGibhithe? Ungangiphikisa futhi ungihlubule kanjani ngale ndlela, kuphindelela? Nginitshela ngokucacile, uma sekufika usuku, isijeziso sakho siyobe singabekezeleki kakhulu kunalokho kwaseGibhithe! Ningalubaleka kanjani usuku lolaka Lwami? Ngisho ngiyaqinisa: Ukubekezela Kwami kwakulungiselwe izenzo zenu ezimbi, futhi kukhona ukuze nijeziswe ngalolo suku. Ngabe anisibo labo abayobhekana nokwahlulela ngolaka uma sengifike ekugcineni kokubekezela Kwami? Ave yonke into isezandleni Zami, uSomandla? Nginganivumela kanjani ukuthi ningangilaleli, ngaphezu kwamazulu? Impilo yenu izoba nzima kakhulu ngoba anikahlangani noMesiya, okwakuthiwe Uyofika, kepha ongafikanga. Anizona izitha Zakhe? UJesu belokhu engumngane wenu, kepha niyizitha zikaMesiya. Ngabe anazi ukuthi yize ningabangani baJesu, izenzo zenu ezimbi zigcwalise izintsha zalabo abazondekayo? Yize nisondele kakhulu kuJehova, ngabe anazi ukuthi amazwi enu amabi sefinyelele ezindlebeni zikaJehova futhi zaqubula ulaka Lwakhe? Angasondelana kanjani nani, futhi kungani bengeke akushisele lezo zitsha zenu, lezo ezigcwele izenzo zobubi? Kungani Ebengeke abe yisitha senu?

Kwakuyileli zwi elihle, elizwakala kamnandi, futhi elinamazwi ambalwa elangenisa sonke isintu emsebenzini omusha kaNkulunkulu nasenkathini entsha, futhi elabeka isisekelo futhi lalungisa indawo yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kulokhu kuba sesimweni somuntu. Umuntu angathi izwi elakhishwa nguNkulunkulu ngalesi sikhathi yilona elixhumanisa izinkathi; ukuthi ngokokuqala uNkulunkulu akukhulumile esintwini kusuka ekuqaleni kweNkathi Yomusa; ngaphezu kwalokhu, ukuthi ngokokuqala ekhuluma emva kokulokhu efihlakele iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili; futhi, okunye, lokhu kuyisingeniso, iqophelo elibalulekile lokuqala, lomsebenzi uNkulunkulu asezowenza eNkathini Yombuso.

        Okokuqala uNkulunkulu ekhuluma izwi, wakwenza lokho ngesimo sokuncoma ngokubuka komuntu wesithathu, ngolimi olwaluluhle kakhulu futhi lucwengekile luphinde lube sobala nolwejwayelekile, kanye nokunika ukuphila okwakuqondakala masinyane nakalula. Ngalokhu, wathatha leli qembu elincane labantu, elalazi kuphela indlela yokuthokozela umusa Wakhe ngenkathi lilindele ngokulangazelela ukubuya kweNkosi uJesu, walingenisa ngokuthula kwesinye isigaba somsebenzi ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu lokuphatha. Kulezi zimo, isintu asazanga, futhi asilokothanga sakucabanga, ukuthi luhlobo luni lomsebenzi uNkulunkulu ayezowenza ekugcineni, noma ukuthi yini eyayikhona endleleni engaphambili. Emva kwalokho, uNkulunkulu waqhubeka nokukhipha amanye amazwi ukuze angenise isintu kancane kancane enkathini entsha. Ngokumangazayo, onke amazwi kaNkulunkulu ehlukile kwakuqukethe futhi ngaphezu kwalokho asebenzisa izimo ezehlukene zokudumisa nezindlela zokukhuluma. La mazwi, afanayo ngephimbo kodwa ahlukene ngokuqukethwe, agcwaliswe ngokungenakuguquka ngemizwa kaNkulunkulu yokunakekela nokukhathalela, futhi cishe yilelo nalelo liphethe amalungiselelo okuphila ngokwehlukile okuqukethwe nangamazwi okukhumbuza, okunxusa, nokududuza asuka kuNkulnkulu eya kumuntu. Kula mazwi iziqephu ezifana nalezi zivela ngokuphindaphindiwe: “UNkulunkulu oyedwa wangempela ube yinyama, uyiNhloko yezulu nomhlaba elawula zonke izinto”; “INkosi enqobile ihleli esihlalweni Sayo esihle kakhulu”; “Uphethe izulu nomhlaba ezandleni Zakhe”; njalo njalo. Kwedluliswa umbiko ngalezi ziqephu, noma umuntu angathi lezi ziqephu zedlulisa umbiko esintwini: UNkulunkulu vele usefikile emhlabeni wabantu, uNkulunkulu uzoqala umsebenzi omkhulu ngokwengenziwe, umbuso kaNkulunkulu sewehlele eqenjini labantu abathile, futhi uNkulunkulu usethole inkazimulo futhi unqobe inqwaba yezitha Zakhe. Lelo nalelo zwi likaNkulunkulu libamba inhliziyo yomuntu ngamunye. Sonke isintu silinde ngokulangezelela ukuba uNkulunkulu anikeze iphimbo nakwamanye amazwi amasha, ngoba njalo lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma, ushukumisa inhliziy0 yomuntu ezimpandeni zayo, futhi okungaphezulu kwalokho uphethe futhi usekela konke ukunyakaza nomzwelo womuntu, ukuze isintu siqale ukwethembela futhi nangokwengeziwe sibheke emazwini kaNkulunkulu…. Ngale ndlela, ngokungazi, abantu abaningi kakhulu ngokukhulu base bekhohliwe yiBhayibheli, futhi baze banikeza ukunaka okuncane ngokwengeziwe ezintshumayelweni