Into yesibili amazinga okushisa nokubanda. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi ayini amazinga okushisa nokubanda. Amazinga okushisa nokubanda yinto leyo indawo efanele ukuphila abantu okumele ibe nayo. Uma amazinga okushisa ephezulu kakhulu, ake sithi uma amazinga okushisa engaphezulu kwama-degrees Celsius angama-40, lokho bekungeke yini kuqede abantu? Bekungeke yini kukhathaze kubo ukuphila? Yini engenzeka uma amazinga okushisa ephansi kakhulu, efika kuma-degrees Celsius angaphansi kwezinga-qhwa elingama-40? Abantu bebengeke bakwazi ukuwamela. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu wayecophelela kakhulu ekubekeni lawa mazinga okushisa nokubanda. Amazinga okushisa lawo umzimba womuntu ongamelana nawo yilawo angaphansi kwama-degrees Celsius angama-30 ukufinyelela kwangama-40. Lawa amazinga okushisa nokubanda ayisisekelo kusukela enyakatho kuye eningizimu. Ezindaweni ezibandayo, amazinga okushisa nokubanda angehla afike cishe kuma-degrees Celsius angaphansi kwezinga-qhwa elingama-50 kuya ku-60. Indawo enjalo akuyona indawo uNkulunkulu avumela abantu ukuba bahlale kuyo. Kungani kunezindawo ezibanda kangako? Phakathi kulokhu kunokuhlakanipha nezinhloso zikaNkulunkulu. Akakuvumeli ukuba usondele eduze kwalezo zindawo. UNkulunkulu uyazivikela izindawo ezishisa kakhulu nezibanda kakhulu, ngokuthi angavumeli abantu bahlale lapho. Akuyona indawo yokuhlala isintu. Kungani avumela izindawo ezinjalo ukuba zibe khona emhlabeni? Uma uNkulunkulu ubengeke avumele abantu ukuhlala lapho noma babe khona lapho, manje kungani uNkulunkulu ezidalile? Kulokhu kunokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu. Kusho ukuthi, amazinga okushisa ayisisekelo endawo yokuphila abantu alungiswe ngokufanele nguNkulunkulu. Kunomthetho futhi lapha. UNkulunkulu udale ezinye izinto ukuthi zikwazi ukumelana namazinga okushisa nokubanda anjalo, ukulawula la mazinga okushisa nokubanda. Yiziphi izinto ezisetshenziswayo ukugcina la mazinga okushisa nokubanda? Okokuqala, ilanga lingalethela abantu ukufudumala, kodwa abantu bangakwazi ukulimela uma lifudumele kakhulu? Ingabe ukhona ongalokotha asondele elangeni? Ingabe kukhona into emhlabeni engasondela kakhulu elangeni? (Cha.) Kungani kungenjalo? Lishisa kakhulu. Kuzoncibilika lapho kusondela kakhulu elangeni. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu wenze isilinganiso esithile sebanga lelanga esiqhelile kubantu. Wenze umsebenzi othile. UNkulunkulu unendinganiso yaleli banga. Kukhona futhi nendawo engasekugcineni komhlaba ngaseNingizimu nangaseNyakatho. Kunezintaba zeqhwa kuphela lapho. Ingabe isintu singahlala eqhweni? Ingabe ikulungele ukuhlalwa ngabantu? (Cha.) Cha, ngakho abantu angeke baye lapho. Njengoba abantu bengayi lapho ezindaweni ezingasekugcineni komhlaba ngaseNingizimu nangaseNyakatho, amaqhwa azolondolozeka, futhi azokwazi ukudlala indima yawo, yokulawula amazinga okushisa nokubanda. Niyathola? Uma ngabe akukho zindawo ezingasekugcineni komhlaba ngaseNingizimu nangaseNyakatho futhi ilanga lihlala njalo likhanyise umhlaba, bonke abantu emhlabeni bangafa ukushisa. Ingabe uNkulunkulu usebenzisa nje lezi zinto ezimbili ukulawula amazinga okushisa nokubanda afanele ukuphila kwabantu? Cha, kukhona nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo, ezinjengotshani esigangeni, izinhlobo