Abaningi bazothi kimina ngalolo suku, Nkosi, Nkosi, asizange siphrofethe ngegama lakho? Futhi sakhipha namadimoni ngegama lakho? Futhi ngegama lakho senza imisebenzi eminingi emihle? Khona-ke ngizobe sengifakaza kubo ngithi, anginazi: sukani kimi, nina enenza okubi” (NgokukaMathewu 7:21–23).

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

Nginquma isiphetho somuntu ngamunye hhayi ngokweminyaka, ubukhulu, izinga lokuhlupheka, lingasaphathwa izinga abamema ngalo ukudatshukelwa kodwa ngokuthi banalo yini iqiniso.

Ngaphambili kokuhlengwa komuntu, ubutha obuningi bukaSathane base bufakiwe kuye. Ngemva kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane yokonakala kukaSathane, umuntu usevele enemvelo kuye yokuphika uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, lapho umuntu esekhululiwe, akukho okungaphezu kokukhululwa kwakhe, lapho umuntu ethengwa khona ngenani eliphezulu, kodwa imvelo enobuthi kuye ingakasuswa. Umuntu osengcoliswe kangaka kumele aguquke kuqala ukuze afanele ukukhonza uNkulunkulu. Umuntu uyokwazi kahle ukungcola nokungalungi okukuye ngenxa yokwahlulela nokusola futhi uyokwazi ukuguquka bese ehlanzeka. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho umuntu eyokwazi khona ukubuyela ngaphambi kwesihlalo sikaNkulunkulu. Wonke umsebenzi owenziwe namuhla wenzelwe ukuba umuntu ahlanzwe futhi aguqulwe; ngokwahlulela nokusola ngezwi kanye nokucwengwa, umuntu angakuxosha ukonakala kuye bese ehlanzeka. Kunokuba kuthiwe lesi sigaba somsebenzi esensindiso kungafaneleka kangcono ukuthi kuthiwe umsebenzi wokuhlanzwa. Eqinisweni, lesi sigaba singesokunqoba nokuba yisigaba sesibili sensindiso.

Ezinsukwni zokugcina, uKristu usebenzisa amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo ukuze afundise abantu, adalule ubunjalo bomuntu, futhi acubungule amazwi kanye nezenzo zakhe. Lawa mazwi aqukethe amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo, njengomsebenzi womuntu, indlela umuntu okumele alalele uNkulunkulu ngayo, indlela umuntu okumele athembeke kuNkulunkulu ngayo, indlela umuntu okumele aphile ngayo ubuntu obujwayelekile, kanye nobuhlakani kanye nesimo sikaNkulunkulu, njalo njalo. Wonke la mazwi aqondiswe engqikithini yomuntu kanye nasesimweni sakhe esikhohlakele. Ikakhulukazi, lawo mazwi adalula ukuthi umuntu umala kanjani uNkulunkulu akhulunywa mayelana nokuthi ngakho okuphathelene nokuthi umuntu kungani umuntu eyisiqu sikaSathane futhi eyisitha sikaNkulunkulu. Ekwenzeni umsebenzi wakhe wokwahlulela, uNkulunkulu akenzi nje kucace imvelo yomuntu ngamazwana ambalwa; uyembula, abhekane, futhi athene esikhathini eside. Lezi zindlela zokwambula, ukubhekana, kanye nokuthena azikwazi ukushintshaniswa namagama avamile kodwa ngeqiniso umuntu angenalo nhlobo. Yizindlela zalolu hlobo kuphela okuthiwa ngukwahlulela; kungokwahlulela kohlobo olunje lapho umuntu engathotshiswa khona futhi enziwe akholwe ngokuphelele ukuba athobele uNkulunkulu, bese, ngaphezu kwalokho ezuza ulwazi oluyiqiniso ngoNkulunkulu. Okulethwa umsebenzi wokwahlulela ukuqonda komuntu ubuso bukaNkulunkulu beqiniso kanye neqiniso ngokuhlubuka kwakhe uqobo. Umsebenzi wokwahlulela wenza umuntu athole ukuqonda okuningi ngentando kaNkulunkulu, ngenjongo kaNkulunkulu, nezimfihlakalo ezingaqondakali kuye. Kuphinde kwenze umuntu abone futhi azi ubunjalo bakhe obukhohlakele kanye nomsuka wenkohlakalo yakhe, futhi aphinde akwazi ukubona ububi bomuntu. Le miphumela idalwa umsebenzi wokwahlulela, ngoba ingqikithi yalo msebenzi empeleni ingumsebenzi wokudalula iqiniso, indlela, kanye nempilo kaNkulunkulu kubo bonke abakholwa Kuye. Lo msebenzi ngumsebenzi wokwahlulela owenziwa nguNkulunkulu. Uma ungawabuki la maqiniso ngokubaluleka kwawo futhi uhlala ucabanga ukuwabalekela noma ukuthola indlela entsha yokuwabalekela, ngithi uyisoni esikhulu. Uma ukholwa kuNkulunkulu, ube ungalifuni iqiniso noma intando kaNkulunkulu, noma ungayithandi indlela ekusondeza kuNkulunkulu, ngakho ngithi kuwe ungumuntu ozama ukubalekela ukwahlulela. Ungunopopi futhi uyimbuka elibalekela isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe. UNkulunkulu ngeke axolele muntu ohlubukayo ophunyukayo phansi kwamehlo Akhe. Abantu abanjalo bayothola isijeziso esiqine kakhulu. Labo abeza phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuze behlulelwe futhi esebengcwelisiwe bayophila phakade embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Nakanjani, lokhu kuyokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo.