nemibhalo eyisidala yabantu bokomoya, ngoba babengakwazi ukuthola emibhalweni yesikhathi esedlule noma yisiphi isisekelo sala mazwi kaNkulunkulu, futhi babengakwazi ukuthola noma kuphi inhloso kaNkulunkulu ekukhulumeni la mazwi. Njengoba kunje, ngabe kwakudingeka kangakanani ukuba isintu sivume ukuthi la mazwi ayiphimbo likaNkulunkulu elalingakaze libonakale noma lizwakale kulokhu kwaqala isikhathi, ukuthi akude nanoma imuphi umuntu okholwa kuNkulunkulu, nokuthi edlula onke amazwi akhulunywe noma yimuphi umuntu ongokomoya owayephila endulo noma nguNkulunkulu esikhathini esedlule. Sikhuthazwa yizwi ngalinye kulawa, isintu sangena singaboni emoyeni womsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele, ekuphileni ezigabeni eziphambili zenkathi entsha. Sigqugquzelwa ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu, isintu, sigcwele ukulangazelela, sezwa ubumnandi bokuholwa mathupha amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Ngikholwa ukuthi lesi sikhathi esedlulayo siyisikhathi wonke umuntu oyosikhumbula ngenkumbulo engapheli, lapho empeleni lokho isintu esakuthokozela ngalesi sikhathi kwakungelutho olungaphezu komoya womsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele, noma umuntu angakubiza ngokuthi ukunambitheka okumnandi bokugcotshwe ngoshukela. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi, kusuka kuleli qophelo kuya phambili, sisengaphansi kokuqondiswa ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu, sisesemoyeni womsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele, isintu sasiholelwa singazi kwesinye isigaba samazwi kaNkulunkulu, okuyisinyathelo sokuqala emsebenzini owenziwa yizwi likaNkulunkulu eNkathini Yombuso—ukuvivinywa kwabenzi bomsebenzi.

       Amazwi akhulunywa ngaphambi kokuvivinywa kwabenzi bomsebenzi iningi lawo ayesesimweni sokuyala, ukunxusa, ukukhuza, nokuqondisa, futhi kwezinye izindawo ayesebenzisa indlela endala yokukhuluma eyayisetshenziswa eNkathini Yomusa—esebenzisa “Amadodana Ami” kulabo ababelandela uNkulunkulu ukuze kube lula esintwini ukusondela kuNkulunkulu, noma ukuze isintu sithathe ubudlelwane baso noNkulunkulu njengobusondelene. Ngale ndlela, noma ngabe yikuphi ukwahlulela uNkulunkulu akwenza ekuziqhayiseni kwesintu, ukuzidla, nezinye izimo zokukhohlakala, umuntu wayeyokwazi ukubhekana nakho futhi akwamukele ekubeni kwakhe “yindodana,” ngaphandle kokuba nokuphikisana namazwi “kaNkulunkulu uBaba,” ngaphezu kwawo isithembiso “uNkulunkulu uBaba” asenza “emadodaneni” Akhe sasingangatshazwa nhlobo. Ngalesi sikhathi, sonke isintu sathokozela ukuphila okukhululeke ezinkingeni njengokomntwana, futhi lokhu kwafeza inhloso kaNkulunkulu, engukuthi, lapho bengena ebudaleni, wayezoqala ukwenza ukwahlulela kubo. Lokhu futhi kwabeka isisekelo somsebenzi wokwahlulela isintu uNkulunkulu awuqala ngokusemthethweni eNkathini Yombuso. Ngenxa yokuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kulokhu kuba sesimweni somuntu ikakhulu ngukwahlulela nokunqoba sonke isintu, lapho umuntu egxilisa izinyawo zakhe phansi, uNkulunkulu ngokushesha wangena endleleni yomsebenzi Wakhe—emsebenzini ahlulela kuwo umuntu futhi amsole. Ngokubonakalayo, onke amazwi ngaphambi kokuvivinywa kwabenzi bomsebenzi akhulunywa ngenxa yokwedlula oguqukweni, inhloso yangempela ingekhona lokhu okwakubonakala iyikho. Inhloso eyayilangazelelwe nguNkulunkulu yayiwukuthi akwazi ngokushesha okukhulu ukuqala umsebenzi Wakhe ngokusemthethweni eNkathini Yombuso. Wayengafisi neze ukuqhubeka nokugqugquzela isintu ngokusifunza izintwana ezigcotshwe ushukela; kodwa, wayelangazelela ukubona ubuso bangempela bawo wonke umuntu phambi kwesihlalo Sakhe sokwahlulela, futhi ngokulangazelela okwengeziwe wayefisa ukubona isimo sangempela somqondo abantu ababeyoba naso emva kokulahlekelwa umusa Wakhe. Wayefisa ukubona kuphela imiphumela, hhayi inqubo. Kodwa ngaleso sikhathi akukho muntu owayeqonda inhloso kaNkulunkulu enokulangazela, ngoba inhliziyo yomuntu yayikhathazeka kuphela ngesiphetho sayo namathemba ekusasa. Akumangazi ukuthi ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu kwakuqondiswe isikhathi ngesikhathi, kuso sonke isintu. Kwaba kuphela lapho isintu, ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaNkulunkulu, siqala ukuphila impilo yabantu ejwayelekile lapho isimo somqondo kaNkulunkulu ngomuntu saguquka khona.