ezahlukene zezihlahla nazo zonke izinhlobo zezitshalo emahlathini ezidonsa ukushisa kwelanga futhi, lapho zenza lokho, zehlise amandla elanga okufudumala ngendlela elawula amazinga okushisa nokubanda endaweni isintu esihlala kuyona. Kukhona nemithombo yamanzi, njengemifula namachibi. Indawo yemifula namachibi akuyona into enganqunywa nayinoma ngubani. Akekho ongalawula ukuthi angakanani amanzi asemhlabeni, lapho amanzi agelezela khona, indlela agelezela kuyo, umthamo wamanzi, noma isivinini agijima ngaso? UNkulunkulu kuphela owaziyo. Le mithombo eyehlukene yamanzi, kuhlanganise namanzi angaphansi komhlaba nemifula namachibi angaphezu komhlaba lawo abantu abangawabona, angalawula amazinga okushisa nokubanda alapho abantu bahlala khona. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunezinhlobo eziningi zokwakheka kokuma kwezwe, njengezintaba, amathafa, izigodi namaxhaphozi; Lokhu kwakheka kokuma kwezwe okwahlukene nezindawo nobukhulu bakho konke kubamba iqhaza ukulawula amazinga okushisa nokubanda. Ngokwesibonelo, uma intaba inobubanzi bamakhilomitha ayikhulu, lawo makhilomitha ayikhulu azonikela ngokubaluleka okulingana namakhilomitha ayikhulu. Ukuthi zingaki nje izintaba eziwukhahlamba ezinjalo nezigodi uNkulunkulu azidalile emhlabeni, lokhu yinto uNkulunkulu ayicabangisisile. Ngamanye amazwi, kukho konke okukhona okudalwe nguNkulunkulu kunenjongo ethile, kanti futhi kuqukethe ukuhlakanipha namasu kaNkulunkulu. Ake sithi, ngokwesibonelo, amahlathi nazo zonke izinhlobo zezimila—ibanga kanye nobukhulu bendawo lapho zihlala futhi zikhula khona ngeke kulawulwe umuntu, futhi umuntu akanalo izwi lokugcina kulezi zinto. Ukuthi zimunca amanzi angakanani, ukuthi zidonsa amandla angakanani okushisa elangeni nakho kungelawulwe yinoma yimuphi umuntu. Zonke lezi zinto zisendaweni lapho zahlelwa khona uNkulunkulu ngenkathi edala zonke izinto.

Kungenxa yokuhlela kungokucophelela, ukucabanga, nangamalungiselelo kaNkulunkulu kuphela kuzo zonke izinto umuntu angahlala endaweni enamazinga afanele kangaka okushisa nokubanda. Ngakho-ke, yonke into umuntu ayibonayo ngamehlo akhe, njengelanga, izindawo ezingasekugcineni komhlaba ngaseNingizimu nangaseNyakatho abantu abahlala bezwa ngazo, kanye nezinto ezahlukene eziphila ngaphezulu nangaphansi komhlaba kanye nasemanzini, nezindawo zamahlathi nezinye izinhlobo zezimila, nemithombo yamanzi, izinhlobonhlobo zamachibi, ubungako bamanzi asolwandle namanzi ahlanzekile akhona, kanye nezindawo zokuma kwezwe ezahlukene—uNkulunkulu usebenzisa lezi zinto ukugcina amazinga okushisa nokubanda afanele ukuze abantu baphile. Lokhu kungokwempela. Kungenxa yokucabangela kukaNkulunkulu kuphela ukuthi umuntu angaphila endaweni enalawo mazinga okushisa nokubanda afanele. Angeke kubande kakhulu noma kushise kakhulu: Izindawo ezishisa kakhulu lapho amazinga okushisa edlula lokho umzimba womuntu ongakumela azilungiselelwe wena uNkulunkulu. Izindawo ezibanda kakhulu lapho amazinga okushisa nokubanda ephansi kakhulu; izindawo, lapho kungathi abantu uma befika khona, zibenze babe yiqhwa emizuzwini nje embalwa baze bangakwazi nokukhuluma, ubuchopho babo bungaba yiqhwa, ngeke bakwazi ukucabanga futhi bangaphelelwa umoya masinyane—izindawo ezinjalo azilungiselelwanga isintu nguNkulunkulu. Noma ngabe yiluphi ucwaningo abantu abafuna ukulwenza, noma ngabe bafuna ukuqamba