Abantu bathi uNkulunkulu ulungile, futhi uma nje umuntu emlandela kuze kube sekugcineni, ngokuqinisekile akakhethi, ungoNgcwele.

Uthi futhi, “Noma kunjalo, ngikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungile. Sengihluphekile ngenxa Yakhe, ngayaluza ngenxa Yakhe, futhi ngazinikela Kuye futhi ngisebenze kanzima naphezu kokunganakwa; nakanjani uzongikhumbula.” Kuyiqiniso ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungcwele, nokho ubungcwele bakhe abuthintwa ngisho nobuncane ububi: Ubungcwele bukaNkulunkulu abuhambi ngentando yomuntu, abungcolisiwe inyama futhi abuthengwa. Bonke abavukelayo nabaphikisayo futhi abangahambi ngendlela Yakhe, bayojeziswa; abekho abathethelelwe futhi abekho abayobuye badingeke uma kunesidingo! Abanye abantu bathi, “Namuhla ngiyagijima ngenxa Yakho; lapho kufika ukuphela, unganginika isibusiso esincane?” Ngakho ngiyakucela, “Ingabe uwenzile amazwi Ami?” Ukulunga okhuluma ngakho kuncike ekuhwebeni. Ucabanga ukuthi ngilungile kuphela, nokuthi angikhethi muntu, nokuthi bonke labo abangilandelayo kuze kube sekugcineni nakanjani bazosindiswa bathole nezibusiso Zami. Kunencazelo ejulile emazwini Ami okuthi “bonke labo abangilandelayo nakanjani bazosindiswa”: Labo abangilandela kuze kube sekugcineni yilabo abayothola ukwamukelwa Yimina ngokugcwele, bayilabo okuthi ngemva kokuba sengibanqobile, bafune iqiniso futhi benziwe baphelele.