        U-1991 wawungunyaka ongajwayelekile; asiwubize lo nyaka “ngonyaka wegolide.” UNkulunkulu waqala umsebenzi omusha weNkathi Yombuso futhi waqondisa izwi Lakhe kuso sonke isintu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, isintu sathokozela ukufudumala okwakungakaze kubonakale futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, sezwa ubuhlungu obulandela ukwahlulela umuntu kukaNkulunkulu okungakaze kubonakale. Isintu sezwa ubumnandi obabungakaze baziwe futhi buzwakale, futhi ukwahlulela nokushiywa okwakungakaze kwaziwe, sengathi sasizuze uNkulunkulu, futhi kuphinde kube sengathi sasilahlekelwe uNkulunkulu. Ukuhlupheka unezinto nokuhlupheka ekwesweleni—le mizwa yaziwa kuphela yilabo abayizwe mathupha; iyinto umuntu angenakhono noma indlela yokuyichaza. Amanxeba alolu hlobo ayilokhu uNkulunkulu akubeke phezu kwawo wonke umuntu njengesimo sokuhlangenwe nakho nento yakhe engathinteki. Okuqukethwe ngamazwi akhulunywa nguNkulunkulu kulo nyaka empeleni kuhlukaniseka ngokwezigaba ezimbili: Esokuqala yingxenye lapho uNkulunkulu ehlela emhlabeni wabantu ukuze ameme isintu ukuba size phambi kwesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi njengezihambeli; okwesibili, ingxenye lapho isintu, sesidle saphuza sasutha, saqashwa khona nguNkulunkulu njengabenzi bomsebenzi. Empeleni akudingi nakushiwo ukuthi ingxenye yokuqala iyisifiso esithandeka nesiqotho kakhulu, ikakhulu ngoba abantu sebejwayele isikhathi eside ukwenza ukuthokozela konke okukaNkulunkulu kube yiwona mgomo wokukholwa Kuye. Kungakho, lapho uNkulunkulu eqala nje ukukhuluma izwi Lakhe, isintu sonke sasikulungele ukungena embusweni futhi salindela lapho ukuba uNkulunkulu ethule imiklomelo ehlukene kuso. Abantu kulezi zimo abazange nhlobo bazikhandle ngokufanele ngokuguqula izimo zabo, ukufuna ukwanelisa uNkulunkulu, ukukhombisa ukucabangela intando kaNkulunkulu, njalo njalo. Ngokubuka okukha phezulu, abantu babebonakala behlala bephithizela ngenkathi bezikhandla futhi besebenzela uNkulunkulu, lapho empeleni babeceba, phakathi ekufihlakaleni kwezinhliziyo zabo, isinyathelo esilandelayo okwakumele basithathe ukuze bazuze izibusiso noma babuse njengamakhosi. Umuntu angasho ukuthi, ngenkathi inhliziyo yomuntu ithokozela uNkulunkulu, ngaso leso sikhathi yayibalisisa lapho kuya kuNkulunkulu. Isintu kulesi simo sihlangana nokucasuka nokwenyanya okujulile kukaNkulunkulu; isimo sikaNkulunkulu asimbekezeleli umuntu omkhohlisayo noma omsebenzisayo. Kodwa ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu akufinyeleleki kunoma yimuphi umuntu. Kwakuphakathi kokubekezelela konke lokhu kuhlupheka lapho akhuluma khona ingxenye yokuqala yamazwi Akhe. Ukuthi kungakanani ukuhlupheka uNkulunkulu akubekezelela, nokuthi kungakanani ukunakekela nokucabanga akukhipha ngalesi sikhathi, akukho muntu okwazi ukukucabanga. Inhloso yengxenye yokuqala yala mazwi ukuveza zonke izimo ezehlukene zobubi okukhonjiswa umuntu lapho ebhekene nesikhundla nenzuzo, nokuveza ubugovu nokudeleleka komuntu. Noma ngabe, ekukhulumeni, uNkulunkulu uhlela amazwi Akhe ngephimbo eliqotho neliqinile likamama onothando, ulaka olusekujuleni kwenhliziyo Yakhe luvutha njengelanga lesemini aliqondise ezitheni Zakhe. UNkulunkulu akazimisele noma kuziphi izimo ukukhuluma neqembu labantu abantula umfanekiso ojwayelekile wesintu, ngakho, noma nini lapho