kabusha noma bafuna ukuveza imikhawulo ethize—noma ngabe yini abantu abayicabangayo, angeke bakwazi ukweqa imikhawulo yalokho umzimba womuntu omiselwe ukukumela. Angeke bakwazi ukususa le mikhawulo uNkulunkulu ayidalele umuntu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu adala abantu, futhi uNkulunkulu wazi kangcono ukuthi yimaphi amazinga okushisa umzimba womuntu ongamelana nawo. Kodwa abantu ngokwabo abazi. Kungani ngithi abantu abazi? Yiziphi izinto eziwubuwula ezenziwe ngabantu? Akuzange yini kube khona idlanzana labantu abahlala befuna ukuya ezindaweni ezingasekugcineni komhlaba ngaseNyakatho nangaseNingizimu? Abantu abanjalo yilokhu bahlala befuna ukuya kulezo ndawo ukuze bahlale endawenikulowo mhlaba, ukuze bazinze lapho. Kuyoba yisenzo esingenangqondo. Ngisho ngabe uwacwaninge kahle amachopho omhlaba, bese kwenzekani-ke? Noma ungawamela amazinga okushisa nokubanda, futhi ukwazi ukuphila lapho, kungasihlomulisa yini isintu ngandlela thize uma “ungenza ngcono” isimo samanje sokuphila kwechopho laseNingizimu nelaseNyakatho? Isintu sinendawo esingaphila kuyona, nokho abantu abahlali lapho ngokuthula nangokuthobeka, kodwa kunalokho, bayaphikelela ekuyeni ezindaweni abangeke baphile kuzo. Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Badiniwe ukuhlala kula mazinga okushisa nokubanda afanele. Bajabulela izibusiso eziningi. Ngaphandle kwalokhu, le ndawo ejwayelekile yokuhlala yonakaliswe impela yisintu, bangavele nje baye endaweni esekugcineni komhlaba eseNingizimu neseNyakatho ukudala omunye umonakalo noma ukuzibandakanya kwesinye “isenzo,” ukuze babe “amavulandlela” athize. Ingabe akubona ubuwula lobu? Lokho kusho ukuthi, ngaphansi kobuholi bukakhokho waso uSathane, lesi sintu siyaqhubeka nokwenza izinto ezingenangqondo enye emva kwenye, ngokungakhathali nangokunganakile sibhubhisa ikhaya elihle uNkulunkulu alidalele isintu. Lokhu yilokho okwenziwe uSathane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho bebona ukuthi ukuphila kwesintu emhlabeni kusengozini encane, abantu abaningana bafuna ukuthola izindlela zokuyohlala enyangeni, ukuthola indlela yokuya beyobona ukuthi bangahlala yini lapho. Ekugcineni, umoya-mpilo awukho enyangeni. Ingabe abantu bangaphila ngaphandle komoya-mpilo? Njengoba inyanga ingenawo umoya-mpilo, akuyona indawo abantu abangahlala kuyo, kodwa abantu balokhu befuna ukuya lapho. Kuyini lokhu? Ukuzibulala, angithi? Indawo engenawo umoya, futhi namazinga okushisa nokubanda awafanele ukuphila komuntu, ngakho ayilungiselelwanga abantu nguNkulunkulu.

Isihloko sethu njengamanje, izinga lokushisa nokubanda, yinto abantu abahlangabezana nayo empilweni yabo yansukuzonke. Amazinga okushisa nokubanda yinto engezwiwa yiyo yonke imizimba yabantu, kodwa akekho ocabanga ukuthi la mazinga okushisa nokubanda aba khona kanjani, noma ubani ophethe nolawula la mazinga okushisa nokubanda afanele ukuphila kwabantu. Yilokhu esesizokwazi manje. Ingabe kukhona ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu ngaphakathi kwalokhu? Ukhona yini umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kulokhu? (Yebo.) Uma sicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu udale indawo yokuhlala namazinga okushisa nokubanda okufanele ukuphila kwabantu, akuyona yini enye yezindlela leyo uNkulunkulu enza ngayo zonke izinto? (Yebo.) Iyona.