Kungani kuthiwa ukwenza kwalabo abasemabandleni enkolo sekuhanjelwe isikhathi? Yingoba lokho abakwenzayo akuhlangene nomsebenzi wanamuhla. ENkathini Yomusa, lokho abakwenzayo bekuyikhona, kodwa ngokwedlula kwaleso sikhathi futhi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu waguquka, ukwenza kwabo kuye ngokuya kuphelelwa yisikhathi. Kushiywe umsebenzi omusha kanye nokukhanya okusha. Ngokubheka isisekelo sawo sokuqala, umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele uqhubekele phambili kwezinye ngezinyathelo eziningi ezijulayo. Kodwa labo bantu basabambeke esigabeni sokuqala somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, futhi babambelele ezenzweni zakudala kanye nokukhanya okudala. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ungaguquka kakhulu kabi eminyakeni emithathu noma emihlanu, ngakho lungebe lukhulu kakhulu uguquko olwenzeke eminyakeni eyizi-2000? Uma umuntu engenakho ukukhanya noma ukwenza okusha, kusho ukuthi usilele emsebenzini kaMoya oNgcwele. Lokhu kuwukwahluleka komuntu; ubukhona bomsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu kungephikiswe ngoba, namuhla, labo abebekade benomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele basalandela izinqubo eseziphelelwe isikhathi. Umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele uhlala uqhubekela phambili, futhi bonke labo abasemgudwini kaMoya oNgcwele kumele baqhubekele phambili bajule futhi baguquke, isinyathelo ngesinyathelo.

Kucashunwe embhalweni othi “Umsebenzi KaNkulunkulu Nokwenza Komuntu” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni

Njengoba umuntu ekholwa kuNkulunkulu, kumele alandele eduze ezinyathelweni zikaNkulunkulu, isinyathelo nesinyathelo; kumele “alandele iMvana noma ngabe iya kuphi.” Yilaba bantu kuphela abafuna indlela yeqiniso, yibo abazi umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Abantu abalandela njengezigqila amagama nezimfundiso yilabo abakhishiwe ngumsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Esikhathini ngasinye, uNkulunkulu uzoqala umsebenzi omusha, futhi esikhathini ngasinye, kuzoba nesiqalo esisha kubantu. Uma umuntu elandela iqiniso lokuthi “uJehova nguNkulunkulu” futhi “uJesu nguKristu,” okungamaqiniso asebenza kuphela enkathini eyodwa, umuntu-ke akasoze ahambisana nomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi uyohlala engakwazi ukuzuza umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Noma ngabe uNkulunkulu usebenza kanjani, umuntu ulandela ngaphandle kokungabaza, futhi ulandela eduze. Ngale ndlela, umuntu ubengasuswa kanjani uMoya ONgcwele? Noma ngabe wenzani uNkulunkulu, inqobo uma umuntu enesiqiniseko sokuthi umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi ehambisana nomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele ngaphandle kokunqikaza, futhi ezama ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zikaNkulunkulu, pho angajeziswa kanjani? Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awukaze ume, izinyathelo zakhe azikaze zime, futhi ngaphambi kokuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha, ubelokhu ematasa, futhi akami. Kodwa umuntu wehlukile: Njengoba ethole ingxenyana yomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, uwuphatha sengathi awusoze waguquka; esethole ulwazi oluncane, akaqhubekeli phambili ukuze alandele ezinyathelweni zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu omusha; esebone ingxenyana yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ubheka uNkulunkulu ngokushesha njengesithombe esibazwe ngokhuni, futhi ukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyohlala eyilesi simo asibona phambi kwakhe, ukuthi sasinje kudala futhi siyoba njalo nangesikhathi esizayo; esethole ulwazi olungatheni, umuntu uziqhenya kangangoba uyazikhohlwa futhi aqale ukumemezela ngesimo nobukhona bukaNkulunkulu okungekho nhlobo; futhi eseqinisekile ngesigaba esisodwa somsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, noma ngabe wuhlobo luni lomuntu olumemezela umsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu, umuntu akawamukeli. Laba ngabantu abangeke bakwazi ukwamukela umsebenzi omusha kaMoya oNgcwele; futhi balukhuni; futhi abakwazi ukwamukela izinto ezintsha. Abantu balolo hlobo bakholwa kuNkulunkulu kodwa abamamukeli uNkulunkulu. Umuntu ukholwa ukuthi ama-Israyeli ayenephutha “ngokukholwa kuJehova bese engakholwa kuJesu,” kodwa abantu abaningi babamba iqhaza kulokhu “ukukholwa kuJehova bachithe uJesu” futhi “balangazela ukubuya kukaMesiya, kodwa baphikisa uMesiya obizwa ngokuthi uJesu.” Akumangazi-ke ukuthi abantu basaphila ngaphansi kukaSathane emuva kokwamukela isigaba esisodwa somsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi abakazitholi izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu. Lokhu akudalwa ukuhlubuka komuntu? AmaKristu emhlabeni jikelele angahambisananga nomsebenzi omusha wanamuhla abambelele enkolweni yokuthi asenhlanhleni, ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzofeza izifiso zabo ngazinye. Nokho abakwazi ukusho baqiniseke ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ezobayisa ezulwini lesithathu, futhi abanasiqiniseko ngokuthi uJesu uzobalanda egibele ifu elimhlophe, futhi bengesho nakancane ngokuqiniseka ukuthi uJesu uzofika ngempela na egibele phezu kwefu elimhlophe ngalolo suku abalucabangayo. Bonke balangazele, futhi badidekile; nabo uqobo abazi nokuthi ngabe uNkulunkulu uzothatha omunye nomunye wabo, ingcosane yabantu abehlukene, bakuwo wonke amahlelo. Umsebenzi owenziwa uNkulunkulu manje, inkathi yamanje, intando kaNkulunkulu - abaqondi kutho kulokhu, futhi akukho okunye abangakwenza ngaphandle kokubala izinsuku ngeminwe yabo. Yilabo kuphela abalandela ezinyathelweni zeMvana kuze kube sekugcineni abayokwazi ukuthola izibusiso zokugcina, kanti labo bantu “abahlakaniphile,” abangakwazi ukulandela kuze kube sekugcineni kepha bekholwa ukuthi bakuzuze konke, ngeke bakwazi ukubona ukuvela kukaNkulunkulu. Bonke bakholwa ukuthi bangabantu abakhaliphe kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi bayakunqamula ukuqhubeka kokuthuthukisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwesizathu, futhi kubukeka sengathi bakholwa ngokugcwele ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzobayisa ezulwini, lapho “abathembeke kuNkulunkulu kakhulu, abalandela uNkulunkulu, abalandela amazwi kaNkulunkulu.” Noma “bethembeke ngokweqile” amazwini akhulunywe uNkulunkulu, amazwi abo nezenzo kusabonakala kunyanyisa kakhulu ngoba kuphikisana nomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi benza inkohliso nobubi. Labo abangalandeli kuze kube sekugcineni, abasilelayo emsebenzini kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi ababambelela emsebenzini omdala abahlulekanga nje ukugcwalisa ukwethembeka kuNkulunkulu kuphela, kodwa, baphenduke labo abaphikisana noNkulunkulu, baba yilabo abachitha isikhathi esisha, futhi abazojeziswa. Ngabe bakhona abadabukisa ngaphezu kwabo? Abaningi baze bakholwe ukuthi labo abachitha umthetho omdala futhi bamukele umsebenzi omusha abananembeza. Laba bantu, abakhuluma ngonembeza kuphela, futhi bengawazi umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, bazogcina sebenqanyulelwe amathuba okuthuthuka ngobabo onembeza. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awulandeli imfundiso, futhi yize kungumsebenzi Wakhe uqobo, uNkulunkulu akabambeleli kuwo. Lokho okumele kuphikwe kuyaphikwa, lokho okumele kunqunywe kuyanqunywa. Kepha umuntu uzenza isitha sikaNkulunkulu ngokubambelela engxenyeni encane yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuphatha. Akukhona ukuxaka komuntu lokhu? Akukhona ukungazi komuntu lokhu? Uma abantu belokhu benovalo futhi beqaphele kakhulu ngenxa yokwesaba ukungazitholi izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, yilapho behluleka khona ukuthola izibusiso ezinkulu, kanye nokuthola isibusiso sokugcina. Labo bantu abalandela umthetho njengezigqila bonke bakhombisa ukwethembeka okukhulu emthethweni, futhi abaveza lokho kwethembeka emthethweni, yibo abangabahlubuki abaphikisana noNkulunkulu. Ngoba manje sekuyiNkathi Yombuso hhayi iNkathi yoMthetho, futhi umsebenzi wanamuhla nomsebenzi wesikhathi esedlule ngeke kufaniswe, futhi umsebenzi wesikhathi esedlule ungeqhathaniswe nomsebenzi wanamuhla. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu sewuguqukile, futhi ukwenza komuntu nakho sekuguqukile; akusewona owokubambelela emthethweni noma ukuthwala isiphambano. Ngakho, ukwethembeka kwabantu emthethweni nasesiphambanweni akuzukuthola ukuvunywa uNkulunkulu.