ekhuluma, ucindezela ulaka oluphakathi enhliziyweni Yakhe ngenkathi ngesikhathi esifanayo ezithiba ukuze akhiphe izwi Lakhe. Okungaphezu kwalokhu, ukhuluma nesintu esintula ubuntu obejwayekile, esingenakho ukucabanga, esikhohlakele kakhulu, nobugovu buyimvelo yaso yesibili, futhi asilaleli siphinde sihlubuke uNkulunkulu kuze kube sekugcineni. Ukujula uhlanga lwesintu oluwele kukho kucabangeka kalula, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho ukwenyanya nokucasuka kukaNkulunkulu ngesintu kucabangeka kalula, kodwa isintu sinobunzima bokucabanga ukuthi ukulimala esikulethe kuNkulunkulu akunakuchazeka ngamazwi. Kodwa kwakukulesi simo—lapho kungekho muntu owakwazi ukuthola indlela inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu ehlupheka ngayo, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho akekho owathola indlela umuntu angacabangi futhi angalungiseki ngayo—ukuthi wonke umuntu ngamunye, ngaphandle kokuba namahloni namancane noma nechashazi lokungabaza, wakuthatha kalula nje ukuthi wayenelungelo njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu lokwamukela yonke imiklomelo ayeyilungiselelwe umuntu, kuze kube ngisho seqophelweni lokuncintisana, kungekho muntu ofisa ukusala emuva futhi bonke besaba ngokujulile ukungatholi lutho. Kufanele ukuba usuyazi manje ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo lwesikhundla abantu ngaleso sikhathi ababekuso emehlweni kaNkulunkulu. Isintu esinjengalesi singayithola kanjani imiklomelo kaNkulunkulu? Kodwa lokho umuntu akwamukela kuNkulunkulu ngazo zonke izikhathi kungumcebo oyigugu elikhulu, futhi ngokuphambene lokho uNkulunkulu akwamukela kumuntu kuwubuhlungu obukhulu. Kulokhu kwasuka ekuqaleni kobudlelwane phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu, lokhu kuyilokhu umuntu ahlala ekwamukela kuNkulunkulu nalokho akubuyisela kuNkulunkulu.

        Nakuba uNkulunkulu wayevutha ngokukhathazeka, lapho ebona lolu hlanga lwabantu, olukhohlakele ngokuphelele, wayengenakho angakwenza ngaphandle kokuluphonsa echibini lomlilo ukuze lucwengwe. Lokhu kuyingxenye yesibili yezwi likaNkulunkulu, lapho uNkulunkulu aqasha khona isintu njengabenzi bomsebenzi. Kule ngxenye, uNkulunkulu wasuka kokuthambile waya kokunesihluku, nakokumbalwa waya kokuningi, ngokwakho kokubili indlela yokwenza kanye nobude, esebenzisa isikhundla “somuntu kaNkulunkulu” njengokuyenga ukuze aveze imvelo yomuntu ekhohlakele ngesikhathi esifanayo ethula izigaba ezehlukene[a]zabenzi bomsebenzi, abantu, namadodana ukuze abantu bakhethe kuzo. Ngempela, njengoba uNkulunkulu ayebikezele, akekho owakhetha ukuba ngumenzi womsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, futhi kunalokho bonke balwela ukuba ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Ngisho noma, ngalesi sikhathi, isihluku uNkulunkulu ayekhuluma ngaso sasiyinto abantu ababengayilindele futhi bengakaze bezwe ngaso, noma kunjalo, ngokukhathazeka ngokwedlulele ngesikhundla futhi, phezu kwalokho, benake ngokwedlulele ukuzuza izibusiso, babengenasikhathi sokwakha umbono ngephimbo lokukhuluma likaNkulunkulu, kunalokho babelokhu bezimisele kakhulu ngesikhundla sabo nangalokho ikusasa elibaphathele khona. Ngale ndlela, isintu salethwa, singaboni, ngezwi likaNkulunkulu enkimbinkimbini ayeyibekele sona. Bekhangwe, bethanda bengathandi, yihuha lekusasa nesiphetho sabo, abantu babezazi bengakulungele ukuba ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu, kodwa futhi babengabaza ukwenza njengabenzi bomsebenzi. Bedonseka phakathi kwemiqondo ephikisanayo, bavuma benganakile ukwahlulela nokusola okwakungakaze kwenzeke uNkulunkulu akwenza kumuntu. Ngokwemvelo, lolu hlobo lokwahlulela nokucwenga lwaluyinto isintu esasingazimisele nakanjani ukulwamukela. Noma kunjalo, nguNkulunkulu kuphela onokuhlakanipha, futhi nguye kuphela onamandla, okuphoqelela ukuthoba kokuzehlisa kulolu hlanga lwabantu olukhohlakele, ukuze, bezimisele noma bengazimisele, bavume ekugcineni. Isintu asinakho okunye esingakhetha kukho. NguNkulunkulu kuphela onezwi lokugcina. Futhi nguNkulunkulu kuphela owazi ukusebenzisa indlela yokwenza efana nalena yokunikeza iqiniso nokuphila kumuntu futhi amkhombise indlela. Le ndlela yokwenza ingukungagwemeki komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu phezu komuntu, futhi, ngaphandle kokungabaza nokuphikiswa, iyisidingo somuntu esingenakuphikiswa. UNkulunkulu usebenzisa indlela yokwenza efana nalena ukukhuluma nokusebenza ukuze adlulisele leli qiniso esintwini: Ekusindiseni isintu, uNkulunkulu wenza lokhu ngenxa yothando nomusa Wakhe nangenxa yokuphatha Kwakhe; ekwamukeleni insindiso kaNkulunkulu, isintu sikwenza lokho ngenxa yokuthi sesiwele eqophelweni lapho uNkulunkulu engakwazi ukwenza okunye ngaphandle kokukhuluma mathupha. Lapho umuntu amukela insindiso kaNkulunkulu, lona ngumusa omkhulu kakhulu, futhi kungumusa okhethekile, okusho ukuthi, ukuba uNkulunkulu wayenganikanga iphimbo lakhe mathupha ezwini Lakhe, isiphetho sesintu sasiyoba ukushabalala. Ngesikhathi esifanayo nalapho enyanya khona isintu, uNkulunkulu usalungele futhi usazimisele ukukhokha noma yiliphi inani ngensindiso yomuntu. Kuleso sikhathi, lapho umuntu ephindaphinda ukukhuluma ngothando lwakhe lukaNkulunkulu nangendlela anikela ngayo konke kuNkulunkulu, uyamhlubuka uNkulunkulu futhi uphoqelela ukuthola lonke uhlobo lomusa kuNkulunkulu, futhi aze, ngesikhathi esifanayo, alimaze uNkulunkulu futhi alethe ubuhlungu obungenakuchazwa enhliziyweni Yakhe. Unjena umehluko omkhulu phakathi kobudlelwane obunokuzidela nobunokuzicabangela phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu!

       Ekusebenzeni nasekukhulumeni, uNkulunkulu akavimbekile ekulandeleni noma iyiphi indlela, kodwa wenza inhloso Yakhe ibe ukuthola imiphumela. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, kule ngxenye yamazwi Akhe, uNkulunkulu wenze isiqiniseko sokuthi angawubeki obala umfanekiso Wakhe ngokucacile, kodwa aveze kuphela amazwi ambalwa anjengathi “uKristu wezinsuku zokugcina,” “iNhloko yezulu nomhlaba,” njalo njalo. Lokho akuthinti nangayiphi indlela inkonzo kaKristu noma ukwazi kwesintu uNkulunkulu, ikakhulu ngenxa yokuthi isintu ngalezo nsuku zokuqala sasingazi lutho nhlobo ngemiqondo “kaKristu” kanye “nokuba sesimweni somuntu,” okwenza uNkulunkulu azehlise ukuze abe umuntu “onomsebenzi okhethekile” ukuze akhulume izwi Lakhe. Lokhu kuyisiboniso senhloso enokucophelela kaNkulunkulu, ngoba abantu ngaleso sikhathi babekwazi kuphela ukwamukela lolu hlobo lokukhuluma. Noma yiluphi uhlobo lokukhuluma uNkulunkulu alusebenzisayo, imiphumela yomsebenzi Wakhe ayithinteki, ngoba kukho konke akwenzayo uNkulunkulu uhlose ukwenza umuntu aguquke, ukwenza umuntu athole insindiso kaNkulunkulu. Noma