Labo abafisa ukuthola ukuphila ngaphandle kokwethembela eqinisweni elikhulunywa uKristu bangabantu abangenangqondo kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi bayilabo abangayamukeli indlela yokuphila elethwe uKristu abalibele ukuphupha. Ngakho ngithi uma abantu bengamamukeli uKristu wezinsuku zokugcina bayohlala bezondwa uNkulunkulu unomphela. UKristu uyindlela yomuntu yokungena embusweni ngezikhathi zokugcina, abanye abangangakunaka. Akekho umuntu ongalungiswa uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokudlula kuKristu. Uyakholwa nguNkulunkulu, futhi kumele wamukele amazwi Akhe futhi uhloniphe indlela Yakhe. Kumele ungacabangi nje ngokuthola izibusiso ngaphandle kokuthola iqiniso, noma ukwamukela okuhlinzeka ngokuphila. UKristu uza ngezinsuku zokugcina ukuze labo abakholelwa Kuye ngokweqiniso bakwazi ukuhlinzekwa ngokuphila. Umsebenzi Wakhe wenzelwa ukuqedela isikhathi esedlule futhi ungena kwesisha, futhi indlela okumele ithathwe yibo bonke abafuna ukungena esikhathini esisha. Uma wehluleka ukumazisa, futhi esikhundleni sokugxeka, ukuthuka, noma ukumkhaphela, kusho ukuthi nakanjani uyosha ingunaphakade, futhi awusoze wangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uKristu ngokwakhe uyisibonakaliso soMoya oNgcwele, futhi ukubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu, loyo uNkulunkulu amethembe ukuthi uzokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni. Futhi ngithi uma wehluleka ukwamukela konke okwenziwa uKristu ngezinsuku zokugcina, wethuka uMoya oNgcwele. Isijeziso okumele sibhekane nalabo abathuka uMoya oNgcwele sicacele bonke abantu. Ngiyanitshela ukuthi uma niphikisa uKristu wezinsuku zokugcina, futhi Nimuphika, kusho ukuthi akekho umuntu ongakuthwalela umphumela walokho. Phezu kwalokho, kusukela ngalolu suku kuya phambili anizukuba nelinye ithuba lokuthola ukugunyazwa uNkulunkulu; noma ningazama ukuzikhulula, anisoze nabona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba aniphikisani nomuntu, aniphikisani nokuthile okudaliwe, kodwa uKristu. Ingabe uyawazi umphumela walokhu? Awenzanga iphutha elincane, kodwa wenze icala elesabekayo. Futhi ngeluleka bonke abantu abamelene neqiniso, noma abagxeka ngobudedengu, ngoba yiqiniso kuphela elingakunika ukuphila, futhi yiqiniso kuphela elingakwenza uzalwe kabusha futhi ubone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu.