ngabe wenzani, uNkulunkulu uhlala enezidingo zomuntu emqondweni. Lokhu kuyinhloso yokusebenza nokukhuluma kukaNkulunkulu. Noma ngabe uNkulunkulu unaka ngokugcwele ekucabangeni zonke izingxenye zesintu, futhi uhlakaniphe kakhulu kukho konke akwenzayo, ngingasho lokhu: Ukuba uNkulunkulu akazifakazelanga Ngokwakhe, kwakungeke kube noyedwa phakathi kwesintu esidaliwe okwazi ukubona uNkulunkulu Ngokwakhe noma ukuma ukuze afakaze ngoNkulunkulu Ngokwakhe. Ukuba uNkulunkulu wayelokhu esebenzisa “umuntu onomsebenzi okhethekile” njengendlela yokukhuluma emsebenzini Wakhe, kwakungeke kube khona noyedwa umuntu owayengabona uNkulunkulu njengoNkulunkulu—lokhu kuwusizi lomuntu. Lokho kusho ukuthi, phakathi kohlanga lwabantu abadaliwe akukho muntu ongazi uNkulunkulu, akekho othanda uNkulunkulu, akekho okhathazeka ngoNkulunkulu, nosondela kuNkulunkulu. Ukholo lomuntu ngolokuzuza izibusiso kuphela. Umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu njengomuntu onomsebenzi okhethekile unikeze ukusikisela kuwo wonke umuntu ngamunye: Isintu sikuthola kulula ukuthatha uNkulunkulu njengomunye phakathi kohlanga lwabantu abadaliwe; ubuhlungu nokwehliswa okukhulu kakhulu umuntu akuletha kuNkulunkulu kuwukuthi, lapho ebonakala ngokuvulekile noma esebenza, uNkulunkulu usalahlwa ngumuntu futhi aze akhohlwe nguye. UNkulunkulu ubekezelela ukwehliswa okukhulu ukuze asindise isintu; ekunikeni konke, inhloso Yakhe ukusindisa isintu, ukuthola ukubonwa ngabantu. Inani uNkulunkulu alikhokhile ngenxa yakho konke lokhu liyinto wonke umuntu ononembeza okufanele ayazise. Isintu sesithole ukukhuluma nokusebenza kukaNkulunkulu, futhi sazuza insindiso kaNkulunkulu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, akukafiki kumuntu ukuthi abuze lokhu: Futhi yikuphi okuzuzwe nguNkulunkulu esintwini? Kulelo nalelo zwi likaNkulunkulu, isintu sizuze iqiniso, siphumelele ukuguquka, sithole indlela empilweni; kodwa lokho okuzuzwe nguNkulunkulu akukho ngaphezu kwamazwi akweletwa Yena kanye nokuhleba okumbalwa okuzwakala kancane kokudumisa. Nakanjani lokhu akukhona ukubuyisela lokho uNkulunkulu akufunayo kumuntu?

        Nakuba amazwi kaNkulunkulu amaningi esekhulunyiwe manje, iningi labantu basalokhu bemi esigabeni esimelwe ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni ekwazini kwabo nasekuqondeni kwabo uNkulunkulu, abangakasuki kukho baye phambili—lesi ngempela yisihloko esibuhlungu. Le ngxenye “yaMazwi kaKristu Ekuqaleni” iyisihluthulelo nje sokuvula inhliziyo yomuntu; ukuma lapha kuwukusilela kude kakhulu nokugcwalisa inhloso kaNkulunkulu. Inhloso kaNkulunkulu ekukhulumeni le ngxenye yamazwi Akhe kuphela iwukukhipha isintu eNkathini Yomusa isifake eNkathini Yombuso; akafisi neze ukuba isintu silokhu simile kule ngxenye yamazwi Akhe noma size sithathe le ngxenye yamazwi Akhe njengesiqondiso, uma kungenjalo amazwi kaNkulunkulu angesikhathi esizayo ayengeke adingeke noma abe nomqondo. Uma kukhona ongakakwazi ukungena kulokho uNkulunkulu afuna ukuthi umuntu akuthole kule ngxenye yamazwi Akhe, khona-ke ukungena kwalowo muntu kuhlala kungaziwa. Le ngxenye yamazwi kaNkulunkulu iqukethe imfuneko eyisisekelo kakhulu uNkulunkulu ayifuna kumuntu ngeNkathi Yombuso, futhi iwukuphela kwendlela isintu esiyongena ngayo endleleni efanele. Uma ungumuntu ongaqondi lutho, khona-ke kungakuhle uqale ngokufunda amazwi akule ngxenye!

Isahluko 12

Uma unyazi lushaya luqhamuka ngaseMpumalanga—okuyisona sikhathi futhi engiqala ngaso ukukhuluma—ngalo mzuzu unyazi luyeza, kukhanye izulu nomhlaba, bese ziyaqala ziguquke nezinkanyezi. Kuba sengathi bonke abantu bayahlanzwa bahlungwe. Ngaphansi kokukhanya komsebe wokukhanya okuqhamuka eMpumalanga, bonke abantu bavela esimweni sabo sokuqala sokudalwa, amehlo emangele, bedidekile; nalapho abakwazi ukufihla izici zabo ezimbi. Futhi, baphinde bafane nezilwane zibalekela ukukhanya Kwami ziyocasha emigedeni esezintabeni; kodwa akekho namunye phakathi kwabo ongeke angabonakali ekukhanyeni Kwami. Bonke abantu bamangele, bonke balindile, bonke bayabukela; ukuthi ngokufika kokukhanya Kwami, bonke bajabule ngosuku abazalwa ngalo, kanjalo bonke baqalekisa usuku abazalwa ngalo. Kunzima ukuchaza imizwa ephikisanayo; izinyembezi zokuzijezisa zenza imifula, zimuke nezikhukhula, zingabonakali nangokhalo. Futhi usuku lwami luyasondela kubantu, futhi luvusa abantu, lunika isintu indawo yokuqala kabusha. Inhliziyo Yami iyashaya, ngokulandela ukushaya kwenhliziyo Yami, izintaba zigxuma ngentokozo, imifula inyakaze ngenjabulo, namagagasi, egcina isikhathi, ashaye emadwaleni. Kunzima ukuchaza okusenhliziyweni Yami. Ngifuna ukuthi zonke izinto ezingcolile zishe zibe umlotha ngibhekile, ngifuna ukuthi wonke amadodana angalaleli anyamalale phambi kwamehlo Ami, bangabe besaba khona. Angenzanga kuphela indawo entsha yokuhlala endaweni ehlala udrako omkhulu obomvu, kodwa ngiqale umsebenzi omusha emhlabeni. Maduze imibuso yomhlaba izoba yimibuso Yami; maduze imibuso yasemhlabeni izophela ngenxa yombuso Wami, ngoba senginqobile, ngoba sengibe umnqobi. Udrako omkhulu obomvu usephelelwe yizo zonke izindlela zokuphazamisa uhlelo Lwami, unethemba lokuzosusa umsebenzi Wami emhlabeni, kodwa ingabe kumele ngiphelelwe amandla ngenxa yamasu akhe akhohlisayo? Kumele ngisabe ngiphelelwe ukuzethemba ngenxa yokukhohlisa kwakhe? Akekho noyedwa ezulwini noma emhlabeni ongekho entendeni yesandla Sami; kangakanani ke udrako omkhulu obomvu, owenza okuyisiphazamiso Kimi? Nakho akuyona into engingayisebenzisa ngezandla Zami?

        Ngesikhathi Sami sokuba senyameni emhlabeni wabantu, abantu bafika bengazi ngalolu suku beholwa yisandla Sami, bangazi lutho Ngami. Kodwa ukuthi bazoyihamba kanjani indlela engaphambili, akekho owaziyo, akekho onakile, kanjalo futhi akekho owaziyo ukuthi leyo ndlela izomholela kuphi. Umuntu uzoyihamba aze ayiqede indlela ngenxa yokuthi uSomandla umbhekile; ukuholwa unyazi olungaseMpumalanga kuphela okungenza umuntu awelele embusweni Wami. Kubantu, akekho noyedwa oke wabona ubuso Bami, noyedwa owake wabona unyazi eMpumalanga; kangakanani-ke ngoyedwa owake wezwa izwi Lami livela esihlalweni Sami sobukhosi? Empeleni, kusukela ngezinsuku zakudala, akekho umuntu oke wahlangana Nami; yinamuhla kuphela, lapho sengize emhlabeni, lapho abantu bethole ithuba lokungibona. Kodwa ngisho namanje, abantu abakangazi, njengoba bebheka kuphela ubuso Bami bezwa nezwi Lami kuphela, kodwa bengaqondi ukuthi ngisho ukuthini. Bonke abantu banje. Ngenxa yokuthi ungomunye wabantu Bami, awuziqhenyi uma ubona ubuso Bami? Awubi namahloni ngenxa yokuthi awungazi? Ngihamba phakathi kwabantu, ngiphila phakathi kwabantu, ngoba ngibe yinyama ngeza emhlabeni wabantu. Inhloso Yami akukhona nje ukwenza isintu sibheke inyama Yami; okubaluleke kakhulu, ukwenza abantu bangazi. Phezu kwalokho, ngokuba Kwami senyameni, ngizolahla ngecala isintu ngenxa yezono zaso; ngesimo Sami senyama, ngizonqoba udrako omkhulu obomvu ngidilize isigodlo sakhe. 

Yize abantu abasemhlabeni bebaningi njengezinkanyezi, ngibazi kahle bonke njengokungathi ngibona intende yesandla Sami. Futhi, yize abantu “abangithandayo” nabo bebaningi njengezihlabathi zolwandle, bambalwa abakhethwe Yimi: yilabo kuphela abalandela ukukhanya, abangekho kulabo “abangithandayo.” Angibaphakamisi abantu, futhi angibathathi kancane; kodwa, izidingo Zami kumuntu ngizenza ngokwezimfanelo zakhe zokudalwa, ngakho-ke engikudingayo umuntu olungile ongifuna ngokweqiniso—lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthi ngiphumelele ekukhetheni abantu. Ziningi izilwane zasendle ezintabeni, kodwa zonke zibuthaka njengemvu phambi Kwami; ziningi izimfihlakalo ezingaqondakali ngaphansi kolwandle, kodwa ziziveza Kimi njengazo zonke izinto ezisebusweni bomhlaba; ezulwini phezulu kunezindawo umuntu angeke afinyelele kuzo, kodwa ngihamba ngikhululeke kulezo zindawo okungangenwa kuzo. Abantu abakaze bangazi ekukhanyeni, kodwa bangibone kuphela emhlabeni wobumnyama. Awukho esimweni esifana ncamashi nalesi namuhla? Kwakuyisikhathi sovuthondaba ngisempini nodrako omkhulu obomvu lapho ngagqoka khona inyama ukuze ngenze umsebenzi Wami. Kwakuyisikhathi lapho udrako omkhulu obomvu aveza isimo sakhe okokuqala okwenza ngafakazela igama Lami. Uma ngihamba emigwaqeni yabantu, akekho namunye, akekho noyedwa umuntu, owethuka waphaphama, ngakho-ke ngathi sengiyinyama emhlabeni wabantu, akekho owakwazi lokho. Kodwa ngenkathi, ngisenyameni, ngaqala ukwenza umsebenzi Wami, sase siyaphaphama isintu, sethuka emaphusheni aso sethuswa ukuduma kwezwi Lami, ukusukela ngaleso sikhathi saqala impilo siholwa Yimi. Phakathi kwabantu Bami, sengiqale omunye umsebenzi omusha. Njengoba ngishilo ukuthi umsebenzi Wami emhlabeni awukapheli, lokhu kwanele ukufakazela ukuthi labo bantu engakhuluma ngabo ngaphambilini akubona labo engibabone njengabadingayo, kodwa noma kunjalo nabo ngisababala kubo laba bantu. Kulokhu kuyacaca ukuthi ngenza lokhu hhayi ngoba ngifuna ukwenza abantu Bami bazi uNkulunkulu osenyameni, kodwa ngikwenza ukuze ngihlanze abantu Bami. Ngenxa yobunzulu bezinqumo Zami zokuphatha, abantu abaningi basasengozini yokuthi ngibasuse. Ngaphandle uma uzama ngakho konke ukuzilungisa, unqobe umzimba wakho, ngaphandle kokwenza lokhu, uzoba ngokunye kwengikuzondayo nengikulahlayo, engizokulahlela esihogweni, ngendlela uPawulu athola ukujeziswa yizandla Zami, lapho okwakungekho ukubaleka. Ingabe kukhona okutholile emazwini Ami? Njengasekuqaleni, kuseyinhloso Yami ukuhlanza ibandla, ukuqhubeka nokungcwalisa abantu engibadingayo, ngoba nginguNkulunkulu uqobo, ongcwele nomsulwa. Ngizokwenza ithempeli Lami lingabi nemibala yothingo nje kuphela, kodwa libe msulwa lingabi nabala, ingaphakathi lifane nengaphandle lalo. Ebukhoneni Bami, kumele nonke nicabange nibheke emuva kwenikwenzile, ninqume ukuthi namuhla ninganginika yini ukweneliseka okuphelele enhliziyweni Yami. 

Akukhona ukuthi abantu abangazi ngisenyameni; okubi nakakhulu bahlulekile ukuziqonda bona uqobo njengabasemzimbeni wenyama. Sekuyiminyaka emingaki, futhi kuyo yonke le minyaka abantu bayangimbuluzela, bengiphathisa okwesihambi sangaphandle? Sebengivalele kangaki ngaphandle komnyango emakhaya abo? Sekukangaki beme phambi Kwami, kodwa benganginakile? Sebengiphike kangakaki phakathi kwabantu? Sebengiphike kangaki phambi kukasathane? Sebengihlasele kangakaki ngemilomo yabo? Noma kunjalo angibabaleli ubuthaka babo, futhi angibabaleli ukungalaleli kwabo ngithi izinyo ngezinyo. Engikwenzile nje, ukufaka umuthi ekuguleni kwakhe, ukuze ngelaphe isifo sakhe esingalapheki, bese ngimbuyisela ekuphileni, hleze uzongazi. Akusikho ukuthi konke engikwenzile ngikwenzele ukuthi abantu baphile, ngikwenzele ukunika abantu ithuba lokuphila? Izikhathi eziningi ngifikile emhlabeni wabantu, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi kuze Mina uqobo emhlabeni, abantu abazange banginake; kunalokho, yilowo nalowo ubezenzela akubona kulungile, ezifunela ngokwakhe indlela yokuphuma. Ukube bayazi ukuthi yonke imigwaqo engaphansi kwamazulu iphuma ezandleni Zami! Ukube bayazi ukuthi konke okungaphansi kwamazulu kugcotshwe Yimi! Ubani kini ofuna ukugcina intukuthelo enhliziyweni yakhe? Ubani kini olingayo ukufika kalula esivumelwaneni? Kade ngilokhu ngiqhubeka nomsebenzi Wami ngokuthula phakathi kwesintu, kuphelela lapho. Ngesikhathi ngisenyameni, ukube angizange ngibe nandaba nobuthakathaka bomuntu, ngabe sonke isintu, ngokuba Kwami semzimbeni wenyama, besiyokwethuka bese siwela eHayidesi. Yingoba ngizehlisile ngazifihla okwenze abantu basinde enhlekeleleni, bakhululwa esijezisweni Sami, ngaleyo ndlela bakwazi ukufika kulolu suku. Uma wazi ukuthi kwakunzima kanjani ukufika osukwini lwanamuhla, akumele ngabe ulazisa kakhulu ikusasa elizayo?
